The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2792 The Truth of No Other Choice

Inside the Mythical Restaurant, Qian Feng informed Zheng Tuo that he had found the location of the One-Knife Immortal, which Zheng Tuo naturally did not believe.

He preferred to believe that Sun Yi's methods had failed, forcing Qian Feng to resort to second-hand methods.

"Junior Brother Dao Fourteen, prepare yourselves these next few days. We may set off at any time," Qian Feng told Zheng Tuo before hurriedly leaving.

In the following days, Sun Yi, unwilling to give up, came to see Zheng Tuo again, leaving Zheng Tuo feeling quite helpless about this woman.

It's clear that Sun Yi is a very strong-willed woman; her relentless determination to achieve her goals leaves him helpless.

He really wanted to tell Sun Yi that if she used this energy on her cultivation, she might be able to make further progress and wouldn't be stuck in this mediocre state.

After enduring for several days, Qian Feng told him that he could set off.

He left the Myth Restaurant and went to the agreed-upon place.

Just then, he discovered the problem.

"Senior Brother Qian Feng, why are there so many people together!"

There were more than a dozen powerful figures around Zheng Tuo. They were all different in appearance and race, and each of them looked very serious.

"Here's what happened: I discovered a treasure trove in the Mythical Battlefield, but it was quite dangerous, so I gathered some powerful individuals to go there together."

Zheng Tuo nodded in response to these words.

“Junior brother, don’t worry. The place where we’re going on our mission is very close to where One-Knife Immortal is. I’ll let you know when to leave the team,” Qian Feng said to Zheng Tuo.

"Thank you, senior brother."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

“I am the fourteenth junior brother. If you really want to thank your senior brother, why not help him complete this mission? You should know that your senior brother is already injured, and this mission is related to his injury. If he cannot complete it, he may die!”

Sun Yi spoke at this moment, and the seriousness in her words made Zheng Tuo's heart tremble.

He looked at Qian Feng, who waved his hand and said, "I don't need your help, Junior Brother. That place is really dangerous. Although there may be great treasures there, it's too dangerous. I think it's better for you not to go."

"What you're saying is ridiculous. We are both from the Sword Sect. How could I stand idly by when you were in such great trouble? Besides, you helped me a lot."

Sun Yi's words were clearly meant for Zheng Tuo's ears.

The couple were clearly trying to persuade him to join their team and help complete their so-called mission.

He looked around at the crowd.

The group of powerful individuals present came from different races, but all of them possessed the cultivation level of a half-step Breakthrough Realm cultivator.

It seems that this group of people is not part of Qian Feng's group.

Could it be that what Qian Feng said is true, that some treasure has really appeared, but this guy needs cannon fodder, so he needs my help, which is why he found so many people?
He had something on his mind, and immediately agreed.

“Since Senior Brother Qian Feng is in trouble, I will certainly not stand idly by. Besides, as Senior Sister Sun Yi said, Senior Brother Qian Feng has helped me a lot, and I have no way to repay him. I must participate in this mission. After the mission is over and I help Senior Brother cure his incurable disease, I will go to find that One-Knife Immortal without any rush.”

Zheng Tuoyi spoke with righteous indignation, clearly stating that he had to participate.

"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother. Since you insist, then let's go together. Of course, Junior Brother, don't worry. The place ahead is a treasure land, and there must be treasures inside. If we can find any treasures, you will definitely get a share."

Qian Feng made a solemn promise at this moment, and then the group set off.

The group arrived at the massive bronze gate and entered without further ado.

hum!
As the light flickered before his eyes, Zheng Tuo found himself in an unfamiliar world.

The first thing he felt was chaos, unparalleled chaos. The whole world was filled with all sorts of different forces, and he felt as if he had entered a vortex of power, which made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Fourteenth Junior Brother, are you alright?"

Sun Yi deliberately moved closer, still showing no signs of giving up, which caused Zheng Tuo to retreat slightly.

"It's alright. This mythical battlefield is indeed special. I'll get used to it after a while."

As Zheng Tuo spoke, he activated the power within his body.

Suddenly.

The feeling of unease quickly disappeared, and he was able to observe this world more closely.

The mythical battlefield looked gloomy, with persistent dark clouds in the sky. At the same time, the space not far away would occasionally twitch and emit mournful cries, as if ghosts were howling, which frightened people.

