Chapter 553: Dilemma
Aside from Qin Sang, the other four were equally stunned.
Ziwei Palace had always felt like a distant matter. Its stage belonged to Core Formation and Spiritual Infant experts. Unless one had compelling reasons, like Qin Sang or Wandering Man, even those at the Fake Core Realm wouldn’t dare risk entering so easily.
In Ziwei Palace, they were nothing more than the lowest tier, where death could strike at any moment.
They had originally been stationed at Xuanlu Stronghold, waiting for the Spirit Tide to end so they could venture into the Ancient Immortal Battlefield in search of opportunity. None of them had expected to get involved in something like this.
The five of them looked at one another in silence.
Qin Sang felt even heavier than the rest. If he continued following Dongyang Bo, who knew what dangers awaited? And what about his own matters?
The Purple Cloud Fruit and the subsequent sections of the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment could only be obtained inside Ziwei Palace. If he missed this chance, there was no telling how long he’d have to wait for the next.
Yet what excuse could he use to refuse?
He racked his brain. Pretending to be injured or afraid of death wouldn’t work.
Once they neared Ziwei Palace, such lies would fall apart. And if Dongyang Bo discovered that one of his disciples had dared deceive a grandmaster, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Xuanwu Seal floated toward him. Qin Sang had no choice but to reach out and grab it.
The moment his fingers touched the seal, a thread of azure light suddenly shot out. Alarmed, Qin Sang instinctively tried to fling it away, but the thread was too fast.
