Chapter 1169 - Murderous Intention, Sand Rises (2/2)
The elites in the dao of heaven could not help but gather together. They intended to gather everyone’s intelligence to solve the problem before their eyes.
The old, mysterious zither player was the first to nod his head in agreement.
“The black sandstorm will not last for long. If we stay in this place for too long, we’ll never be able to leave. I agree that we should gather everyone’s strength to break out of this place.”
“This place is definitely one spot of the desert palace. Aside from the forces of power from the royal family, no one has the money or power to create such a large palace in the middle of the desert.”
“There are definitely mechanisms in the palace that will bring us out of this place.”
“It’s a pity that the formation masters I brought here died in the tunnel, or else, they might be of help.”
Aside from Dongfang Bubai and the mysterious man in the fanged mask, the others spoke of their thoughts and suggestions.
“Let’s do this. Everyone, we’ll split up to search everywhere. We’ll see if there are any traps on the walls around us. Have some people stay back with me so that we can check just what’s going on with the flowing sand pits.” Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was, no matter what, the leader of the plains. Naturally, he placed himself at a position above the others, and he started giving out instructions.
If this were any other time, the elites in the dao of heaven would ignore the martial paragon, because they were lords of their own territories. But now, they were in a hurry to leave, and Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s suggestion was reasonable. A few of the elites in the dao of heaven sent their subordinates to search for mechanisms on the wall. The remaining elites in the dao of heaven, Happy, Thousand-faced Human Fox, Wan Wan, and Hou Xibai stayed to check the flowing sand pits around the area.
“Xibai.”
Evil King discreetly beckoned the Womanizer over, and there was a frown on his face. “Go and check whether there’s any profound secret hidden in the sand pits.”
“Understood, Master.”
Hou Xibai was the youngest man aside from Happy in the crowd. He was elegant and gave off a carefree air. When he heard this, he shut his fan, bowed, and carried out his instructions.
Happy stood by the side quietly and watched.
The diameter of the flowing sand pits was more than thirty feet long. It would be a difficult thing to search for the secret behind them.
“Wan Wan, go and help him.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Wan Wan had always been obedient and smart before Empress Yin. She nodded and arrived next to Hou Xibai. Both of them arrived in front of a flowing sand pit.
They looked at each other, and Wan Wan activated Great Sky Demon Art.
Her Sky Demon Aura was activated, and a suction force as great as a whirlwind appeared out of nowhere.
At the same time, the sand in the pit was affected for a period of time, and they started to roll about slowly.
As Sky Demon Aura was fully activated, the sand in the pit started flowing faster. It was like a whirlpool in the deep sea, and it was very threatening.
“It’s time…”
Hou Xibai kept his eyes trained on the sand whirlpool. He focused and held his breath. Then, he raised his hand to deliver a fierce punch into the sand.
Boom!
Since he delivered his punch quickly, the sand whirlpool exploded like powerful explosives.
A great power exploded from the sand whirlpool.
A loud sound rose, and a sand waterfall that was hundreds of feet tall rose into the air. It was so magnificent that it attracted everyone’s attention in the hall.
However, the elites in the dao of heaven who were near the pit were not shocked by the sand waterfall. They ignored the sand that filled the air and stared at the pit that had lost most of its sand without blinking.
When Hou Xibai and Wan Wan attacked the pit together, most of the sand in the pit had spilled out. Immediately, the pit became much more empty, and they could instantly see what was inside clearly.
But what surprised them was that when the sand filled the air and the pit became once more, no sand fell from above them to fill up the pit.
There were no signs of any traps in the pit either.
When they saw this, the elites in the dao of heaven frowned, as if they could not quite accept this fact.
The sand spread out into a large area and fell back. Empress Yin, who stood near the pit, swung her arm.
A whirlwind was formed.
The large sand waterfall quickly turned into a huge whirlpool as Empress Yin executed her Great Sky Demon Art. It changed direction, and the sand covered the smooth ground nearby.
It instantly allowed them to avoid the danger of being covered by the sand.
Empress Yin’s attack did not cause anyone to be bothered by it.
Their gazes fell on the sand that filled up the bottom of the pit.
At this moment, someone attacked.
“Get up!”
The mysterious elite seemed to be unable to stand the atmosphere in this place. He placed a hand at the air over the pit and pushed down lightly in the direction of the pit below him.
The sand in the pit seemed to have been squashed down by a huge hand. A huge dent appeared out of nowhere.
Everyone stared at it, and the mysterious elite seized air with a cold, fierce gaze.
Boom!
Wind danced madly in the pit. A large amount of sand flew out. The cloak of the person in black armor started fluttering madly. But he stood like a tower and did not move.
Deep in the pit was a sword which was covered in rust. Less than one foot of its body was revealed. It had been a long time since it was buried, and it had already lost its splendor. But as it stood straight in the pit, it gave off a prideful sword will, causing all the people in the area to tremble because of it.
