187: Chapter 187 The more anxious it is, the more it proves that our choice was right!

As this series of thoughts arose, Tian Cai felt a chill run down his spine.

Previously, he hadn't thought in this direction at all.

But that one sentence from Song Yiqing, coupled with the tone in his words, had silently led him to think about it in detail.

Suddenly, Tian Cai felt a sense of realization.

"So, it was this environment that influenced me!! If I stubbornly believe that what I calculated is the absolute truth, then it will bring despair to everyone!! This is a subtle conspiracy!"

Suddenly, Tian Cai whipped his head around to look at Song Yiqing. He knew Song Yiqing knew Feng Shui Art, but the other party certainly wouldn't be too proficient in the profound Heavenly Divination.

Yet even so, he had still managed to easily see through this conspiracy.

Previously, Tian Cai had merely felt that Song Yiqing was that one-in-ten-million fuse.

But now, thinking back carefully, things were completely different. Perhaps he truly was the opportunity itself.

Gradually, he began to collect his thoughts, and at the same time, he smiled.

"Hehehe, put that way, it really is..."

"Look! Look! You scared Lord Pang!" Lord Pang raised his hand to pat his little heart.

"That's why I'm saying! When it comes to professionalism, it has to be our Lord Song. Little Daoist, you should learn a thing or two!"

"I'm sixty!" Tian Cai replied with a sullen face.

After hearing his words, Lord Pang gradually revealed an expression of astonishment and disbelief.

"Ah??? Sixty??" Then he suddenly jumped back and pulled out his big machete.

"Lord Song, this guy has a problem!!"

"Alright, alright, sit down." Song Yiqing waved his hand, signaling Lord Pang to sit down quickly. He naturally knew that Lord Pang was deliberately trying to liven up the atmosphere, wanting to use this to ease everyone's tense emotions.

However, time was still very important right now.

The monsters that he hadn't sensed coming before had already started to move; they were as if they had received some kind of order.

Then, Song Yiqing looked at Wang Yao. "Tell me, how did you die?"

"I... I..." When Wang Yao heard these words, a subtle look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.

Wang Shan, who was on the side, saw this scene and said somewhat unbearably, "Lord Song, do you really have to ask?"

"I must," Song Yiqing nodded heavily. "Recalling the process of death will be painful, but as Tian Cai said, this is part of the plan. Wang Yao appearing here is for the smooth advancement of the plan."

"?" Tian Cai immediately felt two hateful gazes. In his heart, he was already cursing Song Yiqing to death.

You can say what you want, but why drag me out to be paraded around again?? That's too much!

Wang Yao then said, "That's right. The opportunity and the plan deduced by Tian Cai at the cost of his lifespan have already begun, so there's no reason to stop. Besides, I have long since died; I should contribute some remaining value."

"Dad..." Wang Shan secretly wiped away a tear and then said, "I support you."

"Hmm," Wang Yao nodded slightly.

Then, he began to recall some things that happened after entering this place.

He focused on recounting some of the details of his death at the time. However, recalling death was equivalent to dying once again, and the damage to the remnant soul was irreversible.

After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, because the situation Wang Yao described was too bizarre.

"So..." Song Yiqing was the first to recover and the first to speak. "According to what you said, you were already at the point of death, but at that moment, a slime appeared?"

"Yes," Wang Yao nodded heavily. "I don't know how to describe that thing; it was just extremely bizarre. If I had to describe it, it looked very similar to a slime—it was just a blob of liquid, yet it possessed living characteristics.

From that moment on, my remnant soul came out, and then I could only watch helplessly as my body continued to kill under the influence of a strange force, as if someone else was controlling me."

"It is very bizarre," Song Yiqing nodded slightly. "When I was performing the Corpse Driving Technique, I didn't find anything special about your body; it wasn't much different from an ordinary corpse. It was just that before performing it, you gave people a very strange feeling."

Speaking to this point, he suggested, "Think back carefully again. Before you fought that monster and were on the verge of death, where had you been? Was there anything particularly worth noting?"

"Particularly worth noting..." Wang Yao muttered, then said, "There was a small mountain peak."

"A mountain peak? What's strange about a mountain peak?" Song Yiqing asked suspiciously. "Tell me about it."

"I don't know," Wang Yao shook his head slightly. "I have memories of other places, but only this small mountain peak—I can't remember it at all. It's as if... something is erasing it!"

"..." Song Yiqing slowly sat up straight, his eyes narrowing slightly, because just after Wang Yao said this, the monsters lurking all around had already begun to speed up.

"It seems we were right," Song Yiqing said, slowly standing up and brushing the dust off his body. "Let's go!"

"Where to?" Lord Pang looked up at him in surprise, and then Song Yiqing said, "Naturally, to the small mountain peak. All the answers should be able to be resolved there."

"Ah?? Why?? Lord Song? What's the principle behind this?" Lord Pang was still full of incomprehension.

However, Song Yiqing smiled. "Just as I said, when we choose the correct path, the Forbidden Area will get anxious. The more anxious it gets, the more it proves our choice is correct!"

As his voice fell, Bang!!! The roof was instantly shattered by the sharp claws of a flying bird.

"Giao————" A sharp, piercing roar tore through the place.

Then, the falcon was about to swoop down. Song Yiqing waved one hand, and six Flying Swords were instantly released.

Shiu shiu shiu———— The six swords instantly set up the Wuliang Sword Array, and at this moment, Song Yiqing flicked his arm, and a massive sword aura slashed out accordingly. Nine Songs Sword Manual!!

Boom!! With one strike, Song Yiqing immediately roared, "Go!! Quick!! Quick!!"

Everyone present dared not delay. As the monsters closed in, even Lin Tianyi, Lord Pang, and the others could already feel those terrifying auras.

"This path is really right!! Really right!!" Lord Pang was shouting, but suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing outside the room...
