287 Following the Plan (1/2)

Their group quickly returned to the barrier. In the end, not even an entire day's time passed. When Lire and the leaders of the other groups saw they coming back, they immediately got puzzled. Why would they come back? Shouldn't they use the extra time as much as possible?

When they arrived, it was just like Krune's group had predicted before. The only extra team that was there was that one they almost met after fighting for the first Destiny Flowers.

Haro asked Krune to reopen the protection formation and then said.

”Come in, wasn't that what all you wanted?”

Krune had an idea about what Haro was doing, but he decided to leave it on his hands.

Lire and the other teams immediately rushed inside the protection formation. But surprisingly, they didn't attack as Marshine, and the others predicted.

Another exploration team leader approached Haro and asked him.

”Haro, I know you as well as the others. For you to come back so early could only mean that you need our help, or you had no other choice.”

Haro laughed, hearing that.

”I sure wish that it wasn't the case, Lila. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. That is why I have come back since I had no other option. Do you think I would come back if I had the capability of taking anything precious? Haha, you know I wouldn't, and you wouldn't either.”

Another team leader called Janos then asked.

”It's not like I believe you. Still, I can at least hear what you have to say. What happened inside to force you to come back?”

Haro smiled and then explained everything they found in this place.

”So you are saying that the Elemental Flowers were literally the only thing you found so far? Those buildings that you found aren't opening at all, either. Is that correct?”

Haro nodded.

”I know you won't believe before seeing it, so why don't you come with me for now and I show you? We can come back here after you have checked it with your own eyes.”

The other teams looked at each other and nodded. After that, they immediately departed. Sure enough, they visited each and every building that was found before. Just as Haro expected, it turned out fruitless. None of them could open those buildings at all!

After visiting the last building, which just so happens to be the Yang Hall, the other teams finally gave up.

Haro saw that and then laughed.

”See? We found quite a few Elemental Flowers in this short time, but that is basically everything that you can get here. I wished someone of you had some secret weapon that could open this thing, but it seems like I was wrong.”

Lire immediately rebuked.

”Cut the crap. I understand that you really didn't enter those buildings. But everyone here knows that you probably have a plan, or at the very least, an idea.”

Haro nodded and looked at the Ball of Purple Lightning that was Krune.

Krune agreed with that and repeated the same words again.

”I see. It is indeed true that we are inside this place because of a flaw in the formation. So what everyone wanna do now? Return to the protection barrier and wait for the other teams?”

Krune then said.

”The six of us are not like your sects and clans, we do need those flowers. So we are going to stay inside and keep collecting them. If you want to go back, I don't mind opening the barrier again.”

Some of the cultivators and demon beasts looked weirdly at Krune. After all, he was the only one with the power to open the protection formation. Everyone here was curious about the fact that he can already use so many laws. Still, they also didn't want to start a fight with him.

The reason was very simple, anyone with so many laws must be at least at the late stages of the Divine Soul Realm, probably even at the peak! The leaders are also at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, but they would be no match against someone with that many laws.
