Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Resolution

The current City Lord is Nangong Xingyun’s grandfather, who is also Hu Xueqin’s maternal grandfather.

He received the news that his niece’s soul lamp had extinguished, furrowing his brows and making complicated gestures over the soul lamp.

This could only be accomplished by cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage and above.

Nangong Changliu furrowed his brows while looking at the scene, realizing she had died battling a fifth-rank demon beast, but why did she suddenly clutch her head and fall?

He ordered someone to call the people around his niece and learned that she had previously injured her Divine Sense, but why did she still go to Death Valley after getting injured?

The young woman had passed early, and now her only child was gone too, Nangong Changliu sighed.

He wasn’t oblivious to what his niece did and found it quite annoying, but she knew her limits and didn’t go too far.

He turned a blind eye to it all.

Thinking of revenge, should they go to Death Valley to annihilate that Flame Lion?

At this moment, Liu Cheng and his companions arrived. Looking at the several cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage below, Nangong Changliu sighed.

”The young lady has passed away. If you wish to stay in the City Lord Mansion, please find the steward to arrange matters. If not, pack your belongings and leave.”

Liu Cheng and the others all bowed with their heads lowered, not expecting they could still stay. They all bowed respectfully.

Liu Cheng realized that woman was dead, meaning Tan Shaoting and his family were safe.

He hesitated for a moment but didn’t say anything.

The City Lord is quite a sensible person, and if he revealed this matter, he might get blamed for some of his arrangements.

After they went out, they directly went to find the steward, thinking that even if the future days were hard and tiring, it was much better than life outside.

Liu Cheng was assigned to guard the diamond mine, which was a job he was quite satisfied with.

Nangong Changliu sent people to Death Valley to retrieve Hu Xueqin’s body.

Tan Shaoting and his family returned to the side of Silver Moon Lake before nightfall again.

The things important to his wife and daughter were not something Tan Shaoting would give up on.

Fortunately, they left, and the ones that came were only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so they did not discover their family.

The moon slowly rose, and the silvery moonlight spilled on the lake surface, making it look like the surface was covered with lotuses, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Su Yuanyuan already knew the legend here, thinking that a female cultivator named Bai Lian passed away here. Therefore, every night, such scenes would appear.

”Let’s go down and take a look.” She took out many Waterproof Talismans. However, Qi Wen took out a few Water-Repelling Pearls, which were pearls from inside fourth-tier demon beasts under the sea, bought from Duobao Pavilion before.

Su Yuanyuan smiled as she took them. Things from the cultivation world seemed very mysterious to her.

The family went into the water together. Both mother and daughter had water spirit bodies and felt more comfortable underwater than on land.

As they sank gradually, why did it feel like Silver Moon Lake had no bottom?

Tan Shaoting felt a bit anxious, knowing it couldn’t be just a simple lake, but he didn’t expect it to be so deep.

In the water, the three of them felt powerless, which was entirely different from his wife and daughter’s ease.

Su Yuanyuan transmitted to Tan Shaoting, telling him they still had some way to go, but the summoning sensation was becoming more apparent.

Tan Shaoting was even more cautious. He didn’t trust this kind of summoning.

The family slowly sank down, and after about a quarter of an hour, they finally touched the lake bottom.

Su Yuanyuan walked in one direction, with Tan Shaoting closely following behind his wife.

The two of them communicated as they walked, ”I feel it’s here, but there’s nothing here.”

”Don’t rush, feel it slowly.”

Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared beneath Su Yuanyuan’s feet, startling her to take a step back.

”It should be right here. I’ll go down first.”

”I’ll go down first.” Tan Shaoting couldn’t let his wife take the risk.

Su Yuanyuan laughed, ”Whether you go or I go, it’s all the same. Once we go down, we probably won’t be able to contact the surface. Let’s go together.”

Tan Shaoting took the lead, followed by the three children, and lastly Su Yuanyuan.

When Su Yuanyuan stepped into the whirlpool, it felt like being spun in a washing machine.

She didn’t know how long it was before she landed on the ground.

Getting up quickly, she didn’t see her husband and their four sons, which made her anxious. She called out Tan Shaoting and the children’s names anxiously.

Her voice echoed back to her. After calling three times anxiously, she finally heard Tan Shaoting and the children’s responses.

Only then did the family feel relieved, but they had no idea where they were and where the others were.

However, knowing that everyone was okay, the family was at ease.

”Yuanyuan, don’t worry, let’s all be careful,” Tan Shaoting comforted his wife.

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”I understand. Qi Yan, Qi Hong, Qi Wen, you three must be careful.”

All three responded, and the family decided to split up and take action.

Tan Shaoting comforted his wife, but he was very anxious, wanting to find his wife and children immediately.

Su Yuanyuan took out a Luminous Pearl, which was given to her by Qi Wen. This girl was used to collecting these.

It seemed like the young woman’s behavior was correct. You never know when you’d need them.

She saw the place looked like a maze with many paths, which would depend on luck.

Su Yuanyuan smiled and closed her eyes to feel the place, finally choosing the second path on the left.

Turning and winding, she followed this path downward.

Time didn’t seem to flow here, and she didn’t know how long she had walked, but finally, her sore legs indicated some change.

She saw two closed rooms ahead, knowing it was a challenge she needed to overcome.

Standing in the middle of the two rooms, without any special feeling, she simply chose the room on the left.

The stone door opened with a gentle touch, giving Su Yuanyuan a startle.

Inside was a rather beautiful scene, a vast field of flowers, presumably lotuses. They all looked the same, differing only in color.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know them, just recognized that they looked the same as the lotuses reflecting on the lake surface.

She stepped inside, and the stone door behind her closed automatically. When she tried to push it, it wouldn’t budge.

This was likely the challenge her children mentioned.

Turning around, Su Yuanyuan did not walk forward immediately. Instead, she had just realized, there was no sunlight here, so how could the lotuses bloom so beautifully? This must be an illusion.

Thinking this, the beautiful lotuses vanished in an instant, leaving only skeletal remains on the ground.

Su Yuanyuan felt a tightening in her chest. How many people were these? How did they die? It didn’t look like mutual slaughter; there were no weapons around.
