Can You One-Shot Me Twice on the Same Road?

The junior brothers and sisters followed behind Chu Xinghe, watching Senior Brother Xinghe drop his shoes as he walked, their minds completely blank.

When Senior Brother Xinghe revealed the wonderful method, everyone was filled with anticipation.

After all, this is Senior Brother Xinghe. Even if Senior Brother Xinghe were to perform a magic trick like transforming into a Grand Elder or a Grand Sect Master here today...

To be honest, no one would be too surprised.

But when Senior Brother Xinghe threw his shoe to determine the way, everyone was truly dumbfounded.

But after the initial shock, some people immediately concluded that Senior Brother Xinghe was just joking with everyone.

Senior Brother Xinghe Innate Formation Mastery. What is this Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation compared to him?

Therefore, Senior Brother Xinghe must have first used methods unknown to everyone to determine the correct path, and then used this humorous Little Hua to relax everyone because he was worried that they would be too nervous due to being chased by the Demonic Sect.

But as the frequency of shoe-throwing increased and the speed increased, the person who initially proposed the idea began to feel lost.

Um... did anyone see that? At that intersection just now, Senior Brother Xinghe didn't even glance at the road before throwing his shoe and walking straight ahead...

So what exactly are Senior Brother Xinghe's shoes, these super artifacts?

What happened to Senior Brother Xinghe's prediction of the correct path?

But Senior Brother Xinghe, you should at least have looked at the fork in the road ahead... Your behavior just now was a bit too outrageous, you know that?

What's even more absurd is that all the paths we've taken along the way have been correct?

This made the junior disciples doubt whether the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation was still effective.

But when everyone followed Senior Brother Xinghe through the nine-layered formation and stood at the exit, their hearts were filled with incredibly complex emotions.

What methods did Senior Brother Xinghe use to overcome all obstacles?

Who was it that suspected Senior Brother Xinghe had gone to the wrong place? Come out here!

You know this maze has a total of 1,080 branching paths, and if you take any of them wrong, you won't be able to reach the exit.

So, does that mean that Senior Brother Xinghe found the correct path at every fork in the road by throwing his shoe?

So here's the question... is it Senior Brother Xinghe's array formation ability that's too terrifying... or are Senior Brother Xinghe's shoes even more terrifying?

At this moment, Chu Xinghe couldn't care less about explaining whether it was scary or not, because standing outside the maze and looking into the distance, he could clearly see a huge ancient city in dark tones standing tall.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, that should be the true center of these ruins; that's where the treasures are located!"

"As expected of Senior Brother Xinghe, while the others are probably still studying the formation at the entrance, we've already arrived at the center."

"The Demonic Sect thinks they can catch up with Senior Brother Xinghe? That's a joke! Senior Brother Xinghe, let's set off now."

The fact that his fellow disciples were all so naive and unsophisticated made Chu Xinghe feel ashamed.

Do you even need to tell me if there are treasures in that ancient city?

Senior brother, I'm not blind. The treasure is definitely in there.

But the question is, did I come here to steal treasure?

I originally just wanted to drop off some resources and leave, but this damn ruin dragged me in here without giving me any chance to negotiate.

And that Tantai Jing, are you out of your mind or something?

Why couldn't you just focus on finding the treasure? I was planning to spend a few days in the maze with my junior brothers and sisters, and then design some little shows or tricks after we got out. A little delay would have allowed us to avoid the treasure, right?

But what the hell is the point of chasing after me instead of focusing on getting the treasure?

Do you know how painful this situation is?

There's no other way now; we can only take it one step at a time.

Led by his many junior brothers and sisters, Chu Xinghe began his journey towards the ancient city.

Chu Xinghe, who held the Flute of Space and Time in his hand, endured immense suffering throughout the journey.

Um... could something dangerous or something come up?

I've already prepared my Flute of Space and Time. Right now, if there's even the slightest danger, or even something that seems dangerous, I promise I'll crush the Flute of Space and Time and get out of there immediately.

This area is no longer within the coverage of the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation, and the Flute of Space and Time is no longer restricted, right? Please give me a reason to run away!

But damn it, there wasn't a single danger along the way... not even a single setback. Before leading everyone to the road leading to the ancient city, Chu Xinghe was completely numb.

Um... is this a legitimate ruin?

You caused such a massive explosion with the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation before; logically, even after exiting the formation, shouldn't there still be many dangers along the way to the ancient city?

But what's with this flat surface?

This looks like someone cleared the way for us in advance!

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Finally, Chu Xinghe arrived at the foot of City of Dark Moon without any obstacles. At this moment, the huge four characters "City of Dark Moon" came into view, and the city gate was not closed, but in an open state. Looking into the city through the city gate, one could clearly see beams of strange light shining out from inside City of Dark Moon.

Hiding within the city walls, Tantai Jing watched Chu Xinghe approach the gates of City of Dark Moon, his excitement almost bursting forth.

Come in quickly, Chu Xinghe... I, your ancestor, have prepared a tremendous surprise for you. This is your final resting place Chu Xinghe.

