Chapter 1548

The guards around the pool were all at the first or second stage of the Domain Realm. Not a single one was at the third stage.

Zi Chen, who was at the peak of the second stage, was at a higher level than them. Coupled with the effect of the perfect Domain Realm, they couldn't see through Zi Chen's concealment technique at all.

Zi Chen hid in the void and quietly approached the pool. He was not discovered during this time.

When he was about to reach the surface of the pool, Zi Chen looked at a certain spot in the void and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, he shot out a beam of energy with a flick of his finger.

This was a concealed energy. It wasn't very strong, but after flying for dozens of meters, it caused ripples.

The gazes of the group of guarding Domain practitioners were focused on the ripples. Under their sinister and cold gazes, a figure appeared.

This was also a second stage Domain Realm cultivator. However, after he appeared, his face was clearly filled with astonishment and embarrassment. He first smiled at the crowd and said, "Sorry, it was a mistake, a mistake."

He waved his hand repeatedly and was about to retreat. However, he was puzzled in his heart. Why had a trace of the energy that he had perfectly controlled dissipated?

"Boom!"

Many dazzling energies appeared and bombarded the second stage Domain Realm cultivator. The latter's expression changed drastically. He shouted loudly and turned to run.

Crazy explosions rang out continuously. Beam after beam of energy chased after the second stage Domain Realm cultivator. The latter screamed and fled frantically.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the second stage Domain Realm cultivator. No one cared about the ripples on the surface of the pool.

Only a slight ripple flashed by. Zi Chen entered the pool and dived down in a straight line.

During the diving process, Zi Chen was still concealed.

During this time, he didn't see a single strange fish or anaconda. It was clear that these Domain Realm cultivators were very serious about their work and didn't leave anyone alive.

After diving to the bottom, Zi Chen saw the figures of eight Domain Realm cultivators. Just as he had guessed, not all of those who didn't come out were dead. Some of them had hidden here in advance to guard this place.

The eight of them stood outside the platform and sat cross-legged. Their Spiritual Senses spread out like a spider web.

When Zi Chen first saw the glowing platform, there was nothing there. But now, there was a door. It was a solid door, and the door was stained with blood.

In front of the door, on the platform, was a corpse. It was a female corpse, the one Zhou Tong had prepared to sacrifice as a last resort.

Her body was divided into several sections. Looking at the neat incisions, it was probably forcefully separated by a sharp weapon.

The eight Domain Realm experts sat cross-legged with their backs to the corpse and the door. They had no intention of collecting the corpse.

The pool was still the same as before, but the eight Domain Realm experts suddenly lost their senses. It was as if their spiritual senses had been forcibly cut off.

The eight of them opened their eyes at the same time and looked forward. At a glance, they saw many small green trees. These small trees took root in the void and absorbed the power of the void.

"This is."

The eight of them widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Void Tree, this is the Void Tree."

"Oh my god, it is indeed the Void Tree. Why are there so many Void Trees here all of a sudden?"

As far as the eye could see, there were no less than 75 Void Trees. The eight of them were completely stunned. They stood up subconsciously and stared at the green Void Trees in disbelief.

Just as they were feeling excited and thought that an opportunity had fallen from the sky, they suddenly saw two people.

One was a handsome young man in a black robe, and the other was a very young woman. The black-robed young man's realm was unknown, and the young woman was a mortal.

The young woman did not look at the eight powerful Domain Realm experts. Instead, her gaze fell on the female corpse in front of the glowing door. She recognized at a glance that the female corpse was the one Zi Chen had asked her grandfather if she was a last resort.

Her grandfather had knelt down before Zi Chen after seeing this person. Then, he had knelt down for a long time and died.

When she saw the female corpse, Zhou Ya still did not know what had happened and why all of this had happened.

Her gaze moved away from the female corpse and landed on the door. A hint of confusion appeared in her confused eyes.

She tried hard to recall something, but nothing came to mind.

This place seemed familiar, as if she had seen it in her dreams.

Unfortunately, she could not speak, so she could not share it with others. However, she could speak in her dreams, and her voice was very pleasant.

"Who are you?"

A cold shout woke Zhou Ya up. Only then did she see the situation in front of her. There were actually eight powerful experts standing in front of her.

These eight people exuded an extremely powerful aura. This aura was even more powerful than that of Overlord Mo Sixiu. A hint of fear appeared in Zhou Ya's eyes.

However, in the next moment, she saw eight beams of light sweep out from behind her and shoot toward the eight powerful existences in front of her.

The eight powerful existences stood there in a daze with intense fear and shock on their faces. They did not move as they watched the eight beams of light sweep past and cut open their bodies.

Eight Domain Realm experts had died in one blow.

