181: The three giants have arrived!
“What? Guo Feng went to the Forbidden Land?!”
Sima Hui's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became even sharper.
Sima Yun Shen sighed, “Alas, Guo Feng is just too naughty! I reminded him to stay in the courtyard, but he just wouldn't listen!”
Old Ancestor Wu sneered, “Who can he blame for courting death?”
Old Ancestor Zhao also said indifferently, “With his strength, going to the Forbidden Land is a dead end. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, and the grievances are settled.”
“That's not necessarily true!”
Li Chi's eyes narrowed, “Although I've heard rumors about your Shu Province Holy Land's Forbidden Land, it's said to be the ruins of a powerful ancient sect, controlled by Ancient Undead.”
“The stronger one is when entering the Forbidden Land, the stronger the attacks and trials they face.”
“The more people there are, the more attacks and trials there are.”
“But!”
He changed the subject, “Guo Feng is no ordinary person, and he cannot die. Therefore, I must go to your Forbidden Land!”
“We'll go together!”
Minister Wang De of the Military Department nodded indifferently.
Sima Hui also said, “I naturally have to go.”
“Nonsense!”
Old Ancestor Wu was furious, “Do you think this is a wet market? You can just enter whenever you want?”
Old Ancestor Zhao also said faintly, “Everyone, this is the Forbidden Land of our Shu Province Holy Land, how can outsiders just casually step into it?”
Wang De's eyes sharpened, “I respect customs, but in our country, human life comes first. Not to mention Guo Feng, even if any citizen is in danger, our Military Department will overcome all difficulties and obstacles to save them!”
He looked at Old Ancestor Wu and Old Ancestor Zhao, “Saving lives comes first, no arguments allowed!”
“I agree with Minister Wang!”
Li Chi immediately nodded.
Sima Hui also said, “Human life is paramount, this is the foundation of our country! I hope the two elders understand that this world belongs to the people! Obeying national law is the duty of every citizen!”
These three giants spoke with sharp words.
Old Ancestor Wu and Old Ancestor Zhao, although both were powerhouses at level sixty-something, were suppressed to the point of holding their breath.
If it were just Sima Hui, they could still suppress him with their seniority.
But who knew that a mere Guo Feng would attract three giants!
Sima Yun Shen also frowned.
Things seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
However, he still quickly smiled and said, “What the three of you said is true, but the Ancient Forbidden Land is unpredictable and mysterious!”
“The three of you hold high positions and have a great influence.”
“If something were to happen to you here, what should we do?”
His words hit the crucial point.
“Yuchi Zhan!”
Wang De shouted loudly.
“Here!”
Yuchi Zhan quickly stepped forward.
Wang De said, “Guo Feng's matter concerns the foundation of the nation. The three of us risking our lives is purely voluntary. As the Deputy Minister of the Military Department, you are a witness here. If anything happens to the three of us, it has nothing to do with the Shu Province Holy Land!”
“Yes!”
Yuchi Zhan answered loudly.
Then, Wang De looked at Sima Yun Shen, “Patriarch Sima, lead the way!”
“Since that's the case…”
Sima Yun Shen couldn't help but look at Old Ancestor Zhao and Old Ancestor Wu.
Old Ancestor Wu frowned, he was very displeased, but the other party's aura was pressing.
He also had no choice, “Then I shall accompany the three of you on this trip!”
Old Ancestor Zhao also said, “This Ancient Forbidden Land, though very powerful, probably can't trap the five of us, let's go together!”
Sima Yun Shen couldn't help but frown secretly when he heard this.
This was even more different from his plan!
Indeed, as Old Ancestor Zhao said, this group of five, together, could probably go anywhere, heaven or earth!
What if these five broke through this Ancient Forbidden Land and took all the benefits?
He quickly said, “I'll go too!”
“I'm going too!”
“Let's go together!”
Wu Zi Tong and Zhao An Hua also quickly said.
Finally, their group headed to the Forbidden Land, eight of them entered, while Yuchi Zhan and others remained outside to provide support.
