Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The Radiance Shines, The Forbidden Ground Opens!

"This place holds a treasure site!"

Liu Ruyan was ready to make a move on Lu Chen!

However, she didn’t know it was Lu Chen; she just knew he was the only monk here!

As for Little Black?

With many junior sisters behind her, couldn’t they handle a mere beast?

But no matter what, she hadn’t expected that a martial artist would dare to use the Night Spirit Pearl under their watchful eyes!

What she expected the least was such a consequence!

The place was brilliantly illuminated, and everyone, including Lu Chen, was stunned, all except for Chen Tanzhi!

Knowing he would surely die if he stayed, how could he dare to remain in place? Like a madman, he dashed past the stone pillars and entered the bright light!

"Swoosh!"

Lu Chen was well-prepared for defense, but Little Black suddenly sprang out, also following into the light!

In an instant, a scream echoed from within!

This, like a death knell, also made Lu Chen and others such as Liu Ruyan regain their senses!

"I imagine this fellow daoist knows this is a treasure site, yes?"

Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes; under these circumstances, there seemed no need to consider Lu Chen an enemy.

Even if they killed Lu Chen, they would likely be unable to retrieve the Night Spirit Pearl.

Moreover, she desired the Night Spirit Pearl merely to facilitate moving within the heavenly abyss.

Now that the Night Spirit Pearl seemed to have opened a gate of light, she didn’t mind traveling with Lu Chen.

Of course, her idea remained the same as before, to have Lu Chen scout ahead for them!

"I also learned about this place from that martial artist and had him lead the way here! Who knew he would be so untrustworthy!"

Lu Chen said with an unchanged expression.

From the dress and demeanor of Liu Ruyan and the others, he sensed something familiar.

It seemed somewhat similar to the clothing of the female cultivator who had coerced him before.

However, there were more differences than similarities.

"I see," Liu Ruyan said with a coy laugh, "In that case, I wonder if this fellow daoist, considering our weakness as women, would be willing to let us travel with you? Since you were able to find this treasure site, your abilities must be exceptional!"

Not to mention Lu Chen’s extreme suspiciousness, even an ordinary person would realize from Liu Ruyan’s previous reactions that these people had ill intentions.

But at the moment, since the other party didn’t want to show overt hostility, Lu Chen also slightly relaxed.

They were merely using each other, just as he had with Chen Tanzhi!

It was all a matter of who had the greater skills!

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen knew that if he refused, there was a high probability that the others would directly attack.

Such a column of light would certainly be seen by everyone in the heavenly abyss, and people would soon start flocking to this place!

If they were martial artists, it wouldn’t count for much.

But he feared...

There could be cultivators from other sects!

If these women could come here, why not other cultivators?

Besides, who knew if the noises here would attract some highly intelligent beasts?

Lu Chen made up his mind; rather than fight with the female cultivators here, it was better to enter the forbidden area with them for the time being!

If it was as dark inside the forbidden area as out here, he might even gain some advantage!

Lu Chen’s thoughts were swift, deciding everything in an instant, so he simply nodded and said with a smile, "To have the company of such beauties, I could ask for nothing better!"

"Giggle, giggle, giggle—"

Liu Ruyan’s laughter bloomed like flowers, her voice scattering in all directions!

At the same time, the brilliance of the light slowly morphed, spreading from a singular beam to form a gradually widening arch-shaped gate of light!

It appeared that, just as Chen Tanzhi had said, the Night Spirit Pearl was indeed the key to opening the forbidden land!

If that was the case, then they should venture into it!

Thinking that Little Black had already rushed in first, he didn’t know if it was affected by the light, but one thing was for sure: Chen Tanzhi was certainly dead!

In dealing with cultivators, Little Black might not prevail, but against a mere martial artist...

Little Black could even swallow them whole!

Lu Chen steadied his mind and stepped into the gate of light as well!

As his vision darkened instantly, he quickly activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

With the Five Elements Spiritual Power infused into his pupils, the scenes flickered before him, and in an instant, he appeared in an entirely new place!
