Only four people had the qualifications to stop Chuan Xinlou, Zhangkang Tianji, Qiao Jierui, Yi Jiufeng and Ning Cheng. The first three all obtained the golden chests and had not openly fallen out with Chuan Xinlou. Therefore, it was impossible for them to come out and stop Chuan Xinlou.
Ning Cheng also obtained the golden chest, which meant that he was the only cultivator who had fallen out with Chuan Xinlou. If anyone wanted to stop him, then only Ning Cheng could stand up and stop him. But since Ning Cheng didn't stand up, Chuan Xinlou obtained the Dao Fruit without any accident.
After Chuan Xinlou put away the Dao Fruit, he felt relieved in his heart. What worried him the most was that Ning Cheng would stand up and stop him. Just like Ning Cheng feared him, he also feared Ning Cheng. Now that Ning Cheng didn't stand up to stop him, he naturally felt relieved in his heart.
Of the five golden chests, four had already been opened, causing everyone to stare at Ning Cheng's golden chest.
Ning Cheng knew that he couldn't open the golden chest alone. Therefore, he had to open it in this place. The first four chests all contained top-quality treasures, which made Ning Cheng look forward to seeing what was inside his chest.
The chest opened, revealing a three-inch-tall black gourd inside. The gourd looked ordinary, and ordinary spiritual consciousness could easily sweep into it. It didn't have any dao charm, nor any aura, just an ordinary gourd.
"What is this?" This time, even Yi Jiufeng couldn't recognise the gourd in Ning Cheng's hand.
Ning Cheng reached out and grabbed the gourd. The gourd felt a bit cold, but his spiritual consciousness swept over the gourd a few times and didn't find any abnormalities. Turning the gourd upside down, he saw two words at the bottom of the gourd, 'Boundless'.
"I think this gourd is good. If Sect Master Ning doesn't want it, you can give it to me." Yi Jiufeng saw Ning Cheng's disappointment and immediately spoke up with a smile.
Ning Cheng unhurriedly put away the gourd and spoke, "Senior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix, if you want this gourd then you can give me that talisman, and then give me a branch of the Wind Thunder Apricot Tree, I will exchange it with you."
Yi Jiufeng giggled, but before she could speak, everyone heard a creaking sound coming from the middle of the hall.
Everyone in the hall quickly moved to the side, and soon, the originally plain pentagonal hall slowly opened up to the sides, revealing a dark public square under everyone's feet. Everyone stood at the five corners of the main hall and looked down. It was as if they were standing on a skyscraper and looking down at the ground below.
Under the dim light of the surroundings, the pitch-black square appeared gloomy and deep. The cold and gloomy aura constantly rushed up, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. From this pentagonal hall to the plaza below, there were no stairs, nor was there any place to borrow strength. Other than flying down, there was no other way.
Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness swept out at the bottom of the well in this pitch-black public square and realised that the Spiritual Consciousness in this place was sealed. Even with his Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness, his Spiritual Consciousness felt severely restricted. However, this was not a problem for him, whether he used the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds or directly jumped down, he would not suffer even half a point of injury.
"I'll go down and have a look." After Zhangkang Tianji said that, he jumped down without hesitation.
Zhangkang Tianji landed in the middle of the square below the grand hall, producing a loud rumble. Although he did not use any flying spells, Zhangkang Tianji jumped down from dozens of floors, but he was not hurt at all.
After Zhangkang Tianji jumped down, the rest of the people also followed suit. In fact, even if they could not use their Celestial Essence or Spiritual Consciousness, it would not cause any harm to these Eternal-level experts.
However, Ning Cheng knew that it was not a matter of the height of the building, but that this place was similar to the dry well he had encountered in the Time Wilderness. After jumping down, he found himself in a pit. Not only did it exceed the height of the building, but it also had a strong suction force.
"Kacha, Kacha ….." As everyone jumped down, five or six people's leg bones broke one after another.
Tang Yitang, Yang Yu, Shi Jinyu, and a few others had slightly weaker cultivation, so their leg bones all broke. However, for Eternal-level cultivators, breaking leg bones did not affect them at all. In just a few breaths, they would fully recover.
Ning Cheng was a body-forging expert with a Starry Sky Body. Therefore, he did not even use the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds to land on the public square.
Qiao Jierui looked at Ning Cheng and smiled, "No wonder Sect Master Ning could make Brother Levelled Heart stop. This body-forging strength might even surpass Brother Levelled Heart's."
Chuan Xinlou remained expressionless, as if he had not heard it at all. Ning Cheng spoke up in a calm voice, "I don't know if I'm stronger than Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, but I'm sure that I'm stronger than you."
Qiao Jierui gave a cold snort and no longer tried to incite discord.
The rest of the people did not pay any attention to Qiao Jierui's provocation. Everyone's attention was focused on the top of the public square. Above this dark public square, there was a paper door. Gusts of nether wind blew over the paper door, causing it to make a crashing sound.
Moreover, the paper door did not show any signs of breaking apart apart from the crashing sounds caused by the nether wind. Moreover, there were four words above the paper door, 'Hell's Gate'.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, a violent nether wind suddenly blew over the dark public square. At this moment, even Ning Cheng's subtle spiritual consciousness could not stretch out due to the violent nether wind.
