153 Guarding
As soon as the young man said that, everyone was stunned again.
The group of people looked at one another, then widened their eyes and stared in the direction the young man was pointing at.
It was a stone wall that was as smooth as a mirror!
“The exit is here? Are you mistaken about sothing?”
Ye Yi instinctively retorted, “We’ve already checked out these stone walls. They are all horribly hard. Even after we used all our strength, we were unable to leave any marks on them, let alone leave this place…”
Before he could finish speaking, the young man had already raised his hand and slapped downwards. A sword light whistled out and flew out, blasting the stone wall into pieces.
After doing this, he turned around again and said earnestly, “You;re unable to leave any marks on it because you’re too weak. As long as you’re strong enough, you can pass through anywhere.”
“…”
The young disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley stared at one another. Unknowingly, their faces had already blushed red.
In the past month or so, they had tried all kinds of thods, but they were still unable to leave this place. It was not as if they did not try the thod of forcefully breaking through the wall. However, they were left disappointed with the result.
They had even suspected more than once that this ruin had no exit at all!
However, in the face of what they witnessed, Ye Yi and the others finally knew what their problem was.
—Too weak!
“Before I ca here, I heard that many disciples in the Thousand Autumn Valley have had breakthroughs one after another recently. Among those in the younger generation, there are already more than 10 who have broken through to the Inception Realm. Your cultivation is already a little useless.”
The thin young man did not seem to have any concept of tactfulness. He only thought for a mont before continuing to speak. Every single word was like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, and it shook Mo Yushu, Ye Yi and the others to the point of being dumbstruck!
“More than 10 Inception Realm cultivators?”
“This is too exaggerated! I rember that before we left, only Eldest Brother had reached the limit of his cultivation and was about to break through to the Inception Realm at any ti!”
“Is the new Sect Master too powerful or sothing!”
“Your new Sect Master is much stronger than you think.” The thin young man shook his head and smiled.
Exactly how long had it been?
There were now more than 10 Inception Realm cultivators among the younger generation!
For a mont, they could not help doubting themselves. Could it be that the darkness they experienced during this period of ti had ssed up their perception of ti, causing them to feel that only more than a month had passed, but in reality, at least a few years had passed outside?
“Dare I ask… exactly how long has it been… since the imperial court’s Primal Core Realm cultivator attacked us?”
After a long ti, Mo Yushu gulped, patted his big bald head and looked at the thin young man with a bitter smile.
The young man replied with a smile, “It should be a month and 17 days.”
“We’re not wrong! It’s really only been more than a month!”
After receiving confirmation from the young man, the group of people beca even more confused.
What exactly had happened in the sect to cause such a shocking change?
“It looks like… we should go back as soon as possible,” Ye Yi muttered absentmindedly. His thoughts had long drifted away and he wished that he could return to his sect in the next mont.
They no longer doubted what the thin young man said.
After all, he was really strong. If he was soone sent to pursue them, he could kill all of them with one strike. There was no need for him to waste ti and effort to deceive them!
“Oh right. I forgot to remind you.”
At this mont, the thin young man spoke again, “Although this is the exit, I can sense that there is still danger outside. With your current strength, you will get killed not long after you leave.”
His words were simple and direct!
And… heartbreaking.
“Then… what should we do?” Ye Yi could only feel dazed and confused.
If they wanted to leave this place, they had to increase their strength.
However, if they wanted to increase their strength, they had to leave this place first.
… It is an unsolvable cycle.
It is over. There’s no hope. Just wait for death…
All kinds of chaotic emotions surged into Ye Yi’s mind, emptying his mind of thoughts for a mont. He looked around in a daze, feeling like his ability to think had beco a little stagnant.
“How about this? I can be considered to be an acquaintance of your Sect Master Feng.”
The young man thought for a mont and suggested, “I don’t plan to leave this place imdiately. Why don’t you stay by my side for the ti being? Coincidentally, I’m also good at the Sword Dao. It’s more than enough to guide you. What do you think?”
In the end, Mo Yushu, Ye Yi and the rest agreed.
After all, this was their only hope for now!
Half a day later, after everyone had taken a break, they passed through the broken stone wall and walked into the depths of the underground cave, led by the thin young man.
At the sa ti, in the deepest part of the underground cave, a pair of eyes slowly opened as if it had sensed so changes.
“Hehe… After so many years, soone actually ca to challenge the level again?”
The owner of the eyes chuckled disdainfully. His gaze seed to be able to illuminate the world. In the blink of an eye, he could see all the changes in the entire underground cave. “It’s a pity that they’re just a group of small fry. They can’t even find the location of the door and are just wandering around the underground cave. It’s only wishful thinking on their part if they want to challenge the level.”
“It’s so sad, pitiful and lantable… This was once such a large world but fell to such a state in the end. I can’t even find a realm breaker…”
With that, the pair of eyes slowly closed again.
“Soon, very soon… Another while more, when my guardianship ends, I’ll be able to leave this damn place…”
In a corner of the underground cave.
After hesitating for a while, Mo Yushu finally could not help but ask, “Erm … did we just … keep circling around nearby? We didn’t advance at all?”
The thin young man turned around and nodded seriously. “Yes, why?”
“…” Such a righteous answer made Mo Yushu speechless for a mont. It took him a while before he asked in a choked voice, “So… why did you do that?”
“Because an old ghost was watching us just now.”
The thin young man’s answer made everyone look at each other. An old ghost… was watching them?
Gulp!
Ye Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end. “What old ghost? Where’s the ghost?”
“It’s alright. The guy has fallen asleep again.”
The thin young man waved his hand, signaling them to calm down. “Follow . Be careful not to fall behind.”
Following closely behind the young man, Mo Yushu deliberated for a long ti before suddenly saying, “Erm… you seem to be very familiar with this place?”
The young man was stunned.
“Right… Why am I so familiar with this place… Why do I feel like… I’ve been here before?”
The thin young man was stunned by what he himself said. “That’s not right. This seems to be my first ti here today. Then why am I familiar with this place…”
Everyone: “…???”
