Chapter 237: 236. Purchase Sword Control Skill! (1/4) Someone couldn’t help but speak up, swallowed hard, and asked the question he hardly dared to believe, "Big brother, do you feel there’s something wrong? It seems like we haven’t moved from earlier till now."
"Nonsense."
Sun Xi coldly rebuked.
Not moved?
He had been running wildly for almost fifteen minutes.
With his Upper Profound Realm speed, he should have reached the top of the mountain by now, no matter how high this mountain is, there should be an end.
"But, big brother, take a look for yourself."
The person pointed at the Sword Stele.
If looking just at the bottom of the mountain was too vague, then the Sword Stele was quite clear, as it was right where the stone steps began.
Sun Xi turned his back indifferently, not looking would be one thing, but seeing it was quite a shock.
"This!"
He wanted to say, why is the Sword Stele still here?
"Big brother, stop dawdling, this place is very strange. Maybe we shouldn’t climb the mountain. It’s just a small Sect, they probably don’t dare to talk nonsense. We should leave first, or else the Half-Step Divine Profound of the Yue Family will soon arrive."
The Half-Step Divine Profound was indeed coming soon.
But thinking a small sect wouldn’t dare to talk nonsense? Sun Xi didn’t believe it.
Facing the real Three-star Influence, Yue Family, surely the pressure is greater than from their fake Three-star Influence.
"No, we’ve already been exposed, it wouldn’t be any different from directly confessing to the Yue Family that our Sun Family did it."
"Big brother, then what should we do? We can’t get up there, are we trapped in a Maze Array?"
"Your words aren’t without reason, we are likely trapped in a Maze Array, everything we see is fake."
Sun Xi nodded, not saying anything further.
His gaze fell on the peak of Yunlan Mountain, revealing a hint of poison in his expression, instantly cursing in his heart: This little sect of a place actually has a Maze Array that can trap someone in the Upper Profound Realm, and we’ve encountered it.
What bad luck!
Sun Xi moved his hand and took out a treasured item from his Storage Ring that pained him, "It’s fine, I have a Seeking Truth Pearl here, specifically to counter Maze Arrays. Originally intended to be used when encountering ruins in the future, but it must be used now."
Using it when encountering ruins was indeed true.
But the Seeking Truth Pearl’s efficacy is meant for breaking Maze Arrays that can trap the Divine Profound.
Using it here is like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
"Big brother!"
"What luck, thankfully big brother has a Seeking Truth Pearl, otherwise the three of us would be trapped by the Maze Array for who knows how long."
The two were delighted.
Sun Xi felt a pang of regret.
Still, he crushed the Seeking Truth Pearl directly with his hand, waiting for it to guide the way to safety.
Bang!
A glow dispersed.
The two beside Sun Xi eagerly anticipated, smiling brightly.
But, as all the glow faded away, a safe path never appeared.
Their smiles halted abruptly, gradually turning into a bewildered state.
"Big brother, was your Seeking Truth Pearl fake?"
Sun Xi didn’t expect this outcome, responded immediately, "I exchanged it using Yellow Level Middle Grade Vein Technique. Plus, it was in the Hundred Sects Alliance’s trading hall, it can’t be fake."
"Then this..."
The speaker gestured to the unchanged surroundings.
"Damn it."
Sun Xi cursed angrily, was a fifty-thousand-gold Seeking Truth Pearl wasted like that? No effect at all.
"Big brother, maybe one isn’t enough?"
"Not enough, your grandma, stop talking nonsense, go clear the way immediately."
Sun Xi cursed angrily, kicked the person beside him on the butt, as hard as he could.
Releasing his frustration over the wasted Seeking Truth Pearl.
...
Yunlan Mountain.
Wen Ping watched this scene expressionlessly, he had just dragged Qiangzi’s corpse onto the mountain when Zhao Yi, who was cleaning the plaza, noticed.
Zhao Yi hurriedly ran to Wen Ping, asking, "Sect Leader, what happened?"
