Chapter 1787: 1787
"The two of you as well?" Wu Kuang frowned .
While the armies of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe had retreated from the Subterranean Galleries, there were still quite a few Otherworldly Demons lingering in the area . Since this was called an expedition, it went without saying that they would face a fair amount of danger . A teammate that was too weak could potentially drag down the entire group .
Of the two men standing before him, the adolescent boy had a pale face, which indicated that he was severely injured, and the young man had a sickly look on his face . Judging from their strength, it seemed like they had not even reached Saint 1-dan yet . Without a doubt, they would be a huge burden!
"I don't know why you wish to enter the Subterranean Gallery, but I would still like to offer you a word of advice . Don't treat your life as a joke!" Wu Kuang advised .
"I am thankful for your kind advice, Wu shi, but the two of us have a compelling reason to enter the Subterranean Gallery . Don't worry, we'll just follow at the back of your group . As for the dangers that may come, we'll bear them on our own so as to not drag you down!" Zhang Xuan replied with a kind smile .
To think that the day would come when an Aureate Body realm consummation cultivator like him would be looked down on by a Saint 4-dan cultivator… How stifling the situation was!
"If you are insistent on entering the Subterranean Gallery, then come along, but let me make this clear . Just as you said, I won't be able to guarantee your safety!" Wu Kuang said before falling silent .
In the end, everyone had their own lives to live . He had already done his part by offering the two men his advice, but they had still opted to tag along . Thus, if they really faced any danger, they could not blame them for not offering their help .
After all, no one there owed the duo anything . If they saved the two of them from danger, it would be out of the kindness of their hearts and not a duty .
"They are really courting death…"
"They must never have suffered any setbacks in their life, so they don't understand what danger means!"
Seeing the two of them insisting on joining them on the expedition to the Subterranean Gallery, looks of disdain appeared on the faces of the crowd .
As cultivators who had not even reached Saint 1-dan, they were incapable of flight . If danger came knocking, they would not even be able to escape . It was utter foolishness to enter the Subterranean Gallery in their current state!
Shaking their heads in disapproval, the crowd walked out of the decrepit clock tower and began making their way toward a building in front . Barely after walking for a couple of minutes, several combat masters appeared and stopped them .
"I am 7-star Master Teacher Wu Kuang . This is my travel permit!" Wu Kuang said .
One of the combat masters took the travel permit and examined it thoroughly before nodding in approval . "Alright, you may enter . You only have three days inside . You must make sure to leave the premises within three days, understood?"
"Rest assured, I understand!" Wu Kuang replied with a smile before leading the crowd in .
While the entrance of the Subterranean Gallery had been opened to allow ordinary master teachers and cultivators to enter, they still had to present travel permits in advance . Otherwise, if anyone was allowed to enter the Subterranean Gallery, it could lead to chaos . No matter what, it was still a sensitive area, so the Master Teacher Pavilion still had to establish some level of access control .
The entrance to the Icysea Subterranean Gallery was within the building .
As soon as the crowd entered the Subterranean Gallery, the first thing that they noticed was the disconcerting killing intent that drifted all around them .
Wu Kuang led the group to a clearing before instructing them to rest . "This is your first time in here, so your body will require some time to adapt to the conditions here . Otherwise, if the killing intent corrodes your consciousness, it might lead to inner demons breeding within you!"
Killing intent was not a force that should be underestimated . Cultivators with weaker mental resilience were extremely vulnerable to it, and the slightest lapse in one's guard could easily lead to irreparable trauma .
Even though most of the cultivators who had entered had reached Sainthood, they would still need some time for them to get used to the killing intent before it would be safe for them to walk around the area .
"Should we…" Seeing that the crowd was going to rest, Wu Chen turned his gaze toward Zhang Xuan to ask if they should proceed alone .
Even though they were injured and had not recovered their cultivation yet, killing intent of such a level could not pose a threat to them anymore . There was no need for them to waste precious time there .
"I understand what you are concerned about, but we can't rush this matter . Even if we hurry there in our current state, there will be nothing that we can do . It'll be better for us to slowly recover our strength while traveling; at the very least, it will be much safer this way!" Zhang Xuan said .
Even though the surrounding killing intent was disconcerting to humans, this was the kind of environment that Wu Chen had grown up in . He could recover far faster there than on the Master Teacher Continent .
Hearing those words, Wu Chen nodded in agreement .
It was indeed not advisable for them to rush over to confront Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing in their current states . Most likely, those two had already prepared some kind of trap for their return, so the least they could do was recover their cultivation before making a move .
Furthermore, remaining hidden was actually advantageous to the two of them . They would be able to keep track of Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing's movements and prepare countermeasures from the shadows .
The crowd sat down silently around the clearing as they struggled to get used to the uncomfortable killing intent around them . On the other hand, Zhang Xuan immersed his consciousness into his folded space and took out an artifact that stored spiritual energy . He discreetly absorbed the spiritual energy through his acupoints and refined it into Heaven's Path zhenqi .
