2112: Shackles

Shackles

Contrary to Chu Liuyue's expectations, Cen Yi didn't stop her after asking that question. Instead, he agreed directly.1

It was as if the sentence just now was just a casual remark out of worry. However, Chu Liuyue knew Cen Yi very well—he never spoke nonsense.

But since he had already said so, Chu Liuyue couldn't be bothered to ask further. The most important thing was to find out what was going on over there.

She nodded slightly. "Just be careful."

With that, she walked forward.

She had just taken a step when someone approached her.

Rong Xiu walked to her side and held her hand.

Chu Liuyue felt a little more at ease, and her lips curled up slightly.

The group of them walked toward the hall.

Qiang Wanzhou stared at the hall and felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples to suppress this and followed her again.

…

These people were all very powerful, so they were extremely fast. But after two hours, Chu Liuyue realized that the distance between them and the hall seemed to be the same as before.

She couldn't see any changes with the naked eye.

Sand dunes rose and fell. Apart from the hot sand, there was nothing.

As Chu Liuyue walked, she kept thinking about the various ancient books she had seen in the past. The Red Moon Desert has always been very mysterious to the world. Since ancient times, there have been very few rumors related to it.

Chu Liuyue had almost flipped through all the books in the Tianling royal family, but she had only seen a few contents. As for the books in the God Residence Realm, they had nothing to do with this place.

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't think of what kind of existence this hall was.

After thinking about it and not having an answer, she gently squeezed Rong Xiu's hand and asked in a low voice, "Rong Xiu, do you know what's going on?"

Rong Xiu paused and shook his head.

Chu Liuyue felt regret. "Even you don't know…"

In her understanding, Rong Xiu was almost omniscient. He always knew many secrets that the outside world had never heard of.

She thought she could get something out of him.

Rong Xiu glanced at her.

She frowned slightly, her thick and long eyelashes fluttering. Clearly, this matter puzzled her very much.

He said, "Perhaps we'll know when we get there."

Chu Liuyue nodded.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked to the right.

A few figures suddenly appeared.

Chu Liuyue saw a familiar figure at a glance.

The group of people quickly sensed the presence of Chu Liuyue and the rest.

The young woman in the lead was first stunned before she revealed a look of joy. "Why are you guys here!?"

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, "Senior Sister Rui'er, long time no see."

These people were from the Flying Star Sect. The woman in the lead was Shi Rui'er.

Shi Rui'er quickly walked over. When she heard Chu Liuyue's words, her face instantly turned red. "We entered the academy almost at the same time. I don't dare to be your senior sister."

Actually, they weren't very familiar with each other in the past. But ever since Chu Liuyue saved her life, Shi Rui'er was very grateful and had always been very close to her.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you for the list of herbs," Shi Rui'er suddenly remembered something and said.

She was talking about Chu Liuyue agreeing to do the medicinal herb business with the Flying Star Sect.

At first, she wasn't sure. After asking around, she found out that there were many aristocratic families who wanted to build a relationship with Peach Blossom Dock, but Chu Liuyue only took on a few orders—the Flying Star Sect was one of them.

"I've always wanted to visit you personally, to thank you when I had the chance, but I thought that you shouldn't have much time recently. Thus, I put it aside for the time being. I didn't expect to meet you here," Shi Rui'er explained.

The entire God Residence Realm knew that Chu Liuyue had occupied Peach Blossom Dock and established Yue Manor. Now, even those people from first-rate families had to address her respectfully as 'Master Yue.'

Shi Rui'er looked at Chu Liuyue and sighed in her heart. Who would've thought that in such a short period of time, she would become such a stirring figure?

Even though she already knew that Chu Liuyue wasn't an ordinary person, her speed and boldness still shocked her.

Chu Liuyue smiled nonchalantly. "That's not important. On the other hand, why are you suddenly here?"

Shi Rui'er blinked. "We're naturally here like you!"

Chu Liuyue was stunned for a moment before she quickly reacted. "You're saying… it's because of the new Gate Realm?"

"Yeah!" At this point, Shi Rui'er realized something. "You… aren't?"

Chu Liuyue smiled helplessly. "To be honest, we've been here for more than half a month. We just found out about the Gate Realm."

Shi Rui'er nodded in understanding. Yes, Chu Liuyue was originally from outside the God Residence Realm.

"What a coincidence!" Shi Rui'er smiled, and there was a hint of excitement in her words. "This trip is worth it!"

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Shi Rui'er looked surprised. "You still don't know? The news has already spread in the God Residence Realm! Everyone says that after this newly opened Gate Realm, there's a secret to breaking through the shackles of the gods!"

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. "What did you say?"

Shi Rui'er pointed at the hall in the sky—she had noticed it when they first arrived. "Look, I heard that the secret is hidden in that hall! You should also know that no one has crossed that threshold in the God Residence Realm for 10,000 years. This time, there was a natural change, and the Gate Realm appeared! It's not just us. Now, countless experts in the God Residence Realm are already coming over!"
