Chapter 726: Chapter 248: Crisis! (4177 words) _2
“Since I could come from the Ancient Divine Domain, it’s not impossible for fissures to appear elsewhere.”
“Let me make a daring assumption…”
“A group of powerful Void Demons from the Ancient Divine Domain escaped through the fissure to the 5th Restricted Area.”
“And some unknown powerful beings set up a barrier and sealed them in this area of the 5th Restricted Area.”
“But those unknown beings, I don’t know where they went. After millions of years, the power of the barrier has been weakening, so the Void Demons crawled out and constantly attacked the barrier to escape…”
“Moreover, outside this barrier, Nightmare Hall and Tang Country, as well as the Sky Demon Sect and the Demon Race and other strongmen might be temporarily working together, trying to break this barrier, and find the Five-colored Divine Stone.”
“Previously, they took advantage of the Fear Demon’s attack on the barrier, and when the power of the barrier was weakened, they tore a hole in the barrier and sent someone in.”
“But after the power of the barrier severely injured that person, it rebounded him back.”
Chu Xuan and others listened in cold sweat.
What Chen Fan said was still only speculation.
But this kind of speculation is evidently extremely close to the truth!
Even if the speculation is wrong…
There is no doubt that there are powerful demons in the barrier comparable to the existence of Minister Li!
If… if this really is the 5th Restricted Area, once those demons break through the barrier, they will soon rush to the outside world through the 5th Restricted Area!
At that time, Demon City will be the first to bear the brunt!
Can Minister Li and the City Lord’s Mansion of Demon City withstand such terrifying existence?
Even if they can withstand it, how can they protect Demon City?
“Damn it!”
Ye Hao clenched his fist and said, “Now, we cannot even send a message out!”
“The strongmen of Demon City are actually joining forces with the people of Nightmare Hall to attack this barrier…”
“To send a message, there is not no way,” said the Blind Man in a low voice.
All eyes immediately converged on the Blind Man again.
The Blind Man said, “The Void Demons crawling out of the crack to attacking the barrier must have happened many times already, and it will continue to happen in the future.”
“Perhaps, it’s very regular…”
“Those people outside the barrier obviously found this out, so they precisely found the position where the Fear Demon was attacking the barrier, tore the barrier, and sent someone in.”
“Next time when the Void Demons attack the barrier and the barrier is torn open…”
Shen Daodao was overjoyed and interrupted the Blind Man’s words, “Then Blind Grandfather can directly escape through that fissure at that time?”
The Blind Man shook his head: “That is certainly not possible.”
“After I entered from Xiaofan’s Beastmaster’s Space, the force on my body was suppressed. Not to mention using escape magic, I could hardly move.”
The faces of the crowd were filled with disappointment.
But the Blind Man said, “However, I can attach a strand of spiritual force to the person who is sent in when the barrier is torn open from the outside. This can be done.”
“Great!” Fang Qingqing and others were overjoyed.
The Blind Man sighed and said, “But… unless Li Mu and the others can completely seal the entrance and exit of the 5th Restricted Area, otherwise…”
The mood of the crowd became heavy again.
The Blind Man looked at Chen Fan and said, “The best plan for now is to get the Five-colored Divine Stone first.”
“If this barrier and the Five-colored Divine Stone are really to seal a terrifying existence, then getting the Five-colored Divine Stone might give us more related information.”
“We can only take it one step at a time.”
Chen Fan nodded, ready to open the Vortex Teleportation Gate to the Beastmaster’s Space.
“Wait!”
Chu Xuan stopped him and said, “We shall go together.”
“No, it is too risky. You are too weak to withstand such pressure!” Chen Fan shook his head.
Fang Qingqing’s face turned slightly red.
Chu Xuan said, “I have the power of the Sky Sacrificing Stele to protect my body. If the power of the Sky Sacrificing Stele fights against the power of the barrier, I can carry you up, saving you effort and time.”
Ye Hao puffed out his chest, “I have the Tongtian Divine Column!”
Shen Daodao flashed a proud smile, “I have the Twelve Wings of God King!”
Li Fengxing sneered, “I have…Brother Fan!”
“Slap!”
Bai Ruge slapped Li Fengxing on the back of his head, “What’s the time, and still joking!”
Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing looked at each other and then turned their heads away at the same time.
Chen Fan was silent for a moment and said, “Okay, let’s try it first…”
His Heaven-severing Demon Sword was mainly for killing, and the sword’s energy could destroy everything, so it couldn’t be used to protect the body.
