Chapter 420 Bloody Disaster
Chapter 420 Bloody Disaster
"Oh, we forgot one. With so many bodies, it's hard to choose."
A woman's voice suddenly appeared in the air, and soon after, Jiang He was pulled into another space.
Creating space...
It can only be a powerful being above the Integration Stage.
Transformation into Deity, Refinement into Emptiness, Integration into Body...
There's a difference of three whole levels.
—Two hours ago—
"Did we teleport directly to the inheritance site via a teleportation array?"
Zhong Liyu was still a little dazed when he woke up. He looked at the twelve gates in front of him and the other sect cultivators in front of him, completely confused about the current situation.
“There is a possibility that the place outside the treasure trove is the place of inheritance. Cultivators above the level of Great Power can create a second space to connect the treasure trove and the place of inheritance.”
"Creating space? Isn't that something only powerful beings above the Integration Stage can do?"
"That's the current suspicion."
Wanqi Ziye looked warily at the other sect cultivators.
Besides those who arrived here via teleportation array, there were also many sect cultivators.
Their highest cultivation level was all at the Nascent Soul stage, and the Lingyun Sect, where Guanghua Lanzheng was located, had three Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Among those present were dozens of sects, large and small, including Lingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect, Qi Sect, Qin Pavilion, and Blood Alliance.
The four major sects, Lingyun Sect, Hehuan Sect, Blood Alliance, and Divine Sect, have the most cultivators.
The sect members and powerful independent cultivators all said that there weren't many Nascent Soul stage cultivators scattered throughout a city, but today they encountered dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
It's difficult to compete with these people for the inheritance.
Wanqi Ziye pondered to himself. Before he could make an excuse to leave, Hua Lanzheng came to greet him.
The Wanqi family is royalty, and Wanqi Ziye is a strong contender for the next emperor. Although Hua Lanzheng has no intention of becoming a concubine, she can see that Wanqi Ziye is extremely talented. If she were to bet on him, she might be surprised by the outcome.
"Ziye, it's been a long time."
"aunt."
Wanqi Ziye's curt reply indicated that he did not intend to develop a close relationship with Hua Lanzheng.
Hua Lanzheng paused, her expression turning particularly unpleasant.
The other cultivators all looked over. If they remembered correctly, Hua Lanzheng and Wan Qiziye were not actually related by blood.
Initially, the Hua family wanted to curry favor with the royal family and intended to arrange a marriage between their eldest daughter, Hua Lanzheng, and the intended marriage partner was Wanqi Ziye.
Hua Lanzheng was five years older than Wan Qiziye, but she was extremely talented. At that time, she was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Some time ago, she broke through to the Divine Transformation stage at Lingyun Sect and became the cultivator with the highest cultivation level in her age group.
There's a lot of gossip about the relationship between Hua Lanzheng and Wan Qiziye.
For example, Hua Lanzheng and Wan Qiziye have been childhood sweethearts, so their families will definitely get married.
As for the truth behind it all, only Wanqi Ziye knew the full story.
The current emperor is Wanqi Ziye's uncle by blood. The Wanqi family has been royalty for generations. Wanqi Jingyan is determined to crack down on the major families. Wanqi Quanping (Wanqi Ziye's grandfather) naturally wants to be of one mind with Wanqi Jingyan in order to show his support. He politely declined the marriage alliance with the Hua family, but due to the previous exchange of interests, he officially recognized Hua Lanzheng as his goddaughter.
That's why this situation arose regarding seniority.
Wanqi Ziye knew some of the Hua family's secrets, which was not good for Hua Lanzheng. Therefore, he did not deliberately get close to her in order to save face for her.
On the contrary, recalling what Hua Lanzheng had done before, Wan Qiziye wished he could stay far away from her.
Hua Lanzheng felt somewhat embarrassed by Wan Qiziye's attitude, but thinking about the difference in their cultivation levels, she felt relieved.
