Chapter 660: Doubt

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The activation of the barrier also meant that Ye Qiubai’s guess was right.

As long as everyone was present, they would be able to open this Secret Land of Inheritance.

This also confirmed Ye Qiubai’s thoughts.

The Death Soul City was a man-made training ground.

If no one investigated the situation here, for example, the Land of Inheritance required 10 soul marks to open but only nine people passed and there were only nine soul marks, wouldn’t it become unable to be opened?

Therefore, there must be someone controlling the barrier here. When all the martial cultivators who passed the first round, which was the outer city test, arrived here, the barrier would be opened.

Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but look up at the resplendent Milky Way that traversed the sky.

Just who was it that was able to construct such a world?

At this moment, a familiar voice attracted Ye Qiubai’s attention.

“Brother Ye!”

Ye Qiubai turned around and saw Zhuang Zidong walking towards him with a surprised expression.

“Brother Zhuang, where are Chu Lan and Chi Bing?”

Zhuang Zidong shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but don’t worry. Even I passed the test. The two of them will definitely be fine. They must have gone to another Secret Land of Heritage.”

Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.

Then, he nodded.

There were many Secret Land of Inheritances in Death Soul City, so there was naturally more than one Sword Dao inheritance.

As the two of them conversed, the sword intent barrier in front of the mountain col completely dissipated.

The moment it spread out, the immortal sword intent from the stone walls on both sides of the mountain col was like a prehistoric ferocious beast that had been suppressed for a long time. Now that it broke out of its cage, it surged towards the nine people, including Ye Qiubai, like a surging river, setting off tempestuous waves that swept over!

Any sword cultivators who could arrive here were not simple people.

They stood with their swords in hand and released their cultivation and Sword Intent with all their might, enveloping themselves!

Here, Ye Qiubai’s cultivation realm was the lowest. Zhuang Zidong was also a half-step Turbid Immortal.

The other seven were all in the Turbid Immortal Realm.

However, this wave of Immortal Sword Intent only had some impact and did not emit any offensive power.

If it was aggressive, most people would probably stay here forever before they even entered the mountain col.

The Sword Intent wave that had been suppressed for a long time gradually faded after a short eruption.

It permeated the surroundings of this mystic realm.

The small path in the mountain col was also completely revealed before everyone’s eyes.

However, Ye Qiubai and the others didn’t move.

In the outer city trials of Death Soul City, they could already predict how dangerous this Death Soul City trial would be.

It was normal to be vigilant.

At this moment, someone said coldly, “Le Zhengchi, since you’re here, do you want to give it a try first?”

Le Zhengchi?

When the others heard this name, they were slightly stunned.

“No wonder he looks familiar. So it’s him?”

“I should have thought of it long ago. There’s only one sword cultivator in the entire Middle Latitude Realm who holds a zither.”

“Even he has come to this place… The Secret Land of Inheritance is not going to be easy this time…”

Ye Qiubai looked at Zhuang Zidong and asked, “Do you know this person?”

Zhuang Zidong frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a few breaths, he said, “I seem to have some impression of him. Perhaps Master mentioned him before.”

“This person seems to be a disciple expelled from the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect.”

“It’s just that I’m not too sure what exactly happened.”

Ye Qiubai looked deeply at Zhuang Zidong and nodded slightly.

However, if that was the case…

In that case, it was normal for Le Zhengchi to show hatred when he heard that he was from the Heavenly Sword Peak Sect.

Le Zhengchi did not turn his head. He held the zither with both hands and said in a flat tone, “Su Hao, this is not the Su family. Control your young master’s temper. Otherwise, the Su family will not know who did it if you died here.”

A member of the Su family?

Ye Qiubai glanced sideways.

It seemed that Su Muyou and the other three from the Su family were not the only ones participating in The Great Tournament.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Since there was no limit on the number of people, the more people there were, the better.

Hearing this, Su Hao’s face instantly darkened, looking extremely ugly.

“Your arrogant personality has never changed. Do you think you can kill me?”

“You can try.”

Yue Zhengchi’s expression was calm. As he spoke, he placed a finger on the strings of the guqin.

He was ready to pluck the strings at any time!

Su Hao’s expression also tensed up when he saw Le Zhengchi’s actions.

Even though his strength was not bad and he had already reached Beginner Stage Turbid Immortal Realm, he was still not strong enough to face Le Zhengchi, who was at the Intermediate Stage Turbid Immortal Realm.

“There’s no need to argue here.”

Suddenly, a person stood between the two of them, blocking the confrontational aura.

The elegant young man with a sword at his waist smiled faintly and said, “In any case, there will definitely be competition in the mystic realm. What’s the point of wasting your energy here?”

Le Zhengchi finally turned his head to look at the refined man and said, “Qiu Lu, compared to Su Hao’s stupidity, I still hate your hypocrisy more. At least he won’t hide his stupidity much.”

Su Hao’s expression changed again.

On the other hand, Qiu Lu maintained his refined smile. Even when Le Zhengchi said those words, there was not the slightest fluctuation in the process!

This person was very shrewd.

Ye Qiubai glanced at this Qiu Lu.

Qiu Lu paid no attention to Le Zhengchi’s mockery. Instead, he spread out his hands and said, “Since no one wants to go up, why don’t we do this? The person with the lowest cultivation level here will go and scout the way first?”

The person with the lowest cultivation level.

Everyone investigated slightly before their gazes landed on Ye Qiubai.

Ye Qiubai was the only one at Intermediate Stage Blood Transformation realm. His realm was indeed the lowest.

Qiu Lu looked at Ye Qiubai with a refined smile, “Fellow Daoist, what do you think?”

Ye Qiubai’s expression was calm. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Lu. “Do I have any room to refuse?”

This person’s words made the others lock their gazes on him.

If he refused, he would only become the target of public criticism.

There was a huge pit in front and behind him. In front of him was the exploration of an unknown territory. Danger and opportunity coexisted.

Behind them was the siege of the others.

Ye Qiubai could only choose one side to jump in.

As for the other seven people here, they were all at the Turbid Immortal Realm. Under the siege of five Beginner Stage Turbid Immortals and two Intermediate Stage Turbid Immortals, they could probably only forcefully pull out the Green Cloud Sword…

Of course, after pulling out the Green Cloud Sword, Ye Qiubai would be in an extremely weak state for a period of time.

Be it physical strength, spiritual qi, or the soul.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai shrugged and walked towards the mountain col filled with the will of the immortal sword.

Seeing this, Zhuang Zidong hesitated for a moment before following behind Ye Qiubai.

Regarding this, Ye Qiubai, who originally wanted to refuse, paused and didn’t say anything. He let Zhuang Zidong follow..
