Chapter 819: Strong Restrictions
The scene looked very frightening. However, that Lu Weiping did not move at all. He infused his Heavenly Sage Laws into his hand, and a black light surged into the root that he held.
The black light instantly entered the large tree. Then, there was a loud explosion, and this scary-looking plant shattered into wood chips filling the air.
The others changed their expressions slightly. While they did not worry much about this tree, they would not have been able to destroy it as readily as Lu Weiping had.
They did not know if Lu Weiping did this to show off his might or if he was really in a rush.
The burly, middle-aged man and the others looked unsettled. Xiao Chen could not tell what they were thinking.
Along the way, Lu Weiping swept through the place. The team advanced rapidly without stopping at all, traveling ten kiloters in the blink of an eye.
Three days later, he led the group to a towering tree. Then, he looked at the old man from the Heavenly Mystery Gate and said, “Brother Liu, it is up to you to open this restriction.”
Could it be that the final resting place of the Evil King was inside this towering tree? Xiao Chen entered deep thought. When he examined it, he noticed three layers of barriers around the towering tree.
The Heavenly Mystery Gate old man with the family na Liu glanced at the tree and did not reveal much of a serious expression. He had already broken this restriction once; breaking it again would be easier.
The old man with the family na Liu took out a bunch of small flags and stuck them around the towering tree.
Xiao Chen watched very carefully, not looking away at all. He was rather interested in the formations of the Kunlun Realm.
After finishing everything, the old man with the family na Liu soared into the air and ford hand seals, sending out beams of light to the flag formation.
After a while, a large formation with flickering lights descended from above. The three layers of barriers around the towering tree twisted violently.
With the suppression of this large formation, the formless barriers tore bit by bit, and eventually shattered like a mirror breaking.
The other people, who were waiting anxiously, released their bated breaths. Elder Peng smiled and said, “Brother Liu’s understanding of formations is probably the best under the Martial Emperor realm.”
The old man with the family na Liu carefully put away the formation flags like they were treasures. He did not display any pleasure as he said, “This is really not due to . If I had not happened to co across this set of Universe Flags, I would not be able to break the restrictions left by the Evil King.”
Lu Weiping ignored the two’s conversation and stepped in right away. He waved his hand, and a dallion flew into a depression in the tree.
“Ka ca!” The towering tree strangely split apart, revealing a road.
“Whoosh!”
With a flash, Lu Weiping took the initiative to enter first. Then Elder Peng and the old man with the family na Liu quickly followed.
Lu Weiping seed to have obtained so incredible Secret Treasure this ti. He appeared very confident that he could deal with the Nascent Fla, forcefully breaking through several traps along the way and leaving the group far behind.
Elder Peng and the others quickly rushed forward. When they saw pieces of traps and puppets on the ground, they exchanged glances with grave expressions.
“It looks like this Lu Weiping only wanted to use Brother Liu to break the restriction outside. He is very confident of dealing with the Nascent Fla. He probably wants to take everything for himself.”
When the burly man realized that he could no longer see Lu Weiping, he smiled coldly.
The attractive middle-aged woman showed so displeasure. She said, “On our last trip, we t strong creatures. All of us put in so effort to kill them and contributed. Otherwise, how could this trip be so easy?”
The Heavenly Mystery Gate’s old man glanced at Elder Peng and said, “Elder Peng, you are the closest to this Lu Weiping and can be considered half a sponsor. Do you know what is happening?”
After the restriction was broken, Lu Weiping had rushed ahead on his own, showing no intention of traveling with the rest. Clearly, he was disregarding their arrangents.
The other three looked at Elder Peng, wanting an explanation from him. If he could not provide them with adequate justification, they might even attack.
The atmosphere in the underground tunnel imdiately turned tense. The five peak Inferior Grade Martial Sages unleashed their auras slightly.
Elder Peng’s face sank. He said, “He found a book written by the Evil King. He will probably be able to cross that Nascent Fla and believes that we will not. That might be why he is so confident.
“However, as for the exact situation, we will have to see when we get to the Nascent Fla. What can the few of you get by treating like this? It is best not to do anything foolish. This old man has not taken action for many years already, and my hands are indeed starting to get itchy.”
Not far away, Xiao Chen saw this scene and revealed a playful smile. Before even reaching the Nascent Fla, the team already showed signs of discord; this exceeded his expectations.
This developnt was good as well. Since the group did not have a strong bond, then it would be easier for Xiao Chen to execute so of his plans.
No matter what, he had to figure out the secret of the seven thrones. Could the seven thrones really rge into one? After rging, would it result in the state of cycles? He had to clarify all these questions.
Regarding states and will, Chu Chaoyun had the edge over Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had to be sure about the state of cycles, and this was his best opportunity for confirmation.
Lu Weiping was already gone without a trace. The situation clearly turned sowhat strange. The remaining people increased their speed and moved quickly in the underground tunnel.
