Chapter 144: Dumbstruck, Absolutely Dumbstruck, Why Dig Someone's Grave! (6K)_2
Zhou Qing nodded, then took a deep breath. After entering the Bronze Gate, he had just stepped into the Gravity Zone when that spine-chilling feeling of being watched instantly appeared, and a familiar whistling sound came from ahead.
Zhou Qing sighed.
After all, in the simulated environment, he couldn't even withstand the second wave and was torn apart by numerous Nascent Soul Realm Wandering Souls.
Boom!
Upon seeing twenty Nascent Soul Realm Wandering Souls roaring and charging toward him, Zhou Qing dared not hesitate. He quickly formed seals with both hands, muttering incantations under his breath.
In an instant, a Golden Crow covered in dazzling golden flames rushed straight ahead.
Immediately, a symphony of roars and screams echoed throughout the entire Gravity Zone.
The heavily exhausted Zhou Qing turned pale. Taking this opportunity, he turned and fled.
Stumbling out, he was met with the stares of others. Zhou Qing bowed with a face full of guilt: "Supreme Elders, I have let you down!"
...
Returning to Little Spirit Peak, Zhou Qing was somewhat conflicted for a moment.
Regarding the passage, he could completely inform the Supreme Elders, including the control spell for the Five-Colored Altar.
At worst, he could push everything onto his second uncle, since the messages inside the passage were left by his second uncle for the Supreme Elders to discover.
But the problem was, the six coffins in the passage were fraught with dangers. Even his second uncle dared not easily open them and had gone out to further his skills in restriction techniques.
Take the third coffin, for instance. It contains a sealed Crocodile King of the Spirit Severing Realm—who could handle that?
If it were accidentally released, the consequences would be unimaginable. The entire Taiqing Sect might not survive its rampage.
If the Supreme Elders rashly went in, it would be akin to sheep entering a tiger's den.
As for the other five coffins, there's no need to even think about it. One can easily guess that the dangers within are no less severe.
Moreover, at the critical juncture of the Five Sects War, each Supreme Elder was the spiritual pillar of the sect and absolutely indispensable.
If something happened to any Supreme Elder because of this passage, Zhou Qing would be wracked with guilt.
Even thinking ten thousand steps back, if the Supreme Elders discovered the passage around the Gravity Zone leading directly to the restricted area, what do you think they would do first?
They would definitely erase the memories of anyone who knew about this secret. This matter is too significant; they wouldn't dare leave any chance.
Especially since this secret was known by a disciple of the Golden Core Realm.
Moreover, this Golden Core Realm disciple is now on Cangyan Daoist Palace's kill list.
If captured, torture and soul search would be inevitable. The consequences are simply unthinkable.
Optimistically, even if the Supreme Elders only took away the Five-Colored Altar, it wouldn't be good for him either.
He still wanted to use the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace simulation to go into the restricted area and find some good things.
Moreover, when his second uncle returned and suddenly found the altar missing, wouldn't he be baffled?
After all, their relationship was still quite good—both teacher and friend. If there were any benefits, his second uncle would take him along.
He eats meat, and Zhou Qing could drink the soup!
Just like the top-grade fire-attribute Spirit Stone and the Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture, these were the best evidence.
After understanding these pros and cons, Zhou Qing's sense of guilt lessened somewhat. He then settled his mind to focus on studying the fourth form of the Thunder Sword Skills.
...
Soon after, urgent messages quickly spread throughout the three major alliances.
The numerous humanoid puppets owned by Cangyan Daoist Palace were launching fierce attacks on the mineral veins of the Three Sects.
The personnel stationed at the mines were overwhelmed, suffering heavy casualties, and urgent rescue messages were sent from everywhere—the situation was very critical.
Following the orders from their sects, many disciples dared not delay and immediately rushed to the locations to provide support.
After some communication between the Three Sects, they also organized retaliatory strikes, attacking the mineral veins of Cangyan Daoist Palace.
For a moment, the war between the five major sects escalated comprehensively, and the entire Eastern Domain was shrouded in this tense situation.
Several days passed like this. One night, Yan Xiaohu stood quietly not far away, gazing at Mo Xingjian's residence with a determined look. After bowing down, he quietly left.
This time, what he was about to do would definitely make the name of Sword Tyrant Yan Xiaohu echo throughout the entire Eastern Domain.
The next day, when Zhou Qing received a message from Mo Xingjian, he was stunned and quickly sent a message to Third Senior Brother.
But because of the distance, he couldn't receive any response.
"Already at the Nascent Soul Realm, but still acting like a child!" Zhou Qing said with a frown, full of helplessness.
Now, even if he wanted to chase after him, he wouldn't know which direction to go, leaving him extremely anxious.
"Don't worry, although your third senior brother seems reckless, he's actually detailed in his actions. There shouldn't be any major problems," Mo Xingjian comforted.
He knew Yan Xiaohu quite well and understood that while the guy appeared brash, he could be quite reliable at times.
Zhou Qing agreed with this point and could only hope his trip would be safe and smooth.
"You better not run around recently. According to the latest news, quite a few Nascent Soul Realm loose cultivators are preparing to catch you for a bounty," Mo Xingjian warned seriously.
