"What secrets does this place hold?"
Hearing this, Ren Ze could not help but freeze. His gaze swiftly turned toward Su Shi'er, his face full of confusion.
"In the Hundred Thousand Mines, if cultivators could truly act freely, the people of Bi Yun Xuan would not have sealed cultivators' cultivation to such an extent. With cultivation intact, finding spirit crystals and ores would be far easier."
Su Shi'er spoke calmly, offering Ren Ze an explanation.
Even if the Yellow-toothed Cultivator had not mentioned it that day, he had long since suspected as much.
After all, once Bi Yun Xuan and Tiandao Palace discovered his presence, with their strength, if they searched with divine sense, he would never have had a chance to escape.
The only possibility was that the Hundred Thousand Mines held other secrets. A cultivator's cultivation and divine sense would very likely trigger some unforeseen change.
As for what that change might be, he naturally did not know. But that did not prevent him from remaining cautious.
Ren Ze nodded, immediately understanding.
"Grand Elder, Su has no intention of clashing with you. I only hope..."
His eyes landing on the Grand Elder, Su Shi'er hurriedly continued.
But before he could finish, he was cut off by the other party's cold chuckle.
"Heh heh... So what if you have seen through the secret? Since you stepped forward, it seems you intend to die in your companion's place. In that case, this old man shall grant your wish!"
With that, he rose into the air. The hand seals moved again, and his surging True Yuan transformed into wave after wave of fierce attacks, striking at Su Shi'er once more.
"Alas!"
With a soft sigh, Su Shi'er could not simply sit and await death. He could only continue meeting the attacks.
