Chapter 295

This was definitely a dangerous place. The chill in the air became thicker, and there were more corpses on the ground.

Zi Chen and Ah Tian followed behind the crowd. They felt a chill down their spines. After the colorful corpse poison, two more groups of people died here.

Poof!

Another soft sound rang out. The large faction in front had accidentally stepped into the formation. In the next moment, a bright light appeared. It was dozens of meters wide and directly enveloped the large faction.

In an instant, the figures of the major factions disappeared, leaving behind a group of cultivators who retreated in fear.

"It's the Geng family!" Someone exclaimed.

Many of the Geng family's experts were enveloped by the light. Terrifying killing intent seeped out of their bodies, making clanging sounds.

"That's all the Geng family's experts. Several of them were in the air, but they were all swallowed by the formation."

"It's too scary. Geng Le is also in there. He's a monster."

"Will the Geng family be wiped out here?"

Everyone's expression changed. They had a bad feeling and retreated again.

Zi Chen and Ah Tian retreated far away.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a terrifying aura appeared. The light in the formation began to tremble. Then, as if it was being torn apart by a strong force, it became distorted. After a few breaths, it exploded with a bang.

The formation shattered, revealing the Geng family's experts. However, all of them had ugly expressions. Geng Le's face was pale as a ghost. Beside him were several corpses.

"It's a forbidden artifact. They broke the formation with a forbidden artifact."

A dazzling mirror appeared in the air. There were cracks around it. As the formation disappeared, the mirror's light faded and became simple. It was held in the hand of one of the experts.

"This is too scary. We clearly followed the map. There shouldn't be any mistakes. Why did we touch the formation before we even reached the ruins?"

Everyone was puzzled. If it happened once, it could be a coincidence. However, it had already happened three times.

Before they even reached the ruins, they had already stepped on three formations by mistake.

There was something strange about this.

The major factions hesitated. They stopped and frowned. After a while, they gathered together and began to discuss in low voices.

They were fully prepared and wanted to retreat. Clearly, they were unwilling to do so.

"This is a formation from the ancient times. Its power is unparalleled. Unfortunately, there are not many people in the world who can thoroughly study the formation here."

"These are all ancient formations. They possess unimaginable power. However, it's obvious that the few major powers haven't studied ancient formations much."

At the back, people began to discuss again.

It seemed that ever since the Boundless Sect's disappearance and the rise of the other great powers, everyone had focused on strength and ignored Formations.

As long as they encountered the formation, the various great forces would repeatedly suffer losses.

"Not good."

Zi Chen's face suddenly changed as he looked at the several forces in front of him who were discussing. He pulled Ah Tian and was about to leave without saying anything.

"What are you doing? We haven't reached the ruins yet." Ah Tian asked.

"Let's hurry up and leave. We can't go to the ruins anymore. Saving our lives is more important."

Zi Chen said. If his guess was right, the major powers would definitely ask them to scout ahead.

At that time, they would be cannon fodder.

"All of you, lead the way."

"The people at the back, from now on, will lead the way."

At this moment, a cold voice sounded. It was obvious that the major powers had discussed and decided to let the rogue cultivators take the lead.

"Why? Are you trying to kill us?"

"The few of you have a safe route. Aren't you trying to kill us by letting us take the lead?"

Amidst the quarrel, Ah Tian's face changed drastically. He looked at Zi Chen with admiration. Zi Chen's reaction was fast. Ah Tian, who was unlucky, was not unlucky today.

"Stop."

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

No one paid attention to it. The quarrel continued.

"Stop. Both of you, stop right there."

A loud shout sounded again. It was Geng Le. The latter's pale face had a touch of coldness because of fear.

"Catch them."

One by one, silhouettes flew out and grabbed Zi Chen and Ah Tian.

"Oh no, it's Geng Le's people." Ah Tian exclaimed.

However, at this moment, they were not the only ones running away. They were not afraid of being recognized.

"Damn the major powers." Zi Chen cursed.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared in front of them. A crazy killing intent swept across the world like a storm. A cold figure stood in the air, blocking all the people who were trying to escape.

Yu Kong blocked the way.

"Get back." Yu Kong shouted coldly. His voice was cold, and his eyes were flashing with killing intent.

"Why?"

Ah Tian was about to say something, but Zi Chen covered his mouth and shook his head. "Don't talk."

"Why?"

"You want to use us as cannon fodder and send us to our deaths? We are not stupid. I want to leave now."

Among the people who were running away, a few tough voices sounded.

"Swoosh."

In the air, Yu Kong's eyes flashed with killing intent. Two fingers formed a sword and shot out a bright sword Qi, shooting towards the person who spoke.

The sword Qi was very fast and unusually sharp. In an instant, it cut through the crowd.

Two heads fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Zi Chen did not say anything and directly retreated. He had seen the behavior of the major powers in Cangli City. When the city was sealed that day, they were just as strong.

