C492 Who to trust?
A line of sky … Chu Chen slightly recalled in his mind, and very quickly, he remembered that on the map, at the boundary between the third and fourth Fire Domain, there was indeed a canyon called a line of sky.
With a specific coordinates, a route appeared in his mind in an instant. Chu Chen walked in silence and led the way.
Very quickly, half a day passed. They had long since left the battlefield.
"He led the way, didn't he?" At this moment, the people from the Heavenly Luo Sect and the disciples from the Purple Flame Sect couldn't help but suspect.
After half a day, this fellow remained silent. Even if he were to encounter two different paths, he didn't stop at all. He walked straight towards one of them.
If he didn't have a map, how could he be sure that he was walking the right path?
"That's right, that's right." Ding Yuan took out a map from his hand and read it carefully.
Hearing this, the faces of everyone from the two Sects went blank. He hadn't noticed that the map he had brought was actually on the right path. How did he do that?
"Let him continue on his way. After all, as long as the path he's taken is different from the map, we'll settle our scores with him." Ding Yuan harrumphed coldly and said.
"You want to settle the score with me?" Chu Chen sneered in his heart when he heard it from the front. He was only responsible for leading the disciples of the Heavenly Luo Sect, and he, Ding Yuan, was a disciple of the Purple Flame Sect.
"This guy, it's best if you don't provoke me, or else …" A cold light flashed past Chu Chen's eyes, and without saying a word, he continued to walk forward.
Before long, another intersection appeared in front of them. A total of three paths that were not burned down by the flames, and they continued on in three different directions.
Chu Chen only needed to recall a little to find the right path in his mind.
"This way to the left."
After he finished speaking, he did not stop and walked towards the leftmost path. He only wanted to bring this group of people to the farthest corner of the sky as soon as possible and then leave. He did not want to have any contact with them.
"Wait a minute!"
Ding Yuan suddenly shouted, causing everyone to stop and look at him in confusion.
"This path is wrong." Ding Yuan said word by word as he looked at Chu Chen, revealing a trace of coldness in his eyes.
The other party had just taken him on the wrong path. He was courting death!
"Ding Yuan, do you have any evidence?" Shen Lan asked.
"Evidence?" "A map is evidence." Ding Yuan took out the map again and showed it to everyone.
"Did you see that? This road is clearly marked with this road. We should take the middle road, but he took us to the left."
Everyone looked at the map and a hint of anger appeared on their faces.
Sure enough, on the map, the middle path led to the sky, while the left path Chu Chen brought them to led to an unknown place.
"Why did you take us the wrong way? What do you mean?" Shen Lan was also slightly angry. Even now, she still didn't understand why Elder Xun wanted him to bring everyone to a new heaven, and why people who follow Purple Flame Sect can also go there.
"Wrong path?" Chu Chen's eyes congealed, could it be that there was a problem with the map he was carrying?
"Show me the map in your hands." Chu Chen said to Ding Yuan. As long as he took a look, he would be able to determine if there was anything wrong with the map on his body.
"Hmm? You want the map in my hands? " Ding Yuan looked wary.
"You don't even dare to give me a mere map. Are you scared?" Chu Chenlu let out a cold laugh.
"I'm not afraid."
In a fit, Ding Yuan handed the map over.
"Here you go!"
Taking the map, Chu Chen began to examine it. After a moment, the doubt in his eyes disappeared, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that the map on his body was fake, but that the map in Ding Yuan's hands was too inferior and could only draw the fifth Fire Domain.
Moreover, after the third Fire Domain, there were many places that were completely empty. Comparatively, the beast skin map on his body had been drawn in great detail. Although it only covered a third of the Burning Fire Domain, its coverage was far more than the map in Ding Yuan's hands.
Moreover, on the beast skin map, all the places where there were Demonic Beast were marked, but not on the map that Ding Yuan was holding.
What he said about the man in the middle path was correct, but on this path, not much further, they would encounter a Demonic Beast's lair, which was not weaker than the Flaming Devil Beast.
As for the left path, it was much safer. There was another reason why Ding Yuan was so sure that the left path was fake.
The map in his hand showed the road to the left leading to a blank area.
In actuality, he hadn't drawn this map yet, so it was very clear on the beast skin map.
The road to the left clearly led to a line. It was closer and safer than the road in the middle.
"This map of yours, there are so many places that have not been drawn out yet. He even said that the left path is wrong, he really is ignorant." Chu Chen threw the map to him and continued to walk towards the left.