So what if you're royalty? You still have to climb the ladder step by step from academia.
Wanqi Ziye is currently at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even if he is given five years, he will not be able to reach the Divine Transformation realm.
The gap between Wanqi Ziye and her was widening. Besides, this inheritance site was full of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. To obtain the inheritance was a pipe dream.
Since he had offended her, she no longer needed to put on a show.
Wan Qiziye has not yet graduated, and it's uncertain where he will end up.
Once he enters the Lingyun Sect, he will naturally be unable to escape her grasp.
Hua Lanzheng was surrounded by many cultivators from the Lingyun Sect. Among the cultivators from the Lingyun Sect who came here, there were five at the Nascent Soul stage.
Hua Lanzheng is determined to succeed in this inheritance.
Most of the academy cultivators, led by Wanqi Ziye of Baizhizhou, had never been to the Black Nest, and their cultivation level and combat experience were inferior to those of the sects.
Bai Zhizhou did not want to confront these people directly:
"We do not compete for inheritance."
"Compete? Do you really want to obtain the cave's inheritance? If you hadn't been teleported here, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand here. How dare you, with your Golden Core cultivation, enter the Azure Rank Secret Realm? If you ask me, students should study hard."
The other party was a middle-aged cultivator stroking a mustache, exuding an air of superiority, and speaking with a strong paternalistic accent that was nauseating.
"No, sir, you're only at the Nascent Soul stage, right? Our cultivation levels aren't that different. Let me guess how old you are. You look to be around sixty..."
"Heh, my senior brother has already reached the Nascent Soul stage..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear it. Your senior brother has reached the Nascent Soul stage, while you're still at the Core Formation stage. Why don't you reflect on yourself? Is your talent too poor, or do you not work hard enough in your cultivation? If you haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage, shut up. It's not your place to mock you."
Zhong Liyu rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Did they even want to come to this godforsaken inheritance site? It was all because of that weird map.
The scalper assured him that the map was authentic.
As a result, not only did they fail to find the magical artifact when they arrived at the treasure trove, but they were also nearly killed by S+ level monsters, and now they have encountered this group of "prodigies".
He's not particularly talented, but he's at least decent. What exactly gives this person a sense of superiority?
Zhong Liyu's words are even more formidable than Zhu Yi's gun; she has never lost a battle in terms of sheer offensive prowess.
After the two of them interrupted, the confrontation between them lessened.
Ye Qingti leaned against a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, who was fiddling with her hair:
"Now that we've arrived at the place of inheritance, what are we still hesitating for? There are twelve gates here, so just go in. If you want to obtain the inheritance, it's up to your own abilities."
Ye Qingti glanced lazily at everyone.
"It all depends on your abilities." Hua Lanzheng glanced at Wan Qiziye one last time before quickly choosing a door to enter.
Everyone else went inside as well.
Bai Zhizhou had no interest in the inheritance; he turned and left.
"I'll go find an exit."
The cultivators of Wanjue Academy mostly followed Bai Zhizhou. Seeing that Bai Zhizhou had no intention of competing for the inheritance, they thought about it and decided to go out with Bai Zhizhou as well.
But after everyone had searched around...
Wanqi Ziye discovered that the path through which the sect cultivators had entered had vanished, leaving no way back. He was now left with only the twelve gates as his only option.
"No door? This cave is a bit strange." Li Ling checked the surrounding environment, fearing that it might contain a talisman seed, just like the magic artifact hiding place.
"It's more than that, it's completely sealed off. What kind of opportunity is this? What's the point of not letting us out?" Zhong Liyu muttered in complaint.
"It's less a matter of chance and more a matter of someone wanting us to die."
Kongji held the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, and suddenly a drop of blood seeped from the fingertip that touched the beads.
Everyone who saw it found it amazing.
These prayer beads are so smooth, yet they pricked my empty fingers.
"Unfortunately, there are signs of bloodshed among us, including me."
