Chapter 1162: Chapter 1160: Taking a Risk!

"If you want to go to the Hidden Gate, there is another way, but it depends on whether you dare to take the risk,"

Suddenly, an old man emerged from the darkness!

It was the Demon Clan elder who had always protected Ren Feifan in secret!

He would not appear normally, only showing himself in moments of life and death.

Last time, the Saint Gate almost met its demise at the hands of Ye Youde, but this Demon Clan elder, even upon seeing it, remained unmoved!

Thus, Ren Feifan didn’t pay much attention to him.

"Why have you come out?" Ren Feifan asked displeased.

However, the Demon Clan elder ignored Ren Feifan’s displeasure and leisurely walked to the place where the divine gate had risen, squatted down, grabbed a handful of yellow soil, sniffed it gently at the tip of his nose, and then scattered the soil back onto the ground.

"The entrance has been closed for some time now. If I’m not mistaken, the Ye family behind the Outer Hidden Sect has a greater, unknown power; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to influence those in charge of the entrances. Once you go to the Hidden Gate, you will understand how important power and family are. It is virtually impossible for one person to survive there alone," the Demon Clan elder said gravely.

Although Ren Feifan didn’t like this guy, he was clearly his only hope of getting to the Hidden Gate at this moment, so he crossed his arms and said with interest, "Old man, what is the way to the Hidden Gate? Since you’ve come out now, you must know, right?"

The Demon Clan elder smiled mysteriously, pointed at Ren Feifan and then lightly swiped his hand across his neck, saying, "The method is simple: you need to die!"

Ren Feifan was startled and even thought the Demon Clan elder was mocking him. He said angrily, "What’s the point if I’m dead? Old man, be serious, do you actually know or not!"

The Demon Clan elder was not at all offended—instead, he smiled and said, "The death I speak of is not real death, but a feigned death because besides those few official entrances to the Hidden Gate, there is actually a special entry known to very few people; it’s called the path of death, as only the dead can enter it!"

Was he supposed to feign his death and then sneak into some place?

Ren Feifan grew increasingly suspicious and his eyes twinkled with doubt.

Seemingly noticing Ren Feifan’s confusion, the Demon Clan elder continued, "Let me tell you more, young man. In fact, the Hidden Gate has a special force that has been studying cultivator corpses for a thousand years. However, the cultivators of the Hidden Gate are almost all affiliated with powerful sects, and according to the demands of their sects, their bodies must be kept intact. Thus, they can only target the bodies of secular cultivators, and thus this ’path of death’ came to be."

I won’t elaborate on the specifics, but if you truly want to go to the Hidden Gate, this is the only way now, and there’s even a time limit; you have only ten days. After ten days, you must return via this so-called path of death, otherwise, the special department of the Hidden Gate will detect your presence, and then, you will be truly confined to that place forever!"

Ren Feifan sensed the seriousness in the other’s words. The Demon Clan elder clearly meant that he had to enter through this "path of death" and had to come back within ten days, or else the powerful figures of the Hidden Gate would annihilate him!

"Young man, what do you think? If it weren’t for the Dragon King’s orders to take care of you when necessary, I wouldn’t take such a risk," said the Demon Clan elder.

"Alright!"

Ren Feifan pondered for a moment before deciding.

"Since you’ve agreed, meet me at the top of Nanyin Mountain in Pujiang City at exactly 12 tonight. Remember to prepare yourself! There’s no turning back once you’re in,"

With that, without waiting for Ren Feifan to react, the Demon Clan elder disappeared as if he had never been there.

After that, Ren Feifan went straight back to Saint Gate and the Feifan Group headquarters to give some instructions.

With Luo Yin stationed at Saint Gate and Ye Chuchen at Feifan Group, he felt quite relieved.

Xu Shihan, learning that Ren Feifan was hurriedly planning to go to the Hidden Gate, vehemently refused and even prepared to go with him.

Only after Ren Feifan promised to return within ten days did she feel reassured.

Ren Feifan had initially planned to consult Master Wuyu, but having learned his master was still in cultivation, he let it be.

After all, it was just a matter of ten days—a blink of an eye, so to speak.

Not knowing if these ten days would be enough to find Ye Qingcheng, ideally, he would uncover the whereabouts of his mother and Eggy.

Word had it that Eggy was in the Hidden Gate with the title Dragon King, whose power was so formidable that countless sects trembled at the mention. Ren wondered how Eggy would react upon seeing him.

"May things remain unchanged and friends remain as they are."

...

Pujiang City, Nanyin Mountain.

Pujiang City is a directly-administered city of Huaxia and one of Huaxia’s first coastal cities to be opened up. Located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it serves as the leading city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt and faces Kyushu Island across the East Sea.

Nanyin Mountain, however, is Pujiang City’s Pilgrimage Mountain, which is home to the Nanyin Temple. The temple has attracted streams of pilgrims over the past decades, making it a major tourist destination.

At this time, 11:50 PM on Nanyin Mountain, the area was enveloped in silence; even the usual chirping of insects and birds had ceased. The Nanyin Temple had rung its bell and extinguished its lights, leaving only a few statues faintly illuminated.

On the flat summit of Nanyin Mountain, a young man in a jacket suddenly appeared from the darkness. His eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, radiating a unique glow.

It was Ren Feifan!

At this moment, Ren Feifan felt a bit uneasy, for the Hidden Gate was a place shrouded in mystery that he dared not confront.

There lay his destined enemy!

There, his mother and his origin were trapped!

There, his confidante awaited!

There, his peerless sect had faced annihilation.

What he had to face had finally arrived.

As he pondered, a thunderous sound of footsteps suddenly erupted!

Then Ren Feifan saw an elderly man from the Demon Clan approaching, carrying a massive stone coffin on his shoulders!

With each step, a deep footprint appeared on the ground, showing just how heavy the stone coffin was!

"Thud!"

When the elder from the Demon Clan reached about ten meters from Ren Feifan, he fiercely dropped the stone coffin right in front of him.

"Here, this is your coffin!"

As Ren Feifan stared at the rune-covered coffin, the corner of his mouth twitched. Was this old man serious?

A coffin had been prepared for him?

Suddenly, a dense black fog began to envelop the summit of Nanyin Mountain, and an ominous chill swept through the area!

The time was precisely midnight, the most Yin moment!

Ren Feifan barely caught sight of a large gate suddenly emerging from the ground!

"Stop daydreaming, there’s no time left. Hurry up and eat this elixir!"

The next second, the elder from the Demon Clan slapped Ren Feifan on the chest, and an elixir was directly fed to him!

As the elixir dissolved, its rich fragrance filled the air, and Ren Feifan felt darkness sweep over him as his body lost all sensation.

A second before losing consciousness, Ren Feifan realized he had no idea which method this old man from the Demon Clan had used to send him away.

After Ren Feifan lost consciousness, something eerie happened. Under the control of the elder from the Demon Clan, his body began to levitate continuously until it eventually settled onto a dark stone coffin.
