Chapter 542 Back To The Upper House

In front of Lu Yu, a long and thin crystal floated in the air.

As Lu Yu continued to inject energy into the crystal, cracks began to appear on the surface of the crystal.

Rays of purple light shot out from the cracks and lit the entire room.

Xu Yuan and Han Xuefei couldn't help but feel nervous. This was the first time they had seen a portal being opened like this, and they feared it would fail.

Bang!

The next moment, the crystal exploded, and a brilliant light scattered out, making them close their eyes.

When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a huge circular crack floating in the air.

It was pitch black inside the crack, and nothing could be seen clearly. It was like an endless space of darkness.

The edges of the portal were bright purple, and it looked very dazzling.

Lu Yu stared at the portal in front of him and said, "The portal is now open. We can go back."

As soon as he said this, Xu Yuan was anxious.

"Going out halfway through a trip to these ancient ruins was simply unimaginable in the past. It's such a rule-breaking act that it changed my way of thinking!"

Xu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim. At the same time, he was surprised at the confidentiality of the Truth Department. Even he, who was in the military, didn't know about this crystal.

"Alright, we'll go back after passing through the portal."

Lu Yu spoke as he walked toward the portal.

At that moment, Xu Yuan grabbed Lu Yu's arm.

"Lu Yu, let me in first. What if there's something wrong with this portal?"

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "What problem can there be?"

"What if? You're very important right now, so I can't let you take this risk first. Let me in first!"

Lu Yu was too lazy to argue with him, even though he was sure there was no problem with the portal. "Since you want to be the first to enter, go ahead."

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly and didn't say anything more.

After hearing this, Xu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and walked toward the portal.

He raised his leg and walked through the portal, plunging into the darkness.

After a few seconds, Lu Yu and Han Xuefei were still waiting.

Meanwhile...

A large group of people suddenly gathered in the upper house's square.

A teleportation portal suddenly appeared around the square, causing the surrounding students to crowd around it and stare at the portal with curiosity.

"What is this? Why would a crack appear out of nowhere?"

"What the hell? This doesn't make sense!"

"What's going on? Is it a new skill of some instructor?"

"Where does this portal lead to?"

"What a rare phenomenon; why don't you report it?"

At that moment, an instructor walked through the crowd and looked at the portal.

"What are you guys doing here? Who made this portal?" He loudly demanded.

However, the students around them all shook their heads.

"Sir, this has nothing to do with us."

"It appeared out of nowhere; we were all puzzled too."

"Yeah, we can all testify that's the truth!"

Seeing that they were so certain, the instructor was puzzled. What exactly was going on with this portal?

However, the next moment, a figure leapt out, shocking the surrounding people. They quickly got ready for battle.

"Who is it?" The instructor shouted as he took out his weapon.

But the next moment, when he focused his eyes, he immediately revealed a surprised expression.

"It's you? Xu Yuan?"

"Why are you here? Didn't you enter the ancient ruins with the group?"

The surrounding people looked at Xu Yuan in surprise. They didn't expect the person who appeared from the portal to be Xu Yuan!

"No way. Didn't he enter the ancient ruins?"

"Isn't it always said that the ancient ruins are inaccessible, even from the inside? It's supposed to be open for only one month each year!"

"What the hell? What's going on?"

Xu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he walked through the portal.

When he first entered the darkness, he was uncertain where he would appear. But when he returned to this familiar environment, he heaved a sigh of relief.

The teleportation gate was working well, and there were no problems.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Lu Yu, you can come over now. There are no problems!"

"Received."

The next moment, two more figures walked out of the portal.

When Lu Yu's figure walked out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"Woah! It's Lu Yu! He's also coming out?"

"What's with this portal? Such a thing can't be real!"

"To open the teleportation portal of the ancient ruins, three top-notch array mages are required. They must also use the teleportation scroll left behind from an ancient era to open the array at a specific time!"

"So, how did it open?"

They all exclaimed in surprise, with their eyes full of disbelief.

The instructor quickly walked over and looked at Lu Yu, asking, "Lu Yu, what's the situation with this portal?"

Behind Lu Yu, Han Xuefei also walked out of the portal as all three passed through it.

Lu Yu scanned his surroundings and finally set his eyes on the instructor.

"It seems like we've made it out."

"I know you're all very curious, but I'm pressed for time and need to do something."

He turned back to look at the portal again and was surprised to find that it had become smaller!

"Damn it; this portal doesn't seem to last long!"

Lu Yu's words caused Xu Yuan and Han Xuefei to look over hurriedly. The two of them immediately became nervous when they saw what had happened.

"What should we do? If the portal closes, we won't be able to go back!"

"If we can't go back, the rest of them would be in trouble due to the reduction in combat capabilities. It's bad if something were to happen!" Xu Yuan added nervously.

At that moment, Lu Yu carefully stared at the portal.

"It's not a big problem for now. When we were just teleported here, it shrank a little. If I'm not wrong, it should shrink only every once in a while, not at a constant speed."

"Now, quickly do everything that needs to be done, and then we have to go through the portal again!"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "Do you know how to contact the people from the military?"

"We can contact each other directly by phone," Xu Yuan answered. "But I think it's best to go to their base in person. There's one in the suburbs of Ixdale."

Lu Yu nodded. "Okay, let's go over then. We'll talk things out face-to-face."

At that moment, Han Xuefei picked up her phone and said, "I'd like to call my family first and ask about their situation."

Lu Yu nodded, "No problem …

At this moment, a figure flew toward them from the sky.

Jiang Lengyue's figure slowly descended, landing before Lu Yu.
