Chapter 174: Can't get out
"You will know if you follow me..." Seeing everyone's doubts, Ji Yan smiled bitterly.
I followed him, walked in the mist for a while, and came to a room.
The surroundings are surrounded by seals and traps, all of which have reached the seventh level. It seems that even a strong man like Tianye King will be strangled to death if he falls into them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xuan nodded.
It seems that although they are also trapped here, Tianye King obviously has a huge advantage. The old dean and others cannot compete and can only hide here to save their lives. These formations and traps should be to prevent sneak attacks.
I opened the door and walked in. The room was only a dozen square meters in size. Not to mention it was narrow, and there were no windows. There was only one night-light pearl shining on the surrounding area, making it look a little dim.
There was a person leaning against the wall on one side. His legs had disappeared and were hollow, and one of his arms was broken. However, when he saw the people coming, he immediately flew up, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Dean Ji, these are..."
There were only a few of them in the Fengsheng Pavilion. Suddenly seeing the same human beings, one can imagine the excitement in their hearts.
"Dean Tan, it's Master Wu from the Qingyuan Empire who found this place..." Ji Yan explained.
"Dean Tan? Are you Vice Dean Tan Qing?" Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought of someone.
Hongyuan Famous Teacher Academy has a total of four vice presidents, Mu Renxu, Ji Yan, and Tan Qing, three of them.
"It's me..." Tan Qing nodded and looked at Ji Yan not far away with confusion: "I don't know how to call these famous teachers?"
"Well... I just met them being chased by King Tianye and rescued them. As for their names, I haven't had time to ask..." Ji Yan said.
The situation just now was crisis, and he didn't have time to elaborate. He only knew Master Wu, and he wasn't really familiar with the other three.
"This is Master Zhang Xuan, the new dean of Hongyuan College, that is Master Luo Ruoxi, and that is the president of Qingyuan Empire Array Master Guild, and president Han Xuhan!" Master Wu introduced.
"The new dean?"
After hearing the introduction, the two of them looked over and frowned at the same time.
Even if they didn't have time to apply to the headquarters due to the critical situation, they came here directly. Hongyuan Famous Teacher Academy is also one of the four major academies... How could a guy with only the Saint level and such a young guy be the dean?
Just kidding!
"Although Dean Zhang is young, his strength is extraordinary. The reason why we found this place is thanks to his intervention!" Seeing the expressions of the two men and knowing what they were thinking, the pastor hurriedly explained.
To be honest, Zhang Xuan is really too young. Even if it was him, he would be suspicious when he saw him suddenly, let alone the two people in front of him.
"That's right, how can it be easy to come here!"
After hearing Master Wu's words, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
They have personally experienced the cruelty of Qiuwu Palace and know the dangers involved. To be able to walk here forcefully from the entrance must be extraordinary.
What's more, Master Wu spoke in person.
"Where is Dean Zhang Yinqiu?"
Zhang Xuan frowned and looked over.
Didn’t it say that the old dean was still alive? Didn’t he say that there were less than three people? Why aren’t they here?
"Dean Zhang..." Ji Yan and Tan Qing looked at each other, and their eyes dimmed at the same time: "He is already dead..."
"Dead? Dean Ji, didn't you just say that there are less than three of you alive? Now there are only two..."
This time it was President Han who spoke. It was obvious that he heard what President Ji just said.
There were two of them in front of me. If it were just the two of them, they would have just said two and it would have been done. But... but...he said less than three. Naturally, there is a reason.
It is absolutely impossible for a famous teacher with seven stars to make a slip of the tongue on such a matter.
"There is another one, Zhang Yinqiu. He is not so much alive, but no different from dead... However, since he is not here, I can only wait until a specific time to take you to see him!"
Ji Yan explained.
"Alive or dead?" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. However, looking at each other's appearance, they did not intend to elaborate, so they stopped asking further.
After a pause, Master Wu looked over in confusion: "What happened two years ago? Why didn't you report it to the headquarters when you knew it was very dangerous here?"
In fact, not only was he puzzled, but even Zhang Xuan found it incredible.
The old dean left a tomb in the dean's mausoleum. He must have known that the danger here was not something he could contend with. In this case, he should report it to the higher-level Hall of Famed Teachers. Why did he choose to remain silent and bring so many famous teachers in the academy?
Come here, and in the end...it's all gone.
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to go to the registration hall, it's just that time doesn't allow it!"
Ji Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master Wu is familiar with Dean Zhang, and knows that the one he admires most is Senior Wu Yangzi, and his favorite thing is to explore his life and deeds... After many investigations, he discovered the truth about this ruins.
Some things happened, and I also got some useful information. Just when I was about to go to the Enrollment Hall, the news somehow reached the ears of the people of the Foreign Spirit Tribe. Not only were the things deceived, but I also learned a deeper secret..."
