P.S. The number of people keeping up with the story has dropped, sigh. Could everyone hang in there a little longer?
Inside the Snake Abyss
Su Qingqiu withdrew the Devil Pill. His enormous snake eyes blinked, their dim light flickering as he fell into thought.
A wisp of his Spiritual Light was hidden inside the Devil Pill, so Yao Wenqing naturally hadn't noticed him eavesdropping.
That meant he'd heard every word Yao Wenqing had said after returning. Of course, deep down, Su Qingqiu still believed that Yao Wenqing had deliberately said those last few things for him to hear.
Whether his Spiritual Light's will was present or not.
"What's he trying to say? That the Snake Abyss is the biggest problem? Does he want me to help deal with it?"
"Does he really think I have deep ties with the Dragon-Raising Temple?"
If things became impossible, he wouldn't keep staying at the Dragon-Raising Temple. With his current strength, he could leave the Snake Abyss without anyone noticing.
The main reason he hadn't left was that nowhere else could help him grow as well as the Snake Abyss.
"That missing Bodhisattva from three hundred years ago... Could they be deep inside the Snake Abyss?"
Su Qingqiu gazed at the Snake Abyss's crisscrossing tunnels and the enormous Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and shivered for no reason.
What exactly lay in the depths of the Snake Abyss? How could it trap a second-rank Bodhisattva for more than three hundred years, with no way out?
Could the Ancient Si Snake have come back to life?
"Why worry about all that? I should focus on getting stronger first."
Thinking about it gave him a headache, so he stopped. Where there was a will, there was a way; things would work themselves out in the end.
