Although the old man in black was incredibly powerful, many people still remained at the scene.
Such an incredible opportunity is something everyone would want to seize.
If you happen to get incredibly lucky, it could be your chance to become an immortal!
Besides, even if things don't go well, staying on site to watch the excitement and broaden one's horizons is still a good thing.
"Fellow Daoists, do you think that young man will really be able to come out?"
The gray-robed old monk looked grave and quickly began discussing the matter with his allies.
The one-armed old man, equally surprised and uncertain, cautiously said:
"Logically speaking, it's absolutely impossible, since no one in history has ever managed to get out of this group."
Even the Holy Lord of the Boundless Holy Land in the Southern Region treated that person with utmost respect, indicating that the other party's identity was far beyond imagination.
Now it seems he clearly has a grudge against that kid. Since he said the other party is still alive, it's unlikely he was just making things up.
The other two nodded in agreement, solemnly echoing:
"That's right, otherwise, why would a dignified Ninth Tribulation cultivator willingly wait here?"
"But Lu Zhi Qiu and that guy surnamed Zeng are really too cunning."
"If they had run any slower, they probably would have all died here."
However, after saying that, the group couldn't help but feel a sense of shared vulnerability.
Previously, they were the most terrifying people present.
But now, if they were to face the people from the Wuji Holy Land, they would be completely powerless to fight back.
That's a Ninth Tribulation cultivator!
Even within the entire Kunlun Realm, he is a true big shot.
What terrified them most was the respectful attitude of the other cultivators who had undergone tribulation towards the man in black.
This is very abnormal.
Logically speaking, even if the old man in black was a ninth-tribulation cultivator, they wouldn't act so obsequiously and fawningly.
The Tribulation Transcending Stage is a major hurdle for cultivators, and those who cross it with ordinary cultivators can be said to be from two completely different worlds.
Once you step into this realm, it's equivalent to gaining a certain noble status and having the right to stand on equal footing with other cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Even though he has only just entered the Tribulation Transcending stage, no one will look down on him anymore.
Yet they treated the old man in black with such respect and courtesy.
The key point is that the man in black acted as if it were perfectly normal.
That's intriguing.
But it's obvious without even guessing that the identity and strength of this old man in black are far more terrifying than anyone imagines.
Immediately, the onlookers began to discuss the matter.
"Sigh, why did they have to provoke someone like that? Whether that young prodigy can get out or not, he's doomed."
"Heh, just youthful arrogance. I've seen plenty of these arrogant geniuses."
"It's the people from the Myriad Flowers Sect who actually dare to stay here. Do they think that just because their sect leader has arrived, Ouyang Zhongtian won't dare to touch them?"
Some people sighed softly, some looked indifferent, and some gloated on the sidelines.
At this moment, Xia Qingyan's pretty face was almost completely scrunched up, and she looked worried and distressed.
I originally thought that Young Master Chu's only enemies were the Xuanming Sect and the Tianyao Sect.
Only now did I realize that those two sects were just playing house.
The real mastermind behind it all is so terrifying that even a ninth-tribulation cultivator is willing to act as his lackey!
"I hope Young Master Chu doesn't come out so soon, otherwise it would be better to die inside."
Xia Qingyan prayed silently in her heart, her eyes filled with apprehension and worry.
Beside her, a middle-aged woman dressed in a snow-white fox fur coat had her brows furrowed.
It was Qi Xinru, the sect leader of the Wanhua Sect, who had rushed over from behind. She was a cultivator who had survived four Heavenly Tribulations.
Accompanying her was the leader of another sect, a cultivator at the third tribulation stage.
Xia Qingyan tugged at her master's sleeve, saying worriedly:
"Master, the Boundless Saint Lord has taken people out, he must be looking for trouble with Senior Zeng. Let's go help him quickly."
Qi Xinru was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but fall silent.
She had already heard a detailed report from the elders of her sect about how the elders and disciples were first besieged by the Heavenly Demon Sect and then harassed by Ouyang Zhongtian of the Purple Cloud Palace.
She was very grateful to Chu Mo, but now...
The Wanhua Sect itself is in a difficult situation, so how can it have the strength to help others?
Moreover, the enemy she had provoked was far too powerful, exceeding her capacity to bear it; she could only seek revenge in the next life.
As the head of a sect, Qi Xinru was never lacking in rationality, so she solemnly instructed:
"Yan'er, the matter of your rescue must never be mentioned again."
"As for the debts of gratitude I owe, I can only repay them when I have the chance, definitely not now!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyan immediately looked anxious and panicked. Her silver hat jingled loudly as she shook it, and she whispered:
"Master, Young Master Chu has no relation to us, yet he intervened to save us, thus offending the Purple Cloud Palace and the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Now that he's in trouble, how can we stand idly by? If word gets out, our Wan Hua Sect will be ridiculed by our fellow practitioners."
Elder Liang Caiyun also hurriedly tried to persuade her:
"Sect Master, Qingyan's words are not without reason. Isn't this too heartless?"
Qi Xinru calmly shook her head: "Elder Liang, this concerns the survival of the sect. How can we act on emotion?"
"My mind is made up. I absolutely cannot get involved in this matter. I will simply wait for the right opportunity!"
Hearing her master's cold words, Xia Qingyan was immediately disheartened.
But a vague idea kept welling up inside her...
Just as she was lost in thought, a chorus of exclamations suddenly came from the lakeside.
"Look, the magic array barrier beneath the lake seems to be disappearing..."
"Are you kidding me? How could this be... Holy crap, it's actually true?!"
"If the magic array disappears, wouldn't we all be able to go down and look for opportunities? Damn, I'm going to become an immortal! Hahaha..."
...
Countless people roared excitedly, their expressions becoming increasingly frenzied.
Below, besides its own inherent opportunities, lies a hidden treasure that grants free access to the Burial God Abyss.
Once I obtain that divine artifact that can make one an immortal, I will become another immortal in tens of thousands of years, living as long as the heavens!
Even if the barrier disappears, it doesn't necessarily mean that the restricted area has become safe.
But it undoubtedly opens up many more possibilities.
All the cultivators present were beginning to get restless.
Excited eyes, fixed intently on the changes on the lake's surface, poised to pounce.
The once calm and still lake surface was now violently churning and boiling.
It was as if some mysterious, enormous creature was waiting to hatch.
