C303 Zhang Danfeng's Departure
C303 Zhang Danfeng's Departure
Chu Zhongtian showed disdain towards Gong Rulin and the others who had just tracked him down.
According to his estimation, Gong Rulin had reached the First Level Essence Gathering Stage Peak. The formation that was automatically activated by the palace wouldn't be able to stop him for too long. With Gong Rulin's speed, when Chu Zhongtian was searching the living room of the palace... He should have reached the palace and entered the palace to activate the Illusion formation.
It was half an hour later than Chu Zhongtian had estimated. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian's worries about Gong Rulin and the others' overall strength had been reduced by half.
According to the information left behind before the Red Jade Pendant merged into the palace, the illusionary realm formed by the 365 Blood Crystal was enough to trap an Essence Gathering Stage Beginner expert for an hour.
With Gong Rulin and the others' current condition, let alone an hour, it was already considered pretty good that they could break out of the illusionary realm within two hours.
Two hours later, there were only about ten minutes left until the Blood Demon Secret Realm closed. With Dongfang Yongping and Huang Yurong's strength, it should not be a problem for them to stall Gong Rulin for more than ten minutes.
Because there was sufficient time, Chu Zhongtian was not in a hurry to send out a distress signal to inform Dongfang Yongping and Huang Yurong.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian's guess was only half right. Gong Rulin and the others were indeed as he had expected. After Zhu Yan took over the command, they did not spend much time to arrive in front of the palace in the real core area.
However, when faced with the palace that was exactly the same as the one in the valley, whether it was the smart and strong Zhu Yan, the impulsive Gong Rulin, or Liu Zixin who was proficient in tracking, all of them fell into deep thought and doubt.
Among the six of them, Wang Kaixin, who was the weakest and had the lowest cultivation base of mind state, was like Dongfang Yongping, sinking into a state of self-denial.
Unfortunately, no one present could help him clear his doubts. No one could explain what had happened in front of him or help him wake up from his self-denial. Thus, he gradually entered a state of madness, and in the end, aroused the heart fire. In the end, he turned into a pile of ashes and scattered in front of the palace.
Wang Kaixin's unexpected death caused Gong Rulin, Zhu Yan, and the others to be frightened. They even suspected that Wang Kaixin had died because of the illusion created by the palace. Therefore, they quickly left the palace.
They stayed at a place thousands of meters away from the palace for more than half an hour. When the feeling of self-denial in their hearts disappeared, the shrewd and meticulous Zhu Yan returned to the front of the palace.
After experiencing the process of self-denial once, Zhu Yan was now able to face the same palace with ease.
And with a calm attitude, Zhu Yan quickly discovered the palace gates that had been opened.
When he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately called Liu Zixin, who was proficient in tracking, and asked him to determine whether there was any news of Chu Zhongtian and the others.
"An hour ago, Chu Zhongtian, Dongfang Yongping, and Huang Yurong did come here before, and they finally entered the palace." After Liu Zixin carefully analyzed the remaining aura, he gave Zhu Yan the answer he wanted.
"Senior Brother Gong!"
"Senior Brother Zhang!"
"Junior Liu!"
"Junior Brother Qu!"
Zhu Yan got the answer he wanted. He called the remaining four people by their names and said confidently.
"I think we have reached the true core of the palace, which is also the place where the treasures are hidden. Furthermore, Junior Liu has already confirmed that Chu Zhongtian and the others have entered the palace. I think we should make the best use of our time to enter the palace. We need to find Chu Zhongtian and the others. "
" Junior Brother Zhu, you saw Junior Brother Zheng's tragic death just now. This palace is filled with strange and dangerous things. Do we really need to enter the palace?" Facing Zhu Yan's confident attitude, Zhang Danfeng voiced his doubts.
In fact, what Zhu Yan and the others didn't know was that Zhang Danfeng and Zheng Kaixin had a very good relationship. Because they came from the same dynasty and different families. Because the relationship between the two families was very good, it caused them to maintain a close friendship after entering the sect.
After the two of them entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm, they often gathered together to hunt Blood Devil. After entering the palace, they secretly formed an alliance and helped each other.
At that time, Zheng Kaixin had entered a frenzied state, causing his heart fire to ignite. Zhang Danfeng was standing beside him. He watched Zheng Kaixin, who was closest to him, die tragically, but there was nothing he could do. No one could imagine the grief in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Danfeng had already lost the enthusiasm to fight for the treasure. He only wanted to bring Zheng Kaixin's ashes back to the sect, to Zheng Kaixin's family, and let him return to his roots.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I have checked the cause of Junior Brother Zheng's death just now. I found that he entered a state of madness because his thoughts were in chaos. His death in the end had nothing to do with the palace." Zhu Yan saw that Zhang Danfeng had the intention to withdraw, so he quickly advised him.
Among the remaining five people, Gong Rulin and Zhang Danfeng were the strongest. Only the two of them could deal with Dongfang Yongping and Huang Yurong.
Because of Gong Rulin's background, it caused him to be overly arrogant and conceited. He was selfish and greedy, so Zhu Yan was worried that they would encounter Chu Zhongtian and the others. Chu Zhongtian would try to win Gong Rulin over and make him deal with him instead.
If the situation was really as Zhu Yan had imagined, Zhang Danfeng would have to deal with the rebellious Gong Rulin.
No matter what, Zhu Yan couldn't let Zhang Danfeng leave.
Facing Zhu Yan's request, Zhang Danfeng could only sigh. He took out a wooden box carved with sandalwood from his storage bag and bent over to collect Zheng Kaixin's ashes. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and left the palace, waiting for the Blood Demon Secret Realm to close.
"Senior Brother Zhang, there is a high possibility that there is a treasure in the palace that can increase one's cultivation base and potential. Don't you want to consider entering it?" Zhu Yan looked at Zhang Danfeng who had turned around and left without saying a word, and shouted out loudly.
However, Zhu Yan's shout didn't change Zhang Danfeng's mind. After casting the movement technique, he quickly disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Gong Rulin looked at Zhang Danfeng who had turned around and left. He cursed angrily, then turned his gaze to Zhu Yan.
Without Zhang Danfeng's help, Zhu Yan was somewhat worried about the situation after entering the palace.
However, the situation had already developed to this point. If he chose to give up, Zhu Yan would definitely not be willing to give up.
After thinking it over and over again, he finally decided to take the risk.
Zhu Yan nodded at Gong Rulin, then he entered the palace first.
Seeing Zhu Yan enter the palace, Gong Rulin and the others didn't think too much about it and followed him into the palace.
