Ge Jun noticed their actions and shook his head with a light laugh, "Just the Pope's tricks."
"For years, to deepen Saintoris' fear of Luoying Valley, he has had different people chanting in Saintoris' central plaza every day."
"These incidents are all about controlling the minds of the people of Saintoris."
As Ge Jun spoke, he had already led the group away from Saintoris.
The walk from here to Luoying Valley would take no more than twenty minutes.
The deeper they went, the more they could feel the chilling cold.
It was no wonder the people of Europa avoided this place like the plague. Even Luosheng didn't have the guts to walk this night path alone!
He suddenly understood why the Pope had chosen this location.
Who in their right mind would think that the Rebirth Hall of the Divine Palace would be located in such a desolate and cold place!
Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't dare to trespass!
As everyone stepped into Luoying Valley, Ge Jun's expression instantly turned solemn. "Turn off all the lights. I don't know if the Pope has any guards posted here."
"Unless absolutely necessary, it's not advisable to stir up trouble with the Divine Palace."
What a joke!
There were two "traitors" in their group, wanted by the Divine Palace throughout Europa.
If they attracted the attention of the Divine Palace, they would definitely be in for a rough time today.
With the lights turned off, it became even darker!
It was completely pitch black.
Luosheng was so terrified he was about to cling to Chen Fan.
His hair stood on end!
What kind of hellhole was this place!
Unable to see the path, everyone simply closed their eyes, shoulder to shoulder, following Ge Jun as he meandered deeper into the valley.
The most terrifying thing wasn't walking on a path with an eerie atmosphere at night.
It was that they had no idea when this night path would end.
Time passed agonizingly slowly.
It felt like torture for everyone.
Just as everyone's patience was about to run out, a faint light flickered ahead.
"We're here."
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, Ge Jun continued, "Five steps ahead is the Divine Palace's killing array. Once you enter, the mechanism will automatically trigger."
"How do we get past it?"
Luosheng voiced everyone's confusion.
Ge Jun looked at Chen Fan beside him, "It's up to you."
Chen Fan, the utility player, frowned, "What do you mean?"
Luosheng gasped, "You don't mean you want Brother Fan to go up and tank the hits, do you?"
Chen Fan shook his head, about to defend Ge Jun, thinking he wasn't that kind of person. To his surprise, Ge Jun nodded slowly, "The eye of the formation is to the southwest. If you shatter it, the killing array will be broken."
If it's so simple, why don't you go?
Before Chen Fan could voice his inner complaint, Ge Jun preempted him with an explanation, "To avoid unnecessary casualties, I believe it's best for you to go. After all, you are the strongest among us. If you can't get through, then we won't be able to enter the Rebirth Hall today."
Alright.
With such high praise, Chen Fan had no choice but to accept.
He took a deep breath.
Then, he stepped into the killing array.
In a moment, the scene before him changed drastically!
Now, before Chen Fan, he stood on a battlefield where shouts and clashing swords filled the air!
The whistling wind and the powerful attacks that grazed his ears made him feel as if he were in the midst of a war!
This killing array actually incorporated illusions!
This kind of formation, laced with illusions, possessed infinite power, resulting in either death or serious injury!
Chen Fan dared not be careless and engaged the vast army before him with all his might!
His moves were sharp and ruthless, leaving no room for hesitation!
Time was of the essence, allowing no room for delay!
Chen Fan was trapped in the killing array, battling an army on a vast plain. However, to Ge Jun and the others, it looked like he was wildly flailing his fists at empty space.
Luosheng had never seen such a spectacle.
He leaned closer to Ge Jun and asked, "Brother Fan, did you drive him mad?"
Ge Jun glanced at him indifferently, "He's breaking the formation."
"Breaking the formation?!"
Luosheng looked at the scene with suspicion. Was this considered breaking the formation?
If so, he felt he could also try his luck!
Just as he spoke, Chen Fan in the center of the formation suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Luosheng shivered. This...
Did the air itself beat Brother Fan to this state?
Ge Jun's expression turned serious.
"This is the marvel of the killing array. Although it's an illusion, the damage inflicted on the person attempting to break it is entirely real."
"It can take the life of a divine-level expert without a single soldier being lost."
"I wonder if Chen Fan..."
Just as Ge Jun's concern arose, Chen Fan, who was standing in the middle of the formation, suddenly changed his expression!
Chen Fan, facing the thousands of soldiers charging at him, had run out of patience. He gritted his teeth fiercely, released his hands, and smashed a fist into the ground—
Boom!
The battlefield trembled violently under his punch!
The entire illusion cracked and shattered under this blow.
Chen Fan looked up at everything before him, a hint of relief in his eyes. Just as he was about to search for the formation's eye—
Splash!
A massive wave surged towards him from the sky!
The spray of water almost engulfed him!
Chen Fan quickly steadied himself and leaped onto the wave, controlling his balance to avoid falling into the deep sea by accident.
