Chapter 515: The Evil Little Sister in the Immortal Cultivation Novels (30)
He Jizhi's slightly transparent soul body rippled slightly.
However, he did not panic, but instead spoke with righteous indignation:
"I have been traveling with the fairy for so long, but I have not seen my wife. She must be waiting for me somewhere else."
"You should all leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, lest things change and something unexpected happens."
Although Shen Lin'an and the others were also eager to leave, they naturally stopped when they saw Ji Chutang stop.
If the junior sister notices something is wrong, then there must be a problem. This is a truth that everyone has come to realize in just two days of getting along.
He Jizhi noticed that none of them were moving, and his expression changed slightly, somewhat like a mask trying to maintain its proper appearance.
He had realized that Ji Chutang might have discovered something.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
He had already reached the most crucial part, and he was unwilling to give up just like that. This was the only opportunity he had waited for for tens of thousands of years.
If this attempt fails, he may never see the light again until his soul is completely eroded by time.
He had clearly seen the light, so he was unwilling to submit to darkness.
He Jizhi still tried to bluff his way out, so he just smiled at the group, as if what he had just said was truly for their benefit.
Ji Chutang suddenly realized:
"I'm sorry, Young Master He, we haven't been able to find you a wife. Why don't you leave with us first?"
“Okay.” He Jizhi agreed without any hesitation.
As if to set an example, he took the lead and walked into the dark and empty Heavenly Gate, his foot disappearing into the darkness.
His expression held a smug, mysterious air, as if to say, "See, there's nothing wrong with me, so why do you doubt me?"
Now everyone felt relieved and walked towards the Heavenly Gate, stepping inside one after another.
Finally, Ji Chutang hovered in mid-air and glanced outside. The densely packed black-armored soldiers had now fallen silent.
The original restlessness seemed to have been paused by the manipulator behind the scenes.
He withdrew his gaze and stepped inside without hesitation.
In just a moment, earth-shattering changes occurred.
Before me stood a palace, a massive palace made of stone.
The sky was extremely high, yet the dome was visible.
Beneath the dome are countless hanging, entwined, dark blue vines, and numerous eerie sculptures.
He Jizhi, who had entered this place, had already disappeared.
All his fellow disciples were still by his side, and they all spoke up, saying that once they stepped inside, He Shusheng was nowhere to be seen.
As a single soul with almost no abilities, he would naturally not hesitate to get out of this state as soon as possible.
Ji Chutang had already seen through it all and was following his lead to find a way to survive.
It's not that they had planned everything in advance; it was just a matter of each having their own ulterior motives and using each other. It was just a matter of who was more skillful.
Clearly, He Jizhi was like a fish in water at this moment, and falling into this dark lake where there was no sunlight was like divine assistance.
The palace gates in front of us were tightly shut, neither open nor shaken, and were made of almost the same material as the outer city walls.
However, they certainly couldn't just sit and wait to die.
They began trying various methods to break into this strange little space.
During the experiment, the group made an exciting discovery.
That means this place has already escaped the broken little world space that originally trapped them.
The message can be sent out, although it cannot be received yet.
But this is ultimately a good thing.
Before long, everyone suddenly noticed that a formation had silently begun to light up on the huge open space where they were.
The formation was very large, and it was similar to the formation they had encountered after they were captured.
However, this formation did not look that strange, and there were no blood-stained irrigation ditches on the ground.
But it gradually lit up, as if a magic array was being awakened from its slumber and then began to operate.
Then He Jizhi appeared.
Unlike the original slightly transparent and weak soul, he was very solid and looked like a real human.
Not only that, his usual white clothes had also disappeared, replaced by a black robe, a solemn and dignified black robe.
Even his usually gentle, smiling eyes had changed, becoming more dignified.
The aura emanating from him is something that only those who have long held high positions would display.
He smiled as soon as he appeared.
"Fairy Ji, thank you so much for your help this time."
"My human soul is too useless; I really can't complete the task of opening the Heavenly Gate on my own. Fortunately, I have you... my kind little snacks."
He was very confident; his expressions, actions, and demeanor all exuded an air of smug self-satisfaction.
But the reactions from others struck him as odd.
No one was surprised, nor was anyone afraid, apprehensive, terrified, or shocked.
Her calm and collected reaction only slightly angered him.
He gave a cold snort: "Even when they're about to die, they're still a bunch of tough nuts to crack."
"You'd better behave yourselves and not struggle or resist. It'll be useless. That way, I can make your deaths a little easier."
"Consider it a gesture of goodwill from you, and a way to settle the karmic debt between us after so many years."
He kept rambling on and on.
Ji Chutang impatiently interrupted him, saying, "Old people talk too much."
His mask crumbled completely; his gentle eyes instantly transformed into sharp, slanted ones, coldly piercing Ji Chutang.
"You're sharp-tongued; you'd better be able to laugh in a bit."
The next second, he was about to actually activate the formation.
He laughed and looked smugly at his plan, which he had devised tens of thousands of years ago, now in operation.
However, his smile quickly vanished as he discovered that the formation was still in a state of waiting to be activated, and there was no way to activate it.
His sharp eyes fixed on Ji Chutang in an instant.
"It was you! What did you do?"
Ji Chutang innocently spread her hands, she was wronged, Master Qingtang, she did not tamper with this broken formation.
But he dared not fly down from the height of the palace. He was only in a soul form, and no matter how solid it became, he dared not risk confronting these cunning humans.
He was going crazy, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't activate his formation.
His plan had to be shelved, and He Jizhi was so angry he almost jumped up and down, furious.
The space here was suddenly activated, and its power seemed to be running low.
Everyone could sense that in at most fifteen minutes, this man-made spatial barrier would no longer be able to be maintained.
Then their chance to escape naturally came.
He Jizhi clearly understood this principle as well, and gave a cold laugh to Ji Chutang, who seemed to have victory in her grasp:
"Do you think you won?"