But Chu Xuan’s Sky Sacrificing Stele and Shen Daodao’s Twelve Wings of God King had other usage, they were both offensive and defensive.
Immediately, Chen Fan opened the teleportation gate and pulled Chu Xuan out first.
Chu Xuan, who had activated the Sky Sacrificing Stele early in the morning, was baffled after stepping on the steps. He turned to look at Chen Fan and said, “I also felt that pressure, but it’s not as severe as you said…”
“What?” Chen Fan was stunned.
Chu Xuan lightly sprang up and jumped up three steps.
Chen Fan: “…”
Inside the Beastmaster’s Space, Ye Hao started making a fuss right away: “Brother Fan, pull me out, I’ll give it a try!”
Ye Hao and Shen Daodao both came out and stood on the steps.
“There’s indeed pressure, but it’s very slight.”
“To be honest, I don’t feel much.”
Both Ye Hao and Shen Daodao turned their gazes towards Chen Fan.
But when Fang Qingqing and Shen Hongxiu came out, they were in unbearable pain, sweating buckets!
Chen Fan quickly pushed them back into the Beastmaster’s Space.
“Come on!”
Ye Hao shouted loudly: “Brother Fan, let me carry you up!”
“Nobody should try to snatch this task from me!”
Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and moved back into the Beastmaster’s Space.
Ye Hao carried Chen Fan on his back and was on the verge of tears, “Finally, I’m not a burden to Brother Fan…”
Chen Fan patted Ye Hao’s shoulder, “I’ve never said you’re a burden!”
In the Beastmaster’s Space, Shen Hongxiu pressed her lips together, “Why don’t I have a Tongtian Divine Column? If I had one, I could carry my Xiaofan too.”
Without looking back, Ye Hao yelled, “Nonsense! As a woman, how could you possibly have a Tongtian Divine Column?!”
Shen Hongxiu was stunned, then furious, “Haozi, get in here, I’m gonna kill you!”
Carrying Chen Fan, Ye Hao rushed up the mountain quickly.
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and said, “Fan…Brother Fan, you’re poking me.”
“Ah!” Chen Fan leaped in surprise.
The group inside the Beastmaster’s Space was also stunned.
They saw an annoyed Ye Hao say, “Brother Fan, your knife hilt is poking me… You’re holding the knife hilt against my chest and it’s a bit uncomfortable!”
“…” Chen Fan was taken aback.
This bastard Ye Hao drove suddenly without warning, nearly getting hit by a car.
Chen Fan gripped the hilt of the Heaven-severing Demon Sword and hit Ye Hao on the head with it.
With a scream, Ye Hao ran even faster, aided by his Star Power.
After all, he had reached the Fourth Tier Third Heaven…
Now that the power of the Tongtian Divine Column had withstood the pressure of the barrier, it was not a hassle for Ye Hao to carry Chen Fan up the mountain. He even ran faster than a car.
After about ten minutes…
“We’re here!”
The main gate of the mountain-top palace came into the view of Chen Fan and the others.
Ye Hao made a leap, carrying Chen Fan and landed boomingly on the flat platform above.
“Strange, the pressure is gone…”
Chen Fan got off Ye Hao’s back and stretched his limbs.
While they were on the steps, he still felt a heavy pressure, even though Ye Hao was carrying him.
But the moment they reached the platform, the pressure vanished into thin air.
“What a huge palace…”
In the Beastmaster’s Space, Shen Hongxiu and the others exclaimed in astonishment.
Chen Fan laughed and said, “Is it big? Not bigger than the palace in the Ancient Divine Domain.”
As he spoke, he opened the Beastmaster’s Space Teleportation Gate and pulled Shen Hongxiu and the others out.
The Blind Man also came out…
But as soon as he came out, he groaned and went back to the Beastmaster’s Space.
“The pressure on top of the mountain is ten times stronger than at the foot of the mountain!”
The Blind Man said, somewhat gloomily, “Xiaofan, hurry up and find the Five-colored Divine Stone, maybe it can control the Array here!”
Chen Fan nodded, exchanging glances with Chu Xuan and Ye Hao.
Chu Xuan, Ye Hao, and Shen Daodao scattered immediately.
Chen Fan was in the lead.
Chu Xuan was at the back.
On the left was Ye Hao.
On the right was Shen Daodao.
All four of them withdrew their Divine Weapons, and along with Shen Hongxiu and the others, headed towards the interior of the mountain-top palace.
The group had just reached the entrance…
Footsteps suddenly echoed from inside the palace.
“Click, click, click!”
A figure slowly emerged.
