You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 235 The Heavenly Road is a Trap

Chen Yang looked at the dozen or so spirit stones in Jiang He's hand and took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage bag.

There were dozens of these spirit stones, and they were purer than the spirit stones in Jiang He's hands.

"This……"

Jiang He's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Commander Chen, how do you have so many spirit stones?"

"Oh, these? I obtained them from our sect."

Chen Yang smiled and said casually.

I didn't tell him the truth.

"These should be enough."

Chen Yang weighed it in his hand, then took half of it and handed it to Jiang He: "Minister Jiang, let's each take half and place it at the node of the formation."

"it is good!"

Jiang He took the spirit stone, nodded, and said, "That's enough!"

"let's start."

Without further delay, the two immediately split up and took action.

With the help of his keen eyesight, Chen Yang quickly located the key point of the formation.

Jiang He also used his experience to find the key points.

"Here's one."

After placing a spirit stone, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've finished searching here too!"

Not far away, Jiang He also wiped his sweat.

"Are you all ready?"

Chen Yang stood up and looked at Jiang He.

Jiang He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Ready!"

"it is good!"

"I'll inspire it."

Chen Yang nodded, and the Pure Subtle Primordial Descent Technique began to circulate within his body.

"rise!"

He let out a sudden, low growl.

"Buzz!"

The spirit stone, infused with spiritual energy, was instantly activated.

A dazzling light shot out from the spirit stone.

These rays of light intertwine to form a curtain of light.

It enveloped the entire valley.

"Boom."

The entire valley began to shake.

Jiang He stood at the edge of the formation, sensing the spiritual energy before him.

The light from the spirit stone grew stronger and stronger, and it began to impact the formation.

Suddenly, all the light converged.

"boom."

Then, it suddenly poured down again.

A beam of light shot into the sky.

"Look!"

Jiang He looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yang also looked up.

Above that towering pillar of light.

It formed a vortex in the night sky.

The vortex swirled slowly.

At the same time, it absorbs the surrounding clouds.

The surrounding trees began to gather in this direction.

The vortex's suction force grew stronger and stronger, drawing in the surrounding sand and gravel.

"not good!"

Jiang He's body involuntarily rose upwards, and he hurriedly channeled his spiritual energy to try and resist.

Chen Yang also felt the powerful suction.

The spiritual energy within the body circulated rapidly, resisting the attack.

But the power of this vortex was too strong.

"Buzz!"

The vortex suddenly began to spin faster.

"what!"

Jiang He cried out in surprise, and his whole body was uncontrollably thrown into the air.

Chen Yang was the same.

"Minister Jiang!"

Chen Yang shouted and tried to reach out to pull Jiang He.

So he flew up as well.

"Chen Shuai! Don't come any closer."

Jiang He quickly stopped him.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Chen Yang was also caught in a situation beyond his control.

"call!"

They were eventually sucked into the vortex.

I do not know how long it has been.

Chen Yang regained consciousness.

"hiss."

The sound of a river could be heard nearby.

"thump!"

Chen Yang felt as if he had descended to the underground and stomped his feet hard on the ground.

Jiang He landed at the same time and looked around: "Phew, we're inside?"

It wasn't that dark here; in fact, there was a sliver of light.

They were in a passageway.

This passage stretches forward.

On both sides are rock walls that have been carved out by people.

"This is... the interior of the Heavenly Road?"

The river murmured to itself.

He had only read about it in ancient books, but had never actually been there.

"Look ahead."

Chen Yang was drawn to the place at the end of the passage.

Several hundred meters away from them, a stone door appeared at the end of the passage.

This stone gate is several tens of feet high.

It is also more than ten zhang wide.

There are inscriptions on the stone gate.

"This is……"

Jiang He also saw the stone door, walked over to Chen Yang, and pointed at the stone door: "Look, that stone door!"

"Just like the records in the ancient books, this should be the Gate to Heaven."

Chen Yang stared at the massive stone gate.

"That's how they got in, right?"

He pointed to the stone gate and said in a deep voice.

Jiang He nodded and replied, "That's right! The ancient texts say that the Gate of Heaven connects the two realms!"

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Well then, since we're here today, let's try to break down this door and destroy it completely!"

