The Way of The Dao

Chapter 879 (Vol 3) – Plotting The Path For Some People

"If you want to kill them, then you will have to kill me and step over my corpse!"

She firmly expressed in a cold tone, with her aura surging intensely, giving the feeling that she had briefly become the slight incarnation of an empress.

The shock stunned everyone else, with most of them trembling slightly in fear as they were unable to resist the coercion surging from her, forcing them to fall to their knees and feet and feel the sickle of death on their necks.

The senior brother paled as he felt this junior sisters aura slowly seeming to overtake him!

How could this be happening? She was simply a weak cultivator at the foundation establishment late stage! A cultivator at this level could never be stronger than someone at the golden core early stage like him!

The senior brother tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, beginning to feel fear and some anxiety.

When I attack him both of you have to run away! I will only be able to distract him for a brief moment, but it will be enough for the two of you to escape!

The 16 year old boy who was somewhat stunned to see that this young girl of his own age had turned her back on his martial siblings was slightly startled when he heard her voice, expressing that she would buy him time so that he and his sister could escape.

Although he had expected that this moment might occur since there are no eternal friends in the world but only eternal interests, it still happened too soon.

But what shocked him the most was that this girl he had met not too long ago decided to take his side, choosing the right thing in her heart.

The will to become stronger in his heart intensified even more, wanting to have more strength to protect those beside him.

"Hmph! Are you sure?" Suddenly, the senior brother smiled cruelly as a small talisman appeared in his hand, containing some drawings and patterns on its surface, which instantly lit up.

"How come you have that...?!"

The girl was stunned as she looked at the talisman and she couldnt help but turn pale when the next moment a terrifying coercion enveloped her.

An aura belonging to a powerful golden core expert at the late stage swept over the place briefly before enveloping the girl!

A wisp of fire appeared in the air and rushed towards the girl quickly.

The wisp of fire began to spin in a circle rapidly, turning into a wheel of fire over ten meters in diameter.

The girl could barely lift her sword, wanting to counter the wheel of fire.

"Run!" She barely managed to shout at the two siblings before the fire wheel reached her and the coercion wrapped around her intensified much more in an instant.

The girl expelled all of her aura without holding anything back, pouring it over her sword to keep it from cracking further when she saw that it was about to shatter as she resisted the overwhelming pressure of the fire burning her skin and her entire body.

* Boom! *

Not even two seconds had passed when the sword shattered and the girl couldnt resist any longer and she was sent flying by the explosion of the fire wheel, her body falling into the abyss!

"Sister Ziu!" The girl next to the 16-year-old cried out in worry.

"Shit!"

The golden core cultivator gasped as more than half of his power had been drained, so he was unable to maintain for more than 2 seconds the power of the talisman, causing the fire wheel to explode.

However, his eyes upon seeing his junior sister fall into the abyss did not ripple, not a hint of concern or remorse crossed through them.

A few others who had a good relationship with this girl could not help but feel stunned and shocked, but none said anything or tried to rescue this junior martial sister.

* Boom! *

An extremely powerful aura explosion suddenly erupted, taking everyone by surprise.

"But what the...!" The golden core cultivator was stunned and confusedly watched the boy expel an aura belonging to the golden core, even stronger than him with all his might.

"Dont let him escape!"

Seeing the boy hug the girl beside him and run towards the cliff, the golden core cultivator anxiously shouted to the others as he tried to gather his aura and prevent the two of them from escaping, at least hold them back for an instant so that the others could catch them.

He was crazy? If this boy jumped into the abyss, then he would inevitably die and the map in his possession would be lost!

They would lose the chance to obtain the legacy of the goddess of life forever!

Although everyone tried to move and prevent them from escaping, the two of them were faster and jumped into the depths of the abyss at once.

Before everyones eyes, each of them clearly saw how they fell into the abyss and were enveloped by darkness, and could no longer see each other.

Nearly a kilometer away, Ling Tian watched what was happening and stood in silence.

"It really is amazing how the will of heaven arranges and plots the path for these people..."

Ling Tian disappeared from the place and quickly appeared above the youths who were still watching the bottom of the abyss, as if they wanted to break through the darkness of the abyss and find the figures of those who jumped a few moments ago.

Their spirit senses could not descend too far either, as if a powerful force was holding them back from going deeper, barely reaching a few dozen meters.

