Sun Long tugged at Tang Yan but failed to move him. Turning his head, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Junior Brother?"
"Don't rush."
Tang Yan looked at the man in the coffin and said clearly, "Senior, you've shown us great kindness, but we still don't know your name."
"Others call me the Demonic Spirit Heavenly Venerable!" The man made no attempt to conceal his name.
Tang Yan was startled.
According to historical records, this was a great elder of the Demonic Path. He was actually still alive?
If he escaped, whether the Pill Alliance could stop him remained unknown.
Steadying himself, Tang Yan continued, "Senior, you don't exactly look like a good person. Why would you be kind enough to let the four of us leave?"
The Demonic Spirit Heavenly Venerable's breath caught again.
You brat really are in league with that big-faced fellow. Even your words are just as unpleasant.
"You're certainly cautious. Then I'll tell you plainly.
This place is a Killing Formation.
Everyone who dug up the soil or seized treasures has been marked by the formation. Once it activates, they will all be killed instantly.
But I never expected the four of you to be variables that would interfere with its activation.
Leave, and you can live.
I'll also get what I want.
We both win!" The Demonic Spirit Heavenly Venerable revealed the truth.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. They had never expected the four from Clear Sky Peak to become the key to their survival.
"Junior Brother Sun, you mustn't leave! Otherwise, even if you get out, the sect will discover that you were accomplices of the Demon Sect. You still won't escape death!"
"The Demon Sect is cunning. His words aren't necessarily true. Leaving could very well mean death too. Staying here is safer!
