102 Hidden Grounds (1/2)
They were stunned.
Not just the three that the revenant pointed at but everyone else as well.
What did it mean, that only these three young ones could enter? What about the rest of them?
”An opportunity for the younger generation, something that we of the older generation would squander, hah” some sighed, accepting the result and began to leave. Evidently, their time was over and the younger generation would take the spotlight.
Of course, there were those who chose not the accept such orders from the revenant.
”What is this? I refuse to be given such a result!” one such person spoke out with indignity, a scrawny old man wearing dark green robes and numerous rings on his fingers.
”I, the poison master, Gu Tian, refuse this result! Give me an answer you filthy corpse or I will make you!” he said.
His rat-like face had a ghastly expression of rage, his large nose flared up in anger. If anything, he seemed more like a filthy corpse than the revenant did.
”Gu Tian!? Fuck, we better leave quickly” someone whispered and many tried to retreat.
Gu Tian was not a very amazing cultivator, stuck at the first level of the Earth Realm for the past thirty something years. However, he was a gifted alchemist and created a number of poisonous concoctions. He gained a fair amount of wealth and fame from selling these poisons as their potency was incredibly strong.
It has been rumored that one of them was used to kill a cultivator who was only a step away from reaching the Sky Realm, an existence that numbered in the hundreds out of the trillions of cultivators within the Human Continent.
Not to mention, the way that these poisons worked were nothing less of disgusting. Some of them would corrode the body from the inside, turning its victims into a bloody puddle of sizzling slime. Some could cause flames to erupt, burning their bodies, others would cause boils to appear on their bodies before exploding into a mess of pus and filth.
”Not so fast!” he said, ”Anyone that leaves will die from my poison, including you three!”
Staring at Ming Yue and the others, he gave them a wicked glare before looking back at the revenant who continued to ignore them.
”I do not believe that you have the power to stop me. One drop of my poison and your body will melt in seconds!” arrogance was written all over his face as he walked forward, entering the secret realm.
They were all watching him stride forward, some believing that he would face backlash while others wanted to see what would happen.
Several steps later, he entered the realm, secretly surprised. He had thought that there would be some repercussion for entering without the revenant's permission but nothing happened.
He smiled and boasted to everyone else.

”Hah!” he laughed, ”This stupid corpse has no power over the hidden realm. Trying to scare us? I think not. What are you waiting for? Let's enter!”
Gu Tian walked forward, his heart full of greed and desire. What treasures could this realm hold? How much were these statues worth? He could not wait to find out.
On his very next step, an invisible force shook the halls before smashing into his body. Sent back into the tunnel, his body flew past everyone and out of the realm. In the few seconds they saw him, some had already noticed the numerous injuries to his bones and organs. In those few moments, they had already decided to leave. Even if they would not die from such an attack, being sent to the entrance and having to walk back in suchshape was already enough to deter them.
