Chapter 152: Returning to the Ruins_2
"Good!"
Lie Lei immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing Lie Lei act according to his wishes, Duan Gujin's heart suddenly leaped, and a strange thought appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that Netherworld Sect and Green Cloud Sect are, between the hidden forces, destined to be in a situation where either you die or I perish?"
Shortly after, Lie Lei told Duan Gujin that he had already sent a message to Sect Master Zhu Ge Hongyun.
"They should arrive here soon!"
Lie Lei said.
"Understood!"
Duan Gujin nodded slightly, and they continued to move forward for over a hundred meters, yet to enter the interior of the ruins.
Suddenly, they heard a loud bang from the sky.
Following the direction from which the sound came, they realized that it was a flare.
"Oh no! Have we been discovered?"
The flare's flame was extremely bright, almost illuminating the entire sky above the ruins.
Duan Gujin and Lie Lei looked around and realized their tragic situation.
"Bad! Our position is too exposed now!"
Previously, black thick fog could obstruct their view a bit, but now the flare was too bright above, completely exposing them.
Just as they were feeling bewildered and unsure of what to do, Lie Lei transmitted a message to Duan Gujin, sensing a strong force to the left, and judged that the strength of the approaching party was definitely at the Martial Sect level.
"What should we do now?"
Duan Gujin originally wanted Lie Lei to help him flee the area quickly, but upon reconsideration, he thought they had finally reached the outside of the ruins and he couldn't just do nothing, merely watch the enemy's back and flee.
Besides, at his side was Lie Lei, the second-in-command of Green Cloud Sect.
If he appeared too cowardly, what would Lie Lei think of him?
Although Duan Gujin did not care for false reputation, he was not sure if Lie Lei, unlike him, dismissed reputation too.
If Lie Lei considered him to be all bark and no bite, then it would be nearly impossible for him to gain the trust of Green Cloud Sect's higher-ups in the future.
Thus, upon another thought, Duan Gujin decided to break into the ruins together with Lie Lei.
"We charge in!"
Duan Gujin transmitted his thought to Lie Lei.
"Good!"
Lie Lei, without much thought, agreed to his suggestion.
Their figures flickered and turned into a blurry shadow, rapidly disappearing from the ground.
Moments later, they passed through the ruins' energy crystal barrier and entered inside.
After entering, Lie Lei felt the Primordial Power within him being greatly suppressed, and he could only exhibit the strength of the Martial Monarch Realm now.
"Oh my god! I am under a terrifying suppression!"
Lie Lei felt scared, it was the first time in his history to experience such a horrific suppression.
After all, his strength inside was now two Great Realms lower than outside, and naturally, his heart couldn't accept it.
"What if this is Duan Gujin's conspiracy? What should I do?"
Next moment, Lie Lei immediately became cautious of Duan Gujin, fearing a sneak attack.
"How are you now?"
Duan Gujin immediately asked.
"My Primordial Power has decreased severely!" Lie Lei responded.
"It seems the energy here hasn't dispersed yet! Follow me, keep close, and don't lose track!"
Duan Gujin released the Evil Eye to observe the nearby movements.
After a while, through the Evil Eye, he had realized the condition of the ruins, understanding that there was another layer of ruins beneath.
"How strange, why doesn't this Evil Eye in my hand have any impression of the ruins below?"
Duan Gujin frowned, considering a possibility.
"Could it be that the ruins beneath are controlled by another Evil Eye?"
This guess flashed through Duan Gujin's mind.
15 minutes later, he finally had an answer.
"As I thought! Indeed, there is another world beneath these ruins!"
Duan Gujin had previously thought that the Netherworld Treasure was definitely still in the Qiankun Continent, but after a long time, he ended up with nothing.
"We will immediately dive in!"
Duan Gujin secretly transmitted his thoughts to Lie Lei.
"Good!"
Lie Lei tightly clenched a turtle shell in his left hand, ready to crush it and utilize the Transmission Energy released from it to instantly teleport a hundred li away if Duan Gujin harbored any ill intentions.
The turtle shell in his hand was not ordinary; in fact, it was a precious escape Treasure.
Contained within the turtle shell was a great amount of Transmission Energy, and by crushing it, the Transmission Energy contained within would teleport his body a hundred li away in less than the time of ten breaths.
Such an escape Treasure was naturally expensive and very rare.
Using it once meant that after today, such an escape Treasure could never be found in this world again.
"There's danger!"
Duan Gujin quickly sensed a strong Qi suddenly appearing ahead, somewhat similar to the Evil Eye.
Between the two of them, although Lie Lei was far stronger than Duan Gujin, the area they were in was engulfed by the Array of Netherworld Dark Clan.
Therefore, Duan Gujin, possessing the Evil Eye, was the first to sense the presence of another Evil Eye.
"My kidneys! I didn't expect another Evil Eye to be nearby!"
Duan Gujin's heart began to beat violently, urging Lie Lei to immediately get ready for battle.
Lie Lei quickly sensed a strong demonic power ahead too, and he judged that another Evil Eye must have appeared.
