warriors behind him immediately tensed up.Ma Fan's face was cold, his eyes sharp as he stared at the smoke-filled inner courtyard ahead.The intensity of that previous wave of energy is not something...Only then, upon Han Miaoyi's words, did Fang Yu intently observe the expressions of this group of cultivators.
As expected, he saw that a mark was imprinted on the foreheads of all the cultivators who were fighting each other on the martial arts stage!
The outline of the imprint resembled a sprout, with a faint blue glow that flickered in and out.
If you don't pay close attention, it's indeed difficult to see the existence of this mark.
And the mark itself emanated no aura whatsoever.
As Wujian just said, these cultivators on the martial arts stage come from many different factions. It's impossible for them to practice the same cultivation method.
Furthermore, Wuji, who also belongs to the Hundred Sects Alliance, doesn't have this mark on his forehead. That means...this mark isn't a symbol of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Therefore, there is only one possibility.
This mark appeared on these cultivators after they arrived here, even after they ascended the martial platform...
It is highly probable that they suddenly lost their minds and started fighting each other, making them the culprit!
“It seems there’s some kind of restriction on the martial arts stage. Once you step onto it, you’ll be controlled by that mark…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, a golden light flashed in his eyes.
He didn't invoke any rules, but directly opened the Eye of the Great Dao.
At this moment, he saw that there was indeed a clear barrier of the law surrounding the martial arts arena.
Once one passes through the curtain formed by this law, a mark will appear on their forehead. Unknowingly, they will be controlled mentally and lose their reason.
And all these cultivators went onto the martial stage, which means that there may have been some kind of temptation on the martial stage at the beginning.
"We haven't traveled far yet, and so many cultivators have already died..." Wuji's face was pale, unable to speak.
“So, the leader of your alliance seems rather peculiar. Regardless of whether this intel is true or not, offering such a huge temptation to lure members to this place and send them to their deaths willingly, isn't that weakening his own alliance” Fang Yu looked at Wuji and said, “And, is he truly so selfless If there was a genuine Immortal King inheritance, wouldn't he just come secretly and take it for himself Why tell you all about it”
"Even the Alliance Leader... wouldn't find it this easy to obtain the Immortal King's inheritance, right There are so many restrictions and mechanisms here, it's just..." Wuji muttered, his face suddenly changing.
Only then did he realize the reason why the leader had made the intelligence public within the alliance!
In fact, it's the same reason why he had Fang Yu and Han Miaoyin walk ahead of him before!
The leader publicized this intelligence within the alliance, prompting numerous factions to send teams into the tomb. It's highly likely that he intended for these factions to act as his scouts and clear the way for him.
This way, he can avoid all the risks that may exist inside the Immortal King's Tomb!
“So the world is driven by profit. Once you're blinded by greed, your mind goes numb. Look... Your leader has clearly intended to use you as cannon fodder, it's practically an open secret, and yet you've only just realized it now.” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
Mu Jin was speechless, his face ashen.
Indeed, a little thought reveals the mastermind's intentions.
But after that intelligence was made public, all the forces within the alliance rushed out one after another. No one thought too much about it, there wasn't time to think! Everyone was worried about being beaten to the punch by other forces and getting an early advantage.
"Well then, the alliance leader is here too…" Wuji said.
"Of course, judging by the corpses along the way, he's very likely already close to the inheritance of the Immortal King," Fang Yu said. "After all, as long as there are enough cannon fodder, they will inevitably trigger all the dangers and mechanisms, and he can then walk through unimpeded."
"Don't just stand there, slow down. If you keep this pace, you won't even see the dregs of the soup. Let's go." Fang Yu and Han Miao Yi walked forward.
Wujian came back to his senses and hurried after him.
Now, he knows that only by following Fang Yu's steps closely can he maximize his survival!
"Fang, Senior Fang... where are we going next" Wuji ran forward and asked.
“Of course, we'll bypass the martial arts platform and head deeper into the forest. What else could we do” Fang Yu retorted.
Rounding the fighting platform, you can indeed see an entrance that resembles a cave.
Fang Yu and Han Miaoyi, with Wuji in tow, quickly entered the cave.
After the fighting commenced, the group of cultivators on the martial arts platform continued to fight each other relentlessly, refusing to yield until death.
……
At this moment, deeper still, lies a valley-like expanse.
Here, stands a tombstone ten meters high!
This tombstone is unlike ordinary tombstones; it's not made of stone, but rather resembles white jade. Inside, it seems as if some kind of magical energy is surging, with streams of light constantly flickering.
The surface of the tombstone was blank, with no inscriptions whatsoever.
But, it unleashed waves of powerful and ancient magical energy!
The entire valley was shrouded in a powerful aura of oppression.
Apart from this tombstone, there is nothing else in the valley.ahead. 。At the martial arts training ground a hundred meters away, many Yingmen disciples could be seen practicing the use of concealed weapons like throwing knives and darts. 。"It seems your Yingmen...
