#1260 - Chapter 1260 Hard Work
The young disciple remained firm, "This is for Siqin."
The young disciple tore open the roasted chicken's wrapping paper, aimed it at the ice chamber's entrance, and waved it a few times, sending the roasted chicken's aroma into the chamber.
This action intensified the fragrance, and the roasted chicken's scent dissipated everywhere, causing the mouths of the fellow disciples nearby to water.
"Is it really not possible? Let me have a taste, just one bite," a senior brother pleaded from the side.
"Exactly, just one bite, even a sliver of meat will do, it won't affect Siqin's consumption."
The young disciple ignored them, continuing to move the roasted chicken closer to the inside.
At this moment, everyone heard a faint rustling sound from inside the ice chamber.
Then, the young disciple took out a string of bells from his pocket, and while holding the roasted chicken, he shook the bells. Amidst the sound, a loud panting noise echoed from the ice chamber.
Something was walking towards them.
Thump, thump, thump.
Everyone could hear it clearly, step by step.
"He actually found a way," the senior brother who had been vying for a taste praised sincerely.
The young disciple remained unmoved, but upon hearing Siqin's voice, the joy on his face was hard to conceal.
The Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge looked over, his expression one of utter unfamiliarity.
Just as he was about to take further action, the sound from the ice chamber grew louder. Siqin was already very close to them.
The young disciple also stood up, walking around, making the bells ring louder, and the sound inside also grew louder.
Soon, the sound of nails scratching wildly could be heard.
Ripping and tearing sounds.
Suddenly, with a 'poof' sound.
A yellow halo was torn open from the inside, revealing half of Siqin's head.
The Great Elder of Lion Camel Ridge hurriedly went forward, using his strength to tear the entire yellow halo apart, and the massive barrier collapsed on its own.
Finally, the entire ice chamber was exposed.
The entire Lion Camel Ridge was in an uproar!
Everyone knew that whoever obtained Siqin obtained the world. Now, if Siqin belonged to Lion Camel Ridge, then the entire sect could freely come and go in the Upper Realm, appointing and dispatching anyone.
However, people were inherently innocent, but possessing a treasure invited trouble.
Bringing Siqin back to Lion Camel Ridge safely was a major problem, not to mention that they were still unable to escape from the Misty Forest.
Speaking of which, these people then remembered the other purpose of entering the ice chamber.
Where was Ye Kong?
How come only Siqin was here? Where was Ye Kong?
Without delay, the Great Elder immediately sent people to search the ice chamber everywhere. A group of disciples ran all over the ice chamber, but saw nothing.
They only saw the collapsed passage, knowing that there had been a fierce battle here.
Over here, Siqin, having finished bandaging her wound, swallowed the last bite of the roasted chicken, stood up, roared at the crowd, and then walked into the ice chamber.
"Follow her!"
The Great Elder commanded.
The disciples all followed, following Siqin through the passage and several ice chambers. Siqin raised her head and touched a miniature switch, and suddenly, a dark secret room appeared before everyone.
Then, Siqin walked in.
The first disciple followed.
"Ah!"
He missed his footing and fell straight down.
"What happened?"
A disciple followed closely.
And also fell down.
"What's going on?"
A disciple curiously stepped forward, and likewise fell down.
One, two, three...
They were lining up to offer themselves up.
Until the Great Elder followed, stopping when he was about to step down. "Wait, there's a problem."
At this moment, the voices of the disciples came from below.
"Great Elder, there's a huge black hole here, and a corpse!"
A corpse?
Could it be Ye Kong?
The Great Elder's heart chilled, and he also fell down.
The Great Elder landed and realized that this was another secret chamber of the ice chamber, a little darker than the ice chamber above, but the decorations were exactly the same. As the disciples said, there was a dried corpse in front of him, and a huge black hole next to the dried corpse was constantly emitting light, attracting people to approach it.
The Great Elder walked a little closer and immediately determined that the dried corpse was not Ye Kong.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A disciple looked at the black hole and said unwillingly, "Could it be that Ye Kong fell down there?"
There was silence.
"Damn, that's no different from being dead. If Ye Kong dies, we won't be able to get out either. We might as well wait for death together."
Someone began to speak negatively.
Qing Shui looked at the Great Elder from the side, "Great Elder, do you want someone to enter the black hole to save Ye Kong? I am willing to go in."
Qing Shui said this with a sincere face, and even the Great Elder was stunned.
This disciple had always been unremarkable. It was only from the moment he parted ways with Da Bao and insisted on going down the cliff that the Great Elder noticed that Lion Camel Ridge actually had such a disciple.
"Ye Kong has always been my role model, the light I want to desperately pursue. It's just that I've always been timid and hid behind, never daring to show my face and tell him.
Ye Kong will never know that there was a disciple who once paid a lot to save him, but as long as he can save Ye Kong, I am willing to try."
"Good," the Great Elder's eyes warmed, "Rest assured, Ye Kong will know."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Ye Kong can live," Qing Shui said, and jumped down.
Instantly, the whole person was submerged in the black hole.
"Qing Shui..." the disciples behind called out.
With a 'plop' sound, like a fish falling into the water, the sound reached Ye Kong's ears, waking the sleeping Ye Kong.
Ye Kong stretched lazily, already not knowing how long he had been here.
He only looked up at that flower, which was already blooming incomparably brightly, presumably a long time had passed.
However, Ye Kong did not notice that huge changes had already taken place in his whole body.
And Ye Kong also reacted at this time.
What fell down?
Ye Kong got up and looked around, the surroundings were still a vast expanse of white, no different from before.
Only, suddenly, that golden staircase rose again!
One step after another, extending all the way.
Stairway to hell.
Someone's coming! This was Ye Kong's first reaction.
Ye Kong was overjoyed and walked directly towards the staircase.
Over here, Qing Shui, after experiencing a series of struggles and falls upon entering the black hole, when he opened his eyes again, he had entered a completely empty world. Everything around him was strange and harmonious. He took a few steps forward.
Suddenly, a golden staircase appeared in front of him.
Qing Shui hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and stepped up.
Suddenly, the entire staircase began to shake violently, and Qing Shui quickly jumped down.
After jumping down, the staircase returned to calm.
Qing Shui waited for a moment, then continued to step up.
After that, Qing Shui saw on the staircase a person he had been thinking about day and night, and who he most wanted to see after diligently cultivating.
