Shangguan You glanced at the pitch-black entrance within the vortex; it was also cloaked in darkness. Are these water columns trying to pull me into the vortex? she wondered. Shangguan You's lips curled into a cold smile. Despite the shallowness of the lake, it hides such a dark gateway. What secrets lie at the bottom?
Countless water columns sprayed into the air, trapping Shangguan You. The force pulling at her feet grew stronger and stronger. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed, the water columns disintegrated into droplets that fell back into the lake.
"Shangguan You, you fool," Zhuge Feng chastised under his breath. He had told her to leave, but she didn't. Instead, she had trapped herself. Seeing the dense water columns surrounding her, Zhuge Feng involuntarily took a few steps forward, aiming his gun at the vortex in the center of the lake.
