Chapter 368

Soon it was time to open the restricted area.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi arrived at their destination under the guidance of a martial arts master from the Bai family.

Hundreds of cultivators gathered at the edge of a cliff. Those who came were either Martial Lords or Martial Saints, and there were also many unfamiliar faces that Mu Chen had never seen before.

Ye Shi stood beside Mu Chen and said in a voice transmission, "I don't know if anyone from the Fate Clan has arrived."

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Here I come."

Muchen inherited part of the memories of the Fate Clan and knew a lot of the clan's secrets.

Mu Chen easily found Zhuang Sifeng, Zhuang Siyu, Zhuang Silei, Zhuang Siyun and Zhuang Siyue among the people from the Fate Clan. These five people should be the ones from the Fate Clan who conquered the five towers in the outer realm two hundred years ago. Among the five, there are two masters at the level of Martial Saint, and three are Martial Lords.

There was also a mysterious old man beside the five people. Although Mu Chen was not very clear about the old man's identity, he clearly felt the danger. This old man was very powerful.

Mu Chen was observing several people, and several people from the Fate Clan were also observing him.

Ye Shi looked down at the cliff with anticipation and asked curiously, "When will the restricted area open? I wonder what it's like inside."

Everyone is curious. The more terrifying the Bai and Ling families described the restricted area as, the more interested Ye Shi became in it.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "It should be soon."

At the bottom of the cliff, black fog was swirling. Ye Shi frowned and muttered, "Why does this secret realm have such a gloomy feeling?"

Mu Chen nodded and said, "It seems so."

Among the hundreds of people, most are powerful martial masters, and most of them are nine-star martial masters, probably coming to seek opportunities for breakthroughs.

Black light surged out, and all the people on the cliff were suddenly sucked down.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi were caught off guard and sucked into the restricted area. Before they could stand firm, a huge black handprint pressed down towards them.

Sensing the murderous aura coming towards him, Ye Shi took out the formation book without hesitation and activated the origin formation pattern.

Ye Shi's strength had already made great progress. When he activated the origin array pattern, he suddenly became murderous and his appearance was astonishing.

Mu Chen also sent out his giant fire palm. Even the seven-star martial saint master of the Bai family could not resist the combined efforts of Ye Shi and Mu Chen, but they were no match for the old man.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi were knocked back by the giant palm.

The ground began to shake violently. Mu Chen pulled Ye Shi up and the two of them retreated rapidly.

A huge monster rose from the ground.

Mu Chen's soul power swept lightly and he didn't dare to look again.

The monster must have been sleeping for a long time, its body merged with the earth, and it had no breath at all, so much so that Mu Chen and the elders of the Fate Clan did not notice it at first.

At this moment, the monster woke up, and its aura was extremely terrifying.

The monster looked like a flattened frog. It opened its mouth and swallowed several Wu Zuns.

A fishy smell and a huge suction force came, and Mu Chen and Ye Shi flew back quickly.

"What kind of monster is that!" Ye Shi muttered.

"Don't worry about it, just go." Mu Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shi immediately restrained the expression on his face and followed Mu Chenfei away.

"They're chasing us." Mu Chen said.

Ye Shi frowned and said, "That old man is crazy."

Damn old man, he actually attacked them in a place like this. It’s very dangerous here.

There are so many old monsters in the Fate Clan, and their strength is really strong. Ye Shi has also seen the Seven-Star Martial Saint ancestor of the Bai family, and his strength is far inferior to that of the old monster in the Fate Clan.

Muchen quickly calculated the route and avoided the people behind him.

A willow tree appeared silently in front of Mu Chen.

Mu Chen's heart sank suddenly. According to his calculations, there would be no trees in this place, but unexpectedly, there appeared such a big willow tree.

Mu Chen suddenly remembered the murderous willow that Ling Chuan had mentioned.

The branches of the willow tree suddenly opened, and Ye Shi saw a strange face floating above the trunk of the willow tree, and he was immediately horrified.

Mu Chen and Ye Shi were wrapped like dumplings by the willow branches that shot towards them.

Mu Chen felt suffocated and flames suddenly burst out of his body.

The willow tree let out a scream and its branches suddenly spread out.

Mu Chen hugged Ye Shi who was thrown down by the willow tree. Without waiting for Ye Shi to calm down, Mu Chen quickly took Ye Shi away.

Several people from the Fate Clan who arrived later were entangled by the willow tree. Mu Chen didn't have time to watch what happened next and left quickly with Ye Shi.

The two men traveled for two days, turning here and there, and only stopped when they were sure they had gotten rid of the people from the Life Clan.

"Ming Clan, who is that old monster? He seems very powerful." Ye Shi muttered.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that he is a nine-star martial saint, only one step away from being a martial god." According to Zhuang Tianyang's memory, the Ming clan had a nine-star martial saint elder who lived in seclusion and had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Ye Shi blinked and said, "No wonder it's so powerful. However, that willow tree is also very powerful."

"Where are we now? Is it shown on the map?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi took out the jade pendant and looked at it, then said with disappointment, "It doesn't match the map Grandpa gave me at all."

