Chapter 356

"Ah —"

As the cultivators screamed, their bodies turned into white bones instantly. The speed was so fast that they did not expect it at all!

"What terrifying Gu worms!"

The expressions of the two Sages changed. Yan Kuan immediately took action while the old servant protected Huang Fude.

Countless worms swarmed over, and the cultivators at the front could not resist at all. They were instantly devoured by the worms.

Yan Kuan used his divine ability and spent a lot of effort to kill all the Gu worms. Even so, more than ten people were killed or injured in that short period of time!

"It's already so dangerous at the beginning. The King of Arms is proficient in the art of mechanisms. I'm afraid it'll be even more dangerous later on."

Yan Kuan's expression turned ugly. Most of the people who died just now were from Netherworld Tower, and a few of them were his juniors.

"You, you, and the rest of you will be in charge of leading the way."

Huang Fude was shocked by the scene just now. If he had walked in front just now, he might have been bitten to death by the worms even with the old servant's protection.

Now that the people in front were all dead, he became the one at the front and said to the people behind him.

These people included Gu Chen and Lu Yichen.

"This …"

With the previous example, how many people were willing to walk in front? They hesitated for a moment.

"Hmph, why are you pointing at people from Netherworld Tower? Why don't you ask people from Underworld God Palace to go up?"

At this moment, Gu Chen, who was disguised as Yan Kun, said unhappily.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've called my people too. It's just that there are more people from Netherworld Tower, so more people will be called. "

Huang Fude frowned.

"You mean that we should die because we have more people?"

Gu Chen's voice became even more displeased.

"We can lead the way, but many people from my Yan Family died just now. Your Underworld God Palace will replace them."

Lu Yichen also spoke at this moment.

"Sure!"

Huang Fude knew that they were in an alliance, and if they were to haggle over this matter, it would inevitably destroy their relationship. Thus, he agreed immediately.

At the same time, he remembered Gu Chen angrily in his heart. Why was this guy picking on him?

Both sides sent some people to lead the way again. Gu Chen and Lu Yichen were among them.

After the attack of the swarm of insects, the road ahead began to become treacherous and changeable. After a while, the road ahead was once again covered by purple mist of unknown origin.

"This mist is not poisonous, but it can block the senses of Divine Sense. There are probably some traps inside. After you enter, you must be careful."

Yan Kuan glanced ahead and reminded.

Gu Chen and the others nodded and carefully stepped into the mist.

"Stay close to me, just in case."

Gu Chen reminded Lu Yichen in a low voice. Once they entered the fog, the people outside could no longer sense the situation inside.

"I know, but what do we do next?"

The visibility in this fog was too low, and everyone was afraid to move forward, afraid that they would encounter the same terrifying insect swarm as before.

"Just follow me."

Gu Chen's Purple Eyes lit up, and for a moment, he could clearly see the various traps hidden in the fog.

On the rock walls on both sides, on the ground, this place was full of traps.

Gu Chen used his Purple Polarity Pupils to identify the dangers of those places. He deliberately brought Lu Yichen with him as he watched the assassins from the Netherworld God Palace brace themselves and advance cautiously.

Pu pu pu pu!

One of the assassins stepped on an uneven spot on the ground, and hundreds of crossbow bolts instantly drilled out of the wall beside him, turning him into a hornet's nest!

"Ah —"

Another assassin's arm accidentally touched the rock wall, and a deep blue flame burst out from inside, burning him to ashes in an instant!

That was a terrifying Mystical Flame, and the temperature that it released was so high that even a king level cultivator could only die!

Very soon, other than Gu Chen and Lu Yichen, everyone else was dead.

At this time, Gu Chen used the powerful detection ability of the Purple Eyes in the fog to avoid all the traps, and finally walked out of the sea of fog with Lu Yichen.

This distance was less than a hundred zhang, but it was extremely dangerous.

At the end, there was a small formation. As long as this formation was destroyed, all the traps in this distance would lose their effect, and the people behind would be able to pass through safely.

"Take out the silver bead before they arrive."

Gu Chen said as he examined the distance to the finish line. He didn't know how far it was.

Lu Yichen nodded, and with a flick of her finger, a silver bead flew to a corner and was hidden in the dust.

With this item, the people from the Heavenly Star Sect could save a lot of energy, and they could teleport over easily.

After that, Gu Chen destroyed the formation, and the purple fog quickly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of this distance.

When their vision cleared up, Huangfu De saw that all the people he brought were dead, especially his cousin from the Huangfu Clan, who died after being pierced by hundreds of arrows. Huangfu De's face turned ugly.

"Why are only you guys alive?"

Huangfu De asked unhappily as everyone quickly passed through the traps that had lost their effect.

"What do you mean? We risked our lives and finally solved the traps. Are you doubting us? "

Gu Chen showed an angry expression.

Huangfu De instantly realized that his tone was wrong. "Of course not. It's just that coincidentally, all the people who died this time were from my Nether God Palace."

"Earlier, more people from my Acheron Tower died. Why didn't you say anything?"

Gu Chen's tone was unfriendly, and Huangfu De couldn't explain himself. He looked around and realized that many people from Acheron Tower were dissatisfied with him.

"Alright, let's continue."

Yan Kuan snorted coldly. In his opinion, Huangfu De's mouth was too cheap. Their people had finally solved the traps, but Huangfu De cared more about his people dying.

Yan Kuan didn't think much of Huangfu Wuji's son. In terms of cultivation, Huangfu Wuji wasn't qualified to be his equal. Huangfu Wuji was only relying on the protection of the Dark Sky Guard.

"Great Uncle, we used up a lot of energy just now, so we won't continue to lead the way."

Gu Chen pretended to be tired and said to Yan Kuan.

Previously, he was worried that if he refused, it would arouse suspicion. Now that he had done a meritorious deed, he could justifiably slack off.

No matter how much danger there was ahead, he would let these people have a taste of it!

"En, you guys follow behind me."

Yan Kuan didn't doubt him. The traps here looked dangerous, and the two of them must have spent a lot of effort to solve them.

Another group of people continued to lead the way, and the group's speed gradually increased. However, the atmosphere changed imperceptibly.

Because of Gu Chen's instigation and Huangfu De's slip of the tongue, there was an invisible gap between the two sides.

This gap gradually widened as waves of danger appeared in front of them.

Even the two Sages didn't realize that they were starting to have misgivings with each other.
