Gao Han opened his eyes and saw a stone tablet in front of him, emitting a solemn aura, rising into the sky.
He looked up and saw three big red characters written on the stone tablet, each stroke as good as an iron pen and silver hook.
Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals.
He remembered the old man saying that the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals was a fairy palace, and this might be the entrance, but how to get in?
Gao Han touched it with his hand, but the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals did not react at all. However, the feel of the stone monument reminded him of something, and he immediately took out two doorplates.
The feel of the Crystal Diamond and Purple Gold brands are actually the same, but their appearance is different, so both types of doorplates should be usable.
"Hand over a house number!"
At this moment, a sound of robbery suddenly came from behind, and at the same time, there was an attack full of dangerous atmosphere.
It was as if Gao Han had eyes on the back of his head. He dodged the opponent's attack by turning sideways and turned to look at the person who attacked him.
An evil cultivator, with an uncomfortable feeling about him, a few traces of blood in his eyes, and a look of ill intent when he looked at him, and his eyes greedily looked at the doorplate in his hand from time to time.
He had been waiting here for a long time. The black card that originally brought him in was stolen because he had the bad luck of encountering other sects.
Later, he came here with some disciples from other sects and discovered the existence of the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals. He knew that there was an immortal palace inside.
Needless to say, he could guess that there must be a lot of good things in the Immortal Palace, but he didn't have a door number, so he could only wait outside the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals for others to come.
The evil cultivator waited until his lips were almost blistered, and finally Gao Han arrived.
Although the way this person appeared seemed a bit strange.
"Have you been waiting here for a long time? Have everyone else gone in?" Gao Han asked calmly.
"Hand over the door number, and I might tell you if I'm happy." The evil cultivator laughed evilly and did not take the other party seriously.
Gao Han raised his eyebrows, put away the two doorplates and drew his sword.
After a moment, the evil cultivator knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and answered his questions honestly.
"Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators who entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Path have already entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Monument. The Zixiao Sect you are asking about should be the first batch to enter."
"Is there a person named Zhongli Tingzhou who also went in?" Gao Han asked with a faint hope.
The evil cultivator shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't know who Zhongli Tingzhou is. When I found this place, people from all the sects had already gone in. The person you are looking for should also be inside."
Gao Han also guessed that no matter whether Zhongli Tingzhou was the same as him, the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals had the greatest reputation, and both sides would think that the other party was in the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, the evil cultivator moved secretly, and while he had no time to react, he jumped up and fled at high speed.
Gao Han ignored him, ran away, put away his knife, came to the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals, and took out the purple gold medal without hesitation.
Zhongli Tingzhou only had the purple gold medal on him, so he could only use it to get in. He didn't know if the exits of different house numbers were the same. To be on the safe side, he decided to enter using the same house number as him.
As soon as the purple gold plate touched the Monument of Ten Thousand Immortals, a door appeared and sucked him in at the same time.
When he saw the exit, Gao Han grabbed the purple gold plate floating in the center and then fell into a dark passage.
A hideous face suddenly appeared before him.
Gao Han immediately slashed forward with his sword, and this sword directly mobilized the power of heaven and earth.
The owner of the ferocious face disappeared before he could even let out a scream. With a ding-dong sound, a green bead fell at his feet.
Gao Han didn't pick it up immediately because more strange souls pounced towards him.
He cut several of them with one knife, and then a few round beads fell out with a thud.
His strength had improved a lot compared to when he was outside Wanxiandao, especially his use of energy, which was so skillful that even he was a little surprised.
But he soon felt relieved because he knew why he was like that.
Although he was forced to stay in the graveyard during that time, he was the one who benefited in the end, because all his insights turned into experience, which made his knife more mature.
Hundreds of strange souls were soon frightened by his killing, and the rest fled.
Gao Han guessed that this was probably what the old man called a wandering soul, without a body, only a semi-solid soul.
The souls can take human or animal form, but without exception they all have green faces and fangs.
He picked up all the dozens of beads that fell on the ground, and then determined that these beads could be used to absorb and enhance his strength.
After a while, dozens of green beads turned into powder, and all the energy inside was absorbed into his body.
