Chapter 535 Finding a Shortcut!
“Holy crap, I just got here, how did it disappear!?” A group of ordinary people heading toward the scenic area froze in place at a distance.
The martial artists rapidly approaching the mountaintop also noticed this.
But they didn’t stop; instead, their expressions changed as they flew toward the summit with even greater speed.
In their view, the disappearance of the mirage meant someone had reached the mountaintop!
They had to hurry, or they would get nothing!
“Mr. Fang, what should we do now?” Ye Shengxue looked at Fang Yu and asked.
“Don’t rush. Let me see if the Immortal Clan is simply setting up a trap or using bait to fish,” Fang Yu said, closing his eyes.
Ye Shengxue couldn’t understand what Fang Yu meant and looked at him with confusion.
When Fang Yu opened his eyes again, she was startled by what she saw.
Fang Yu’s pupils had turned red, with white runes rapidly spinning within them.
This was the first time Ye Shengxue had seen Fang Yu in this state, and her face was filled with shock.
Fang Yu lowered his head, using the vision from these eyes to peer into the interior of Mount Qiankun.
After seeing the situation inside the mountain, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, surprise flashing across his face.
This entire mountain was a combination of various restrictions!
It could even be said that this wasn’t a mountain but a massive formation!
“This is too dense,” Fang Yu said. His vision was filled with intertwining lines of various laws.
He pulled his vision to the very bottom and saw an object emitting light.
He couldn’t clearly see what this object was.
Because the entire item was wrapped in various forces of law, blocking his view.
The only thing he could be certain of was that this object was definitely not ordinary.
After all, no one would use such a large formation to conceal an ordinary item.
It seemed the Immortal Clan had indeed used bait for their fishing.
However, taking this bait would be incredibly difficult.
In fact, it could be said that apart from Fang Yu, no other martial artist could accomplish this.
The mountain’s restrictions were simply too numerous.
At this moment, Fang Yu sensed the approach of over a hundred martial artists.
Fang Yu’s eyes returned to normal as he turned to the confused Ye Shengxue and said, “We’ll stay here for now and do nothing.”
Soon, eight figures flew out from the cliff behind Fang Yu and landed in front of him and Ye Shengxue.
It was the Yu family siblings’ team.
Yu Nan, with a lollipop in her mouth, turned to look at Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue with contempt mixed with suspicion, and asked, “Hey, who are you two? Were you the first to reach the mountaintop?”
Yu Shijie and his six followers all turned around, looking at Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue together.
Ye Shengxue’s heart began to race as she looked at the group before her.
She could clearly sense that the cultivation auras emanating from these people were far higher than hers!
The cultivation levels of these eight martial artists all seemed to be above the Wuzun Realm!
Such a lineup was extremely powerful!
“Nan, be polite!” Yu Shijie glanced at Yu Nan, then turned back to Ye Shengxue with a kind smile and asked, “Miss, hello, I am Yu Shijie from the Yu family of Dongdu. I’d like to know if you made any discoveries after reaching the summit?”
The Yu family of Dongdu?
Hearing this name, Ye Shengxue’s heart skipped a beat.
Dongdu was a major city. It existed independently from other regions, located in the easternmost part of Jiuzhou Nation, near the sea.
At the same time, Dongdu, along with Nandu of Xiangcheng, Xidu in the northwest, and Beidu, also known as Yancheng, were collectively known as the Four Capitals of Jiuzhou Nation.
The martial arts world of Dongdu was quite powerful, ranking second among the Four Capitals, just behind Beidu Yancheng.
Compared to Xiangcheng’s martial arts world, although Dongdu’s was smaller in scale, its strength was not at all inferior!
Ye Shengxue had once visited Dongdu with her father and had some understanding of its martial arts world.
The Yu family of Dongdu was one of the top families in Dongdu’s martial arts world!
She never expected to encounter people from the Yu family of Dongdu here!
