Mu Qingtong lost interest in the ga after playing a round of cards, and the remaining three continued to gather around the silver stump to play Landlords.
Cha Naixue stood in the dark and quietly observed Xia Feng for a while; her childhood friend was still the sa as before: casual and disorganized, fond of gas, and seeming to lack ambition.
"Hehe~ Everybody is here."
Gongsun Ze and Yulina slowly erged from the dense forest.
Master Chen looked up, narrowing his dark eyes as he watched the man.
Gongsun Ze shook the golden key in his hand and chuckled, "So, Captain Chen, do you want to snatch it from ? I’d be glad to oblige."
Chen Hangdao patted his sleeves, ready to stand up, but Xia Feng’s voice echoed in his heart, "Master Chen, don’t bother with him, trust ."
Chen Hangdao looked at Xia Feng, furrowed his brows, and sat back down, communicating telepathically, "Are you sure?"
Cai Kuihua next to him also seed restless, "Brother Xia, do you really have a way to snatch Wen Zaiye’s body?"
"Don’t worry, I’m incredibly lucky today, found sothing good."
Xia Feng gathered and stacked the poker cards on the silver stump, placing them right in the center, perfectly covering a hole the size of an index finger.
In fact, he had sensed the ssage from the silver key when he retraced his path earlier.
As he got closer to the starting point, this sense grew stronger.
From the sensed information, it was clear that this silver key did not provide access to the treehouse but had the power to forcibly seal the Calamity Realm!
So based on this, he thought of a very good strategy that did not involve competing with Gongsun Ze for the golden key.
Seeing that the Holy Departnt had no intention of seizing it, Gongsun Ze sneered, unsurprised; after all, these indifferent agents would unlikely risk their lives for a mission.
Swoosh, swoosh—
Just then, Cha Naixue and a silver figure suddenly flashed towards him!
"Heh~ you can’t stop ." Gongsun Ze’s form dispersed into Red Mist and the next instant, he reford in front of the treehouse.
He playfully glanced back at everyone with a devilish smile, "Sister Nai Xue, Miss Mu, wait for to co out~"
Saying so, he held the golden key, his form rged into the sealing barrier, and vanished.
Cha Naixue stopped in her tracks, frowning deeply; honestly, she was once again disgusted by Gongsun Ze’s greasy smile.
"Is the Black Spade not showing up yet..." Cha Naixue surveyed her surroundings, feeling slightly down; perhaps the future she had seen might not occur.
After all, it was only a slightly more probable future scenario.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly.
"Three threes."
"King bomb!"
"Brother Xia, are you poisoned or sothing, opening with a king bomb?"
"Just say if you want it or not? You don’t want it, right? Humph~ four twos!"
Xia Feng’s triumphant voice rang out, and Cha Naixue shook her head, this guy... still in the mood to play cards, she was truly amazed.
Soon, before the card ga ended,
Gongsun Ze erged from the treehouse barrier carrying a man’s corpse, a smile hanging on his lips as he scanned everyone, "Passed the Calamity Realm, farewell, everyone!"
Wen Zaiye not only carried the Moon God Tears but also possessed another Divine Object unknown to others—the Anubis Ring.
This ring appeared very plain, devoid of any spiritual essence, but it was a crucial Divine Object directing the arrival of the Evil God Anubis.
Now he just had to wait for the Summoning Wood deep in the forest to mature into the Summoning Tree, then activate the Anubis Ring to guide the descent of the Evil God.
However, activating the Anubis Ring required approximately three minutes, and during this period, he could not be disturbed; otherwise, it could lead to a backlash and failure.
So, they had to get the Holy Departnt and Cha Naixue’s group out of the Calamity Realm first.
According to the plan, his people were already outside to intercept them, so not one of the Holy Departnt or Cha Naixue could escape.
As for whether so other accident might occur... Impossible! This plan was perfect; surely it wouldn’t result in summoning so other deity, right? Gongsun Ze thought sowhat amusedly.
Yet, there was still a problem.
As he said goodbye to everyone, it seed that the people before him had no intention of leaving the Calamity Realm at all. Their eyes blinked, staring at him.
"....I said, the Calamity Realm has been cleared." Gongsun Ze’s eye twitched slightly. "Aren’t you leaving?"
In fact, when Cha Naixue and Silver heard Gongsun Ze talk about running, they imdiately thought to leave the Calamity Realm. But strangely, the seal of the Calamity Realm had not been lifted, so they were still unable to leave this space.
Suddenly— just then, a silvery stump next to the four from the Holy Departnt lit up, forming a circular barrier with a radius of two ters that enveloped the four of them.
Gongsun Ze saw at a glance that a silver rod had been inserted into the hole in the center of the stump.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the rod seed to be a key.
Click-click—
Xia Feng clapped his hands, "Well, you must have understood by now, this evil-power-filled Calamity Realm has been sealed by again! I reckon in less than an hour your souls will not be able to withstand the erosion from the evil power, you will start to lose your reason, till death!"
His lips curled up, revealing a devilish smirk,
"So! If you want to live, just hand over all the good stuff you have~"
The others around: "..."
Cha Naixue felt a bit stunned, no wonder… no wonder Xia Feng was so leisurely earlier, he had already secured victory?!
The developnts had completely exceeded her expectations. She had thought Xia Feng was only First Rank, so it would be tough for him in a fight filled with many Second Order and Third Rank contenders to snatch the golden key.
Silver glanced at Cha Naixue subconsciously. Her expressionless, rigid face puzzled: "Master, it seems like you’ve—"
"Hmm?" Cha Naixue tilted her head, expressionless, "Silver, what do you an?"
Silver blinked, looked up at the dark sky, looked around, and sighed, "It’s getting dark, ti for dinner."
"Co on, co on, everyone, don’t just stand there, who’s going first?" Xia Feng called out.
Cha Naixue pursed her lips and softly said, "....Little Feng, do I have to give, too?"
"Nonsense."
"Nonsense ans I don’t have to—"
"It ans you have to give it too." Xia Feng rolled his eyes.
Cha Naixue: "..."
While they were speaking, Gongsun Ze in the distance twitched his cheeks. He forcefully composed himself from the mood to curse and said in a low voice:
"I have plenty of Wisdom Fruits left, enough to last two more hours."
"Oh, so what?" Xia Feng blinked.
"..."
Right, so what? Gongsun Ze stared hard at the Silver Radiance Array under the feet of the Holy Departnt group.
He could clearly sense that the array was isolating the evil power on the outside, and the people inside were not affected by the evil power.
His face darkened even more.
It wouldn’t be impossible to attack this array together with Cha Naixue, but the spiritual pressure would surely deplete completely, and then Chen Hangdao could kill them when he showed up, not to ntion the subsequent summoning of the Evil God.
"Damn it—" Gongsun Ze couldn’t hold back; he actually didn’t plan to leave the Calamity Realm at all.
But if he didn’t leave, Xia Feng and the others wouldn’t leave, and he couldn’t summon the Evil God safely....
