The ancient patterns on the door lit up one after another.
The golden light rapidly went from faint to blazing.
Jiang Fan and the others' spirits lifted.
"The seal is about to open!"
Zeng Yang looked at the opening slowly splitting apart in the middle of the giant gate, and worry suddenly appeared on his face.
"Senior Brother Duan, if we bring the particles of the Time Rules back, can we really get through this safely?"
"Those elders of Heaven Sect..."
"Will they really not make a move against us?"
Jiang Fan's expression was calm.
"We've come this far. Overthinking it is pointless!"
"According to our deductions, they should honor the agreement!"
"But if they truly decide to throw all face aside, that's beyond our control!"
"So all we can do is handle ourselves properly. Once we get out, we keep our story consistent: we merely got lucky and discovered and brought back a strange object while in extreme danger. We know very little about the rules and immense power inside the seal, and we didn't have the ability to investigate any deeper!"
He paused, then added, "In particular, when describing how the three of us discovered this particle together and obtained it with great difficulty, make it vivid. Emphasize the danger involved, and the limits of our abilities!"
Jiang Fan's instructions were not unnecessary.
Although he did not know how Zeng Yang and Jiang Zhuoxi had survived, the process definitely could not have been as simple as they described.
Or rather, these two definitely were not as weak as they appeared to be.
Since everyone had secrets, then... their goal could be considered the same.
Whatever else happened, at least when it came to what they told the sect, they had to be unified.
Hearing this, Zeng Yang nodded.
