Chapter 677: Another entrance of the Secret Domain

Sigma Hitesh

Ice and Fire Secret Domain.

Inside the grand hall of the Pure Land, many warriors still stayed. They were anxious, as if a fire was burning them. They were the people of the seven ancient factions, including the Radiant God Cult, the Martial Spirit Palace, and the Spirit Treasure Sect. They were all gloomy and distressed.

"It鈥檚 not good. The entrance has a big problem. Many warriors of the small forces have started to gather over there. I think... they want to rebel." An elder of the Pure Land slammed his brows together, as he was rubbing his hands constantly. He seemed to be very hurried.

Standing next to him were the people of the Devil Valley and the Martial Spirit Palace. They were all frightened.

Staying in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain were old people with low realms, far behind Lin Meng鈥檚 team, who had left already. Those people were a blended group of many other smaller forces from everywhere. They wouldn鈥檛 listen to the elders of the seven ancient factions.

The news of the blockade of the Ice and Fire Secret Domain had spread to the other side, which was like an ice cube melting in people鈥檚 hearts.

Everybody knew about the might of the alien tribes. Since the entrance was blocked, what should they do now?

They had laid their hope in Lin Meng鈥檚 team. They hoped that her team could find a solution. However, they鈥檇 been waiting for a long time, yet they had received no news from the world out there. They were all frightened at this moment.

Unknowingly, more and more warriors of the small forces started to gather at the entrance of the secret domain, as if they wanted to go out. They didn鈥檛 want to be like a fish in a tank, waiting for someone to kill them all.

People of seven ancient factions, who used to fight with the pagans, knew that they wouldn鈥檛 take risks and fight face to face with the opponent. However, seeing the energy movement in the entrance become clearer as time passed, and no sign of Lin Meng鈥檚 team returning, they started to feel hopeless.

What to do now?

Without their leaders, they were flurried and hesitant, not knowing what to do.

Time flew while their worries augmented. Gradually, the news sent back from the entrance became worse and worse.

Another news came to them: Traitors had started to attack the guards at the entrance.

This news was like an exploding bomb, making them dizzy. They were enraged. There were traitors in their organization who didn鈥檛 care about the future of the Human Clan!

It was unimaginable to them! They couldn鈥檛 believe that someone could be that insane!

However, this news was true. They were too furious to keep their mind sound. After a moment of silence, they woke up in a freezing atmosphere, showing their despair.

Another message came: They couldn鈥檛 keep the entrance any longer.

Everybody was flurried. It seemed like they had a bucket of cold water poured all over their body from top to toe, which extinguished their flame of hope completely.

"Miss Xia鈥檚 still confined. Before master left, she advised that if something unexpected happened, we had to release her and let her chair." The Pure Land鈥檚 elder had stayed quiet for a while, but he recalled something all of a sudden, and asked the guards to release Xia Xin Yan and bring her here.

Since they had lost the ones they trusted, everybody was shaken. They were dispirited to find out that their brains seemed insufficient at this moment, and that they couldn鈥檛 make up their minds.

They quarreled with each other, mocking and scolding the traitors and rebels while sneering, but they couldn鈥檛 give out an effective solution.

Shortly, Xia Xin Yan came out of her prison. She got the situation immediately from the others. Her face was as cold as water, frowning as she knew this situation was hard to resolve.

"What should we do now? Master told us that if anything happens, you should chair." The Elder of the Pure Land looked at her with an ash-gray hue covering his face.

"We should go to the other gateway of this secret domain, and cross that chaotic abyss to seek the chance to survive," Xia Xin Yan pondered for a while and then said with a sorrowful face.

Afterward, the people became grim, looking even more hopeless than before.

"Impossible!" An elder of the Devil Valley jolted up from his seat, his face malicious. "Are you telling us to die? Our master has told us that no matter what happens, we can鈥檛 go through that entrance. He said that no one would survive there. Once we enter that door, we will have to die!"

More people of the Spirit Treasure Sect and the Martial Spirit Palace were screaming to show their objection.

Xia Xin Yan didn鈥檛 change her visage. She only had a painful struggle reflecting on her jade-like face. "I have only that solution. My teacher also said that the other entrance of the Secret Domain hides a tremendous danger. She wasn鈥檛 sure that she could cross that entrance. However, the most important thing is that she didn鈥檛 know where that entrance led to. Perhaps it鈥檚 a dead end. But, we have no other option now. Our force isn鈥檛 enough to resist the pagans. If you stay, you will die or become slaves. As far as I know, members of the seven ancient factions will be killed instantly. You won鈥檛 have the chance to even become a slave to them. Is that what you want?"

The entire hall fell into silence.

It was true. People who stayed would be killed mercilessly. They would never have a chance to survive.

However, after they had arrived in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain, leaders of the seven ancient factions had surveyed that area. They all agreed that it was a dead road. They had no means to predict what stayed in there or where it would lead.

