Chapter 228: Attempt to Break the Barrier
Qin Sang glanced at Wandering Man, noticing that he stood with several fellow disciples from the Taiyi Core Sect. Their gazes met briefly, and they exchanged polite nods without speaking further. Both focused their attention on Che Yutao, uncertain about the tasks the Golden Core cultivators would assign to them.
After witnessing the earlier scene, everyone’s expressions grew heavy with unease. Even the smile on Mu Yifeng’s face had long disappeared, as he realized this mission might not be as promising as it first seemed.
Four Golden Core cultivators working together had been unable to overcome the black hole. Worse, they had been forced to retreat when the dark light counterattacked. If such a formidable barrier existed just outside the ancient cultivator’s mansion, how much more dangerous would it be inside?
Some had joked before that they were mere cannon fodder, paving the way for others. Now, it seemed that grim jest might become a reality.
Unfortunately, they knew little about the full details of the clues or the ancient cultivator’s mansion.
Qin Sang's mind raced as he evaluated his situation. With his artifacts and three malevolent corpses, his strength was not among the weakest here.
Weighing the risks and rewards, Qin Sang resolved to prioritize his survival over treasures. There might not even be anything within the mansion worth risking his life for. His goal was simple: stay alive.
"Senior Brother Mu..."
Qin Sang transmitted a message to Mu Yifeng. "These seniors—aside from Senior Uncle Che and Senior Uncle Xuanyu—I have never met before. Could you help introduce them to me so I don’t accidentally offend someone later?"
