After hearing the information these people had provided,
Su Jiu had more or less reached one conclusion: the lake could move. But no one could explain what was special about it.
After all, none of those who had disappeared had ever returned.
All the signs pointed to one thing: anyone who entered the inner region either made it through the Hongsheng Heavenly Road or remained trapped there until they died. There were no exceptions.
No wonder people in later generations preferred to wander around the outer region.
Meanwhile, Ding Fen's expression had darkened beyond description. Most people had already made their positions clear. Although the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had provided no information, they were no longer speaking up for him either.
To Ding Fen, not speaking up for him was tantamount to betrayal.
After all, neutrality did not exist in his worldview.
Seeing that the situation was turning against him, Ding Fen had no desire to keep arguing. He actually intended to turn around and leave with his people.
But he had underestimated how closely the Azure Tide Sect disciples were watching him. Su Jiu, too, had noticed his intentions the instant he turned around.
Lou Sheng did not want to let him go. Had Su Jiu not been there today, their companions might already have lain dead all over the ground. How could they still have been standing there unscathed?
But while Su Jiu could help them once or twice, she could not stay by their side forever. Lou Sheng had no doubt that if they encountered Ding Fen again without Su Jiu present, the outcome would likely be even more horrific than what might have happened today.
Lou Sheng's flying sword streaked past like a meteor and stopped in front of Ding Fen.
Ding Fen's eyes darkened further.
