Chapter 948: Conflict
"You are the one with the most advanced cultivation base out of all of us, so the key should go to you for safekeeping," Chen Yang said as he cupped his fist in a salute.
"You clearly know more about these crimson keys than I do, so I think it should go to you," Sun Tu countered. "Before we discuss that, I can see that there's a restriction around the key. Do you recognize this restriction?"
"I've never been all that proficient when it comes to dealing with restrictions and arrays, so I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Sun," Chen Yang said in a modest manner.
"In that case, I'll do the honors," Sun Tu replied with a faint smile, yet right as he was about to make his way to the top of the copper tree, the gate of the hall suddenly exploded with a resounding boom before flying toward everyone.
Han Li and the others quickly sprang away to the side, and the gate crashed into the copper tree before exploding into pieces.
"If neither of you are willing to capture the key, then how about I do so in your stead?"
Han Li turned to the entrance of the hall with tightly furrowed brows to discover Qin Yuan, Fu Jian, and the black-robed man by the name of Shao Ying.
The three of them were standing side by side at the forefront, and trailing along behind them were two more figures, namely Duan Tong and a short and portly middle-aged man who Han Li didn't know the name of, but what Han Li did know was that he was an elder of Profound End City.
"When did you get here? How did you manage to bypass my Heavenly Star Eye?" Sun Tu asked with tightly furrowed brows.
"You thought that setting up a mere Heavenly Star Eye at the entrance of the altar would be enough as far as surveillance goes? You must think very little of us, City Lord Sun," Fu Jian chuckled.
Sun Tu fell silent as his expression darkened slightly.
