Chen Lingyun and Zhao Yuanzhen took the opportunity to leave the ruins, activated their Invisibility Technique, and made their way toward the underground river.
Arriving at the riverbank, Zhao Yuanzhen summoned the Red Lotus Bowl, enlarging it enough to accommodate the two girls, then dropped it into the river water—it floated up steadily, reassuring them both.
Having boarded the bowl boat, Yin Rou folded two papermen with oars to act as boatmen and began rowing.
Not long after, Yin Rou suddenly said,
"Master, the river water here is heavily imbued with Yin Qi, turbid and thick. Rowing is rather difficult, and our sailing speed may be slower than expected."
