1550 Entering the Gates (1/2)
To be honest, when the full-moons gates opened and gave out brilliance, Zhang Tie didn't feel any energy connection between the full-moons gates and the two full moons outside. Whereas, when those mysterious runes inside the gates started to flow, Zhang Tie felt a sharp resonance between the All-spirits Tower in his mind sea and this full-moons gate.
Zhang Tie was confused about this response while the opening gate and the pitch-dark hole behind the gate didn't allow Zhang Tie to think about it too much.
”Let's go...” when the gate fully opened and over 6,000 knights suddenly stopped their hubbub, Zhang Tie drew Bai Suxian's hand as they exchanged a glance with each other tacitly. Then, Bai Suxian injected some spiritual energy into Zhang Tie's body as they flew into the gate at a stroke.
Despite being pitch-dark to others, it was clearly a downward tunnel in the eyes of Zhang Tie.
Watching Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian entering the tunnel, Bai Sunshan and Deyang Immortal exchanged a glance with each other as they flew inside at the same time. Half a minute later, some shadow knights behind them looked at each other.
”What are we waiting for? The treasures of Great Wilderness Sect are right downside there, quick...” some knight couldn't help shouting.
After this yell, those shadow knights rushed into the pitch-dark hole behind the full-moons gate, closely followed by all the others like a shoal of fish for fresh water at their full efforts in fear of missing something.
In the tunnel, Zhang Tie just flew at the speed of 4 times that of sound, which although being fast for others was nothing for Zhang Tie.
The entire tunnel was like a deep well with a downward inclination. It was smooth on its walls which were covered with faint, flowing runes. At the speed four times that of sound, those illuminating runes receded as fast as light besides Zhang Tie and Bai Suixian.
”Faster?” Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie.
”No need! We should just stay close to the other heavenly knights. No need to rush out first. It's okay for us to move a bit slowlier than them!”
”Aren't you afraid that they might get the treasures ahead of us?”
”Those ahead of us might also be martyrs!” Zhang Tie said with a smile.
Bai Suxian became silent...
...
As for the other full-moons gates, the moment they opened, all the heavenly knights had rushed in. Needless to say, those knights behind Zhang Tie and Woodbuilding Immortal had also rushed in within 2 minutes.
There were four knights of Lord Guangnan's Mansion guarding the full-moons gate for Zhang Tie's group. Similarly, some knights were also left by Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion, Qionglou Pavilion, Demons-kill Valley and Jiang Clan outside their gates in case of emergency.
