Chapter 3939 Secret Space

We were lucky this time, as we happened to catch the backlash from Mabarak's evil magic practice. Otherwise, I would have been no match for him, let alone have had the chance to kill him.

Aside from causing this scourge, it can also be considered a great deed.

Even after we've defeated Mabarak, our situation remains extremely dangerous. There's still a very powerful blood priest here who we can't defeat.

Although they killed Mabarak, they didn't kill Huo Qingfeng, the most important person in the group.

Having finally found this place, we certainly can't let this go. I feel that old bastard Huo Qingfeng is a much greater threat to us than Mabarak.

This old man is terrifyingly insidious, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to bite me at any moment—that's the most deadly thing about him.

After all, he was a top-notch scholar who could kill without leaving a trace.

If he finds out who my parents are, he only needs to set up a simple feng shui formation to harm my whole family.

When I was young, I didn't understand why my master only allowed me to go home once a year, and why I had to be very low-key and not even allowed to sleep in the house. Over the years, I have gradually come to understand Old Li's good intentions. He wanted to prevent me from getting too close to my family and to protect them better.

When Old Li was teaching me those techniques, he foresaw that my life would not be peaceful and that I would have enemies everywhere.

With all sorts of random thoughts running through my mind, Zhang Qing'an and I followed behind Kasang, walking quickly along the way.

Along the way, there were people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary coming and going everywhere. The smallest group had more than a dozen people, while the largest group had fifty or sixty.

They must know by now that we've killed Mabarak, and they'll definitely try everything to find us and avenge their leader.

Fortunately, each of us carries enough invisibility talismans to conceal our presence, so unless the opponent is a top-tier expert, they generally won't be able to detect us.

We walked forward for two or three miles in one breath, and the further we went, the more remote it became. We had already bypassed those ancient buildings and arrived at a place behind us.

I thought the slovenly Taoist priest and his group had escaped through the magic array that Yuan Kong and I had set up, but it seems they haven't. This place isn't the entrance to the array within an array that we set up.

After walking a little further, Kassan suddenly stopped and said to wait a moment.

After a while, Kassan beckoned us over.

Arriving at a dense thicket of grass, Kassan parted the grass and found several corpses hidden there, all dressed in red robes, undoubtedly members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary.

The wounds on these people were all sword wounds, clearly inflicted by Brother Gu and Chi Lang.

It seems that the slovenly Taoist priest and his companions must have headed in this direction.

There are the fewest people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary here, so there must be a reason why the slovenly Taoist priest and his group are heading this way.

Kassan hid the bodies again, and we continued on our way.

As I walked, I suddenly sensed the aura of the magic array again. After walking a few hundred meters more, I saw the magic array ahead.

This magic circle is rather strange; black and red mists are intertwined and constantly churning.

"Kasang, are you sure Lao Luo and the others are around here?" I asked, somewhat doubtful.

“Definitely. I’ve locked onto their auras; they’re behind the magic circle,” Kassan said decisively.

"So, they've already broken through the magic array and entered the space behind it?" I asked seriously.

“This must be a rather important place in the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. The people who guarded this place before were all dealt with by them. I don’t know how they discovered it,” Zhang Qing’an added.

“Brother Luo must think there’s treasure behind this magic circle, so he called everyone over,” Kassan said with a smile.

“You really know Luo Laoliu. He’ll never let go of any opportunity to make money.” I completely agreed with Kasang’s statement.

"You know what, since there's a magic array here, it must be protecting something important. Maybe the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's treasure vault is behind this array. Little Jie, hurry up and think of a way to break the array so we can go in. We've come all this way, we can't miss this chance to make a fortune," Zhang Qing'an urged.

"Old Comrade Zhang, you're really obsessed with money." I shook my head helplessly.

"I've worked hard for most of my life, fighting and killing with you youngsters, can't I make a little more money and enjoy myself?" Zhang Qing'an said without hesitation. The sixth brother's temperament became more and more refined and otherworldly, giving the impression that the younger generation was pushing the older generation aside and leaving us, the primitive sixth brothers, on the beach.

I took a few steps closer to the magic circle, observed it carefully, and then said, "Since Brother Gu and the others have already gone in, it means that a gap has been opened in the magic circle. The person who opened the gap must be Yuan Kong. I know his methods of breaking the formation very well. Follow me, and I will find the gap that Yuan Kong opened and take you in."

As I spoke, I walked around the magic circle for two hundred meters and soon sensed the existence of a magic circle within a magic circle.

Yuan Kong has become shrewd now. Instead of breaking the formation, he sets up his own formation within it, as long as he can get inside.

A few minutes later, I found the entrance to the magic array set up in the round sky, and led Kasang and Zhang Qing'an inside.

The magic array arranged in the round space was well-organized and quite safe. As the saying goes, "One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade." We passed through the magic array without much effort and arrived at a space behind it.

When I got here, I was a little confused. There was nothing special behind the magic circle. All I could see were dense forests and a few rolling hills.

Even after arriving here, we still dared not let our guard down, and kept using the invisibility talismans on our bodies.

"There's nothing special about this place..." I blurted out.

"Let's go, Brother Luo and the others aren't far from here," Kassan called out.

Then, we followed Kassan and continued forward, passing through a dense forest and arriving at a place deep in the mountains.

Kassan wandered around the mountainside for a while, then used his magic sword to part a large clump of tangled vines, revealing a hole.

The opening is not large; it can only accommodate two people side by side at most.

“Brother Wu, Senior Zhang, Brother Luo and the others are in this cave. Shall we go in?” Kasang asked.

"Of course we have to go in. I want to see what kind of trouble Luo Laoliu is up to in this godforsaken place." I said, and was the first to dart into the cave.
