"That's right! We'll get out through the bottom of Spiritlight Lake!" Feng Chenzi said confidently. "You fell from the surface to the lakebed, so you must know about the immense pressure between them. That pressure is what kept me from getting out, but you managed to reach this place safely..."

As for chopping up the stone stele, that was an even greater lie. The stele completely suppressed his demonic qi, so attacking it would merely waste his strength!
