Lin Bai was only ten paces from the mountain-gate stele. Many people resting in the distance noticed him standing ten paces away, gazing up at the stele and seemingly muttering something under his breath, but they were too far away to hear him.
"What is Junior Brother Qing Luo looking at?" Qin Yuyan asked quietly. "Could he have taken an interest in that stele?"
Fang Gang chuckled. "That mountain-gate stele of the Asura Sect is indeed quite remarkable. It was forged from the rare Netherworld Soul-Suppressing Stone of the Demon Realm. The stone itself is a divine treasure with the ability to suppress souls and bind spirits. And with the three characters left upon it by the successive Sect Masters of the Asura Sect, it is even more extraordinary."
"But unfortunately... This mountain-gate stele is connected to the Asura Sect's Myriad Tribulation Asura Formation. If anyone dares disturb the stele, the Myriad Tribulation Asura Formation will activate, instantly erasing any martial artist standing before the mountain-gate stele in the blink of an eye."
"Over the years, countless people have come before this mountain-gate plaza, but not a single one has ever managed to take away the mountain-gate stele. That is all because of the existence of this Mountain Protection Formation."
Qin Yuyan said, "Since this mountain-gate stele is so dangerous, we should go remind Junior Brother Qing Luo not to entertain any thoughts of taking it."
Fang Gang laughed again. "Don't worry, Miss Qin. Junior Brother Qing Luo isn't reckless. On the contrary, he is steady and deeply calculating. If he doesn't have a treasure capable of taking away the mountain-gate stele, he absolutely won't rashly attempt it!"
Before the mountain-gate stele, Lin Bai gazed up at the three blood-red characters carved into it: Asura Sect.
