Chapter 1234: The Danger Behind the Gate



Chapter 1234: The Danger Behind the Gate

A few moments later, Tiffany and the other members of the Tenke Kingdom went closer to Roan’s group while smiling. “You guys are quite good. You were able to hold Granto’s strike with such low cultivation. How about you start following us for now?” In the end, Tiffany’s group decided to use the event between Granto and Rean’s team to strike up a conversation. Not only that, but it also served as a way for the Tenke Kingdom to make fun of Granto’s inability in getting rid of some Initial Stage Saint Realm cultivators.

The other Righteous Path cultivator groups there immediately started to laugh after hearing that. Well, at least the ones who didn’t fear the Blood Path Sect’s group. Granto just narrowed his eyes but didn’t say anything. He just recorded that even in his mind for later.

Rean saw the chance there and continued the conversation, “You must be joking. There’s no way he was being serious when he attacked us. It’s just that we don’t know why we were attacked in the first place.”

Tiffany laughed in response. “Hahaha! Isn’t that obvious? He’s part of the Evil Path, so he enjoys bullying the weak. He doesn’t have the courage to do that against people of his level. Don’t worry, I won’t let him touch your group, so just stay close to us.”

Well, Tiffany could have stopped after the first sentence. However, it’s no secret that Righteous and Evil Path cultivators had never been on good terms, so she took the chance to twist the knife deeper into Granto’s wound.

Rean and Liana immediately bowed to Tiffany, pretending to be grateful. “Thank you, lady. Would you mind telling us your name?”

“You can call me Tiffany. What about you guys?” Tiffany also kept up the act.

“I’m Salazar, and this is my girlfriend, July.” Rean then brought Liana close, which made the girl somewhat flustered. However, she couldn’t go back now that they were deep into the conversation.

Roan smiled at Tiffany as well since he also had to keep up the act. Otherwise, there was no way he would have done so. “I’m from the same sect as them. My name’s Victe.”

Tiffany nodded with a satisfied expression. “Great! Just stay close from now on.”

And just like that, Tiffany’s group also positioned themselves close to the exit, which attracted some attention. However, because she said she would protect Rean’s group, those who found it suspicious couldn’t really say if it was on purpose or not. After all, since she told Rean’s group to stay close to them, they could have returned to their previous position, but they didn’t. Nevertheless, that was enough to not cause a move to arise from the other groups.

Tiffany then took the chance to ask Roan, ‘Liana told me about you. The Dark Element Affinity guy from the Sacred Land. Don’t worry, she made me promise I wouldn’t tell anyone else until we’re out of the Demising Catacombs. However, why would you tell her to stay far away from the gate? If the gate really opens, we should be in the front in case there are some valuable treasures.’

Roan shook his head, replying, ‘Trust me, you won’t want to stay close to it. This is just my theory, though.’

‘What theory?’ Tiffany asked in response.

Roan then explained, ‘It seems like no one found this gate in the past, right? At the very least, most of you don’t know or didn’t tell others about it. However, let’s go with the idea that this is something new or that hasn’t happened in a very long time.’

Tiffany and the others nodded in response, waiting for Roan to continue his explanation. ‘Now then, we have a gate here, and everyone can tell that it is made of Life’s Nemesis Rocks, right? However, from what I know, no one wants to work with Life’s Nemesis Rocks since their Dark Element will affect your body. But lo and behold, there’s an entire gate made out of it. Don’t you think it’s strange? Pay very close attention to it. Not only is the gate made of Life’s Nemesis Rocks, but the gate’s surrounding walls are also the same.’

Everyone had to admit that Roan’s words made sense. ‘That’s true. However, the fact is that someone did make the walls and the gate out of Life’s Nemesis rocks. You can see it right in front of, so it’s possible.’

Roan shook his head, clarifying, ‘No, you’re all missing the point here. Let me ask you a very simple question. What if the walls and the gate were not made of Life’s Nemesis Rocks at first?’

*Bang!*

Everyone felt like they were struck by lightning. Some of Tiffany’s group members even took a few steps closer to the exit, looking at the gate with a frightened expression. Sure enough, most of them understood what Roan meant. 

Nevertheless, Roan continued to explain for the rest. ‘You need to think how the Life’s Nemesis Rocks are made. When materials are kept under the influence of Dark Element and Yin Energy for a long time, they have a chance to turn into Life’s Nemesis Rocks. It often happens in places where the concentration of both forces are the highest.’

‘I’m pretty sure that the gate and the walls on its sides weren’t made out of Life’s Nemesis rocks before. With that said, can you imagine just how thick and concentrated the Dark Element and Yin Energy behind that gate is? Once that gate is open, it’ll burst out like a balloon. All of that energy will rush out in a single go. Do you think you can resist the power of Dark Element and Yin Energy capable of transforming an entire gate and the walls on its side? Let me be honest here. Chances are that we will all be dead in a matter of seconds!’

Those who hadn’t understood at first began to let out a lot of cold sweat. Roan’s words made total sense. No, they had to admit that he was most likely right. Who the hell would make walls and a huge gate out of Life’s Nemesis Rocks? It’s just too improbable!

*Ziu…*

Suddenly, another dark sphere above the gate lost its power. There were only four spheres left.
