117 Seal! (2/2)

With that thought, Wang Baole immediately had the impression that the five bodies surrounding the long, blue spear indeed seemed to be protecting the bead.

This… if I take the blue bead away, will a catastrophe occur?

Wang Baole suddenly grew nervous, and as he tried to take another look at the sculpture, his body was pulled toward the exit, into the pathway, and swiftly toward the outside.

From afar, Wang Baole appeared like a small mountain, carrying a large pail. Puppets hung on the edge of the pail, each carrying bags of objects. At the same time, four corpses were being dragged along with the big pail.

Wang Baole struggled, and when he suddenly turned to look at the four corpses that he had thrown on the pail, his pupils suddenly constricted. Previously, due to the distance, Wang Baole had not paid much attention to the corpses. Furthermore, all his attention had been on the long, blue spear, so he had not taken a close look at the corpses.

Right now, as he took a closer look at the four corpses, he realized that inscriptions were present on their bodies. On their glabellae, purple markings were also visible!

Those markings seemed to be accumulations of faces of varying expressions that had shrunk significantly!

They looked identical to the faces that had been suppressed by the seal from the sculpture previously!

This discovery instantly instilled fear in Wang Baole's heart and also busted his previous theory.

They were not protecting but were suppressing the blue bead?

Wang Baole was slightly bewildered, but he still felt that something was amiss. Eventually, his eyes flashed, and a bold guess appeared in his mind.

Could it be that I made a wrong interpretation? Could it be that, regardless of whether it was the corpses or the long, blue spear, they were actually objects that the faces used to suppress the sculpture? Therefore, after I took the blue bead away, the mysterious fog dissipated, revealing the sculpture, making the faces grow crazy trying to regain it, eventually causing the sculpture to revive in order to suppress them?

With a lack of clues, it was difficult for Wang Baole to make a clear judgment. However, he was certain that the bodies that he had brought out were definitely related to the purple glow that had previously wanted to swallow him!

I need to figure this out. Why did the purple glow want to swallow me? Could it be due to the nine-inch Spirit Root? The voice previously said that an extremist has been found. Could it be that the nine-inch Spirit Root was the extremist? However, after waking up, the spirit meridians within me exceeded ninety or even a hundred percent… Wang Baole thought as his body was being pulled along the path out of the fragment mountain.

The series of events made him realize just how mysterious and unpredictable the entire place was, especially after he understood that the place that he had been in previously was merely considered the periphery compared to the entire fragment mountain. He had been far from its core.

After all, his cultivation and speed, coupled with the time constraints, made it impossible for him to reach the core.

Even the periphery is so mysterious. What else could be hiding in the depths of this fragment mountain?

Wang Baole took in a deep breath. As his body was pulled away, he looked at the fragment mountain that was becoming increasingly distant, and a wave of respect welled up in his heart.

While paying his respect to the fragment mountain on his journey out of it, students from the four major Dao Colleges continued to enter and exit. When they saw the exaggerated gains of Wang Baole, their respect for him grew even greater, to the extent of shock.

”Corpses!”

”Gosh, what did I just see? Corpses dressed in ancient robes, and there are more than one of them!”

”This is too over the top! Such a big pail with so many puppets carrying other objects hanging on it!”

A commotion instantly erupted, reverberating in the surroundings. Nobody noticed that a head with its eyes ferociously wide open had appeared silently in the periphery of the fragment mountain. It was the frightening figure from the fork in the road.

He stared in the direction where Wang Baole was heading. Gradually, its ferocious expression turned into a look of dismay, and it was seemingly doubtful. It was only after a long time had passed that it retreated once again.