Zhou Ya's small mouth was wide open. She was completely stunned.

"Try to open it."

Zi Chen said as he walked to Zhou Ya's side with footsteps.

Zhou Ya nodded and carefully walked forward. She walked to the side of the female corpse, and a trace of pity appeared on her face.

Zi Chen raised his hand and sprinkled a sheet of light. He said, "I will bury her."

After he finished speaking, the female corpse disappeared.

Zhou Ya turned back and looked at Zi Chen gratefully. Then, she took a few steps forward and walked to the door.

After carefully sizing up the door, Zhou Ya raised her lily-white hand and pushed it in front of her.

The door immediately emitted light, and the light enveloped Zhou Ya. Zi Chen looked at Zhou Ya's back. In a daze, he seemed to see a slender, elegant, and holy figure.

The door emitted a dazzling light. Just like that, Zhou Ya pushed it open bit by bit.

Everything was that simple.

…

…

Dong Qing and the tall man stood outside the tavern. He did not need to waste his breath to explain anything. The tall man sensed that the entire tavern was enveloped by a powerful aura.

This was a very pure Domain Realm aura. It did not seem to be a high realm, but it contained a very strong power.

He scanned it with his spiritual sense. His guess was the same as Dong Qing's. The entire tavern was a formation.

The tavern did not seem big, but there might be a hidden world inside.

It could not be easier to hide just three people.

"My Lord, what should we do?" Dong Qing asked cautiously when the Lord arrived without saying a word.

"We are here to ask for people. If they don't give us, then we are here to kill them. Even if they give us, we have to kill them. Since we are going to do it anyway, there is no need for etiquette. We can just do it directly." The tall man smiled faintly.

"But … this …" Dong Qing hesitated.

The tall man smiled again and said, "I'm indeed not an expert in formations, but not all formations can only be broken after entering the formation."

Dong Qing's eyes lit up. He understood the Lord's meaning. He was going to forcefully erase the formation from outside.

In this way, the people in the tavern would not be able to survive.

But what was a few people dying? In this world, people died every day.

A strong aura was released from the tall man's body. His black hair danced wildly, and his eyes were wide open. He began to accumulate power.

The wind danced, and Dong Qing's clothes fluttered. He had already retreated dozens of meters, but he had no choice but to retreat again and again.

The power of space around him began to distort wildly. A huge ball of light appeared in front of the tall man. The ball of light released a strong aura.

Everyone within a few miles felt an oppressive aura in their hearts. It was so oppressive that they could not breathe.

They looked up at the sky in confusion. They felt as if the sky was falling down.

In the real world, the tavern and the figure of the tall man had disappeared, leaving only Dong Qing with a shocked expression on her face.

Clearly, the Lord had used his full strength.

The power of space shook slightly, and the ball of light moved forward.

This attack was like teleportation. The ball of light had just disappeared when it was outside the tavern. It was heading toward the formation outside the tavern.

This attack was extraordinarily powerful. The formation was broken in an instant. The tavern turned into nothingness, and an empty area appeared in front of the tavern.

The tall man was slightly stunned. Dong Qing also looked at the empty tavern in front of him in confusion.

The Lord, who had used 655% of his strength, had destroyed the tavern and the formation with only 65% of his strength.

It was like seeing a huge rock and trying to move it with all his strength, only to suddenly discover that the rock was hollow.

"How could this be?" Dong Qing was puzzled.

The tall man was also stunned. But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He turned pale and said, "Not good."

Dong Qing also reacted quickly. His expression changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain. We fell into a trap."

The two of them looked at each other. Then, they turned around and flew toward the pool.

The two of them, who had used their maximum speed, still felt very slow. They were just short of using some kind of forbidden super power.

The two of them rushed to the side of the pool. When the Domain realm cultivators saw them, one of them stepped forward and said, "My Lord, we didn't …"

He wanted to show off his achievement. But before he could finish speaking, the tall man sent him flying with a slap.

This was a furious attack. The man's body had only flown a few dozen meters when he exploded with a loud bang.

He killed a second-stage Domain realm cultivator with a single slap.

"Plop." "Plop."

Two loud sounds rang out. The two of them fell into the pool one after the other and dived toward the bottom.

Both of their faces were filled with anxiety and suppressed rage. If they were really plotted against and got ahead of them, not only would their twelve years of hard work go to waste, they wouldn't even be able to live after that.

Like two meteorites, the two of them fell toward the bottom of the pool in a straight line. During this time, the two of them were somewhat hopeful and praying.

Perhaps they had not set up such a trap to obtain the treasures here. Instead, they had alerted the enemy and fled after setting up the trap.

It was because of this fluke mentality that they still had a trace of hope.