Without even having to execute Thunder Dragon Steps and using only Azure Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Xiao Chen could easily keep up with the group, never being left behind at all.
In the ti it took to brew a pot of tea, Elder Peng stopped before a cave. He had a sullen expression, looking very frightening.
A clump of white fla burned fiercely at the entrance to the cave, completely blocking off access. When the others looked around, they could not see any trace of Lu Weiping.
The others had extrely unsightly expressions. They had been betrayed; Lu Weiping had truly left them behind.
A skinny old man, who had remained silent all the while, revealed an indifferent smile. He said, “This Lu Weiping really thinks that I cannot get through this Nascent Fla? Old friends, all of us have made preparations this ti, right?”
The eyes of the Heavenly Mystery Gate old man flickered. Given his proud nature, he remained cautious of this mysterious Nascent Fla.
Elder Peng showed an uncertain expression. After glancing at Xiao Chen at the back, he remained silent.
“Allow . My Fire Parting Clothes is a high-quality Sage Grade Secret Treasure after all. I don’t believe that a clump of flas can stop .”
The burly man took out a black cloak and draped it over himself. When he activated it, the cloak gave off a cold light, forming a white light barrier.
The others quickly looked over. Since soone was willing to try, they were naturally happy to watch.
“Hu chi!” The burly man’s figure flashed and arrived before the cave entrance. When he was just a step away from the large clump of Nascent Fla, he stopped. While he had spoken easily, he was still not very confident in the end.
However, the burly man did not keep the group waiting for long. He eventually took a large stride and walked in.
The Heavenly Mystery Gate old man’s expression turned grave as he observed warily. He did not dare to relax at all. Elder Peng and the others were the sa; they were all extrely nervous.
Xiao Chen crossed his arms and also stared at the burly man. However, he was very calm, not affected at all.
The entire place was silent. Just when everyone felt extrely nervous, not even daring to breathe out heavily, an anguished cry ca from the Nascent Fla.
“Ah!”
Everyone saw a fiery flash, and the burly man, who had stepped in, ca out in an extrely sorry state. That black cloak had already incinerated.
Most of the clothes on the burly man had also gone up in flas. His hair was charred, and large burns covered his skin.
“This Feng is incapable. This Nascent Fla will depend on these old friends.”
[Note: This Feng: This is a way of referring to oneself with the family na. If translated literally, this bit would be Feng so-and-so is incapable. This form of self-reference is usually done to convey humility.]
Fear flickered in the burly man’s eyes. His earlier confidence was nowhere in sight as he moved over to the side.
The others remained silent. After so ti, the attractive middle-aged woman stepped forward. She took out a pearl and placed it inside her mouth before silently walking into the fla.
Not long after, she bolted back out. However, due to the example of the burly man, this person had retreated the mont she sensed sothing wrong. Aside from turning pale, she did not seem to have suffered any harm at all.
Following that, Elder Peng and that skinny old man took out the thods they had prepared to deal with the Nascent Fla. After trying these, they withdrew without any results to show for their efforts. They had even nearly caught fire.
The Heavenly Mystery Gate’s old man smiled faintly and said, “It looks like it does not matter whether this old man tries or not. Even if I got lucky and crossed over, I am not Old Lu’s match.”
“This is really dissatisfying. There are at least four or five King Grade Secret Treasures in the Evil King’s final resting place. Just getting one would make the trip worthwhile. After we leave, if this old man does not seek trouble for his Heavenly Evil Gate, my family na will no longer be Feng!”
The burly man kept cursing Lu Weiping, clearly very upset.
The few of them gathered and discussed how they would make Lu Weiping hand so things over after they went out.
Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. He observed their expressions. He discovered that including Elder Peng’s, these were all angry.
The only exception was the old man with the family na Liu. Although he appeared angry, the expression in his eyes said that he did not care very much.
Logically speaking, he should be the one who lost the most. Without him to break the restriction outside, even Lu Weiping would not have been able to enter.
However, Xiao Chen did not care how this person thought. His figure flashed and arrived before the cave entrance. Then he observed the Nascent Fla from up close.
When Elder Peng saw this, his eyes lit up. When this group of people failed one after another, he nearly forgot about the secret weapon he brought—Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, “Everyone, maybe things are not that bad. We still have this disciple of my sect. The Martial Technique he practices has a strong suppressive effect on all sorts of flas.”
The burly man snorted coldly and retorted carelessly, “With him? A junior that is not even a Martial Sage? Old Man Peng, I think your mind is declining with age.
“All we can do now is wait for Lu Weiping to co out. If he leaves from another exit, we will go to the Heavenly Evil Gate together and suppress it. I don’t believe that we cannot make him spit out the things that we deserve.”
The others all approved of this plan. With the five of them working together, they would definitely be able to suppress Lu Weiping. They did not fear falling out with him.
