"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

As they fell, the purple-clothed girl shouted to Gu Sheng.

"Why blame me? I don't want to fall down!"

Gu Sheng retorted.

"Why not blame you? Remove my restraints now!"

The purple-clad girl shouted.

"No! You're still my hostage!"

As Gu Sheng was speaking, there was a splash and both of them fell into the underground river.

Gu Sheng secretly rejoiced that this was a secret river, otherwise it would be troublesome.

In an instant, the cold river water surrounded them, and Gu Sheng held the purple-clothed girl's hand tightly to prevent her from getting lost in the water.

The water in the underground river was rushing rapidly and they were swept all over the place.

Relying on his own cultivation, Gu Sheng tried hard to steady his body and tried to find a exit.

The girl in purple was struggling in the water, looking a little flustered.

She looked at Gu Sheng, with a complex light flashing in her eyes, as if at this moment, her attitude towards Gu Sheng had some subtle changes.

It is pitch black in this underground river.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng's spiritual sense is relatively strong. The small golden lake between his eyebrows is like a heavenly eye that can see everything in front of him clearly.

Even if he can't see it, it doesn't matter. With his powerful spiritual sense, he can naturally sense the changes in the surrounding situation.

The purple-clothed girl's voice seemed a little weak amid the sound of water, but the accusatory tone in it was extremely obvious.

"You are such an idiot. If you escape here, we will all become wandering souls in the dark river!"

"cut!"

Gu Sheng sneered, but there was no regret on his face.

"Even if I die, I would never want to fall into the hands of the Ji family. Besides, I didn't jump in on purpose, I just slipped in accidentally."

Gu Sheng said somewhat speechlessly.

When the purple-clothed girl heard this, the light in her eyes became more complicated.

She seemed to have never seen such a stubborn person. Even at the critical moment of life and death, he still maintained his persistence.

After drifting in the dark river for a while, Gu Sheng cast his gaze towards the purple-clothed girl and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you involved with the Ji family?"

The purple-clothed girl was silent for a moment in the darkness. Finally, she spoke slowly with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her voice: "I am the daughter of the Ji family, and Ji Haoyue is my seventh brother."

"Ah? What did you say? Your seventh brother?"

Gu Sheng was shocked when he heard this.

He never expected that he would meet the young lady of the Ji family under such circumstances.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but he quickly suppressed them.

No matter how beautiful Miss Ji is, now is not the time to think about those things.

"Miss Ji, can we temporarily put aside our prejudices and find a way out together?"

Gu Sheng suggested, with a hint of sincerity in his tone.

The purple-clothed girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say. Now, we have to find a way out first. We can settle other grudges after we get out."

In this way, the two continued to move forward in the dark river.

Gu Sheng's spiritual sense and the purple-clothed girl's intuition cooperated with each other, and they groped forward in the darkness and turbulent water.

I don’t know how long I drifted in the dark river.

Since the purple-clothed girl was restrained by Gu Sheng, she needed to be led forward.

But this dark river is so vast that I don’t know when I can get out.

After stabilizing his body, Gu Sheng wiped the water stains off his face.

"You, hand over all the treasures on you."

Gu Sheng said coldly.

"What? Are you trying to take advantage of someone else's misfortune?"

The purple-clad girl had a look of horror on her face, but her tone was teasing.

After all, the two have been together for some time, and it always feels a little weird to talk about this now.

A sneer appeared on Gu Sheng's lips, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

"Yes, I was robbing."

Gu Sheng's voice was icy, "If you don't hand over the treasure, I will kill you now!"

The two of them were in this dark river, so it would be reasonable for them to be drowned, let alone killed by Gu Sheng.

Thinking of the consequences, a trace of fear flashed in the purple-clothed girl's eyes.

But soon, the purple-clothed girl's emotions stabilized.

She knew that facing a man like Gu Sheng, any weakness would only become his handle.

"call……"

After taking a deep breath, he said calmly: "I practice the Ji family's magic. If I die, a special mark will be left on your body. The Ji family will track this mark. No matter where you escape, they will find you."

