3653: C3653 Underground Hall

C3653 Underground Hall

Qing Zhao couldn't help but be moved by the Blood Mantis's invitation when he thought of the domineering attitude the Blood Mantis had displayed on behalf of the Black Feather Pavilion.

Seeing this, the blood mantis was instantly delighted. If he could really bring Jiang Ting's head back and win over one of the ten great geniuses, he would definitely be able to obtain countless benefits.

As for whether Qing Zhao would be able to gain the trust of the Black Feather Pavilion with his Golden Core cultivation base, and whether he would be able to obtain a relaxed oath... he didn't care.

Did he really think that the Black Feather Pavilion could enter and leave as they pleased? Once he agreed, he would go back on his word because of the careful and restrained oath he made... Besides the six sects, if not, no one would be able to raise their heads in front of the six sects!

"We're here." Sun Bai's voice suddenly sounded.

The blood mantis and Qing Zhao withdrew their gazes at the same time. After they had entered the depths of the earth for a long time, a stone door appeared in front of them.

Deep within the stone door was darkness.

The blood mantis ordered without hesitation, "Lead the way."

Sun Bai took a look, and then obediently entered the stone gate... He was submerged in darkness, and there were no traces of him.

The blood mantis and Qing Zhao frowned... there was a formation on the stone door. When they passed through the stone door, their tracks were concealed by the formation.

Qing Zhao subconsciously asked, "Will he set up an ambush behind us?"

"That's possible... but he won't dare." The blood mantis pondered for a moment before grinning. He stepped into the stone door and disappeared without a trace.

Qing Zhao hesitated for a moment before entering the stone door with caution.

There was no killing move or space crossing... behind the stone door was an underground tunnel.

Standing in the tunnel, he could clearly see the soil outside, and he could see Sun Bai's unwillingness, but he also restrained his anger.

The blood mantis's voice became serious. "There is Jiang Ting's aura here. He really did come in."

Qing Zhao sensed slightly when he heard this, and his expression became serious. Although the aura in the tunnel was very faint, it did indeed have Jiang Ting's aura.

If that aura was naturally dispersed, then as expected, Jiang Ting had appeared here about an hour ago.

They glanced at each other and then looked at Sun Bai in tacit understanding.

Sun Bai saw this and shook his head after a moment of silence, "I don't know."

Without waiting for an answer, he added, "Although he came to visit, he... is not as domineering as the two of you. He only searched the sect by himself. I didn't see him enter the underground. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have found this place."

"But in fact, his aura is scattered around this area." The blood mantis snorted coldly.

A bitter expression appeared on Sun Bai's face. "I really don't know."

Inwardly, he also felt regret. If he had known earlier that the Black Feather Pavilion would be so domineering, but he didn't know, even without his notice. Jiang Ting did not hide his whereabouts, but the Black Feather Pavilion would have received the news. The only difference was that it was one day earlier and one day later.

"He shouldn't be lying." Qing Zhao spoke again.

The blood mantis frowned and relaxed. "Lead the way. Let's go in and take a look... I don't believe he'll be able to leave with the treasure in an hour."

Sun Bai didn't lead the way. Instead, he spoke with hesitation, "That... the two of you might not know, but I'm sect master, and I can't control the formation here."

"So, the formation is going to attack us?" The blood mantis widened its eyes.

"No... it won't." Sun Bai hurriedly denied it, then quickly explained, "According to the records of the sect, this was originally a trial ground set up by the founding ancestor. Once one enters, no matter how high one's cultivation base is, one's cultivation base will definitely be suppressed... I am unable to control this place. Even if one enters, one's cultivation will be suppressed. "

His words were sincere, and didn't sound like he was lying.

"Lead the way and find Jiang Ting first." Qing Zhao didn't want to waste time talking nonsense with Sun Bai.

The group followed the tunnel and started to go deeper. As expected, just as they started to go deeper, the suppression from the formation descended.

The suppression was extremely fierce!

At this moment, only the ninth level of Qi Refining remained for the Golden Core cultivators. They weren't even at the Foundation Establishment stage.

After flying for about half a mile.

The blood mantis showed a hint of impatience. "How long is this tunnel? Since it's a trial, why can't I see anything? "

Sun Bai hurriedly explained, "I'm not sure either. I only heard that this trial was originally planned to be placed outside the mountain gate. After that, for some reason, the trial sank underground, and the tunnel appeared... But you two don't have to worry. The tunnel is not dangerous. It's simply a little longer."

Right now, Sun Bai had no other choice. He could only hope that the two of them could leave as soon as possible... In the future, whenever people from the six sects came, he would stay away from them and never dare to play any tricks on them.

As for plotting against the blood mantis and the other two... the blood mantis's dominance made it so that he didn't dare to have such thoughts.

Perhaps the Blood Mantis was right. Jiang Ting had been too gentle, which was why the Profound Thunder Sect had dared to think of betraying his whereabouts, and had even put it into practice.

About an hour later, the group of people left.

A corner finally appeared in the endless passage... After the corner, it suddenly became bright, and they reached the end.

The oval parallel tunnel suddenly expanded. In front of them, there was an open space that looked like a karst cave... The difference was that the karst cave was about 30 meters long and 40 to 50 meters wide.

In the karst cave, there was a large hall.

At the entrance of the hall, there was a stone tablet.

At the stone tablet, there was a person with his back facing them. He was looking at the stone tablet with his head lowered, as if he was looking at the words on the stone tablet, or as if he was looking at something.

Because the end was a corner, they did not expect to see a person here... and the person beside the stone tablet did not expect that someone would suddenly appear behind them.

However, the movement of the three of them still alarmed that person. That person instantly turned his head and saw their appearance clearly.

Jiang Ting!

That person in front of the stone monument, who could it be if not Jiang Ting?

He had previously discovered that he couldn't enter the tunnel directly, so he followed the path and smoothly walked to the end of the tunnel. He found the stone door, and entered the tunnel.

The suppression of the passage caused him to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, he did not leave, but continued to go deeper... He also did not encounter any danger, so he arrived here smoothly.

The door to the main hall opened wide.

However, he didn't enter.

It was not that he could not enter, but that he was unwilling to enter.

Speaking up to this point, he had no choice but to mention... the stone tablet.

Towards this place, the stone tablet had records.

Just like what Daoist Fresh Breeze had said to Sun Bai and the blood mantis, this place was a trial.

The main hall was a trial ground... probably. According to the records on the stone tablet, once one entered the main hall, they would begin the trial.

The stone tablet also had records of the trial's contents.

There were three stages.2

The first stage was the temperament of the trial.

Second stage, strength.

In the third trial, the stone tablet didn't record anything. As for what the trial was, no one knew.

According to the plan set up here, after passing the trial, one would be able to join the Mystic Lightning Sect and receive some sort of reward.

The reason Jiang Ting didn't go in was because he couldn't be bothered with the so-called trial by fire.... After all... How could he possibly join the Profound Thunder Sect? The trial by fire here had been set up a long time ago. Whether or not the current Profound Thunder Sect would join the trial by fire didn't matter to him at all.