Gao Han immediately felt that his cultivation had improved significantly, and he was able to break through to the early stage of out-of-body state soon.
"At this rate, if I absorb more cyan beads, I should be able to break through the initial stage. But we should look for Zhongli first. I don't know if he went crazy after finding out that I'm not here."
Gao Han whispered softly, shook off the powder on his fingertips, and walked forward.
A tense standoff took place near a palace not too far from his position.
The side hall was silent, with only the occasional roar of wandering souls coming from outside.
Junior Brother Nan looked at the disciple from the Jishang Sect opposite him with a vigilant look on his face.
The team leader was Ge Haoming, who originally came in with a dozen disciples. Now there were only four people left by his side, and the rest had been separated from them.
Under the impact of a large number of wandering souls, almost every faction lost people. Junior Brother Nan and Zhou Zechang were also part of the large group.
But they were lucky enough to meet Yuan Ran and Pei Zhenghai who came in later.
"Senior Brother, our luck is so bad that we actually entered the same side hall with people from the Ji Shang Sect and the You Mo Sect." Junior Brother Nan's heart tightened, wondering if this was a conspiracy against them.
The people of the Jishang Sect are cautious and may not dare to attack them, but the people of the Youmo Sect are different.
Once these people attack you from behind, you may not even know how you died, so you must be extra vigilant.
Yuan Ran and Pei Zhenghai did not look at the Ji Shang Sect or the You Mo Sect. Instead, they looked outside the side hall with serious expressions.
"What we should be concerned about now is what is the purpose of these wandering souls driving us to this side hall." Yuan Ran always had a bad premonition.
"There are a total of ten purple wandering souls outside. This is an unusually large number, but they are out in full force. It seems that they are really planning a big move."
Pei Zhenghai glanced at the Ji Shang Sect and the You Mo Sect opposite him. It was probably no accident that these two sects appeared here. They were probably forced here by the army of wandering souls.
"I counted, and including those from the Supreme Sect and the Nether Demon Sect, there are only three people who have reached the great perfection of the out-of-body state. It is extremely difficult to break through the encirclement of ten purple wandering souls." Pei Zhenghai transmitted a message to Yuan Ran.
Their luck is extremely bad, as the people gathered here are all the weaker ones in the sect.
I don’t know if it was intentional by those wandering souls or just luck. If it’s the latter, then it’s really unlucky.
However, there is someone who is more worried than them, and that is Ge Haoming.
Although he showed no reaction on the surface, he was already afraid in his heart. Not only was he threatened by the purple wandering soul, but he was also threatened by the Zixiao Sect and the Youmo Sect.
Among the six people in the Jishang Sect, only one senior brother has reached the state of out-of-body perfection, but the opponent's strength is so great that even he cannot defeat him, which can be said to be useless.
If Zixiao Sect or Youmo Sect wanted to kill them, it would not be difficult, and they could even use the help of wandering souls.
Ge Haoming noticed from the corner of his eye that Lu Zhiwei from the Phantom Demon Sect looked at him with a sinister look from time to time. He immediately gritted his teeth and quickly thought of a way to escape.
At this moment, a purple wandering soul appeared at the door of the side hall, and its cold and arrogant red eyes swept over them one by one, as if looking at dead objects.
"Today, none of you can leave here. If you want to survive, let's play a game."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what game this wandering spirit was talking about.
Forcing them to this side hall just to play a game with them?
What a joke, do these wandering souls want to keep them as pets and keep them for entertainment?
"What game?" Pei Zhenghai asked calmly.
他倒要看看,这些游魂想玩什么把戏,真要看他们自相残杀,也要看能不能做得到。
“谁要是能凑够两百块黑铭牌,谁就能离开这里,凑不够,最后留下来的人都要死!”
紫色游魂终于说出它们的目的,正如裴诤海猜测的,就是想让他们自相残杀。
裴诤海脸色蓦然一沉,“你觉得我们会上你们的当吗?”
