Chapter 554 More cunning than a ghost
None of the sects said anything about Ji Bingyan's words.
Actually, they didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
The group headed deeper into the island.
"boom!"
They hadn't gone far when Yuchi Zhenjin unleashed a punch, sending a nearby statue flying!
The statue flew more than ten meters, rolled several times on the ground, and then came to a stop.
"I... I just saw that thing move, and I couldn't help myself..." Yu Chi Zhenjin was a little embarrassed.
After all, Ji Bingyan had just said not to act rashly.
"It's just an inanimate object, don't be so suspicious." Ji Bingyan was somewhat speechless.
Jia Daoshi and his women's army walked at the back of the crowd.
Murong Jiu held Jia Daoshi's hand tightly with her small hand.
"A-Jiu, does your family still have any records of news from the island?"
Murong Jiu's small face showed an expression of trying hard to recall.
"Wait! I think I remember!" Murong Jiu's face showed fear: "I heard my father say that this island is home to many ferocious beasts, and it is full of traps! There are also mechanical beasts! These mechanical beasts are impervious to swords and spears, and are immune to water and fire. Anyone who enters will be killed! Moreover, there is an invincible master who has been sleeping for many years in the Martial God Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi's expression changed: "Really? There are still living people here?"
Murong Jiu's expression was extremely solemn: "That's right, this is an existence who can rival gods with a mortal body! He can fly through the sky and escape into the earth, and is omnipotent!"
Jia Daoshi: "..."
"Ah Jiu, I think you're asking for a beating again, aren't you? Have you been listening to too many stories lately and developed some kind of hysteria!"
"My lord! I've already told you I know nothing about this place, yet you keep asking me. How am I supposed to know?" Murong Jiu cried, her face contorted with misery. She was beginning to regret coming along!
This place is so gloomy and terrifying, I can't like it at all!
"Alright, alright, it's all my husband's fault." After arriving in this world, Jia Daoshi had nine things he couldn't stand.
One of them is Murong Jiu's coquettishness.
In addition, there's Yi Qianxiao's mouth.
Di Qinglin's...
Ji Bingyan's...
……
What happens next is hard to say.
"what happened?"
Ji Bingyan looked puzzled when she saw Jia Daoshi and Murong Jiu muttering to themselves behind her.
"It's alright, let's go." Jia Daoshi shook his head.
The group continued deeper into the island, where the surroundings were desolate, and everyone tried their best to maintain formation.
All the major sects sent their disciples to guard the perimeter. On this unknown and unfamiliar island, everyone was on high alert. After all, compared to the unknown treasures, their own lives were more important.
To better dispel the thick fog, with the help of the fireworks faction, everyone carried a torch.
Sometimes, when they encounter dead wood, the fireworks enthusiasts will pour kerosene on it to let the wood exert its last bit of heat.
As a result, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated as the temperature rose.
The main reason is that there is no sunshine at all.
If there is sunlight, the fog will dissipate quickly.
"Master Ke, do you have any of those fireballs that can be detonated? Could you give me a few?"
Huang Yaoshi suddenly said.
"Yes! I did bring quite a few of these with me!" Master Ke nodded and pulled out a few oil bombs from his pocket.
This Master Ke, whose real name is Ke Zhenhai, is the leading figure of the Fireworks School.
Huang Yaoshi took the explosive tags and threw one to the left and one to the right!
"burst!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two loud explosions rang out, startling everyone!
"Huang Yaoshi! What are you doing!" Zhao Wuji's old face turned deathly pale!
"Huang Yaoshi, your reckless behavior will endanger us!" Feng Mo's expression was also very displeased.
"Old Huang, why do you do this? Do you want to put me in danger?" Wen Qing's pretty face was icy cold.
Although the vice leader of the Violet Holy Sect is over forty years old, he is very well-maintained and looks no more than twenty years old.
Of course, this is also related to the martial arts she practiced.
The expressions of the people from all the major factions and families changed.
When they came to the Temple of Martial God, they weren't actually too worried about the dangers on the island; what they were most worried about was the imperial court's forces.
If they were to launch a sneak attack, they couldn't guarantee they would be safe!
Huang Yaoshi shrugged at the wary crowd and said, "I've already told you this is a very dangerous place. Do you really think you can find the treasure hidden by the founding emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty without any trouble? If there is danger on this island, it's better to lure it out directly rather than let it hide in the shadows. I think you all understand this principle."
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly: "Ridiculous! If we could sneak over, we might be able to avoid these dangers!"
Fei Yan's voice was icy: "If you're so afraid of death, why come here to suffer?"
Zhao Wuji: "You!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Zhou Botong laughed heartily and said, "Gentlemen, what Jia Tisi said makes sense! I think he's absolutely right! It's always better to actively resolve dangers than to be ambushed by them, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, people from various sects and families in the martial arts world frowned.
That makes sense.
So they didn't stop them after that.
Huang Yaoshi would occasionally cause some kind of disturbance.
It seems they are testing whether there is any danger on the island.
Jia Daoshi saw this and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Actually, this kind of behavior is really unnecessary!
This place was, after all, built by the founding emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty in search of the legendary fairy.
There are definitely dangers, but not so many that they're everywhere.
The behavior of Huang Yaoshi and his group was far too deliberate.
If there is any unknown danger, it will only bring unnecessary trouble.
“These people are all seasoned veterans, shrewder than ghosts. They wouldn’t do something they know better,” Jia Daoshi guessed to himself. “Perhaps they have other motives for doing this.”
The people the Empress chose this time must have been carefully considered. How could someone who represents a court be a simple person?
If Huang Yaoshi was the only one who did this, then perhaps the old man was just confused for a moment.
But if even Fei Yan and Yu Chi Zhen Jin are the same, then there's something wrong here!
Jia Daoshi saw through it but didn't say anything.
He had nothing to do with the people in the imperial court or these martial arts families.
His main purpose in coming here was to help Murong Jiu retrieve her family's belongings.
If there are any treasures in the Martial God Hall, they must belong to the Murong family!
They walked forward like that for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and nothing happened!
Everything was calm and peaceful.
As a result, everyone's anxiety gradually subsided.
And just then, something finally changed!
"Look, what's that?" Feng Shengxue exclaimed, pointing in a direction.
