534 Eye! (2/2)
That's just too powerful! Zhao Yameng was shaken as she held her breath and looked at Zhuo Yifan, before realizing that he was also looking at her. Astonishment could be seen in each of their eyes.
At that moment, Wang Baole stood up and slowly closed his eyes again. He gradually toned down on his aura. Several moments later, after his aura was completely dissipated, he reopened his eyes again. There was no longer any lightning or Dark Fire. However, after noticing Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng's facial expressions, Wang Baole hurriedly blinked. Maintaining his previous demeanor, he raised his chin and perked up his tummy, speaking nonchalantly.
”Zhao Yameng, tell me the truth. Are you secretly in love with me?”
As Wang Baole spoke, Zhuo Yifan, who despite still maintaining a mighty posture, slapped his forehead as he wondered about why the fella before him had a habit of taking liberties of others regardless of the situation…
As for Zhao Yameng, she was indeed taken aback by Wang Baole's aura previously, but when she heard those words, a look of unfriendliness could instantly be seen in her eyes.
Wang Baole chuckled looking at the duo's facial expressions, before hurriedly dissipating his aura. As he patted his tummy, he spoke arrogantly.
”How's that? Now the both of you know how formidable the Chairman of the Adonis Association is, huh?”
Zhao Yameng snorted, while Zhuo Yifan shook his head while laughing bitterly. However, he still felt that the Wang Baole who behaved in that manner was the Wang Baole that they were familiar with. The sense of unfamiliarity that previously arose due to Wang Baole's astonishing aura dissipated with Wang Baole's cheekiness. Soon, after some discussion, the trio made preparations to leave.
”Even though all of us have achieved a breakthrough, the journey back is still dangerous. We should remain vigilant.” After Wang Baole made those last-minute reminders, the trio took a deep breath and unleashed their full speed. The donkey was thrown back into the storage bag by Wang Baole.
The area they were in was the periphery. Therefore, as the trio charged forward, they soon reached the dividing line between the land of inheritance and the Sea of Fire. They didn't stop and directly crossed over the line. The moment they did that, a heatwave greeted them, instantly dehydrating them and making them feel the obvious difference between the land of inheritance and the world outside.
Even the skies were different. The skies over the land of inheritance were pitch-black, with only three cracks revealing a red glow. Every once in a while, the dark screen would spread, plunging the area into darkness instantly. However, the skies here were a deep red color, and looking at it through the lens of Wang Baole's current level of cultivation, he could vaguely see that there was an unimaginable fire burning behind this deep red-colored sky. It was like a liquid and a gas at the same time, and couldn't be easily described.
Seems like we have been teleported to the depths of the sword body… Wang Baole was extremely vigilant as he observed the surroundings. At the same time, he was calling out for Little Missy in his mind. He needed to know which direction to head in before returning to the sword handle region from the sword body region.
As Wang Baole called for Little Missy, the trio seemed to have sensed something and turned their heads around one after another. They noticed that the dark screen had appeared once again over the land of inheritance that they had just left. Looking at it from the outside, they could gain a clear view. They realized that the skies weren't covered by a growing dark screen. Instead, a dark screen had risen up from the ground along the border before turning crescent-shaped and covering the entire land of inheritance whole. Overall, it seemed like a large semicircle that was gradually forming!
That shocked the trio and injected them with a sense of familiarity. Zhao Yameng was the first to react to this, and she hurriedly spoke.
”Don't you guys think that this land of inheritance looks like… an eye?
”The black-colored area in the middle of the land is the pupil, while the white-colored area of the ground is the sclera. The dark screen occasionally appears, and it is likely the eyelids opening and closing when the eye blinks!”
