Chen Hao remained composed and casually waved a hand.
In the clearing a short distance behind them, space twisted and rippled. An ancient pavilion, exquisite and imposing, with sweeping eaves and upturned corners, slowly emerged from the void.
A faint spiritual glow surrounded the pavilion, its carved beams and painted rafters wreathed in immortal mist. It was the very Primordial Immortal Pavilion that had appeared in the Jade Pool secret realm.
Chen Siyao recognized it and rolled her eyes. "Bro, you're not even pretending anymore. And you said it was the Queen Mother of the West's pavilion." Chen Hao cleared his throat lightly and said nothing.
"Split into teams of three. Each team will guard the pit for two hours before switching, until every Soul-Devouring Abyss Demon that escapes has been killed." Without waiting for their reactions, he turned and walked toward the pavilion.
Only after Chen Hao disappeared through the pavilion doors did the others come to their senses. They exchanged glances and immediately began discussing the teams.
The roars in the deep pit grew more frequent as more and more Soul-Devouring Abyss Demons climbed up from the bottom.
Chen Siyao had no time to think it over. She pulled Yang Wanqing over and told Ying Wenjie, "The three of us will be one team. We'll go first. Wu Tian, you three take the second shift. Watch from the side for now and familiarize yourselves with how the monsters attack."
She had seen the fear in Yang Wanqing's and Ying Wenjie's eyes when they faced the abyss demons earlier. They also had the least combat experience, so staying beside her would be safest.
The remaining three—Wu Tian, Ye Chendong, and Qin Xiaoyu—had solid cultivation and plenty of courage, making them a good fit for the other team.
"No problem!"
