"Mind, men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Ke Yu seemed to have anticipated her answer, and then he said softly: "Don't think too much, Miss Rong. I just want to protect you."
Protection shit!
He just wanted to take advantage of her.
Yun Zheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, feigning pride and smugness as she said, "Pavilion Master Zuo, to be honest, I already have a husband. He would be furious if he knew I was flirting with a strange man. Besides, he's from the Desolate State Temple, and I absolutely cannot let him down."
"Master Zuo, I appreciate your kindness."
When Ke Yu heard the word "temple", his eyes changed slightly.
"Temple?"
When Yun Zheng heard this, her expression evaded, and she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Stop talking so much, let's go in."
Seeing her expression change, Ke Yu thought she had let something slip and was trying to cover it up in a hurry.
Is she actually related to the people in Huangzhou Temple?
Ke You's heart moved and he stopped forcing it. In fact, he was afraid of getting separated from her, and then it would not be so easy to find the opportunity.
Ke You was in front, Yun Zheng was behind, and the people from the South Peak Organization followed at the end. They entered the strange-looking gray barrier in this order.
The moment Yun Zheng stepped in, she could feel a thin line pulling at her wrist. Her eyes turned cold and she lowered her eyes to look at her wrist, but there was nothing unusual. She still made a quick decision and condensed her spiritual power into a sharp blade, slashing it accurately around her wrist.
In an instant, there was a slight humming sound, as if something was breaking.
That is, at the moment when she used her spiritual power, the totem of the Eastern Temple lit up on the back of her hand, which was particularly obvious.
Yun Zheng took this scene in and immediately concentrated her spiritual power to perform an illusion on the back of her hand, causing the pattern of the totem to change slightly and become a new totem.
Suddenly, her feet felt empty and she stumbled forward.
She tried hard to control her balance and finally avoided falling to the ground in an embarrassing manner.
That was close!
"Someone's coming again." A mocking voice came.
Yun Zheng immediately looked up and saw a group of scattered people. However, this group of people was different from those wandering cultivators outside who were in a dishevel and had dirty clothes. Among this group of people, there were men, women, young and old. They looked like they were from the Shen family or some other powerful force.
The ground here is made of white stone, and there is a layer of white mist lingering more than three inches above the ground, making it look like you are standing on the clouds.
When most people saw Yun Zheng appear, they just glanced at her and thought that her strength was not high and she did not have any outstanding appearance, so they all looked away.
The rest of the people didn't even look at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng looked around calmly and found that there was not even a single person from the South Peak Organization here. Her eyebrows raised slightly.
This alienated realm is probably several times larger than she had imagined.
A young man in black suddenly looked up at the sky and said with gritted teeth, "The time is almost up. This time we must leave this ghost space!"
"It's not so easy to leave here?" said another young man.
Suddenly, an excited voice sounded.
"Stop talking, here it comes!"
Yun Zheng followed the crowd's gaze and looked up, only to see a ladder appear in the sky first. Above the ladder, a bridge of water and fire gradually appeared. After crossing the bridge, a gate similar to an ancient palace finally appeared.
Before Yun Zheng could figure out what these were, people were scrambling to get on the ladder, but their speed was extremely slow, and their faces were filled with emotions such as joy, sorrow, struggle, pain, excitement, and numbness alternating from time to time.
Some people even burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
Others shouted wildly to vent their emotions.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
Yun Zheng was deafened by the noise. She was also shocked. What kind of ladder to heaven was this? It made people look like they were possessed by evil spirits.
Some people were too happy or too sad and fell off the ladder.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, and those who fell down were suddenly awakened. The complicated emotions on their faces disappeared, and were replaced by regret!
One of them suddenly raised his fist and slammed it on the ground, his face furious, "Damn it! Can't I even pass through this Heavenly Ladder of Inquiry?"
Ladder to Heaven?
Yun Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly. She took a step and slowly approached the ladder, looking up and continuing to look at the people climbing.
More and more people fell off, and it was obvious that they had failed.
The Ladder of the Heart, as its name suggests, questions the human soul.
The young man in black who spoke first was actually the first one to climb the ladder and reach the spiritual bridge where water and fire intersected.
The young man in black looked down at the bridge, swallowed silently, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, lifted his foot, and successfully stepped onto the bridge.
The left side is water and the right side is fire, both are extreme temperatures.
It's unbearable.
What's more, these are holy water and holy fire. If the balance is not right, life will be in danger!
Many people who had failed also stared at the young man in black and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Qi Po could actually make it up!"
"I heard he's been here for over a month, and his brother Qi Cong passed through here on the first day. Now I don't know how close he is to the divine inheritance!"
"Qi Cong? But he is one of the six great geniuses of the Barren State?"
"That's him! Qi Cong is incredibly talented. Now, at only thirty years old, he's already broken through to the third level of the Divine Realm! He's one of the people with the best chance of obtaining the divine inheritance. On the other hand, Qi Po, haha, used to be a useless guy who couldn't cultivate divine power. I don't know what luck he got, but he suddenly became able to cultivate divine power a year ago..."
"I heard that the person who helped him repair his useless body was from a small border family. I think their name was something, but I can't remember it clearly! It should be Di Lan or something."
Yun Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be mother?
She looked up at the young man in black. He had a handsome face but a rather unremarkable temperament. He seemed a little timid, but his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like a wicked person.
Someone excitedly said, "I remember that woman's name was Di Lan! Her divine healing skills were truly amazing, but what impressed me most was that her Taoist partner, Yun Junyue, was spotted by Yu Rong, the second daughter of the Yu War God family. She actually declared that she would marry Yun Junyue or kill Di Lan!"
"As a result, Di Lan and Yun Junyue ran away directly. Now the second lady of the Yu family is sending people to hunt them down!"
"I've also heard about this matter. I heard that Miss Yu Er is also here."
"Yes, I saw the second young lady of the Yu family when I came in that day. I have to say, her appearance... is a bit ordinary and old, and she has a very hot temper, but her strength is first-class, not much different from Qi Cong's."
