Rumble …
Even the sound of the explosion was muffled. It was as if their ears were stuffed with cotton. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
The explosion completely engulfed the south of the castle. The huge mist even engulfed the entire castle. However, at this moment, countless figures flew out from the mist. Without a doubt, they were the people from the two Ancient Clans!
These people did not have any formation at all. It was as if they were hit by the force. Among the countless figures that retreated, Li Yin's voice could be heard.
"Retreat!!"
After hearing the order, these people fled with all their might. They did not even look back. The mist created by the explosion dissipated quickly. It was so fast that it was shocking. The moment the mist completely disappeared, the people from the two Ancient Clans had also fled thousands of feet away.
Fortunately, all 40 of them escaped. None of them sank into the mist.
"Phew! Phew! "
"What kind of force is this?! This is too strange! "
"As soon as I entered, I felt like my neck was being strangled. I lost all my strength. I felt like I would die if I stayed any longer!"
"…"
All of the elders were gasping for breath. Many of them were discussing among themselves, their hearts still filled with lingering fear. After entering once, to be honest, they did not have the courage to go in again. It was as if they would die if they stayed any longer!
Looking at these people, Lu An's expression turned solemn. It could not be helped. Just like the Nine Heavens Sacred Fire could burn the power of others and the Deep Ice could freeze the power, the Death Energy was even more so. Even if they used the Life Wheel as a defense to support the space, the Death Energy would still forcibly penetrate. This was a complete suppression of attributes.
Li Yin and Yan Che looked very pale. After taking a few deep breaths, Li Yin turned to Lu An and asked solemnly, "Chief Lu, this castle is not a joke. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Of course." Lu An answered without hesitation. However, he looked at Yao and said, "I'll go by myself. Wait for me here."
"No." Yao was stunned. She looked up at Lu An and said in a serious tone, "I'll go with you."
"But it's dangerous inside." Lu An said worriedly, "You know it won't affect me."
"I'll be fine too." Yao Yao's gentle face was filled with determination. She looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes and said, "If something really happens, I won't force myself and will leave immediately."
Looking at Yao's determination, Lu An's heart trembled slightly. If he really forced Yao to stay, with Yao's personality, she would still listen to him. However, he knew that Yao had always wanted to help him do more things, and Yao truly wished for it from the bottom of her heart.
"Alright." After two breaths, Lu An loosened his mouth and said, "Don't force yourself."
Yao Xin revealed a warm smile and said, "Don't worry, husband!"
Looking at Yao Yao's sweet smile, the forty Heavenly Masters from the two clans were all dumbfounded. It was the same for both men and women. They felt that this smile was very healing … It was as if the weakness in their bodies had been reduced by more than half!
"Elder Li, Yan Jianmu, let's go," Lu An said to the two of them.
"Ah, okay!" Li Yin came back to his senses and said, "You must be careful and protect yourself!"
Yan Che nodded as well. No matter if it was for public or private reasons, the two of them did not wish for anything to happen to Lu An And Yao.
Lu An And Yao looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they immediately moved. Their figures instantly rushed forward, rushing towards the castle!
The instant they moved, the bodies of the forty Heavenly Masters from the two clans trembled. Even the weak ones immediately straightened their bodies and turned their heads to stare at the two figures.
Even forty people could barely rush to the front of the castle gate. What could the two of them do? They probably could not even make it halfway, right?
However …
Whoosh!
Lu An And Yao's speed could not be considered fast, but it was definitely not slow either. The two figures did not stop in the slightest, and did not even slow down in the slightest. They directly rushed to the front of the castle gate!
Immediately, the forty Heavenly Masters were all stunned, dumbstruck!
Including Li Yin and Yan Che, the forty Heavenly Masters were completely dumbfounded as they watched this scene with their mouths agape!
How was this possible?!
They looked at the man and woman standing in front of the castle. The two of them were moving calmly and standing straight, as if they were not affected at all!
How could this be?! Could it be that they could not feel the enormous pressure outside the castle?
No, in fact, both of them could feel it.
