583: crisis

However, after enduring to the brink of explosion, they all suppressed themselves.

The two sides cooperated to explore the Secret Realm.

It was completely not worth it to start a dispute over such a small matter.

What's more, Zhanlang didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

The group actively advanced towards the divine mountain.

Now, before them was a valley with embankments on both sides.

They walked at the very bottom of the valley.

But just as they were about to pass through the valley,

Zhanlang suddenly stopped.

He stared at the unremarkable ground ahead for a long time.

Then he remained motionless, even actively sending a message to Wang Yan and Wang Gou.

"Don't go any further. Let the people of the Great Martial Imperial Family go first."

As soon as these words came out, both Wang Yan and Wang Gou were stunned.

They couldn't quite figure out what Zhanlang meant by this action.

However, they were not pedantic people.

They quickly understood the key point.

Perhaps there was a trap ahead.

Zhanlang's action must have a deeper meaning.

Perhaps he intended to save their lives.

Because of their previous spatial insights,

both of them had a good impression of Zhanlang.

And in the current situation, letting others go first was indeed not a difficult thing to understand. The two of them stopped along with Zhanlang.

"Why aren't you continuing?"

One of the princes spoke.

His tone even carried a hint of doubt.

The next moment, he was about to continue forward.

Dongfang Chen pulled him.

He looked at Zhanlang and the others, who were quietly waiting to watch the show, with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Then he asked cautiously,

"Have you few seen anything? Is there anything special ahead?"

As soon as these words came out, the other two princes also reacted.

Their gazes were fixed on Zhanlang and the two members of the Wang family.

Wang Gou's face showed no change in expression whatsoever.

For those practicing the Gou Dao, remaining calm in the face of a mountain storm was basic training.

If one couldn't even do that,

then trying to scheme against others or remain safe would basically be impossible.

In contrast, Wang Yan's brow furrowed slightly.

But it quickly smoothed out.

After all, in the Lower Realm, he had experienced several travels and faced crises quite a few times.

His experience was quite rich.

In contrast, Zhanlang should have been the one most likely to show something.

But Zhanlang's face still showed no expression.

Instead, he just smiled faintly. "We are merely outsiders, how could we know the specific information within this Secret Realm?"

"Is there anything special ahead? We few don't know. The main reason we are waiting here is because we are exploring the Secret Realm together; one person walking too fast shows no team spirit."

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Chen and the others clearly didn't quite believe him.

However, the other party's expression didn't reveal any special changes.

Even if they were suspicious, there was nothing they could say.

But to make them pass through this checkpoint directly was also clearly impossible.

They were all princes.

Their lives were somewhat precious.

Naturally, it was impossible for them to take such risks.

After a brief moment of commotion, Dongfang Chen looked at the retinue behind him.

Then he pointed at a Fat Man.

"You, go over and take a look."

"Can I not go?"

The fat man's face immediately fell.

Although he didn't know what kind of danger lay ahead,

as cannon fodder, he really couldn't be happy.

Dongfang Chen's face darkened.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Think carefully before you speak."

The fat man's face showed a helpless, bitter smile.

Then, he actively walked forward.

He had only walked about 10 steps.

Instantly, a golden light appeared.

Immediately after, the fat man's figure instantly vanished from the spot.

The next moment, he turned into a skeleton and fell to the ground.

Even his clothes and attire disappeared without a trace.

Instantly, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for Zhanlang, they would have stopped on their own.

If they had rushed forward so recklessly, the scene might have been extremely tragic.

For a time, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

It was only after a while that someone came to their senses.

"What exactly is this?"

Everyone remained silent.

It was just a brief moment; they couldn't figure out what the trap was.

They could only confirm that its power was incredibly strong.

After thinking for a moment,

Dongfang Chen looked at another attendant.

"You continue forward, don't take the same path as before, go the other way."

The person pointed to this time was also a fat man.

He walked over with a bitter expression.

However, due to the previous lesson,

he deliberately walked cautiously.

And he constantly kept his defensive abilities at max level.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards the mouth of the valley.

He even deliberately avoided the path the previous person had taken.

Getting closer and closer.

Just as he thought he was about to pass through the valley mouth and be safe.

Instantly, a golden light flashed.

Runes rose from beneath his feet.

"Ah?"

He only had time to let out a cry of surprise.

The next moment, a streak of light flashed.

An incredibly sharp blade directly pierced through the Cultivator's body.

Silently, the person was cut in half.

His flesh fell to the ground.

Immediately after, runes rose from the ground, emitting extremely brilliant rays of light.

A moment later, all the person's blood disappeared.

Only a white skeleton remained sitting on the ground.

His Divine Soul was completely annihilated.

For a time, everyone present felt even more terrified.

They had originally thought that this person would be able to rush through.

They hadn't expected such danger at the very last moment.

For a time, everyone's hearts were filled with fear.

Two consecutive Breakthrough failures made them think about withdrawing.

But as attendants, they were completely at the mercy of others.

Even if they wanted to withdraw, they had no ability to do so.

Even their own lives were in the hands of their masters.

If their masters allowed them to live, then they could live.

If their masters didn't allow them to live, then they would die today.

However, the three princes also fell silent.

At this moment, all three of them were completely silent.

Wang Yan and Wang Gou also had very solemn expressions.

They had, after all, underestimated the danger level within this Secret Realm.

Now, it was only the first stage, and they hadn't even fully seen the so-called Opportunity.

Yet two people had already died.

What about later?

Would they have to use human lives to bear the brunt of every danger?

Not to mention that they hadn't even broken through this first stage yet. As expected of the Great Luo Secret Realm.

The dangers within it were beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The two of them secretly marveled in their hearts.

Dongfang Chen turned and looked at the attendants behind him again.

Immediately, many attendants took a step back.

Dongfang Chen's face grew cold.

However, he also knew that continuously sending people to their deaths like this was not a long-term solution.

He turned around and carefully observed the spot where the runes had appeared.

His eyes were almost bloodshot, trying to glimpse a trick, to find a pattern.
