Chapter 123: Forbidden Region
“Hey!”
“Be careful!”
The other person seemed to have pulled Yuwen Changtian away, and they fell into silence all of a sudden.
In the instant his fist hit the wall, Shang Xia felt a trace of light illuminating his sleeves.
Shang Xia couldn\'t be bothered with the flash of light at all. When Yuwen Changtian hit the wall, his heart leaped into his throat.
He didn’t know what was happening outside, and neither did he know why Yuwen Changtian hit the wall. He could only pray that they didn’t discover his presence.
“Brother Danran, what’s wrong?”
Murong Danran, the other person who pulled Yuwen Changtian away earlier, explained, “This is the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World. It’s a region located in the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Formation. It’s said that it’s one of the four spiritual lands in the Zhu Family Mysterious Coral World! As the grand formation had weakened, the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World was revealed and it’s where we are right now.”
“Mysterious Coral World? The Zhu Family possessed their own mysterious world?”
Murong Danran hadn’t completed what he wanted to say when he was interrupted by Yuwen Changtian.
He continued his explanation, “That’s right. The Zhu Family wasn’t hailed as the strongest power in the You Continent for nothing! It\'s not surprising for them to possess their own mysterious world…”
Yuwen Changtian was too stunned to speak. As Murong Danran continued, “In fact, the entire Coral Forest came from the Zhu Family’s Mysterious Coral World. In the past, the Zhu Family still had control over their territory and the Coral Forest was hidden from the world. Today, all of them are dead and there’s no one capable of maintaining their formations. The Coral Forest was revealed to the world. Even though the formations are no longer working, the Coral Forest still contains a lot of mysteries hidden by the Zhu Family. Not even Fourth Order Primary Realm experts can enter as they wish.
“Brother Murong, how did you learn all these?” Yuwen Changtian asked suddenly.
Murong Danran chuckled in response, “Relax. I heard all these from the various elders. Because of my talent in formations, the ancestor of my family taught me about the Coral Forest.”
Yuwen Changtian praised, “Brother Murong, I really admire you… It’s no wonder you would receive more information from the elders in your clan. You are knowledgeable indeed!”
“Brother Changtian exaggerates!” Murong Danran waved his hands in response before adding, “We cannot underestimate the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Formation. Even though it lost its power for quite some time now, the foundation of the formation is still active. It might counterattack when faced with a threat. That’s why we shouldn’t go around hitting things.”
Yuwen Changtian finally realized how rash he was and he quickly heaved a sigh of relief, “The light that appeared when I hit the wall…”
Shang Xia might not be able to see their expressions, but he could estimate what was going on outside.
“That’s right. Luckily, the formation on this wall only stopped you from damaging it. It didn’t actually counterattack. Brother Changtian, please be careful around here. No… In fact, please be cautious when dealing with anything in the Coral Forest. The Zhu Family controlled this region for countless years, and there might be a lot of hidden dangers lying around.”
“I’ll heed Brother Danran’s advice then! Many thanks!” Yuwen Changtian thanked Murong Danran before asking, “Then… What is our current goal? Are we here to hunt down the rank three undead corpse?”
“I can’t hide anything from Brother Changtian!” Murong Danran chuckled. “Even though the Vermillion Plaque rarely appeared in the past, it\'s the key to opening the manor. We’ve been here for so long, and other than killing the disciples Liu Jitang abandoned, we managed to obtain three of them.”
“This… Brother Danran, is your real goal the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World?” Yuwen Changtian guessed.
Murong Danran chuckled in response, “Since Brother Changtian managed to guess my true goal, I won’t hide it anymore. My real goal isn’t the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World either. It’s the Fantasy Spiritual Pearl!”
“Fantasy Spiritual Pearl?”
Another voice appeared all of a sudden.
“What\'s the Fantasy Spiritual Pearl?”
Shang Xia’s heart trembled slightly. It seemed as though a change happened outside.
“Young Lady Like of the Sima Family… Hahaha, We’ve been waiting for quite some time now.” Yuwen Changtian said.
Shang Xia’s heart sank as Murong Danran repeated everything to the newcomer.
“The moment we find the Fantasy Spiritual Pearl, we should be able to find the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Diagram! Then, we’ll be able to control the Mountain and Sea Fantasy Spiritual World!”
Murong Danran declared confidently.
In the hidden room, Shang Xia’s heart thumped in his chest. He brought out the scroll from his sleeves slowly.
He finally discovered that there was a spot on the scroll that lit up. However, the glow quickly died.
Shang Xia gasped. Did the spot on the map show the location where Yuwen Changtian struck the wall?
If that was really the case, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to leave the area!
Murong Danran’s explanation had been happily taken in by Shang Xia while he hid in the hidden room beside them.
After he was done explaining the second time, he discovered an unnatural expression on Yuwen Changtian’s face.
“Brother Changtian, what’s wrong?”
Waving his hand slightly, Yuwen Changtian asked, “I’m not questioning your ability, but why would the elders entrust such a large task to us cultivators at the Martial Extremity Realm? This seems a little out of our abilities.”
Sima Like spoke before Murong Danran could say anything. “They have no choice. Brother Changtian, you should know that the beast tide around the Coral Forest had already subsided. The cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World and the Azure Origin World should be making their way here as we speak. We don’t have enough manpower in the battlefield between the two worlds to do much. The real experts on our side have to suppress Liu Jitang and consider many other things. It’s no wonder they left us with such a huge task.”
Murong Danran smiled. “Young Lady Like is right. The pearl might be special, but we can suppress it with moonlight. The disciples of the Tongyou Institution at the Martial Extremity Realm have already been dragged to the Zhu Family Manor by Liu Jitang. We won’t have to worry about the rest.”
Yuwen Changtian sighed, “Brother Murong, did you forget what happened to the two of them? We can’t even find their corpse at the moment…”
“What happened to the two of them?” Sima Like asked.
