"What's going on here?" Chen Zhao asked, confused. "It doesn't feel like a place for people to live or for these kids to train."
"You still don't understand?" Byfla glanced at Chen Zhao.
"Understand what?"
"Theodosius I's tomb is the same. This place is the same. It's not for the participants of the Battle of Holy Glory. It's a trap."
"Trap?"
"Put yourself in their shoes and you'll understand. If it were you, would you set up such a difficult and dangerous trial for your subordinates?" Byfla asked.
"This trap is for us?" Chen Zhao suddenly realized something.
"You're thinking too much. The two of us just stumbled into this place by accident. This trap is probably targeted at the three chairmen. Normally, only spiritualists at the level of the three chairmen would be able to break a trap of this difficulty."
"I don't know that Wende," Chen Zhao said. "But Zhang Tianyi and 23rd Blood Mary are both strong. This trap can't stop them."
Of the three Shang Qing Realm cultivators that Chen Zhao knew, Zhang Tianyi was undoubtedly the strongest.
23rd Blood Mary was second. Byfla was a new Shang Qing Realm cultivator. He should be the weakest.
Ignoring the latter two, Zhang Tianyi was the one Chen Zhao couldn't figure out the most.
Chen Zhao was confident that he wouldn't lose to Zhang Tianyi.
But he really wasn't confident that he could defeat Zhang Tianyi.
The old man was really unfathomable.
Even though Chen Zhao had the power of a demon lord.
But when he faced Zhang Tianyi, he always felt uncertain.
He didn't even want to stand on the opposite side of Zhang.
Chen Zhao didn't know if this was his fear of Zhang.
Or if Zhang had some kind of power that was controlling his heart?
Anyway, Chen Zhao felt that offending Zhang was really troublesome.
Even in the past, Chen Zhao often dissed Zhang.
But Chen Zhao had never truly stood on the opposite side of Zhang.
Indeed, Chen Zhao had powerful and mysterious power.
But Zhang also had a peerless orthodoxy.
The accumulated wisdom of thousands of years had made Zhang Tianyi.
Chen Zhao had estimated the difference in power between him and Zhang.
The most optimistic outcome was that no one could do anything to the other.
Naturally, Chen Zhao thought that since the trap didn't work on him, it wouldn't work on Mr. Zhang either.
Moreover, it was still far from being effective or threatening.
"This trap isn't meant to threaten the three chairmen, nor is it meant to harm them. Instead, it's meant to borrow their power to solve something," Byfla said.
"His soul is in the mausoleum of Theodosius I?"
"No, Theodosius' soul should be guarding something, maybe a demon or something else, and we killed Theodosius."
"It was not us, but you. It was you who killed Theodosius."
"Is there a difference?" asked Byfla calmly.
"But then again, since we know that if we destroy something here, something will be released, is there a need for us to continue?"
"Aren't you curious at all?"
"It's one thing to be curious, but what if we release a big problem?"
"As you Chinese say, even if the sky falls, there'll be tall people to hold it up."
"Don't forget that you and I are both tall people here. If there's really a big problem, it'll probably be the two of us who clean up the mess."
"Fine, you make the choice. Should we stop them now?"
Chen Zhao thought about it and said unkindly, "I can only promise that I won't attack from now on."
The further they walked, the wider their field of vision became.
More and more puppets were destroyed on the ground.
As they walked further, they saw Ruick Dess fighting a huge puppet.
The puppet wasn't a regular human shape.
It didn't have any regular forms. Instead, it kept changing.
Every time Ruick Dess attacked and destroyed it, it would change locally.
The huge puppet was immune to most spells, so this battle was very troublesome for Ruick Dess.
The spells that could be effective were directional or regional spells that could directly cause damage.
This was also Ruic Des's weakest point.
Nevertheless, Ruick Dess clearly still had some strength left.
This battle didn't have any other details. It was the most direct display of combat power.
If he wasn't strong enough, he couldn't win. If he was strong enough, he could pass.
The most nervous person at the scene was undoubtedly Mado Xinji.
Right now, Ruick Dess was the most important person to her.
He was also her mentor in her new life. In fact, they were even closer than mentors.
In the end, Ruick Dess still defeated the huge puppet after a tough battle.
Not only that, Ruick Dess even controlled the puppet and turned it into his weapon.
Mado Xinji heaved a long sigh of relief.
She turned her head to look for Chen Zhao and Byfla.
But where were they? Where did they go?
She couldn't find Chen Zhao anywhere. She immediately guessed that they'd escaped.
As a loyal lackey of Ruick Dess, Maduo Xinji of course immediately went to Ruick Dess to snitch on him.
"Mr. Dess, the two traitors escaped."
"Escaped?" Ruick Dess looked back for Chen Zhao and Byfla. As expected, they'd disappeared.
Escaped now? Ruick Dess was somewhat suspicious.
Did they not want the last item?
Or perhaps, they were just hiding?
After a moment of silence, Ruick Dess yelled, "Come out! I know you're still here. Don't think you can fool me like this."
But Chen Zhao and Byfla still didn't appear.
Had they really left?
Did they feel that they couldn't defeat him, so they left?
That must be it …
Ruick Dess was still very confident in his own strength.
He could easily defeat such a powerful huge puppet.
Moreover, the puppet had become his weapon.
Chen Zhao and Byfla must have seen this and realized that they couldn't defeat him, so they'd escaped secretly.
"That old man's strong, but he's a bit too arrogant," Chen Zhao said.
"That's because he hasn't compared himself with a real expert. In his mind, the only people stronger than him are people like Celestial Master Zhang, but he doesn't know how much stronger Celestial Master Zhang is."
"Can he pass all the checkpoints alone?"
"Probably. After all, he hasn't used his true strength yet."
