Chapter 270: A Fortuitous Opportunity That Would Tempt Even Ye Qingcang
“Lifeless King, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, and her party have reached the Little River of Forget.”
“No harm. The area there is unique and complicated. I have already set up illusion arrays enough to trap them there for a day.”
“But Lifeless King, they have already crossed the bridge.”
“???”
Back at River of Forget, at the Bridge of Helplessness...
Everyone widened their eyes in amazement.
Yes, they had been tricked!
This River of Forget, Bridge of Helplessness, and the Netherworld were just an illusion array set down by some powerful practitioner.
The moment they had come to this River of Forget, they had already entered the array and been submerged into the illusion.
In fact, if Shen Tian hadn’t already seen this in Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus’ halo and made some prior preparations to break this illusion with his Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, he himself might have also been sucked into the illusion.
In Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus’ original fortuitous opportunity scene, she had spent a full day and night before finally fighting her way out of this illusion array.
Meanwhile, nearly half of her party already had their souls captured by that illusion.
Their physical body and souls had fallen into the River of Forget, becoming fertilizer.
Thus, Shen Tian had actually saved the lives of those folks!
“Saint Shen Tian, we are indebted to you!”
“Didn’t expect that Saint Shen Tian’s Dao Heart is so resolute. You are able to completely see through this illusion.”
“I hadn’t believed it when everyone was saying that the Saint was an invincible Eight-Star Prodigy. But now I am utterly convinced!”
“Saint, I will never forget the fact that you saved my life. I have a daughter who is young and beautiful. I am willing to have her become your servant girl.”
“Dream on. Your daughter looks like a round melon. How can she be worthy to serve our Saint!?”
“Saint, you should choose my daughter instead! She has the bloodline of a demon fox!”
...
What!?
They were in such dire straits now. Is this really an appropriate time to talk about giving me their daughters?
Shouldn’t they wait until they have returned home and then pay me a discreet visit before sending their daughters over?
These guys really didn’t know how to do things properly!
Sigh... I suddenly feel like smacking them in the head!
“Be quiet. This should be the Seven Kill Sect’s true core forbidden area.”
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance fixed her eyes on the bloody-yellow river water. “I previously learned a number of skills from Spirit Venerable Divine Water. The landscape of this mountain range is unique. It has been remade by a high-level practitioner to form a special ‘Netherworld Yellow Springs’. It is very evil.”
She took out her flare gun and aimed it into the sky. “Just in case, it is best for us to inform the Sacred Leaders and the rest first!”
Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus held her fiery-red crescent blade. “This area and illusion are indeed somewhat strange. But it is not enough to pose a threat to me. You all stay here and wait for reinforcements. I will cross the bridge first to scout out a route.”
With that, Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus marched fiercely toward the other end of the Bridge of Helplessness.
Whenever a team met with special domains, mystic realms, or small worlds, someone had to venture forth to scout the area first.
This was to avoid everyone perishing together if the team encountered some terrible, fatal danger.
But it was rare to see a person like Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus, who was so eager to scout out the area.
“Senior Sister is still so impatient.” Heavenly Venerable White Lotus didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Senior Sister Scarlet Dance, I better go along with her so that we can take care of each other!”
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance thought for a moment before replying, “I am more familiar with this type of domain. Let me go with her. Junior Sister White Lotus, you should stay here!
“After all, what if some Evil Spirit Sect Heavenly Venerable attacks these Supremacies and Perfected Ones? They will need a Heavenly Venerable to protect them, or they will be in mortal danger.”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus mulled over it.
That’s right. Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus’ safety is important, but so are the lives of those other disciples, especially Tian’er. Even if the rest of them all perished, it would just be a blow to the sacred grounds’ morale. However, if something happens to Tian’er, it will be a fatal blow to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and we might never get the chance to rise again.
“Senior Sister Scarlet Dance has a point. Be careful then.”
...
Shen Tian stepped forward. “I will accompany Aunt-Master Crimson Lotus and you too! We can take care of each other if we meet with some illusion or anything else.”
“No way!” Heavenly Venerable White Lotus blurted out. “It’s too dangerous. If something happens to you, it will be such a devastating loss to our sect that it will be no compensation even if we annihilate the entire Seven Kill Sect!”
Shen Tian took out his Saint Token with a smile. “Aunt-Master White Lotus, don’t worry. This Saint Token still has Master’s powers sealed inside. I will be fine.
“Anyway, I am confident that, as long as no Evil Spirit Sect Sage launches a sneak attack at me, no one can get to me!”
As long as no Evil Spirit Sect Sage launches a sneak attack at Shen Tian, no one can get to him?
How confident! How domineering!
Looking at Shen Tian, who appeared so magnificent in his Longyuan Divine Armor, all the younger fairies were completely bewitched.
So handsome, so fearless, so brave. He is indeed the Divine Firmament Saint!
What they didn’t know was that Shen Tian was haggling with someone else in his mind right now.
“Senior, must we really go in? Will we really not meet with danger?”
The God of War Pagoda inside Shen Tian glowed imperceptibly. “What are you afraid of? You have me protecting you! If you really end up in danger, I will drag out the God of War Pagoda to save you!”
Ye Qingcang sounded quite excited. “A rare opportunity! Didn’t expect to encounter such a great item in such a desolate place!”
“You are really a lucky charm! Don’t hesitate anymore. Let’s go!”
A great item?
Shen Tian didn’t understand what made Ye Qingcang so happy.
After all, he hadn’t seen anything that amazing in the fortuitous opportunities above the heads of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus!
Never mind, since this old man promised that he would be fine, he would try then!
Anyway, if they really met with danger, he could just retract all his aura and burrow into the ground. Given how many trump cards he held in his pocket, Shen Tian didn’t believe that he could be so easily killed.
Shen Tian felt more courageous at this thought. “Aunt-Master, please let me come along!”
Since Shen Tian was so insistent, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus didn’t try to object anymore.
Never mind. Anyway, according to Senior Brother Sacred Leader, Tian’er is the Son of Providence blessed by the heavens.
It should be unlikely that the Son of Providence would bump into any danger even when barging into a mystic realm! Perhaps he might even be able to take care of the two Heavenly Venerables.
After all, previously at the illusion array at the Bridge of Helplessness, it was Tian’er who was the first to snap out of the illusion and wake the rest.
“Alright, then. Tian’er remember to stay close behind Senior Sisters Crimson Lotus and Scarlet Dance. Don’t take any unnecessary risks.”
As Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nagged after him like a mother, Shen Tian crossed the Bridge of Helplessness.
The moment he and the two Heavenly Venerables stepped off the bridge on the other side, the scene before their eyes changed completely.
They turned and saw that the bridge had already disappeared. They were on a yellow dirt path with red flowers blooming on either side.
They were very bizarre-looking flowers with no leaves and petals a brilliant red like fresh blood. They covered a vast expanse, as far as the eye could see.
Apart from the winding yellow dirt path, all they could see was a sea of those flowers, blooming wantonly, like blood and fire.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s eyes turned serious. “Yellow Springs Road, Hurricane Lilies! What the hell is this high-level practitioner trying to do!?”
