Since they had agreed to cooperate, everyone quickly gathered together again. Of course, it was clear that they did not fully trust each other, and they remained highly alert and mutually cautious.
"Everyone, follow me," Jue Ming instructed as he led the experts from the Wukong Organization and the Soulfire Clan forward. He took out a black magic talisman, which immediately surged with energy, transforming into an invisible black light that opened a passage through the demonic energy deep within the main hall.
This method astonished everyone.
"Young Friend Qin Chen, how did you know that Jue Ming would stop us and propose to join forces when you notified us to leave before?" Ao Lie, leading the experts from Cang Xuan City, looked at Qin Chen in shock.
In fact, when Qin Chen had shouted at Ao Lie to leave earlier, he had secretly transmitted a message, informing him that as long as they pretended to leave, Jue Ming would definitely speak out to stop them and propose an alliance, even at the risk of attacking the people from the three major cities.
Ao Lie was skeptical, but due to his trust in Qin Chen, he decided to pretend to break out. After all, he had worked hard to come here; how could he simply give up the treasures within the demon corpse?
Who would have thought that all of this had been anticipated by Qin Chen?
"City Lord Ao Lie, there are too many flaws in Jue Ming's words. However, the news about the Death and Life Demon Hall and the Myriad Worlds Demon Tree might be true. Later, observe my expressions and act accordingly; I want to see what kind of tricks this Wukong Organization is up to," Qin Chen said with a flicker of his gaze.
"Okay." City Lord Ao Lie immediately agreed. After the previous series of events, he had completely admired Qin Chen and knew that this young man was extraordinary, so he readily agreed.
"By the way, among the strong in Cang Xuan City, my daughter has the lowest cultivation. I hope Young Friend Qin Chen will take good care of her later. Qing Ling, you should communicate more with Young Friend Qin Chen in the future. You are both young people and should have more common language," Ao Lie added.
"Father..." Ao Qing Ling's face turned red, nearly stomping her foot. She naturally understood the meaning behind her father's words.
Qin Chen smiled, "City Lord Ao Lie is being overly polite. Miss Ao Qing Ling is a friend of mine; if she encounters danger, I will naturally not stand by idly. City Lord Ao Lie, please rest assured."
"Haha." Ao Lie laughed heartily. He believed that Qin Chen understood his intentions.
Under Jue Ming's guidance, everyone cautiously entered the depths of the main hall.
Around the hall, countless strange carvings were etched, and a bizarre aura lingered. The surrounding demonic energy was incredibly strong, shocking everyone internally.
If it weren't for Jue Ming using that special magic talisman to bring them in, it would have been far from simple for them to delve into the depths of the main hall on their own.
However, everyone understood that this was not the real challenge of the hall; otherwise, Jue Ming and the others would have already entered the depths. The real danger should lie deeper within the demonic energy.
Half an hour later, everyone finally exited the passage.
Boom! Upon leaving the range of the demonic energy, they found themselves in a bleak world, where the sky was dim, resembling a demon realm. The ground was covered in black gravel, and black winds swept through, capable of extinguishing everything.
Everyone was taken aback; the depths of the main hall were indeed a bizarre world.
"This Death and Life Demon Hall contains the cycle of life and death, evolving from the world refined within the body of the Saint of the Hell Demon Tribe. Therefore, although this is a hall, it is also a world where various scenes can be encountered," Jue Ming said solemnly. "What we have entered now is a small world within the Death and Life Demon Hall."
Everyone understood.
"Strange!" Many people looked up in shock.