紫色游魂笑了,“想要活命,你只能这么做,本座倒想看看,你能坚持到什么时候。”
说罢,它身上的气息猛然一沉,释放出强烈杀气。
“半刻钟后,如果还没有第一个人出来,本座会杀一个人,一刻钟后,如果还没有,本座会杀两个人,以此类推,直到杀光所有人为止。”
“大家别被这些游魂骗了,我们这么多人,齐心协力的话,未必不能闯出去。”元然大声说道。
极上宗和幽魔宗都没回应他,前者不相信紫霄宗是真心实意的,幽魔宗的弟子则另有想法。
“别白费功夫了,他们不会答应的。”裴诤海自听到游魂说的游戏后,就没奢望过这一点。
三个门派皆是矛盾重重,想要做到齐心协力抗敌,可能性几乎为零,还不如想好怎么在这场游戏中保全自己。
“我们现在的处境很不好,被盯上的几率很高。”裴诤海传音给元然。
元然的脸色微微一变,“裴师兄的意思是,极上宗和幽魔宗会联手对付我们吗?”
“我们有四个人,身上的门牌是最多的,极上宗五个人,幽魔宗才三个人,他们不对付我们,对付谁。”
“极上宗人虽多,但是唯一的出窍大圆满并不是天骄,幽魔宗三人未必打不过,反之,极上宗也认为自己未必打不过幽魔宗,可我们是什么情况,裴师兄我可是天骄,一打三都没问题,为了解决掉我这个隐患,他们肯定要先对付我的。”
裴诤海分析的时候不忘夸自己一把,本来严肃的气氛被他这么一说,突然就散了。
“裴师兄,上次在兵器冢那边你可没这么说。”元然无奈地喊他的名字。
“这些小事就不要在意了。”裴诤海说完,又传音给他们:“我的猜测有百分之九十的机率会成真,你们待会小心一点,幽魔宗第一个出手的可能性很大,多注意一下。”
“我们知道了。”三人点点头。
这时,原本一直用不怀好意的眼睛打量他们的陆志为突然笑了。
“我觉得裴兄的提议挺好的,我们联手的话,未必不能杀出去。”
裴诤海心中咦地一声,这货居然没有像他说的那样,他想搞什么鬼?
“那些游魂虽然说只要凑够两百块黑牌就放一个人,但谁知道它们说的是不是真的,万一只是为了骗我们自相残杀,或者骗我们把门牌交出来,等一拿到手,就将我们灭口呢。”陆志为眯着眼分析道。
葛浩明看了他们一眼,冷笑地说道:“我赞同陆兄说的话,越是强大的游魂,越是狡猾奸诈,它们肯定巴不得看到我们自相残杀,落入它们的陷阱,等我们打得差不多了,再出手就可以不费吹灰之力了吧。”
“有问题,太有问题了。”裴诤海面不改色地给元然三人传音,“他们越表现得齐心协力,越有问题。”
“真的吗,可我看他们说的还挺真诚的啊?”南师弟有些惊讶。
裴诤海冷笑,“狗改不了吃屎,你指望他们改?还不如祈祷有人来救我们更容易实现。”
“那现在要怎么办?不答应,直接跟他们撕破脸皮吗?”
“假装答应他们吧,我们自己小心一点就是了。”元然说完,然后传音给葛浩明和陆志为:“我同意你们的提议,这样,由三位出窍大圆满在前面,他们的合力,突袭的话可以攻出一条路,其余人快速通过,杀出去的话应该没有问题,一旦走出偏殿,我们便自行逃命吧,没必要跟这些游魂死磕到底。”
“好,我同意。”葛浩明二话不说就答应了,不露痕迹地与陆志为对视了一眼。
“我也同意。”陆志为笑呵呵地说道。
“元然,我现在可以百分之百肯定,他们肯定已经暗中联手,要不要来打个赌?”裴诤海勾了下嘴角。
“不赌,我也知道他们联手了。”元然淡定道,两人自以为动作很隐蔽,殊不知,他已经看在眼里。
“哎呀,真可惜。”裴诤海无奈,有个聪明的师弟真是无趣。
元然看向刚刚还有些紧张的南师弟和周师兄,知道裴师兄是为了缓解气氛,就没有再说什么。
“走吧,大家小心一点,接下来许是一场硬仗。”
