Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Deliberately Trying to Send Us to Our Deaths

Tree leaves and tree bark aren’t inedible; just continue eating them.

"Zhe Jue and the others are trustworthy. Divide the items among them and have them keep it. Say that they are the ones saving it, then others naturally won’t have anything bad to say about it."

In that case, if there were suspicions, it would fall on Zhe Jue and his group, or perhaps on him, which would deflect the doubts away from Sang’er.

"Mm, let’s do that."

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang nodded in agreement.

...

After a rest of more than an hour, everyone was ready.

Before that, Ya Molian took Lin Caisang on several tests beneath the vortex. They discovered that moving within a mile outside the cave, the vortex couldn’t detect their presence.

Later, Ya Molian ran under the vortex using lightness skills, and with advanced lightness skills, before the vortex’s suction reached its peak, it was possible to run out of the vortex’s range and reach the opposite side.

But unfortunately, not everyone had Ya Molian’s lightness skills, especially Lin Caisang. Other than running, he had no other skills. What could be done?

"Why don’t we climb over this mountain and go from the backside?" someone proposed.

To take a risk and walk towards that vortex again, no one had the courage and resolve to do so.

"No."

The Eldest Prince immediately rejected the suggestion.

"What lies behind the mountain, no one knows. We all came from different directions to get here, surely entering the mountain from different parts of White Blind Mountain. But in the end, we all reached the side of the vortex and then made it into this cave.

This proves that no matter which route we want to take, to descend the mountain, we must go down from the front."

He reasoned, raising his hand to point in the direction of the vortex.

"How is that possible? Isn’t White Blind Mountain just a mountain? Shouldn’t it be the same no matter which direction we descend from?" Another man found the Eldest Prince’s words too absurd and shook his head.

"What you’re talking about is just a coincidence, right? We walked and got lost, and so ended up coming from the same direction. It can happen, can’t it? Why must we go beneath the vortex to seek death?

You must be deliberately trying to get us killed, right?"

"Exactly. What’s the problem with going down the backside of the mountain? We can certainly get down; why not take the better route instead of choosing a dead-end path? Everyone, don’t you agree?"

Another person stepped forward, accusing the Eldest Prince and attempting to rally everyone else to criticize him.

"Eldest Prince of Luoyun Kingdom, do you really have ill intentions toward us, wishing that we all die here and never return?"

"Eldest Prince, everyone knows you’re skilled in martial arts, just like Prince Mo, and for you, escaping from this place is easy. But it’s different for us. If we can’t run out when the time comes, we’ll be sucked into the vortex to our deaths!"

Several people lost their patience and began to blame the Eldest Prince of Luoyun Kingdom.

"He’s from Luoyun Kingdom, naturally, he wouldn’t want to see us return alive, would he? It’d be a good way for their Luoyun Kingdom to eliminate a few more formidable enemies. Eldest Prince, you truly have a cunning plan."

Someone sneered sarcastically, and the look they gave the Eldest Prince had a tinge of meaning.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My Eldest Imperial Brother is definitely not such a person; you are simply ignorant..."

The Sixth Prince couldn’t stand those people slandering his elder brother and tried to argue, but the Eldest Prince stopped him, preventing him from continuing.
