In total, including Lu Li, there were about sixty given few had died. This was a large crowd and some immortals were quite powerful. That being said, faced with disciples of the three major sects, nobody dared to take any actions because of the three major sects… represented a certain force!
Ling Feidu had an imposing manner. He was almost six feet tall. He was wearing a white robe, a rose gold crown and holding a rose gold halberd. His eyes were glowing and his looks were handsome, as well as masculine. He pointed his halberd at the crowd. Nobody dared to make a sound. Somehow, it made him more impressive.
Lu Li saw that many ladies of the Palace of Snow Mountain were smitten by Ling Feidu. The Holy Princess, though, kept a straight face. She was calm as ever. Her focus was not on Ling Feidu, but on the horizon as if she did not care about anything.
Lu Li then checked out Lou Shi’er, the leader of the team from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle. He was trimming his nails with the saber in a relaxed manner. He even appeared to be cynical.
Upon further observation, Lu Li noticed that the ones with the most obvious evil intention were from the Cabinet of Cloud. It appeared that Ling Feidu while appearing to be outstanding, was narrow-minded.
In the crowd, they looked at each other. Eventually, a blue-haired young man stepped forward and said, “Young Master Ling, we were dishonest, indeed. We have profited from your actions. This is free riding. Young Master Ling, we apologize to you. If this is not enough, then we are willing to accept any punishment you see fit.”
That blue-haired young man chose his words cleverly and he adopted a humble attitude. If Ling Feidu continued to press them, he would be seen as small-minded. That would not be detrimental to his grace and also his reputation once words got out.
Besides, so many pretty ladies were here, including a holy lady from the Palace of Snow Mountain. How could Ling Feidu throw a temper?
“Yes, he is right! We were benefitted by the actions of Young Master Ling, Young Master Lou, and Holy Princess. Thank you so much.”
“Please, be the bigger person…”
Others piled on with a humble attitude. The ones that could become immortals were clever. They knew when to admit inferiority. Otherwise, the ones from the three major sects would take actions to smash them away and they would be surrounded by the wild beasts.
Ling Feidu grinned. There was no telling if he was still angry or not. But he did put away his saber and said no more.
Another disciple from the Cabinet of Cloud next to Ling Feidu said, “Shut up. Do you really think that a few pretty words can help you get off the hook? Hmm. Are you fooling us? We have been fighting a bloody battle but you are enjoying the fruit behind us. Are there such things as free lunch in the world?”
The Holy Princess from the Palace of Snow Mountain frowned but said nothing. Lou Shi’er continued to trim his nails with the saber. While Ling Feidu was not talking, evidently, he had given silent consent to his team to create trouble.
The blue-haired young man was embarrassed. He clasped his hands. “Then what do you need, lord? Please tell us!”
“It’s simple, really!”
The disciple from Cabinet of Cloud sneered. “You can go down the mountain and come back up by yourselves. Or, you can go into the portal before us and help us explore the way. This time, you will make the effort while we rest. We will call it even.”
“Go down and come back up?”
They looked at each other speechlessly. Someone might have the confidence to pierce through the herd of beasts and come back up. That being said, to be chased down would be humiliating. Finally, they had climbed up the mountain. Of course, many would not feel comfortable to do this again.
“Sure~”
The blue-haired young man was sensible. He pressed his lips. “It is fair that we return the favor after you have blazed the trail. I agree!”
The blue-haired young man impressed many disciples of the three major disciples. Even the Holy Princess of the Palace of Snow Mountain threw him a glance. Lou Shi’er looked up and asked, “What is your name?”
The blue-haired young man clasped his hands. “Young Master Shi’er, I am Lin Yu from the Lin Family of the Prefecture of Oriental Prayers. I have been admiring the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle.”
“Well!”
Lou Shi’er nodded and went back to nail-trimming. Disciples of Cabinet of Cloud cast a glance to the crowd and said, “Those that are willing to explore the way, go ahead into the portal. Those that are not, piss off the mountain.”
Lin Yu, the blue-haired young man clasped his hands. Together with over a dozen people, he headed toward the portal. Lu Li joined as well after some thoughts.
Given Lu Li’s abilities, only by releasing both the immortal’s body, warlord skeleton, and the Deaf Taoist, could he break through from the herd of wild beasts?
They had to go ahead and blaze a trail. That being said, those from the three major sects were behind them. When they had to retreat in defeat, it was not likely that the ones from the three major sects fold their hands and let others die.
The remaining dozens looked at each other. Eventually, they decided to go and explore the way. The main reason was the fame of the three major sects. Nobody wanted to offend the three major sects.
Lu Li followed Lin Yu and others to the portal. The ones from three major sects stepped to the side. Lin Yu was the first to dash into the portal and others followed him.
“Buzzing~”
The Relic armor appeared outside Lu Li’s body. He also took out Relic weapon and stepped into the portal. After a flash of white light, he glanced over and suddenly, his pupils contracted!
He was faced with a corridor, a straight corridor that had no end in sight.
Over forty to fifty could walk side by side in the corridor. There were many square stone slabs on the floor. They did not seem dangerous but Lin Yu and the others were completely shocked.
There were so many skeletons on the corridor. For several miles to where they could see, there were at least hundreds of skeletons, ruined Relic armors and weapons!
Even Relic armors were destroyed…
Nobody dared to move randomly. Someone was gasping. No wonder the ones from the three major sects wanted them to explore the way. As it turned out, it was such a fatally dangerous place.
“Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing~”
More and more people came in one after another. Over sixty had all come in and yet nobody took actions. Then, Ling Feidu and the others came in as well, standing behind this crowd.
In total, there were over two hundred people. Naturally, it became crowded. Lin Yu, Lu Li, and others were forced to move forward a bit. Everyone was being extra cautious. Their hearts were beating fast. They used psychic power to check the surroundings to identify the potential danger.
Undoubtedly, there must be Inhibition Formation in the corridor, and it must be quite terrifying. This corridor must be one from hell since even Relic armors could be ripped into pieces.
They moved forward for over two hundred feet so that the others could come in. After everyone was in, nobody moved another inch forward because one hundred feet ahead, there were skeletons…
“This is the Path of Life and Death!”
Lou Shi’er solemnly said, “Every slab is a potential trigger to Inhibition Formations which are varied in strength. The stronger ones can kill most of us at once. We can only move forward, not backward on the path. Every time an Inhibition Formation is triggered, the pattern will be changed. The safe course discovered in history is of no use at all. The only way to go past this level in safety is to rely on luck. Guys, good luck.”
“Swish, swish, swish~”
Apart from the Holy Princess, Ling Feidu, and Lou Shi’er, the others were taken aback. Lin Yu and Lu Li turned pale at once from fright.