The power of death outside the castle was real. Even Lu An had to endure a huge amount of pressure. This kind of pressure directly suppressed his strength to the level of an early-stage Level Eight Heavenly Master, which was equivalent to a Level Eight Heavenly Master. However, it was fortunate that this was purely a suppression of strength. The attribute of the strength did not affect him at all. It was just like how he was suppressed by the powerful Deep Ice, but the cold air did not affect him at all.
However, it was different for Yao.
Not only did Yao have to endure the pressure of strength, she also had to endure the pressure of the attribute. The Power of Death and Immortal Qi were like fire and water. Yao could not be at a disadvantage in terms of attribute, but she had to constantly release her own strength to fight against it. In other words, she had to constantly consume her Immortal Qi.
"How is it?" Lu An immediately asked, "Are there any problems?"
"It's alright. The consumption is negligible." After sensing it seriously, Yao said truthfully, "This Power of Death is indeed very strong. However, the Supreme Immortal Qi in my body is not ordinary Immortal Qi. It is not difficult to deal with it."
Lu An was stunned. Could it be that the Supreme Immortal Qi was even superior to the Power of Death in terms of attribute?
However, everything related to life and death was too complicated. Now was not the time to think about such a possibility. Since Yao was fine, it was a good thing. Lu An turned to look at the huge city gate in front of him, and seriously sized it up.
Standing in front of the city gate, he could see the solemnity of the city gate.
The city gate was about eight meters tall. Lu An And Yao and Yao Yao stood on the platform in front of the gate. Stepping on the stone slabs above, they seriously observed the city gate and the surrounding situation. There were patterns on the city gate. It was very simple, but it looked different from the designs commonly seen on the market. It seemed to have a special meaning. On the walls on both sides of the gate, there were two huge statues about three meters in diameter. They were located at the height of the city gate. They seemed to be the head of some kind of creature. However, the two of them had never seen this creature before, so they could not tell what it was.
However, although the city gate was right in front of them, Lu An And Yao was not in a hurry to make a move.
Earlier, they had seen how forty Heavenly Masters forcefully attacked the city gate. Even if the strength of forty people was greatly weakened, their combined strength was still very impressive. Looking at the city gate from a close distance, there was not even a trace of it. It was very obvious that the strength of forty people was completely unable to shake the city gate in the slightest.
Could it be … that there was some kind of mechanism outside the city gate?
Lu An And Yao did not separate. Together, the two of them searched around the city gate for various details. However, they did not touch anything with their hands. However, the area outside the city gate was only so big. Their perception could cover it completely. How could there be anything else?
What should they do?
The two of them were also confused. The people watching from afar were also confused. They were completely dumbfounded. The two of them looked around the city gate as if they were searching for treasures. It was as if the city gate was their own home. Could it be that they were not affected at all?
Some people did not believe it and even moved to enter the city gate again. However, as soon as he entered, the terrifying power of death immediately engulfed his entire body. The suffocating feeling made him widen his eyes and run away like a madman!
"Ha … Ha …"
Looking at this person's miserable state, everyone's heart sank even more. Even though they were members of the Fifteen Sects, they could not help but admit that Sengoku's strength was indeed extraordinary.
Finally, Lu An And Yao searched everything and confirmed that there was nothing similar to a mechanism. Everything was fixed. In other words, it seemed that if they wanted to open the gate, they could only use brute force.
"Let me try," Lu An said.
Yao nodded, but he did not retreat. He was only ten feet away from the city gate. Lu An took three steps forward and stood in front of the city gate. He raised his head and looked at the huge city gate. Taking a deep breath, he raised his arms and stretched them toward the city gate.
Looking at this scene from afar, he gathered his strength and was ready to attack at any time. The forty people who were thousands of feet away could also see it clearly. Their hearts were in their throats.
Bang!
At this moment, Lu An's hands pressed against the city gate.
Silence …
Nothing happened at all …
Lu An's heart trembled. He took a deep breath and pushed the gate with great force.
The muscles in his arms instantly tightened. However … the city gate still did not budge.
