Abyss Walker

Chapter 109 The Kingdom of God and Sun

Yun Muhan was constantly reminding himself.

Dugu Jianling's voice echoed in Yun Muhan's mind once more: Be cautious, but don't lose true allies, nor let any enemy go unpunished.

Yun Muhan understood that he needed to find a balance between trust and vigilance, and at the same time, he needed to verify Shen Riqingxue's intentions.

He closed his eyes, sensing Shen Riqingxue's every movement, while silently building a defense line in his heart.

Yun Muhan: In this world full of unknowns, we must be prepared at all times to deal with any possible changes.

Yun Muhan's breathing gradually became steady. Although his body was in pain, he did not relax his vigilance.

Shen Riqingxue's movements were gentle yet swift. She applied a special herb to Yun Muhan's wound, an herb that could quickly stop the bleeding and accelerate wound healing.

"This herb is a secret of my clan, and it has miraculous effects on external injuries," Shen Riqingxue explained softly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Yun Muhan nodded slightly. He could feel the coolness from his wound, and the pain lessened. He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Ri Qingxue with deep eyes: "Qingxue, thank you."

Shen Riqingxue smiled faintly, a complex emotion in her eyes: "Between you and me, there is no need for thanks. Our destinies have long been intertwined."

Yun Muhan's heart stirred; he knew that what Shen Riqingxue said was true. Ever since they met, their fates seemed to be drawn together by some mysterious force, and they could not easily sever ties, whether as enemies or friends.

"Dugu Jianling, what suggestions do you have?" Yun Muhan asked silently in his heart.

"Stay vigilant. If she's an ally, you can relax for now. If she's an enemy, be ready to kill her at any time," Dugu Jianling's voice rang out again.

Yun Muhan's chest rose and fell with each deep breath, his eyes flashing with calm and determination. He knew that in this place full of unknowns and dangers, every decision could be a matter of life and death. He had to find a delicate balance between vigilance and trust; it was a contest that would test his wisdom and courage.

After treating her wounds, Shen Riqingxue slowly stood up. Her movements revealed a hint of fatigue that was not easily detected, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Her gaze pierced through her surroundings, fixed on the distance towards the Temple of the Sun. A determination and anticipation shone in her eyes, as if a mission she had to fulfill lay in that direction.

Shen Ri Qingxue's long hair fluttered gently in the cold wind, her clothes danced in the breeze, and her figure stood out resolutely in this frozen land. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, she had to forge ahead, for she bore the honor and responsibility of the Shen Ri family on her shoulders.

In her heart, the frost and cold wind around her seemed to sense her determination, and they became even more violent, trying to stop her from moving forward.

But Shen Riqingxue's steps became even more resolute, her figure standing even more upright in the wind and snow. She knew that only through this psychological and strategic contest could she find true allies to face the impending challenges together.

"We should set off." Shen Riqingxue's voice was firm and powerful.

Yun Muhan nodded, a hint of determination in his eyes. The trust between them was incredibly fragile, but on this unknown journey, it was the only bond that allowed them to rely on each other.

(Do not develop any feelings for anyone from God's Kingdom! Not even a dog, not even a bacterium.)

“Okay, let’s go.” Yun Muhan replied, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Yun Muhan and Shen Ri Qingxue slowed their pace at the end of the corridor, their gazes occasionally sweeping over the murals and sculptures. Each piece was exquisite, revealing the glory and heritage of the Shen Ri family. The battle scenes depicted on the murals were lifelike, and the figures in the sculptures were majestic and dignified, as if telling one legendary story after another.

As they approached the main hall, Yun Muhan felt increasing pressure. This pressure didn't come from the outside, but from his own inner tension and anticipation. He knew that every step could be a move on a chessboard, and every decision could affect the entire situation.

Shen Ri Qingxue's expression also turned serious. As a member of the Shen Ri family, she had a deeper understanding of the impending confrontation. Her hand gently brushed against the railing of the corridor, the cold sensation from her fingertips making her even calmer.

Shen Riqingxue unconsciously tightened her grip on the treasure at her waist.

Yun Muhan noticed this small action. Although he was very puzzled, he still gently patted her shoulder to signal her to relax.

"No matter what happens, you must not show fear," Yun Muhan said in a low voice.

Shen Riqingxue nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.

When they finally stood before the main hall, Yun Muhan took a deep breath and composed himself. He knew that once he crossed this threshold, they would enter a completely new battlefield. His gaze was resolute, and he leaned forward slightly, ready to face whatever was to come.

Shen Riqingxue gently pushed open the main hall's door. The heavy door creaked softly, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. The interior of the main hall was even more ornate, with intricate patterns painted on the high dome and a huge crystal chandelier emitting a soft glow that illuminated the entire space.

Yun Muhan and Shen Ri Qingxue entered the main hall, their gazes quickly sweeping over everyone present. The high-ranking members of the Shen Ri family sat in their high positions, their sharp eyes seemingly able to see into people's hearts.

In the shadows, Yun Muhan sensed a series of hidden presences—potential enemies whose gazes were like cheetahs lurking in the night, ready to strike at any moment.

Yun Muhan and Shen Riqingxue stood side by side, their presence no less imposing than anyone else present. Although Yun Muhan was nervous inside, he appeared calm and composed. He knew that the key to this psychological battle lay in maintaining composure and confidence.

Shen Ri Qingxue displayed her pride and determination as a member of the Shen Ri family. There was no fear in her eyes, only loyalty to her family and adherence to justice.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was tense and solemn, with everyone awaiting what would happen next. Yun Muhan and Shen Riqingxue knew that what they were about to embark on was not just a conversation, but a contest concerning honor and destiny.
