#163 - Chapter 163: Temptation in the Abyss

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the round platform landed on the ground.

Portals opened on all sides, but only one led to the palace.

The other portals led to underground checkpoints; one wrong step and you'd have to start all over again, which was not only dangerous but also a waste of time.

After landing, Ye Kong led the way with his hands behind his back.

"Master, don't wander off!" Lin Yaoyao called out, leading Little White and the others to follow, afraid that something might happen to their master inside.

"Master is really something, running around without even finding the right path," Little White muttered.

"Sigh, we'll be screwed over by Master sooner or later," Xiao Qing sighed and followed.

"Let's go," Su Qingwan called out, leading the Wan Hua Palace disciples behind them.

"Heh, if the Xiaoyao Peak doesn't leave early and falls into our hands, they'll wish they were dead!"

"What a pity, so many beauties are gone."

The Demonic Cult disciples watched the Xiaoyao Peak disciples leave, feeling somewhat regretful.

They had originally planned to deal with the Xiaoyao Peak after dealing with Yunlong.

On one hand, it was the order of the Demonic Music Palace, and on the other hand, the people of Xiaoyao Peak were handsome and beautiful.

Except for that child.

It was well known that the Demonic Cult had set its sights on Xiaoyao Peak.

But knowing was one thing, and no righteous cultivator would care.

Even the disciples of the other peaks of the Star River Sect didn't dare to participate rashly, so how could they expect people from other sects to take action?

"Demonic Cult disciples, listen up, try all the portals," someone from the Demonic Music Palace stepped out to arrange.

Trying one by one was too slow, so they directly arranged for people to enter behind all the portals; if there was danger, they would just die.

On the righteous side, all the sects fought separately, each choosing a portal to enter.

No one took the path that Ye Kong and the others took.

In their minds, Xiaoyao Peak must have been afraid of the Demonic Cult and just randomly chose a portal to run away.

There were more than a dozen portals here, and Xiaoyao Peak wouldn't be so lucky as to choose the right path.

Behind the portal.

Ye Kong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the chasm in front of him.

The so-called chasm was a broken wall in front, with no way forward, and a bottomless abyss below.

Once you fell, you would be doomed.

Lin Yaoyao and the others who followed were stunned when they saw the chasm in front of them.

"Did Master really find the right path?!" Lin Yaoyao said in shock.

With so many portals, Master was actually able to find the right path?

"Master, how did you discover that this path is the real one?" Little White asked curiously.

He had seen that all the portals were exactly the same, with no difference in aura and no special markings.

"Because this portal is the most inconspicuous," Ye Kong said calmly.

Little White and the others were stunned upon hearing this; it seemed that it was indeed the case.

This portal was the most inconspicuous and the easiest to overlook.

Lin Yaoyao looked up at her master, and couldn't help but think: "This is probably the so-called birds of a feather flock together."

Master was the most inconspicuous person in the Star River Sect; if it weren't for his handsome appearance, he would often be overlooked.

And Master was able to spot the most easily overlooked door at a glance, probably because he was used to it.

"Uncle-Master Ye Kong is so amazing, he was actually able to find the correct path," Su Qingwan followed and praised.

Ye Kong smiled and nodded, looking at the chasm in front of him, and called out: "Let's go!"

"How can we walk when there's no road?" Little White was stunned on the spot.

Ye Kong stepped into the void and soared into the air.

"There is an invisible barrier here, and the barrier condenses into a road; as long as you walk correctly, you won't fall," Su Qingwan said, and hurriedly followed behind Ye Kong.

There was a road on both sides of the chasm, an invisible road.

It was invisible to others, but clear to Ye Kong.

The crowd walked in a straight line, crossing the chasm.

When they reached the other side, there were still many people looking down.

But when they looked down, they were suddenly attracted by something, and their footsteps involuntarily walked down.

"Don't look down," Ye Kong shouted softly, awakening Little White and the others.

Little White and the others instantly came back to their senses, feeling lingering fear.

Just now, Little White seemed to see the final technique of the Scripture of Supreme Bliss, and almost went down to take a look.

Others also saw what they wanted in their hearts.

Although it was an illusion, they were still out of control.

Ye Kong walked forward with his hands behind his back.

The bottom of the abyss was a trap, and bait was placed on top of the trap.

Once you couldn't help but go down, you would die and disappear.

The crowd obediently followed behind their master, and Lin Yaoyao frowned when she saw Little White and the others still wanting to look down.

What exactly was at the bottom?

When they were about to reach the other shore, Lin Yaoyao glanced back.

With just this one glance, Lin Yaoyao was stunned on the spot and suddenly jumped down.

Sensing that Lin Yaoyao was about to fall, Ye Kong hurriedly turned around and grabbed Lin Yaoyao's hand.

Lin Yaoyao looked up at her master, and then came back to her senses.

"I told you, don't look down," Ye Kong said unhappily, and pulled Lin Yaoyao up.

Lin Yaoyao looked at her master for a long time without speaking.

"What did you see just now?" Ye Kong asked.

"No, I didn't see anything," Lin Yaoyao shook her head.

Ye Kong's brow furrowed; why would she jump down if she didn't see anything?

Oh well, as long as she was okay.

To prevent Lin Yaoyao from turning her head again, Ye Kong directly pulled Lin Yaoyao and walked to the other side.

It was a dangerous journey, but fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Lin Yaoyao broke free from her master's hand.

"Master, why are you not affected?" Little White asked curiously.

They couldn't help but look down subconsciously, but Master seemed to be unaffected from the beginning.

"Because I have no desires and no wants, and I can see through illusions," Ye Kong said with his hands behind his back.

Little White pouted; no desires and no wants sounded good, but in reality, it meant he had nothing.

Seeing through illusions meant he didn't dare to turn his head to look.

Little White didn't believe a word of what his master said.

After resting for a while, the crowd walked to the palace gate.

On the tall palace gate, the words 'Chang Gu' were written in golden seal script.

The gate was made of colored glaze, inlaid with crystals as decoration, and the corners of the colored glaze were edged with gold, which was very luxurious.

These two portals alone were worth a fortune.

Not to mention the continuous palaces inside that stretched for thousands of miles.

"The Chang Gu Grotto-Heaven is really extravagant," Su Qingwan said with emotion.

These two portals alone were enough for the annual consumption of her Wan Hua Peak.

Ye Kong walked to the door, and the door slowly opened, revealing bursts of fragrance inside.

The fragrance was refreshing.

Pushing open the door, what came into view was a large front yard, comparable to the main peak of Wan Hua Peak.

There were many kinds of flowers here, and they were still blooming, with a fragrant floral scent.

Behind the front yard was the first palace, which was also the Chang Gu Great Emperor's reception hall.

The reception hall looked very luxurious from the outside, with green bricks and golden tiles, and the two pillars outside the door were all gilded, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them.

Ye Kong led the way and walked in.

As soon as he stepped into the reception hall, suddenly immortal energy rose, the sound of silk and bamboo music rang out, and beautiful figures appeared, dancing gracefully in the immortal mist.

"Children, don't look!" Ye Kong retreated and covered Little White's eyes.

He thought of the Chang Gu Great Emperor's golden house.
