556 Strange Lake
The needle continued to point in the direction of the compass, and there was no change even after a long time. It wasnât until a long time after they had left Southfire city and entered the land of death that they began to change slightly.
Hanxuan looked at the unusual needle in her hand and said in surprise, â this land of death is indeed strange. It seems that all kinds of forces are mixed and converged, affecting the normal direction of the needle. What should I do? â
since the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce has bid for this pointer, there must be no problem, â Yunxiao said. itâs a good thing. Just as you said, this is the place where all kinds of forces converge. It seems that we have to walk. The earth is filled with virtue and can organize the veins of all kinds of power. As long as we walk close to the ground, we should be able to do it. â
After the two of them landed, the recording needles in their hands stopped moving and pointed forward in unison.
Hanxuan was secretly shocked.âThis kind of knowledge shouldnât appear on a young man. His face is so tender!â
Yunxiao pointed at the ground and said, â judging from these footprints, they should belong to tan dijun and the others. There are nine of them in total. Although they are scattered, there are differences. Itâs enough to show the difference in cultivation.â
The two of them followed the pointer and moved forward. In the messy mountain forest, they turned a few directions and actually walked back and forth a few times.
Hanxuan was shocked,âdid I enter an illusion?â I remember Fang Tian He said that there is a natural illusion here.â
not necessarily, â Yunxiao said. if itâs a natural illusion, there must be a huge flow of power that supports the existence of this illusion. I think itâs very likely that the Chamber of Commerce has tampered with the compass.â
Hanxuan looked at the needle in her hand in shock and said, â âHow could the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce do such a thing? they are selling fake goods, disregarding their reputation?â She couldnât believe it. After all, to the Chamber of Commerce, reputation was more important than life.
Yunxiao frowned and said, â not necessarily. Maybe they just want to hide the real route, so they did something to the needle. In the end, they should still be able to go around the mine. No Chamber of Commerce can afford to be accused of auctioning a fake item.
Hanxuan agreed with him, but she found that the more she came into contact with Yunxiao, the more shocked she was. She now had no doubt that Yunxiao could help Tianyuan trading company win both martial arts and martial arts, but she was secretly surprised, wondering where Ding Ling âer had found such a freak.
âYes, theyâre in front!â
Yunxiao suddenly said after walking for a while. With a suspicious look on his face, he quickened his pace. It was because he clearly felt that tan dijun and the others seemed to be in trouble, and they didnât move forward.
The two of them quickly crossed a few bushes and saw tan dijun and the other nine people standing in front of a Lake. The lake was as pure as a mirror, and it was sparkling under the sunlight, giving off a refreshing and calm air.
âYoung master Yun!â
As soon as Mei Dong âer saw Yunxiao, she immediately came up to him with great joy. He greeted Hanxuan politely.
âKid, youâre here,â tan dijun said. This was considered a greeting, and he now treated Yunxiao as an equal, so he did not dare to be careless.
Yunxiao nodded, then his eyes fell on the lake. With a surprised look on his face, he said, â what a Strange Lake. The spiritual Qi is so dense, but there are no living creatures.
Tan dijunâs eyes twitched, and he said in surprise,âYou can tell? Well, I forgot that youâre a seventh-tier Alchemist. Did you see anything?â
the light and shadow are swaying, and the lake is clear. Itâs a good lake, but donât you see anything unusual? â
Yunxiao said lightly, as if he was interrogating everyone.
the spiritual energy on the surface of the lake is overwhelming, â an elder snorted. but thereâs no living creature in it. Do you think I need you to see? â
The elder was Zhen deyou, a third-tier martial honor, the one who was angry at Yunxiao at the auction. This time, two elders had come out with earth Lord tan. One of them was the mysterious elder Sima. He was wrapped in a black robe, and his expression could not be seen.
no! Yunxiao shook his head and said, â with your IQ, I think youâd better not talk. Vice sect master tan, do you see anything strange?â
âDonât run if youâre so capable! Fight me fair and square!â Zhen deyou nearly fainted from anger.
youâre challenging me? â Yunxiao said sarcastically. youâre two realms higher than me? â You still dare to say youâre not a Joker? If you have the ability to cross two major realms and challenge a godly state expert, that would be awesome!â
âYou coward! You should die!â
Zhen deyou was exasperated, but he had nothing to say. He turned around angrily and stopped talking to Yunxiao, lest he be angered to death.
Tan dijun knew Yunxiaoâs character well, and even he could not do anything to him. Besides, Yunxiao seemed to have noticed something at the moment, so he had to rely on a man with extraordinary wisdom like him.
other than the fact that there are no living creatures, I also feel that something is wrong, and itâs very strong. I just canât tell what the problem is!
Tan dijun gazed at the lake. He felt more and more strange, but he couldnât say it.
