Chapter 499: Unknown Enemy! (2/2)
“We need to get the Demon Sealing Tombstone!”
“Qin Lie! Hand over the Demon Sealing Tombstone!”
That very instant, the opinions of the three forces were astonishingly unanimous, and everybody started moving closer and closer to Qin Lie.
The eyes of everyone that wasn’t in Qin Lie’s group, including Huang Zhuli, Yu Men, Feng Yiyou, Ye Yihao, Su Yan, Xiahou Yuan, and Lin Dongxing, were filled with killing intent as they bore into Qin Lie.
“Don’t be rash… allow me to try sealing the thunder spirit then.” Qin Lie smiled wryly, a helpless look on his face. He seemed to have no choice in the matter.
Every single person who was about to slaughter their way to Qin Lie suddenly stopped moving.
“Qin Lie, what are you…?” Du Xiangyang asked, stunned.
“There’s nothing else we can do. If we don’t seal the thunder spirit with the Demon Sealing Tombstone, we’ll just be attacked from all sides.” Qin Lie shrugged, a worried frown on his face. It seemed as if he were actually going to pull the Demon Sealing Tombstone out and seal the thunder spirit in the depths of the lagoon.
“Eh?”
“Mn?”
Du Xiangyang, Yu Men, and everyone else who possessed Terminator Sect tokens, all looked at their waists.
The Terminator Sect tokens emitted ear-piercing howls. It was as if someone were recklessly transmitting messages.
The howls stunned everyone into action, and every single person who possessed one such token gripped them and tried to sense the message within.
“It’s not a message! It’s just a distress signal,” Ye Yihao declared with a shake of his head, a cold expression on his face as he held a token. “Probably a ploy of insects that can’t stand on the main stage!”
“It’s He Wei and her group!” Du Xiangyang’s expression went cold as he couldn’t help but snort. “I wonder what kind of trick they’re trying to pull. Their strength alone doesn’t qualify them to even try seizing the Pure Soul Springs. What’s the point of these little tricks?”
Everyone believed that He Wei seeking aid was a part of her scheme to disrupt everyone’s plans and lure some of them away from the thunder lagoon, and by extension, the Pure Soul Springs.
“No, that’s wrong! He Wei is quickly approaching us!” Chu Li exclaimed, becoming anxious.
“Zzzz! Whoosh! Oooo!”
Tied to the waists of numerous people, tokens from every force began to emit strange howls and buzz wildly.
“Did He Wei’s group have tokens from so many different forces?” Song Tingyu asked in surprise.
“No! They definitely don’t have this many! Something’s wrong!” Chu Li constantly shook his head.
“This is definitely strange.” Du Xiangyang frowned.
“Qin Lie! Can you still use your soul consciousness to sense the area around us?” Chu Li asked nervously.
Qin Lie nodded, saying, “I can, but my range is limited. I can sense several kilometers around us at the most., Any farther than that is impossible.”
“Help me sense them!” Chu Li burned with worry.
Qin Lie thought for a moment before saying, “Fine!”
He sat in a lotus position, held his breath, and concentrated as he used his soul consciousness to sense their surroundings.
An instant later, he stood right up. His expression became extremely grim as he roared, “More than two hundred life signatures are currently approaching us! They’re extremely fast, too!”
A huge number of life signatures flared up in his soul perception like blazing fireballs. They were one and a half kilometers away from them, coming from the direction that He Wei’s group had gone.
“What?!”
“There are that many life signatures?”
“More than two hundred of them? How is that possible!?”
Everyone was shocked.
“What are they, Qin Lie? Could they be foreign races?” Even Du Xiangyang eyes held fear within them.
The instant he said that, chills ran down the bodies of Huang Zhuli, Ye Yihao, Feng Yiyou, and Yu Men.
Years ago, during another Trial in the Land of Chaos, martial practitioners from the nine great Silver rank forces inadvertently entered Asura World, the territory of the Asura Race which had been nourishing their strength for many years.
Out of every Trial that had ever taken place, that one was the most tragic…
All of the martial practitioners who participated in that Trial, were completely massacred by the people of the Asura Race. Several powerful martial practitioners were killed, and the Asura Race made use of the void passage to charge into the Land of Chaos, starting a grisly war that continued for ages.
As a result of this, blood flowed through the Land of Chaos like rivers, countless experts were annihilated, and many weaker forces disappeared.
That disaster had been carved into everyone’s hearts.
Could it be that, just when they were on the verge of seizing good fortune, they were about to encounter another foreign race that had been hidden in the Graveyard of Gods?
“It’s not a foreign race! They’re humans! They’re just like us!” Qin Lie roared.
“H-how is that possible? Among the nine great Silver rank forces of the Land of Chaos, the Trial participants of each force amounted to no more than twenty people. Even if none of us had died, it’d be impossible for there to be more than two hundred of us!” Pan Qianqian inadvertently cried out.
After how long all of them had engaged in bloody conflict, the martial practitioners of the nine great Silver rank forces had suffered terrible losses. Most of the lucky survivors were all present, so how could more than two hundred people suddenly appear?
“Could it be that the people outside let a new batch of participants in?” Du Xiangyang speculated.
“Impossible! Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain sealed the passageway after we entered. It definitely wouldn’t be opened again!” Feng Yiyou roared out.
“Then who could those two hundred people be?” Qin Lie asked.
“Maybe you sensed wrongly!” Feng Yiyou snorted.
“Qin Lie! I’m taking my leave first!” Chu Li completely trusted Qin Lie. Not daring to hesitate any further, he immediately charged in the direction that He Wei’s group had gone.
“Prepare for battle!” Qin Lie barked in a hollow voice.
While Ye Yihao, Yu Men, and everyone else were still hesitating, Du Xiangyang, Xue Moyan, Luo Chen, Song Tingyu, Xie Jingxuan, and Pan Qianqian pulled their spirit artifacts out one after another as if they were about to face a formidable foe.
They were preparing to face an unknown enemy.