Whoever dared to speak up would be treated as the first bird to be shot down.

Moreover, there were so many experts here. Zi Chen did not want to expose his identity. It was not a wise decision to rush in and kill.

"Damn it."

Zi Chen cursed. He was extremely angry. Elder Mo was very good at studying arrays, but he did not wake up.

He was too careless. He should have let Elder Mo wake up first.

At this moment, Geng Le rushed in front of the two and said coldly, "I told you to stop and run. Go to the front. Hurry up."

Zi Chen glanced at Geng Le.

"What are you looking at? You want to die?" Geng Le shouted. His eyes flashed with killing intent.

But he was stopped by someone.

The deterrence was enough. If he killed indiscriminately, it would cause a riot.

Zi Chen and Ah Tian walked at the front of the group. However, they were not the worst. Those who came later, under Yu Kong's cold gaze, walked at the very front, trembling with fear.

"One by one, don't all go."

Behind them, the Geng Family's cold voice sounded.

"Damn it, this group of big forces is really not good. When there is no danger, they go forward and try to get some benefits. Now that there is a problem with the array, they all hide."

Among the cannon fodder, there were curses.

But the big forces pretended not to hear. They were going to die anyway, so there was no need to care.

"Zi Chen, what do we do?"

"Let's take one step at a time. I hope our luck is not that bad." Zi Chen was helpless.

"It's over. I am the unlucky Ah Tian. I have never been lucky. You will die if you stay with me." Ah Tian's face turned pale.

"It's okay. I am the lucky Zi Chen. Besides, your bad luck has been swept away that day." Zi Chen comforted, but he was not confident.

Luck was something that no one could say for sure.

At this moment, the rogue cultivators became the real cannon fodder. Under Yu Kong's strong pressure, everyone had no choice but to accept this reality.

Fortunately, they were not far from the entrance of the ruins.

As they were cursing, one of the cultivators trembled as he staggered forward. However, he had only made it tens of metres when he stepped into the magic array and was instantly devoured.

Everyone's face changed.

"Look, it's you rogue cultivators who barged into the ruins and caused the array to change. Now, it's up to you to find a new safe path."

Before the rogue cultivators could complain about the death of one of them, the big forces' voices sounded behind them.

"Damn it, who is the one who is greedy?"

"There are so many rogue cultivators. If you have the guts, go find those who died."

Everyone cursed and swore. After that, they continued to move forward.

This time, the rogue cultivator deliberately bypassed this place and walked to the left. After about a hundred meters, another array appeared and swallowed the rogue cultivator.

And this time, a super large array appeared. It was hundreds of meters in size and almost covered all the paths in front.

Everyone's face changed. Had this place become a land of death?

Under the urging of the third rogue cultivator, he continued to move forward, but this time, he started from the right side of the first array and kept moving forward.

When he was a hundred meters in front, the large array did not appear. The rogue cultivator walked carefully, but after another hundred meters, the array was activated again.

Seeing the rogue cultivators die one by one, all the rogue cultivators' eyes were burning with anger.

These big forces were really shameless. They clearly had forbidden weapons, but they did not use them. Instead, they had to use human lives to pave a path.

Their lives were important, but were the lives of the big forces not important?

After more than a dozen rogue cultivators died, the crowd moved forward a few hundred meters. They were only two hundred meters away from the ruins. However, no one dared to force their way through the 755-meter journey, not even Yu Kong.

From afar, the ruins looked like a huge palace, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura. It was like a giant mouth of the netherworld that swallowed all life.

Obviously, this was not the full appearance of the palace. There were many places that had not been revealed yet. They were either hidden by the array or buried underground.

There was a change in the array. The closer they got, the more dangerous it became. Some cultivators were only able to walk a few meters before they were swallowed by the array.

"Hmph, let's see if you'll die." Behind them, Geng Le looked at Zi Chen and Ah Tian and sneered. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Young Master, do you want to kill them?" Someone from the Geng Family asked in a low voice.

"Why do I need to kill them? They won't survive anyway." Geng Le sneered.

At this moment, another rogue cultivator died. Everyone was frightened, but they had to go forward.

"You, you go up."

Suddenly, Geng Le spoke and pointed at Ah Tian in the crowd.

"Ah."

Ah Tian was stunned. When he saw Geng Le's finger pointing at him, he subconsciously dodged to the side.

"Damn it, why are you dodging? I'm talking about you." Geng Le pointed at Ah Tian, his finger moving along with Ah Tian's movement.

Ah Tian continued to walk left and right with an innocent face. Geng Le's finger followed him.

"Damn it, you idiot. If you continue to walk, I'll kill you." Geng Le said, a murderous intent locked onto Ah Tian.

Ah Tian stopped, and his expression was extremely complicated.

Next to him, the others were gloating. They were all cannon fodder, but they were happy to die a little later.
