When the barrier blocking their path began to tremble and sway, becoming illusory.
This means that all the cultivators qualified to reach the center of Severed Soul City have arrived.
Those who didn't come either returned the way they came or died on the way.
certainly.
Most people would have died along the way if they hadn't come this far.
What lies hidden in the heart of the Severed Soul City, no one knows.
However, such a powerful tradition exists within the central region.
Then how could the things in the center of Severed Soul City be inferior?
Few practitioners can resist its allure.
Given Chu Lan's personality, he would naturally be one of them.
But he was not among the crowd.
That means he's likely in grave danger...
Currently, Heavenly Sword Peak, Zhuang Zidong, and Chu Lan have all been killed.
Chi Bing remained silent, his face grave.
Ye Qiubai patted Chi Bing on the shoulder and comforted him, "Now is not the time to think about these things. Focus on completing the rest of the journey in Severed Soul City, obtaining the inheritance, and improving your strength so that the younger generation of Heavenly Sword Peak won't be too weak."
"Then it will be up to you to uphold the sect's honor."
Chi Bing looked up at Ye Qiubai and asked, "Didn't the sect leader entrust the sect to you?"
Ye Qiubai was the Sword Child personally selected by the sect leader Huo Zhengheng.
After Huo Zhengheng stepped down, Ye Qiubai became the undisputed new sect leader of Heavenly Sword Peak.
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "I made an agreement with Senior Huo long ago that I will not take over the sect."
Chi Bing nodded.
"Senior Brother, let's stop talking for now."
Mu Fusheng suddenly appeared beside him, pointed ahead, and said with a serious expression, "Look over there."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai looked in the direction Mu Fusheng pointed.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
His eyes were filled with astonishment!
It wasn't just Ye Qiubai and his group.
Lin Zhinan, Su Muyou, Gu Xi, Yuezheng Chi, and others.
They all wore solemn expressions.
Only Pan Xie, residing in the Avici Purgatory, and Qiu Genyin, residing in the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall, watched this scene with indifferent expressions.
It seems they knew this was going to happen all along.
After the barrier disappears.
What came into view was a massive door!
The entrance was wide open, and above the door was a sculpture of a demon.
If you look closely, this evil spirit seems to be howling at you, sucking away your life essence.
Click, click, click...
Suddenly, the demon sculpture's gaping maw slowly opened.
It emitted a harsh sound, as if it had been forced open due to rust caused by long periods of inactivity.
A voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, resounded in everyone's ears.
Like a demon summoning a soul!
"Of the ten who go to the Ghost Gate Pass, nine never return."
"Entering the Ghost Gate Pass, every step a death trap. Retreating now might save your life."
"If you wish to enter the true heart of Severed Soul City, then cross this gate..."
Upon hearing this terrifying sound, everyone frowned slightly.
However, not a single person wanted to leave!
Those who are able to come here are all the chosen ones from various sects and forces.
There are also top figures among the Rogue Cultivator.
Which of these people isn't arrogant and proud?
Besides, having come this far, just one step away from the final outcome, how could we possibly be frightened by a single sentence or a demon statue?
The first to act was the Avici Purgatory, led by Pan Xie.
Before the four of them stepped inside, their murderous gazes swept over Ye Qiubai and his companions.
It's as if it's saying, "You'll regret your previous decision."
Ye Qiubai and the other two ignored this.
It has to be said.
They were used to that kind of look.
I've never regretted it even once.
Next up is the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall.
After the two groups entered, the rest of the people began to squeeze in as well.
This included a group of Rogue Cultivator, including Yuezheng Chi.
Lin Zhinan chuckled from the side, " Brother Ye, Su Muyou, how about we form an alliance for the rest of the journey?"
Su Muyou nodded slightly.
After this Ghost Gate Pass, who knows what dangers lie ahead? Forming an alliance now is a good option.
Ye Qiubai and the other two didn't mind and agreed.
All three parties, along with their respective sects, also passed through the Ghost Gate Pass.
However, at the moment of stepping into the Ghost Gate Pass...
A beam of black light landed on the back of everyone's hand!
As they passed through it.
Look down at the back of your hand.
I discovered the outline of a skull on the back of my hand!
The outline, which should have contained a word or image, is now completely empty.
This will likely be related to the trials that follow.
After Ghost Gate Pass.
It was a long, dark passage.
I don't know how long we walked.
Only then did the light shine upon everyone.
It is starlight shining down from the dazzling Milky Way in the sky.
However, what they saw before them surprised everyone slightly once again.
Ahead, there were three roads.
At the beginning of each road, there is a stone tablet.
The stone tablets are all engraved with ancient characters.
To the left lies Purgatory City.
To the right, Nebula City.
In the middle lies the Demon King City.
Does every road lead to a city?
Gu Xi frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "What does this mean?"
"The meaning is very clear." Lin Zhinan pointed upwards.
Above the three paths, there was a starry sky light curtain.
Text was engraved on the light screen.
Each person needs to choose their own city, and there is no limit to the number of people in a city.
When people choose to reside in a city, the people there will form an alliance.
After everyone has made their choices, the three cities must attack each other. The last city standing will receive the ultimate reward from the Severed Soul City.
City Siege?
Lin Zhinan chuckled softly, "This is interesting."
Su Muyou and Gu Xi both looked at Lin Zhinan.
If the attack is launched against other cities from the city's center, then this is Lin Zhinan's home turf.
After all, he was a figure often referred to as a strategist.
"So, Brother Ye, shall we continue the alliance?" Lin Zhinan asked Ye Qiubai with a smile.
Ye Qiubai asked, "Which path are you not choosing?"
Lin Zhinan shrugged. "No clues, no leads. Either option is fine, but as for Purgatory City, we should have already passed through Avici Purgatory and the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall."
After he finished speaking...
Yuezheng Chi suddenly walked towards the road leading to Nebula City.
Behind him followed a group of Rogue Cultivator.
These Rogue Cultivator are also renowned and powerful figures in the Mid-Latitude Realm!
"It seems these Rogue Cultivator are preparing to form an alliance."
At this time...
Xiao Hei suddenly stepped forward, pointed to the middle of the road leading to the Demon King City, and said, "I want to go here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai didn't think much of it and nodded with a smile, saying, "Then let's choose this path."
Mu Fusheng replied nonchalantly, "Whatever you want."
Xiao Hei rarely steps forward to make decisions.
Once a decision is made, it means that the person has their own ideas.
After a decision is made.
The alliance was also confirmed.
Ye Qiubai and the others headed towards the Demon King City.
