After Xu Chunniang spoke, the surroundings became very quiet.
Just as the others were feeling uneasy, a sneer suddenly rang out.
"You are so brave, little girl. You asked me to show myself to you. Do you think you are worthy enough?"
There was no trace of the previous appreciation and gentleness in his words, as if he could destroy the four people with just a thought.
Zhuge Yun frowned slightly and was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but Xu Chunniang spoke before him.
"Senior, you specially came to find four newcomers like us and have been snooping around for a long time. You can't be idle, right?"
Her face was calm, without any sign of fear, but she secretly mobilized the map of mountains and rivers, preparing for a life-and-death fight.
Since the other party came up to me, it was certainly not just to say a few words.
"Haha, you are quite a capable girl. You are not someone who can be easily fooled. You are worth meeting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light breeze blew and pushed open the door of the private room.
An old man in a black robe appeared and walked slowly into the private room. He closed the door and reinforced the barrier.
Seeing that the figures of several people became tense because of his appearance, as if they were ready to take action at any time, the old man in black robe raised his eyebrows, with an expression that was neither smiling nor laughing.
"If I were to attack you little kids in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you wouldn't even have a chance to resist. What? You don't believe me?"
The black-robed old man's expression changed as he spoke. He snorted coldly, and his spiritual awareness, as vast as the sea of stars, suddenly covered where the four people were.
Kong Huan, who had the weakest spiritual awareness, fainted without even uttering a groan.
Less than half a breath after him, Fu Yunshan and Zhuge Yun also collapsed and fell into coma.
Xu Chunniang's face was as pale as paper, with big beads of sweat streaming down her forehead. She barely managed to avoid being crushed by the huge divine thought.
But the other party's consciousness is as deep as a mountain, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer...
"Huh? I didn't expect that you, a girl with low cultivation level, have the strongest spiritual sense among the four."
A hint of surprise flashed in the black-robed old man's eyes. As he withdrew his spiritual sense, three rays of light shot out from his fingertips.
After three rays of light appeared, they flew towards the three people who had fainted and penetrated into their bodies in an instant.
Glancing at the sudden change in the expression of the female cultivator in front of him, the old man in black robe chuckled.
"Don't worry, this is just pure spiritual power. It can help them wake up as soon as possible."
After hearing the explanation, Xu Chunniang did not let her guard down.
The Jindan cultivator is one realm higher than them, and has various methods at his disposal that are endless and hard to guard against. Who knows if he took advantage of the opportunity to do anything
Seeing that the little girl didn't believe it, the old man in black robe didn't take it seriously.
It was rare for him to be willing to explain something given his level of cultivation. As for whether others believed it or not, it was not even within his consideration.
Fortunately, not long after, the three unconscious people finally woke up.
After realizing the situation, Zhuge Yun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The other party's spiritual awareness is much deeper than that of his master. He is at least a cultivator in the late Jindan stage and must not be offended.
"Senior, what do you want to talk to us about? Just tell us directly."
The old man in black robe sat down generously and poured himself a cup of tea.
"It's okay for me to speak frankly. You have been wandering around this city for most of the day, so I believe you have a clear understanding of your situation, right?"
The four of them looked at each other, none of them knowing what the old man was up to. However, it was definitely unwise to offend this powerful monk over such a trivial matter.
Zhuge Yun nodded and admitted it readily.
"Yes, this place is a real cage. It seems that the monks who enter here are given three ways to survive, but in fact, the evil-eyed beast has no good intentions at all."
"Oh? Let's not talk about the two paths of the Battle Hall and the Samsara Pond for now. Giving birth to a hundred offspring is not an impossible task, right?"
The old man in black robe smiled and said meaningfully, "As far as I know, some monks have really left this damn place through this method."
"What the senior said is correct. Compared with the other two options, giving birth to offspring does seem easier, but this is just an illusion. With our lifespans, we will never be able to complete this task in our entire lifetime."
Zhuge Yun's expression was calm. "As for those who were able to complete the mission, after this torture, their Dao heart and body have been almost destroyed. For the rest of their lives, they are just useless people with empty cultivation."
The old man in black robe had tested enough and finally lost the intention of teasing. His expression showed a rare seriousness.
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to stay here forever without taking any of the three options? You suspected before that this space is in the outer world. Now I tell you - it is indeed the case."
Having said this, the old man in black robe glanced at a few people and took in their expressions.
"So, even if you really have a chance to escape, you will die in the endless gale. For you, staying here for the rest of your life is actually the best choice."
After the old man in black robe said these words, the private room fell into a long silence.
Finally Xu Chunniang broke the silence.
She looked at the old man in black robes with a serious expression, "So, senior, do you have any other way to leave? Do you need us? Or, what can we do?"
Hearing this, the black-robed old man's eyes lit up and he stared at her with sharp eyes.
"Girl, what do you mean by that?"
There was a sense of pressure in his words, but the female cultivator in front of him seemed not to feel it, and her brows remained calm.
"I still say that, Senior, you won't waste your time on a few of us for no reason. Four foundation-building cultivators are nothing to you."
The old man in black robe suddenly laughed, first with his mouth grinning, and then his laughter was like a loud bell, echoing in the entire elegant room.
"You are indeed a good girl, but it's a pity. If I met such a smart and talented person in the outside world, I would probably accept you as a registered disciple. In this ghost place, it is still unknown whether you can return to Qianluo Realm alive."
Xu Chunniang stared at the old man in black robe without changing her expression, and finally waited for an ambiguous word from the other party.
"It's not the right time yet, and I need to observe you for a while. When the time is right, I will find you. Before that, you should stay here."
Seeing the old man in black robe was about to leave, Zhuge Yun frowned unnoticeably.
"Senior, please at least give us an exact time. We can't wait forever just because of a word from you."
"You don't want to?"
The old man in black robe sneered and changed his expression immediately, as if he would use thundering means to subdue Zhuge Yun as long as he said he was unwilling.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."
Zhuge Yun wanted to explain something, but the old man in black robe was unwilling to listen. Invisible pressure enveloped Zhuge Yun, crushing his body.
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me!"