"Nonsense, this map was bought at a huge price by our Purple Flame Sect, how could there be any mistakes. The road on the left obviously leads to an unknown area, what are you going to use to guarantee our safety?" Ding Yuan said coldly. This guy dared to call him ignorant, saying that there were many places on the map that had not been drawn out. His words were truly hateful.
"It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I am only responsible for leading the people from the Heavenly Luo Sect. Please feel free to do so with your Purple Flame Sect."
Chu Chen didn't bother to say anything either. He originally didn't have any contact with Purple Flame Sect, and even more so, didn't help them out with everything he had.
He had just warned them that if they insisted on taking the middle path, and if anything happened, it had nothing to do with him, Chu Chen.
Ding Yuan choked on Chu Chen's words and his expression froze. His gaze kept changing and he had wanted to attack this guy for a long time.
However, there was no good excuse for him to make a move. After all, Elder Xun was the one who had appointed this kid to lead the disciples of the Tian Luo Sect. If he killed him for no reason, there might be a chance of a conflict between their Purple Flame Sect and Tian Luo Sect.
"Come, let's take the middle road and see how they die."
Ding Yuan coldly snorted. With a wave of his hand, he led his disciples and resolutely walked towards the middle path. He did not invite Shen Lan and the others.
After all, the two sects did not have a deep relationship with each other, and if all the members of the Heavenly Luo Sect were dead, then it would only benefit Ding Purple Flame Sect.
This way, they would have one less competitor to compete for the Flame Essence in the near future.
They had previously agreed to go together with Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan was using the Tian Luo Sect. If they met with danger, he could also use their powers to deal with it.
Now, under Chu Chen's guidance, the Sky Luo Sect had walked on the wrong path, which meant that they would most likely die. Ding Yuan naturally did not wish to continue travelling together.
He did not want to bring his men to their deaths, nor did he want to bring the people from the Tian Luo Sect with him.
"Senior Sister Shen Lan, this fellow is an ignorant fool who doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. If we follow him, we definitely won't have a good ending. Why don't you say a few nice words to Ding Yuan and let us follow him?"
The cold and arrogant girl, Qianmei, came to Shen Lan's side and hastily said.
Looking at Chu Chen, then looking at Ding Yuan and the others who were about to leave, Shen Lan hesitated.
Elder Xun asked them to follow Chu Chen, and they would listen to Chu Chen. But now, the road he was leading them on was not secure, so if they continued to follow him, there might be danger.
However, if he followed Ding Yuan, he would not listen to Elder Xun. At the same time, there was no evidence to prove that Ding Yuan was on the right path.
"I promise you elders, I will bring you to a new level. If you all listen to me, no one will be in any danger. Of course, you can also not listen to me, but if you encounter any danger, it has nothing to do with me. After all, this is a deal.1
Chu Chen's tone of voice was very cold and straightforward, causing Shen Lan and the rest's expressions to become sluggish.
However, he was right. This was a deal after all. The life and death of the other party had nothing to do with him. There was no need for the other party to lie to him.
Thinking up to this point, Shen Lan already has an answer in her heart.
"I believe you once."
"Senior Sister Shen Lan, are you crazy? You're actually willing to follow him on that unknown path?" Qian Mei shouted.
"En!" Shen Lan nodded, "I'm sure."
When she said these words, she was conflicted. However, after gritting her teeth, she steeled her resolve.
Although she believed in Chu Chen, in truth, she believed in Elder Xun. Since this person was willing to bring them to the Heaven, then Elder Xun must have some sort of guarantee.
"If you want to die with him, I'm not willing." Qian Mei looked at Chu Chen coldly, then turned her head and chased after the people from Purple Flame Sect.
For the sake of life, she was willing to abandon the disciples of the same sect and leave with the people from the Purple Flame Sect.
"Senior Sister Shen Lan, we …" In the Heavenly Luo Sect, there were a few more people who spoke with an awkward expression on their faces.
"Those of you who are willing to go, go. As long as you can safely arrive at the Heaven Line." Shen Lan waved her hand, her eyes showing a trace of disappointment.
"Then we will be leaving. Senior Sister Shen Lan, take care."
Immediately after, a few other disciples of the Tian Luo Sect left, and like Qian Mei, they chose to follow Purple Flame Sect.
Before death, they chose not to listen to the words of the elders, threw away their dignity, abandoned their sects, and chose to follow the Purple Flame Sect which had a competitive relationship with the Heavenly Luo Sect.
At this moment, there were only five people left.
