At the other end of the golden passage is Wutan’s destination this time, the City of Darkness!
"Okay, everyone come out!" Xiao Wuhao wiped the sweat off his forehead quietly, turned his head and said lightly.
Wutan's spirits were lifted, and with a wave of his hand, the water curtain in the void in front of him collapsed, turned into water power and flowed back into his body, then he walked over eagerly.
"Are you sure?"
After looking at it carefully for a while, Wutan spoke with some doubt. After all, it was his first time using the altar. If something went wrong and he was teleported to another place or a space tunnel, then it would be all over.
"Don't worry. In my vague memory, this altar is not the first time I've opened it. So, it should be possible that there won't be any problems."
"Should? Is it possible? Maybe?" Wutan's face darkened.
Seeing that Wu Tian was about to get angry, Xiao Wu Hao shook his head and laughed, saying solemnly: "Just put your heart at ease! If you are still not confident in what I do, you will never find anyone you can trust in the world."
Hearing this, Wutan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked towards the passage, with a frightening light flashing in his eyes. He had put in a lot of effort to hunt down Chi Yanzi, and he absolutely could not fail this time!
"Wutian, is this altar the same as the altar under Shura City, leading to a small world?" Cang Zheng hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"What? Small world?"
Hearing this, the three bird saint beasts were startled, and then fled without looking back. What a joke, they just escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, and now they have to go to another small world, isn't this asking for trouble
“Ahem!” Wu Tian coughed dryly and said faintly: “The small world has imperial soldiers, imperial medicine, and magical powers. Most importantly, there are many strange and bizarre beasts. Their meat should be very delicious.”
"Are you serious?" Upon hearing this, the three beasts stopped immediately and turned to look in confusion.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask Cang Zheng... Hey! Where's Cang Zheng?"
"You cowardly little girl, get ready to run away!" the little guy said sarcastically.
"Who said that?"
Cang Zheng, who was crouching and sneaking around, trying to take the opportunity to slip away, seemed to be stimulated. He stopped, turned around and glared at the little guy, and said angrily: "When did I become a coward? I just sensed that there seemed to be someone outside, so I wanted to go and take a look."
"Oh! I see, it was Grandpa Frog who wronged you. Then hurry up and go! We don't expect you to come back anyway." The little guy said lazily, and then muttered to himself: "With that little strength, it's best not to come back, so as not to hold everyone back."
"Little thing, who do you say is holding us back?" Cang Zheng really wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but when he heard the little guy's mumbling, his temper flared up. This Young Master really had to go to this small world.
"Let's wait and see!" The little fellow chuckled, a gleam of success in his eyes.
Cang Zheng glared at it angrily, glanced at the three-headed beast king, nodded and said, "Yes, there are countless treasures in the Jueyin ruins. Wu Tian's seven elemental spirit veins were obtained from there. I believe that there are many such treasures in this small world behind it."
"Everything is easy as long as we have the treasure. Let's go, let the three of us brothers lead the way." When the Gold-Eating Rat heard this, he changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Quack! Grandpa Bird Saint is here! You turtle sons, tremble! Ahem..."
The Bird Saint howled, full of vigor and vitality, as if he was a single man blocking the pass from ten thousand. But when he saw Xiao Wuhao coming, it was as if a needle was stuck in his throat. He covered his head with his pair of fleshy wings and coughed desperately.
Wu Tian thought for a moment, looked at Jun Haotian, and said, "You go to the Star Realm first and practice well with everyone. I won't call you out unless it is absolutely necessary. But you have to work hard. I hope that next time we meet, I can see a different Shura Legion and Dark Legion."
"Yes." Jun Haotian nodded solemnly, and then he and Xiao Wuhao disappeared from the spot without any warning.
Until this moment, the bird's wings moved, revealing a pair of small eyes. It looked around slyly before it mustered up its courage, shook its body, and with a flash of black light, shiny black feathers immediately grew on its bare body.
After looking around, Bird Saint asked in a low voice: "Wutian, who was that just now? How could he be so awesome?"
"You'll know later." Shaking his head, Wu Tian said seriously, "In an unknown world, there must be unknown dangers. Everyone should be prepared, so as not to be killed by surprise."
"Of course, it is you and Cang Zheng who will face the danger. We are just passing by and watching the show." The little guy and the Insect King very quickly got into Wutan's arms and began to doze off.
"No, we regret it. We won't take the lead." The three bird saint beasts looked at each other, their bodies shrank again, only the size of a finger, and slipped into Wutan's arms.
"It's terrifying that such a ferocious beast is hidden in one person!" Cang Zheng's face was full of contempt, and it was obvious that there was another meaning behind his words.
With a bitter smile, Wu Tian was also very depressed. The two little guys were enough for him before, and now there are three more. It seems that life will be difficult in the future! However, it is undeniable that these five guys are extremely powerful and are the main force in this battle against the Dark City.
