264: Finding Long Street

"While that's true, that's not how things are done..." Situ Jiu took a sharp breath, feeling quite helpless.

In truth, from the very beginning, Situ Jiu had been curious; if the legendary Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street was so illusory, entering it would be far too slow.

Besides, since leaving the room, they had been circling around this place.

Consequently, Situ Jiu was growing somewhat impatient.

"Yeah, we've been walking all day, it really is tiring. I'm both exhausted and hungry now." Nan Qingyue was quite helpless; at this point, she could no longer walk.

Nan Qingyue let out a long sigh and simply sat down on the ground.

And right at that moment.

Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up. She suddenly saw a flash of light; at first, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.

But in that moment, Nan Qingyue froze slightly and took a sharp breath.

"Almost there, we're arriving soon, just wait a bit longer!" Physician Chen turned back and continued to persuade them.

Physician Chen looked up, and he too saw that flash of light at this time.

Immediately, Physician Chen's face darkened, wearing a solemn expression.

"What's the situation? Physician Chen, look quickly, that light!" Situ Jiu's eyes lit up as he raised his hand, pointing toward the radiance not far away.

It was clearly evening, so where was this intense light coming from?

This was truly strange.

"Hurry, let's go!" Physician Chen's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

"The entrance to Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street is about to open, move it, let's get inside!"

"If we're late, it'll be too late!"

After leaving those words, Physician Chen strode forward, and in that exact moment, he stepped directly into that radiance.

Situ Jiu was still stunned in place, looking up at this scene.

What exactly was this?

Was Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street really behind this light?

It was clearly evening, yet such a light had appeared!

It truly was bizarre!

"A Jiu, what are you still standing there for? Let's go!" Nan Qingyue watched as the light gradually began to dim; she took a sharp breath, her heart filled with unease.

Suddenly, Nan Qingyue had a strange feeling, as if she had been here before.

Nan Qingyue went directly to Situ Jiu's side and reached out to tightly grip the Sword in her hand; she had already made up her mind.

No matter what lay ahead, Nan Qingyue had to go and see.

"Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street! Here I come!" Nan Qingyue's eyes were spirited as she strode forward, stepping into it with her Sword in hand.

"Senior Sister! Don't you want to reconsider?" Situ Jiu looked up and shouted at Nan Qingyue's retreating back.

However, Nan Qingyue had already stepped into that radiance, vanishing in just an instant.

Situ Jiu stood there, feeling helpless and conflicted, even a bit afraid; he was somewhat fearful of the unknown within Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street.

But Situ Jiu looked up and saw the radiance on the Long Street gradually dimming.

Situ Jiu clenched his fists tightly, having made his decision.

"Senior Sister, I'm coming!" Situ Jiu let out a roar, finally summoning his courage.

Boom—with a loud rumble.

Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu vanished instantly, their destination unknown.

And right at that moment.

The dazzling light on the Long Street vanished in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

After Nan Qingyue stepped through that intense light, she only felt a wave of dizziness before losing consciousness.

"Senior Sister! Senior Sister!" Situ Jiu entered the light, feeling extremely panicked; after all, it was his first time seeing such a thing.

Everything before his eyes was a vast expanse of white; Situ Jiu couldn't see anything at all.

It was truly strange; Situ Jiu looked around and saw no people or objects, yet he could see Spiritual Qi flowing.

"How strange, what exactly is this place!" Situ Jiu took a sharp breath, his brow furrowed.

At this moment, Situ Jiu was quite nervous, not knowing what awaited him ahead.

He then froze in place, hesitating to move forward for a long time.

The surroundings were all white, and nothing could be seen.

And right at that moment.

Situ Jiu saw air currents not far away; these currents were Spiritual Qi—specifically, refined Qi. This was the Spiritual Qi found within a Cultivator.

But why could this Spiritual Qi appear here out of thin air? Shouldn't it be inside a Cultivator's body?

Situ Jiu grew even more curious. His gaze focused as he stared intently at that Qi, then he followed the direction it was heading.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Where are you!" Situ Jiu shouted, but there was no response.

This was truly awkward.

Situ Jiu had no other choice; rather than waiting here to die, it was better to run toward the direction of that air current.

Perhaps the direction the current pointed to was the exit!

Thinking of this, Situ Jiu was overjoyed and strode forward, reaching the side of the current in an instant.

However, just as Situ Jiu reached out to grab the current, it moved again.

The current seemed to be guiding a path.

Realizing this, Situ Jiu hurriedly followed, wanting to find the end—or perhaps the source—of this current.

Situ Jiu wanted to find out where this current came from!

Without delay, he chased after the direction of the air current.

Time passed bit by bit.

Situ Jiu didn't know how long had passed, but he gradually became sleepy, and his consciousness began to fade.

"What's going on? Why am I suddenly so sleepy!" Situ Jiu's brow furrowed as he sensed something was wrong.

After a long while.

Situ Jiu struggled to control his consciousness, forcing himself to snap out of it.

Boom.

The entire space seemed to tremble.

Situ Jiu's pupils shrank violently, and he took a sharp breath, trying to calm himself this way.

However, Situ Jiu didn't care; his face was dark, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Situ Jiu could feel that the end of the current was almost reached; everything was about to begin!

"Almost there, finally almost there! It's right ahead!" Situ Jiu took a sharp breath, his eyes lighting up with a spark of hope.

As long as he left this place, Situ Jiu could live on properly.

So he had to leave!

He couldn't stay here any longer!
