Chapter 549 - 649: Heaven-Reaching Town Opens
After the blood worms moved far away, Ye Tianfan and Yu Shan hurriedly went down from the exit and quickly climbed down the mountain.
By the time they reached the camp, it was already afternoon. Ye Tianfan quickly finished his meal and was met with another explosive piece of news: Heaven-Reaching Town had opened.
Ye Tianfan, Tian Chu Zhenren, and others stood not far from the main gate of Heaven-Reaching Town, watching many demon beasts and loose cultivators fly into the town, after which there was no movement.
Those loose cultivators, Tian Chu Zhenren and the others had no way to stop them. After all, where they went was their own freedom. The cultivators whose time was almost up, Tian Chu Zhenren and the others couldn't stop them either. After all, if you tried to block them, they would fight you desperately. The demon beasts, Tian Chu Zhenren and the others wouldn't stop them even more. They could let them explore the way, which meant all those demon beasts were let in by Tian Chu Zhenren and the others to see what changes might occur.
But no matter who went in, there was no movement, no intense quarrels, and no brawling, just an extremely harmonious atmosphere.
Yet this harmony made Tian Chu Zhenren and the others feel even more uneasy.
"Should we go in?" Ye Tianfan asked Tian Chu Zhenren beside him.
"Let's wait and see. Many people have already gone in, but nothing has happened, which makes me feel very uneasy!" Tian Chu Zhenren answered.
"What's that? Is it a dragon?" Ye Tianfan saw in the sky a long demon beast with long horns, looking very similar to a dragon.
Tian Chu Zhenren looked and then said, "It's not a dragon, it's a sub-dragon. It has dragon blood, but not much. Its huge body can help us see what happens when it enters Heaven-Reaching Town!"
Ye Tianfan then saw the sub-dragon fly to the gate of Heaven-Reaching Town; its entire body became very small, about the size of a person, and then the scene turned harmonious again.
"What? That door actually has a shrinking function?" Tian Chu Zhenren was really stunned. You must know, the reason sub-dragons are what they are is that they are descendants of dragons and other demon beasts and are severely flawed. Although they inherit some dragon abilities, no demon beast inherits the core dragon abilities.
For example, calling the wind and summoning the rain, the dragon's innate skill, those sub-dragons couldn't do. Long Wei, a unique dragon pressure, sub-dragons are not dragons, so they don't have Long Wei.
There is also Heaven and Earth, the ability to grow large and shrink small—being large like a sky pillar, or being smaller than a hair's width.
This ability at the divine power level, not to mention sub-dragons, even few true dragons would know it.
The previous sub-dragon couldn't possibly know it, which is why Tian Chu Zhenren was so shocked.
Imagine if Ye Tianfan and the others went in and suddenly became extremely tiny, not to mention fighting, even getting out would be a problem, maybe a hundred-meter distance for them would become a hundred kilometers, making it impossible to escape.
"Master, should we still go in?" Ye Tianfan asked.
"Yes, we must go in, but when we do, we must use our defensive magical treasures to avoid falling into traps!" Tian Chu Zhenren said, then used his defensive magical treasure. Hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, others also used their defensive magical treasures.
"Let's go!" A group of people moved majestically toward Heaven-Reaching Town.
"Master, do you think it's suspicious that so many unruly loose cultivators, after entering here, are behaving themselves, without causing any trouble? And we saw several, also entering with defensive magical treasures, who became just as obedient." Ye Tianfan cautiously asked.
"There's certainly deceit, but we don't know the specifics. If we don't go in, still many will. Whatever their plan is, this step is successful. At night, they'll close the gate, and we don't know if it will open tomorrow. If we don't go in, we can only stand outside and watch." Tian Chu Zhenren replied.
"That's true, but don't we have a lookout tower?" Ye Tianfan asked suspiciously. It was known that he and Yu Shan carefully installed the lookout tower.
"The lookout tower can observe Copper Gong Town, but if they're indoors or underground, we can't monitor them. Whatever their conspiracy is, we need to stop it. If we don't and the conspiracy is executed, the world could fall into chaos." Tian Chu Zhenren explained to Ye Tianfan!
"I understand!" Ye Tianfan nodded and began to be on guard.
"If there are any schemes inside, and you have a chance to escape, try to get out and bring the information to Elder Tian Mo from the Fan Sect guarding the camp, and have him inform the entire righteous path about the situation!" Tian Chu Zhenren told Ye Tianfan.
"Master..." Ye Tianfan hesitated upon hearing this. If they really needed to run at that time, Ye Tianfan didn't know if he could leave his master, so he hesitated.
"Don't hesitate. If you run, I can fight better. Besides, your master still has many trump cards not revealed yet; I'm not so easy to kill!" Tian Chu Zhenren patted Ye Tianfan's shoulder and said.
Ye Tianfan could only nod and closely followed Tian Chu Zhenren's pace.
When Ye Tianfan and the others reached outside the gate of Heaven-Reaching Town, they stopped at the same time.
"Now that we are here, does anyone want to withdraw?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked, "Judging by the situation earlier, going in means more chances of ill fate than good luck. If anyone wants to withdraw now, do it quickly. Don't wait until later when it's too late!"
"Stop talking, Tian Chu. This isn't the first time you're adventuring with me; let's just go in!" An old man standing next to Tian Chu Zhenren said.
"Master Tianji, you still have such a bad temper!" Tian Chu Zhenren shook his head with a smile.
"Let's go in. I believe now no coward will withdraw!" Another middle-aged man said!
"Alright, since even you, Minglin Yash's, said so, let's go in. After entering, depend on fate for life or death, but we should not separate!" Tian Chu Zhenren said!
After Tian Chu Zhenren finished speaking, he stepped forward to lead the way in!
