Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Before dawn, Chen Zong had already set off for the Thousand Forest Hall.
As soon as he set off, Chen Zong also felt a faint aura following him, as if they were following him. This was within his expectations.
After all, it was a Sealed World. There were often treasures in Sealed Worlds. Moreover, it was likely that there would be World Spirit Flames. For Saint Realm masters, World Spirit Flames were nothing. They couldn't directly increase their strength. Even if they couldn't obtain it, it was still a kind of capital and wealth.
If it was a World Spirit Flame, it would be amazing. Once it was refined, it would immediately increase one's strength.
Treasures moved people's hearts. Those who didn't bid for a spot naturally didn't want to let it go. Therefore, they kept an eye on those who obtained a spot to enter the Sealed World. When they moved, they would immediately chase after them.
Chen Zong didn't care too much about it. This was Heavenly Forest City. Heavenly Forest City was a city with good public security. It had clear and strict rules. No fighting was allowed in the city. Otherwise, the Heavenly Forest Iron Guards of Heavenly Forest City would let you know what regret was.
The City Lord of Heavenly Forest City was a powerful Late Saint Realm master. The Heavenly Forest Iron Guards were also very strong. They had many Saint Realm masters and many half-step Saint Realm masters. They were also good at battle formations. Their strength was very terrifying.
After entering Heavenly Forest City, one had to abide by the rules of Heavenly Forest City.
As long as it didn't violate the rules, Heavenly Forest City Lord's Mansion wouldn't care about what you did.
The Thousand Forest Hall was a very famous entertainment venue in Skyforest City. It was a place where one could spend money. Here, one could drink fine wine, see beautiful women, and bet fights that would make one's eyes turn red.
As soon as Chen Zong stepped into the Thousand Forest Hall, the token in his hand suddenly reacted and guided Chen Zong in the direction he should go.
The Thousand Forest Hall was very big and had many areas. It was like a maze. If one wasn't familiar with it or didn't have a guide, it was possible to get lost.
Following the token's guidance, Chen Zong stopped in front of a closed door after many twists and turns.
"Please come in." A gentle voice, like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, came from inside the door. Chen Zong pushed the door open and walked in. There were five figures inside, and their eyes all fell on Chen Zong's face.
The auras radiating from these five people were all at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, none of them weak.
The person who spoke was a young man. He had a warm smile on his face like a spring breeze, giving people a good impression of him.
And this person also seemed to be the leader.
"Please take a seat. I'll tell you in detail when the others arrive," the young man with a warm smile said to Chen Zong in a gentle tone.
Chen Zong sat down, but he didn't intend to greet the others. The other four also didn't intend to greet Chen Zong. They all lived in peace.
Time passed slowly, and the other five people arrived one after another, stepping into the room.
"Now that everyone is here, I will explain our trip to you." The young man still had a warm smile on his face, "First, I'll introduce myself. My name is Yang Lin, and my cultivation is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. However, my strength is more than double that of an ordinary peak Transcendent Realm master."
This kind of self-introduction made everyone feel a bit interested.
"As for my age and the Secret Art and Martial Art I cultivate, that's a secret, I believe everyone can understand." Yang Lin said jokingly, "The Sealed World we're going to enter is called the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb. It was left behind by an ancient master. I obtained the key to enter by chance and have entered it once before, but the dangers inside are too great for me to pass through on my own."
"However, according to what I know from exploring the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb, besides me, only ten people can enter."
"Including me, only eleven people have a chance of entering the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb and obtaining the treasures inside."
"But I can't just go out on the street and announce that I know of a Sealed World and that I can provide entry points, otherwise, I'll either be treated as a madman or captured alive by a master."
"Therefore, I've decided to auction off these entry points. Besides everyone here, no one else knows what I look like."
"Being able to bid for entry points at such a high price, I believe everyone here isn't ordinary. If we join forces, we'll be able to pass through the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb and obtain the treasures inside."
"Brother Yang Lin, is there a World Spirit Flame inside the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb?" A square-faced young man asked in a deep voice.
"According to my speculation, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that there is, but the probability of it being an Earth Spirit Flame is relatively high while the probability of it being a Heaven Spirit Flame is extremely low." Yang Lin responded seriously, immediately smiling, "What the auctioneer says at an auction is bound to be a bit exaggerated."
"Everyone, for this trip to the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb, I have a request." Yang Lin once again became serious, his eyes shining as he glanced at the crowd, "I need that World Spirit Flame, and I hope everyone can help me obtain it. As compensation, I will return all the upper-grade Primordial Stones you bid for, and I don't want any of the other treasures in the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb."
"If you agree, then you can set off afterwards. If you don't, please leave your tokens and I will return the Primordial Stones to you."
Immediately, everyone fell silent, as if they were thinking about something, weighing the pros and cons.