Sima Hui and the crew were shocked as soon as they entered the Forbidden Land.
A ground full of spiritual beast corpses!
“This, how is this possible?”
Sima Yun Shen exclaimed, “The first trial of the Forbidden Land is for one person to face thousands of spiritual beasts of the same level. Guo Feng, alone, killed all the spiritual beasts?!”
“Look at those stairs, isn't that Guo Feng?!”
Wu Zi Tong also exclaimed, quickly pointing to the front of the barrier and asking.
Everyone quickly looked and indeed saw Guo Feng walking up step by step with difficulty!
“He, he, he can still walk the Heavenly Ladder after killing a thousand spiritual beasts?!”
Zhao An Hua's face was filled with shock!
Sima Hui frowned, “Guo Feng doesn't know that there are two ways to leave the Forbidden Land.”
“One, those with the Forbidden Land Token can summon an exit.”
“Two, after killing all the spiritual beasts in the first trial, an exit appears in place.”
“He must think that the way to leave is the green light above the Heavenly Ladder!”
“For so many years in our Holy Land, besides the Second Generation Old Ancestor who ascended the Heavenly Ladder, no one else has.”
“Moreover, the Second Generation Old Ancestor died on the Heavenly Ladder!”
“No one knows what that green light is!”
His expression grew heavier.
“Can't we save him?”
Li Chi asked.
“I don't know, in the history of our Holy Land, only the Second Generation Old Ancestor passed the first trial.”
Sima Hui shook his head.
“Let's try. Guo Feng's matter is of great importance. If he were to fall midway, it would be a huge loss for our country!”
Li Chi said.
“He still has three bottles of ancient corpses' essence blood on him!” Sima Hui added.
“Then let's make our move!”
The top three powerhouses in this world said as they walked towards the barrier.
However, before they even got close to the barrier.
A terrifying force surged from the barrier, shaking all three of them back more than ten steps.
“Hm?!”
Everyone was greatly alarmed!
The three of them, unconvinced, tried a few more times, and the shockwave grew stronger each time.
“No, someone is warning us!”
“Ancient Undead!”
“What sect does this Ancient Forbidden Land belong to? The three of us can't even get close?”
The three of them exchanged glances, filled with shock!
What was even more shocking, however, were the others.
Because they knew how formidable Sima Hui and the other two were!
“We can only rely on Guo Feng himself…”
Sima Hui, with great difficulty, suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body, his brows tightly furrowed.
These few recent tremors were more pressure than when he fought five level sixty powerhouses alone!
He knew then that forcing their way in was impossible.
“Then we can only provide support from here!”
Li Chi also frowned tightly.
At this moment, Guo Feng had no idea what was happening behind him. He only felt as if he was about to explode.
Unprecedented fatigue!
“I've only walked three thousand two hundred and twelve steps, with over one thousand seven hundred steps left, and I'm already about to give up!”
“No!”
“Even if I can't hold on, I must!”
“I have an advantage over others; as long as I persevere, I can immediately take a repair spirit fruit, and there will be no damage!”
“No turning back, only forward!”
Countless thoughts of giving up emerged in Guo Feng's mind, but he tried his best to convince himself otherwise.
Gritting his teeth, he continued!
Step by step, he continued upwards!
Each step was like a normal person carrying a hundred pounds.
He heard his heart pounding like a drum.
Four thousand steps!
Four thousand five hundred steps!
Four thousand seven hundred steps!
“I can't do it, I really can't. 'A hundred-mile journey is half ninety' truly doesn't deceive me!”
“My body has reached its limit!”
“Only extremely special people can probably ascend these five thousand-plus stone steps!”
“I can only take a risk!”
Guo Feng already felt like he was going to die, truly going to die, going to be exhausted to death!
He could only grit his teeth, use all his strength, and activate Instant Movement to rush up the steps.
At the same time, he instantly took a repair spirit fruit!
This was his only chance!
“Instant Movement!”
“Activate!”
He gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and activated Instant Movement…
