Henry looked at Leilani and immediately turned his head away.
That woman could be considered the smartest among the Sacred Sons and Maidens, at least she was much smarter than Govind.
Henry's action of turning away made Leilani giggle once more.
The aroma of food wafted through the air. After having their bellies filled, the followers of the Nine Sacred Land all fell asleep contentedly.
Only the followers of the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces were unable to fall asleep.
"Why did Senior Brother have to scold the chef? It's normal for the ordinary to move slower than us."
"Watch it, keep your voice down."
Someone from the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces whispered.
Time went by slowly, and the sky gradually turned bright again. After a night of good sleep, everyone was once again in high spirits. Only those from the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces looked fatigued.
Govind put on a black cloak and hid himself in it, hiding his his exhausted and hungry expression from everyone else.
"Senior Brother, since we haven't entered the Restricted Zones, why don't we go back first? Let's assign a chef to come with us." A follower from the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces suggested in a low voice.
"What are you talking about?! We are going into the Restricted Zones!" Govind snapped. He was too arrogant, how could he possibly let others see him surrender?
There was nothing his followers could do.
The hundred-plus men group set off once again, still walking across those plains. They only felt increasingly tired as they moved on forward, because the gravity applied to them was getting stronger and stronger.
The road in front of them got narrower and narrower. Compared to the very beginning of the plain up to where they had travelled, the path had become less than a hundred meters wide. On both sides of the road were towering mountains, their rocky walls were smooth, without a single foothold to be found. The entire mountain had a dark shade to it, which gave off extremely depressing vibes.
As they moved forward, the width of the 100 meter path narrowed gradually, 80 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters.
The hundred- plus men troop walked on the 30-meter wide path. It felt very narrow and tight, and the ground under their feet gradually turned dark. Originally, all of them still communicated with each other as they walked that path, but at that moment they no longer talked to each other. "Why does it feel... so eerie in here." A helper beside Henry said as he trembled.
Govind's face, that was still hidden under his cloak, had an impatient expression written on it. "Where the h*ck is the entrance to the Abyss of the Restricted Zones?"
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual shook his head and said, "The so-called Restricted Zone refers to a world, and not a specific place, so there is no such thing as entrance to it. In the words of the ordinary, the path we had walked was already the Restricted Zones, but I believe that from the moment we felt the gravitational force, we had already entered the bounds of the Abyss of the Restricted Zones."
"What do you mean?" Govind turned to look at the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual.
"It's very simple. According to the Eight Trigram formation, we have entered the Gate of Death."
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual paused and waved his fly whisk.
A huge Eight Diagram formation disk appeared in the sky, pointing at Dui Palace!
The Sacred Son of Taoist Jade Virtual had a serious expression on his face. "The Dui Trigram is in the west, and its element is metal, which corresponds to a swamp in terms of nature. The swamp represents sinking and convergence. No matter what it is, it would be trapped and be struggling to escape. Its element is metal, which also represents autumn. Autumn also bears the meaning of bleakness, withering and cold- heartedness."
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual formed a few seals, and then said in a low voice: "The Dui Trigram combined with metal is a very ominous omen, and the metal element represents things made of metal, which are knives and swords of all sorts, and the Ghost Blade used by the executioner is related to the Dui Palace in the West."
Thomas nodded. "The west also symbolises migration. The Yang energy moves all that falls. It's now autumn. Dusk also represents the west, when dusk falls the sun goes down and the the world becomes dark. When it's autumn, leaves fall off the trees, it's sad and dreary. All of that sums up why West symbolises death, and under the category of Yin. It includes depression, darkness, terror, inauspiciousness, and death. Usually, things tend to be better in the east, and bad in the west, the east is more honourable, and the west is more inferior."
The Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual continued to form seals, causing the Eight Trigrams disk floating in the air to disappear. "We say that the people who have died have gone to the west, and when we bury the dead, their heads are all facing the west. We have tong been in the Restricted Zones."
"Amitabha, I personally believe that the West refers to paradise." The Sacred Son of the Sakya Shrine said.
The Sacred Son of Taoist Jade Virtual scoffed coldly and said, "This isn't your western Buddhist land."
"I believe that as long as there is a Buddha in our hearts, the Buddha would naturally exist."
"Alright, you two, now is not the time for such arguments." Valeria interrupted them. "Just turn around and have a look."
Everyone looked at the path they had walked. The wide plains had turned into a narrow path, with no end in sight.
"Too many experts have died here, so there will be resentful energy left behind. Be careful, everyone." Lorenzo said. He was born with a phenomenon, so he was extremely sensitive to those things.
As he spoke, a Ghost Blade appeared out of thin air and slashed directly at him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
With a cold snort, Lorenzo unsheathed his treasured sword at his waist and slashed it at the Ghost Blade.
An ear-piercing clang of metal was heard in the air.
The Ghost Blade that had appeared out of nowhere, broke under the clash with Lorenzo's sword before anyone had the chance to carefully observe
it.
"Watch out!"
A loud shout erupted. It was the Sacred Maiden of the Yin-yang Shrine.
Everyone looked up and saw numerous Ghost Blades appear in the sky. The swords slashed at them, each of them had the power of the First Level of the Heavenly Way.
"Set up the formation!"
Isabelle roared.
The followers of the Sacred Lands all reacted very quickly, and set up their formations almost instantaneously. Each Sacred Land set up a formation to resist the attacks of the Ghost Blades.
The Ghost Blades that had appeared in the sky did slash at them aimlessly, it all concentrated their strikes on the 10 defensive formations. Not a single blow was wasted.
Under the leadership of the Sacred Children, their defences against the attacks of the First Level of the Heavenly Way seemed effortless. However, the attacks rained on at them, not stopping at all.
The Ghost Blades kept appearing in the sky. Whenever they chopped downwards, Qi splashed out.
On the other hand, compared to the
members of the Sacred Land, Henry and his two helpers, seemed to be very relaxed. Their amulets protected them against the attacks of the blades. Henry watched the others struggling to resist those attacks in a very carefree manner.
Henry looked around and went to check on the Sacred Lands of Nine Palaces.
"Govind." Henry shouted at the person hidden in the cloak.
The Govind turned around and shot a glare at Henry, ignoring him.
Henry grinned. "Are you hungry yet?"
Govind's face, hidden under the cloak, twitched.
"Something's wrong!" the Carson shouted. "The force of gravity is increasing! The consumption of Qi is insane. We won't be able to last for much
longer!"