"Make sure these people can never pass through here again!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He shook his head: "Commander Chen, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"As far as I know, he cannot destroy this Gate to Heaven."

"Oh? Why?"

Chen Yang turned to look at him, a puzzled expression on his face.

Jiang He turned around and said, "Because this door can repair itself!"

"Self-repair?"

Chen Yang's eyes widened.

"Yes!"

Jiang He nodded affirmatively and continued, "The ancient texts say that this formation itself is a magic array. I don't know the specifics, but it really can self-repair."

Chen Yang fell silent upon hearing this.

I never expected that this door would have such an ability.

"Chen Shuai, look here!"

While he remained silent, Jiang He came forward and pointed to a spot on the ground.

He beckoned Chen Yang over.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yang walked over and looked down in the direction Jiang He was pointing.

There were several rows of footprints in the dust on the ground.

These footprints all point towards the stone gate.

"These footprints..."

Chen Yang squatted down and observed carefully.

Looking up at the stone gate, he said, "Judging from these marks, they must have been left recently. Most likely, they were left by members of the Wang family and those who colluded with them, passing through here."

Jiang He stared at the footprints, gritted his teeth, and said, "It must be them. Let's go check it out."

"it is good."

Chen Yang nodded and stood up.

"Walk."

Without further hesitation, the two walked one after the other toward the stone gate.

When they arrived at the stone gate, their brows furrowed even more as they looked at the scene before them.

More than a dozen corpses lay scattered in front of the stone gate.

"Isn't this the Wang family's patriarch? How could he have died here?"

When Jiang He arrived, he immediately recognized one of them: "And the Xu family's patriarch, how did they all die here?"

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the stone gate.

The stone door is tightly closed!
He had previously assumed that since the Wang family patriarch and his group had passed through here, the stone gate must be open.

At the very least, there should be traces of it being opened.

But now it appears that the stone gate is intact and has not been opened at all.

"Ok?"

Chen Yang frowned, suddenly thinking of a question.

To verify his guess, he picked up a stone from the ground.

He channeled his spiritual energy and threw it over.

"Whoosh!"

The stone flew towards the stone gate.

"Chen Shuai, what are you doing?"

Jiang He was startled by Chen Yang, but it was too late to stop him. "Buzz!"

Just as the stone was about to hit the stone gate.

The inscriptions on the stone gate suddenly lit up.

"not good!"

Chen Yang and Jiang He hurriedly retreated.

"call out!"

A blinding beam of light shot out from the stone gate.

It struck the flying stone in the blink of an eye.

"Oh!"

With a soft sound, the stone instantly vaporized.

Disappear.

Then the light from the stone gate faded away.

Restore calm.

"hiss……"

Jiang He gasped: "This is probably how these people were killed by the stone gate!"

"It's really not simple."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, and his eagle eyes were activated once again.

After a moment, Chen Yang slowly spoke: "There are complex array formations and restrictions on this stone gate."

"Once a person or object opens the stone door, the restriction will be triggered, and a counterattack will be launched."

"The wounds on these corpses are similar to those from the attack just now."

"This gate to heaven is a death trap."

Jiang He exclaimed in surprise.

"This gate to heaven is a trap."

Chen Yang nodded and spoke slowly.

Jiang He looked at the corpses with lingering fear, then looked at them again: "Yes, who could have imagined it would turn out like this."

Chen Yang sighed: "But it doesn't matter anymore."

"Chen Shuai, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang He turned to look at Chen Yang, a look of confusion on his face.

"Minister Jiang, what era are we living in now?"

Chen Yang did not respond, but instead asked a question.

"This is an era of spiritual revival."

Jiang He didn't understand, but he still responded.

"That's right!"

Chen Yang nodded in agreement, a solemn expression on his face: "This is the era of spiritual energy revival! The spiritual energy in the world is growing stronger and stronger!"

"This so-called Heavenly Gate leads to places like this where you eat!"

"But now the spiritual energy here is enough for us to cultivate."

"So, what's the point of going through this stone gate or not?"

"We can cultivate here too!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang He looked relieved: "Commander Chen, you're right!"

"exactly."

Chen Yang nodded, smiled, and said.

Jiang He understood what he meant and smiled, "Then let's go back?"

Chen Yang did not answer immediately, but looked at the stone gate again, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He had already seen through the restrictions on the stone gate.

