2114 Life and Death
Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to have been hit by something hard, and all the blood in her body seemed to have frozen at this moment!
This perception was very subtle.
It was also a flickering light, and ordinary people couldn’t tell the difference at all. However, Chu Liuyue was different—she was the owner of the Celestial Shield. Back then, she was also the one who personally triggered the countless wildfires under Peach Blossom Dock to temper the Celestial Shield and remove the rust.
The scene where streams of light flew up and enveloped the Celestial Shield was still vivid in her mind. No one could remember it better or be more familiar with it.
She didn’t notice it at first, but at this moment, the Celestial Shield suddenly moved. Only then did she realize that the light on it was indeed identical to the white light enveloping the hall!
That aura… She would never mistake it!
“Yue’er?”
Chu Liuyue suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her companions looked over. Rong Xiu called her softly.
Chu Liuyue came back to her senses and looked up again. Could it be that… there is a secret related to the Celestial Shield hidden in that hall? Back then, Su Li said that the Celestial Shield had suddenly appeared and smashed into Peach Blossom Dock. No one knew its origin, nor did anyone know anything related to it.
“I just suddenly thought of something.” Chu Liuyue shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She then took a deep breath and continued walking forward, but her footsteps were slightly faster than before.
Rong Xiu lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze gently swept past her hand.
The ring was his. Of course, he knew what had happened.
A faint light flashed in his deep eyes. When he looked up again, his expression was still the same.
This small interlude didn’t attract everyone’s attention.
…
Another three days passed.
In the desert, there were already 40 to 50 people heading toward the hall.
Apart from those first-tier aristocratic families, some weaker factions also came. Other than that, there were even people who barged in alone.
Clearly, the newly opened Gate Realm was extremely attractive to the experts in the God Residence Realm. Even if they didn’t succeed, it was good to be able to come and take a look with their own eyes.
Moreover, luck was really hard to say. Something might fall into your lap, only to hit someone.
After such a long journey, the distance between the crowd and the hall finally narrowed a little. Unfortunately, the white fog was shrouding the hall. Apart from being able to make out a rough outline, they couldn’t see anything else.
After the Celestial Shield produced that fluctuation… As Chu Liuyue got closer and closer, the fluctuation and movement became stronger and stronger.
At this point, Chu Liuyue was already extremely sure that the Celestial Shield definitely had some close connection with it!
…
Five days later, everyone finally arrived in front of the hall!
At this moment, everyone finally saw clearly that this hall was actually suspended in the air!
The bottom was still an extremely long distance from the desert below. It was only because everyone was far away and the continuous sand dunes blocked their vision that they didn’t notice it for a long time.
Chu Liuyue looked up and carefully sized up the ‘sky pavilion’ in front of her.
Even though they were already here, they still couldn’t see what it looked like. They could only barely tell that it was an extremely magnificent palace.
The words on the plaque were covered very tightly.
“Then, the secret is hidden in this hall?” A voice came from the crowd, faintly excited.
Everyone looked ahead with different expressions, but the excitement and curiosity in their eyes were the same.
It wasn’t easy for them to reach this place. It was clearly impossible to say that they didn’t have any ambition or expectations.
But with so many people here now, who would come first was a problem.
Shi Rui’er leaned closer to Chu Liuyue and said, “Yue’er, you were the first to come here, and this Red Moon Desert is your Tianling Dynasty’s territory. No matter what, you’re the most qualified to enter first, right?”
When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice a little to let the others present hear.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.
They didn’t know that Chu Liuyue had such a relationship with this desert. If that was the case, they should be the first to enter.
Some of them wanted to question her, but after seeing Rong Xiu and the others, they chose to shut up.
Chu Liuyue nodded, then looked around and said, “If no one has any objections, I’ll take the lead.”
Although it was a questioning tone, she walked straight forward after saying that.
Everyone was speechless. You have no intention of letting others go first. Why are you still asking?
Actually, Chu Liuyue didn’t care about the order of entry at first. But considering the Celestial Shield, she still decided to be the first and seize the initiative.
The fluctuations on the Celestial Shield became more and more intense.
Chu Liuyue’s heart also started to beat rapidly.
She stepped forward and was about to reach the stone door. But at this moment, a figure suddenly darted out diagonally and beat Chu Liuyue to it!
Chu Liuyue’s eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to take action, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart!
She flew up without hesitation and retreated!
And that person had already rushed toward the stone door!
BANG!
A transparent barrier suddenly appeared!
That person didn’t react for a moment. By the time he realized the danger and wanted to evacuate in panic, it was too late!
He slammed into the barrier.
The strange thing was that there was no sound from the collision. But right on the heels of that, everyone saw an extremely bloody and cruel scene.
The man’s body trembled, and he spat out blood. However, his body didn’t fly out because of the rebound and instead stuck tightly to the barrier.
Then, a thin ripple surged on the barrier.
The ripple slowly brushed past, destroying and devouring that person bit by bit!
His body gradually disappeared under everyone’s shocked gazes.
He went straight to the end without leaving any traces.
The hot wind in the desert blew over with rough sand.
The ripple quietly dissipated, and the barrier there returned to its previous transparent appearance. In the end, it silently hid.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
In the blink of an eye, a living life was gone, and there was no corpse left!
Everyone fell silent.
Shock, fear, panic…
The scene before them was like a bucket of cold water that completely extinguished the enthusiastic anticipation and desire in everyone’s hearts.
Even if they wanted treasures, they needed to be alive!
But at this moment, every step forward was a challenge!
Shi Rui’er broke out into a cold sweat. “Fortunately! Fortunately, you didn’t go over just now. Otherwise—”
The one who died would be Chu Liuyue!
However, Chu Liuyue only stopped for a short moment before walking forward again.
