Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Arrival at the Forbidden Area!

"Let’s follow and take a look. Since someone has taken a detour here, there might still be something to gain!"

Liu Ruyan didn’t ask about Lu Chen’s whereabouts for the time being and naturally was willing to come for treasure hunting. If someone else was clearing the path for them, that would be all the better.

"Yes, senior sister!"

Several Qi Refinement female cultivators continued to lower their footsteps cautiously, following the traces on the ground.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen and his party were unaware and continued on their way.

After dozens of miles, they finally emerged from the dense forest to a land of grotesque rocks.

"Senior, it’s right here. You can take out the Night Spirit Pearl and have a look!"

Chen Tanzhi slightly bowed his head; he knew that Lu Chen was a cultivator, but Lu Chen was able to walk freely in the Tianyuan by means of a cultivator’s arts, not by his vision.

As he bowed his head, the fleeting madness in his eyes did not escape Lu Chen’s sight!

"Didn’t you say the Night Spirit Pearl is the key to opening the forbidden land? We haven’t found the keyhole yet, so why take it out now?"

Lu Chen deliberately said so.

"Senior, this humble one hasn’t been here for many years and is a bit unclear on which rock the keyhole is on."

Chen Tanzhi replied, and also began to doubt in his heart. Could it be that Lu Chen was suspicious?

But without the Night Spirit Pearl, they also needed light to find the place to set the pearl.

Previously, they had lit torches, which allowed them to see a round hole. After measuring its size, they remembered it.

However, at that time, they had also intruded into the forbidden land.

Forced entry without the key naturally triggered many of the mechanisms within the forbidden land.

On that occasion, they suffered heavy losses, with countless Martial Artists of the Soul Refinement Realm falling there, not to mention the even more numerous lower-level Martial Artists!

What pained them the most were the countless exotic flowers and rare herbs that they could only watch from a distance and not harvest.

"Alright, then you go ahead and look for it."

Lu Chen took out the Night Spirit Pearl, which brightened the surroundings considerably, though not brilliantly.

Each grotesque rock was of a different shape, each as tall as a person. Some stood upright, some were fallen, and others were half-tilted.

At a casual glance, they looked like people or monsters.

But upon closer inspection, nothing could be discerned.

"Senior, please follow me!"

With the Night Spirit Pearl in hand, Chen Tanzhi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief while also bracing himself inwardly to the utmost!

His opportunity...

Had come!

Only after inserting the Night Spirit Pearl into the keyhole, would he truly have escaped to safety!

Moreover, there was even a chance to kill Lu Chen and Little Black here!

Chen Tanzhi was completely unaware that each of his actions was being observed by both Lu Chen and Little Black.

Not to mention Lu Chen, even Little Black had long known Lu Chen’s attitude towards Chen Tanzhi.

The understanding between master and servant naturally goes without saying!

After passing through the rocks, they finally found a level ground!

In front of them was a statue.

This statue, unlike the rough rocks, was exceedingly smooth and had a small hole on the top.

Upon closer inspection, the hole seemed to fit the Night Spirit Pearl perfectly!

"Is this the place?"

Lu Chen secretly harbored a killing intent; Chen Tanzhi’s usefulness had dwindled.

"Senior, do not panic," Chen Tanzhi, with fervor in his heart, tried to steady Lu Chen, saying, "The junior has not done more than guess about the use of the Night Spirit Pearl! Let me try it first, what if there is some other reaction after inserting the pearl?"

This was the most critical step, and Chen Tanzhi’s heart was in his throat!

"Fine, you go ahead and try it!"

Lu Chen made a move with his hand, and suddenly he had gathered a strand of Five Elements Spiritual Power!

To take the life of a Martial Artist like Chen Tanzhi, a strand of Spiritual Power was sufficient!

Just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind!

"Who would have thought that there would be such a treasure in this Tianyuan! This pearl is nice; we’ll take it!"

Liu Ruyan!

Neither Lu Chen nor Little Black expected it, nor did Chen Tanzhi!

But for him, the situation was even more critical, and without thinking further, he immediately pressed the Night Spirit Pearl into the small hole!

"Whoosh!"

The originally dim glow suddenly brightened!

Immediately afterward, the stone pillar lit up, and a radiance soared into the sky!