The rest of the people had the same feeling, as if they had overlooked something important.
the lake is quiet, â Yunxiao said with a smile. the mountain should have been reflected in it, but ...
âAh!â
Mei Dong âer was the first to call out. She said in shock,âThereâs no reflection of the forest on the lake!â
Only then did everyone come to their senses. No wonder they felt that something was wrong!
Tan dijunâs expression changed. He took a few steps forward and looked at the lake. His expression became even weirder. He found that his own shadow couldnât be reflected in the water. He could only see the stones at the bottom.
âYoung master Yun, whatâs going on?â
Mei Dong âer jumped to Yunxiaoâs side and began to ask for advice, her eyes full of admiration.
The rest of the people also had strange expressions on their faces. They felt that this young man was somewhat inconceivable. They all looked at him one by one, waiting for his answer.
I donât know, â Yunxiao said. I donât know.
Tan dijun asked,âZhenzhen, do you have any conditions?â Speak!â He had gotten used to Yunxiaoâs character, who would not get up early and do anything without benefits.
Yunxiao sweated and said awkwardly,âam I that snobbish and greedy? I really donât know. This is the first time Iâve seen such a Strange Lake.â
Tan dijun looked suspicious, and he asked again, â really? Actually, you can state your conditions. If itâs possible, Iâll definitely satisfy you.â
I really donât know, â Yunxiao said. I really donât. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked in confusion, â âDonât tell me that youâre not going forward just because there are no living beings? what situation did you encounter?â
âYou can try it yourself. See if you can get through it,â tan dijun smiled mysteriously.
Without saying a word, Yunxiao stepped on the surface of the lake. In this world, other than those terrifying places like the Galaxy, there was no place he did not dare to go.
âDonât!â
Mei Dong âer panicked and hurriedly stopped him, as if something was wrong.
âTa!â
But, it was too late. Yunxiao stepped on the water with one foot, causing it to splash, and a circle of waves spread out from under his feet.
All the people on the lakeshore widened their eyes as they saw a beam of light rise from under Yunxiaoâs feet. Then, in shock, his figure was instantly sucked into the lake by the light.
âYoung master Yun!â
Mei Dong âer and Hanxuan both cried out in alarm as they watched helplessly as they were sucked into the lake without leaving any traces. The surface of the lake was still and clear, as if nothing had happened.
âSect master tan, whatâs going on here?â Hanxuan asked in shock.
Tan dijun crossed his arms in front of his chest and said,âThere should be another space, so Iâll let Yunxiao try. With that kidâs ability, he should be fine. If he canât leave, Iâm afraid we canât either.â
His high evaluation of Yunxiao surprised and shocked everyone.
Although Yunxiaoâs strength, wisdom, and insight were all impressive, they still subconsciously regarded him as a martial Grandmaster. At most, he was a slightly special martial Grandmaster, who could not be compared with a Martial Emperor or a martial Supreme. However, tan dijunâs words had raised everyoneâs opinion of him by several levels.
Tan dijun glanced at the nervous Hanxuan and Mei Dong âer and smiled.âDonât worry. Since the needle of the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce is pointing in this direction, we will definitely pass it, but some people will die.â
His words made the two womenâs hearts sink even more, and their expressions became extremely ugly.
âVice sect leader, didnât you enter this land of death back then? Have you ever encountered this Lake?â
âEn, Yingluo.â
Tan dijun knocked his head with his finger and said,âItâs been a long time, but I donât have any impression of it. Itâs impossible for such a large lake to appear out of thin air in just a few decades. Itâs indeed strange.â
Hanxuan seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, â on the way here, young master Yun said that the route we took was most likely specially arranged by the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce. It will lead us to the final destination, but there will be many dangers along the way. Could this Lake be the work of the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce? â
âHuh? does he think so too?â tan dijun asked. I have the same feeling. In that case, this lake water is very likely a formation set up, but no matter how I look at it, itâs so real. It doesnât seem like something someone of Gao Linâs level could have done?â
âThen what should we do?â Hanxuan asked anxiously. Why donât we all join forces and perhaps we can break this formation?â
Tan dijun shook his head and said, â No. Letâs not talk about whether itâs a formation or not. We donât have such an expert Among Us. We canât tell. Even if we can break the array together, Yunxiao has already gone in, and we canât guarantee that he wonât be blown into pieces.â
Hanxuanâs face flickered. She was too eager to save Yunxiao, and she did not expect that she might hurt him. She lost her mind and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
Zhen deyou laughed out loud and said,âhaha, itâs best if heâs blown into pieces, so that the kid wonât run away so quickly!â Vice sect leader, I think that President Hanxuanâs plan is feasible. Arenât we just worried that we canât Catch That Kid?â
Hanxuan flew into a rage, her eyes burning with rage. Mei Dong âer also glared at Zhen deyou coldly. Even though he was an elder of the sect, she did not show any mercy.
