With Feng Zhi Yang’s words, the atmosphere turned stiff.

Feng Liu reacted fastest, slapping Feng Zhi Yang on the head. He berated, “What nonsense are you saying?”

Shan Jing hurriedly expressed to Sima You Yue, “Yang’er and Xing’er are close since childhood. He’s worried about Xing’er’s safety, so he spoke these words in short-tempered. Please don’t mind.

After getting slapped by his father, Feng Zhi Yang recalled Sima You Yue’s status. Although Feng Zhi Xing’s student, he was the contract master of the Roc King. The status could not be messed with.

But he could not back down in grace after being berated by his father in front of everyone. He could only hold his tongue.

Even though Sima You Yue was angry inside, Feng Liu and Shan Jing already apologized. They had been amable to her, plus they were her master’s parent. She suppressed her anger.

“Whether I’m worried about my master is obvious from me asking the whole bird clan look for his news. Although you’re my master’s brother, it is not up to you to criticise me.” She said coldly. “For your parents’ sake, I won’t fuss over it. Next time, it won’t be the same.”

“Young Master, let’s wait for the elders.” When Bai Qing saw Sima You Yue’s anger and imposing manner, he was quite pleased with her being the contract master.

“For your safety, we’ll wait a bit longer.” Feng Liu said as he witnessed Sima You Yue nodded her head. He turned around and ordered the bodyguards, “Pass this on, everyone prepare well. We’ll leave any minute.”

“Yes, Lord Liu.”

“You Yue, we’ll go rest at the campsite.” Shan Jing invited Sima You Yue.

“Alright.”

Sima You Yue and Shan Jing strolled to one of the tents while Bai Qing assumed the role of her bodyguard.

As Bai Qing said, half a day later, the elders of the egret clan arrived. Sima You Yue summoned Little Roc. They paid their respects to him.

“Young Master, this Bloody Tunnel is too dangerous. You and king would be endangered. It’s better if you wait above.” An elder clansman spoke rudely in front of the Feng family.

The Feng family felt embarrassed. The elder of the Egret Cland probably knew about the previous matter and was unsatisfied with Feng family.

“Thank you elder for your concern. But I must go to the Bloody Tunnel.” Sima You Yue smiled.

“Why?” The elder clansman didn’t understand. Her strength wasn’t that great. Although unpleasant, she would dragged others down if she went down. It was best if she observed above.

“That year, Master left a soul mark in my body to protect me. Now this is the only way to sense him.” Sima You Yue said, “Only by going down can I find my master as soon as possible.”

“But—-”

“Don’t worry. I have self-protection methods and won’t drag others down.” Sima You Yue promised.

“Since young master is determined, then we’ll accompany you down.” The elder of Egret Clan compromised.

“Grandpa Feng, we’re going down.” Sima You Yue told Feng Liu.

“Alright, I’ll arrange for you to go down right away.” Feng Liu left and returned a moment later to notify her that she could go.

As Sima You Yue prepared to go, Wu Lingyu grasped her hand. “When you descend, you must follow me closely. You cannot leave my side.”

Though she never witnessed the situation below, she heard from people in her family. She had a general idea. But observing Wu Lingyu’s solemn face, she nodded.

There were a lot of people on both sides of the canyon at the moment, but not many people would go down. Sima You Yue glanced around. Those dozens of people around Feng Liu would be going down with him.

“Let’s go.” Feng Liu, Shan Jing, and Feng Zhi Yang rode the flying spirit beast, while Sima You Yue and the Egret Clan elders boarded Halcyon.

Both birds flew downward into the canyons.

Sima You Yue sat on Halcyon. Though she felt they descended at least a hundred kilometers, they have yet to arrive.

“We’ve entered the Bloody Tunnel.” Wu Lingyu observed her doubt and explained.

“We directly entered the Bloody Tunnel?” She didn’t notice anything different!

“There’s no cliff at the bottom of the red canyons. It directly connects with the Bloody Tunnel.” Wu Lingyu remarked. “You can try to sense if he’s there.”

Sima You Yue nodded and closed her eyes. She focused on sensing Feng Zhi Xing’s existence. But the shadow in her dantian was without response.

She suspected that Feng Zhi Xing wasn’t here. When she was about to give up, the faint shadow trembled.

Sima You Yue happily opened her eyes.

“You sensed him?” Wu Lingyu asked.

“Mm.” Sima You Yue smiled. “Although the movement of soul imprint is very small, it’s a response. It means that my master is really here, and still alive.”

The Feng family ahead stopped. Sima You Yue revealed the response to them.

“Then do you know which direction he’s in?” Shan Jing asked.

“I can’t feel it now, but from now on, the reaction of master’s soul imprint is getting stronger and stronger.” Sima You Yue said.

“It means we’re getting closer to Xing’er.” Shan Jing emotionally said. “Xing’er is most likely here.”

Liu Feng’s eyes darken, looking at the white fog filled space around him, he sighed, “I’m afraid Xing’er went deep inside.”

“No matter where Xing’er went, even if there’s demon clan. I must save him!” Shan Jing said with a clenched fist.

“Grandpa Feng, we shouldn’t worry too much. Master’s situation is still stable. I think he’s probably trapped here.” Sima You Yue spoke.

“Let’s continue a little bit more and see if Xing’er there.” Feng Liu said, “You Yue, I’ve to trouble you.”

“This is what I should do.” Sima You Yue answered.

They traveled for a while. Sima youyue found that the soul imprint’s response was becoming stronger when he touched the soul mark, which supported their conjecture. Feng Zhi Xing was deep in the bloody Tunnel!

At the same time, behind a pile of stones of blood tunnel, a man covered in blood suddenly looked at the exit unconvincingly.

The male next to him looked at the exit in surprise, and there was nothing but the demons who were blocked outside.

“Zhi Xing, what’s wrong?” Tuoba Wu Chen asked.

“I think I sensed a familiar aura.” Feng Zhi Xing spoke uncertainty. “It seem… like my soul imprint.”

“Your soul imprint? Where did you left it? Did they come to find us?” Tuoba Wu Chen questioned emotional.

Feng Zhi Xing pondered and said disappointedly, “I probably mistaken, he… is most likely still in the lower continent.”
