Blood-curdling screams rang out one after another. Everyone's excitement had been completely extinguished by the blood-curdling screams. Those who weren't trapped by the talisman arrays kept retreating, their faces pale as they whispered to each other.
The thousands of talisman arrays activated by the cultivators of various races were only the first line of defense in the Sky Expanse Sect's mystic realm. Of course, it was also the most numerous. After passing through the first line of defense, there would be more talisman arrays in the depths of the mystic realm.
According to the Supreme Deity Sect's speculation, the entire Sky Expanse Sect's mystic realm was enveloped by layers of defensive talisman arrays from the outside to the inside, all the way to the entrance of the Sky Expanse Sect. Only by breaking through these layers of defensive talisman arrays would one have the opportunity to enter the Sky Expanse Sect and obtain the inheritance and treasures left behind by the Sky Expanse Sect.
Just as everyone was scared out of their wits, Xiao Chen, Sharjah, and the others entered the Sky Expanse Sect's sacred ground through the passageway. As everyone entered, the entrance to the Sky Expanse Sect's sacred ground was closed. The talisman that Ke Suo had used to open the entrance had also disappeared. Obviously, the talisman key to open the entrance was a one-time use item.
After the entrance disappeared, everyone had no way to leave the Sky Expanse Sect's mystic realm. The cultivators of various races, who were already terrified, were at a loss as to what to do. All of them looked at Xiao Chen, Ke Suo, and the other Saints and Saintesses of the two great quasi-sage sects.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Chen glanced at the cultivators of various races who were trapped by the talisman arrays not far away. Although there were still some people who were persevering, most of them had already been killed by the talisman arrays.
In almost an instant, tens of thousands of lives had been taken away by the thousands of talisman arrays.
It would be a lie if Xiao Chen said that he didn't feel sad about the cultivators of various races who had been killed by the first wave of talisman arrays. After all, those were all lives.
However, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to save them. Xiao Chen simply couldn't save them. Xiao Chen himself wasn't a savior. In Xiao Chen's heart, it was enough as long as he could protect the people around him. Although it was selfish, it was very realistic.
Xiao Chen was not like those who always talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. All this time, Xiao Chen only wanted to make a better life for himself and the people around him. As for others, he could help if he had the ability, but if he did not have the ability, Xiao Chen would not force himself to do so. After all, Xiao Chen did not have the ability to save the world right now.
Incessant screams resounded in everyone's ears. Under the gazes of countless pairs of eyes, Ke Suo stood up and spoke in a clear voice to the martial artists of various races who were not trapped by the array but had been scared out of their wits.
"Everyone, the Saint Realm's mystic realm is inherently dangerous. Naturally, you'll have to go through a test after entering it. I'd like to remind everyone that you still need to be careful here. Of course, whether or not you can obtain the Saint's inheritance will depend on your own ability and luck. Without further ado, we'll take our leave first."
With that, Ke Suo, Sharjah, and the other Supreme Divine Sect's Saints and Prospective Saints took their leave first. Seeing this, Xiao Chen and the others followed closely behind.
Seeing the Saints of the two great quasi-sage sects take the lead and walk into the depths of the mystic realm, everyone quickly regained their senses and kept recalling Ke Suo's words.
"That's right. How can the Saint's inheritance be obtained so easily? It's normal for there to be a test. This time, I must obtain the Saint's inheritance," a Ghost Clan cultivator said fiercely and immediately walked into the depths of the mystic realm.
With the first person taking action, a second and third person quickly followed suit. Gradually, everyone walked into the depths of the mystic realm. However, compared to the beginning, everyone's actions were clearly much more cautious.
If one wanted to obtain the Saint's inheritance, they naturally had to go through hardships and dangers. It was understandable that there would be danger. If they didn't even dare to face this little bit of danger, there was no need to talk about the Saint's inheritance. In addition, the Saints of the two great quasi-sage sects had already entered the depths of the mystic realm. As such, under the lead of Ke Suo, Xiao Chen, and the other Saints, everyone gathered their courage and headed into the depths of the mystic realm.
However, no one knew that Xiao Chen and the others actually didn't enter the mystic realm at all. Instead, under Ke Suo's lead, they came to a mountain peak and quietly watched everyone continue to enter the mystic realm.
Currently, the role of the cannon fodder had yet to be played. Only a portion of the many talisman arrays had been activated. At this time, Xiao Chen, Ke Suo, and the others naturally couldn't rashly enter the mystic realm. Their departure was only to give everyone the courage to continue moving forward.
Xiao Chen sighed softly as he looked at the cultivators from various clans who were rushing forward again. At the same time, Sharjah came to Xiao Chen's side and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Brother Xiao Chen, there are some things that I think we can talk about openly and honestly."
Sharjah took the initiative to say this. Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked deeply at him and said calmly, "Then let's talk. It just so happens that I also have many doubts that I would like your Supreme Deity Sect to explain."
With that, Xiao Chen called Chen Ling, Long Qing, and Qin Shuirou to sit together.
They sat facing each other and looked at Sharjah, Ke Suo, and Jia Lingya. At this time, Sharjah spoke unhurriedly.
"Brother Xiao Chen, actually, there are some inside stories about this whole matter. This Sky Expanse Sect's mystic realm doesn't only have one entrance. There are a total of three entrances. One of them is in the Tai Shen Continent, which is the entrance that we just passed through."
"As for the other two entrances, one is in the Hei Ye Continent, and the other is in the Wasteland Continent …"
He slowly explained the whole matter to Xiao Chen and the others. This time, Sharjah didn't hide anything and truthfully told Xiao Chen and the others everything.
From the beginning of the Supreme Deity Sect's plan to now that everyone was completely tied to the same boat, Sharjah told Xiao Chen and the others everything bluntly.
At this point, everyone had already entered the Sky Expanse Sect's mystic realm and the entrance was already closed. There was no way out, so naturally, there was no need to hide anything. Moreover, for the sake of future cooperation, Sharjah had to tell Xiao Chen and the others the truth.
After all, they still had to deal with the Night Ghost Pavilion and Liwang Sect's Holy Sons and Holy Daughters together.
Xiao Chen briefly recounted the matter. After hearing Sharjah's words, Long Qing, who was sitting beside Xiao Chen, immediately roared furiously.
"So, your Supreme Deity Sect has tricked us? Good, very good. Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. "
Clearly, Long Qing was very angry at being used by the Supreme Deity Sect. She was about to attack, but at this time, Xiao Chen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Second Sister, wait a moment."
