Sky Three’s words caused everyone to nod, feeling consoled.

Suffering felt bad only when it was uneven. If they had chosen wrong, then they would naturally feel bad. However, if everyone suffered together, then it was fine.

“Thankfully, our skills are good enough for us to fight our way out. I told you, anywhere I go is the path of life!” Tian Luo said, pleased with himself. After that, he frowned, “But where’s that Left Messenger who was leading the way. Did she find somewhere to hide?”

He wondered what was up with that person. She had clearly moved first, but she seemed perfectly fine.

Did she hide?

Tian Luo had a cold look in his eyes as he made a decision. He would capture her again after the matter was settled!

At that moment, the Heavenly Palace’s group walked out of the ‘safe passage’ cage. Both sides were shocked to see each other.

Cultivator Junjun ran his hand along his mustache as he said in surprise, “Oh, you’re still alive.”

“Y-you guys…”

Sky One and the others were all stunned. They pointed at the Heavenly Palace’s group in shock.

Suddenly, Tian Luo’s eyes narrowed as he shouted in disbelief, “You broke through?!”

He could feel the fluctuations from Cultivator Junjun and Yang Jing. His eyes had a complicated look in them. He was clearly unable to accept it.

Being a half-step Wisdom Dictator might sound like it was only half a step away from being a true Wisdom Dictator, but it was a world’s worth of difference.

Being able to break through was not something that happened in a day. It was obvious that they had a chance encounter in the cave which was why all of them were fine.

Tian Luo could not help but jolt. Could the path they chose have been the right one?!

Yang Jing let out a slight smile. “I’m sorry. There was something left behind in the cave. We had to take some time to be enlightened, which is why we’re late.”

He had caught up to Xiao Chengfeng and become a Wisdom Dictator. He was naturally incredibly happy.

Enlightened?

Sky One and the others had red eyes.

A power that was enough to break through to the Wisdom Dictator realm had just so barely escaped their grasps?

They were angry!

They regretted it!

Sky One said stubbornly, “So, you didn’t encounter any dangers?”

“We didn’t.”

Xiao Chengfeng shook his head before he said thankfully, “That’s right. It’s all thanks to all of you. Both your groups chose the dangerous routes and left the only safe one to us. It allowed us to be completely safe and even gave us such an encounter. You’re all such good people!”

All of them were speechless as they wept in their hearts.

Why had they not chosen the correct path?!

“It’s all you’re fault, you rotten fortune teller. You led us into danger!”

Suddenly a voice attracted everyone’s attention. Looking over, Big Lord Demon was angrily blaming Wolong. His tone was strict, and his eyes looked extremely threatening.

Wolong looked at him in shock.

Big Lord Demon had just called him big brother, and now he was calling him a rotten fortune teller?

“Right, that’s right, he was the one who led us to the wrong path!”

“Wolong’s obviously a huge failure. He caused us to lose out on the chance encounter and even killed so many of our brothers. He’s an animal!”

“I can’t believe it. He must be a spy, get him!”

“Let’s all get our revenge!”

…

Immediately, Wolong was sent right up. He was in an incredible panic and could not explain himself at all. After that, he suffered everyone’s attacks and perished.

Meanwhile, Big Lord Demon, the instigator, quietly retreated from the scene, hiding.

He was incredibly smart. The moment he realized something was wrong, he guessed that everyone would need to vent out the anger in their hearts. That was why he immediately pushed Wolong forward, attracting everyone’s attention.

That way, they would all forget that he had led the way.

‘Big brother, don’t blame me. I’m just trying to make a living and survive.’

Even the Heaven Plundering Alliance’s group had some movements. However, when they looked at Tian Luo, they could not help but avert their gaze, realizing that Tian Luo was looking at them.

Tian Luo let out a cold laugh. “What are you preparing to do?”

“We really have to thank Tian Luo this time. If you hadn’t led us, we’d have been unable to fight our way out.”

“That’s right, our lives were all saved by Tian Luo. You’re our savior!”

“I knew following him was the right choice!”

They had both led the groups in.

Wolong had been eradicated while Tian Luo was being respected.

Those were incredible double standards.

Sky One sighed as he said sourly, “Alright, we haven’t congratulated the Heavenly Palace for obtaining such a big chance encounter. It really invites so much envy!”

Cultivator Junjun laughed and said, “That’s high praise. This chance was given to us by all of you. Thank you, thank you.”

Everyone was silent.

He was just rubbing salt into their wounds!

Sky Two said, “Let’s all continue on. I can feel the gray mist’s summon getting closer and closer. It should be close by now.”

Immediately, no more words were said as they started to move forward.

As for Big Lord Demon. He started to lag behind the group slowly. The more he walked, the further back he got, all the way until he left the team.

He was not interested in any rewards at all. He would never get them anyway. His life was more important.

However, just as he found a place to hide, he found that someone else was already hiding there. It was Left Messenger.

They had met again. Their sense of familiarity deepened. They could not believe that they had even chosen the same hiding spot. They were not alone.

Big Lord Demon asked, “Are you also a guide?”

Left Messenger says, “Anyone who follows me will all die.”

Big Lord Demon’s eyes brightened. “I’m the same!”

“I wonder what sort of experiences you have. We can share it with each other.”

“That’s precisely what I wanted!”

Immediately, the two of them started to talk about their experiences. They felt like they greatly benefitted from the conversation.

…

At the same time, the Heavenly Palace’s group had arrived at the final destination.

When they laid their eyes on what was in front of them, their eyes narrowed as they stopped.

In front of them was an incredibly vast world. There was a huge tree in the middle of it and under that tree, sat a cultivator.

In the void, everything was surrounded by gray mist. Only that cultivator was emitting light. It was the only place not contaminated by gray mist.

However, that cultivator was in a very bad state. His eyes were shut and his eyebrows were furrowed. The light on his body shot up to the skies to form a pillar. However, it was easy to see that gray mist had started to seep into the pillar of light. The unending gray mist was like a large beast flaring its teeth, about to swallow the pillar of light!
