“Hmph, since this brat wants to leave, let him go for now. Later, when I delve deeper into this relic and gain opportunities to breakthrough my cultivation, I will come back to deal with him. By then, he will inevitably find it impossible to live or die.”
Filled with resentment, Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang sneered, watching as Qin Chen and his group immediately left the palace.
Just as Qin Chen and the others were about to step into the passageway outside the palace.
Suddenly.
“Boom!”
A massive stone fell from above the passage, sealing it completely, blocking Qin Chen and the others inside, as if not wanting them to leave at all.
Crack! The giant stone fused seamlessly with the main hall, not a single gap visible.
What’s going on?
Why did the exit suddenly close?
Everyone present was stunned, their faces showing shock, clearly taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
“Chen Shao, what’s happening?”
Zhuo Qingfeng and the others were also bewildered. “It seems my guess was correct. Everything is deliberately arranged by someone, wanting to lead us step by step into a dead end. Now that I want to leave, they immediately activate the mechanism to close the passage, leaving us with no chance to escape, intending to seal us in here,” Qin Chen said with an ugly expression.
Entering a dead end? Someone deliberately arranged this? What exactly is going on?
Everyone felt completely puzzled, their minds unable to process the information.
“Hehe, fearmongering. It’s just a rock, how can it stop us?”
A mid-stage peak Martial King from the Da Li Dynasty sneered, his figure shaking as he instantly arrived in front of the rock.
This person was robust, clearly someone who excelled in strength, wielding a giant hammer half the height of a person, his true essence surging as he fiercely struck the giant rock.
“Booming Hammer!”
Rumble!
A violent shaking occurred as the black hammer slammed against the rock, but the entire rock didn’t even tremble, remaining motionless.
“Impossible?”
The burly man’s face turned ugly, his true essence erupting again, boom boom boom, the giant hammer fell like raindrops upon the rock.
But it was useless.
The rock seemed to be protected by some terrifying power; after dozens or even hundreds of strikes, the stone wall didn’t even show a crack, showing no signs of being broken, completely immovable.
“Let me try.”
A cold voice sounded as the ancestor of the Longyuan Dynasty, Sai Luochuan, flickered into view, holding a black battle knife.
The battle knife was thick, carrying unmatched power as it slashed down, instantly unleashing thirteen strikes.
Puff puff puff!
The terrifying knife power struck the stone wall, seemingly absorbed repeatedly, just like the previous burly man, having no effect whatsoever.
At this moment, everyone’s expressions changed.
Sai Luochuan was the ancestor of the Longyuan Dynasty, a peak figure at the seventh stage, yet he couldn’t break this stone wall?
Swish swish swish!
In an instant, many powerful figures on the scene began to act, attempting to smash the stone wall, but without exception, all returned empty-handed.
“Brat, what do you mean? What do you mean someone deliberately arranged this to lead us into a dead end?”
“Yeah, brat, clarify!”
“What is going on?”
“The moment you came in, everything was strange. What do you know?”
The crowd angrily surrounded Qin Chen, their expressions unfriendly.
“Blood Demon Cult.”
Qin Chen did not explain further, only uttering three words.
“Blood Demon Cult? What does that mean?”
“You’re saying this is the arrangement of the Blood Demon Cult?”
“How is that possible? The Blood Demon Cult perished a thousand years ago, who are you trying to fool?”
“Even if it was the Blood Demon Cult, how do you know?”
“In my opinion, all of this seems to be your doing, brat?”
The crowd stirred, a sense of panic gradually spreading as Ding Qianqiu and Li Shang took advantage of the confusion to accuse Qin Chen.
Qin Chen sneered, “What’s impossible about this?”
