Twisting the Knife in an Open Wound

I got up and walked through the surging crowd.

Lu Changzhi arrived at the place where Zhou Xun had been buried the day before.

They dug it out in no time.

I glanced at it briefly.

The progress completed in one night was not deducted from the corresponding time.

Lu Changzhi was not surprised by this.

The system had previously warned him that being in a coma would hinder progress.

One way the Heart-Binding Devil Seed works is by requiring the person being controlled to have a certain amount of time for independent thought.

Some things just need to be pondered; the more you ponder them, the more illogical they may seem, the more reasonable they may appear.

As for this place...

Lu Changzhi turned around and glanced at the palace behind him.

It's only this early morning, but it's already even more bustling than it was yesterday afternoon.

I don't plan to stay here any longer. However, even without my support, the Saint King Method will remain here for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi had an idea and dispersed the Saint King Method.

In this way, those gathered here will have more time to do their business, and the Nine-Story Tower will be triggered to enter the world sooner.

After finishing all that, Lu Changzhi picked up the sack and left.

This immediately caused a huge stir among the crowd.

Brush.

As the Saint King Method dissipated, the void in this world trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the internal scene, which was previously impossible to explore and observe with the naked eye, was revealed to everyone.

"It's open! It's open!"

Someone spoke excitedly, their eyes wide, and they quickly looked inside.

"So sudden! No foreplay at all, just started right away. This place is truly unique!"

"Let me see what treasures are hidden here."

Nearby, Dai Tianfeng and Wujie stood up almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the palace towering amidst the jungle.

"Kendo."

When his gaze fell upon the longsword sculpture above the palace, Dai Tianfeng's eyes shone brightly.

It was indeed a sword, and its grade was even higher than I had expected.

"Walk."

Dai Tianfeng spoke, and as soon as his voice fell, he drew his sword and charged forward at breakneck speed.

Beside him, Wujie glanced at Dai Tianfeng and spoke up as well:

"Amitabha Buddha, come with me and retrieve this treasure for our Buddhist Order."

The two top powers set off one after the other, their reaction speeds were equally impressive.

Immediately afterwards, some quick-thinking individuals also hurriedly followed, not wanting to fall behind.

At times like this, just watching from the outside is useless; whoever gets in first has a much better chance.

Roar!

As the crowd surged in, the spirit beasts that were originally present around the palace were also affected, roaring angrily.

The territory they were once familiar with had undergone incomprehensible changes, which was why they were so timid and hesitant. But now, that familiar feeling had returned, and so many little creatures were trespassing on their territory again.

This is intolerable.

In an instant, the spirit beasts were enraged and attacked the group.

This immediately solidified many people's resolve.

With so many powerful spirit beasts, how could the opportunities here be anything less than excellent?

Even if you don't get the lion's share, just getting a sip of the soup is a huge opportunity!

Although he did not see it, Lu Changzhi had anticipated this situation.

However, at this moment, his mind was not on the Eighth Palace at all.

At this moment, he was using the illusion array on the sack to weave a dream for Zhou Xun.

Of course, it's not about spring, but about convincing people of something.

Deceiving others is not just making things up; it's a skill.

Of course, he didn't say that.

This was said by an elder of the Five Symbols Sect.

Time passed little by little.

On the Eighth Palace side, the speed at which everyone advanced was simply astonishing.

Of course, it is mainly used to describe Dai Tianfeng and Wujie's two groups.

Unlike Qin Han's cautious approach when entering the palace, Dai Tianfeng and his group displayed an overbearing style to the fullest extent.

On the straight path that Dai Tianfeng was traveling, whenever any spirit beast made a move, it would immediately be met with a sword strike from Dai Tianfeng.

As long as they don't block the way, whether they die or not is unimportant. Even if they don't die, the people following Dai Tianfeng will step forward to prevent the spirit beast from entangled in their journey.

In contrast, the group of monks led by Wujie were much quieter, and didn't even make a move.

There was no other reason than that they did not choose any other route, but happened to be following not far behind Dai Tianfeng and his group.

What Dai Tianfeng and others could do, they could do as well.

Before long, Dai Tianfeng and his group approached the palace.

As the group of people intruded and approached, the powerful spirit beast that dwelled near the palace once again turned its attention to them.

However, this time, he was not as calm as Qin Han had been before.

Dai Tianfeng and his group were too imposing, even somewhat threatening.

Behind them, Wujie paused slightly.

Then, he turned his head to look in the direction where the monster was.

Deep within its eyes, golden Buddhist light emerged, like a golden line that coalesced into a Sanskrit symbol. Wujie's gaze seemed to pierce through the forest trees, landing on the location of the demon beast.

"Roar!"

A moment later, the roar of the monster suddenly rang out.

The trees swayed, and a flash of light appeared, suddenly leaping out from the jungle and rushing towards Dai Tianfeng and his group.

In Dai Tianfeng's eyes, a flash of sword light passed by.

However, it was clear that they had been prepared for this.

With a flash of light, a shield appeared and crashed down in front of the palace.

Boom!

The shield landed on the ground with the force of a heavy door crashing down, causing the ground to tremble. An astonishingly solid aura emanated from it, guarding the area.

At the same time, those around him held their shields on their arms, channeling their power to combine with the shields' defense.

Bang!

The spirit beast attacked, its large body carrying astonishing power as it landed on the shield, instantly causing cracks to appear all around it.

However, with the combined support of the group, the shield's defense was surprisingly strong, and it was not destroyed.

At that very moment, Dai Tianfeng had already entered the palace.

Wujie's gaze left the shield, his body surrounded by Buddhist light, and he passed in front of the spirit beast as if it were nothing before stepping into the palace.

The palace had several gates, but now all of them were open to create pathways.

A bad feeling crept into Dai Tianfeng's heart.

This place has probably already been claimed by someone else!

He rushed into the hall, and when he saw the scene inside, Dai Tianfeng's face immediately darkened.

The sword's powerful aura remained, but it could not be sensed at all. There were also several other unique points of aura, but nothing else could be seen at this moment.

At this moment, Wujie's figure also entered the hall.

The intense Buddhist light surrounding him eased slightly upon seeing the situation inside the hall. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Dai Tianfeng:

"It seems you have no affinity with the treasures of this place."

How to quickly anger someone.

It means saying something that really hurts when someone is hurting them.

Right now, Wujie has already done it.

Clang!

Dai Tianfeng suddenly raised his sword and pointed it at Wujie. The sword was sharp and its aura instantly enveloped Wujie. The sword did not strike, but it trembled and its Sword Intent was invisible as it pierced towards Wujie.

Wujie formed a mudra with his hands, his lips moved slightly, and a faint Sanskrit character condensed in the Buddha's light, which he held in front of him. Immediately afterward, the Buddha's light trembled, and a strong wind arose around Wujie Jie.

They would resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

"You acted quickly, but unfortunately, it lacked something."

Wujie shook his head slightly, but his gaze was fixed on a spot in the palace.

"However, the person who seized this opportunity performed even worse than you."

As far Wujie could see, there were scattered spots of blood on the ground that had not yet dried, and traces of the blood were still faintly visible.
