Chapter 951: Different Intentions
E Kuai paid no heed to the change in the surrounding environment as he continued to lead the way forward as if he were taking a casual stroll. It didn't appear as if he were using any special techniques, but he was able to cover a distance of close to a thousand feet with every single step.
Mistress Liu Hua, Fu Jian, Qin Yuan, and Shao Ying were following along closely behind him, while Chen Yang, Sun Tu, and Han Li were trailing along a little further behind.
Everyone remained silent as they trudged through the forest, and the only sound that could be heard was that of their rustling footsteps.
Han Li took a glance at E Kuai, then communicated to Chen Yang and Sun Tu through voice transmission, "Is this restricted area really up ahead, Fellow Daoist Chen? Why does this rainforest look so strange?"
Not only was E Kuai tremendously powerful himself, he also had the likes of Qin Yuan, Fu Jian, and Shao Ying on his side, so Han Li and the others were at a massive disadvantage. Under these circumstances, they were forced to set aside their personal differences to work wholeheartedly together.
"I've only heard very little about the Great Ruins, so I don't know exactly where these so-called remains are supposed to be. However, judging from the increasing abundance of starpower in the air, we do indeed seem to be advancing deeper into the Great Ruins. In any case, you have a key right now, so we always have some leverage if E Kuai decides to turn on us," Chen Yang said.
Han Li nodded in response, but internally, he was still feeling rather apprehensive.
"Speaking of the key, there's something that I can't make sense of. According to City Lord E, five keys are required to access that restricted area, yet Fellow Daoist Li only has one, but City Lord E hasn't mentioned anything about searching for the other keys. Could it be that he's already gathered all of the remaining four keys?" Sun Tu speculated.
"Perhaps so," Han Li replied as he took a glance at Chen Yang, who didn't say anything.
"I wonder exactly how these keys are used. If City Lord E really does have all four of the remaining keys, and these keys are still useful after we enter the restricted area, then we would truly be at a severe disadvantage on all fronts, so we have to proceed with caution," Sun Tu continued.
This was something that Han Li had failed to consider, and if this were the case, then that really would be a cause for concern.