The violent nether wind quickly swept towards the position where everyone stood. Under this wind, no one had any way to escape except for bringing out their weapons.
Ning Cheng immediately brought out his Everlasting Blue Thunder City, followed by Chuan Xinlou and the others bringing out their weapons. As for those with lower cultivation, because of the severe suppression on their spiritual consciousness, they couldn't even bring out their weapons in a hurry.
A few screams erupted, and Ning Cheng saw four or five people being swept away by the nether wind. Even if they were in the Eternal Realm, they couldn't stop this terrifying nether wind. As for where these four or five people ended up, no one knew.
The violent nether winds around the public square finally converged together. The two Eternal cultivators, who had not been swept away by the nether winds, turned into a pile of bones in an instant.
The nether winds came and went quickly. In just a dozen breaths, the nether winds that swept over the dark public square disappeared. However, half of the people on the public square had disappeared.
Tang Yitang, who came with Striking Order, Yang Yu, who came with Chuan Xinlou, Shi Jinyu, the handsome man behind Yi Jiufeng, Jinming Qianbo, Fu Yingkui, Shi Haoyan, Heavenly Emperor Wu Hong and a few others had all disappeared.
Only the four Starry Sky Emperors, Ning Cheng, Striking Order, Shen Mao, Mu Hao, Xun Zhihe and Gua Sangan remained on the public square. Some bones were piled up in the middle of the public square, but no one knew who left them behind.
Apart from Ning Cheng, who was in the Life and Death Realm, Striking Order and Gua Sangan had the lowest cultivation, middle-stage Eternal Realm. Although the two of them had escaped the disaster, their faces had turned ashen, and they looked embarrassed.
Even Starry Sky Emperor Xun Zhihe, a late-stage Eternal cultivator from Water Immortal Starry Sky, had an ugly expression on her face, and her hair and clothes looked disheveled.
"It looks like we should get out of here first. This place is too scary." Zhangkang Tianji said with a sigh.
"How do we get out? There is no way out of this place. "Yi Jiufeng's tone didn't sound good. She regretted jumping in.
Now that they were in this dark public square and their spiritual consciousness was restricted, it would be impossible to fly up again. After obtaining that treasure from the pentagonal hall and appearing in the plaza, no one was willing to be left behind. Otherwise, with everyone's cautiousness, how could they all jump down?
Yi Jiufeng's voice had just fallen when a burst of whimpering sounds rang out around the public square. Everyone knew that the horrifying nether wind would sweep over once again.
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor came to Ning Cheng's side with some fear, "Brother Ning, I'm afraid I can't escape this second wave of nether wind ….."
Ning Cheng understood Striking Order's meaning and nodded, "Brother Striking Order, you don't have to worry. My Thunder City still has some use. Brother Striking Order can stay behind me."
Gua Sangan quickly arrived behind Chuan Xinlou on seeing this. This was not the time to care about face. If they got caught in this nether wind, they would definitely die. If they got swept up by this nether wind, they would either end up in a pile of bones or end up as skeletons.
Xun Zhihe looked at Ning Cheng's side with envy. In this place, the best weapon to block the nether wind was naturally Ning Cheng's Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. Next was Chuan Xinlou's Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda. However, she didn't have any friendship with Ning Cheng, so she could only rely on her own strength to resist it.
The whimpering nether wind blew over again, and this time, it even took on a substantial form. This was the first time Ning Cheng had seen a substantial wind, and it was a nether wind at that.
"Whimpering" sounds erupted. Even if Ning Cheng brought out the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort, which had a suppressive effect on the nether wind, he still felt uncomfortable all over. It felt as if his mind was about to leave his body, and this kind of feeling kept surging up in his mind.
Ning Cheng secretly felt horrified in his heart. No wonder even those Eternal-level experts got swept away by the nether wind. It wasn't just that one couldn't block this terrifying nether wind, but once one got swept up by this nether wind, one's essence spirit would immediately dissipate. With one's essence spirit dissipating, coupled with the suppression of one's spiritual consciousness and cultivation, it would be a wonder if anything good could happen in the end.
Blue lightning flashed within the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort. After the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort blocked the nether wind, the lightning arcs once again bombarded it and quickly swept it away from Ning Cheng's side.
Ning Cheng had just breathed in a sigh of relief when he heard Gua Sangan scream, "Piercing Heart ….."
Gua Sangan only managed to call out two words before his voice abruptly stopped. Apparently, the nether wind had swept him away. Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness was the most powerful in this place. Therefore, he could clearly see Chuan Xinlou pushing Gua Sangan. After a dozen breaths, the nether wind finally calmed down, and another person disappeared.
Gua Sangan had disappeared, and Ning Cheng saw him being swept away by the nether wind with his own eyes. Ning Cheng's face remained calm. He knew that when Gua Sangan was swept away by the nether wind, not only did Chuan Xinlou not save him, but Chuan Xinlou also plotted against him from behind.
Gua Sangan was Chuan Xinlou's little brother. Even if Chuan Xinlou obtained the Dao Fruit, it was only because of Gua Sangan's suggestion that he had the chance. It stood to reason that Chuan Xinlou had to save Gua Sangan. But in fact, not only did Chuan Xinlou not save Gua Sangan, but he also pushed Gua Sangan.
