Chapter 422 - A Trap in the Secret Realm (1/2)

At the same time, Qiu Ling and the others arrived at the Leyuan region. Qiu Ling immediately hurried over to the array on the ground, ignoring Qiang Wei who was still waiting in case the gate to the secret realm opened on its own.

As soon as he stopped in front of the array Qiu Ling frowned. The lines had changed from a light blue to red. This shouldn't be normal!

”Qiang Wei! What happened?” Qiu Ling whirled around, his chest heaving up and down. He had a very, very bad feeling about this.

Qiang Wei straightened up. ”I don't know. It changed right now. I was just about to …” He raised the transmission stone in his hand, his expression solemn. He also felt that something might be wrong but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even have a way to find out more since he didn't understand the array.

Qiu Ling cursed under his breath and turned to Bai Mu and the others that had just landed. ”Something happened with the array.”

Bai Mu frowned and hurried over, staring at the array for a while.

”What is it? What is happening? Why did it change color?”

”Most likely the people inside found the trap my parents left behind.”

”Trap?!”

”Mn. My mother told me they implemented one trap in case someone really strong ever managed to make their way into the realm. If that happened, they would be able to flee and the person would be imprisoned there.

”If the intruder searched long enough, they would find a spot that would seem like the core of the realm and they would try to break out through that place. But in case they actually managed to open what they thought to be the array it would destroy the realm and the person inside with it.”

Qiu Ling's eyes widened. ”That … Wouldn't that mean …” He grabbed Bai Mu's lapel and pulled him closer. ”Then what about Jing He?! Won't he … Won't he also …”

”Calm down.” Bai Mu put a hand on Qiu Ling's shoulder and pushed him out of the way. ”It's not too late yet. The array would have stopped glowing if the realm had already been destroyed. Right now, we can still get them out. Just let me do it.” He lifted a hand and looked at it, his brows furrowing. The Chun Feng Sect had taken everything from him so he could only use his raw blood to open the array now.

He cut his skin open with his nails and let it drip down while circulating his energy. The array lit up brighter, the light pulsing three times before it turned back to blue.

Bai Mu raised his other hand too and his fingers drew another array into the air that slowly descended to the ground. The lines cut through those of the first array and extinguished the light.
