He only knew the general location of the folded space from the bronze mask's painting. He had no idea what lay within the folded space or whether it was dangerous or not.
Since the Otherworldly Demons were intending to enter the folded space first, it would be a good opportunity for them to scout the path ahead. At the very most, he could just make a move at the very last moment. As long as they were not Ancient Sages, he was confident that he would be able to kill or even capture them.
"Where is it?"
While they did not make a move, the four Otherworldly Demons were also scanning their surroundings, seemingly trying to pinpoint the location of the folded space.
"Allow me to take a look!"
A frail-looking young man stepped forward and tapped his finger lightly. A book materialized in the air, emanating a faint blue glow.
"It looks similar to the one you have in your hand …"
Upon seeing the book, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the young lady beside him.
The book was identical to the one she had obtained from the Qiu Wu Palace.
It seemed like Zhang Xuan was right. If she could find a fortuitous encounter, so could the other party.
It was no wonder the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had been able to suppress mankind to the point where they were unable to retaliate until Kong Shi appeared.
After all, not even Mingshi Tang had been able to find such a book on the Celestial Amulet of Legacy, and yet, they had managed to obtain it.
Weng!
The book flew slowly, sweeping through the entire mountain peak. Suddenly, it shook fiercely, releasing a light cry, and stopped.
"It's here!"
The frail-looking young man nodded.
"Un."
The young man who had issued the first command had a fair and clean face, and he carried a slight air of a scholar about him. He was vastly different from the Otherworldly Demons that Zhang Xuan had seen before. If not for the fact that he had appeared here, Zhang Xuan would have never imagined that he would actually make a move on Zhao Ya and the others.
They had long heard that Otherworldly Demon Emperors were adept at disguising themselves as humans, such that even master teachers would find it difficult to discern them.
"Open!"
The fair young man took a step forward and flicked his fingers. A powerful surge of energy surged into the folded space that the book had found earlier.
Jiyaya!
A piercing sound echoed in the air. Following which, an average-sized door of light appeared before the crowd. The energy within the door revolved ceaselessly, leading to some unknown place.
The fair young man did not rush in. Instead, he turned to the crowd and cautioned, "Everyone, be careful. This was left behind by Ancient Sage Ran Qiu. We must be extremely careful!"
The others nodded in unison.
"Ancient Sage Ran Qiu?" Zhang Xuan took in a deep breath.
The 72 direct disciples of Kong Shi were also known as the "72 Sages".
The ten strongest experts were known as the 'Ten Sages', and Ancient Sage Ran Qiu was one of them. He was ranked alongside Ancient Sage Bo Shang, and in terms of strength, he was even stronger than Ancient Sage Bo Shang. He was known as the strongest of the Ten Sages.
Back then, in the war against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, he had charged into the midst of the enemy with a single spear in hand. With just a single spear, he had slain countless Otherworldly Demon Emperors.
The Combat Master Hall was founded by him!
If this place was left behind by him, it would probably be filled with calamities.
"Let's go!"
After saying those words, the scholarly young man turned around and walked into the door of light. With a burst of energy, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
The remaining three followed closely behind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go in too!"
Seeing that they had entered, Zhang Xuan was just about to tear open his concealment and follow them. However, before he could walk out, Lozosy grabbed his arm.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned upon him. "You mean that … they have noticed us?"
"That might not necessarily be the case, but it's still best for us to be careful!"
Luo Ruoxin did not say anything else.
After waiting for around half a tea's time, the door of light suddenly shook, and the scholarly young man walked out. He scanned his surroundings carefully, but he did not notice anything amiss. Heaving a sigh of relief, he walked into the door once more. This time, the door of light did not last for too long before it dissipated.
"Those fellows sure are cautious. They were actually hiding behind the door. If we had gone in earlier, we would have been ambushed and attacked!"
Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
He had always been the one scheming against others, but who could have thought that if not for Lozosy pulling him back, he would have fallen into their trap!
Even if he had activated Kong Shi's Blood Droplet, making him invincible beneath Ancient Sage, it would have been difficult for him to escape from the encirclement of four experts.
The Otherworldly Demons were indeed cunning!
"Humph, how dare you play with me? If I don't toy with you to death, my name isn't Zhang Xuan!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly with narrowed eyes.
Back then, he was still able to toy with all of the experts of the Qingtian Clan. Now that he had reached Saint 9-dan pinnacle and possessed Kong Shi's Blood Droplet, there was no way he would allow himself to be taken advantage of.
"Let's go in!"
After removing the concealing seals around them, Luo Ruoxin arrived at the place where they had disappeared.
Taking a step forward, the adolescent boy, Wu Chen, took a deep breath, opened his palm, and pressed it downward.
Weng!
Just like what the scholarly young man had done earlier, he infused his zhenqi into the empty space, and a door of light slowly appeared.
After that was done, the adolescent boy stepped into the door of light.
Zhang Xuan and Lozosy glanced at one another before walking in as well.
With a light buzz, Zhang Xuan appeared in the midst of a vast grassland. The sky was clear, and the air was clear. At a glance, it felt as if he had been teleported to another place. It was impossible to tell that he had entered a folded space.
"This folded space is really stable!"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed in astonishment.
Ordinary folded spaces, even the Qiu Wu Palace, were extremely crude. If one were to exert too much force, it could easily cause a collapse. On the other hand, this folded space was extraordinarily stable. If not for the fact that Zhang Xuan had known about it beforehand, he would have thought that he had really walked into it.
"The more stable a folded space is, the more dangerous it is. Let me take a look and see where they have gone first. The path that they have taken should be much safer!"
The adolescent boy, Wu Chen, said as he clasped his fist.
Lozosy nodded in agreement.
Wu Chen scanned his surroundings, and a glint flashed across his eyes. The frown on his forehead grew deeper and deeper.
"This place is extremely dangerous. There are formations and spatial rifts everywhere, and the slightest mistake could lead to us falling into one of them. We have to …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to remind them to be careful, the young man by the side suddenly stepped forward with widened strides.
As he walked, he beckoned to them, "Hurry up and follow me. This way …"
"You …" Not expecting the other party to be so reckless, Wu Chen was infuriated. "This place is too dangerous! Even I didn't find any traces of the other party's movements, and yet, you are barging right in …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to rush forward to grab the other party, he saw the young lady following behind him without saying a word.
"Young Mistress, it's dangerous …"
Wu Chen hurriedly exclaimed.
It was one thing for Zhang Xuan to be so weak that he didn't know what was going on, but why was the young mistress acting so recklessly as well?
"He has the Eye of Insight. Just follow him!"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, the young mistress' voice sounded.
"Eye of Insight? The Eye of Insight that allows one to see through all falsehoods? "
Hearing those words, Wu Chen's body swayed uncontrollably.
The Eye of Insight and the control of space … Is he the expert here, or am I the expert here?
Why does it feel like … as an expert, I don't feel any sense of superiority at all before the other party?
