191: Chapter 191 A familiar feeling

“Pfft…” Liu Zhijie’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and promptly fainted.

At this moment, everyone had no time to concern themselves with him; they hurriedly took out their Medicinal Pills for healing, consumed them, and began circulating their Qi to treat their injuries.

But just then, the entire pavilion suddenly began to shake, growing increasingly violent, with things constantly falling from above, as if it could collapse at any moment.

“What’s happening?”

Everyone was greatly alarmed. The Formation was broken, and they had barely escaped with their lives. If they were to be crushed to death like this, it would be too frustrating.

Ever since entering this pavilion, they had already known that there were no exits unless the walls were broken, otherwise, they simply couldn't get out.

Luo Qingxue conjured a Spiritual Qi shield to protect her Junior Sisters, then summoned a long sword and unleashed a full-powered strike towards the wall.

However, such a powerful blow could not break through the wall at all, not even leaving a single scratch.

Lu Xiaoyao had originally intended to attack as well, but after seeing Luo Qingxue’s ineffective strike, his heart also sank to the bottom. He circulated all the Spiritual Qi in his body to form a powerful shield above himself, as for his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Lu Xiaoyao chose to ignore them.

“Young Miss!” Xiao Ling’s face turned even paler. The building above their heads was slowly descending. If they couldn't escape, only death awaited them.

They hadn't expected to jump out of one fiery pit only to fall into another abyss.

“Let me try!” Nangong Yuyan summoned her Spiritual Artifact, pouring all her spiritual power into it. Then, the long sword, like a Dragon emerging from the sea, fiercely struck the wall.

“Boom!”

After the loud explosion, the wall remained perfectly intact.

Everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom. Even a King Sealing Realm expert couldn't break the walls here. In their current state, it could be said that they were certain to die. They hadn't expected that coming in for an Opportunity this time would result in them losing their lives for nothing.

Their only comfort was that if they died, they wouldn't be left exposed in the wilderness, and they would even have an Emperor-grade spiritual weapon as a coffin.

“Young Miss, quickly use the Boundary-breaking Talisman to get out.” Xiao Ling cried out anxiously.

Everyone looked at Nangong Yuyan upon hearing this, their eyes revealing greed and the desire for survival, but the King Sealing Realm aura emanating from Nangong Yuyan made them hesitate.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Just then, cracks began to appear on the surrounding walls, but these cracks were not large enough for them to escape. Perhaps by the time the cracks were large enough to walk through, they would already be flattened by the collapsing structure above them.

Just then, a powerful surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly passed through those cracks, enveloping everyone present. Before they could react, the building above their heads crashed down, but with the resistance of that Spiritual Qi, they were unharmed.

“Rumble!”

The entire War King Palace collapsed, while the people on the second floor remained stunned in place.

It wasn't until that Spiritual Qi dissipated that they reacted, but before they could think too much, a powerful pulling force acted upon each of them.

Their bodies uncontrollably flew towards the sky and disappeared.

By the time Nangong Yuyan and the others appeared outside, the entrance to the King's Relics had already vanished.

“Young Miss, how are you?” Wan Qingshan rushed forward when he saw Nangong Yuyan and Xiao Ling looking a bit disheveled, his expression changing drastically. Thankfully, they came out safely. If anything had happened to Nangong Yuyan in the Relics, he, Wan Qingshan, would be to blame even if he died ten thousand times.

“Old Wan, I’m fine!” Nangong Yuyan merely waved her hand lightly, then looked around as if searching for someone.

Wan Qingshan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then softly asked, “Young Miss, what are you looking for?”

Nangong Yuyan scanned the area but didn't find Zhang Bufan and the others. Her heart sank, and she asked, “Old Wan, did you see Young Master Zhang and the others come out?”

“No!” Wan Qingshan shook his head. “Before you came out, I only saw Feng Yunyu from Battle Heaven Holy Land, and a few Loose Cultivator Disciples being teleported out.”

Nangong Yuyan’s face turned pale. Could it be that Young Master Zhang and the others were still in the Relics?

But the entrance to the Relics had already closed, hadn't it?

Seeing Nangong Yuyan's expression, Wan Qingshan cautiously asked, “Young Miss, Young Master Zhang and the others…”

“We got separated inside.” Nangong Yuyan looked worried and asked, “Old Wan, in previous openings of the King's Relics, were there any other exits?”

Wan Qingshan pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “In previous openings of the King's Relics, there was only one entrance and exit. As for whether there are any other exits, I haven't heard of it.”

Nangong Yuyan’s heart sank further upon hearing this, but thinking of Zhang Bufan’s strength, she still held onto a sliver of hope and instructed, “Old Wan, use all the power of the Wanbao Pavilion to search for Young Master Zhang throughout the entire Eastern Region.”

Wan Qingshan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that if Zhang Bufan hadn't appeared here, there was a high probability that he had already fallen. But when he saw Nangong Yuyan’s resolute expression, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. “I will go and do that immediately. It’s crowded and chaotic here, Young Miss, please return to the war chariot first.”

At the entrance, it was currently a scene of chaos, with all sorts of sounds: laughter, loud weeping, and exclamations of awe.

Who would have thought that so much would happen during this opening of the King's Relics? Of the one thousand people who entered, less than ten percent came out alive.

Especially on the Loose Cultivator Alliance's side, only two people were still alive, and their auras were extremely weak, their Souls having suffered severe damage.

Now, the leaders of the major powers all had grim expressions. This entry into the King's Relics had resulted in heavy losses for them. Lie Hai Realm Cultivators were the mainstays of the various major powers, and losing so many at once was heartbreaking for anyone.

Fortunately, their Saints and Saintesses had all come out, otherwise, the loss would have been even greater.

Luo Qingxue briefly exchanged a few words with her Master, then ran towards Nangong Yuyan.

Nangong Yuyan had just arrived at the war chariot. Seeing Luo Qingxue running towards her, she asked, “Saintess Luo, is there something?”

“Young Miss Nangong, do you have any news of Young Master Zhang?” Luo Qingxue had just asked her Master, but her Master had only recently arrived and wasn't sure if anyone had come out earlier. Moreover, he had carefully scanned the surrounding crowd and hadn't found Zhang Bufan and the others, so she wanted to inquire with Nangong Yuyan.

Nangong Yuyan said somewhat dejectedly, “No, before we came out, only Feng Yunyu and a few people from the Loose Cultivator Alliance came out.”

Luo Qingxue’s face immediately turned ugly, and her heart sank to the bottom.

“Saintess Luo, I have already instructed the Wanbao Pavilion to begin searching from this area outwards. If Young Master Zhang and the others come out, there will soon be news.”

Luo Qingxue nodded, then, recalling something, she softly asked, “Young Miss Nangong, when the War King Palace collapsed, did you feel that the Spiritual Qi protecting us felt familiar?”
