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 fans.
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.
He wanted to see what tricks these wandering souls were trying to play, to see them kill each other, and to see if he could do it.
"Whoever can collect 200 black nameplates can leave here. If not, everyone who stays here will die!"
The purple wandering souls finally revealed their purpose, which was just as Pei Zhenghai had guessed, which was to make them kill each other.
Pei Zhenghai's face suddenly darkened. "Do you think we will fall for your trick?"
The purple wandering soul laughed, "If you want to stay alive, you have no choice but to do this. I want to see how long you can hold on."
After saying that, the aura on its body suddenly sank, releasing a strong murderous aura.
"After half a quarter of an hour, if the first person hasn't come out yet, I will kill one person. After a quarter of an hour, if that hasn't happened yet, I will kill two people, and so on, until everyone is killed."
"Don't be fooled by these wandering souls. With so many of us, if we work together, we may be able to get out." Yuan Ran said loudly.
Neither Ji Shang Sect nor You Mo Sect responded to him. The former did not believe that Zi Xiao Sect was sincere, while the disciples of You Mo Sect had other ideas.
"Don't waste your time, they won't agree." Pei Zhenghai had never expected this since he heard the game that Youhun talked about.
The three sects are all full of contradictions, and the possibility of working together to fight the enemy is almost zero. It is better to figure out how to protect yourself in this game.
"Our current situation is very bad, and the chance of being targeted is very high." Pei Zhenghai transmitted a message to Yuan Ran.
Yuan Ran's expression changed slightly, "Brother Pei, do you mean that Ji Shang Sect and You Mo Sect will join forces to deal with us?"
"There are four of us, and we have the most number plates. There are five from the Ji Shang Sect, and only three from the You Mo Sect. If they don't deal with us, who will they deal with?"
“Although there are many people in Jishang Sect, the only one who has reached the Great Perfection of Out-of-Body Realm is not a genius. The three people from Youmo Sect may not be defeated. Conversely, Jishang Sect also believes that they may not be defeated by Youmo Sect. But what about us? Brother Pei, I am a genius. I can fight three people at once. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, they must deal with me first.”
Pei Zhenghai did not forget to praise himself when he was analyzing. The originally serious atmosphere was suddenly dispersed by his words.
"Brother Pei, you didn't say that last time at the Weapon Tomb." Yuan Ran called his name helplessly.
"Don't worry about these little things." Pei Zhenghai said, and then sent a message to them: "My guess has a 90% chance of coming true. You should be careful later. There is a high possibility that the Ghost Demon Sect will be the first to take action. Pay more attention."
"We understand." The three nodded.
At this moment, Lu Zhiwei, who had been looking at them with malicious eyes, suddenly smiled.
"I think Brother Pei's suggestion is very good. If we join forces, we may be able to fight our way out."
Pei Zhenghai exclaimed in his heart. This guy didn't actually do what he said. What was he trying to do?
"Although those wandering spirits said that they would release a person as long as we collected 200 black cards, who knows if what they said is true? What if they just want to trick us into killing each other, or trick us into handing over the house numbers, and then kill us once they get them?" Lu Zhiwei analyzed with narrowed eyes.
Ge Haoming glanced at them and sneered, "I agree with what Brother Lu said. The more powerful the wandering spirits are, the more cunning and treacherous they are. They must be eager to see us kill each other and fall into their trap. When we are almost done fighting, it will be effortless for them to attack us."
"There is a problem. It is a huge problem." Pei Zhenghai sent a message to Yuan Ran and the other two without changing his expression. "The more they act as if they are working together, the more problems there are."
"Really? But I think they sound quite sincere in what they said." Junior Brother Nan was a little surprised.
Pei Zhenghai sneered, "A dog will always eat shit, how can you expect them to change? It's easier to pray for someone to come and save us."
"So what should we do now? If we don't agree, should we just go against them?"
"Let's pretend to agree to them. We just need to be careful." Yuan Ran finished speaking, and then sent a voice message to Ge Haoming and Lu Zhiwei: "I agree with your proposal. In this way, the three out-of-body great perfections will be in the front. With their combined strength, they can attack a path through a surprise attack. The rest of us can quickly pass through and fight our way out. It should be no problem. Once we walk out of the side hall, we can escape on our own. There is no need to fight these wandering souls to the death."
"Okay, I agree." Ge Haoming agreed without saying a word and exchanged glances with Lu Zhiwei without leaving any trace.
"I agree too." Lu Zhiwei said with a smile.
"Yuanran, I am now 100% sure that they must have secretly joined forces. Do you want to make a bet?" Pei Zhenghai curled the corners of his mouth.
"Even without betting, I also know that they have joined forces." Yuan Ran said calmly. The two thought their actions were very covert, but they didn't know that he had seen it all.
"Oh, what a pity." Pei Zhenghai was helpless. It was really boring to have such a smart junior brother.
Yuan Ran looked at Junior Brothers Nan and Zhou, who had been a little nervous just now. Knowing that Senior Brother Pei was trying to ease the atmosphere, he didn't say anything else.
"Let's go, everyone be careful, this might be a tough battle."