But just as Tantai Jing was watching Chu Xinghe about to step into City of Dark Moon, Chu Xinghe suddenly turned around...

Then they started to follow the City of Dark Moon toward a road that couldn't even be called a road.

What the heck is this?

Chu Xinghe... are you blind? I, Tantai Jing, have cleared away all the dangers for you, I even opened the gates of City of Dark Moon for you... why aren't you coming in now?

How could you do this to me Tantai Jing?

Don't go... come here...

Tantai Jing's inner cries were completely ineffective, because Chu Xinghe had no intention of entering City of Dark Moon at all. Instead, he was heading towards a path behind City of Dark Moon that could hardly be called a path.

Tantai Jing wanted to ask was, "Chu Xinghe, are you fucking crazy?"

With this extraordinary treasure and the City of Dark Moon right before your eyes, shouldn't you be excitedly rushing in?

Even if you're being cautious, shouldn't you at least come and explore? What the hell do you mean by turning around and leaving?

At this moment, not only Tantai Jing was dumbfounded, but also countless junior brothers and sisters of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Senior Brother Xinghe... we can't see through you at all! So many rare treasures are right in front of us, and the City of Dark Moon is right before us. What's the meaning of your not going in?

Senior, what were you thinking when you chose this path that doesn't even look like a path?

"Something's definitely not normal. Don't you think these treasures seem too easy to obtain? So if I'm not mistaken, there's something very wrong with City of Dark Moon, and we absolutely cannot go in lightly."

Chu Xinghe spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, the group of junior brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, and then they all suddenly realized what he meant.

To be honest, for a moment everyone was so captivated by the rare treasure and the City of Dark Moon that no one really thought about this.

It has to be Senior Brother Xinghe; he can still maintain a calm mind under such circumstances...

It seems we still have a lot to learn from Senior Brother Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe remained calm... but his words just now weren't meant to fool these kids.

As Chu Xinghe walked along, he felt that something was rather strange.

Once inside the ruins, the danger of the Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation is ever-present, but once you emerge from Nine Stars Concentric Grand Formation, are there no dangers at all?

And then City of Dark Moon is just sitting here with its gates wide open? Is that normal?

This is somewhat like the fat meat on a mousetrap.

Whether out of a desire to hide from treasure or out of concern for the safety of his fellow disciples, Chu Xinghe felt that City of Dark Moon was absolutely not to be entered.

Choosing this seemingly unconventional path was Chu Xinghe's way of exploring the city, wanting to see what was so strange about City of Dark Moon.

Although he had a history of accidentally choosing a path that seemed completely unsuitable for treasure in the Spirit Grotto and ultimately obtaining it, Chu Xinghe didn't believe that he could do the same thing twice.

Regardless of whether City of Dark Moon is dangerous or not, for safety's sake, I absolutely will not go any deeper into it. I'm just taking my junior brothers and sisters for a stroll around the vicinity of City of Dark Moon. I'm basically all lying down and ready to go. How am I supposed to lose this game?

Standing in the City of Dark Moon, watching Chu Xinghe gradually disappear into the distance, Tantai Jing's teeth were practically grinding to powder...

Although Tantai Jing realized that his approach of eliminating all dangers might be somewhat superfluous, City of Dark Moon was right in front of him. Logically speaking, even if there were dangers here, wouldn't Chu Xinghe be tempted by so many treasures?

If it were me, regardless of whether there was danger or not, I would definitely send someone in to investigate...

But you haven't sent anyone in to scout ahead at all? What are you trying to achieve by bringing so many men with you?

Aren't our subordinates supposed to be used as scouts and sacrificed in crucial moments?

Watching Chu Xinghe gradually disappear into the distance, Tantai Jing simply couldn't understand it.

On the other side, Chu Xinghe had already led everyone onto this road that was hard to call a road. As they Xiangqian, Chu Xinghe looked at the desolate surroundings and his mind automatically started playing "Congratulations on getting rich!"

This road is too safe!

Forget about rare treasures, there wasn't even a bird in sight.

Sure enough, the true center of this ruin is City of Dark Moon, and the path I'm currently on is, I'd call, an incredibly wasteful detour.

But that doesn't matter. Others come in to seize treasures. I, Chu Xinghe, am mainly here to take my junior brothers and sisters on a short trip to the ruins. People from all sects, please hurry up and fight your way out of the maze!

The treasures of City of Dark Moon are right in front of you. You're in charge of seizing them, and I'll take care of showing my junior brothers and sisters around. Forget about the treasures, I won't even take a single pebble out of here.

I opened the ruins for you all by myself, and now I'm not taking a single penny. This is to show your Senior Brother Xinghe's unparalleled benevolence and righteousness!

Come on, come on... This time, Senior Brother Xinghe will teach you to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing you prosperity). Let's have a big sing-along, so that your trip won't be in vain.

Just as Chu Xinghe was teaching the best students to come over... and the less capable ones to leave... a junior sister pointed ahead and yelled, "Senior Brother Xinghe... look ahead!"

Chu Xinghe followed his junior sister's gaze and looked Xiangqian, then froze...
