Chapter 931
Or perhaps, they could find a glimmer of hope in that dark passage.
Either...
The goal is to find a way to completely trap the Lord of the Underworld within that mysterious painting!
As long as the Lord of the Underworld doesn't come out...
It's hard to say about the other dozen or so people who were trapped by chains.
But Ji Chen, who was not yet bound by chains, could at least escape this calamity for the time being.
And judging from what the Lord of the Underworld just said...
He said he was a dying man...
So, as long as enough time is delayed.
The dying Lord of the Underworld may die within that painting!
These two roads...
The pitch-black passageway seemed within reach.
Anyone with a little thought can figure it out—
This enclosed space, yet it contains only one pitch-black passage...
This is clearly problematic!
Moreover, if what Que Yun said is true, the Lord of the Yellow Springs is an being who has comprehended the rules of space...
So, he, who was trying to explore that only passage, might have been torn to shreds by the power of space as soon as he entered!
With this in mind, Ji Chen also tried it out with his pet.
Sure enough, after the bone fish swam into the passage, it quickly disappeared without a trace, and then completely severed its connection with Ji Chen.
The pitch-black passage was clearly, as he had suspected, a difficult trap to traverse!
Soon enough, Ji Chen's mind turned to that mysterious scroll again.
At this moment, his aura was no longer as gentle as before. When he looked at Wang Ling again, his tone was heavy as he warned:
"You heard what Que Yun just said."
"If we really wait for the Lord of the Underworld to emerge..."
"Then those aging prodigies whose potential has been exhausted will be our common fate!"
"So, are you still going to keep this mysterious painting a secret?"
Wang Ling frowned slightly.
To be honest, when she heard Que Yun's analysis, she roughly deduced—
These prodigies, bound by iron chains, had their life force stripped away, which must have been used on that eerie altar.
And given the Lord of the Underworld's twisted personality...
Those trapped in this underground space will likely not have a good end.
After all, putting everything else aside, they had discovered the secrets of the Lord of the Underworld!
Based on this alone, the Lord of the Underworld would not let them go.
Even if things develop as the Lord of the Underworld predicted—
The Lord of the Underworld has died, and Jiang Yi has inherited his destiny...
Therefore, Jiang Yi will most likely not let them go either.
The same logic applies—they know far too much! Everything in this cave is something that cannot be exposed to the light of day!
Therefore, even though Jiang Yi had some connections with them...
But if he truly inherits the "destiny" of the Lord of the Underworld, then he will never be able to let them go again!
Therefore, Ji Chen's statement actually makes a lot of sense.
Although Wang Ling came to the Yellow Springs with Jiang Yi.
But now, she's in the same boat as Ji Chen, Que Yun, and the others!
Seeing a softening on her face, Ji Chen immediately pressed his advantage and continued to persuade her.
However, the words were not yet spoken.
On the rock face, the figure bound beside Que Yun suddenly uttered a sentence—
"I believe in Jiang Yi."
These words naturally came from Lu Li.
However, Wang Ling and Ji Chen did not know Lu Li.
The two frowned slightly, then heard Lu Li say with certainty:
"Jiang Yi may not necessarily inherit the so-called 'destiny' of the Lord of the Underworld."
"Even if he does inherit the throne, he may not necessarily follow the same path as the Lord of the Underworld."
"I think that Jiang Yi's choice to drag that giant beast into that black scroll was his own initiative."
"So perhaps we should believe him."
His words made Ji Chen frown and Wang Ling come back to his senses.
Coming to his senses, Wang Ling nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed."
"I think, if the so-called destiny of the Lord of the Underworld is to continuously provide life for that Teng Haiqi..."
"Then Jiang Yi's appearance should be able to change this so-called 'fate'!"
