The Path of the Sage

Chapter 527: advance and retreat

After all the monsters entered, Lei Jiu glanced at everyone and said, "Who is willing to go in with me? Except Fang Yun!"

Lei Jiu's tone was apparently calm, but everyone could hear the hatred in it.

"Brother Lei and I entered together. You and I are both people whose dragon energy was robbed by Fang Yun, so we should help each other." Zong Ji said.

"I will go with Brother Lei too!" Sima He said hurriedly.

"Let's go!" Lei Jiu stepped on the dragon energy cloud and flew into the altar pit with Zong Ji and Sima He. They flew along the passage inside and soon disappeared.

The others did not rush in and were mostly thinking.

Kong Detian said: "Fang Yun, since the Ancient Dragon Marquis has set his sights on you, if you don't escape, you will surely die. Although Ao Huang wants to protect you, he can't always be by your side. If you encounter an accident down there and face the Ancient Dragon Marquis, he will kill you without hesitation!"

Fang Yun remained silent.

One person said, "Why don't we work together to destroy this island? Then we will know exactly what is inside."

Ji Shouyu shook his head and said, "You underestimate the dragon clan. Since this treasure is extraordinary, according to the custom of the dragon clan, the power of this altar is extraordinary and it can still firmly protect this sky island. Even if we work together, it will take decades to destroy this sky island."

"So are we going in or not?"

Kong Detian said: "I hope not to go in, escort Fang Yun away from here, and stay away from Gu Jiaohou."

"The speed of Gu Jiao Hou is far beyond ours. We can't escape. If he gets some divine item like the blood of the Dragon Saint or the remains of a real dragon and becomes a demon king, we will surely die!"

"Fang Yun, how on earth can you forcibly seize other people's dragon energy?" Sun Renbing was puzzled.

Fang Yun smiled helplessly and wrote on the paper.

"I don't know either." Fang Yun held up the paper.

"You really don't have any feelings at all? You don't know if it's because of the emperor's poem or for some other reason?" another Jinshi asked.

"I really don't know, I haven't the slightest clue. I want to know the reason more than you do, but I really don't know why the dragon energy of Denglongtai is moving towards me." Fang Yun held up the newly written paper.

Fang Yun had doubts about the Dragon Breath Stone, but in the end he found that the Dragon Breath Stone could only sense the Dragon Qi Eye within a certain range. It was absolutely impossible to attract and accelerate the absorption of the Dragon Qi Eye.

If the Dragon Breath Stone Carving could really attract the Dragon Qi Eye, its value would at least double, and the transaction between the Meng family and the Longman clan would not be possible. The Meng family would never suffer such a huge loss.

"Well, maybe your life experience is different from others. Let's not think about it anymore. Anyway, we have to either flee or enter the treasure chest. We have no time to absorb the dragon energy." Kong Detian said.

"If it was a small treasure, I would send Fang Yun away without hesitation. But this large treasure is different. Not only are there four flying divine objects, but there are also other different divine objects. There may be the remains of a holy dragon or even dragon blood. They are all priceless treasures and we cannot give them up." Sun Renbing said.

"You also saw how anxious Ao Huang was. In order to get into the treasure vault, he didn't even seek revenge on the monsters. This shows how precious the treasures inside are." Zhang Zhixing said.

Kong Detian said helplessly: "The eight of us will benefit if we unite. If we separate, we will both suffer. Since some people want to protect Fang Yun and some want to enter the treasure, why not let the eight of us decide together whether to flee or enter!"

Sun Renbing immediately said: "I hope to work together to explore the treasure. That ancient Jiao Hou is extraordinary. But we have not yet activated the power of the stars, so it is more than enough to protect Fang Yun."

"I agree to enter as well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Yes, it has been a long time since our human race has encountered such a good thing. If we leave and all the benefits are taken away by the monsters, we will be sinners for all eternity!"

In the end, only Kong Detian and Mo Shan hoped to escape with Fang Yun.

"Fang Yun, what do you think? We can't force you." Kong Detian was a little helpless.

Fang Yun lowered his head and wrote: "I am not willing to run away in front of the treasure. If the eight of us can work together, perhaps we can occupy a place in the treasure! What's more, he is just a mere Gu Jiao Hou, how can I, Fang Yun, be afraid of him!"

Kong Detian smiled and said, "Well, since even you don't want to back down, let's join forces to enter the treasure and see what's inside that's worthy of their attention!"

"Walk!"

The eight Jinshi stepped on the dragon energy cloud, flew to the sky above the pit of the altar, and slowly descended.

This huge pit is bottomless, and there are many large and small passages on the walls of the pit. The small ones are only one foot high, while the large ones are several dozen feet high.

Mo Shan released a mechanical bird and said, "We have two options. The first option is to follow Ao Huang. We may have a chance to see the best treasure with him, but the result is that we get nothing, and Ao Huang takes everything. After all, this is the dragon clan's own treasure, and we can't snatch it from him. The second option is for us to search for it ourselves. Although we may not see the most important treasure, we are likely to encounter other good treasures, such as dragon bones and dragon scales, so it will be worth the trip."

The scholars nodded slightly, and Sun Renbing said, "Mo Shan is right. These two paths have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first path yields less, but it is safe, especially after finding Ao Huang. The second path will be extremely dangerous, but we have a greater chance of obtaining the divine object."

Kong Detian had no choice but to say, "From now on, no matter what choice we make, it will be decided by the eight of us. Okay, from now on, those who agree to follow Ao Huang raise your hands."

In the end, no one raised their hand.

Kong Detian smiled and said, "The next step is to choose a channel. I wonder... Fang Yun, what are you writing?" Then he looked at Fang Yun's paper.

"There are traces of how the dragon clan seals treasures, especially related to the habits of different dragon clans. According to my observation, the ancient dragon clan that sealed this place should be the Azure Dragon clan."

Kong Detian was surprised and asked, "You know all this? How did you know that?"

The others were also extremely surprised. Not to mention Fang Yun, even the current Qinglong might not know the habits of the ancient Qinglong clan.

Fang Yun continued writing.

"It's very simple. I have made a detailed comparison of this altar. Whether it is the architectural style, the color intensity, the writing habits of the dragon pattern on the altar, or the environment here, all of them can serve as my basis."

"I admire you!" Kong Detian was the first to praise. As a member of the Kong family, he always knew more about the universe than other families. However, he did not expect that his understanding of the dragon clan was far less than that of Fang Yun. Kong Detian could not help but admire him.

"As expected of you, Fang Quanzhi. I didn't believe the rumor that day that you knew more about Yaoman than the demon king Sheli, but I do believe it today. Please continue."

Fang Yun started writing again.

"The Azure Dragon is in the east, so the east is naturally respected. Therefore, the most important treasure here must be in the east. However, Ao Huang must have known this. Since we are not following him, we have to choose between the south, west and north."

"Is there a science to choosing the other three directions?" Sun Renbing was a little curious. (To be continued...)