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng's face changed. He didn't expect that the Ji family would have such means.

He originally just wanted to obtain some treasures through threats to increase his chances of survival.

But now it seems that this plan is not feasible.

"Really?"

Gu Sheng asked in disbelief.

"Really? Try it if you don't believe me!"

The purple-clad girl replied solemnly.

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, in that case, I will spare your life, but I have to tell you in advance, don't play tricks in front of me."

"You've got me so tightly under your thumb, what other tricks can I play? Besides, you're still a man from time to time? Are you afraid of a beautiful girl who has just come of age, like me?"

The purple-clothed girl gave Gu Sheng a blank look.

"Okay, you're right."

Gu Sheng couldn't argue with the other party and had to give in.

But this also increases the fun of being together, otherwise they would be bored to death.

The two continued to drift in the underground river, and time passed by minute by minute.

They didn't know how long they had been drifting until suddenly, they felt the pressure in their body suddenly increase a lot.

Gu Sheng looked around and found that they seemed to have come to an open place.

This place is not in a narrow underground river, but in an open area similar to the bottom of a lake.

The water here is not as turbulent, and the surrounding vision has become clearer, but the pressure is much higher.

He saw huge stone pillars all around him, which seemed to be the pillars supporting the entire underground world.

Between the stone pillars, you can vaguely see some strange creatures swimming.

The girl in purple also noticed the changes in the surrounding environment, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"It looks like we have hope. This may be a junction of underground rivers. Perhaps we can find a way to the surface."

"Um"

Gu Sheng nodded and began to look for a possible way out at the bottom of the lake.

At the same time, a cunning gleam flashed in the purple-clothed girl's eyes.

"Hey, can you untie me now? That way we can find a way out faster."

The purple-clothed girl looked at Gu Sheng with anticipation and said.

Gu Sheng turned to look at her and immediately became alert.

"Let you go? No! You are my trump card."

Gu Sheng said this, pulling the purple-clothed girl and continuing to walk inside.

There was a hint of disappointment on the face of the purple-clothed girl, making her look as if she was in a very embarrassing situation.

In this way, the two continued to walk towards the depths of the dark river between the stone pillars.

Unconsciously, the water flow around them gradually became calm, but the pressure became greater and greater, as if an invisible force was oppressing them.

Not long after they walked, the purple-clothed girl's face suddenly changed. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she twisted her body in panic.

"Hurry! Take me out of here, quick!"

The purple-clad girl said with a trembling voice.

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng frowned, he could clearly feel that the purple-clothed girl's panic was not fake.

But after looking around, he did not find any danger, and even his spiritual sense could not detect the murderous aura from the outside world.

So her sudden change made people suspicious.

Then, Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice: "Why are you nervous?"

The purple-clothed girl said hurriedly: "I... I feel something approaching us. It's very dangerous. We must leave immediately!"

Gu Sheng looked around and still didn't feel anything unusual.

However, the purple-clothed girl's fear did not seem to be groundless.

After careful consideration, he decided to trust her once. After all, in such an unknown environment, it was always better to be more vigilant.

"Okay, let's get out of here."

Gu Sheng said this and started walking back with the girl in purple.

However, the moment they turned around, a powerful current suddenly surged in from the depths of the dark river, bringing with it a suffocating pressure.

Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl were impacted by the current and were involuntarily pushed deeper into the underground river.

Driven by the current, their vision began to blur, and the surrounding stone pillars and swimming creatures became distorted.

The purple-clothed girl's face turned even paler, and she was shaking with fear, unable to speak.

Gu Sheng's mind was also in a state of confusion, and he tried his best to rush back.

Just then, he noticed a faint light not far ahead, which seemed to be an exit.

"Look, there's light. Let's swim towards it!"

Gu Sheng said to the purple-clothed girl and swam desperately towards that side.

As they approached, the light grew brighter and the pressure of the water gradually eased.

