826: Chapter 238_4 826: Chapter 238_4 Li Ke said begrudgingly, “There’s no need to mention it, I haven’t complained about anything.” She was the most aggrieved of all; this time it was agreed that she would receive the lion’s share, but the result was just this kind of map.
Of course, one couldn’t say the map was unimportant.
After all, she knew that the formation of this ruin seemed to be due to those five maps, and now, they had obtained two of them.
The greatest treasure of this ruin could very likely be to assemble all five maps.
However, now that they had two maps, they couldn’t see anything special about them.
Perhaps, only by gathering all five would something change,
but for the other three maps, they currently had no clues at all.
Everyone searched on the platform for a long time without finding other treasures and could only continue walking along the path.
After passing the platform, everyone was even more amazed to find that the stairs in front of them didn’t differentiate between going up or down as before.
There was no formation on the road ahead.
As the group proceeded, they soon came to a stone door.
With a gentle push from their hands, the stone door opened effortlessly, and they finally stepped outside.
At that moment, everyone’s expressions grew more complex.
This time, while it could be said to be dangerous, in truth, they hadn’t experienced any attacks.
But to say it wasn’t dangerous—if it weren’t for Li Ke happening to wake up, and if it weren’t for her physical weakness, they probably would still be trapped inside the tower, not knowing how much longer they would be stuck there.
However, after all their efforts and leaving the tower, they felt they had gained little.
Yet, oddly enough, one of the maps they had obtained seemed to be one of the five that formed the ruin.
Soon, Linghu Gudu pulled out a map and said to the others, “We have already completed one map, but we have another one.
Perhaps we should look at this other map.
Shall we follow the other map?”
Cao Zhen and the others exchanged glances and nodded slightly, as that was their only option now.
Soon, they got up and started moving forward following the other map.
However, after leaving the tower, it was already afternoon.
They hadn’t flown for long before the sky gradually darkened, and they quickly found a cave and entered it.
When they first entered the ruin, perhaps because everyone was on the periphery, they were actually able to encounter other people, even entering other people’s caves twice.
Later, someone broke into their cave and tried to attack them.
Now, perhaps because they were delving deeper into the ruin, everyone had gone deeper into different locations, and it had been a long time since they had seen anyone else.
Upon entering the cave, Li Ke was arranged by everyone to sit at the very back of the cave and began to practice cultivation in meditation.
Cao Zhen then turned on China Cloud.
This time, instead of rushing to the Eclipse Demon, he first contacted his parents and spoke with them for a while before connecting with Little Beiyan.
He observed the situation at Hundred Peaks Sect through Little Beiyan.
Now, it had been almost two months since he had left Hundred Peaks Sect.
During this period, there had been no changes at Hundred Peaks Sect, nor had any major events occurred; everything was as usual.
However, Little Beiyan seemed to quite like the person named Zhu Peng.
Observing him, Cao Zhen noticed that Little Beiyan scarcely practiced cultivation; he mostly spent his time coaching Zhu Peng’s cultivation.
After watching for a while, Cao Zhen disconnected and began connecting to the Eclipse Demon.
In a twisted and narrow corridor, the Eclipse Demon and Qian Jiao walked side by side.
Cao Zhen was momentarily stunned.
It had been so long, and while he and the others had been delayed in the tower, he was already out, yet they were still wandering aimlessly in that maze-like place.
How much longer were they planning to wander aimlessly?
Or perhaps, the place they were heading to, like the one he was in, actually had a formation, but they hadn’t found a way to break it yet?
After walking a distance, the Eclipse Demon and Qian Jiao came across three forks in the road again, but this time, Qian Jiao did not immediately venture down one.
Instead, she took out a special sheet of talisman paper from her bosom.
The next moment, she raised a finger, on which several small blue flowers were painted on her nail, and lightly slashed it across one of her index fingers, immediately causing it to bleed.
Qian Jiao used the blood to quickly draw on the talisman paper.
A map!
Cao Zhen recognized at a glance that what Qian Jiao was drawing was a map, and the Eclipse Demon also realized the problem.
He immediately exclaimed, “Junior sister, what are you doing?
Drawing a map?
That talisman paper—are you trying to contact someone?”
Qian Jiao continued to diligently draw the map without looking up and replied, “Of course, I need to contact the Fourth Prince.
As for this map, it naturally represents where we have reached.
Senior brother, you might not have seen the map we followed to get here, but this map was initially processed by my hands, and I remember clearly what it looks like.
Now, the time is about right, it’s time to inform the Fourth Prince to come here.”
She continued without even lifting her head, seemingly unafraid that the Eclipse Demon might take this opportunity to attack her.
“Contact the Fourth Prince!” The Eclipse Demon was startled and asked loudly, “Why do you want the Fourth Prince to come here?
Do you want the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince to compete for the treasures here?
