Mu Zili gazed at the blood-red pagoda and the blood-red stone tablet, muttering to himself, “Why does this place feel so eerie…”
Ji Ou, rubbing his bald head, couldn’t help but say, “The Heavenly and Earthly Gates have been opened before, and the Tianlin Ancient City has appeared multiple times. I’ve heard from the seniors who’ve entered the Heavenly and Earthly Gates that the Tianlin Ancient City always comes with both opportunities and dangers, and each time it’s different. This time… could it be the last time the Tianlin Ancient City appears?”
“Think about it. The opening of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates this time is just off. First, the Heavenly and Earthly Gates have merged into one, allowing both the Heavenly Gang Realm and the Myriad Methods Realm cultivators to enter the same otherworldly space.”
“Secondly, those fifth-stage spiritual beasts with the strength of the Return-to-Origin Realm can just rush in, but the great figures of the Return-to-Origin Realm from the Qingzhou Continent who tried to enter were directly killed by backlash!”
This time, it’s all different from the previous openings of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates.
“Where there is an anomaly, there must be something sinister. What you say might not be wrong. It’s very likely that this is the last time the Tianlin Ancient City will appear, and perhaps it’s also the last time the Heavenly and Earthly Gates will manifest,” Mu Zili nodded in agreement.
The two of them looked at Ye Wushuang again.
“Junior Brother Ye, what do we do now?”
Ye Wushuang looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, “We’ve come all this way. Do you dare to go inside the Tianlin Pagoda and find out what’s going on?”
The hundred-zhang-tall blood-red pagoda stood alone on the desolate square, looking truly daunting.
“Live fast and die young, what’s there to be afraid of?” Ji Ou chuckled and said, “This Tianlin Pagoda must be related to the sealing. If we don’t go in and find out, we won’t be able to get out. In the end, we might still die. Let’s go in and see what the catch is!”
“Okay.”
The three of them made up their minds. Just as Ye Wushuang was about to move, on the other side of the blood-red pagoda, several figures suddenly appeared in the dark night.
“Huh?”
Ji Ou looked over and was surprised to see, “It’s Li Qingyao, Li Baifeng, and Li Shiyuan…”
That group of people were all martial artists from the Li Clan. However, compared to the number they had seen before, there were only about a dozen Li Clan martial artists left now.
It seemed that the three of them were also planning to lead the remaining members of the Li Clan into the Tianlin Pagoda.
After all, the green light columns had been consumed a lot in the past few days, and there were fewer and fewer left. If they didn’t find a way out soon, they might really be wiped out by the Bloodbone People.
At this moment, Li Qingyao was leading the group. When they were only a dozen meters away from the blood-red pagoda, he suddenly stopped.
“Since everyone is here, let’s all come out. It’s best to see together what strange things are inside the Tianlin Pagoda,” Li Qingyao said in a suppressed voice. It was very faint, but it carried far.
Apparently, the Li Clan people did not want to be the first to try and serve as pathfinders for others.
“Why? None of you willing to come out?” Li Qingyao said coldly, “Since that’s the case, we’ll stay here and attract the attention of the Bloodbone People around us. Let’s see where exactly you are all hiding, shall we?”
“Hehe, Li Qingyao, why be so confrontational? We’re all in a desperate situation now, aren’t we?” A cheerful voice rang out. From a corner of the street, a dozen figures emerged.
The young man at the head was none other than the Seventh Prince of the Tianyan Dynasty, Tianyuan Bing.
Next to Tianyuan Bing stood Wu Tingsheng and Dan Yucheng.
Tianyuan Bing stood with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, “The rest of you, come out as well!”
Soon, from all directions of the streets, figures emerged from behind walls, rooftops, and shops.
The Crown Prince of Taiqing Palace, Yu Hao, and the Holy Maiden, Huayuli.
The giant sword sect Shang Tianqing.
They were all there.
And… Xiao Ge from the Sacred Dan Sect!
This guy had seen Ye Wushuang kill Dongfang Yu last time and was so scared that he ran away. He had truly been living in fear these past few days.
Li Qingyao of the Li Clan saw that Xiao Ge was followed by five or six people and couldn’t help but frown. “Xiao Ge, where is Dongfang Yu? Weren’t you with him?”
Hearing this, Xiao Ge looked at Li Qingyao with a face full of grievances and resentment.
You ask me where Dongfang Yu is?
Don’t you know that Dongfang Yu was killed?
Didn’t you know about the big commotion that night?
Are you seriously pretending not to know?
Xiao Ge kept silent, but Prince Tianyuan Bing laughed and said, “Li Qingyao, Dongfang Yu ambushed Ye Wushuang and Ji Ou that night, but was killed by Ye Wushuang. Didn’t you know?”
Upon hearing this, the people of the Li Clan were all stunned.
The Tianlin Ancient City was quite large, and everyone was scattered, avoiding the pursuit of the Bloodbone People. It was normal that the Li Clan didn’t know.
After all, these past few days, they had been avoiding the Bloodbone People during the day, and there were indeed occasional battles at night.
It was normal that the Li Clan didn’t know.
“Dongfang Yu… was actually killed by Ye Wushuang…” Li Baifeng looked incredulous.
At this moment, Shang Tianqing said, “Dongfang Yu is dead, but… what about Shang Yunshang, Duan Xingqing, and Wan Yan Chuxue from the Tianji Mansion?”
No one spoke at this moment.
The three geniuses of the Tianji Mansion had been encountered by them before, but none of them were seen now.
Did they not come?
That shouldn’t be the case!
The green light columns that could protect them in the ancient city had almost been exhausted these past few days. If they didn’t come to seek a chance to break the困境 tonight, they might be devoured by the Bloodbone People tomorrow.
The people of the Li Clan, the people of Taiqing Palace, and Xiao Ge all looked puzzled.
But Tianyuan Bing remained silent, just smiling.
“Tianyuan Bing, do you know something?” Shang Tianqing asked.
“What could I know?” Tianyuan Bing shrugged and said, “These past few days, I’ve just been busy running for my life…”
Shang Tianqing felt something was off and wanted to ask more.
At this moment, Li Qingyao said, “Alright, since that’s the case, let’s all work together to figure out what’s so strange about this Tianlin Pagoda!”
“Otherwise, when the sun rises tomorrow, we’re all likely to become the victims of the Bloodbone People.”
The geniuses all nodded in agreement.
These past few days had been like being in prison, truly unbearable.
The oppression from the Bloodbone People was not only physical but also a mental torment.
“Wait a minute!”
But just at this moment, Xiao Ge took a step forward.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ge with puzzled eyes.
Xiao Ge said directly, “Ye Wushuang, Mu Zili, Jiang Yihan, Ji Ou, and the others are definitely still in the ancient city, and they’re not dead. They must be nearby. If they don’t come out, we’d better not go into the Tianlin Pagoda.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Ge in surprise.
“What do you mean, Xiao Ge?”
Xiao Ge said again, “Let me tell you the truth. Ye Wushuang was able to kill Dongfang Yu. None of you here are a match for Ye Wushuang.”
“If we fight hard in the front to find a way out, but he waits in the back to take advantage…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s brows furrowed.
Indeed, that was a possibility!
Li Qingyao immediately said, “If Ye Wushuang is here, then please come out!”
There was no response from anyone around.
Xiao Ge took another step forward and said fiercely, “Ye Wushuang, Mu Zili, I know you’re definitely here. Come out now, or… I’ll definitely attract the Bloodbone People and drag you all down with me. If we’re going to die, let’s all die together!”