"Although I can't obtain the World Spirit Flame, I believe there should be other good treasures in the Yin Flame Ancient Tomb. Of course I'll go."
Not long after, some people expressed their opinions. Soon after, everyone expressed their opinions. They could give up the World Spirit Flame, but the other treasures would belong to them. As for how to distribute them, it was up to the ten of them to decide.
"Alright, thank you, everyone." Yang Lin heaved a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
However, although he agreed on the surface, who knew what he was thinking in his heart?
Chen Zong didn't say anything, quietly observing.
Yang Lin was very modest and amiable, but Chen Zong, who had comprehended the mystery of the Heart Sword, felt a little different. He vaguely felt that Yang Lin wasn't like this.
It seemed that this trip wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Before arriving here, everything was normal. However, after coming here and experiencing it with his own eyes, Chen Zong felt that this Yang Lin was somewhat fake. Moreover, this trip would be dangerous. This kind of danger wasn't the so-called danger of entering the Secret Territory, but something else.
After comprehending the mystery of the Heart Sword, Chen Zong's perception of danger had become even more profound.
Since there was danger, Chen Zong decided to withdraw.
Perhaps there would be some gains, but it could also be a conspiracy.
Combining all the previous conditions, every word Yang Lin said, and the feelings in the depths of his heart, Chen Zong decided to withdraw.
Although he had many trump cards, he couldn't be sure how dangerous it was.
Perhaps it was within his range of resistance. Combined with Yang Lin's words, the possibility wasn't small, but it could also be beyond his ability to resist.
In the world of cultivation, the more one cultivated, the higher one's cultivation, and the more one saw, the more one realized how insignificant one was.
The world was too big, and there were too many tricks. No one could understand everything.
Even a supreme expert could be injured or even killed because of a moment of carelessness.
Chen Zong's purpose was to go to the Zhenwu Upper Domain to gain experience. This so-called Secret Territory was just an experience on the way. He could have it or give it up.
Even if there really was a rare flame of heaven and earth, there was no need to take the risk of a conspiracy.
Danger existed in many places. Some dangers had to be taken, but some could be avoided if possible, especially if there was a conspiracy.
"Brother Yang Lin, I'll withdraw," Chen Zong quickly said after thinking about it.
Immediately, the other nine were stunned. The smile on Yang Lin's face froze in an instant. A cold and ferocious light flashed in the depths of his narrowed eyes. Then, he smiled again. "Friend, why are you withdrawing? Do you want the rare flame of heaven and earth too? "
"That's a bit difficult. After all, the rare flame of heaven and earth is what I need." Yang Lin seemed to be vexed as he muttered to himself, "Friend, how about I compensate you with a thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones?"
As he spoke, Yang Lin slowly walked forward. He raised his hands and spread out his ten slender fingers. In the next breath, his ten fingers bent and formed a handprint.
Suddenly, a cold and gloomy aura swept out. The tokens in everyone's hands released a mysterious and cold aura that wrapped around everyone in an instant.
It was too fast, faster than his reaction time.
Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. He immediately gathered his strength and was about to shatter the gloomy aura when he disappeared in an instant. Along with him, the other nine disappeared.
It was as if they had entered a dark place where they couldn't even see their own fingers. Their bodies fell uncontrollably as if they were about to fall into a bottomless abyss.
In the side room, Yang Lin opened his eyes, which were filled with coldness and ferocity. There was no smile on his face. "You want to withdraw? You almost made me fail. Damn it."
As he spoke, Yang Lin formed a handprint with his hands. His body faded and disappeared.
"His aura disappeared?"
"What's going on?"
There were many people lurking outside the side room, all of them paying attention to the situation. After all, they were very interested in the secret realm, especially the rare flame of heaven and earth.
Although they couldn't enter, they might be able to find the secret realm as long as they followed these people. When the time came, they could intercept and kill them.
They didn't expect the aura to disappear.
With a bang, the door was knocked open. There was no one inside.
"Gone?"
"Gone?"
"Where are they? Where did they go? "
"Did they come out?"
"No. The door hasn't opened since they entered."
These people were destined to never find any trace of the eleven people.
… …
It seemed like an instant, but it also seemed like a long time. The ten people stood on the ground one after another, surrounded by darkness. Then, faint green flames spread out and illuminated the surroundings. Everything was dyed in a layer of greenish gray, exuding an indescribable chill.
There were ten lamps, distributed on the walls in a regular pattern. The walls were also very strange, being in the shape of a decagon.
In other words, the ground under Chen Zong's group was decagonal. On each side of the wall, there were lamps four meters high that looked like will-o '-the-wisps.
It wasn't big, only about a hundred meters in radius and five meters in height.
"Where is this?"
"Is this the Yin Flame Tomb?"
"Where's Yang Lin?"
They spoke one after another and searched around.
