Chapter 272
After entering the secret passage, Gu Shihan and his companions rushed all the way in the direction indicated by the light emitted by the scales.
The secret passage was filled with damp mist, and water drops fell on the walls from time to time, making crisp sounds.
Everyone's minds were completely focused on finding the holy relic as quickly as possible, and they had no time to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter some small groups of demons coming to harass them, but for them, these low-level demons could not pose too much of a threat. They would avoid them if they could, and kill them if they couldn't.
On this day, they once again ran into the demon army that was reinforcing the battlefield between immortals and demons. Gu Shihan led everyone to try to take a detour, but their tracks were still discovered.
Gu Shihan swung the sword in his hand, and the demons fell to the ground one after another as the sword shadows intersected. Other companions also displayed their magical powers and cast all kinds of gorgeous spells to resolve the attacks time and time again.
The battle on the border between immortals and demons became more and more intense. Not only did countless human cultivators suffer casualties, but the demons were not much better off.
At first, it was the low-level monks who went into battle, and now the high-level monks have to join in the battle as well. Fortunately, everyone worked together to seal the road to the First Heaven, otherwise the First Heaven would have been the first place to fall.
It is said that the Third Heaven and the Fourth Heaven have also joined the battle. It can be said that the entire world of immortals and demons is in chaos and a melee has already begun.
Gu Shihan and his companions followed the instructions on the map and moved forward. For some unknown reason, they encountered one problem after another along the way and were in life-and-death situations several times.
Just as everyone was repelling the demon pursuers once again, a portal shining with colorful light suddenly appeared in front of them.
The portal emanated powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Gu Shihan approached with the scales, and the scales shone brightly.
"It seems that the holy object is behind this." Gu Shihan said. Everyone took a deep breath and pushed open the door together.
Inside was a quiet hall, in the center of which was suspended a precious orb emitting a holy glow. It was undoubtedly a holy object.
However, when Gu Shihan reached out to take it, a large number of formation restrictions suddenly emerged around him.
Everyone worked together to break the formation. When they were about to break the last restriction, the woman from before suddenly appeared, ran quickly towards the bead, and tried to take it away.
As she approached, a ripple flashed by and knocked her several meters away.
"Mine, the holy pearl is mine, haha... I will soon be the master of the three realms. All humans, demons and monsters are stepping stones for me. The fairy world is no more than that and will soon become the back garden of my clan." The woman laughed wildly.
"What's wrong with Shi Han? He doesn't look like a good person? Where did his previous mysterious personality go?" Wen Xin asked in a low voice.
"I think so too. She looks crazy. How about we try to get some information out of her?" Situ Tinglang asked.
"Sure!" Gu Shihan looked at the woman calmly and said, "Senior, I wonder what you need me to do next?!"
"Ah! What should I do? Let me think about it. You go and get the holy pearl for me. I will use this holy pearl to build a bridge to bring the people of my clan to the fairyland to enjoy happiness." The woman calmed down a little.
"A member of your clan? What does that mean? You are not from our fairy world? Could it be that the ancient people still exist?" Shi Qinghan asked.
A trace of regret flashed across the woman's eyes, and she smiled and said, "I was thinking that the holy pearl could quell the war, so that our people could be free and live freely. Don't think about it, go and get the holy pearl for me."
Gu Shihan and the others looked at each other and moved towards the bead at the same time. However, the bead had a kind of repulsive force that made everyone's movements somewhat difficult. They could only move towards the bead step by step.
The burning eagerness in the woman's eyes once again shocked everyone present.
Gu Shihan's lips moved slightly, and a subtle voice reached everyone's ears: "Everyone, please be careful. In my opinion, this mysterious bead may not be a good thing. Let me take it off personally! I'm afraid this woman is not simple either!"
After saying that, she flipped her right hand suddenly, and a talisman flashing with strange light appeared in her hand.
Gu Shihan was muttering to himself at a very fast pace, as if he was chanting some ancient and mysterious spell.
As her chanting sounded, the talisman instantly burst into a dazzling light and turned into a stream of light that shot straight towards the woman.
The woman obviously did not expect Gu Shihan to suddenly attack, and was caught off guard for a moment.
Although she tried her best to dodge, she was still a step too late. She heard a dull "bang" and the talisman hit her solidly.
In an instant, the woman let out a scream of extreme pain, which was creepy.
After careful observation, everyone discovered that it was actually a binding talisman.
Once hit by this talisman, the victim's body will be unable to move for a short period of time and can only surrender.
The woman was staring at Gu Shihan with anger on her face, and she shouted in anger, "How dare you commit treason, you despicable and shameless person, you actually dared to plot against me in secret! Don't blame me for settling the score later."
Facing the woman's angry rebuke, Gu Shihan sneered and said fearlessly: "Humph, I have already sensed your ill intentions from your previous words and deeds. If we don't take the initiative today, I'm afraid we will all be doomed!"
While the woman was tied up and unable to move, the others seized the opportunity and rushed towards the holy bead that was emitting an alluring light like a tide.
But who would have thought that just as they were about to approach the holy pearl, the originally quiet surroundings suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.
All of a sudden, countless rays of light intertwined together, forming an extremely powerful impact force that hit everyone hard.
Faced with this sudden powerful force, Mo Yu and the others were knocked flying on the spot, spitting blood.
Gu Shihan got up, gritted his teeth, supported his body tightly, and approached the holy pearl step by step.
She moved her hands rapidly, continuously injecting the two completely opposite spiritual powers of light and darkness contained in her body into the weakest part of the restriction.
Seeing Gu Shihan fighting so hard, the others did not dare to hold back any longer. They all used all their strength, gathering all their spiritual power into a torrent, rushing towards those formations and restrictions...
With everyone's concerted efforts, the restriction gradually loosened. Gu Shihan seized the opportunity and tried to grab the holy bead.
Before he touched the bead, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of extreme danger. When he opened his third eye and took a look, his heart almost stopped.
