Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 152 Investigation

after.

The original Blood Moon phenomenon is now the entrance to the Hall of Longevity.

Before the Heavenly Bone Steel.

Teng Xie held the Lonely Question Spear in his hand, with Indigo Feather Wind Lotus standing beside him.

Brother Fenglian, do you still remember that I was once a fierce general who used a long weapon?

"Ah, General, you've confused me with Su Huanzhen again, haven't you?"

Teng Xie replied, "No, I just wanted to see how much of Su Huanzhen's memories you have."

After spending more time together, Teng Xie discovered that Dian Yu Feng Lian inherited more of Su Huan Zhen's positive attitude and humorous side, but didn't have many real memories, or rather, didn't show many.

Feng Lian's martial arts skills are very good, similar to the White-Haired Swordsman, but he doesn't have much of Su Huanzhen's miscellaneous knowledge, nor does he have Su Huanzhen's unfathomable wisdom. He is basically a level below Su Huanzhen, a wise man one level below him.

Adding to the issue of the Mo Yuan Water Lotus, Teng Xie couldn't help but think that if the three lotuses were to merge into one, Su Huanzhen might encounter some other problems.

Teng Xie dismissed his thoughts unrelated to the present moment. He had previously given the Knowledge Dragon the information about the Hall of Longevity that the Seven-Skill Divine Camel had learned: a terrifying and bizarre modification room, a place that might be an official residence, and a passage leading to the outside world.

Shi Nenglong then invited Dianyu Fenglian to come and investigate.

Shi Nenglong originally intended to throw the Lonely Question Spear himself to shatter the Heavenly Bone Steel, as a way of greeting the Hall of Longevity—he hadn't forgotten the damage the Hall of Longevity had caused to the City of Immortality, and he was also well aware that the Hall of Longevity would not give up on seizing the Divine Spring of Immortality.

However, Teng Xie suggested that he and Feng Lian make the trip, as he was also somewhat interested in the Hall of Longevity.

Teng Xie was interested, but not in a cooperative way, which Shi Nenglong was naturally very happy about, so he handed the Lonely Question Spear to Teng Xie.

Brother Fenglian, get ready, I'm about to begin.

Teng Xie spoke calmly, his body surging with black energy, which then flowed into the spearhead. He spun around, gathered his strength, and with a counterattack, stabbed the spearhead fiercely into the Heavenly Bone Steel!

Ding!

With a crisp sound, sparks shot out, but there was no explosive burst of energy. Instead, Teng Xie poured all his strength into the Heavenly Bone Steel. With that crisp sound, everything was gone.

But only a breath had passed.

With a whoosh, dense black lines appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Bone Steel, followed by countless cracks, and then the Heavenly Bone Steel shattered into countless fragments and fell to the ground.

Once the Heavenly Bone Steel disappeared, a dark entrance that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance was revealed. Just as Teng Xie and Feng Lian were about to enter, a beam of light shot towards them, transforming into an elegant and handsome figure.

"As expected of the Demon Realm War Commander, this move is truly breathtaking. Is this Indigo Feather Wind Lotus? I am Nine Chapters Hidden Treasure, a mere wandering swordsman. I have just met you both."

Who asked you? Teng Xie sensed the other party's surface aura containing a pure and holy Buddhist energy, and the unfathomable and powerful foundation beneath that surface aura. His heart stirred. You have finally arrived. Without you, this would not be a great show.

"That's easy."

After the two greeted Jiuzhang Fuzang, Fenglian asked, "What brings you here, sir?"

Nine Chapters Hidden Treasure gently waved his sandalwood fan and smiled with an air of elegance. "I am merely curious about the Hall of Longevity. Are you two going to explore it? I've heard that the Hall of Longevity is extremely eerie, so please be careful."

"Oh, thank you for the reminder, Brother Jiuzhang. Why don't we investigate together? That way we can look out for each other."

"Alright, I was just afraid of causing you both trouble and didn't know how to ask. Since you've invited me, I'll do my best."

Let's go.

Teng Xie sheathed his Lonely Questioning Spear and took the lead, flashing into the entrance.

He had no intention of making a big fuss. He had many plans for the Hall of Longevity, and there was no need to force them into a corner and do something he didn't want to see.

His purpose in coming here is to "desensitize" the other party, to get them used to his involvement in the conflict between the two cities—but he will not deeply intervene as the Demon Realm War Commander. He will only make a brief appearance, like this time, to convince the Hall of Longevity that the Demon Realm will not mobilize its entire force.

Teng Xie soon entered a cave tunnel, which should have been inside the mountain—but in reality, that was not the case.

He hadn't gone far when he lost sight of Feng Lian and Jiu Zhang Fu Cang, and found himself alone in a maze of interconnected tunnels.

He knew he was trapped in the formation.

This formation is quite remarkable, on par with the Mind-Probing Formation of the Immortal City—Teng Xie couldn't help but wonder how every organization could be so proficient in formations, except for the Demon Realm, which relied solely on spatial passages as barriers.

Okay, spatial channels and spatial secret techniques are impressive, but Teng Xie isn't at the level where he can easily break the array in front of him. He can't show off, which is a bit annoying.

However, he wasn't there to show off; what if he scared the people of the Changsheng Palace?

Moreover, with his clone technique, he could enter the Hall of Longevity very soon, so there was no need for him to discover anything this time.

However, it's still necessary to do some pre-reading.

Tengxie strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk, casually choosing one branch cave after another—as if he had already fallen into a secret formation, but was just putting on a show.

Suddenly, streams of red mist poured out from the openings. Teng Xie sensed that the mist was composed of even smaller red viper insects.

call.

Suddenly, a layer of black flames ignited around Teng Xie's body, and the red mist acted as fuel, igniting the black flames and making them even more intense.

Beneath the black flames, Teng Xie also ignited the flame of his sixth sense, and a surge of spiritual energy erupted, instantly bringing to mind the panoramic view of the tunnel maze.

Cunning fellows—Tengxie sensed that this maze was only about a hundred feet in circumference, but it was set up with a strange formation that made those trapped inside keep going in circles, as if it were endless.

Beyond the maze lies a wide passage leading to a vast stone chamber. The entire Hall of Longevity was carved out of the mountain. However, beyond the mountain lies a vast expanse of crimson mist, indicating that the Hall of Longevity has an even larger area. But if they continue to explore, the spiritual energy released by Teng Xie will be sensed by the people of the Hall of Longevity.

"Then let's leave it for next time —" Teng Xie activated his power, projecting a stream of true essence that passed directly through the formation and echoed in the passage leading to the Hall of Longevity. "Everyone, see you next time."

Before he finished speaking, Teng Xie's body rippled and he disappeared into the maze.

The original shore of Blood Lake.

When Teng Xie emerged from the entrance, Indigo Feather Wind Lotus and Nine Chapters Hidden Treasures were already waiting there.

"I'm a step too late, I've kept you both waiting."

Feng Lian said, "I just came out too. What about you, Brother Jiu Zhang?"

The "hidden" in "Nine Chapters of Hidden Treasures" probably means "hiding skill in clumsiness." He said with an embarrassed look, "I came out a long time ago. The maze inside was too complicated. I was afraid of getting trapped in it, so I withdrew as soon as possible. What about you, Brother Fenglian?"

Feng Lian shook her head. "Although I passed through the maze, I was discovered as soon as I reached the outer edge, and I was unable to find any useful information. What about Zhan Shuai?"

Of
