Although Liu i hadn't said anything this entire ti, Jiang Chen understood that she and Xingyi had deliberately kept Mao Huang alive and brought him all the way back, rely because he had ntioned that he personally wanted to take revenge!
Without another word, Jiang Chen cupped his hands a second ti, before sitting on the ground and focusing his full attention on Xingyi and Liu i.
Clearly, since the 2 girls had returned with just Mao Huang but Guo Chen was nowhere in sight, sothing unexpected must have taken place.
Of course, the thought that Liu i and Xingyi had failed to deal with Guo Chen didn't even cross Jiang Chen's mind. After all, despite the fact that Guo Chen was ranked within the top 100 among the Dao Kings who had entered the 'City of Immortals', Jiang Chen understood that single-handedly beating Liu i or escaping from Xingyi's shadows should have been close to impossible for him! In fact, Jiang Chen estimated that the number of people who could contend with Liu i's current army inside the 'City of Immortals' wouldn't even exceed 30!
Following Jiang Chen's actions, Bai Longtian took a seat on the ground next to Shun Long, before turning his gaze towards the 2 won as well. At this point, judging from Liu i's expression, Bai Longtian could also tell that sothing out of the ordinary had probably happened.
Indeed, in the next mont, Liu i waved her hand allowing the Death Eater to disappear, before she looked at Shun Long and said sowhat hesitantly
''Long-ge, about that Guo Chen... there is sothing you need to know.''
As her voice trailed off, Liu i cast one last glance at Mao Huang's figure, where nothing but that red-colored spatial ring was now left, before she continued
''When Xingyi and I arrived back at the oasis, Guo Chen had already left and even that Mao Huang was preparing to leave! As for the magic beasts waiting outside, there weren't even a thousand of them left anymore.''
Liu i's voice was cool and tranquil, without any hints of urgency, and yet Shun Long couldn't help but involuntarily raise his eyebrows when he heard it before a serious expression gradually covered his face
''Those guys actually left? They gave up on obtaining more drops of 'Immortal water' and left just like that?''
At this point, Shun Long understood that sothing truly unexpected must have happened to cause both Mao Huang and Guo Chen to leave the 'Illusion Oasis', when they could have just kept harvesting drops of 'Immortal water' in peace!
Additionally, it wasn't just those two, but the remaining Dao Kings inside the oasis as well that had started to leave. Originally, when Shun Long had visited the place, just the early and middle rank 6 magic beasts standing guard outside numbered more than seven thousand, but now, not even a thousand of them were left!
'Immortal water' by itself was so valuable that even Dao Emperors would fight over a few hundred drops of it, so for re Dao Kings to give it up so readily and go elsewhere, things weren't that simple!
Nodding her head, Xingyi looked at Shun Long and answered affectionately
''Right. i and I were very curious about this as well! Apparently everyone was leaving the 'Illusion Oasis' and were hurrying towards the south, but after asking around we quickly found out why. It seems like a new trial has opened and everyone is rushing to get there as fast as they can!''
As she finished speaking however, Xingyi suddenly lowered her head and fell silent, as if she had abruptly fallen in contemplation over sothing!
At this point though, how could Shun Long not realize what the two won were worried about? In fact, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian seed to have similar expressions as well.
After all, a new trial suddenly appearing, especially one that was appealing enough to draw out experts like Guo Chen, should be filled with rewards that far eclipse those from the 'Illusion Oasis'. Treasures like the 'Immortal water' may not even be that much in comparison. Otherwise, why would soone like Guo Chen or Mao Huang even choose to leave in the first place?
However, Shun Long had yet to break through and beco a peak rank 9 Dao King! Regardless of what type of treasures that trial may contain, were they worth his ti to stop cultivating and make that trip?
What if he failed to break through and reach the peak of the Dao King stage within the next 2 years because of this? No matter what, Shun Long had already emphasized that the most important thing he had to focus on, was creating a perfect foundation while in the Dao King realm! Absorbing the immortal qi in this place was an imasurable opportunity, so why would he give it up to explore a new trial that may be hiding countless dangers instead? Regardless of what type of treasures he could obtain, if he had to give up his perfect foundation, it wouldn't be worth it!
And yet, contrary to Liu i's and the others' expectations, Shun Long actually stood up and dusted the sand off his robes before he said calmly
''Since this trial is drawing everyone over, why don't we go and take a look as well? Who knows, there might be sothing interesting!''
Before Liu i and the others could interject, Shun Long casually walked a few steps forward and picked up Mao Huang's spatial ring that was still on the ground, before he continued
''Of course, if it wasn't for this, I would have stayed inside the 'Five-elents protective formation' and cultivated until I reached the peak of the Dao King realm, but now, we can go over and have a look.''
Surprised expressions followed by unconcealed looks of joy quickly appeared on Bai Longtian's and the others' faces. At this point, and with less than 2 years left before the 'City of Immortals' closed, it would be a lie if they said that they weren't interested in this new trial whatsoever. After all, after cultivating in seclusion for so long, everyone was eager to test out their strength.
At the sa ti, Shun Long simply smiled and shook his head before he sent his spiritual sense inside Mao Huang's spatial ring. Naturally, he was also curious to find out what kind of new trial could draw Guo Chen and the others over like that, but he was equally as curious to see the contents of Mao Huang's spatial ring!
