Chapter 350 The Giant Pit
At this moment, the people from the Imperial Observatory's celestial division also looked increasingly grim.
You Ruo Long Zi trembled and muttered, "Could it be that Chen Xuan was right?"
Teacher Gong looked at Xu Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, don't you have heavenly eyes and a way to break this ghost wall?"
Xu Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she said with difficulty, "Feng Shui masters rely on observing qi to break obstacles. Although I have opened my heavenly eyes, the fog is so dense now that I can't see anything. If this fog doesn't dissipate, we might all be trapped and die here."
Her slightly hoarse voice made the surrounding atmosphere even more somber.
Teacher Gong's heart trembled, and he was filled with regret. He sighed, "If only we had listened to Chen Xuan earlier, perhaps we wouldn't be trapped here."
The lack of trust in Chen Xuan this time was undoubtedly fatal!
You Ruo Long grabbed Teacher Gong's arm and pleaded, "Teacher Gong, what should we do? I'm still young, and I don't want to die here."
In the face of life and death, You Ruo Long had lost all his demeanor as an internal energy grandmaster.
"It's all Chen Xuan's fault. If he hadn't cursed us, we wouldn't have been caught in this ghost wall!"
Even now, You Ruo Long was still slandering Chen Xuan.
"Slap!"
A slap landed heavily on You Ruo Long's face. Two of You Ruo Long's teeth were knocked out onto the ground, and his mouth was full of blood. He looked quite pathetic.
"Teacher, why did you hit me?"
You Ruo Long covered his face and looked at Teacher Gong in disbelief.
"If you hadn't slandered Chen Xuan, why wouldn't we have believed Chen Xuan?"
Teacher Gong was furious and slapped You Ruo Long twice more on both sides of his face. You Ruo Long cried out miserably.
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong! If I see Chen Xuan again, I'll definitely apologize to him!" You Ruo Long finally caved.
Xu Jiaojiao felt pity and advised, "Teacher Gong, please be merciful. The road ahead is difficult. If we lose You Ruo Long, we might not be able to move an inch."
She wasn't trying to help You Ruo Long, but she felt that losing him now would be very disadvantageous for them, as this dense white fog was the most dangerous time.
"That's right, Teacher Gong. I'll be useful later. I will definitely atone for my mistakes." You Ruo Long pleaded.
Silence, a long silence.
After a moment, Teacher Gong spoke, "Your time has come!"
His voice was very hoarse.
The group in front stopped. At some point, many beasts, much larger and stronger than normal tigers and leopards, stood at the front, staring at them menacingly. Their gaping mouths dripped with saliva.
"These beasts are affected by the malevolent energy and are far more powerful than ordinary ones."
Everyone's hearts sank again. Many grandmasters stepped forward,
A great battle was imminent!
...
Compared to the perilous situation on Su Cheng's side, Chen Xuan's path was smooth. He didn't even see a small animal on the road, and after a short walk, even the dense fog had dispersed.
"Chen Xuan, look quickly, what is that?" Zhao Jing suddenly said in surprise.
Chen Xuan turned his head and his expression also changed slightly.
Ahead lay a cemetery, with graves everywhere, tilted and askew, some even exposing coffins.
Looking into the distance, there were at least ten thousand graves, shrouded in rolling malevolent energy, as if paying homage in a certain direction.
It was eerie and terrifying!
A chill ran from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads!
"What is this?" Even Shi Tou couldn't help but ask.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to speak, the Feng Shui master from the Zhao family, looking at the ten thousand graves, spoke.
"This is a Ten Thousand Man Grave!"
"It is said that Emperor Huizong of Song was extremely superstitious and desired immortality. After ascending the throne, he sent his trusted Feng Shui master, An Shaojun, to refine elixirs and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build tombs. Emperor Huizong wished to be buried here after his death to attain immortality!"
