Perhaps the appearance of the three people startled the crows that were resting, for the crows on the withered tree immediately flapped their wings and flew away, cawing mournfully and dropping a few feathers.
The Tracer reached out, and a jet-black feather landed in his palm. However, the next moment, it was sliced into pieces by the wind element in the Tracer's hand. Suddenly, a rumble of thunder sounded in the dark sky, but the three of them walked directly into the castle.
Before they even reached the castle gate, the door opened automatically. With no one around and the surrounding environment adding to the commotion, any ordinary person would be terrified. However, Xiao stepped right in, causing the dim lights of the entire castle to flicker.
Entering through the main entrance, one is greeted by a vintage leather sofa. In the center of the sofa is a rectangular wooden table, which is empty. However, three people are sitting on the sofa: two men and one woman.
"Oh? You are the last three guests invited by the owner of this castle?" One of the men, who looked refined and wore glasses, spoke up, adjusting his glasses as he spoke. Zhongli and the others glanced at the three without saying a word. Xiao also lowered his eyes and said nothing. Only the Tracer crossed his arms, looked down at the three, and scoffed.
“Everyone’s here, so the game can begin.” The refined gentleman adjusted his glasses and said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Wen, and I’m a white-collar worker.” “I’m Wen Xiaoya, and I’m a student,” the only girl spoke up, sounding gentle and unassuming. Then, the last man also spoke up, saying, “Just call me Sheng Hu. I’m a fitness instructor.”
All three of them turned their gazes toward Zhongli and the other two.
"Nice to meet you. Just call me Zhongli. I'm a free spirit. This is Xiao, and this is the Tracer." Zhongli spoke, and Xiao and the Tracer didn't say anything, but they both nodded in agreement.
"An idler plus two unidentified people, ha, you'll be the first to die." Sheng Hu looked extremely fierce, and his words were very impolite. Xiao's hands slowly clenched into fists, looking like he was about to attack at any moment.
"Tch, keep your mouths shut. When the time comes, the words coming out of your incessant little mouths will cost you your lives. Hahaha, that will be very interesting." The Tracer spoke first, and his words were still impolite.
Sheng Hu's eyes widened, and he was about to punch the tracer in the face when Shen Wen stopped him. Sheng Hu turned around and glared at Shen Wen, who shook his head and said, "There's no need to start a conflict here. As long as we can all get out safely, you can settle your personal grudges later. The most important thing right now is to unite and find out the secret of this castle. Otherwise, we will all die here."
It was obvious that Wen Xiaoya's body trembled involuntarily when Shen Wen said that she would die here.
Xiao and the other two didn't change their facial expressions much. For Xiao and Zhongli, all they had to do was bring Fanan's soul back. As for the Pursuer, he was pushed down by Wendy, and since he had nowhere to vent his resentment, this place might be the perfect place for him to do so.
Of course, we'll have to settle the score with Wendy later.
"Achoo! Oops...who's talking about me?" Wendy, who was drinking fine wine on the boat, suddenly sneezed. He looked left and right but didn't see anything, so he put the little incident out of his mind and continued drinking his wine.
Apart from Zhong Li and the other two, Shen Wen and his group began to search for useful items in the living room.
"Lord Zhongli." Xiao walked to Zhongli's side. Zhongli nodded. The three souls of Fanan were all upstairs, and each of them had a mysterious seal locking the door. With Zhongli's strength, breaking through these small seals was naturally no problem.
However, upon entering the castle, Zhongli felt that his strength was somewhat suppressed, but it was not a big deal; he could still roam freely within the castle.
However, Zhongli was also very curious about what else was hidden inside this ancient castle.
After Zhongli nodded, Xiao retreated behind Zhongli and appeared on the second floor in an instant.
The seal on the door flickered briefly upon Xiao's arrival. Xiao's hand touched the door, attempting to break the seal. Wind elemental energy flickered continuously in Xiao's hand, but the seal remained unmoved.
Xiao's actions also alerted Shen Wen and the other two. Sheng Hu, who had the most volatile temper, shouted, "Are you trying to cause trouble for us? Get down here!"
Xiao remained unmoved, but the wind elemental power in his hand intensified.
"Uh..." As a result, he was directly bounced away. Xiao couldn't help but take a few steps back, look at his hand, and then look at the seal in front of him. The intact seal made Xiao's back molars ache slightly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhongli." Xiao instantly returned to Zhongli's back, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head deeply. "It's alright. The power is suppressed, so it's normal that you can't break through. Go ahead and do it." After saying that, he glanced at the restless Pursuer.
"Oh? You said it yourself, so I'll disregard the consequences." The wind blade rolled in the tracer's hand and flew directly towards the wall in front of him, leaving a deep mark on the wall after it made contact.
"Soaring through the sky on the wind." The Tracer flew directly into the sky, turned slightly in the air, and a rectangular space appeared in front of him. The space contained a large amount of brutal wind elemental power, which forcefully shattered the wall in front of him.
That wasn't the end of it. After receiving Zhongli's casual approval, the Pursuer had a place to vent his resentment. He unleashed wind blades recklessly, and tiny wind blades continued to wreak havoc.
Shen Wen and his two companions were huddled together, trembling with fear. How could these people be so terrifying? Not only could they fly, but they could also teleport. Were these really the idle people that Zhongli had mentioned?
More like an immortal!
"No need to worry, this is just a normal phenomenon." Zhongli noticed the three people's unease and fear and reassured them.
You call this a normal phenomenon?
Do you have some misunderstanding about what constitutes a normal phenomenon?!
The three had a lot of complaints in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say a word, for fear of accidentally angering the three immortals.
Perhaps the Pursuer's excessive behavior displeased the castle's owner, for many black knives flew out from the shadows and headed straight for the Pursuer.
The Pursuer's eyes narrowed, and he instantly flashed, the wind blades and the black swords canceling each other out, but many black swords still stabbed towards the Pursuer.
The sound of clanging echoed as the black blades were blocked by Zhongli's shield. Zhongli glanced casually into the shadows, and Xiao and Puyuan had already stabbed forward.