However, no one noticed Ling Tian, as he used an invisibility spell on himself.

Without wasting any time, Ling Tian quietly descended over the abyss, observing what was happening several hundred meters deep. His spirit sense, which was still slowly recovering, found no impediment and the force holding back the other spirit senses was easily pierced through.

Ling Tians spirit sense had already picked that moments ago the boy who had jumped into this abyss embracing the girl had drawn a flying sword from his hidden storage ring, steadying themselves in the air for a moment before flying down quickly and reaching the girl who had previously fallen as well, saving her before impacting against the ground a few dozen meters away.

Ling Tian descended calmly over the abyss, even pausing slowly as he watched these three kids who quickly recovered.

The girl who had been thrown into the abyss earlier and was rescued by the two quickly thanked and apologized for what her sect senior martial brother had done. She was even blushing slightly due to being held and carried by the boy a few moments ago.

"I have a theory that I havent confirmed after all these years..." Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

The boy and the two girls quickly calmed down as they realized that they had reached the bottom of the abyss, and that they could barely see a few meters before they ran into the darkness.

Ling Tian stood a few feet in the air, invisibility spell active, silently watching what they were doing.

"Uhm? You seem to have good intuition like me..." Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise when he noticed the boys small reaction before shifting to a calm expression, as if he had known someone was watching him.

But no matter how much he searched silently with his spirit sense, the boy couldnt find anything. And yet his expression remained calm and unconcerned, as if he did not want to alarm the enemy who was silently watching him and was only observing out of curiosity.

Ling Tian had also not released any hint of energy, let alone killing intent, so he was still a bit surprised to see that this boy had such an intuition that someone was watching him despite having a low cultivation level. Even great experts would not be able to discover his presence unless they had great senses of danger or something else.

The boys spirit sense had quickly and silently mostly scanned the place where Ling Tian was, as if he was sure that there really was someone there. But he could find no trace of Ling Tian.

Ling Tians slight surprise quickly disappeared and he silently watched these kids, while his gaze occasionally shifted on the hidden formation that was a little close to them.

Ling Tian closed his consciousness sea, preventing the Luo Hongmengs pagoda from reacting with the formation here and avoiding it from opening on its own. He just observed and watched silently, his spirit sense covered the entire abyss, even the entire mountain range, observing the sky and the surroundings, which were in complete calm without any strange disturbances.

Once the girl finished healing her internal wounds, they began to observe their surroundings in search of any way out, because if they flew back they could be discovered by the others.

The golden core cultivator could fly without a flying sword, though not for long, he could still cause them trouble if they fought.

Soon, a cold current that descended inexplicably covered the place quickly, causing the three of them to shiver with cold.

"Brother! Look!"

"Whats that?"

The girls instantly called out when they saw that the rock wall rippled like the moving ripples of a lake, giving the feeling that it appeared to be a barrier.

"Its a barrier... its a hidden formation array!" The boy quickly exclaimed as he noticed various patterns and symbols around them.

The cold air current swirled in an instant, causing the barrier covering the entire rock wall to ripple more. The symbols and some lines of patterns began to flicker, as if they were about to explode.

"Get behind me!"

The boy quickly took out a strange bronze token all rusty, while the two girls had already stood behind him.

Cultivation power quickly flowed into the rusted bronze token, causing some runes to light up on its surface underneath all the rust as the next moment a force erupted from the same token, exploding in all directions.

The power of the token quickly blanketed the place and when it noticed the barrier gradually beginning to calm down it enveloped it, with the energy distributing itself into the symbols and patterns that were about to disappear.

* Crackle... *

The sound of a sheet of paper tearing was heard.

Before the sight of all of them, the barrier covering the side of the rock wall shattered and disappeared, revealing an entrance that looked like a mysterious cave.

"Its a secret entrance!"

Seeing the cave entrance hidden by the formation, they couldnt help but exclaim in surprise.

"I think its all right..."

After probing inside and looking for any traps that would be triggered after the barrier was destroyed, the boy let out a sigh and looked at the two girls, saying, "Maybe this is another secret entrance to the temple of the Flawless Heart Holy Maiden, but we cant be sure... so we must stay together and keep our senses active at all times!"

The two girls nodded and with bravery mixed with fear followed the boy through the cave.

Why do I feel like someone keeps looking at me?

The boy thought to himself as he led the way into the cave, followed by the two girls.