"Brother, wait for me."
Just as Wutan was about to walk into the altar passage, a clear voice like the sound of nature suddenly rang out. He was so familiar with this voice that he knew without even looking back that the person coming was Shishi!
"Why are you here?" Wutan turned around and asked in confusion. In fact, he knew very well why Shishi came, but he really didn't want to take her with him.
"Turns out there really is someone there." Cang Zheng muttered. Before, he said that he could sense someone outside, but it was purely fabricated and he just made up an excuse. He didn't expect that he was right.
"Hmph! You always run away secretly every time. Last time you came back from Gutuo Temple you didn't even come to see me. That's why I'm angry and I'm punishing you to take me with you." Shishi put her white little hands on her waist, revealing her little fangs. She looked vicious, but in the eyes of others, she looked like a cute elf.
"Let's go! But you must obey me along the way, otherwise I will send you to the Star Realm."
Wutan nodded and agreed readily, because he knew that since Shishi had found her way here, it meant that she was determined this time. It was obviously impossible to send her back easily. However, for safety reasons, Wutan still added conditions.
"Okay!"
So, the three of them walked into the passage one after another and soon disappeared without a trace. Not long after, a one-armed monk in linen suddenly appeared in the secret room, staring at the golden passage, and muttered: "The passage will last for half an hour, I'd better wait before going in, so as not to be caught by Wu Tian."
…
The Dark City is not pitch black or filled with evil as its name suggests. On the contrary, it is sunny, with picturesque scenery, ancient trees and extremely rich elemental energy. It is truly a paradise on earth.
In a canyon in the City of Darkness, there is also a bloody altar, which is exactly the same as the altar in the secret room of the City of Hell. The environment around the altar is also completely different from the former. There are lush trees, sprouting grass, blooming wild flowers, and the rich fragrance is intoxicating.
Above the canyon, there is a waterfall that slants down like a bead curtain made of crystal, reflecting dazzling light in the sun. Around the waterfall, there are white cranes dancing gracefully, making this place look like a paradise.
In the four directions of the bloody altar, there were four figures sitting cross-legged. They were two men and two women, all around thirty years old, wearing robes of different colors, and the aura they exuded was extremely powerful!
"Yan Kuan, we have been guarding this altar for hundreds of years! A hundred years! It's not long, but it's also a mortal's lifetime. Fortunately, we can leave in another half a year, and we have completed the task assigned to us by the Lord of Darkness." A man in purple sighed.
"Yes! I just don't know if the Dark City Lord will arrange a good position for us when we go back this time." The man in white named Yan Kuan frowned.
“Yan Kuan, Li Feng, the strength of both of you has been improved to the peak state of the initial stage of divine transformation in the past hundred years. You are only one step away from reaching the minor stage. When you go back this time, even if you can't become the city lord of the ninth city, you can at least get the position of deputy city lord. And what about me? I'm still marking time, and maybe there is no hope in this life.” A woman in red looked at the two and said enviously.
"Sun Xia, instead of envying others, you should practice hard. Besides, who can guess what the Dark City Lord is thinking? I may even make an exception and promote you to the deputy city lord of the ninth city."
At this moment, the woman in black next to the three men suddenly opened her eyes, and her tone was as frosty and icy!
"Haha! Zhuang Luochen, stop comforting me. I know my own weight." The red-dressed woman Sun Xia shook her head and laughed with self-mockery.
"Sun Xia, don't lose heart. Your father is the lord of the Eighth City. I believe that the Dark City Lord will arrange a suitable position for you for your father's sake." Yan Kuan smiled, with a flattering look on his face.
Sun Xia was about to say something, but at this moment, the blood-colored altar in the center suddenly emitted a strong light, illuminating the surroundings with a blood-red color.
"What? The altar actually responded?"
Several people were stunned, their faces suddenly changed. Sun Xia and the other two looked at the black-clothed woman Zhuang Luochen, wondering, "What's going on? Why did the altar react for no reason? Is there an invasion from Samsara Continent?"
"The other end of the altar is the Samsara Continent. It seems there is no mistake. Everyone, be careful and alert. As soon as someone appears, we will take action immediately and wipe him out!" Zhuang Luoxia said with murderous intent.
As time passed, the blood-red light became brighter and brighter. After about ten breaths, three figures gradually emerged under the gaze of the four people.
"Get started!"
Just at this moment, Zhuang Luochen gave an order, and the momentum of the four people exploded like a mountain torrent. The power of elements surged, and they exerted their strongest means to kill the three figures on the altar!
"Is there an ambush?"
On the bloody altar were Wutan, Cang Zheng and Shishi. However, what they didn't expect was that they were attacked by people from the Dark City as soon as they appeared, and the auras were quite strong.
