The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1574 - 1570: 7 Statues
Chapter 1574: Chapter 1570: 7 Statues
Everyone listened to Li Biao speaking gravely and was somewhat indecisive for a moment.
Shen Luo’s divided soul, through Ghost Teng Master’s eyes, was also carefully observing the changes over there. However, after waiting for a long time, no change was seen; instead, the surrounding poisonous mist gradually spread, compressing his living space to the limit. freewebnσvel.cøm
He was also hesitating; unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to use the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, for fear that if everyone knew he possessed such a powerful antidote and did not use it, they would turn against him on the spot.
"Let’s not worry about whether Daoist Li is mistaken; the situation is urgent now, it’s worth a try even if it’s wrong," said Ghost Teng Master.
"Okay then," said Yan Lie.
"Since it was you who discovered it, you should be the one to try," Tian Sanqi said.
Hearing this, Li Biao’s eyes flashed with anger, but seeing Tao Xiang also nodding at him, he had to let it go.
"Daoist Li, I’ll use the Dustless Fan to clear the way for you shortly. Whether we can all make a path out depends on you," Yan Lie anxiously said.
"Understood," Li Biao replied grudgingly.
"Everyone be careful, after this fan wave, the poison mist will surely surge over. Please use your skills to protect yourselves for a moment," Yan Lie prepared and warned.
Before anyone could respond, his Dustless Fan had already fiercely fanned out, sending a violent gust of wind speeding forth, carving a passageway through the poison mist.
Li Biao followed closely behind, rushing out before the poison mist could return, his figure quickly obscured by the poison mist.
Other people also hurriedly activated their mystic arts, barely managing to protect themselves, as the stirred poison mist immediately spread and engulfed them.
In the midst of the poison mist, the sound "hiss hiss" echoed loudly; everyone’s defensive measures failed to hold out for long.
They could only rely on their mana to keep the poison mist at bay, but unavoidably inhaled quite a bit of it. As more poison mist was inhaled, their resistance weakened, and ultimately, they only had a deadly path left.
Ghost Teng Master, holding the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, although not using mana to activate this treasure, the poison mist seemed unintentionally afraid to approach too close, making him the one who had inhaled the least poison mist among everyone.
However, everyone was preoccupied with their own concerns, and Shen Luo, controlling the Ghost Teng Master, also exhibited signs of being poisoned, so no one noticed this point.
Just when everyone thought their lives were over, a sudden "crack" sound of something breaking echoed from up ahead.
"The gate is this way, hurry over here," at this moment, Li Biao’s voice also came from within the depth of the poison mist.
"That’s great," everyone rejoiced and hurriedly followed the sound.
Upon rushing closer, they saw a round white light gate hanging lonely in mid-air, and Li Biao’s figure had disappeared.
"That guy is afraid of the poison gas, he must have already gone through," Liu Hong, who knew him best, couldn’t help saying.
"Then why are we not rushing through?" Wanshui Zhenren urged.
Just as he was about to rush into the light gate, he heard a shout from behind:
"Don’t rush."
Everyone was startled and turned back, only to see the last standing Ghost Teng Master pointing at the ground, saying, "Look, do you see any remnants of the Soul Dying Pillar over here?"
The rest quickly bowed their heads to search but found nothing.
"It must be the poison mist, causing everyone to have hallucinations," Tao Xiang grimly said.
Wanshui Zhenren was even more frightened afterwards.
"What are you doing? Why did you run over there, come here quickly?" Another shout came.
This time, everyone stopped in place, daring not to act recklessly.
Shen Luo, with his divided soul, was speechless inside. He had the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead in his hand and hadn’t been much poisoned. Though he could also see hallucinations, he could still discern the difference between illusion and reality.
He only saw Li Biao’s figure rushing over from the side of the poison mist, grabbing Liu Hong’s sleeve, and scolding, "Are you poisoned blind? Why aren’t you following me?"
Angered, Liu Hong lifted his foot and kicked Li Biao’s butt.
The latter was completely unprepared, fell flat on his face, and was stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly flipped up and slapped Liu Hong on the head, cursing, "What wrong medicine did you take, kid?"
Liu Hong was hit and felt dizzy, hesitatingly asking, "Isn’t it a hallucination?"
"Hallucination my ass, if we don’t leave, we will all die here," Li Biao cursed and dashed toward the exit, leaving everyone behind.
The others, doubting yet believing, hurriedly followed.
Soon, another light gate appeared in front of everyone, but this time it was different from the previous one; beside the gate, there were two segments of a broken black stone pillar, inside which they could see the golden pearl embedded just like those in the Soul Birth Pillar.
This time everyone finally relaxed and began to enter the light gate one after another.
Shen Luo, controlling Ghost Teng Master, deliberately lagged behind. Just before entering the gate, he suddenly activated the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead.
Instantly, multicolored lights blossomed from the bead as it started frantically absorbing the surrounding Gu poison mist, and in no time it had sucked it all into the bead.
After collecting the bead, he then stepped through the white light gate.
Shen Luo only felt a burst of dazzling white light before him, which then gradually dimmed. As his vision slowly returned, he realized they had directly arrived in a large circular-dome building.
The light inside the great hall was very abundant, even somewhat dazzling. As everyone walked in, they involuntarily covered their eyes, somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden bright light.
Shen Luo felt as if his entire body was bathed in sacred light, feeling an indescribable comfort, even the trace of Gu poison that had contaminated Ghost Teng Master’s body seemed to have been completely cleansed.
Everyone else felt the same, and all were immediately delighted, thinking they had finally withstood the test and it was time to receive their reward.
Shen Luo looked around and saw that the center of the great hall had a lower terrain, a relatively open area, with the ground covered with white jade stone-like slabs, transparent and bright enough to reflect people.
Across this circular courtyard stood a slightly elevated platform, on which stood seven humanoid statues, men and women, old and young, each dressed in Witch Clan garments, appearing sacred and solemn.
Just when Shen Luo and the others were about to step into the courtyard, sudden overwhelming breaths emerged from those humanoid statues.
"Are they alive?" Shen Luo was startled.
The others also noticed the abnormality, and the nerves that had just relaxed immediately tensed up again.
"What are these things?" Liu Hong asked in surprise.
"They look like guardian stone statues placed here by the Witch Clan, but they have spiritual consciousness fluctuations within them, seemingly with divine souls sealed inside," Tao Xiang said.
"How dare you trespass into Lord Hou Yi’s tomb chamber, do you know the death penalty?" A furious scolding voice came from the direction of the stone statues.
Everyone was staring at the stone statues, and hearing the voice without seeing their mouths move only added to their confusion.
