Chapter 956: Endless Traps (Please Subscribe)_1

Subsequently, Xu Sheng and the Wei Family Disciples continued to walk along the dimly lit corridor...

Faintly visible, the walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with crimson stripes and made of strangely-shaped stones, exuding an extremely eerie aura...

The pupils of the Wei Family Disciples flickered with a touch of curiosity...

One of the disciples, eager to test, spoke up, "These stones are so strange, almost as if they're alive. Could they also be some kind of treasure?"

Another disciple scolded coldly, "Don't just touch anything recklessly! Don't forget what happened before!"

"It was because of those few guys that we fell into that desperate situation. If it weren't for Brother Xu, I'm afraid we might have had to stay within that restriction for the rest of our lives!"

"Exactly, if anyone wants to die, just say so, don't drag everyone else down!"

The few disciples who had been about to reach out and touch the stones quickly shrank back upon hearing this, evidently scared...

Xu Sheng stared at the stones on the wall, his ink-colored pupils flickered once, as he too sensed something was off about these stones...

Following that, he slowly extended his hand to touch them...

The disciples next to Xu Sheng were quite surprised to see this action,"Brother Xu, what are you doing...?"

They didn't think Xu Sheng was the impulsive type; he must have his reasons for doing this!

Sure enough, before they had finished speaking, a bizarre scene unfolded. Xu Sheng's fingertips, which had touched the stones, emitted a "putt" sound as if skin was being torn, and crimson blood flowed out...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng's dark pupils contracted sharply as he said coldly, "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

No sooner had he spoken than he, without any hesitation, instantly unleashed a terrifying Spirit Force Fluctuation and rushed towards the rear...

This corridor, there's something off about it!!

Upon witnessing Xu Sheng's actions, most of the Wei Family Disciples followed suit almost without thinking, longing to escape the pitch-black corridor...

However, a small number of Wei Family Disciples were left with confusion written on their faces...

They voiced their doubts, "Why retreat? There's nothing wrong with this path!"

"Yeah, isn't Brother Xu being too cautious??"

"It's fine, let's just keep going, Brother Xu is probably just being too sensitive!"

But before they could say more, the entire corridor suddenly shook violently, and the walls on both sides began to close in at an alarming speed...

Xu Sheng, who was running frantically, looked ahead at the ever-narrowing exit and involuntarily bit his thin lips...

Speeding up once again with the Wei Family Disciples behind him, they escaped from the corridor just before the entrance sealed shut...

A loud "BANG!!!" echoed through the space...

The entire corridor had completely closed in on itself...

Seeing this terrifying scene, the Wei Family Disciples who had survived felt a cold breath draw in their throats...

Had they hesitated even slightly when hearing Xu Sheng's words, they likely would've lost their chance to live!

One of the disciples swallowed hard and said, trembling, "My God, this... there are traps in a place like this?? Is this really just a Secret Realm?"

Another disciple said angrily, "This is not a Secret Realm; it's a place designed for killing!"

"No wonder so few disciples make it back from the Secret Realm; it's simply no place for humans!!"

At the same time, some were also angry at those dead disciples for not heeding Xu Sheng's warning...

"Damn it, why did those guys have to hesitate? Now, look, they've been crushed into a pulp by this horrific force!"

"Hey, there were six disciples who stayed in the corridor just now, I'm afraid they're all..."

"They are dead, so be it! With such slow reactions, they probably wouldn't have survived long anyway!"

The disciple closest to Xu Sheng said with gratitude in his eyes, "Brother Xu, you've saved us once again!"

Xu Sheng merely glanced at him indifferently and calmly said, "This path seems impassable; we must enter deeper through another passage!"

If it weren't for needing them as guinea pigs to test the traps of the Secret Realm, he would have abandoned these Wei Family disciples long ago.

As for saving them, he only hoped they could die a death of value....

...

Elsewhere, the disciples of the Lin Family and Xu Family had already left....

All the disciples started to discuss.…

"Do you think those Wei Family disciples are still trapped in the restriction?"

"Definitely, wasn't that restriction set up by themselves? Otherwise, why would they hunker down inside!

"Are you really that naive, or just pretending? With the Cultivation Level of the Wei Family disciples, how could they set it up? They're clearly trapped by the traps of the Secret Realm!!"

"So that's it, no wonder they asked us to cease our attack. I see now! Damn it, we've inadvertently helped those guys!"

Lin Mo glanced coldly at Xu Peng beside him and said in a cold voice, "Tell the disciples to retreat, are you not afraid that those Wei Family folks will escape the restriction?!"

That man leading the Wei Family disciples... he inspired dread in the depths of his heart....

Especially the ability to adapt swiftly! Only in hindsight did he realize they had fallen into the opponent's trap!

Xu Peng, not angry but amused, said, "Afraid? Why should we be afraid? Are the two great Families allied not rivals for the Wei Family?"

Shifting tone, he spoke again, "Besides, had we not left earlier, with the disciples drained of Spiritual Power, it would've been impossible to kill those Wei Family people!"

Hearing this explanation, Lin Mo fell silent....

Seconds later, he finally squeezed out his words, "We must be cautious of that leading man among the Wei Family disciples!"

Xu Peng's eyes sharpened, narrowing as he said, "You felt it too, huh? But that's all. The gap in the number of disciples between us is beyond their imagination!"

Lin Mo pursed his lips, "Hope so! I remember, not far along this path, there should be treasures and Martial Techniques up for grabs, whatever we get, our two Families shall share equally!"

Xu Peng's lips curled upward with barely a moment's hesitation, he answered, "Exactly my thought!"

When it comes to interests, only an equal split is fair!!

Otherwise, the so-called collaboration simply cannot continue!

...

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng and the Wei Family disciples had also arrived at an even more sinister place....

At this moment, the ground before them lay cloaked in dark gray lava, dense steam rising incessantly, filling the entire space with the scorching scent of heat....

The massive door behind them closed tight....

However, these were not the most important issues!

Spiritual Power could not be used here! This was the truly despairing part!

"Hiss... is this, hell? Such a terrifying aura!"

"No, it's not, I've heard from senior disciples that this is one of the most perilous places within the Secret Realm! Anyone who touches even a speck of that gray-black lava would be utterly obliterated!!"

"What do we do? Unable to use Spiritual Power, it's absolutely impossible to cross such a vast area of lava!"

...
