Chapter 157: The Most Desired Thing
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the barrier was completely broken.
Many people had already secretly withdrawn their spiritual energy, waiting for the moment the barrier broke to rush in and snatch the treasures.
With a loud bang, the barrier shattered as expected.
Someone in the crowd started, “Charge! The opportunity is right in front of us!”
Countless sounds of breaking air exploded by Su Lingxi’s ears. The cultivators of the various forces rushed towards the beam of light like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Of course, there were also many smart people who did not rush in to snatch at the first moment, but planned to observe the situation first.
Chu Feng was panting heavily. It was clear that he had put in a lot of effort.
Who knew that when he looked up, many people had already rushed towards the beam of light. He couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “This group of bastards. They didn’t even use their full strength when breaking the barrier. Now that the barrier is broken, they’re running faster than anyone else.”
As Chu Feng was speaking, a few of the Vermilion Bird disciples were already restless.
“Senior Brother Chu, opportunities are precious. I’ll go first.”
Then, the people around Chu Feng rose from the ground one by one and left his side.
At this point, Chu Feng was too lazy to say anything to them.
He took out a few spare Spirit Recovery Pills and began to recover his spiritual energy.
He was not in a hurry, because he also planned to wait and see.
On Su Lingxi’s side, only Ye Qingfeng was a little restless. He cupped his fists at Luo Yunxuan. “Your Highness, Crown Prince, the barrier is broken.”
“We’ll each rely on our own abilities for the opportunity!”
Luo Yunxuan nodded and did not say much, watching as Ye Qingfeng left.
Su Lingxi asked Xiao Bai in her sea of consciousness for the specific location of the Demonic Origin Pearl. If the Demonic Origin Pearl was also in that beam of light, then she would have to go and snatch it.
Xiao Bai looked at the scene in front of her and was silent. After a long while, she said, “I can only confirm that it is in this area. I don’t know anything else.”
Xiao Bai’s words were ambiguous. Su Lingxi felt that since the Demonic Origin Pearl was on her, then there must be some kind of connection with her.
Since Su Lingxi didn’t feel anything now, she felt that it was better not to get involved in this mess.
The cultivators who were rushing at the front had already arrived in front of the beam of light. This beam of light was made of a strange spiritual energy, and there were even some strange runes on it.
The cultivators at the front looked at each other, and no one dared to attack first.
Because most of the cultivators who had come here were young disciples. Their experience was short, and they didn’t know what to do in this situation.
But there were also some bold disciples. They slowly approached the beam of light.
They protected their whole bodies with their spiritual energy and tentatively injected their spiritual energy into the beam of light.
Suddenly, the golden patterns on the beam of light began to emit a strange, flashing light. Then, the beam of light suddenly expanded, swallowing the few bold disciples.
Everyone only heard a painful scream. The figures of those few disciples were distorted and dissipated in the beam of light, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone.
This scene made the surrounding people gasp. The crowd, which had been eager to move just a moment ago, instantly quieted down, and no one dared to get close easily again.
“A bunch of fools. They really thought that treasures were so easy to obtain.”
Chu Feng sneered, but he always felt that the danger was not over. He took a few steps back.
At this moment, the outlines of a few treasures faintly appeared in the beam of light. There were pills that emitted a mysterious aura, and magic treasures that shimmered with a strange light.
The crowd began to stir again. Some of the stronger and fearless cultivators began to slowly approach. They carefully observed the changes in the beam of light, looking for a chance to enter.
Su Lingxi watched all this from a distance with some lingering fear. In the fight for opportunities, there would always be people who wanted to take the first step, but they often had to bear the corresponding risks.
“Hahaha, I got it!”
A cry of surprise came from the crowd of treasure hunters. Following the sound, they saw that the person was holding a valuable spiritual artifact in his hand.
Seeing that the gazes of the surrounding people were all looking over, this person instantly put the spiritual artifact back into his spatial ring to avoid arousing the covetousness of others.
“What are you waiting for? The danger has been lifted. If you don’t go and fight for it now, it will be too late!”
As soon as these words were spoken, even some of the people who were still watching couldn’t help but attack.
At this time, the beam of light suddenly disappeared and split into many bubbles.
There were all sorts of spiritual artifacts and treasures in the bubbles. The moment the beam of light disappeared, these cultivators rushed up without any hesitation.
Su Lingxi looked up at these bubbles. Among them was something she had never seen before, but was extremely familiar with.
The Demonic Origin Pearl.
It was a stone that looked very ordinary on the outside, but only Su Lingxi could sense the familiar energy contained within.
Su Lingxi was instantly as if her soul had been hooked. She stretched out her left hand and walked towards the bubble.
Luo Chuxue was also attracted by this bubble, but what she saw in it was not some precious spiritual artifact.
In the corner of her eye, the bubble actually contained Su Lingxi.
Luo Chuxue walked towards the bubble. The Su Lingxi in the bubble smiled sweetly at her, and her gaze towards Luo Chuxue was as if it were drawn. She inadvertently let her shoulder strap slip, revealing her exquisite collarbone.
She leaned in close and whispered in Luo Chuxue’s ear, “Chuxue… I want…”
Just as Luo Chuxue was about to agree, a childish voice interrupted their fantasy.
“All of you, wake up! These are all illusions!”
A green light flashed in Yaoling’s hand, and a pure natural power enveloped Luo Chuxue, Su Lingxi, and the others.
Su Lingxi woke up as if from a dream and looked at the bubble.
The bubble did not contain any Demonic Origin Pearl, but an extremely ordinary stone.
“Ah!”
A cry of surprise suddenly came from Luo Chuxue’s side.
“What’s wrong, Chuxue?”
Su Lingxi followed Luo Chuxue’s gaze and saw that in front of her was the corpse of a cultivator who had just been fighting for an opportunity.
The corpse was in a very miserable state. Its eyeballs were protruding, and there was a huge bloody hole in its abdomen.
The blood had not even dried yet.
Su Lingxi’s hair stood on end. She sent this corpse flying half a mile away with a single palm strike, until it disappeared from their sight.
“Your Excellency, I think we should leave this place quickly. This place is very strange.”
“There are no treasures here at all. It’s more like a trap.”
“The things you saw just now were actually the things you desired most in your heart… I’ve seen this kind of illusion before.”
Yaoling rarely showed a serious face. Su Lingxi also realized that this place was not safe and agreed with her.
The illusion in front of them shattered, and Feng Chuiying collapsed weakly on the ground.
Just now, she had seen her father and mother, and… many, many of her Phoenix clansmen. That real feeling made people unwilling to wake up.
The tears that had filled Feng Chuiying’s eyes were quietly wiped away by her.
It’s fine… it’s already very good to be able to see them again.
Luo Yunxuan was covered in sweat. He thought that he had never coveted the Canglan throne, but just now, he had seen the Canglan dragon throne that symbolized power.
The few of them had serious expressions, some happy and some sad, and they couldn’t come to their senses for a long time.
