163: Illusion?

From the moment they entered this place, they fell into the “Death Gate”!

After waiting for so long, there has been no external interference. It seems that no one in Xuanyuan City has noticed anything unusual or come to rescue them yet!

To get out, it seems they can only save themselves!

Apart from Lu Ze and Fu Liang, the others didn't know this was a Death Gate.

Now seeing that their respective times were all different, they instantly panicked.

“What exactly is going on? Could it be that we unknowingly exceeded the time to leave?!”

“Once this ruin closes, we won't be able to get out! Then won't we be trapped here until this ruin reopens?!”

“Impossible! So many of us haven't left, the higher-ups of the Demon Subduing Division will definitely be suspicious, and perhaps in a few days, they will send people to search for us!”

“But even if they come looking, they might not be able to find us. Our current location and time seem to be quite abnormal…”

Everyone was discussing animatedly, and as their thoughts were voiced, everyone became even more anxious!

If they had to live here indefinitely, the food and water they brought would be completely insufficient!

Fu Liang and the others also tacitly kept quiet, no one uttered a word, all fixing their gaze on Lu Ze.

Lu Ze had been looking around ever since he noticed the time was different, seemingly searching for something.

Perhaps, Lu Ze could find a way to leave this place!

They were not very familiar with formations and such, so the most they could do now was not to cause trouble.

Fu Liang also instructed Song Wushuang and the others to calm down the noisy people.

Lu Ze surveyed the surrounding environment, estimating in his mind.

Time was chaotic, did that mean this place was originally an illusion?

So many people falling into an illusion showed how powerful it was, so how could they break the formation?

“What is this?!”

A voice suddenly came, pulling Lu Ze’s thoughts over!

He saw one person pointing not far away.

Following his gaze, one could see that not far away, a space was subtly trembling, even showing faint signs of tearing!

“That must be the exit! We can get out from there and return to the normal world!”

One person shouted, overjoyed, completely disregarding his injured leg, and immediately dragged himself forward.

Many others felt the same, their eyes lit up, and they followed suit.

Lu Ze looked at the trembling spatial rift, his brows tightly furrowed. In his eyes, the area of the spatio-temporal rift was completely occupied by the character “Death”!

Lu Ze didn’t move, and neither did Fu Liang and the others.

That place indeed looked very much like an exit, but if Lu Ze didn’t go, they wouldn’t act rashly!

The limping person walked to the side of the rift, reached out and touched it. Sure enough, his finger passed directly through the rift into another space, and a warm ray of sunlight also shone from the other side of the rift onto his hand.

“It’s real! It’s real! We can get out from here! Hurry! If we don’t come soon, we’ll miss the time to leave!”

After speaking, that person directly plunged into the rift, disappearing silently!

The crowd who had followed rushed forward, scrambling to squeeze themselves into the rift!

In a short while, seven or eight people had left through the rift.

But Lu Ze still just stared, with no intention of moving.

Xiong Lu swallowed, feeling a bit tempted, but still asked, “Should we… should we leave from there?”

Fu Liang and the others all looked at Lu Ze, waiting for his command.

Lu Ze’s lips curved slightly, and an imperceptible white light flashed across his eyes, followed by a chilling voice.

“Why would we go there? To die?”

In Lu Ze’s eyes, these people had abundant Spiritual Qi within them before entering the rift, but after entering the rift, their Spiritual Qi suddenly weakened until it vanished!

There were even a few who, immediately after entering, had their Spiritual Qi explode and dissipate in an instant.

It was clear that beyond this rift, there might be powerful demons waiting for them to deliver themselves!

Moreover, these people died very quickly, so whatever was waiting beyond that rift must be very strong!

“Rumble!—”

Suddenly, a deep rumble of thunder sounded, and white light illuminated the entire sky!

Everyone couldn't help but look up, only to see that the sky, which had originally held the high sun, had changed.

Dark clouds rolled in from afar like a stampede of ten thousand horses, completely obscuring the sun.

In just a few minutes, the sky was already overcast.

The dark clouds continued to press down, seemingly wanting to sink to the bottom and completely crush this space!

Apart from those following Lu Ze, there were still dozens of others who remained here, not having entered the rift.

Many among them had already reached the fifth rank of cultivation, and could vaguely discern some clues. Although it wasn't certain, it was enough to make them exercise extreme caution.

Seeing this celestial phenomenon, these people were also somewhat bewildered!

“Young Master Lu…”

Fu Liang suddenly spoke beside Lu Ze, his voice a bit hoarse, “Am I seeing things, is that, a god?”

A god?

Lu Ze looked at Fu Liang strangely, only to see Fu Liang staring in terror at the dark clouds, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

The others also stared at the dark clouds, their expressions terrified. Tang Chenyi was even so scared that he slumped to the ground, trying to push himself backward with his hands, but he had no strength at all.

Lu Ze looked at the sky, but found nothing. There were only endless layers of dark clouds, overlapping and interacting.

Suddenly!

Fu Liang’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he roared a single word from his throat, “Run!”

The moment the sound fell, Fu Liang mobilized all his strength, enveloped the still- stunned Lu Ze beside him, and violently threw him to one side!

The others also pushed their Spiritual Qi to the limit, scattering in all directions.

“Boom!”

The instant the two flew apart, the ground where they had stood was suddenly shattered, dust rose everywhere, the space trembled incessantly, and ear-piercing explosions echoed!

Fu Liang dared not relax for a moment, he conjured several Talismans and fled dozens of meters away with Lu Ze!

Fu Liang, catching a breath, was drenched in cold sweat, his hand gripping Lu Ze's clothes trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the sky above without blinking.

Lu Ze watched as the dust cleared not far away. The place where they had just stood, within a ten-meter radius, had completely vanished.

Looking up at the sky again, it was still the same; apart from the dark clouds, there was nothing.

What exactly was going on?

Seeing the terrified expressions of Fu Liang and the others, they clearly saw something terrifying, but in Lu Ze's eyes, there was nothing at all!

“Young Master Lu, don’t zone out at a time like this, this is a matter of life and death!”

Fu Liang spoke urgently, but his eyes were still fixed on the sky above, not daring to move even an inch.

As soon as his words fell, Fu Liang shouted, “Xiong Lu, it’s your side, hurry and go!”

“Boom!”

A booming sound rang out again, the space where Xiong Lu had just left was directly crushed, and the ground was completely gone!

A person with fifth-rank cultivation inadvertently glanced at the rift where many people had left earlier, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: “Go to the spatial rift! Get out from there! If we stay here, we will surely be killed!”