Experiencing everything here firsthand, Zheng Tuo felt an unprecedented sense of desolation and awe.

In this very world, countless beings who broke through barriers made their moves, all for the chance to become immortals.

however.

Ultimately, it led to the deaths of countless people here.

Rather than calling this a mythical battlefield, it's more like a great tomb, a tomb that has buried countless powerful figures.

Having this thought in mind, he maintained a sense of awe and followed the group forward.

"Junior Brother Dao Fourteen, you must be careful. There is no safe place in the Mythical Battlefield. Even though we are on the outskirts of the Mythical Battlefield now, there is still a chance that we will be affected."

Qian Feng wanted to remind Zheng Tuo to be careful and not to lose his life due to carelessness.

"Ah."

Zheng Tuo nodded.

He had already realized the danger of this mythical battlefield.

Just now, he witnessed a mountain being flattened by a gentle breeze.

The seemingly impossible happened at this moment. That wisp of breeze was like the follow-up blow of the wallbreaker, easily destroying a mountain until nothing was left.

Such situations occur frequently on the periphery, and I've heard that they're commonplace inside as well.

The Mythical Battlefield was far more dangerous than he had imagined. Here, people needed to be 100% focused, otherwise they would easily be affected by sudden dangers. If they were lucky, they would get injured; if they were unlucky, they would perish in an instant.

Follow the group.

Because Qian Feng frequently enters the Mythical Battlefield, he knows the most stable route.

This ensured that no accidents occurred along the way, and after traveling for several days, they finally arrived at the place Qian Feng had mentioned.

Ahead lay a dilapidated palace, its ruins a far cry from its former glory.

"Everyone, the place I'm referring to is right here in this dilapidated palace. Be careful, as such places are prone to attracting all sorts of dangerous creatures."

Qian Feng intentionally reminded those present.

Some of the people present immediately became extremely vigilant, while others remained unmoved.

Following that, led by Qian Feng, the group entered the dilapidated palace ahead.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo hesitated for a moment before getting up and following.

The team consists of ten strong individuals. Besides Qian Feng, Sun Yi, and himself, there are seven other strong individuals from different places.

They all seemed to be visiting the Mythical Battlefield for the first time, so they were all unusually cautious.

As he mingled in the crowd, Zheng Tuo was equally cautious.

In his view, Qian Feng and Sun Yi were clearly lying; all the so-called secret treasures and injuries were fake.

He needed to know what their true purpose was.

Moreover, he needs to understand both of them.

He could have left immediately, but he still wanted to know what the two were up to, because he couldn't afford to leave any future trouble. And so it ended.

The group continued on their way and soon arrived at a grand hall.

The main hall looked dilapidated, and there was nothing usable inside.

But right now.

hum!
A powerful force suddenly descended, trapping everyone present within it.

"No, it's dangerous!"

Qian Feng immediately shouted and turned around to lead everyone away, but it was too late.

The surrounding formations were activated, and instantly an incomparably powerful force descended, targeting and killing everyone present.

Upon seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Incomplete divine array!

Someone had actually set up a flawed divine array here beforehand.

Having explored this far, he turned and moved through the hall, constantly dodging the powerful beams of light that attacked from all around.

period.

A thought struck him as he sensed a familiar presence.

"This is... the power fluctuations of the Undying Mountain!"

Zheng Tuo instantly realized that there were people from the Undying Mountain in this place.

Could it be that Qian Feng has connections with the people of the Undying Mountain?

Thinking of this, he turned around, trying to find Qian Feng's location, but found that Qian Feng had already disappeared, leaving them, a group of powerful individuals, to face the incomplete divine array.

No, this can't go on. If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be in danger too.

His figure flickered as he began searching for a way to break the formation.

Since it is an array, there must be a way to break it, let alone an incomplete divine array. He quickly found the way to break the array.

Just as they were about to break the formation, a dangerous aura suddenly approached.

brush!
Zheng Tuo rolled over to avoid the approaching danger.

Looking up, I saw an old man.

The old man's eyes were bright and piercing, and he exuded an aura of immortality. Clearly, this man was the mastermind behind the incomplete divine array.

"This young friend actually knows about formations!"

