Chapter 1697 Traps Everywhere
On the other side, Zhu Xing quickly traversed the city. He stopped in a deserted spot, took a swig of wine, and said, "Woman, you've been chasing me for so long, could it be that you've taken a fancy to me?"
Seven-colored light flashed out, and then a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of Chasing Stars.
Zhu Xing smiled and looked at the woman in front of him, saying, "An Miaoyun, you've been chasing me for so long, are you planning to throw yourself into my arms? Let me make this clear first, I can give in to you, but I won't take responsibility. Don't bother me in the future!"
An Miaoyun glared at Zhu Xing and said, "Get lost! You think I'd even look at you?"
"If you don't like me, why did you chase me all this way?" Zhu Xing said with a pout.
"You really didn't kill him?" An Miaoyun asked. "A master of both sword and saber, able to kill Chen Xiao, one of the three heroes of the Heavenly Mystery Hall, in such a short time, is not something an ordinary person can do!"
“Although Chen Xiao is a bit weaker than the rest of us, he is already at the peak of the Venerable realm. And this is the Heavenly Mystery Hall’s home ground, so he can at least control a mechanical puppet that is close to that of a Saint!” An Miaoyun said, “Even you find it hard to believe that you killed him so quickly!”
“I’ve already said it wasn’t me, why won’t you believe me? And why do you think it was one person? Why not several people working together?” Zhu Xing said.
An Miaoyun pouted and said, "Fine, if you say it's not you, then it's not you. Zhu Xing, you came here for the blueprints too, right? The Heavenly Mystery Cauldron is just a side effect!"
Zhu Xing said, "What picture? I came here specifically for the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron. What could be more precious than the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron?"
"Stop pretending!" An Miaoyun said, "Didn't you come here for that legendary blueprint?"
Zhu Xing coughed and said, "So what if it is? You said it yourself, it's just a legend. Countless people have come and gone from this Immortal Platform over the endless years, and countless people have died here. The blueprints are just a mirage."
“It’s different this time. With the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron appearing, I think the blueprints will also appear!” An Miaoyun said. “You’ve seen the current situation. Besides us from the Seven Gods Sect, there’s another force that’s no less powerful than us. In this place, even you wouldn’t dare to confront Li Xingran head-on! So, how about we cooperate?”
"Once we have the blueprints, how about our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and your Immortal Island cooperate to enter the world together?" An Miaoyun asked.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xing said, "It's not impossible, but I have a condition!"
“Tell me!” An Miaoyun asked.
"Are you really not going to consider sleeping with me? I won't make you take responsibility!" Zhu Xing said.
An Miaoyun gave him a disgruntled look, then said with a flicker of her eye, "If we can get that thing, I wouldn't mind a casual fling!"
"That's great!" Zhu Xing chuckled.
……
On the other side, Ye Qing and Yan Song recovered for a short time. Ye Qing was seriously injured by that punch, but the Tianluo Body has a strong self-healing ability. After resting for a while, Ye Qing felt that he had recovered to about 70-80%.
"Let's go, let's continue searching for the Heavenly Secret Cauldron!" Ye Qing said.
Yan Song nodded and said, "I just went to the rooftop to take a look! This place is built against the mountain, and the entire complex is like a city, spread all over the mountain. And at the highest point on the mountaintop, there seems to be a tower!"
“But…” Yan Song hesitated for a moment before saying, “But it’s strange. I could tell at a glance that the tower was probably unusual. Logically, they should have been able to sense it too, and those people from the Heavenly Mystery Hall should have been even more so. But I sensed several fighting auras, and they were still wandering around the buildings below. It seemed that no one was going to the tower!”
Upon hearing Yan Song's words, Ye Qing also went to the rooftop!
Sure enough, at the highest point of the city, there was a pagoda that emitted a glow in the darkness, looking extremely eye-catching!
Ye Qing pondered, "The buildings in this Heavenly Mystery Hall seem to be able to be transformed into puppets. Perhaps there's something strange about that place!"
"Shall we go?" Yan Song asked.
"Since we're already here, we should definitely go!" Ye Qing said. "Let's go..."
Yan Song nodded, and then the two of them continued walking on the rooftop. However, after walking for a short while, Ye Qing sensed danger again!
They seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism, and suddenly countless terrifying beams of light appeared all around them!
They quickly used teleportation to create distance, while the beams of light blasted into the buildings, piercing them through in an instant!
Ye Qing gasped.
He had experienced the strength of these buildings before. Even now, he would find it difficult to break through their defenses, but this beam of light could break through them with ease!
"Is this Heavenly Mystery Hall primarily based on mechanisms and puppets?" Ye Qing asked.
"I think I know why those people have been hiding here all this time and didn't go upstairs immediately!" Yan Song said with a wry smile, "There are probably a lot of traps here, and the attack strength of these traps is extremely high. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand the attack of these traps. If you are not careful, you may trigger a trap and die here!"
Ye Qing nodded in agreement and said, "It's a pity that our mental power is suppressed here and we can't use it! Otherwise, we might be able to proceed more smoothly, but now we can only move forward little by little!"
……
Just as Ye Qing and Yan Song slowed down, on the other side! Li Xingran and another woman from the Heavenly Mystery Hall met up!
"Chen Xiao is dead? How is that possible? In this place, even Zhu Xing couldn't possibly kill him!" the woman said in disbelief.
"But that's the truth!" Li Xingran said through gritted teeth, "Zhu Xing said he didn't do it, but I don't think he's lying. There are probably other hidden experts. We need to hurry. If we don't bring back the Heavenly Mystery Cauldron and the blueprints, we... won't be able to explain ourselves!"
