Chapter 3,385: Thirty-Six Holes
completely divided up by the Changsun and Dongfang families. They didn't get even a single drop of soup, let alone a share of the spoils.The Sima family, Patriarch Sima Pingcuo sat in his study, his f...The Shinfu Seven Kills formation was broken, and everyone regained their sight.
At this moment, the air was thick with the stench of blood. Forty or fifty Immortals had just charged in, but less than half remained standing. The vast majority had died in the recent formation.
But no one paid attention to these things. This is how cultivation works, everyone cares about resources, they care about the living, the dead have no meaning at all.
Ye Bufan's eyes swept around, and he was stunned by the scene before him.
The formation was broken, and they found themselves in the center of an empty plaza. There was nothing around them, no treasures to be seen.
And all around the square was a huge cavity, arranged in a ring shape. A simple count showed there were more than thirty-six of them.
These holes are all the same size, and each opening is carved with patterns of fierce beasts.
Inside was pitch black, like it could absorb light. Once your consciousness entered, it vanished immediately and you couldn't see anything at all.
"It's rather eerie here."
Ye Bufan frowned slightly, it seemed that the Wanshou Palace was not as simple as he imagined. He would need to investigate further to obtain the treasures.
Others also noticed this, looking at the thirty-six holes, each with a puzzled expression, not knowing how to choose.
Zhao Jiuzhou looked at Wu Yuanlang and Bai Mengyao beside him, "What do you two think"
Bai Mengyao was still smiling seductively, "Listen to what the two brothers say, I'll do whatever you say."
Wu Yuanlang came from Tiangji Mountain Villa. He had a deep study of all kinds of mechanisms and formations. His eyes were sharp as he scanned the thirty-six holes in front of him.
While everyone else's eyes were fixed on him, waiting for the master of formations to give the final instructions.
But after waiting for a long time, Wu Yuanlang finally shook his head slightly.
“It’s truly embarrassing, this old man can’t see anything.”
These holes should be the entrances to the grotto, but they are all identical and there is no way to tell them apart.
We can only choose one path to enter, and leave the rest to fate.
Although feeling helpless, there was nothing anyone else could do. Even the experts from Tianji Mountain Villa couldn't figure it out, so they were also at a loss.
"Well then, we'll go with this one."
Anyway, since it's all about luck, Zhao Jiuzhou pointed to one at random. The others nodded in agreement, with no objections.
Gen Junsheng stepped forward and said, “Elder, I have a request. Could you please allow me to bring Mu Xianzi and Zhao Xianzi with me”
This guy has been pursuing Mulan Chi. His previous consecutive failures left a bad impression on her, and now he wants to seize the opportunity to redeem himself.
In his view, he now had the absolute upper hand. If he brought along Mulanchi and Zhao Ya, the other side would surely be grateful.
Zhao Jiuzhou knew his thoughts and also knew Mulan Zhi's identity, then nodded.
"Well, anyway, with the three of us old-timers here, it doesn't matter if we bring two more along."
His words amounted to making the decision for Bai Mengyao and Wu Yuanlang.
"Greetings, Elder Xie."
Geng Junsheng was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at Mulan Zhi and the other two.
"Wood Fairy, travel with us!"
When he finished speaking, the other immortals around him all cast envious glances at him.
The current situation is clear to everyone. Everything is unknown, and no one knows what dangers may await us next. After all, we have just lost half our people.
But if one were to be by the side of Zhao Jiuzhou, Wu Yuanlang, and Bai Mengyao, those three old monsters, things would be different. Everything would become much safer, and the probability of success would increase exponentially.
It's a pity that I have no background or looks like others, so I can only stand here and watch longingly.
"I'm not going. I want to stay with Senior Brother Ye."
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Ya was the first to stand up and refuse. She grabbed Ye Bufan's arm casually, showing no intention of leaving at all.
Gen Junsheng was taken aback, obviously a little surprised.
But he didn't take it to heart too much. In his mind, Zhao Ya was a little childish, but Mulan Zhi definitely wouldn't, she would always make the most correct decision.
"I apologize to all my senior colleagues and Master Geng. Thank you for your kindness, but my junior sister and I will not trouble you."
After finishing her sentence, she turned to look at Ye Bufan, “Can my junior sister and I team up with you”
"Sure."
Ye Bufan nodded. They had originally come here together, and since the other party was willing, he wouldn't refuse.
“That…”
Everyone was stunned, no one had expected Mulanzhi to make this choice.
Geng Junshen was even worse, his face instantly turning as dark as thunder.
When the woman he had his eyes on chose to go with someone else and turned him down, it left him feeling utterly wretched.
“Well, since the Wood Fairy doesn't need it, let's go.”
Zhao Jiuzu was too lazy to pay attention to these things. What he cared about most now was what kind of treasures were in the Wan Shou Palace.
As for such petty matters of love affairs between men and women, he didn't care at all.
After saying that, he strode towards the hole in front of him. Geng Junshen glared fiercely at Ye Bufan and followed suit.
Soon, the six of them entered a hole.
Others also formed teams and then chose a place to try their luck.
After all, since I've come this far, I can't leave empty-handed. Even if there are many dangers, I have to give it a try.
"Young Master Ye, I apologize for the trouble."
Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, we were all on the same team originally, it's not a trouble."
"That's right, you don't need to be polite with Senior Brother Ye."
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ye, which cave should we go into"
Ye Bufan smiled and said, "You're right."
Then this one.
Zhao Ya pointed to an empty tunnel ahead.
"Sure."
Ye Bufan led everyone inside. Leng Qingqiu walked at the front, her cultivation was the highest and she had the strongest ability to react in danger.
This hole is truly magical. After entering, it immediately becomes incredibly spacious. There are mountains and water surrounding you, as if you've entered another world.
"This place is so beautiful."
Zhao Ya saw the surrounding mountains and waters like paintings, her face filled with excitement.
She saw a pretty white flower next to her, reached out and picked one, then placed it on top of her head.
"Senior Brother Ye, do you think this flower looks pretty on me"
"Beautiful."
Ye Bufan said, but his heart wasn't at ease. Instead, he felt an inexplicable pressure.
He found that after entering here, his divine sense was suppressed more and more severely. Even with his powerful mental strength, he couldn't see beyond ten meters.
>However, that's all. I didn't find any other dangers.
A few people walked for a full hour, but they still hadn't found the exit.see his features, this man's skin was dark and wrinkled, and coupled with the dim lighting, it was impossible to tell his age. There were no other people in the room, so it seemed this man must be the...