"However, Emperor Huizong died in Wugucheng. The generations-old Feng Shui master, An Shaojun, seized the opportunity and buried himself here, making more than ten thousand soldiers who accompanied him his escorts to guard the tomb and prevent grave robbers!"
"I never thought it was true!"
The Feng Shui master from the Zhao family trembled as he looked at the ten thousand graves.
Zhao Jing looked at Chen Xuan. She trusted Chen Xuan more. Chen Xuan nodded, "Master Lu's words are correct, this is indeed the Ten Thousand Man Grave! This Ten Thousand Man Grave was enhanced by An Shaojun using Feng Shui mystic arts, and the resentment is soaring."
"Chen Xuan, are we almost there?" Zhao Jing quickly came to Chen Xuan's side.
Chen Xuan glanced at the Ten Thousand Man Grave and nodded, "Yes."
"That's great! I've already confirmed that the others haven't arrived yet," Zhao Jing said with a smile.
"Let's go, we'll go ahead and take a look."
Chen Xuan had a look at the terrain, which was not very optimistic. He waved his hand. This time, everyone followed Chen Xuan closely, not leaving his side. As they walked, they witnessed Chen Xuan's abilities. Chen Xuan was their backbone.
After a while, they arrived before a giant pit. Malevolent energy filled the pit, as if armored lonely souls were dancing within the pit. Further down, there were tangled piles of white bones.
But at the bottom, a surging life force erupted!
Hiss!
"The sacred medicine is in this giant pit! The sacred medicine is in this giant pit!"
"In such a place with dense malevolent energy, the sacred medicine that grows must be a treasure!"
The Feng Shui master from the Zhao family also sensed the powerful life force in the giant pit, excitedly slapping his thigh and shouting.
Others were also delighted.
"That's wonderful! We can get that sacred medicine!"
Cheers erupted, and people were like injected with chicken blood, but no one noticed Chen Xuan's solemn expression.
Just as everyone was rubbing their hands together, ready to go down and pick the fruits of victory, Chen Xuan suddenly shouted, "Don't act rashly! This malevolent energy is extraordinary. If you go down, you might never return!"
In the face of the sacred medicine, everyone looked at him with disbelief.
"Alright, everyone stop!" Zhao Jing commanded.
Everyone hesitated.
Finally, they thought that if it weren't for Chen Xuan, they wouldn't have been able to reach here so easily. They stopped.
"But what should we do?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Now the sacred medicine is right in front of us, are we just going to wait like this? Chen Xuan, you're not planning to take it all for yourself, are you?" Tian Feng was very unhappy.
"How dare you be rude to my Big Brother?"
Shi Tou stepped forward.
His voice was deep and muffled, but combined with Shi Tou's ferocious strength, it was extremely imposing!
A third-grade internal energy grandmaster!
Tian Feng's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with apprehension and solemnity.
"If I force my way down, do you think you can stop me?" Tian Feng snorted coldly.
But at this moment, the Feng Shui master from the Zhao family threw a protective talisman down. The talisman immediately burned in mid-air!
The talisman was surrounded by black flames, very strange. Squeaking sounds, like ghostly wails.
Even Tian Feng, seeing this, was so frightened that he took two steps back and no longer dared to mention going down.
"Everyone, absolutely do not act rashly. The malevolent energy is very dense now."
Zhao Jing looked at the talisman surrounded by black flames, her heart filled with lingering fear.
"Chen Xuan, what do we do next?"
Zhao Jing turned her pretty face. All the way here, Chen Xuan had become her backbone. Whenever something happened, she would ask Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan explained, "We can only wait! According to my estimation, when the sacred medicine at the bottom of the giant pit reaches its final stage of maturity, it will absorb this malevolent energy. Only then can we go down!"
"Then we'll wait," Zhao Jing said.
"I'm afraid the dense fog behind us will dissipate!"
Chen Xuan gazed into the dense white fog behind him.
If the white fog dispersed, presumably the Su family of the capital and others would escape...
