Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Peril of the Forbidden Area!

"But... Where’s Xiao Hei?"

The world was dark around him, but not to the extent of being unable to see one’s fingers when stretching out a hand.

What disappointed him even more was the complete absence of Xiao Hei’s figure, nor was Chen Tanzhi anywhere to be seen!

"Could it be that everyone enters in a different location?"

Lu Chen was both shocked and delighted.

He was shocked that he was still separated from Xiao Hei.

The delight naturally stemmed from no longer being subjected to the oblique glances of those female cultivators; even they might have been separated, which meant he could possibly defeat them one by one!

Of course, that was assuming he could encounter them!

"There are various prohibitions within this forbidden area, so I believe Chen Tanzhi wouldn’t have lied to me about that."

It was then that Lu Chen began to take a closer look at the brand-new world before him.

In the sky hung a full moon, but it seemed to be shrouded in a veil, making it look extremely dim.

All the light came from it.

After observing the sky, he turned his attention ahead, then looked around in all directions.

What he saw was an endless plain of grassland, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The grass was ample, but what made Lu Chen suspicious was that it was all withered!

Logically, withered grass suggested a loss of vitality, yet, peculiarly, some of it was sprouting flowers.

And these flowers too were of the same wilted yellow color!

"Is this the incomprehensible aspect of Tianyuan?"

He thought about how Tianyuan was also below the heavens, yet it was a place where the light couldn’t penetrate, making this phenomenon seem not so strange by comparison.

"I need to be more careful," he resolved.

Lu Chen took out his long spear, cautiously probing ahead, while he dared not dispel his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

Under the effect of the Pupil Skill, the air was replete with Spiritual Power.

Various colors of Spiritual Power flowed continuously, with Wood Spirit Power being sparse, in contrast to the particularly dense Fire Spiritual Power.

But Lu Chen, looking straight ahead, failed to notice anything out of the ordinary.

Otherwise, he surely would have realized the problem here.

The balance of Yin and Yang was disrupted, the Five Elements out of equilibrium!

...

"What kind of cursed place is this, and where are the people?"

Liu Ruyan found herself in a marshland resembling rice paddies filled with water in the realm of mortals.

Apart from the ridge she was standing on, there was nowhere else to set foot.

And there was no one else around!

Just before Lu Chen had broken in, she had ordered her junior sisters to go ahead, and she was the last to enter.

But who would have thought, not only did she end up in such a bizarre place, but she also failed to see anyone else!

Even after calling out several times, there was no response to be heard.

"Could they have been swallowed up by the water?"

Being in the late phase of Qi Refinement, she had some experience, and upon appearing, she hadn’t moved rashly out of fear of causing trouble.

After pondering for a moment, she took out a talisman from her storage bag and threw it far away.

"Splash!"

Where the talisman landed, the water suddenly splashed!

As the water touched the talisman, fierce flames burst forth!

In the blink of an eye, the talisman was burned to ash!

This scene made Liu Ruyan’s eyes widen in shock. She had used the talisman to scout the way, but who could have anticipated such danger?

This seemingly serene and picturesque water was actually fire?

Liu Ruyan didn’t dare to breathe too heavily. She hastily retracted her foot and stood quietly, not daring to let any part of her body go beyond the boundary of the ridge!

She even held her breath, causing her chest to shrink considerably.

Similar scenes occurred in various corners of this forbidden area.

Whether it was the rest of the female cultivators from Xuanji Sect or Xiao Hei who had bitten Chen Tanzhi to death, all were in peril!

The nature of the dangers merely differed.

No one knew what kind of crisis they might encounter with the next step they took!

Outside the forbidden area, as Lu Chen had speculated, everyone saw the pillar of light that shot into the sky, and they all rushed toward this place!