Everybody would feel fear instinctively towards unknown dangers. It was a part of the human nature.

That was why they had never thought about leaving through the other gateway.

"The Pure Land will go to that gateway first. We鈥檒l move now." As Xia Xin Yan saw them staying silent, she knew she couldn鈥檛 convince them all. She pondered for a while and then let out a low shout to urge her people.

Then, Xia Xin Yan took the lead and yelled. "All Xia family鈥檚 soldiers follow me. We will go to the entrance of the secret domain. We hope we will find a way to survive. If you want to stay, we don鈥檛 care. I hope the five alien tribes would be merciful enough to spare your life."

After those words, she walked away determinedly.

Members of the Xia family from the Endless Sea scattered to gather their family members and followed Xia Xin Yan.

Elders of the Pure Land discussed secretly, then ordered their disciples to prepare. Finally, they decided to go towards the other gateway and seek a chance of survival.

Elders of the Devil Valley, Martial Spirit Palace, Spirit Treasure Sect, and the Heaven Temple hadn鈥檛 decided yet. They were hesitant, considering the best solution.

Soon, they had another message from the main entrance: They had lost the entrance; the Pagans were coming!

This news had cut off the thought of survival in their hearts. Abruptly, they knew what to do now despite their hesitation.

If they stayed, they had to die. It was no doubt. But if they went to that unpredictable gateway, perhaps... they could survive.

Under this impasse, they finally made up their mind. They didn鈥檛 hesitate anymore and shouted, then took their people to run towards the other gateway of the secret domain.

In the Ice and Fire Secret Domain, flows of people started to move, stomping on the ice and lava everywhere, heading to an unknown future. They all felt heavy and dispirited.

Six hours later...

Pagans started to appear in the entrance. With the support from the insiders, the guards at the entrance were all killed. After the five great alien tribes arrived, all those who resisted were cleaned up effortlessly.

To survive, they had to surrender. Pagans then planted the restrictions on them or controlled their families... Of course, some were heartless enough to want to seek riches and honor through the alien tribes.

Soon, Bao Ao, Jie Ji, Kante, Comoros, and Corpse Chief appeared in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain.

A strange light sparkled in Bao Ao鈥檚 eyes, extending ahead of them as if he wanted to survey something. After a while, he spoke up, "It鈥檚 strange. There are no living people here. Where are the rest of the members of the seven ancient factions?

A senile old man came over with a servile countenance. "Seems like they went to another secret gateway. That place is perilous. If they go there, only death awaits them."

Bao Ao nodded, then casually clapped his hands. The old man鈥檚 head exploded, blood and brain splashing everywhere. "Crap! He knew they still have another secret entrance, but he didn鈥檛 report us. Damn it!"

Members of the Human Clan shut their mouths, not daring to utter any word. They stayed silent like the dead.

"We鈥檙e here to slaughter. We also want to collect souls. Even if they die, we shouldn鈥檛 let them die in vain." Comoros said maliciously. "We will go there now to see if we can take anything."

His Yin Written Charm Scripture could absorb souls directly. His active participation was to collect soul energy to revive the patriarch of their Ghost Mark Clan. Seeing the good nutrients about to perish, he felt bad and irritated.

Bao Ao nodded in agreement, "Let鈥檚 go."

After one hour, Bao Ao鈥檚 group reached a place where energy was extremely chaotic. There were caves cut through space, sparkling with numerous colorful lights. Those beams of light weaved with each other like gossamer. However, they couldn鈥檛 see the inside of the caves.

No human being was there.

"Damn it!" Comoros got angry. "The Human Clan has so many trashes. They didn鈥檛 report us this situation. F*ck them! We鈥檝e made a wrong step. We gathered here for nothing!"

Bao Ao didn鈥檛 say anything, while Jie Ji also kept silent. Kante, Corpse Chief, and the creature of the Dark Clan in the dim halo were surveying the entrance quietly. They were trying to sense the disorderly energy, as if they wanted to find something.

After a while, the creature staying inside the dim halo protected by the three Yama King Abi, Hei Tian, and Hades sent its soul fluctuation to Yama King Abi.

Yama King Abi slightly changed his visage. He shook his head and waved his hand. "We should go. Our Dark Clan won鈥檛 enter that door. If you are interested in it, you can go."

"It鈥檚 the chaotic space basin. If you want to die, you can go there and play. Our Ancient Bao family won鈥檛 join you." Bao Ao spoke after a while. He waved his hand with a dark face, signaling Gu Da Si to leave.

"Haha... I鈥檓 not interested in it. I鈥檓 going to find Shi Yan and have a little chitchat with him. If you want to go there, I... I give you my blessings." Jie Ji glared at Comoros, who was still hesitant. He laughed and then took his men out of the place.
