Chapter 14983 Smiling
When Jianwang 3 saw the two newcomers, he didn't feel any aversion at all.
On the contrary, a cunning smile even flashed in his eyes, as if hiding an inexplicable calculation.
Seeing the four of them arguing, he immediately stepped in to mediate: "Alright, alright, there's no need to quarrel anymore. It's fate that you've all come here. To put it bluntly, you've all gathered here today for the Sword Emperor Sect's inheritance. I'm too lazy to concern myself with your personal grudges and feuds. The inheritance is right here in this hall. I only have one question for you..."
His words instantly drew the attention of the four people.
Long Muyu was too lazy to pay attention to Hu Xie and Bai Yuxue.
All four of them looked at Jian San at the same time.
Jian San then said, "Who's planning to go in first? The door's already open."
Long Muyu was about to speak when Ling Xiao stopped her: "Brother Hu Xie and Miss Bai Yuxue have come from afar and are considered guests, so let's make way and let them go first."
He smiled, his face full of hospitality, seemingly without a trace of ulterior motive.
Since there are guinea pigs going to take the lead, let them go. As I said before, opportunities are not something you can get just by being early; it depends on fate.
Even if Hu Xie and Bai Yuxue go in first, they may not get what they want.
"You guys know what's good for you!" Hu Xie sneered and rushed in.
Bai Yuxue nodded to Ling Xiao and Long Muyu, and went inside as a sign of politeness.
After the two went inside, Ling Xiao glanced at Jian San indifferently: "Senior, it's wrong to sow discord, you know. You're instigating us to fight amongst ourselves, are you just going to watch us fight here?"
"How could that be!" Jian San still had a smile on his face. "Am I that bad? Young man, don't talk nonsense."
"That's good, then let's go in too!" Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze and led Long Muyu into the dark hall.
Once the four figures had all disappeared into the darkness, the once-open hall doors suddenly slammed shut, as if they had never been opened at all.
The Jianwang 3 map still hovers outside the main hall.
His deep blue eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door, and a strange smile slowly crept onto his lips, growing wider and more menacing.
Ultimately, it turned into a sinister grin of triumph.
"Hahahaha! Greed! It's all just greed. I've waited all these years, and finally someone has willingly stepped into this trap."
He slowly raised his hand, drawing a strange and complex holy rune in the air. The rune glowed with an eerie, ghostly green light, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps. With his gesture, it disappeared into the tightly closed doors of the hall.
As he withdrew his hand, the sinister smile on Jian San's face gradually froze, replaced by madness and greed.
"Hehehe, silly kids, once you go in, you'll never get out. You will become the best shell for the Sword Emperor Sect to return to the Chaotic Martial World."
Amidst the laughter, Jian San quietly disappeared into the darkness. Only after the big shots inside had finished eating would he be qualified to enjoy himself.
But there's no rush. Since this secret realm has already opened, more geniuses will enter, and they can obtain even more skins.
……
The only thing Ling Xiao felt when he entered was darkness.
It's so damn dark!
You can't see anything beyond a meter.
The most outrageous thing is that even the ability of divine sense to probe is greatly limited, with a maximum range of no more than ten meters.
What made Ling Xiao even more uneasy was that Long Muyu had disappeared.
The two entered at the same time, but in an instant, Long Muyu seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing from Ling Xiao's side.
"There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
Ling Xiao frowned.
When he first came in, he noticed that Jian San's mood was off, and now it's almost certain that Jian San wasn't as good as he thought.
These remnants of the Sword Emperor Sect seem to be plotting some kind of conspiracy.
"Long Muyu, can you hear me?"
Ling Xiao shouted into the darkness, but absurdly, not only was his divine sense blocked, but his voice also seemed to hit something and bounce back, making a rumbling sound in his ears, but it just couldn't travel out.
"Looks like we need to be careful and get out of here quickly!"
The darkness made Ling Xiao uneasy. Now was not the time to search for Long Muyu; he needed to find a safe place quickly, as no one knew what might suddenly emerge from the darkness.
He no longer cares about the Sword Emperor Sect's legacy; all he wants is to leave here safely.
The Sword Emperor Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the chaotic martial world. Although it did not grow into a powerful force like the Demonic Sect later on, it is still not to be underestimated.
This one move alone is enough to give countless martial artists a headache.
Of course, it wasn't a big problem for him either, as he suddenly released the Divine Martial Soul.
The darkness around him suddenly receded, giving him a space of nearly a hundred meters.
"Indeed, this darkness is formed by the condensation of countless souls. It's terrifying. Just how many people died in the Sword Emperor Sect back then? This feeling is almost comparable to the underworld."
As his field of vision expanded, Ling Xiao was able to see much more, but he still couldn't find Long Muyu.
He randomly chose a direction and started walking forward.
Everyone has their own opportunities. Although he was a little worried about Long Muyu, it was impossible for him to run over to look for her right now. This place was too strange, and he himself was not quite sure what was going on. It was better to be cautious.
In the darkness, only the sound of one's own footsteps could be heard; that feeling was truly chilling and extremely eerie.
An ordinary person would likely be scared to death in this environment. Fortunately, Ling Xiao is a martial artist, and a very powerful one at that.
He didn't know how long he had walked, but just as Ling Xiao was getting a little annoyed, he suddenly saw a bright light not far ahead.
The light seemed to guide him when he was lost.
Even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame, he still wants to go and see.
There was nothing he could do; he was already finding the darkness unbearable.
He might as well take the risk. What if that place of light is his opportunity? Even if it's dangerous, it doesn't matter. For him, obvious danger is much easier to deal with than the unknown.
He quickened his pace and walked over, only to find that the source of light was actually a secret room with lights on inside.
The secret room has a door, but it is not closed at the moment.
He stepped inside. There was no danger inside; it looked ordinary. The only thing worth noting was the many ancient paintings hanging on the walls. Although they were covered in dust after so many years, they were not damaged.
"Long Muyu has probably encountered the same situation. I wonder if there is any danger here?"
Ling Xiao stood there muttering to himself. Then, he shook his head to clear his mind and continued to observe the situation in the secret chamber.
He wanted to see if there was an exit from the darkness outside.
