"Don't rush to leave; everyone can sit down and talk for a bit. Please don't give up halfway."
Xiao Xingkong frowned, his expression darkening as he looked at Fang Chen, confusion evident in his eyes.
Fang Chen was actually fine?
He had been paying close attention to that side and had clearly seen Fang Chen sitting next to the Thunder Barrier for quite some time. This should mean that Fang Chen had released his Divine Consciousness.
However, as far as he knew, anyone's Divine Consciousness would be instantly annihilated upon entering the Thunder Barrier, making it impossible to succeed. Moreover, even if the Divine Consciousness were to perish, the Thunder Barrier would still unleash terrifying lightning based on the remnants left by the user.
In other words, Fang Chen should have been directly killed by the Frenzy lightning of the Thunder Barrier. Once Fang Chen died, his soul would immediately be drawn away by the remaining three unburned incense sticks, turning him into a sacrificial offering and reigniting one of the incense sticks.
It could be said that the Thunder Barrier was a certain death trap for Fang Chen. Whether entering it himself or using Divine Consciousness to probe it first, he should ultimately face death. The only difference would be whether he died at the hands of the terrifying Pangolin Demon inside or was struck down by the Frenzy lightning within the Thunder Barrier.
Yet now, Fang Chen was somehow alive and well!
Xiao Xingkong felt something was off.
Could it be that this guy never released his Divine Consciousness at all and was just pretending to turn around and fool everyone in an attempt to escape?
Xiao Xingkong speculated this but wasn't entirely sure. After all, although he hadn't sensed Fang Chen's Divine Consciousness Power earlier, the other party didn't seem like someone who was faking it.
"Whether you're genuine or just pretending doesn't matter; we'll find out soon enough," Xiao Xingkong muttered to himself with a glint of cold light in his eyes.
Raising his head, his fierce expression transformed into a smile as he walked toward Fang Chen and said, "Let's go over there; I want to discuss the mysteries of this place with you."
Fang Chen, who had initially planned to turn around and insist on leaving with Zuo Zongshou, paused when he saw Xiao Xingkong approaching. He stopped right next to the Thunder Barrier.
Before long, Zuo Zongshou and six Thick Earth Sect warriors led by Xiao Xingkong arrived beside the Thunder Barrier.
"You are called Fang..."
"Fang Chen."
"Oh, Fang Chen." Xiao Xingkong nodded, finally remembering his name. "I just saw you seemed to sense something with your Divine Consciousness. Did you discover anything? We can have an open discussion; perhaps we can find a way in. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Xiao Xingkong's gaze was fixed intently on Fang Chen, as if trying to discern something from him.
"I didn't find anything. A strand of my Divine Consciousness was immediately obliterated by lightning as soon as it entered," Fang Chen shrugged, appearing helpless.
Beside them, Zuo Zongshou looked at the Thunder Barrier before him, his pupils constricting slightly. He had already been subtly warned by Fang Chen not to probe with his Divine Consciousness. He understood that there was an unspoken part of Fang Chen's warning: if his Divine Consciousness entered, not only would it not be destroyed, but he himself would also be blasted to pieces by the incoming lightning.
"What malicious intent!" Seeing the puzzled expressions of Xiao Xingkong and his group, Zuo Zongshou gritted his teeth in anger. At this point, how could he not realize that this was a trap set by the Thick Earth Sect members for them to fall into?
"You released a strand of Divine Consciousness into it?" Qian Sheng's expression turned strange. The other Thick Earth Sect warriors also looked doubtful, thinking it odd.
They had studied the Thunder Abyss for a long time, and anyone who had previously sent out a strand of Divine Consciousness would immediately be struck down like thunder igniting the Inferno Chamber. The Thunder Abyss would instantly fill with Frenzy lightning, annihilating any intruder in an instant. Even those who reached the Peak of the Transformation Realm were no exception.
There had never been an exception!
Yet after Fang Chen released his Divine Consciousness, he was still standing there alive, which was clearly illogical.
"I've tried and found that there's really no way to break through the barrier. Sorry, I think we can't help you," Fang Chen said regretfully with a sigh. "I think it's time for us to leave."
"Can't we discuss this calmly?" Xiao Xingkong's expression darkened as he gazed at Fang Chen, a dangerous aura beginning to emanate from him.
"I really can't help you," Fang Chen shook his head and insisted on leaving.
"Young Master!" Qian Sheng exclaimed.
Xiao Xingkong pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "You two have received so much information from me and I've shared this place rich in Thunder Crystals with you. Now you suddenly want to leave; isn't that inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate?" Zuo Zongshou laughed. "How is it inappropriate?"
"I won't just share all this information with you for nothing," Xiao Xingkong became increasingly impolite. "You've already listened; you must participate now. Want to leave? Not happening!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, a hint of fear flashing across his face as he forced himself to say, "Why are you being so domineering? Are you trying to force us into an alliance? We want to leave; do you still want to make a move? My master is..."
He shouted like a novice Little One.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xingkong and his group couldn't help but sneer disdainfully.
“Young Master, why waste time with this useless person? If soft tactics don't work, let's use hard ones!” Qian Sheng interrupted Fang Chen's shouting with a cold laugh.
The other four warriors from the Thick Earth Sect, who had barely maintained their composure until now, suddenly revealed fierce expressions upon hearing that they were going to completely tear off the facade. Their faces, filled with muscle, turned menacing as they looked at Fang Chen and Zuo Zongshou, their eyes brimming with Killing Intent.
“What... what do you want?” Seeing this scene, Fang Chen appeared utterly terrified, trembling and pale, his face filled with fear. “Please don’t kill me... I... I…”
In a stuttering voice, Fang Chen seemed to completely break down and suddenly turned around, diving straight into the Thunder Abyss, which was filled with Frenzy thunder.
“Junior Brother!” Zuo Zongshou's expression changed drastically. Gritting his teeth, he followed closely behind Fang Chen, plunging into the abyss.
In just a breath's time, the two completely vanished from the sight of Xiao Xingkong and his group.
“Young Master, should we chase them?” someone asked.
With a fierce glare at the speaker, Xiao Xingkong replied coldly, “Chase? Have you forgotten about that big fellow inside? Are you looking for death?”
After a pause, Xiao Xingkong gazed in the direction where Fang Chen had disappeared, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth. “It's better that they went in; it saves us the trouble of taking action. The remaining three sticks of Soul-Searching Incense will soon be lit again. We are not far from igniting all nine. By then, that big fellow will be at our mercy. Heh heh, a peak Primordial Embryo Realm thunder-type beast is a treasure trove…”
