813: 236_3 813: 236_3 “Beside Cao Zhen there are three individuals at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, with such strength, among the people who entered these ruins, probably no force could stop them!”
“Yes, if we encounter a treasure and then happen to meet them, what should we do at that time?
Simply hand over the treasure to them?”
Not long after Cao Zhen and others left, more individuals successively flew in.
Meanwhile, hidden in the distant mountains, Lan Mei also quietly appeared and flew towards the people.
Cao Zhen had already left far away.
As he flew, he reflected on his recent battle with the Axe Madman.
The battle had indeed ended in a draw for now, but after only exchanging two moves with the Axe Madman, he couldn’t gauge how strong the Axe Madman really was, nor could he determine, both being reincarnations of great abilities, whether Star Monarch Hao Yue or the Axe Madman was stronger.
Speaking of which, it had been a while since he viewed Star Lord Hao Yue through the Zhonghua Cloud.
The ruins were incredibly vast.
That day, Cao Zhen had been flying continuously, without encountering anyone or any dangers, just endlessly flying until he reached a cave.
And this was only the first day.
In the following ten plus days, he flew non-stop every day.
Even though he occasionally encountered some dangers, those were hardly significant for them.
These ten plus days were essentially filled with nothing but flight.
In the blink of an eye, the group had been here for half a month.
At dusk, a group of five people once again ducked into a cave.
As they continued to advance, they found that the caves became progressively smaller.
The current cave could accommodate just over ten people, and it seemed somewhat cramped for their group of five.
Li Ke was still in deep slumber, with no indication of when he might awaken.
Like usual, Cao Zhen took out two maps.
They had obtained three maps in total.
However, one of these, which allowed them to see the formation scene of the ruins, shouldn’t be called a map.
Since they had used it once, it had turned into a blank piece of paper.
Bringing it into other caves resulted in no changes.
On the other hand, the other two maps, when brought into a cave, would cause the walls around them to change and could be used continuously.
Firstly, they could observe the situation in other caves and the other entrants of the ruins, and secondly, they could verify the authenticity of the caves.
Previously on their journey, they had entered a cave.
However, after entering and using the map, the cave showed no changes.
Clearly, it was a fake cave.
Possibly, someone had deliberately created such fake caves to trap others.
After Cao Zhen took out the map, he no longer paid attention to the condition of the rocky walls while Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, as well as Linghu Gudu, were free to examine them.
He then started connecting with Eclipse Demon.
Hmm?
The Eclipse Demon and they have entered a palace?
Cao Zhen’s gaze narrowed slightly as he began to observe.
The place where Eclipse Demon and his group were located, referred to as a palace, actually resembled more of a labyrinth.
It was filled with numerous long corridors.
Moreover, the corridor in front of them clearly led to five different paths in five different directions.
“Five corridors, my people, each enter a different one.
Moreover, everyone remember, once you enter a corridor, immediately leave a mark on the walls.
We do not know how many corridors there will be.”
After saying this, the third prince stepped towards the central corridor, and the middle-aged man behind him closely followed.
Eclipse Demon, together with a charming woman, entered the far-left corridor.
The corridor was narrow, just wide enough to accommodate two people walking side by side.
Once Eclipse Demon entered the corridor, he did not walk alongside the woman but instead lagged behind.
The charming woman glanced back at Eclipse Demon and sneered with disdain, “Eclipse Demon, I really wonder how you managed to cultivate to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
A male cultivator like you hides behind me as soon as we enter the corridor, letting me lead the way?”
Unblushing and calm, Eclipse Demon replied, “Junior Sister Qian Jiao, I merely intended to cover our rear.”
“You…” Qian Jiao appeared annoyed yet did not argue with Eclipse Demon and continued to lead the way.
Neither spoke, and for a while, only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the long corridor.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Jiao spoke again, “Senior Brother, do you think what we, the Sun Moon Demon Sect, are doing now is correct?
Nowadays, we’re completely relying on the third prince…”
Eclipse Demon, walking behind, slowly spoke up, “Junior Sister, wasn’t this what the Sect Leader had decided before they went into slumber?
Besides, if we hadn’t cooperated with the third prince, neither of us might have broken through to become Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”
“But our fate as the Sun Moon Demon Sect is now entirely in the hands of the third prince,” said Qian Jiao softly.
“I would rather our Sun Moon Demon Sect…”
“Junior Sister!” Eclipse Demon suddenly interjected, cutting off Qian Jiao’s desire to continue, “Don’t say anymore, let’s find the entrance first.”
