Snap!
Under the pull of true energy, the door of the earthen house broke and flew away. Before everyone could enter, a strong suction force suddenly emerged in the dark earthen house. The first few people were caught off guard and were sucked in. The screams stopped after a few breaths.
The others were horrified, but they had no way to resist under such a strong suction. However, in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of independent cultivators controlled by Xiang Wenli all struggled and sank into it.
The pitch-black earthen house seemed to have eaten its fill, turning into a blood-red color that was extremely dazzling to the eyes.
"The compass is wrong, this is clearly a dead end!"
Du Yuan was shocked and tried his best to break free from the suction, but he saw that only Wan Lingmo was by his side, while Wei Leyan and Dong Jinghuan were nowhere to be seen.
His expression changed slightly, and when he looked back, his expression became even uglier.
They saw that the "death gate" opposite had been opened at some point. Dong Jinghuan and Wei Leyan broke free from the suction early and ran towards the "death gate", and were about to enter it.
Du Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and he shouted, "Break!"
A circle of talisman shadows suddenly emerged from around him and suddenly exploded!
The shock wave from the explosion actually offset the suction for a moment, causing it to instantly move away and rush towards Dong Jinghuan.
"Brother, did you destroy your own natal rune?!"
Wan Lingmo sensed the fluctuations and, regardless of the physical pain, he directly sacrificed a bead and threw it at the door of the earthen house, which exploded in the middle.
Although the suction force it offset was not as strong as Du Yuan's, it was enough to allow him to break free and follow Du Yuan.
Xiang Wenli saw this and immediately stopped hiding his strength. His Jindan cultivation burst out and he tried to break free from the suction.
But after one round of outbursts, it had no effect at all except for making him retreat a few steps.
"I have refined so much soul essence, but my cultivation level is not as good as these true disciples."
Xiang Wenli's face was grim, but he didn't hesitate. He took out the only magical weapon he had and threw it at the door, shouting in a sinister voice, "Explode!"
boom!
He also managed to escape the suction force and scrambled towards the "death door" that was about to close.
"Father!"
Xiang Hongyu roared in despair. He didn't expect that Dong Jinghuan and Xiang Wenli would not save him.
The master is in a deep sleep and has lost contact. How can he, with his mere foundation-building cultivation level, escape from the suction range?
He gritted his teeth and gripped the ground tightly, his fingers turning bright red, but he still couldn't stop himself from moving towards the earthen house.
Listening to the countless wailing sounds coming from the house behind him, Xiang Hongyu gritted his teeth in hatred. In the end, he still couldn't wait for his master to appear and was dragged into the mud house, leaving only a roar that spread throughout the village.
"Xiang Wenli, Dong Jinghuan! If I could survive, I would make you wait... for a miserable death!"
…
Bang!
The "Death Gate" was completely closed and everything became quiet.
Behind the Death Gate was a narrow passage. The spirit stone lamps on both sides of the wall were emitting a faint cold light, illuminating the faces of Dong Jinghuan and Wei Leyan.
Xiang Sheng glanced at the two of them and walked forward silently.
She didn't want to save anyone, including Dong Jinghuan.
The Jindan cultivator's cultivation level is much higher than hers. If she travels with him, there is no guarantee that she will not be abandoned in times of danger. It is better for her to travel alone.
But unexpectedly, the final result was the same.
After a moment of silence, Dong Jinghuan suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "Junior Sister Xiang, it would be fine if you didn't remind us, but Patriarch Xiang is your biological father, and you don't care?"
"Brother Dong, didn't you open this door?"
Wei Leyan raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked Xiang Sheng up and down, "Is it this girl?"
"good."
Dong Jinghuan nodded slightly, looked at Xiang Sheng and said, "If I hadn't paid close attention to her and noticed her movements, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape from the danger in time, let alone remind you in time."
Xiang Sheng pretended not to hear their conversation and walked forward with all his focus.
Wei Leyan was not prepared to let the matter go peacefully, and took the initiative to ask, "Junior Sister Xiang, this is clearly a death gate, how do you know it is a way out?"
Xiang Sheng paused and said calmly, "Brother Wei, I am just an ordinary person and do not deserve the title of Junior Sister."
"How can a mere mortal understand the Eight Gates?"
Wei Leyan chuckled, "Even Senior Brother Dong's compass didn't work, but you chose the right path. Junior Sister, do you think I'm a fool?"
"Brother, you are too kind."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, "I just know a few more secrets here than you do, it's really nothing. If we talk about cultivation, Senior Brother can crush me to death with just one finger."
"secret?"
Dong Jinghuan and Wei Leyan were both slightly moved when they heard this.
Wei Leyan was even more decisive. He flashed past Xiang Sheng and walked in front, saying with a smile, "Junior sister, it's better for you to walk in the middle to avoid danger. Your weak body can't withstand a single blow."
Xiang Sheng lowered his eyes slightly, his tone unchanged, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Dong Jinghuan frowned and then let go.
He couldn't tell whether Xiang Sheng's words were true or not, but he was able to escape from the death gate this time because of Xiang Sheng, so it wouldn't hurt to believe her this time.
For the rest of the journey, the three of them remained silent.
There were no forks in this passage, so the three of them didn't need to make a choice. They just kept going down the same path until darkness. After an unknown amount of time, they finally saw some light.
Wei Leyan held up a protective magic weapon and walked out first. Xiang Sheng waited inside for a moment, and then heard a voice coming from the white light.
"Safety."
Xiang Sheng took a step forward without hesitation.
After the dazzling white light, a lush medicinal garden came into view. The plants in it were of various shapes. Xiang Sheng only recognized a small part of them at a glance.
"Brother Dong, come here quickly."
Wei Leyan excitedly called out, "I wonder how long this medicine garden has been sealed. The spiritual materials here must be very old!"
Dong Jinghuan went up without saying anything, and together with Wei Leyan, he shot out a stream of true energy to hit the medicine garden barrier.
