Chapter 293: First Restriction

hey quickly raised their heads, and their expressions stiffened instantly.The vortex of wind and clouds above was falling rapidly. Their current location was precisely where Gang Yu had been just mom...Time was short, not allowing them to slowly search for a safe route. Besides breaking in, no one could come up with a better solution.

Although Qin Sang was quite accomplished in the way of restrictions, after seeing just a corner of the restricted ice mountain shrouded in mist, he had no confidence that he could crack it in a short time.

Thus, we can only follow Yu Kong's suggestion.

Yen Wu spoke, "There are four of us, just right to pair up in two teams and support each other..."

Before Yan Wu could finish speaking, Yu Kong pointed with his finger and said in an unquestionable tone: "Yan Wu, you and Wu Chen will work together. Qingfeng Daoist and Shangguan Daoist will combine their swords and blades for a better cooperation!"

Yen Wu was taken aback, a hint of displeasure brewing in his heart. He opened his mouth, ready to say more, but when he met Yu Kong's icy gaze, he shivered involuntarily. He immediately realized that the little bit of affection between him and Yu Kong wasn't enough for Yu Kong to disregard everything and go all out to help him.

If it was because of his personal grudge that affected the plan to get medicine, Yu Kong would absolutely not mind giving him a lesson first.

At that moment, Yan Wu suddenly heard a whisper-like transmission in his ear.

Having received Yu Kong's promise, Yan Wu was overjoyed. He felt relieved and casually glanced at Qin Sang. Immediately, he followed Yu Kong's order and walked to Wu Chen's side.

“My esteemed friend, please continue to show me your kindness.”

Others didn't seem to notice the little gestures between him and Yu Kong.

"You're welcome..."

Wu Chen hurriedly returned the greeting, but a bitter smile played on his lips. If not for Yu Kong's order, he would least like to be with Yan Wu together.

It's not that I'm afraid Yan Wu will harm him. If Yan Wu were like them, he would be hesitant to save someone in danger, just as they are. But Yan Wu is Yu Kong's person.

Wu Chen couldn't help but worry that if something went wrong during the raid, Yu Kong would get angry.

Not only must one protect their own life, but also constantly be on guard to rescue Yanwu. The danger is doubled.

A wave of sadness washed over Wu Chen's heart.

Shangguan Lifeng walked to Qin Sang's side and gently raised his long sword, "Dao Chang Qingfeng, I don't know much about Dao Chang's swordsmanship. If there is anything lacking in our cooperation, please do give me more guidance."

Qin Sang clasped his hands and said, "Senior Shangguan is too modest. I will also pay attention to cooperating with you, but we don't know the situation inside yet. It's better to wait until after we go in and then decide on a strategy."

"The Daoist's words are reasonable."

Shangguan Lifeng didn't say much. He simply sheathed his sword and remained silent.

After such an agreement, the five men formed their battle lines. Qin Sang and Shangguan Lifeng were on the left, Wu Chen and Yanwu on the right, serving as Yu Kong's vanguard.

The restrictions around the mountain were roughly the same, and no one had the time or patience to tell them apart. They just picked a random spot and stepped into the restriction.

There was no dizzying change, everyone only felt a darkness before their eyes, then suddenly bright, followed by a wave of heat rushing towards them, a cyan-purple flame striking down from the sky.

Qin Sang and the others were always on guard. The moment they felt the heat wave, they immediately acted.

Several streams of spiritual energy, almost equal in power, struck the fiery stream with force, scattering it directly. They then drove the flames that had drifted around to the side and surveyed their surroundings.

They fell into a world of raging flames.

Fire, omnipresent in every direction, scorches this world with unbearable heat.

These flames, unburdened by any attachment, burn and wander in the void yet persist endlessly.

The flames around them weren't dense, with a few wisps of fire flowing about. They had just been unlucky; as soon as they entered, they had startled a flame stream. Fortunately, it wasn't very powerful and they easily dispersed it.

But around them, the flames suddenly intensified, merging into a sea of fire that stretched endlessly.

Flames raged, blotting out the sun.

The colors of the flames in each direction also differed. Some were the same purplish-gray as they had encountered before, while others were a dull gray, and some burned with the normal reddish hue...

Eight directions, front, back, left, right, and so on, had eight different colors of flames. They were distributed extremely evenly, like a fire disk in the shape of a Bagua, surrounding them.

Yu Kong had been observing the changes in the flames, and with a soft exclamation, he said, “The scene conjured by this restriction is rather familiar. The last time Yu traveled through the protective formation, he encountered this very fiery array.”

Seeing the imposing sight of these flames, everyone was initially a little apprehensive. Upon hearing this, they were all delighted.

Wu Chen seemed to have let out a breath of relief and asked, "Elder Yu, have you found the way to break the seal"

To everyone's surprise, Yu Kong shook his head slowly and said, "That's not the case. Although these restrictions seem to have some connection with the guardian formation, there are also significant differences. You need to go in and test them out yourselves. Based on our previous experience, these eight colors of flames should represent eight pathways. No matter which pathway you choose, you will eventually find a door, but only one of them leads to the real exit. If you choose the wrong door, you will fall into the next level of the restriction, making it much harder to break through. What's even more terrifying is that this is just one layer of all the restrictions. If we make a mistake and trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire restriction to be in turmoil, we will all fall into extremely dangerous situation."

U Chen's complexion paled slightly, and he exclaimed in alarm, "The first level of prohibition is already this dangerous..."

Yu Kong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Daoist Wu. As long as we find the right method, breaking the seal won't be difficult. Now, you two should enter the sea of fire in pairs. You don't have to forcefully reach the end of the sea of fire, just walk halfway and persist for at least thirty breaths. Once I see the changes within, I can distinguish which is the false gate and which is the real exit. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately, and I will do my best to save you."

Having said that, Yu Kong sat cross-legged in place and took out three small flags, inserting them beside him.

A small banner formed a cloud barrier, helping him withstand the onslaught of flames and allowing him to focus on observing the changes in the restrictions.

Yu Kong's eyes flashed, and he nodded to signal they could begin.

Wu Chen and Yan Wu walked into the grayish-white flames. Qin Sang and Shangguan Lifeng chatted while walking towards the violet fire sea ahead.

Qin Sang urged the Ebony Sword, while Shangguan Li wielded his blades with both hands.

Before this, they had some understanding of cloud beasts when hunting them. They couldn't say they were closely connected, but simple cooperation was still no problem.

Sword qi and blade energy crisscrossed, meeting the several streaks of flame that surged towards them. The figures of the two appeared in front of the sea of fire.

The sea of fire stretched endlessly, leaving no room for escape.

Countless tongues of fire surged out of the sea of flames, licking at their protective spiritual energy.

Encircled by flames, the hair on their faces seemed to curl.

“Master Qingfeng, perhaps we should travel one ahead and the other behind. That way, if one of us encounters danger, the other can quickly assist,” Shangguan Lifeng suggested.
