I picked up the scattered attributes

"Gentlemen, ring the bell."

……

Chapter 0839

A single chime pierced through space.

Even the land-based Shenzhou, which could move freely through dangerous places, could not escape the invisible and intangible bell tolling. It suffered a severe injury on the spot and rolled away like a bucket.

Not to mention the people inside the cabin.

The outer defenses of the flying boat were shattered in an instant. Even though the remaining core formations barely managed to block the impact, the terrifying vibrations that directly acted on the boat could not be neutralized out of thin air.

The boat trembled, as if resonating with the sound of bells.

Being inside the ship's cabin was like being inside a giant bell; the sound waves vibrated and the space was crushed, shaking their internal organs out of place, yet there was nowhere to escape!

After that, Master Ziyang's calm laughter followed:

"Gentlemen, ring the bell."

A group of people looked at each other.

Are they left with no choice but to comply?

This feeling isn't very pleasant!

Especially since they had long been determined to obtain the Hun Tian Fruit before this, the appearance of the mysterious forbidden area seemed to make their goal seem incredibly distant in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Bu Shengyan turned to look at Taigong Si. She saw that the old man did not seem to have suffered much damage in the impact just now, except that his clothes were a little disheveled.

Taigong Si stared at the mountain gate for a long time, as if searching for something. After a while, he shook his head solemnly: "If it is just that secret land, I still have a way to break its restrictions."

The moment those words were spoken, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

However, An Xian and Xie Fan were still unwilling to give up and gritted their teeth to ask, "Senior Grandfather, you are a rare array master. You must have a way to deal with the restrictions on this mountain gate, right?"

"Rare and precious materials belong to the capable, even in ancient forbidden lands..."

"It is beyond our ability to defeat."

Taigong continued to shake his head.

Finally, he added a few more words: "Invincible."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed again.

Invincible.

Invincible.

It may seem like only a one-word difference, but when spoken by an elder like Taigong Si, especially in this context, it immediately takes on a different meaning.

"Unable to be defeated by force" means that it is impossible to confront them head-on.

"So, what does 'invincible' mean?"

There's simply no way to fight against it!

There won't even be the slightest chance!

"We've come this far, how can we give up now?"

Among the crowd, Xie Fan was the first to grit his teeth and step off the Land Travel Divine Ship. He glanced at Daoist Ziyang before bracing himself and walking toward the Inquiry Bell.

Master Ziyang chuckled and said, "Please."

"Very well, I'd like to see what this is all about!"

With everyone watching, Xie Fan had nowhere to retreat. He became desperate and drew out a pair of gold and silver maces. A divine bridge appeared behind his head, pushing his power to its peak!

"Fellow Daoist, watch closely. My power, even among demigods, can be considered overwhelmingly superior—"

The double maces, like two long dragons gnawing and devouring, slammed fiercely into the Dao Asking Bell.

But nothing happened.

The Inquiry Bell didn't even tremble; it remained motionless in mid-air, as if dead, silently mocking Xie Fan's weakness.

Xie Fan's face instantly turned purple.

"What's going on? Why didn't the bell ring?"

"Could it be that the method of ringing the bell is incorrect?"

On the land-based Shenzhou spacecraft, the bewildered crowd whispered among themselves.

Even though Xie Fan didn't use his full power, his attack was still quite impressive. Even a demigod of the same level wouldn't dare to underestimate it.

The results of it?

That bell didn't even bother to move!

"This...this isn't...something's gone wrong?"

Xie Fan managed to squeeze out a sentence with great difficulty.

Although he wasn't a top-tier demigod, he was still considered a formidable powerhouse. In the Land Divine Ship behind him, there were his subordinates and other competitors watching!

He never expected to be in such an embarrassing situation.

"Fellow Daoist, let's try again."

A hint of doubt flashed in Ziyang Daoist's eyes, but he still spoke with a faint smile.

He also had some questions in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Xie Fan, Xie Fan's strength was roughly equal to his own. If Xie Fan could shake the Dao Asking Bell, then Xie Fan certainly could too.

The bell remained completely still. Could it be that Xie Fan's seemingly fierce attack was actually achieved without any real force?

"Never mind, that person must have made arrangements. I just need to act; I don't need to think too much." Soon, Daoist Ziyang shook his head gently.

"Then... I'll try again!"

Having used almost all his strength, Xie Fan, one of the five leaders of Guanglingxuan, barely managed to squeeze out those words before picking up his golden and silver maces again.

"Flash—Air—Slash—"

The twin maces, like twin dragons striking the sky, soared to the heavens and tore through the air!

hum-

This time, the Inquiry Bell finally shook slightly, emitting a barely perceptible hum.

"This……"

Xie Fan's face flushed red once again.

Daoist Ziyang also had a strange expression. When did this Daoist Inquiry Bell become so cumbersome?

Only one person in the cabin had his pupils slightly constricted, as if he had thought of some possibility.

"Lord Xia Beihai...is that you?" Yao Wenhua asked blankly.

However, the reason he was brought here was purely as a form of humiliation, and therefore he was restricted from all speech and action; he could only look, but could not speak or move!

Seeing Xie Fan in such a sorry state, Yao Wenhua's face showed a hint of mockery.

At the Guanglingxuan headquarters, how powerful and domineering these people were!

Not only are they domineering, but they also take betrayal for granted, making it sound incredibly high-sounding!

But when faced with a truly strong opponent, they can only obediently suffer defeat and dare not utter a word of anger!

"You've finally met your match!"

"Ah... Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, let me take a look..."

Daoist Ziyang glanced at the Inquiry Bell a few more times, and seeing Xie Fan's increasingly dark expression, he finally nodded with slight hesitation: "You should be considered to have passed the test. Fellow Daoist Xie Fan, please enter the mountain."

A long bridge of divine light rolled down from inside the mountain gate and came to Xie Fan's feet.

Does that count as passing?

Xie Fan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Especially the gazes coming from behind him, as scorching as flames, made his face feel like it was on fire!

Upon seeing the long bridge appear, he stepped onto it almost without thinking and headed towards the gate of Qianqiu Valley without looking back.

Staying here for even a moment longer would give him the urge to smash his head against a wall and die!

Xie Fan had just stepped into the gate of Qianqiu Valley when he suddenly heard a series of bells ringing behind him!

Bang, bang, bang—

Shocking and enlightening!

At the same time, the slightly surprised and doubtful voice of Daoist Ziyang also reached his ears:

"Ah, sorry, sorry. Our treasure is a bit old and in disrepair, and its response is not very sensitive. There might have been a slight delay just now, but it should be fine this time."

"The delay is too big &!@%＃……&"

Xie Fan's vision went black again.
