Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050: Die One by One or Die Together

As you slowly stood up, a shout of surprise from Li Yichen came from above, and then, Su Lang suddenly plummeted down with Li Yichen in tow. When they were about ten meters from the ground, their descent slowed, and they gently landed.

"Damn it, damn it! You scared the hell out of me, are you settling personal scores here!" Li Yichen quickly extricated himself from Su Lang’s grasp and rushed to your side, tearfully accusing Su Lang.

Before long, Zai Juejue also descended with Pang Yuxuan in tow; both of them landed with impressive skill, prompting you to raise an eyebrow and say with a smile, "Not bad, it seems I’ve brought the right people this time."

While you were talking, Pu Qixian rapidly descended with seven subordinates and all landed in front of you.

"Li Muyun, although I can’t control you, this place has been designated as a forbidden area by the Chu Sect. Without my permission, you cannot take another step forward..."

Pu Qixian hadn’t finished his boastful and cool declaration when you already took a step forward.

"What’s the matter, you own this cave?"

"You’re seeking death!"

A man in a leather jacket next to Pu Qixian roared, his body engulfed in flames as he moved to throw himself at you.

"Fire Fist, calm down!"

At the shout, the man known as Fire Fist stopped in his tracks but still glared at you with a ferocious expression.

Pu Qixian turned and stared at you coldly, "Li Muyun, I don’t want to repeat myself. If you really want to go in and seek death, I won’t stop you, but you cannot interfere with my work. Otherwise, I don’t mind breaking the rules of the Chu Sect and blowing you to smithereens right here in this dark underground!"

"Heh."

You laughed coldly, the more Pu Qixian acted this way, the more you felt there was something fishy going on. It seemed like they were trying to cover something up.

Of course, since coming out of the Map of Kingdom, you had changed quite a bit compared to before, and what you feared least now was provocation!

As you were about to step forward, Su Lang said to you with a cheery grin, "Old Shu, have you watched ’The Death God is Coming’?"

Taken aback, you turned to look at Su Lang, raising an eyebrow and asking, "I have, what about it?"

"Let’s mark them and see if they die one by one or all together."

At that moment, Su Lang grabbed his sword scabbard, which suddenly glowed with a deep purple light. Then, the longsword spun rapidly together with the scabbard in thin air. Su Lang reached out to grab the scabbard, gave a casual flick, and immediately, seven rays of light scattered, each hitting the backs of Pu Qixian’s seven followers, marking them with the numbers one through seven.

However, aside from you and Su Lang, the other people couldn’t see these seven deep purple numbers at all.

In the eyes of the eight people with Pu Qixian, Su Lang’s action just then seemed like a mere juggling act.

"Hey, hey, my friends, since you’re here to save people, then please go ahead quickly," said Su Lang with a grin.

Seeing you not speaking, Pu Qixian snorted coldly and, quite smugly, turned around and walked into the dark depths.

After they’d gone about ten meters away, Su Lang walked up beside you, smiling, and pointing at the backs of those seven people said, "Old Shu, can you feel it too?"

You nodded, "Yeah, there’s a barrier ahead, and it’s heavy with filth energy."

"Filth energy?" Your words made Su Lang’s expression turn strange; clearly, his feeling was different from yours. "Old Shu, are you saying that the dense aura ahead is filth energy?"

"Mhm."

Your expression grew solemn as you nodded and said, "The environment ahead is highly unusual. It’s not an independent barrier, but a domain gradually isolated by the spreading filth energy. Moreover, I saw ordinary people there."

"Ordinary people?"

Zai Juejue also frowned and said to you, "Since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and catch up."

You nodded, and at the same time, the phone in your pocket rang.

You answered it and discovered it was Xu Hai calling.

"Haizi, what’s up?"

Old Shu, I just received news that, a little more than an hour ago, the subway on line thirteen bizarrely derailed, leading to a severe tunnel collapse. Geographically speaking, your current location shouldn’t be too far from the accident site."

After a moment of thought, you said to Xu Hai, "Hmm, your information is timely. It seems that this hole is directly related to that accident. Contact the hospitals right away and ask them to form a few medical teams. We will be sending people up to them in succession."

Thinking this, you took out a red paper charm from your pocket, folded it into a Thousand Paper Cranes, and sent it flying towards Xu Hai.

"In a moment, the signal will be lost, and we’ll communicate through the Thousand Paper Cranes."

After Xu Hai responded, you turned to Su Lang and the others beside you and said, "Everyone, be careful. Ahead lies great danger, and a moment’s negligence could cost you your lives."

Li Yichen boasted nonchalantly, "Relax, aren’t there eight fools leading the way? We can just ’lay back’ and follow them. No matter what demons or ghosts appear, they’ll be the ones to face them first."

Ignoring this fool, you gave Zai Juejue a meaningful glance, then took a firm stride forward.

To your slight surprise, in just the short time it took for the conversation, the filth barrier in front of you had expanded by about a meter.

Frowning, eight yellow cinnabar charms flew out from your pocket, arranging themselves in the air into the Bagua Formation and emitting a golden glow.

"Demon Trapping Spell!"

As you uttered the incantation firmly, the golden light spread out, forming a huge golden net, blocking the black barrier that kept expanding outward.

Zai Juejue walked over and told you in a low voice, "There must be more than one exit for the expansion of this barrier."

"Mm, I understand that." You turned to Zai Juejue. "This is all I can do for now. We’ll have to see the rest after we get in."

Zai Juejue nodded, his expression also becoming grave, "It’s probably some power causing trouble. Ordinary people can’t pull off something like this."

Su Lang spoke with a carefree attitude, "Just by looking at that Pu Family kid caught in the act, you can tell. As soon as he heard Old Shu was going in, panic was written all over his face—he was scared his secret affair would be exposed."

"Whether it’s the Pu Family’s doing or not, we need to locate the source of this filth energy as soon as possible. We can’t let it spread any further."

With that said, you stepped boldly into the filth barrier.

Li Yichen and the others immediately followed.

It was very dark ahead, and with your Sen Luo Eye, you naturally ignored the darkness, but that didn’t mean Li Yichen and his group could.

"Heh heh, Brother’s the smart one, knowing we’d enter the darkness, so I was prepared with a Wolf’s eye flashlight."

As he spoke, Li Yichen took out two flashlights from his backpack, giving one to Pang Yuxuan beside him and keeping one for himself.

Note 1: Wu and Yue dialect phrase, meaning "in an unhurried manner," "relaxed," or something along those lines.