When the old man spoke, his voice was astonishing, like that of a demon, and extremely unpleasant to hear.

"People from the Undying Mountain!"

Zheng Tuo asked directly.

"you know too much."

The old man from the Undying Mountain made a move instantly, unleashing several black needle magic weapons.

Sonorous!

A battle blade appeared in Zheng Tuo's hand, and he flipped over to block all the black needles.

"interesting!"

Seeing that his methods had been blocked, the old man from the Undying Mountain did not continue to make a move.

"Gentlemen, it seems you've brought some good goods this time!"

The old man from Immortal Mountain looked at Qian Feng and Sun Yi not far away.

"Elder Ding, you are too kind. We have long since joined the Undying Mountain and are members of it. It is my honor to be able to help Elder Ding today."

Qian Feng had a fawning look on his face, and Sun Yi had a big smile on her face, like a loyal dog.

Seeing their posture, Zheng Tuo had already guessed why they were acting this way.

"Fourteenth Junior Brother, are you very surprised?" Qian Feng turned to look at Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo shook his head. "I'm not surprised by this."

"Not surprising!" Sun Yi exclaimed in surprise!
"You knew all along that we were plotting against you!"

"Ah."

Zheng Tuo nodded in response, indicating that he was fully aware of the information.

"Good lad, you actually dared to follow me even though you knew all along. It seems you're really confident!" Sun Yi felt like she'd been played.

These days, I had intended to use my beauty to seduce Dao Shisi, so that I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of having Elder Ding take action.

Who would have thought that Dao Shisi actually knew everything all along and was deliberately playing a trick on him.

“Your methods are rather crude, I think anyone with a discerning eye would notice,” Zheng Tuo said, glancing into the distance.

The seven powerful figures not far away were powerless against the incomplete divine array, and some of them had already perished. It seemed that they could be wiped out at any moment.

"Dao Shisi, enough nonsense, today is your death day." Qian Feng revealed his killing intent and pointed directly at Zheng Tuo.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious," Zheng Tuo said slowly, "I have no grudge against either of you, so why are you targeting me?"

Faced with such a question, Sun Yi smiled dismissively, "There is no need for any grudges, because you yourself are the prey, just like a hunter in the mountains hunts to survive. What grudge could the creatures in the mountains have against the hunter?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo wholeheartedly agreed.

"Senior Brother Qian Feng, Senior Sister Sun Yi, I know I am no match for you. Before I die, could you tell me why you betrayed the Blade Sect? As far as I know, the Blade Sect is the strongest sect in the current Primordial Immortal Realm. As disciples of the Blade Sect, you two possess such strength, how could you betray the Blade Sect? Could you tell me the truth before I die?"

Zheng Tuo was eager to know what had led them to betray the Sword Sect, because in his view it was completely unnecessary.

"Junior Brother Dao Fourteen, you are so smart, how could you not know the reason behind this?" Sun Yi was dissatisfied with Zheng Tuo, and her words were full of hostility.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"I see. I think the two of you must have encountered some kind of constraint, so you wanted to use the power of the Undying Mountain to help you break through it."

"How did you know?!" Sun Yi exclaimed in surprise!
"It's very simple. The two of you are a Daoist couple but have no children. I think what you have always pursued is power. However, your talents are limited, and it is already difficult to reach your current level. But it is extremely difficult to go further. At this time, someone found you and told you that there is a shortcut. You readily agreed. I think that person who told you about the shortcut should be Elder Ding."

Zheng Tuo looked at the thin Elder Ding.

Elder Ding remained silent, which indicated that Zheng Tuo was right.

"So what if you know? You're going to die here today anyway." Qian Feng's murderous intent surged.

He knew he absolutely could not let Dao Shisi leave alive, otherwise the entire Dao Sect would know about it.

Betraying the Blade Sect would have dire consequences. He believed that he would be placed on the Blade Sect's kill list at that time, and once he was on the kill list, he would surely die.

He joined the Undying Mountain because he needed to survive, as he had a fatal wound and only the Undying Mountain's immortal power could save him.

He had no other choice; otherwise, he wouldn't have betrayed the Blade Sect and helped Elder Ding kill powerful figures here.

Since he had no other choice, he made no choice.

A murderous intent surged within him as he looked at Dao Shisi, ready to strike and kill him at any moment.