Seeing the change in Ye Shengxue’s expression, Yu Nan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Yu Shijie looked at Ye Shengxue and asked softly, “Miss, are you listening to me?”
“We, we didn’t find anything,” Ye Shengxue answered, glancing at Fang Yu beside her.
Noticing Ye Shengxue’s glance, Yu Shijie finally looked at Fang Yu.
The cultivation aura around Fang Yu indicated he was only at the Innate Realm.
An Innate Realm martial artist was at the bottom of the martial arts world, not worth paying attention to.
“You…” Yu Shijie was about to inquire.
“Boom!”
At that moment, a rumbling sound came from behind.
Yu Shijie’s expression changed as he immediately turned around.
In the center of the mountaintop, a cloud of dust was floating.
Beneath the dust, a hole about twenty meters in radius had appeared.
Many martial artists who had just reached the summit saw this suddenly appearing hole and looked at each other in confusion.
What was going on?
Could this be the entrance to the immortal relic?
While the martial artists stood stunned, a dazzling seven-colored light burst from the hole!
“My god! Divine light erupting—this must be a phenomenon that only appears when an immortal relic manifests!” a martial artist exclaimed.
After this seven-colored light appeared, some impatient martial artists rushed forward, instantly disappearing into the hole.
This prompted those who had been hesitating to make up their minds and rush toward the cave together.
Yu Shijie wasn’t in a hurry, instead frowning as he looked at the hole ahead.
“So many martial artists have gone in, nothing will happen,” Yu Nan said lazily.
“Master Fu taught us that we should remain vigilant at all times…” Yu Shijie said.
“You’re really such a worrywart! We went to all this trouble to get here, and now you’re too afraid to go in?” Yu Nan couldn’t help but curse. “If you won’t go in, fine, I’ll go myself!”
With that, Yu Nan rushed toward the hole.
“Miss!” the followers called out.
Yu Shijie gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go, follow Nan!”
The group quickly left Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue, entering the hole.
At this time, martial artists continued to arrive at the summit and enter through the hole.
In just a few minutes, at least three hundred martial artists had entered the hole.
“Mr. Fang, aren’t we going in?” Ye Shengxue asked, turning to Fang Yu as she watched the martial artists pouring in.
“Of course we’re going in, but not through this hole.”
Fang Yu’s face broke into a smile.
These martial artists, in their pursuit of the so-called immortal relic, had truly lost their minds.
The trap was so obvious, yet they were jumping right in.
Entering through this hole, they would have to pass through at least a dozen restrictions before reaching the treasure at the bottom.
“We’re also going in. Follow me,” Fang Yu said.
Just as Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue turned to leave, five black-robed figures flew to the summit.
While all the martial artists were rushing toward the hole in the center, only Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue were walking in the opposite direction.
Luo Teng, watching Fang Yu’s back, had a strange look flash across his sharp eyes.
“This person actually has…”
After thinking for a moment, Luo Teng turned and ordered his four subordinates: “Enter through this hole and maintain contact with divine sense at all times.”
“Understood.”
The four subordinates didn’t ask any questions, flying straight toward the hole and quickly entering it.
As for Luo Teng, he concealed his aura and followed in the direction Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue had gone.
…
Fang Yu led Ye Shengxue slowly down the cliff, quickly reaching the middle of the mountain.
At this point, he once again opened those eyes that could see through everything.
He was looking for a shortcut that would perfectly avoid all restrictions.
Navigating through the complex laws, Fang Yu quickly found an unobstructed path.
“Let’s dig in from here,” Fang Yu stopped at a position about eighty meters from the mountain’s base and said to Ye Shengxue.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s ears twitched slightly as he heard an extremely faint sound.
Fang Yu looked up.
Luo Teng, who had been tracking Fang Yu, immediately used a concealment technique to make himself transparent.
Generally, when both one’s aura and body were concealed, it was impossible to be discovered.
But what he didn’t expect was that Fang Yu’s eyes could see him clearly.
“Want to take advantage of my shortcut?”
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
