"This place is a bit weird!"
Ye Chen looked around and said.
"Weird … I can't tell. This is indeed the entrance to an ancient ruin." Murong Qingcheng shook her head. She really couldn't tell anything.
"Don't you feel that this place doesn't have the feeling of being sealed for a long time? It seems like people come here often and destroy the ancient qi here."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Murong Qingcheng looked pensive. She was not as meticulous as Ye Chen, but she was not stupid either.
"Once there is any movement, we will leave immediately."
Ye Chen said with a serious tone.
"Yeah!"
Murong Qingcheng nodded and carefully walked beside Ye Chen.
"Everyone, follow behind me. Don't break the formation." The gray-haired man's voice was heard from the front.
"Aren't we looking for the ancient ruin? Now that we have found it, why are we not going back? "
Someone mumbled.
The top master level warrior next to the gray-haired man said coldly, "If you don't want to, you can go back now. I won't stop you."
"Just saying."
The person who was talking shut his mouth immediately.
The ancient ruin was huge. First, there was a stone hall, and then a straight tunnel. Oil lamps were lit on both sides of the tunnel, as if they were paving the way for the group. After fifteen minutes, the group finally passed through the tunnel and arrived at a wide flat ground.
In front of the flat ground was a huge stone door, and in the center of the flat ground was a six-pointed star. Inside the six-pointed star, there were many complicated runes. These runes were not for decoration, they were filled with traces of energy aura, and from time to time, streams of light would flash through.
Boom!
All of a sudden …
A gate fell down from the tunnel behind the group, locking them inside.
"What is going on?"
"What happened?"
"Damn it! We are locked inside!"
The situation happened too suddenly. Many people were still in a state of confusion, but more people were panicking. They were 180,000 meters under the sea. No one wanted to be trapped here and unable to get out, especially when they were fine just now.
"Damn it! Isn't it just a gate? What is there to be surprised about? Watch me break it! "
A master level Sea of Souls Realm walked out. He raised his right hand and tightened his fist. All of a sudden, a red flame wrapped around his fist before he smashed it heavily onto the gate.
Pa!
The gate did not move at all. Not even a single stone chip splashed out.
"What?"
This Sea of Souls Realm master level warrior did not believe it, so he attacked the gate crazily. His fiery red fist shadows were like illusions, landing on the center of the gate.
"Everyone, attack together!"
Seeing that they couldn't break the gate, someone called for everyone to attack together.
"One, two, three, attack!"
Boom boom boom!
Over a hundred attacks landed on the gate, and the gate finally shook a little, causing some dust to fall off. Unfortunately, it was still far from breaking the gate.
"Get out of my way."
The fierce-looking man parted the crowd and walked out.
"Can you do it alone?"
Some people were puzzled.
"Let him do it. Although we have a lot of attacks, many of our unique martial arts have been scattered by other Zhen Yuan streams, so we can't display our full power."
"I see! I had forgotten about it."
Understanding the crux of the matter, everyone's gazes converged on the fiendish man. Among them, there were only three half-step Kings, and the fiendish man was one of them. Although they didn't know the fiendish man's strength, it shouldn't be too bad. A half-step King was a half-step King after all.
Standing in front of the gate with rapt attention, the fierce-looking man took a deep breath. As he inhaled, the surrounding space began to distort slightly. Clouds of light black air gushed out, and his aura rose steadily, reaching a terrifying level.
"Break!"
The man roared as he threw out a palm blade attack toward the gate.
Boom!
The frequency of the gate shaking was obviously much higher than before. Dust was blown out from the corner, blocking everyone's sight.
"So sturdy!"
The man's expression changed.
"Let's join hands!"
Dongfang Hao could not stand it anymore, so he stood next to the man.
"If it could be broken, we would not have been lured here." Ye Chen shook his head as he glanced over at the man with gray hair and the other two.
The man with gray hair was very sensitive to gazes, so he turned his head to look for the source of the gaze.
However, Ye Chen had already looked away.
"Mad Wave Cut!"
"Cracking Ground Attack!"
The man and Dongfang Hao performed their top martial arts, attacking the gate together.
Dong!
The gate shook violently, and cracks started to appear on it.
"It is about to break!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Let's do it again."
Dongfang Hao said to the man.
"Alright!"
The man was in a good mood. As long as he could break this gate, he would be able to get out.
"Huh!"
The man with gray hair sneered secretly, seeming to be very disdainful of everyone thinking that they could break the gate.
"How is this possible?"
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the fiendish man and Dongfang Hao's combined attacks didn't even have the qualifications to make the gate shake. It turned out that the gate was emitting a layer of dark light that bounced off the attacks and instantly acted on Dongfang Hao and the fiendish man.
Pooh!
Pooh!