Mu Chen frowned and said, "It seems that the map is useless..."

"Map, what's the use of a map? The terrain of this damn place changes every day." A man with tattered clothes, a thin figure, and sunken eye sockets appeared in front of the two men.

"Who are you?"

"After three thousand years, someone finally came in. They are two young fools. I am so lucky that I caught up with them here." The old man looked at Mu Chen and Ye Shi, his eyes full of greed.

"If you don't want to die, hand over the Yuanshi to me." The old man stared at the two of them and said grimly.

Ye Shi was furious. First, he was chased by the old man of the Fate Clan, then he was entangled by the willow tree, and now he was threatened by an inexplicable person. Ye Shi suppressed his anger, and finally it burned fiercely.

Ye Shi took out the formation book without hesitation and launched an attack on the old man.

"The formation has entered the body, and someone from the Bai family has come in again." The old man's face changed several times, staring at Ye Shi, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Ye Shi took out the formation book and activated the origin formation pattern. Seeing that he could not gain any advantage, the old man ran away in shame.

Mu Chen watched the old man leave, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "Strange."

Ye Shi turned his head, looked at Mu Chen, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That person didn't come in with us," Mu Chen said. It seemed like the person didn't recognize him or Ye Shi at all.

Moreover, although Ye Shi's attack just now was fierce, the man's strength was not bad either. Logically speaking, he should not have left so easily. It seemed that the man was afraid of something.

"It's indeed not." A pale-faced man looked at the two of them, with a hint of annoyance and helplessness in his eyes.

The formation book in Ye Shi's hand flew out and into the man's hand.

Ye Shi stared at the man blankly, feeling surprisingly calm.

The newcomer was very powerful, even comparable to the Martial Saint of the Fate Clan they had met before, but Ye Shi could not sense any hostility from the newcomer.

Bai Jixue looked at Ye Shi and said, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-one." Ye Shi said respectfully.

Bai Jixue's brows furrowed even more, his eyes filled with regret and resentment. "You're only twenty-one, and you're already a Martial Saint. What are you doing here? Ten thousand years ago, didn't someone from the Bai family send a message telling people not to come in again?"

There was such news, but it had been ten thousand years, and the elders of the clan were inevitably curious about what had happened in the restricted area.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Jixue with some confusion and said, "Can't we come here?"

Bai Jixue sighed and said, "It's almost impossible to come here. If I come, I can't leave. I used to be able to come, but now I can't."

Ye Shi frowned and said helplessly: "I don't understand!"

"You should know who I am." Bai Jixue changed the subject and said to Ye Shi.

"The book spirit said that you are the one who created it." Ye Shi said.

Bai Jixue nodded and said, "Yes, that formation book was refined by me tens of thousands of years ago. I can be considered your ancestor."

"Since it has recognized you as its master, I'll give it to you." Bai Jixue waved his hand, and the formation book returned to Ye Shi's hand.

"Who is he?" Bai Jixue looked at Mu Chen with an unfriendly expression.

"He is my husband, one of our own." Ye Shi hurriedly stood in front of Mu Chen and said.

Bai Jixue frowned. "Although you are Shuang'er, you are already a Martial Saint at the age of twenty-one. And you are still married? Why don't you find a woman?"

Ye Shi: "..." He was already a martial saint at the age of twenty-one. What does it have to do with whether he gets married or not?

"How old are you?" Bai Jixue asked Mu Chen.

"Twenty-two." Mu Chen said.

Bai Jixue narrowed his eyes in surprise, then nodded and said, "Not bad, this is barely worthy of...a member of my Bai family."

Mu Chen: “…”

"Which family are you from?" Bai Jixue said after a moment of hesitation.

"I come from a small, unknown family. Apart from me, the strongest master in the family is the Martial Emperor. Senior, you probably don't know him." Mu Chen said.

Bai Jixue narrowed his eyes and said, "That's quite small. You don't have a family to rely on, but you can come this far. It's really good."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Yes! Mu Chen is very powerful."

Bai Jixue glanced at Ye Shi without saying anything. Ye Shi felt depressed by Bai Jixue's gaze.

"Do you understand formations?" Bai Jixue asked.

"I understand." Mu Chen said.

"Break through the Bai family's Hundred Refinements Killing Formation?" Bai Jixue continued to ask.

"I passed." Mu Chen said respectfully.

Bai Jixue nodded and said, "If that's the case, then it should be okay."

"Senior, I heard that you have disappeared for tens of thousands of years. Since you are still alive, why don't you go out?" Mu Chen asked in confusion.

Bai Jixue looked at Ye Shi and Muchen and sneered, "Do you think I don't want to go out?"

Ye Shi and Muchen looked at each other, confusion flashing across their faces.

Bai Jixue looked at the sky, his face suddenly tense. "You two, come with me. The storm may be coming soon. We can't stay here any longer."

When Mu Chen saw the worry on Bai Jixue's face, he suddenly felt a little strange. Bai Jixue should be a master of the nine-star Martial Saint level. Mu Chen didn't know what could have happened that would make such a master worry so much.
