For a moment, Chu Liuyue did not know what to say.
Punishment?
Shangguan Yue was already dead, and she had died so tragically; what punishment could he possibly give her?
She also wanted to tell herself that Mu Qinghe had not betrayed her.
But everything she saw currently was constantly proving that it was highly likely Mu Qinghe had already stood on the opposite side of her before her death.
Otherwise, the subsequent events were truly inexplicable.
He remained the highly esteemed Vice Commander, as if her death had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
There were even those boots on his feet...
Chu Liuyue’s eyes stung with bitterness.
Mu Qinghe looked so pained that she almost thought he was truly repenting and grieving for her.
But compared to the torture she had endured, what did that even amount to?
Chu Liuyue once again suppressed the turmoil in her heart.
No matter what, she could no longer trust Mu Qinghe.
Fortunately, he didn't seem to have recognized her voice just now; otherwise, she feared it would have brought even more trouble.
This silver pyramid was truly peculiar. From here, she could see almost the entire situation within the Imperial Mausoleum, and those inside could hear her voice.
It seemed this small object controlled the entire mausoleum.
An impulse surged in Chu Liuyue's heart once more, and she reached her hand out toward the pyramid.
*Click!*
Before her hand could even touch it, she heard another strange sound.
Chu Liuyue paused her movement.
This time, she heard it clearly!
It was indeed a sound coming from the pyramid!
Her heart stirred, and she walked to the other side.
From her previous position, she could only see the three mirror surfaces on the pyramid, but she had never seen the final side.
And that sound had come from that direction!
Chu Liuyue focused her gaze, only to suddenly freeze in place!
On this last mirror surface, there was actually nothing!
No, to be precise, this mirror surface was completely covered by a mass of blackness!
The other three mirror surfaces were all clean and transparent, allowing any scene to be seen clearly, but this final one...
Chu Liuyue glanced back and realized this was the position of "Fire."
Within that crimson dragon head, water was still flowing continuously into the lake, appearing perfectly normal.
Yet, an inexplicable sense of unease rose in Chu Liuyue's heart.
This pyramid should be able to view the entire situation of the Imperial Mausoleum, but now, one side had suddenly been blocked.
In other words, she could not know what was happening in the space of the "Fire" position.
This was absolutely no coincidence.
An absurd and bold hypothesis surfaced in Chu Liuyue's mind.
Could it be—that someone had already entered that place and employed some kind of method to prevent her from peering into the situation inside!?
At this thought, Chu Liuyue's heart shriveled into a knot.
Even someone as powerful as Mu Qinghe did not possess such ability; who else could do this?!
Just what was the opponent afraid of her seeing!?
Chu Liuyue fell into deep thought.
A moment later, she gritted her teeth and finally snatched the silver pyramid in her hand!
It was extremely cold to the touch!
A wave of chill radiated from it, spreading at an almost visible speed, rapidly covering Chu Liuyue's palm!
Startled, Chu Liuyue immediately tried to let go!
However, at that exact moment, the water droplet within her dantian suddenly began to spin frantically!
A streak of crimson flame abruptly erupted from Chu Liuyue's palm!
*Boom!*
The two forces collided violently!
Ice shards flew everywhere!
Sparks flew in all directions!
Chu Liuyue felt as if her entire palm had gone completely numb! She had lost all sensation!
Almost uncontrollably, she gave a violent yank!
The pyramid was finally gripped firmly in her hand, having been torn from its original position!
The crimson flames surged forth, completely surrounding the pyramid!
With this layer of power protecting her, Chu Liuyue was finally able to isolate that terrifying aura.
Seeing that the object was finally trapped within the flames, Chu Liuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The chill contained within it was extraordinary!
If she had been even a moment later, her palm might have been frozen off!
However, just as the corners of her lips curled into a slight smile, they suddenly stiffened.
Because the space where the pyramid had originally been was actually freezing over!
And it was continuously spreading to the surroundings!
Chu Liuyue immediately retreated!
However, the space froze with extreme speed; in the blink of an eye, it had expanded from mid-air onto the black jade floor!
A terrifying pressure surged toward her!
Chu Liuyue was nearly crushed to the point of being unable to breathe!
Soon, she was forced to the very edge of the platform!
One foot slipped into empty space, causing her body to sway; she barely managed to steady herself.
However, because her movements were so hurried, a hairpin on her head suddenly fell into the lake.
Chu Liuyue instinctively looked back.
But that single look nearly made her heart stop beating!
After that hairpin fell into the lake, it didn't make a single sound!
Because the moment it touched the lake water, the hairpin had already rapidly dissolved and frozen!
In the blink of an eye, the hairpin had become a thin sliver of ice floating on the lake surface, before silently sinking to the bottom.
Everything happened so fast!
The clear lake water remained calm, as if the fall of the hairpin had no effect on it at all.
It was only then that she saw countless brilliant lights shimmering in the depths of the lake!
Chu Liuyue gazed closer, her heart instantly filled with horror!
At the bottom of this transparent lake, there were actually countless ice blocks of various shapes!
And those starlight glimmers were actually reflections from countless tiny, fragmented ice shards!
Chu Liuyue suddenly felt a chill surge up from the soles of her feet!
If she had truly fallen from here just now...
*Crack.*
The sound of something breaking came from behind her.
Chu Liuyue immediately turned around, only to find in shock that the entire space above the black jade platform had been completely frozen!
It had even spread to beneath her feet!
That sound just now was the sound of the platform's edge cracking under the sudden weight of such power!
The flames in Chu Liuyue's hand were still burning fiercely, but even so, she still felt a chill throughout her entire body.
The entire space felt as if it had turned into a massive ice cellar; terrifying cold was permeating from all directions!
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth, driving the crimson flames to form a barrier around her body!
In this way, she finally managed to keep the chill at bay.
However, the surroundings did not slow down because of her actions.
The space continued to freeze, finally spreading to the surface of the lake!
After a brief silence, with the black jade platform as the center, the lake surface began to freeze!
When a thick layer of ice covered the entire lake, Chu Liuyue's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by something.
In the next instant, cracks suddenly covered the surface of the ice!
All the ice blocks began to fall silently toward the bottom of the lake!
Simultaneously, the clear, clean lake water surged upward, quickly swallowing those ice blocks.
The black jade platform beneath Chu Liuyue's feet completely disintegrated! Her body fell uncontrollably into the abyss!
