108: Killing and stealing treasure, miscalculation

Because there were so many people, they couldn't rush through all at once.

So, they advanced in small groups, assisting each other.

No danger occurred.

Eventually, everyone reached the center of the pillars.

This made the Elder who went first feel a bit displeased.

Everyone wandered around the pillars for a few turns, hoping to find some useful clues, but unfortunately, nothing was found.

There were no stone gates or anything similar around, which meant that besides this place, they couldn't go anywhere else.

Was there nothing here?

Disappointment filled everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, Haitang looked up at the pillar and said, "There might be something on top of the pillar.

"I'll go up and take a look."

As he said this, he moved, but only made a motion of flying upwards, without actually moving.

And the moment he made that motion, several people were already a step faster than him, flying onto the stone pillars.

Among them, four people were the fastest.

The four stood one on each stone pillar.

The moment they stood on top, the stone pillars suddenly trembled slightly.

Subsequently, the entire floor also trembled and sank.

Everyone felt as if the entire hall was rotating.

They watched helplessly as the surrounding stone walls began to rotate and shift positions continuously.

Within a few breaths, the stone slabs rose, and the pillars sank downwards.

Finally, the pillars disappeared into the ground, and the scene before them changed.

The patterns from before had now transformed into numerous stone gates.

Everyone could clearly see the seams on the stone gates.

Initially, they didn't know these were stone gates; they thought they were walls made of stacked stones.

However, someone noticed a line of text written on a stone wall not far away: 'Eight Hundred Divine Gates, Infinitely Mysterious.'

"There must be countless Treasures within these Divine Gates."

"Eight Hundred Divine Gates, and we are not even a hundred people in total."

"This time, everyone won't have to fight over them."

A strong cultivator laughed heartily and flew towards one of the larger Divine Gates.

The others exchanged glances and also entered the Divine Gates.

Some went in pairs, while others entered alone.

Yang Yi was not in a hurry to enter; instead, he continued to observe his surroundings.

Looking at the Divine Gates of varying sizes, he fell into deep thought.

Recalling the various patterns on the Divine Gates earlier, Yang Yi felt that the Divine Gates might have some connection to the patterns.

At this time, most of the people in the hall had already left.

Only a few remained.

Besides Yang Yi, there were Haitang, Yue Lingxin, and Leng Yueshuang.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Yue Lingxin asked Yang Yi.

Yang Yi thought to himself, 'If you're not leaving, of course I'm not leaving.'

But he said something else aloud, "I want to observe a bit longer."

"Observe what?" Yue Lingxin blinked her beautiful eyes, looking up at Yang Yi with great curiosity.

Yang Yi expressed his thoughts.

Hearing that the Divine Gates were related to the patterns from before, several people couldn't help but recall the patterns they had seen.

They had already forgotten most of the patterns.

Yue Lingxin impatiently rubbed her temples with both hands.

"Don't think about it anymore."

"Can you even remember so many patterns clearly?"

"It's better to go in and find out."

"If we don't go in soon, everything inside will be snatched up."

Yang Yi smiled slightly, not in a hurry.

"What if there are no Treasures inside, but countless dangers instead?"

At these words, Yue Lingxin was stunned.

There was indeed some truth to what he said.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Yang Yi stroked his chin and sat down cross-legged.

"I've consumed a lot of vital Qi just now.

"I need to rest."

"Let's wait for others to come out and see what they've gained."

Yue Lingxin stamped her foot in exasperation.

"How long will we have to wait?"

"What if there really are Treasures inside?"

"Wouldn't we be a step behind everyone else?"

Leng Yueshuang said coldly from the side, "Not at all late."

"Even if we don't go in, it's not certain whose hands the Treasures will eventually fall into."

Yang Yi and Haitang nodded simultaneously.

What she said was absolutely correct.

Even if there were Treasures inside, there would likely be danger.

It was not easy to obtain the Treasures.

Even if they could get the Treasures out, leaving would not be so simple.

There would inevitably be another battle then.

Whoever could walk out of Purple River Valley would be the ultimate victor.

There was no need to rush at the moment.

Yue Lingxin, usually so clever, was a bit confused now.

She hadn't thought of the crucial point and kept urging the others to go in quickly.

These three, however, were not in a hurry at all.

Haitang and Leng Yueshuang mimicked Yang Yi, sitting cross-legged.

Yue Lingxin really couldn't wait any longer.

She said, "I'm going in first," and entered one of the Divine Gates.

Watching Yue Lingxin leave, Leng Yueshuang frowned slightly, then sighed.

Worried about her safety, she also entered the same Divine Gate Yue Lingxin had entered.

At this moment, only Yang Yi and Haitang remained in the hall.

"What should we do?" Haitang asked with a calm smile, unhurried.

Yang Yi suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Whatever.

"If you want to go in, you can go ahead.

"I plan to wait a bit longer."

"Are you sure?" Haitang gazed at Yang Yi with a suspicious look.

Yang Yi spread his arms, revealing a slight, crooked smile.

"I personally hope you go in."

Haitang trembled slightly, frowned, and stared at Yang Yi for a moment.

He vaguely guessed Yang Yi's objective.

He thought Yang Yi might want to kill people and seize their Treasures.

As long as someone came out, he would snatch their belongings.

While this could be done, it was too dangerous.

It would be better for them to cooperate, as one person's strength was limited, and two people cooperating would have greater strength.

Even if they faced strong opponents, they could still kill them.

However, Yang Yi had already said he wanted him to go in.

Ultimately, he could only nod helplessly, telling Yang Yi to be extra careful, and entered the Divine Gate.

After Haitang entered the Divine Gate, Yang Yi looked around, feeling a bit eager.

He also wanted to enter the Divine Gate to find out what was inside.

However, just as Haitang had thought, he indeed had a slight idea of killing people and seizing their Treasures.

In his opinion, if someone who entered the Divine Gate came out, they should be somewhat injured.

Wouldn't it be easy for him to strike while they were down?

Yang Yi waited for about an hour.

Suddenly, a person rushed out from one of the Divine Gates and landed gracefully in front of Yang Yi.

He was unharmed and held two precious swords in his hands.

The moment he saw Yang Yi, he immediately stared at him vigilantly, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

His energy suddenly burst forth.

Before Yang Yi could act, the man had already brandished his two swords and attacked Yang Yi.

These two precious swords were obtained by him within the Divine Gate, and their power was quite impressive.

With a light swing of the two swords, two black and white sword lights burst forth.
