Chapter 938: Four Paths

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Inside the stone room, Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He stood with his hands behind his back like an undefeatable warrior and his eyes grazed over everyone.

The two demons of corpses he had just fought had turned into air and disappeared from the world.

This shocked Han Qing Xue and the others. They didn’t think that he would be so dominating even when going against two enemies. He merely used 15 minutes to kill the two demons.

Remember, the rest of them were struggling to fight against the demons and it was still difficult to determine the winner.

Yet Ling Xian had finished his fight – he managed to end both of them. This was something unbelievable. Even as Heaven’s Favorites themselves, they couldn’t help but be surprised.

But it wasn’t the time to be stunned.

Perhaps it was due to Ling Xian’s aggressiveness, Han Qing Xue and the others began to summon all the techniques they know. Because of this, their opponents fell into a disadvantage.

After some time, everyone had killed their respective demons and the war ended.

“The deathly energy of the man managed to turn into demons of corpses who are at the peak of the original level. This should prove the buried man was an almighty one.”

Sensing the eeriness inside the stone room, Ling Xian mumbled, “He must be an omnipotent.”

“That’s right. He is for sure an omnipotent. It’s been proven. We will return with a full basket.”

Han Qing Xue’s eyes were heated. Thinking about the treasures left behind by an omnipotent gave her much anticipation and desire.

“You are only half right.”

Ling Xian glared at her, “An omnipotent for sure is buried with much treasures. That is unquestionable. However, you think an omnipotent would allow someone to disturb his peace?”

Hearing this, Han Qing Xue’s face changed color. Xu Chuan and Fang Mu’s did as well.

There will definitely be treasures. But there will be much danger. That was without a doubt. After all, this was the grave of an omnipotent!

“The demon of corpse is just the beginning. The path we are about to take is going to treacherous. The slightest recklessness will result in us being buried with the omnipotent.”

Ling Xian spoke slowly, “Look behind.”

Hearing this, Han Qing Xue and everyone else shifted their gaze towards the door. Then, their expression changed.

All because the door they came from had disappeared. A wall replaced it. A wall made out of gold stones.

This was a heavenly material that is known for its indestructibleness and its defensive abilities.

“Dammit!”

Han Qing Xue cursed. She lifted her hand and slammed down the wall!

After the slap, however, the wall remained unharmed.

“Don’t waste your time. I believe you have seen how the wall is made out of gold stones. Our power alone cannot open it.”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He wasn’t flustered by this. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, it was that he had passed the stage of being shocked.

The moment he had asked Huang Jiu Ge to get out, he had realized the door had turned into a wall. This was why he is able to remain calm right now.

“Dammit, doesn’t this mean we have no way to retreat now?” Han Qing Xue’s face darkened. Thinking about not having an escape route, her heart dropped.

“That’s right.”

Ling Xian nodded lightly. His gaze turned determined, “The only way for us to advance now is to walk forward. If we don’t, then we will be trapped here forever.”

Hearing this, Han Qing Xue sighed. “That seems to be the only way.”

“Then let’s go. I refuse to believe we will have to die here. We will find a way out.”

Ling Xian smiled. Though he felt much stress and danger, he remained at ease.

Since things have unfolded in such a manner, what he has to do next is to find a way out, not sitting here and waiting to die.

Luckily, Huang Jiu Ge had retreated to outside the door. In other words, she’s not trapped inside. This was the best scenario. At the very least, Ling Xian had nothing to worry about.

“I hope so. If I knew the door would turn into a wall made out of gold stones, I wouldn’t have come.”

Han Qing Xue exhaled deeply and revealed much worry. Just like Xu Chuan and Fang Mu.

Ling Xian didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked over to the Stone Room.

This place was wide and empty. The center of it was a diagram carved on a stone. There were arrows pointing at eight different exits. It looked like they were directed to different places. They could be pointed to opportunities, or dead ends.

“Eight exits. How do we choose…”

Ling Xian frowned and took out the Plate of Escape from his storage pouch. He placed his hope onto this treasure.

After all, he didn’t understand secret traps or fengshui. He could only hope that this treasure can lead him down the right path.

After he asked the Plate of Escape, a golden needle slowly quivered, as if looking for something.

This caught Han Qing Xue and the others’ gaze. Their eyes flickered with much hope.

Ling Xian’s eyes did the same.

After some time, the hope in his eyes turned into curiosity.

All because the golden needle suddenly turned into four. They all pointed at a different exit.

Ling Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What did that mean? He thought it was supposed to point out one path? Why did it turn into four? Isn’t that a scam?

Han Qing Xue and the others were speechless as well. They didn’t realize the legendary Plate of Escape would pull something like this.

“Oh well, it looks like this Plate of Escape is useless.”

Ling Xian softly sighed, “But one thing is for sure. Out of these eight, if there is a path that can guarantee our survival. These four are the most likely.”

“That’s right. Problem is, which one do we choose?” Han Qing Xue asked the critical question.

“We pick at random.”

Ling Xian said, “All four could lead us down the right path. We have to play it by luck.”

“Aye, that may be the only way.”

Han Qing Xue sighed and then said with determination, “I will follow whatever you choose.”

Hearing this, an unusualness flashed across Ling Xian’s face. He didn’t think this woman would choose like this. But remembering how he had the Plate of Escape, he understood.

While this treasure hasn’t made the best choice, it did point out four paths. Perhaps as he walks on, it will regain its usefulness and help them survive.

“We will follow you as well.”

Xu Chuan and Fang Mu exchanged glances and said in unison.

Ignoring the Plate of Escape, they know how strong Ling Xian’s capabilities were. Following him was better than fighting solo.

Ling Xian nodded at this, basically agreeing. However, he then looked over to Xu Chuan, “You better be good. Don’t plan anything sketchy. Or else I won’t be kind.”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan’s eyes flashed with disdain. But due to Ling Xian’s powerfulness, he could only nod.

“Very well. Let’s go then.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and walked out of where he was.

At this, Han Qing Xue and the others followed.

The moment Ling Xian stepped into the path of choice, a crisis arrived as well.

Whooosh!

After a loud sound, sword energy rays dashed over from both sides with enough energy to split open heavens. The sword energy rays surrounded the group!