Caught off guard, Dongfang Hao and the man both puked out a mouthful of blood and were blown backward. Their feet rubbed against the ground for a long time before stopping.
"How can this be broken?"
Dongfang Hao's expression was ugly.
Exhaling, Ye Chen said, "Don't waste your energy, you two. Since we've been lured here, there's no way we can escape."
"What do you mean?"
Dongfang Hao stared at Ye Chen with a sharp gaze.
Ye Chen said, "Do you really think that we're trapped here because of the relic's mechanism and not someone else's doing?"
"You're saying that someone brought us here on purpose?"
The man came to a realization.
"We'll have to ask him."
Ye Chen pointed at the gray-haired man.
"Insolence!"
"You're courting death."
The two men beside the gray-haired man rebuked Ye Chen.
Ye Chen sneered. "Since you've brought us here, you've succeeded. Why don't you take off your mask?"
"Haha!"
The gray-haired man guffawed, his laughter filled with pride and admiration.
"I didn't expect you to be so meticulous. How did you figure it out?" The gray-haired man asked.
"I only suspected at first, but as soon as we entered the relic, I began to suspect you."
"Oh, why didn't you run then?"
"Everyone is curious. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Plus, I thought running would've been useless. You guys must've had a backup plan."
"You're right. The moment you stepped into the relic, you couldn't get out. Bringing you here was the second step.
I have to admire you. You were the only one who noticed the anomaly among so many people. The others kept it to themselves. Even if they had suspicions, they wouldn't have targeted me. So, strength isn't everything. Your ability to survive is stronger than everyone else's. "
The gray-haired man admired Ye Chen. Of course, he didn't know Ye Chen's strength yet, thinking that Ye Chen was merely meticulous.
"No need to admire me. In fact, I should admire your Blackwater Alliance. With such a grand plan, it's obvious that you want to capture everyone in one fell swoop. If I'm not wrong, your plan has something to do with Devouring Island. Am I right?"
Ye Chen smiled.
Hiss!
Not only the gray-haired man, even the two people next to him sucked in a breath of cold air. With just a few clues, Ye Chen was able to figure out their plan. This could not be described as meticulous; it was simply frightening.
"Is what he said true?"
The ferocious-looking man's face was filled with killing intent.
"Ridiculous. You're still asking me now."
The gray-haired man sneered.
"You're courting death. I'll tear you apart."
The ferocious-looking man wasn't a good person. He had always been the one making fun of others. Since when did he become the one being made fun of? This made him feel very wronged.
Boom!
His right hand formed a blade, and a light black saw appeared on the edge of his palm. The ferocious-looking man slashed at the gray-haired man and the two top master level masters.
Boom!
That attack was blocked out by a layer of blue membrane. The ground under the gray-haired man and the other two moved automatically, bringing them into the wall. The gap in the wall was a blue membrane. It seemed like even ten half step king warriors wouldn't be able to break it open. The gray-haired man and the other two could see Ye Chen and the rest through the blue membrane, and Ye Chen and the rest could see them as well.
"You think that I'll give you the chance to attack me?"
The gray-haired man said with a mocking expression.
"F * ck your ancestors!"
The fierce-looking man repeatedly attacked the blue membrane, causing it to ripple like water. Unfortunately, the defensive power of the blue membrane was far beyond imagination. No matter how much strength the fierce-looking man exerted, he couldn't shake it in the slightest. It was all in vain.
"Everyone, let's go!"
After everyone knew that the gray-haired man and the Blackwater Alliance were the masterminds, they were all furious. All of them wanted to eat the three alive. Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tide-like energy flooded the thin blue membrane like a vast ocean.
Dongfang Hao and Meng Xiaoling had also joined in the attack. Only Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng stood aside and did not do anything, watching coldly.
After a long while, the qi disappeared, and the blue membrane was not damaged at all.
"It's useless. Since you're here, don't waste your time."
Ye Chen said calmly.
"Since you already knew, why didn't you tell us? I, Tu the third, will teach you how to behave. I will also keep your girlfriend safe for you."
The ferocious-looking man, Tu Laosan, had a belly full of anger. Since he could not do anything to the gray-haired man, he shifted his attention to Ye Chen. Right then and there, he was ready to kill Ye Chen and have some fun before the disaster came.
As he spoke, an evil smile appeared on his face, as if Murong Qingcheng was already his, and there would be no accidents.
"Seeking death."
A murderous look flashed across Dongfang Hao's eyes, but he quickly hid it. He was happy that Tu the third would kill Ye Chen. After Ye Chen was killed, he would be able to openly save Murong Qingcheng, killing two birds with one stone. "It seems like you want to die."
Ye Chen's expression turned cold. The murderous look on his face was a few times more intense than Tu the third's. Many people around him hurriedly took a few steps back, shocked by Ye Chen's murderous look.
