As the Universe Turns - Chapter 439
Chapter 439 Forbidden Region
It turned out that one of them was a mole. Xiao Chen had never expected that, but who among the seven of them would be this mole?
The candle flames in the room flickered, and the two of them stared at each other closely. At this moment, they could almost hear each other’s breathing.
“Do you still remember the order in which the seven of them appeared?”
“Of course I remember …”
Luo Die nodded and said, “The first one is Daoist Gui. He came to find us. The second and third are Daoist Pili Zidian and Blood Drinker. Pili Zidian is the second when he speaks first. The fourth is the Third Division Hall Master, Ji Wuyan. The fifth is Ku Chanzi. The sixth is Unmelted Bone. The last one who appears is the Mysterious Fire Sect Master.”
At the end of her sentence, she looked at Xiao Chen blankly, “Which one of them do you think is the mole?”
Xiao Chen frowned deeply. All seven of them had a deep grudge against the Immortal Alliance, and it seemed impossible for them to be mole. However, there was one mole inside.
“Right now, this person is in the dark. We are in the open.”
“Then … what should we do now?”
The corners of Luo Die’s eyes were still stained with tears. The reason why she asked him now was because she seemed to have grown accustomed to relying on the person beside her for everything. If it were in the past, whether it was a killer of the Dao Wuwei or the Myriad Butterflies Valley Master of the Life and Death Alliance, she would be much calmer than she was now.
“Should I believe you?”
This time, Xiao Chen did not tell her what to do next as usual. Instead, he asked her this sentence. This sentence was the same sentence he had said when he had gone to the Heavenly Gate to save Wei Yang.
Luo Die looked at him and said softly, “Just now you said that we no longer owe each other anything. No … yesterday, you blocked Pili Zidian’s sword strike for me. Just treat it as if I owed you another life. Now that you want to go back and save someone, I will help you. I will help you leave. After you leave the Eastern Continent, we will not owe each other anything …”
Xiao Chen looked at her without saying anything.
After resting for a night, the next day, everyone gathered in a mountain outside the town. The atmosphere today seemed to have become somewhat subtle. The few of them stood together without saying a word, just looking at each other.
Pili Zidian still stared coldly at Luo Die, his gaze carrying a strong hostility. The more this happened, the stiffer the atmosphere between the few of them became.
After a while, Ji Wuyan stepped forward and revealed an expression of displeasure, “Alright, the cracks here are all sealed. It may not necessarily be news from someone. After so many years, the Immortal Alliance may not be unable to find these cracks outside. Especially recently, there have been frequent phenomena in the Demon God Tomb, which will attract the attention of the Immortal Alliance.”
“I agree with Hall Master Ji.”
At this moment, the Profound Fire Sect Master also stood up and looked at Luo Die. He then looked at Pili Zidian and said, “These cracks have been sealed. For the sake of today, we can only continue to go deeper. Otherwise, once the Immortal Alliance completes the Heaven Sealing Array outside, there will be no way out. Sect Master Thunderbolt … What do you think?”
Pili Zidian’s gaze was cold as he stared at Luo Die. He said coldly, “Alright … But if I find out that she is related to the Immortal Alliance, even if I leave the God Devil Tomb, no one will be able to save her.” At the end of his sentence, he glared coldly at Xiao Chen before walking back to Daoist Blood Drinker.
“Amitabha …”
Ku Chanzi clasped his hands together and looked at the resentful Wu Hua Gu, “When did the grievances come to an end? If not, the grievances between you and little friend Wu Chen must be temporarily put aside.”
“Don’t worry … I won’t kill him before I leave the God Devil Tomb.” Boneless looked coldly at Xiao Chen, his voice extremely cold.
“That’s good.” Ku Chanzi closed his eyes and stopped talking.
At this time, Daoist Gui walked up and glanced at everyone. He said in a low voice, “Now that all the cracks have been sealed by Immortal Alliance, it’s useless for us to continue searching. If we want to go out, we can only go there to try …” Finally, his gaze gradually turned to Pili Zidian and Daoist Blood Drink.
“Forbidden Area …”
Daoist Blood Drink frowned and said these two words. Even though the others had already guessed it, they couldn’t help but tremble slightly when they heard this.
How could a place that could cause the hearts of several Soul Formation cultivators to tremble be an ordinary place? The so-called forbidden area referred to the deepest part of Tomb of Gods and Demons. That place had always been regarded as a forbidden area by the people of Tomb of Gods and Demons. Even if a Soul Formation cultivator rashly entered that forbidden area, they might not be able to survive.
The expressions of the few of them became very serious at this moment. Only Ku Chanzi still had his eyes closed, his hands clasped together, and he was constantly chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Xiao Chen’s expression was also very calm, while Luo Die stood beside him, her brows deeply knitted in silence.
After a long time, the Ghost Dao said, “We alone are not enough to go to the forbidden area. We need three more people.”
Of course, Xiao Chen and Luodie didn’t know who these three people were. However, the seven of them, Pili Zidian, naturally knew who they were. Ji Wuyan frowned slightly and called out the names of these three people, “Daolord Impermanence, the Underworld Fire Evil God, and … the only disciple of the Sword Immortal Ruoshui back then, Hantian Gu.”
Xiao Chen naturally understood Tomb of Gods and Demons’s forbidden area, but he had never heard of these three people before. He asked, “Who are they?”
Ji Wuyan turned around. “Three hundred years ago, there were ten Soul Formation cultivators who entered the forbidden zone. However, in the end, only three of them came back alive. The other seven died inside. Of the seven people who died, three of them were already at the peak of Soul Formation. They had practiced the Dao for nearly a thousand years, but they were unable to escape. The three who survived were the three I mentioned earlier.”
Hearing this, Luo Die’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Even a person with such a high cultivation couldn’t escape from it?
“The cracks outside have all been sealed by the Immortal Alliance. If you want to leave, you have to go inside the forbidden zone and find a spatial crack …”
The Mysterious Fire Sect Master walked up. As he spoke, he looked at the others. He frowned and said, “The key is whether the three of them are willing to come with us. Without them leading the way, our journey would be too dangerous. If something unexpected happens, it is very likely that it will be the same as it was more than 300 years ago. This time, no one will be able to escape.”
The few of them knew the serious consequences of the accident, so no one dared to be careless. After a long time, the ghost dao seemed to have made a decision and said seriously, “From now on, we only have to enter. There is no way out. No matter what is ahead, we want to leave alive. We can only move forward and not turn back. If you guys have thought it through, go find those three now.”
The few of them fell into deep thought. This time, what they had to face was a real life-and-death decision. Once they made a choice, they would never be able to turn back.
