449 Ghostly Mystic Realm
Jiang Ming arrived outside the secret room and soon saw a large group of people fleeing frantically.
Holy Son Gu Chi frowned.
“What happened? Why are you all fleeing?”
He grabbed a person, and his angry roar made that person shudder. However, what was even more terrifying was that the person who was grabbed turned into a pool of blood in an instant, causing many people’s scalps to go numb.
What was going on?
Soon, they caught a few more people. However, every time someone wanted to say the reason, they inexplicably turned into a pool of blood.
It was as if there was a strange invisible force affecting everything.
For a moment, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
“There’s a problem with the laws here! It’s a ghostly mystic realm”
This time, Rao Wuqing’s expression was extremely gloomy.
When Jiang Ming heard this, he could not help but frown slightly.
He had been tricked!
This was not the Land of Heritage of the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord at all. It was a strange mystic realm that used the Land of Heritage of the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord as a front to attract countless outside immortal cultivation!
“A ghostly mystic realm? Even though I’ve long heard of the ghostly mystic realms, this is the first time I’ve entered one after so many years… Gu Chi, be careful. This place is very strange. If you’re not careful, you might die!” Rao Wuqing said in a low voice.
In this place, unless one was powerful enough to resist the power of the laws here, it was impossible to survive.
Gu Chi nodded. His expression became increasingly gloomy, and he did not know what to say for a while.
After a while, he suddenly noticed something and looked at Jiang Ming beside him. He was a little surprised, not because of anything else, but because Jiang Ming looked calm at the moment, as if he was not scared by those tragic deaths from the beginning to the end.
“Ning Caichen, do you have any countermeasures?”
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know how to deal with this. This is my first time entering a ghostly mystic realm… I didn’t expect the laws here to be so powerful. The immortal cultivators haven’t even started to violate the laws. Just thinking about it can kill you. I think we should be careful. Why don’t we retreat…”
F*ck!
Gu Chi and the others also noticed this and revealed puzzled expressions. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was normal. After all, there were too many strange things here. The disappearance of a secret room did not seem to be a big deal.
However, Jiang Ming had observed the surrounding environment, and he noticed that when they walked out, it was completely different from the environment he saw earlier.
There must be something extremely strange about this.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming could not help but suck in a few breaths of cold air. He looked at the crowd and only heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that Wu Hen, Ying Sha, and the others were all there.
“No! The things we took out from the secret room turned into ashes!”
Many people exclaimed in shock. Gu Chi also lowered his head to take a look and realized that the ancient sword in his hand had actually turned into a pile of ashes.
“F*ck! There are too many oddities in this secret room! I want to leave this place now!” A bald, burly man immediately wanted to leave. However, in the next second, he turned into ashes and scattered all over the ground. Many people around him trembled and immediately jumped to the back.
The situation was getting worse!
For a moment, everyone stood on the spot with their bodies and minds extremely tense. They did not dare move at all.
Gu Chi swept his gaze across the crowd and pointed at a few people.
“You guys go and scout the way!”
Their expressions changed drastically.
“Holy Son, our strength is weak and we’re not enough to explore the path ahead. You’d better find someone else!”
“That’s right, Holy Son. We’ll definitely find nothing if we go and investigate. We’ll only waste your precious time. You should go first!”
How could these people dare go and investigate? They were afraid that they would also turn into a pile of ashes.
However, Holy Son Gu Chi sneered and signaled for one of his sect experts to capture these individual cultivators. Of course, two of them were from a certain sect.
“Ahhhh! Help! Great Elder, help!”
The cultivators of a certain sect began to cry out for help. However, no one dared answer. Otherwise, they would be going against Holy Son Gu Chi.
Who would have the guts to do that?
Whoosh!
After the immortal cultivators were thrown far away, the experts from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land immediately got into formation.
“You either continue to advance or die!”
With a glance from these experts, the immortal cultivators, who had been crying, immediately did not dare make any noise and immediately began to explore.
There might be a way out if they advanced. However, if they retreated, they would definitely die. After all, the people of these sects had always been arrogant and despotic. They did not care about the lives of other cultivators at all.
Jiang Ming did not care about the lives of these people. However, he found that the laws here seemed to have undergone a series of changes.
“Could it be that once someone dies, it will invisibly replenish the strength of the laws’ energy here? It’s terrible. The power of the ghostly mystic realm can continue to rise, and we are isolated from all the spiritual energy here. We have no chance to replenish our spiritual energy or mana, so we are doomed!” Jiang Ming spoke slowly, causing Holy Son Gu Chi’s expression to change.
He looked around and felt the power of the laws in the ghostly mystic realm. He could not help but suck in cold air. Indeed, the power here seemed to be increasing.
Moreover, there was a possibility that it would continue to rise!
“It’s indeed as you said. We’re currently in a stalemate… What do you think we should do?”
Holy Son Gu Chi was not panicking. The spirit stones they had were enough to push a half-step Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to the peak of the next realm.
Even if they used up their spiritual energy and mana again and again, they could still persist for several years.
However, the problem was that if they could not get out, they would be trapped here sooner or later. No matter how many spirit stones they had, it would not help!
“Other than that, the ghostly mystic realm is different from other places. The enemies here are laws. Even if we use all our strength, we won’t be able to defeat them unless we solve all the mysteries here!”
Rao Wuqing’s face was equally gloomy.
They would rather enter the forbidden zone than encounter these so-called mysteries.
This was simply a hopeless situation!
However, although Jiang Ming appeared to be panicking, he was not. After all, he came from the mortal world. In that world, even people without any spiritual energy knew about the laws!
Therefore, it was just a game of wits for him!
