Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 293: Letter in the Gray Box
Gu Xiaoxing raised his hand and smashed Pan Changjin's body to pieces. Only in this way could he be completely relieved. In the end, only a storage ring fell to the ground.
After taking Diaotian back into his body, Gu Xiaoxing confirmed again and again that there were no traps in the storage ring. Then he raised his hand and sucked it in, refining it easily. Soon, Gu Xiaoxing saw all the items inside, but he frowned.
As a storage ring for the Nascent Soul Realm, the collection inside was indeed rich, with many spirit stones, magic weapons, and various valuable treasures, among which there were also many talismans, and even a few teleportation talismans, but Gu Xiaoxing did not find any innate spirit talismans.
Although Gu Xiaoxing had never actually seen this kind of innate talisman, he knew and heard that this kind of talisman was different from the ordinary talismans in the storage ring. The innate talisman was natural, not man-made.
It can be said that this is a talisman drawn by heaven and earth, which is fundamentally different from the talismans made by cultivators.
But Gu Xiaoxing searched the entire storage ring but couldn't find any innate talisman.
"Could it be that he has been lying to me from the beginning?"
Gu Xiaoxing was puzzled, and finally shook his head. There was a flash of light in his hand, and a gray box appeared.
"Is this the letter he was going to send?" Gu Xiaoxing was speechless. He didn't know who sent the letter. Why did he use a box, grey at that? He didn't know whether it contained a letter or ashes. How unlucky!
He took the gray box in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was covered with some strange patterns, like a formation. In fact, he was also very curious about what kind of letter was in the box that could be sent to him by the people from Xuantian Palace.
But after looking at it for a long time, Gu Xiaoxing was unable to pry it open. After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind and injected a trace of cultivation into the gray box. Suddenly, the patterns on it lit up, and in an instant it turned into a silver box. Then there was a flash of light, and it disappeared just like that .
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless again. He had originally been thinking about whether he could catch up, but in the end he couldn't even touch the shadow of the box.
"Forget it, forget it. After all, Xuantian Palace is my father-in-law's territory. The messenger is incompetent, so I will just do it for him reluctantly." Gu Xiaoxing murmured.
If this letter was not from Xuantian Palace, but from some other force, Gu Xiaoxing would rather throw it into the sea of fire ahead.
“That’s right!”
Gu Xiaoxing clapped his hands suddenly, remembering that he seemed to have two things that needed to be dealt with, so he walked straight towards the sea of fire.
But suddenly, a little silver light appeared in front, and just as Gu Xiaoxing was stunned, a big shiny lump flew out from the silver light and hit him directly on the head.
"ah……!"
Gu Xiaoxing screamed as if he was suddenly hit by a club and saw stars. When he came to his senses, he became furious. He covered the big bump on his head and walked towards the big lump that fell on the ground. Only then did he realize that the big lump was the gray box that he had just sent away.
But this made Gu Xiaoxing even angrier. He pointed at the box and cursed, "I sent you away out of kindness, but you dared to come back and plot against me. You don't know what's good for you, so I'll beat you up!"
Crack...!
The gray box suddenly opened by itself.
Gu Xiaoxing raised his hand and paused in mid-air. He blinked and murmured, "Is this letter for me?"
Gu Xiaoxing walked forward cautiously and found that there was a jade slip in the box with the word "rain" engraved on it.
"Sound transmission jade slip?"
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the word "rain" on the jade slip, and a possibility emerged in his mind. Then he picked up the jade slip and activated it, but there was no sound from it, and there was silence for a while.
"Huh? Broken?"
Gu Xiaoxing shook the sound transmission jade slip, making sure he had activated it.
"Little Lone Star..."
Suddenly, after a period of silence, a voice finally came out from inside. It was so familiar and extremely cold that Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but shiver and swallowed subconsciously.
"I will go to a secret place. Perhaps the 'thread' will be temporarily broken..."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Dongfang Yu actually still cared about him. He was afraid that he would worry, so he specially asked someone to send a letter down.
But soon Gu Xiaoxing felt a little aggrieved again, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn it, you are still so unreliable, couldn't you send the letter down earlier? You made me waste so much of my life in vain, you just wait!"
"Just wait!" At this time, Dongfang Yu's voice continued to be heard from the jade slip, becoming colder and colder. "Hmph...! You are very capable. You and her child are already three years old. Wait until I come out. If you don't give me an explanation! I...you...you...take care of yourself!"
From now on, the letter is finished!
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned, his eyes wide open, completely confused.
"What child? What three years old?"
Especially when Gu Xiaoxing heard Dongfang Yu's voice completely turned into tears at the end, he was even more frightened. He stared at the sound transmission jade slip and shouted, "Speak clearly! Where did this three-year-old kid come from?"
But the jade slip had already transmitted the message and no more sound came out.
“It’s over…!”
Gu Xiaoxing was frightened to the point of paleness and despair. He held the jade slip in one hand and covered his chest with the other, stepping back step by step. He could not imagine how Dongfang Yu would retaliate against him when he saw him.
Then, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes flashed fiercely again, and he said, "Who leaked the news, and who is spreading rumors!"
Soon, a figure emerged in Gu Xiaoxing's mind, and he immediately gritted his teeth: "Dongfang...father-in-law! It must be him! Damn it, he even cheated his own son-in-law, he is simply not a human being!"
But Gu Xiaoxing suddenly remembered that his father-in-law was a fox demon and was indeed not a human being, and he couldn't help but curse angrily again.
"Old fox!"
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, put away the box and the jade slip, and then looked up to the sky and said, "Dongfang Yu, this is all exaggerated by my father-in-law. It has nothing to do with me. Obviously, there is no child yet, only... ahem... I'll explain it to you later."
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't continue speaking, so he adjusted his mood and walked towards the sea of fire again.
The closer to the sea of fire, the higher the temperature. But for Gu Xiaoxing now, this temperature is not much different from the summer breeze and can no longer cause any burns to him.
Arriving at the edge of the sea of fire, it was still the same as before, with blazing flames and bubbling magma. The magma here was not the flowing molten material in ordinary volcanoes, but when the flames became dense enough, it looked like slurry or liquid. In fact, they were much more terrifying than magma.
Gu Xiaoxing stood at the edge of the sea of fire, looking down and fell into deep thought. He couldn't see clearly what was under the sea of fire, and his spiritual sense couldn't reach in, but he could feel a sense of crisis from the depths of the sea of fire.
Since Gu Xiaoxing could sense the crisis, then Pan Changjin must have been the same before. What made him go down into the sea of fire at the risk of his life?
