Chapter 302 - 302 The Difference In the Flow of Time

302 The Difference In the Flow of Time

Before the two of them knew what was going on, they were pulled up by Ye Xuan and ran for their lives. The altar behind them rumbled and the ground began to shake as if a pair of giant hands were trying to uproot the entire cave.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, a huge meteorite fell from above, right where they had just been. If Ye Xuan hadn’t dodged in time with them, they would have been smashed into meat paste.

“That altar?”

Ye Xuan knew they had a lot of questions, but it was obviously not a good time to talk.

“This place is going to collapse. Let’s talk outside.”

Because Qian Yuan was injured, he couldn’t move easily. Ye Xuan helped him to the entrance of the cave. Probably because the cave had lost the effects of the altar, there were no strange restrictions or winding roads. The monsters didn’t come out to stop them, which made Shen Changling heave a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, they might not have been able to escape successfully.

Seeing a faint light coming from the front, he was overjoyed. “The exit is just ahead.”

The three of them walked out, and the surrounding towering trees came into view. The view was the same as when they came, and nothing had changed. Stepping on the soft ground, they felt that they were really far away from the cave.

Although the forest was dimly lit, there would occasionally be light leaking in. However, the original place could be said to be dark.

Shen Changling felt as if he had been in a different world. After staying in that dark cave for so long, he almost didn’t look like a human or a ghost. Even now, he still felt unreal. He couldn’t help but sigh.

“We’ve finally walked out of that damned place.”

Ye Xuan turned around. The cave had completely collapsed. Countless gravel and mud had buried everything as if everything would continue to sleep underground. It looked like a mess.

He didn’t know what happened to those humanoid creatures in the end. They should have disappeared with the broken altar forever. After all, they were all born with the altar.

More than half of the altar’s power had been absorbed by Ye Xuan. The altar originally wanted to bewitch Ye Xuan to become its puppet, but it didn’t expect to go for wool and come home shorn. Instead, the altar had put itself in danger.

The altar, which had lost its source, was unable to support the array and restriction behind it, which was why the cave had collapsed. Naturally, it could no longer restrain Ye Xuan and the others.

“It should all be over now.”

“It’s all over.”

Ye Xuan continued Shen Changling’s words and recalled everything that had happened in the cave. He found it extremely disturbing, but they managed to escape in the end. The process was difficult and dangerous. They were almost killed and his body had even been taken over.

Shen Changling couldn’t wait to leave this unlucky place. He didn’t have a good impression of it and didn’t want to stay for long.

“Let’s leave first. When I was in the cave, I was affected by the array and couldn’t communicate with the outside world. It’s been so long since I contacted Master. He might think that something has happened to me.”

“Yes, let’s talk after we leave. During the time we’ve been missing, we don’t know what the situation is like in the outside world.”

Ye Xuan faintly saw a faint green light flash, and then it was completely buried in the ruins. Broken stones, dead branches, and fallen leaves covered the ground, and no strange aura was emitted. This must be the final destination of the high priest and the altar.

Even if he turned back now, he would only find a few piles of dust on the altar.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Do you still feel any discomfort?”

Qian Yuan shook his head and replied, “No, I don’t.”

That inexplicable sense of oppression, which could even affect his cultivation base, had completely disappeared. His strength was also slowly recovering. He didn’t know if it was a blessing in disguise, but he felt that his cultivation realm was still showing signs of advancing.

Not long after they walked out, they encountered a few big demons. These demons must have heard the commotion here and rushed over.

When they saw Qian Yuan, they were extremely excited. “My Lord, you’ve finally come out. I knew that you would be fine.”

If it wasn’t for Qian Yuan’s repeated warnings that they shouldn’t get close to the cave, these demonic beasts wouldn’t have been able to hold back and would have barged in.

Otherwise, who knew how many more demonic beasts would fall into the hands of the high priest? Not only would they lose their lives innocently, but they would also increase the power of the altar imperceptibly. It might even affect the actions of Ye Xuan and the others, and the plan would not be able to proceed smoothly.

If the altar’s power had been any stronger, it was likely to overshadow Ye Xuan’s rationality. It could only be said that everything was a fluke. Thinking of this, Qian Yuan and Shen Changling still had some lingering fear.

That was really close.

“Did anything strange happen during the few days we were away?”

After saying this, Qian Yuan noticed the strange expression on the big demon’s face, as if it wanted to say something.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”

“My-My Lord, you’ve been gone for a few months…”

Ye Xuan was stunned. He couldn’t believe it. He exclaimed, “A few months?!”

In the cave, it was impossible to tell day from night or how much time had passed. The altar seemed to have magic that could affect one’s perception and cognition.

Ye Xuan originally thought that at most a few days had passed, but he was told that more than a month had passed. It felt like most of his time had been stolen.

Could it be that time flowed even faster while they were in the cave?

The three of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

The big demon nodded and replied, “Yes, ever since My Lord left, we followed your instructions and didn’t dare to approach that place. We only watched from a distance. Today, we heard the commotion and rushed over.”

Qian Yuan had a high prestige among the demonic beasts. All the demonic beasts were convinced by his words. Moreover, if it was something that even he could not deal with, then these demonic beasts would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

Moreover, before Qian Yuan left, he had left behind a dragon scale. If the dragon scale disappeared, it would mean that he had died.

Although they had not been able to contact Qian Yuan, the dragon scale was still fine. Thus, even though the demonic beasts were worried about his condition, they were not in a state of panic.