But when they were about to get close to the light, the light disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.

"This……"

Gu Sheng was stunned.

"Swim upwards!"

The purple-clad girl reminded.

"Ok!"

Gu Sheng responded and quickly adjusted his direction, swimming towards the lake.

However, as they continued to rise, the darkness above their heads did not gradually brighten as expected, but instead seemed to be swimming into an endless abyss.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters...

After swimming for nearly several hundred meters, Gu Sheng and the girl in purple both felt something was wrong.

The water pressure and darkness here seemed to tell them that continuing upstream might be a wrong choice.

The two began to wonder whether this was a trap or a naturally formed closed loop dead end.

Gu Sheng stopped and turned to look at the girl in purple.

At this time, a look of worry appeared on her face.

The two stood facing each other in the water, exchanging their thoughts.

"We can't go any higher. If we continue like this, we might run out of energy and die here."

Gu Sheng said with a serious expression.

"Ah."

The purple-clothed girl nodded: "Let's go back and find the entrance to the dark river. That may be our only way out."

After the two reached a consensus, they slowly turned around and prepared to dive down.

However, just as they were about to return, the water flow at the bottom of the lake suddenly changed.

A powerful undercurrent surged from below, pushing them upwards.

Gu Sheng and the purple-clothed girl were overwhelmed by the sudden force, and they tried hard to stabilize their bodies.

But the force of the current was so strong that they could hardly control their direction.

Driven by this force, they were taken to an unknown area.

In the chaos, Gu Sheng tightly grasped the purple-clothed girl's hand to ensure that the two would not be separated in the water.

Gu Sheng's vision became blurred by the impact of the water flow, and he could only rely on his spiritual sense to determine the location of the girl in purple.

After a period of struggle, the force of the water flow finally weakened.

It was only then that Gu Sheng realized that they were back to the position where they were pushed up by the dark river.

"It seems we can't escape... wuwu..."

After seeing everything clearly, the girl in purple burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? I'm still here."

Gu Sheng said speechlessly.

"Go to hell, I'm not crying for you, I'm crying for myself. Just think about how pitiful it is for me, a young lady from the Ji family, to die at the bottom of this lake... I'm still bound by you before I die... Humph!"

After the purple-clothed girl finished speaking, she glared at Gu Sheng and snorted angrily.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just trying to find a way out, really."

Gu Sheng was a little impatient.

"A way out? There is no way out here! The underground river we just entered is called the Rootless Underground River, No!"

The girl in purple said, pointing her finger behind the stone pillar, "Look at what those words are?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and looked at the words in the distance.

"Bronze Immortal Palace."

Gu Sheng said this with his brows tightly furrowed.

"Could it be that there are immortals living here?"

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

"fart!"

The purple-clothed girl retorted fiercely: "According to ancient records, anyone who arrives here must die. You brought me here, it's really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Gu Sheng frowned and felt sad.

"Since we can't find the entrance to the Rootless Underground River, we have no choice but to move forward."

The girl in purple looked at Gu Sheng's determined eyes and seemed to understand something.

She sighed and said, "Okay, since you said so, let's go explore this bronze fairy palace. However, it is very dangerous here."

"What are you afraid of? Let's go!"

Gu Sheng displayed his powerful masculine charm and walked inside with the girl in purple.

The two of them walked slowly along the stone pillar and came to the bottom of the four big characters "Bronze Immortal Palace".

The stone pillars here are engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

Gu Sheng observed these runes carefully, trying to find some clues from them.

"Do these runes look like some kind of map or guide?"

Gu Sheng pointed at the runes on the stone pillar and said to the girl in purple.

The purple-clothed girl came closer and said, "It does look a bit like that. From what you said, do you know these runes?"

"do not know."

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"Then why do you say that? It's like you're an archaeologist."

The purple-clad girl said with a look of disgust.

"Hmm? What's that over there?"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng discovered that there seemed to be a light flickering in the hall.

Then, he led the purple-dressed girl into the palace. (End of this chapter)
