571: Cause and effect

Above the Questing Life Divination Plate, a faint mist swirled, concealing all the writing within.

At first glance, one seemed to be able to see the writing and the obscure, difficult-to-understand patterns and runes within the Questing Life Divination Plate.

Upon closer inspection, however, it became hazy and confusing, showing only clouds and mist.

[Questing Life Divination Plate]: Break the death trap, Seek Life Paths, see the path of death, cross life.

Note: Includes accompanying divination method "Seek Life Paths". The Questing Life Divination Plate originates from the Great Yong Continent, Netherworld.

This was the item Zhang Tongqian acquired by taking and completing missions at the School, accumulating academic credits.

It cost him a full 50 academic credits, some of which he even borrowed from classmates!

And this item was truly Heaven-Defying.

The four phrases above represent the Questing Life Divination Plate's four different abilities.

Breaking the death trap and seeking life paths are primarily abilities to escape from a certain place; the two phrases represent two situations, but generally speaking, they are the same form.

Seeing the path of death means one can use the Questing Life Divination Plate to see the death Karma threatening oneself!

Of course, it is only seeing it.

To stop it, one can only use the last ability, crossing life!

This ability is actually quite malicious.

Its main purpose is to transfer the death Karma locked onto oneself to other normal Humans, letting others bear this death Karma!

And at this moment, what Zhang Tongqian needed to use was this last ability!

Crossing life can transfer one's own death Karma to others, and can also move the death Karma on others to oneself.

Clearly, what Zhang Tongqian wanted to do was the latter; he wanted to transfer the great ill omen resting upon his grandson to himself!

Holding the Questing Life Divination Plate, the spiritual energy on Zhang Tongqian's body began to rise.

Putting aside divination methods, he himself was also a Qi Refining fourth level existence.

His aged fingers smoothed and tapped on the Questing Life Divination Plate, and profound power instantly spread out.

That karmic power was infinitely more formidable than changing aura or misleading traps.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy poured into the Questing Life Divination Plate...

"Buzz~"

In an instant, the ground in this forest began to tremble.

A vast and illusory Questing Life Divination Plate, spanning over ten meters, revealed dazzling brilliance as it lifted layers of mist!

And within this dazzling brilliance, beneath this area, a striking, pitch-black karmic line was extremely conspicuous!

Looking at the direction this karmic line extended, it was precisely the direction Xiao Yuanliang and the Wei Shi Alliance members had left together.

"Move!" Staring intently at this line, Zhang Tongqian didn't hesitate for a moment, shouting with a firm tone!

"Buzz buzz buzz~" The Questing Life Divination Plate in mid-air began to spin intensely.

Accompanying the Questing Life Divination Plate's rotation, this pitch-black death line seemed to be constantly tautened and pulled.

Until finally, it suddenly snapped and disappeared!

But it was also in the next moment after this black line snapped and disappeared that the karmic power gathered there condensed into a new death karmic line!

And then, it connected directly to Zhang Tongqian's body!

Having done all this, Zhang Tongqian was significantly depleted.

His face a little pale, he swayed slightly.

Glancing once more at this scorched land, the Old Man didn't linger, quickly heading towards the edge of the forest!

Having taken the death Karma onto himself, it meant that soon after, that Beast General would also change its predetermined target and chase after him!

Under such circumstances, he naturally had to leave here as quickly as possible!

At least, if he escaped to a Humans City, his safety would be greatly guaranteed.

And returning to the School would be considered a complete breaking of the situation!

Between the mountain ranges.

Xiao Yuanliang and the others had already been heading into the mountains for quite a while.

They understood the approximate location of the different World passage, so their journey was all towards that direction.

And along the way, for some reason, Zhang Shan suddenly felt a slight release in his heart.

It was as if a rope around his neck had suddenly snapped, allowing him to exhale deeply for no reason.

And the people around him had the same feeling.

Even some of their cautious traveling steps had unknowingly slowed down considerably.

Xiao Yuanliang, on the other hand, frowned and looked towards the place where they had previously killed the three Dragon heads.

He had just... seemed to see a flicker of light.

With his [Sword of Space] talent, he could even sense an indescribably powerful force through the spatial fluctuations over there!

Was there someone over there? Or an different Beast?

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a fierce roar exploded violently from the depths of the forest!

Causing the hearts of these Wei Shi Alliance members to suddenly contract, their gazes extremely solemn as they looked towards where the roar erupted.

"It's a Beast General, and not an ordinary one!"

Xiao Yuanliang spoke rapidly, and as he spoke, he signaled everyone to conceal themselves.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the distant forest, clear sounds of earth and rock cracking erupted.

Accompanying this was the noise of large branches and trees being broken.

Amidst such immense noise, the terrifying Beast General Xiao Yuanliang mentioned had already rushed towards a more distant direction.

The seven Wei Shi Alliance members lying prone held their breath, their gazes fixed on the direction from which the sound faded.

"This Beast General is going to the place where we just fought the different Beast!" Hong Wu said solemnly.

"He won't track us by scent and chase us, will he?" someone in the crowd asked uneasily.

Xiao Yuanliang's gaze was solemn, and he was also a little silent.

Although he had only seen it briefly just now, he recognized this type of different Beast.

Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon!

A mid-tier Beast General with a rare Bloodline!

After a month of Cultivation, Xiao Yuanliang's strength had risen by a level, reaching the peak of the third-tier mid-stage.

But with such strength, there was no possibility of confronting that Blue Flame Tyrant Dragon at all!

Even adding these Wei Shi Alliance members beside him, there was a high probability of having no room to resist.

And this type of different Beast has extremely sensitive olfaction.

Once it reached the place where the three patrol Dragon heads died, it would definitely be able to scent their approximate direction and chase after them!

"This place has a mid-tier Beast General stationed here, let's leave first."

"We'll find other different Beast strongholds to act on later."

Xiao Yuanliang lightly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said to the members before him.

If he were alone, he might still go towards the direction of the spatial tunnel by himself to investigate the specific situation.

But now, he was leading these King-level Humans elites who had not yet fully grown.

If even one were lost, in the time to come, Humans all over the World would face an additional heavy pressure!

Everything is still prioritizing everyone's safety.

"It's over just like that?" Li Hong, carrying a large backpack of wilderness survival gear and dry food, expressed his incomprehension.

"A mid-tier Beast General has appeared, otherwise are you going to pitch a tent and sleep here?" Xiao Bai beside him emphasized the mid-tier Beast General.

That's right, that was a mid-tier Beast General, and even one with a rare Bloodline!

Such an different Beast was not something they could contend with now.

Li Hong also understood this point and said nothing more.

"This trip wasn't without gains; these things are enough for us to digest for a while." Xiao Yuanliang patted the two bags of Dragon heart blood.

Hearing his words, the moods of the others also improved slightly.

No matter what, it counted as having this guaranteed gain.

"Then how do we leave here? Go back the way we came?" Zhang Shan looked at Xiao Yuanliang at this moment.

Regarding this, Xiao Yuanliang pondered slightly: "Let's wait. We'll leave after that Beast General goes back."

"Right now, the other party is outside, and we might be spotted if we go there."

"If the other party tracks us by scent and finds us here, remember to leave immediately when that happens; I'll block it!" Xiao Yuanliang said to these members with a plan in mind.

"I'll also stay and block the Beast General with you." Zhang Shan spoke resolutely, then added: "I'm a second-tier talent user, the strongest one besides you, and I won't hold you back!"