"Later, I learned that the ruins were about to be opened and there was no time to delay. They gathered us together overnight and came after us!"
After hearing the explanation, Master Wu frowned: "Zhang Yinqiu has a jade medal for summons from the headquarters. He only needs to send a summons to inform him of the situation. It won't waste too much time... Why not do it?"
To send a message, even if you explain the details of this ruins in detail, it only takes a dozen breaths. You can summon people overnight and chase them quickly... It shouldn't be difficult to send a message!
Why does it say time is not allowed?
"If your guess is correct, the news should not have reached the ears of the Foreign Spirit Tribe people, but... they were deceived! And is this liar from the headquarters? Does it make you feel uneasy about the headquarters?"
Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and figured out the key.
If there was no fear, he would have been summoned long ago.
"This...Master Zhang really has a keen eye and can see the problem at a glance..."
Hearing his words, Ji Yan and Tan Qing opened their mouths at the same time and couldn't help but admire him.
From such simple words just now, I can guess this. Master Zhang in front of me really has amazing discernment ability. No wonder he is really extraordinary to be the dean.
"Cheated away? From the headquarters?"
Master Wu was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists.
He was also a smart man and immediately figured out what was going on.
Zhang Yinqiu was deceived by a fake "famous teacher" from the headquarters. He was prepared and didn't know much about the situation of Qingyuan Empire's famous master hall, so he naturally did not dare to rashly summon him.
Maybe I originally planned to go there in person if I could get out of the ruins, but... I never came back.
"Who is it?" Master Wu narrowed his eyes and looked over.
He knows all the famous teachers in the headquarters. Who are they?
"Now we are all trapped here, no one can get out, and there is no point in speaking out..." Ji Yan shook his head.
If everyone can't get out, what's the point of speaking out?
In this case, it is better not to say anything to avoid causing trouble.
"Really can't get out? Are we going to be stuck here forever?"
President Han spoke.
"Well, the seal outside has no way in or out. You must have seen it. It should have been arranged by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu himself... Unless you get his inheritance and understand the mystery of the seal, it is impossible to leave!"
Tan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He suddenly remembered something and looked over: "By the way, we were entangled with Tianye King and others and couldn't escape, so we had to escape here. Along the way, you should find the path to the inheritance of the ancient saint.
Is it a portal? Can it be inherited?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Master Wu and others looked embarrassed.
I entered the portal, saw the statue of the ancient saint, and even passed the assessment, but... in the end, the inheritance was not obtained!
If you tell such a weird thing, it would be hard for the other party to believe it.
"What's wrong? Don't you see... the traces left by Dean Zhang?"
Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Ji Yan couldn't help but ask.
The mark is so obvious, it should be easy to spot!
"As expected, it was left behind by you. Since you know that there is inheritance in the portal, why don't you go in and take a look?"
This time it was Chairman Han’s turn to be strange.
If they stayed, they would naturally open the portal and determine the direction. In this case, why not go in? If the Ancient Sage really wanted to enter, the Tianye King might not be able to survive until now.
"At that time, we arrived at the portal first and activated it... However, just as we confirmed the location and before we went in to investigate, King Tianye chased us. The inheritance of the ancient saint is too involved. If we really want to
If it is obtained by the other party, it is very likely that the entire human race will suffer disaster... We dare not bet! Therefore, the traces left quietly by the dean on the ground are coming here. King Tianye is suspicious by nature, and he saw nine more portals.
, they didn’t go in to investigate, and continued to chase them, and finally they all arrived here..."
Ji Yan explained the situation at that time.
Although he said it in an understatement, Zhang Xuan and others could infer the cruelty.
Mu Renxu and others died not far from the Nine Gates, and no one recovered their bodies, which clearly shows the danger at that time.
"After entering here, everyone was trapped and fought many times. Of course, only King Tianye was left among the Foreign Spirit tribe. The famous masters we came here were also almost dead... Fortunately, the terrain here is complicated, so we were able to survive.
, Otherwise, the entire army would have been wiped out long ago..."
Ji Yan sighed.
"I see!"
Everyone nodded.
They have personally experienced the power of King Tianye. Even Master Wu and President Han couldn't resist it. At that time, everyone only had the peak of the first level of the Holy Domain, so there was nothing they could do.
It can be said that it is not easy to survive until now.
"By the way, you haven't answered us yet, have you received the inheritance from Ancient Sage Qiu Wu?"
After explaining, Ji Yan looked over again. This involved whether they could leave, and he really wanted to understand it from the bottom of his heart.
"This...the idea left behind by Ancient Sage Qiu Wu was shattered by Master Zhang, and no inheritance was left behind!"