With the help of a keen eye, it is possible to pass.

What would you see if you opened this door?
After a moment, Chen Yang regained his composure.

He decided to keep this secret for the time being.

"Okay, let's go back."

Finally, he nodded and looked at the river.

Seeing that Chen Yang agreed, Jiang He laughed loudly: "Good! Then let's leave this godforsaken place."

The two did not linger.

Turn around and walk back along the path you came from.

Soon, they returned to the pitch-black space.

"This is it."

Chen Yang stopped and looked around.

Jiang He stopped too: "Commander Chen, how do we get back?"

Chen Yang looked around and then said, "There are also formations here."

"There's an array here too?"

Jiang He stared wide-eyed at his surroundings: "But I didn't see anything."

"This formation is even more concealed, and it is difficult to discover without careful investigation."

Chen Yang smiled slightly, having already subtly activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth: "We can just activate the formation again and go back."

He then took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage bag.

Although the quantity wasn't as large as before, there were still a good twenty or thirty pieces.

Jiang He looked at the spirit stones that had reappeared in Chen Yang's hand and couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "Commander Chen, how come you have so many spirit stones?"

Just now in the valley, Chen Yang took out dozens of spirit stones, which already shocked Jiang He.

Chen Yang looked at Jiang He and said with a smile, "I obtained all of these from our sect."

"Come on, let's hurry, it's probably already dawn outside."

"Put one here."

He quickly directed the river to begin releasing spirit stones.

More than ten minutes later.

The two stopped.

"Everything is ready."

Chen Yang clapped his hands and beckoned to Jiang He: "Minister Jiang, stand next to me."

"it is good!"

Jiang He dared not delay and returned to Chen Yang's side once again.

"rise!"

Chen Yang exerted force with both palms, circulating the energy technique.

Rekindle the spiritual energy.

"Buzz!"

This time, after the formation was activated, it formed ribbons of light.

It started spinning around the two of them.

Jiang He felt dizzy as the world spun around him, and his body was slowly lifted up.

I instinctively closed my eyes.

Chen Yang also narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of going with the flow.

"call!"

The two then disappeared again from this spot.

"thump!"

After a while, the two of them fell out together.

Chen Yang and Jiang He stumbled and found themselves falling on the grass.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang He coughed twice and opened his eyes.

Chen Yang slowly opened his eyes and observed his surroundings.

The surrounding area consisted of familiar mountains and forests, as well as loose stones.

Clearly, it's the valley where we entered.

"We're back?"

Jiang He looked relieved.

"Well, I'm back."

Chen Yang nodded, his gaze fixed on the woods ahead: "Let's go, it's already dawn."

"Go check on the people we arranged, see how they are doing."

What he's worried about now is what might happen to these people.

"it is good!"

Jiang He nodded and followed him outside.

The two walked out of the valley one after the other.

As soon as they came out, two figures quickly emerged from behind the hidden trees; they were the team members who had been left outside to provide backup.

"Minister Jiang! Marshal Chen!"

"You can figure it out."

Upon seeing Jiang He and Chen Yang, the two immediately came to greet them.

Jiang He stopped and asked in a deep voice, "What happened outside after we left?"

"Minister Jiang, everything is normal!"

One of the team members answered respectfully.

"Minister Jiang, don't worry."

"That team was probably the strongest. After we killed them, they shouldn't come back anytime soon."

Chen Yang, however, seemed completely unconcerned and said with a smile.

"you're right."

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

Chen Yang glanced at the sky and then said, "Let's go back first."

"it is good."

Jiang He responded and then said to the two team members, "You two continue patrolling here. Once you've confirmed it's safe, you can rejoin the patrol team and leave."

"Yes!"

After the two team members agreed, they left again.

Jiang He and Chen Yang exchanged a glance and continued walking outside.

More than half an hour later, we arrived at the highway.

Several cars are already parked here.

Upon seeing the car, Jiang He relaxed.

He turned to Chen Yang and asked, "Commander Chen, should we fly back directly, or take a car?"

“We’ll go straight back to your Special Administration Bureau! Taking a car is too slow.”

Chen Yang looked at the cars and decided to fly back.

"it is good!"

Jiang He agreed without hesitation.

"Let's go back and report on this matter."
