Chapter 758 Parting Ways!
Chapter 758 Parting Ways!
"Third Brother, are you sure you can do it?"
Seeing that Han Li was not answering his question for a long time, Lin Dong became impatient and immediately came over to ask a question.
Han Li shook his head before standing up.
He put away the battle flags, turned to look at the crowd, and slowly said, "I have never seen anything like this before."
"what's the situation?"
Shi Hao frowned and asked.
Han Li pointed to the skeleton and said in a deep voice, "These skeletons seem to have a restriction formation, but in reality there is no restriction at all. I have tried to probe them many times, and each time I felt the fluctuation of the restriction, but when I really explored them, I found nothing. This feeling... is like touching a cloud of mist, you can see it, but you can't touch it."
Luo Feng frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"
Han Li thought for a moment and said, "I think it should be the resentment emanating from this skeleton that has gathered here. The Ten Fiends have been dead for countless years, and their resentment has not dissipated, turning into a kind of restriction-like fluctuation. Because it is too dense, it has given us the illusion that there is no real restriction here, only the resentment left by the Ten Fiends."
"Resentment?"
Looking at the skeleton, Qin Hao felt a sudden surge of inexplicable sorrow.
What exactly happened here back then that could cause such great resentment in a being of the Ten Fiends?
After a moment of silence, Shi Hao said, "I heard Brother Zhu Chen say that most of the Ten Ancient Fiends were killed by their own people after they were stabbed in the back to protect this world. It's normal that they would have resentment after their deaths..."
"Buzz buzz buzz~!"
Just then, three dark red stone doors suddenly appeared in front of the skeleton.
These stone doors appeared out of thin air, looking as if they were stained with blood, exuding a cold aura. Each stone door was also covered with ancient runes, some of which were already blurred, but one could still feel the ancient and desolate atmosphere.
Lin Dong asked in surprise, "There wasn't a stone gate here just now, how did it suddenly appear?"
Shi Yi stepped forward and decisively began to observe the three stone doors with his double pupils: "These three doors lead to different places. Behind each door should be different opportunities, but they will also definitely be accompanied by dangers."
Shi Hao looked at him and asked, "Can you tell which door here is the safest?"
Shi Yi shook his head: "I can't tell. My double pupils can only see through illusions, but not destiny. I can only rely on my intuition to choose which door to take."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Qin Hao and the others, "Let's part ways here."
Shi Hao was taken aback: "You're leaving?"
Shi Yi nodded: "I have my own path to walk. Although it is safe for me to be with you, it is not conducive to my cultivation. Moreover, there are three gates here. If we want to explore all the secrets within them, we will definitely have to separate in the end."
As he spoke, he walked to the leftmost stone door, then suddenly slammed it open and stepped inside.
The stone door slowly closed behind Shi Yi, blocking everyone's view.
"He just left like that?"
Lin Dong looked at the closed stone door and murmured in surprise.
Shi Hao withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the two stone doors in the middle and on the right, and then asked Qin Hao, "Little brother, which door do you want to go through?"
Qin Hao hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the stone door on the right: "I'll choose this one."
"Okay, then I'll go through the middle door!"
Shi Hao nodded, then looked at Lin Dong and the others: "Brother Lin, are you coming with me or with my brother?"
Lin Dong shrugged: "Whatever, I don't care!"
Han Li and Luo Feng exchanged glances, and then said that they were willing to go through either door, just like Lin Dong.
However, for safety reasons...
Han Li thought it would be better for everyone to split into two groups. Shi Hao was at the peak of his combat power and was also from this world, so he could act without restraint. Therefore, he could take Qian Renxue, Luo Dao, Lan Yichen, and others who were slightly weaker.
Luo Feng and Lin Dong can be with Feng Wu and Qing Yi.
This allocation of combat power ensures the safety of both sides.
After listening to Han Li's explanation, Shi Hao and the others all felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
However, Shi Hao soon discovered a problem.
That is, Han Li did not include himself when dividing up the fighting forces.
"Brother Han, what about you? Which door will you choose to take?"
Shi Hao looked at Han Li and asked, feeling that Han Li must have forgotten about him.
Unexpectedly, Han Li shook his head and said, "I am not good at killing, and I don't like taking risks. I'll just hide here and wait for you to come out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately objected: "How can that be? Third Brother, if you act alone and encounter any danger, we won't be able to help you in time. Besides, apart from Brother Shi Hao's God-Slaying Stone, you're the most proficient in formations here. Why don't you come with us? Anyway, Brother Shi Hao has the God-Slaying Stone, so if we encounter any difficult formations, we won't be afraid. If you come with us, firstly, you can help us solve formation problems, and secondly, we can look out for each other if we act together..."
Lin Dong's words left Han Li unsure of what to do.
He had already decided to hide here and not venture further into the Ten Fiends' lair.
However, Lin Dong asked him to help them break through any possible array restrictions or formations inside.
If he doesn't agree, it would seem a bit disloyal of him.
"Since you think so highly of me, Fourth Brother, then I'll go with you..."
Han Li gave a wry smile, then followed Lin Dong, Luo Feng, and the others into one of the doors.
Seeing this, Shi Hao did not hesitate and led the others through another door without hesitation.
"—Boom!!!"
The moment the stone gate closed, the immortal petals outside suddenly became blurred.
Those sect leaders who had been viewing the interior of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm through flower petals suddenly found themselves unable to see anything.
"What happened? Why are the images on the stone tablet gone?"
"The immortal petals are being obscured by the power within the evil nest!"
"Damn it, what happened inside?"
"Our clan's prodigy is still inside..."
"Our clan's first ancestor was also here..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, their faces filled with worry and curiosity.
Standing beside Zhu Chen, Xiao Yan looked at the blurry petal and scratched his head anxiously: "Big brother, will Brother Shi Hao and the others be alright? This scene suddenly disappeared, and I'm feeling uneasy. Can you think of a way to send me in to check on them?"
Zhu Chen gave him an annoyed look: "You want to go in? Your cultivation level is too high, you can't get in."
Xiao Yan panicked: "Then what do we do? We can't just stand by and watch, can we?"
Zhu Chen shook his head and said calmly, "This Immortal Flower Stamen is something born from the Ancient Immortal Dao. It is not something I can control. Even if you want to break through the rules to enter it, I cannot help you with that."
"Besides, given the strength of Shi Hao and Luo Feng, if they can get into trouble inside, then it's even less likely that the others will come out alive. Do you really have that little faith in them?"
