Wild Dogs

"Hey friend, since we're all at a loss, how about we just stop fighting?"

Upon hearing this, the other three snorted coldly.

"Stop now? On what grounds?"

"Didn't you see? The altar was empty. You took the offerings but left nothing behind. How can that be justified?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang shook their heads repeatedly.

"I'm telling you, friend, there's really something wrong with this."

"To be honest, this jade box was empty when we came in. If you don't believe me, you can send someone over to check what's in my storage bag."

Xue Ming spoke calmly, indicating that they should send another person to search the area.

Upon hearing this, the three men had an idea and felt that it might be feasible.

The leading monk was about to step forward when one of his men grabbed him.

"Brother, what are you doing over there?"

"If you go and get killed, wouldn't we be completely finished?"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately realized what was happening.

That's right, how could the other party possibly let him check his storage bag? What if there's something good in the storage bag, and he insists that he got it from that platform? Wouldn't that make things completely unclear?

In this situation, how could the other party possibly let him go over to check? They clearly just wanted to trick him into going there to do something.

Thinking of this, the man immediately retreated in a cold sweat, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Sir, do you still intend to resort to such despicable means?"

Seeing that the man wasn't falling for the trick, Xue Ming couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Interesting. We told you to investigate, but you wouldn't. You insist on saying we took it."

"Get out of the way now, we need to leave."

As they spoke, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang walked outside, but the three of them were unwilling to give up and stayed there to guard the place.

Seeing that the group was locked in a stalemate, Yang Fan couldn't help but secretly hope that the fight would break out and become even more intense.

At that moment, Xue Ming clenched his fist.

"I said, what are you all still talking nonsense about? If we wait any longer, things will get complicated."

As he spoke, he pointed to the altar and then to the outside.

"These cultivators outside will come sooner or later. If you don't move aside, we'll all be blocked here."

Hearing this, the three became even more emboldened.

"Since we've blocked you all here, it's better to block you all here and let others come and fight for it than to let you leave."

These people had already made up their minds: they couldn't get it, and they wouldn't let Xue Ming and Xuan Yang take it away.

Seeing how stubborn these people were, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang were furious, but they were helpless. They were blocked here and had no way to get help.

After a long while, Xue Ming clenched his fists.

"I said there really was nothing on that platform."

"Nothing at all?"

"That's a lie."

"Why don't we go and check it out together? Since this is the core area of ​​the entire Xuan Yuan Secret Realm, there must be secrets inside. It's impossible that there's nothing here."

"I have to check it myself. If you say it's not there, then we'll go over and check it together."

"If there really is nothing there, then it must be because the real secret is hidden below."

"You're not allowed to leave until you give me a clear explanation today."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang were also extremely angry and nodded.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the altar.

"However, let me make this clear: there are layers of trials around this altar. If you cannot pass the altar's trials, there is no way to get close."

Upon hearing this, the three men were startled.

"What kind of test?"

"It's very simple. The altar here is extremely special, and only those with special physical characteristics can approach it."

"The one that just self-destructed was a puppet we created. It had a special physique and could pass through the barriers in front of it."

"Apart from that, all that's left is for my disciple to get close to that side."

As he spoke, he pointed at Yang Fan.

In an instant, everyone's attention turned to Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but grin, realizing he had truly suffered an undeserved misfortune.

"Oh, your disciple, could the item be on him?"

Just then, one of them hurriedly spoke up.

"Hmph, of course not. We got our hands on the jade box, how could he possibly have gotten his?"

As they spoke, the two put their hands behind their backs.

Hearing this, the three were still somewhat doubtful, but the leader immediately raised his hand.

"Alright, I know what to do. The thing can't be on him."

The leader had also figured it out. When they came in, Xue Ming and Xuan Yang were fighting fiercely. If the item was on Yang Fan, those two wouldn't have been in such a hurry to fight.

Moreover, given that the jade box the two men had just thrown over was indeed priceless, they could tell from the jade box that the contents inside must be quite valuable.

"If you say no, then let's go take a look together."

The three snorted coldly, then gestured for them to come over together.

Seeing this, Xue Ming nodded.

"Alright, let's go over there and see what you have to say then."

As he spoke, he gestured for the other person to follow him toward the altar.

In an instant, the group walked toward the altar in unison, glancing at each other warily as they went.

Seeing that the group was heading towards the altar and not paying attention to him, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Xue Ming suddenly spoke.

"Disciple, you come along too."

Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but grin. Clearly, Xue Ming had figured it out. If they couldn't get into the altar, he would definitely make Yang Fan search the area around the altar again.

After a while, Xue Ming and the three others had reached the area around the altar.

Just then, Xue Ming and the others simultaneously felt an immense pressure pressing down on them, pinning them to the spot and rendering them unable to move.

"See? I wasn't wrong, was I? I told you there was nothing in there."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of these men turned extremely ugly.

"How could there be nothing at all?"

Then he looked at Yang Fan.

"Kid, go inside and see if it was you who did this."

The man pointed at Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan looked at Xue Ming with fear, his mind racing as he pondered what to do next.

Seeing Yang Fan looking at him, Xue Ming nodded.

"Disciple, go to the altar and see what's going on."

Then Yang Fan walked into the altar.

Seeing Yang Fan walk in smoothly, the expressions on the faces of these men turned grim.

"What kind of place is this? How can a weak cultivator like him be allowed in, while we powerful cultivators can't?"
