My Master Knows It All

But now it seems, it’s not like that. This relic doesn’t appear to be an abandoned relic; they seem to want to activate the relic.

As everyone arrived, these traitors from the Human Clan and the Beast Clan immediately noticed the people arriving from behind.

”Humans? Humans wearing masks!”

”The people from the Eternal Assembly, how did they find this place?”

”Damn it, there’s a traitor among us!”

Whether it’s these human individuals or those from the Beast Clan, their expressions changed drastically.

”What should we do?”

”We’ve already started activating the relic, it’s impossible to stop now!”

”No matter, continue infusing our aura, let’s open the relic first.”

The people from the Eternal Assembly were clearly prepared to eliminate them. Normally, they’re probably not a match for them, but once the relic is activated, things may change!

After the relic is activated, many dangers within the relic will emerge. These people know what relic it is and have prepared in advance. These Eternal Assembly people are different!

”Hm? They want to activate the relic!” Hall Master Guang Yao instantly judged what the opposition was doing, shouting, ”Attack, eliminate them!”

As his words fell, seven Immortal Palaces appeared behind him.

But the next moment, in front of those human traitors and beasts in the distance, a massive mist suddenly dispersed.

This mist rapidly spread around; within a single breath’s time, it had already permeated the entire space.

This mist was incredibly dense, and Cao Zhen found that even with his current cultivation base, he could only see roughly within a mile around him.

Furthermore, even more astonishingly, he was clearly with a group of people from the Eternal Assembly; not far from him were Demonic Lord Guang Yu and Immortal Lord Yan Hua, yet now, there was no one around him, nor could he hear any sound!

”This... what is happening? Is it because the relic was activated? What kind of relic is this?”

Filled with doubt, Cao Zhen looked around while sensing everything around him, yet he couldn’t sense anything, nor could he see a single figure in his vision.

He stayed in place for a while, finding no change around him, no one approaching, so he still headed forward.

But after taking a few steps, he seemed to run into a transparent wall, abruptly blocking his path.

And in the mist ahead, there seemed to be two figures engaged in battle, but he could only see that there was a battle, unable to discern what spells were used, how they fought, who had the upper hand, or who the combatants were.

”What is going on?” Cao Zhen frowned, turned around, and walked in another direction.

After walking some distance, his steps were once again halted; his path was blocked again, and ahead, he could vaguely see two figures battling.

He tried to fly high to get through here, but as soon as he rose to less than a thousand meters, he found he couldn’t fly any higher; seemingly, there was also an invisible wall blocking his way above.

With no choice, Cao Zhen landed back on the ground.

”There are people fighting here; it’s better to try another direction.”

Once again, Cao Zhen changed direction. This time he managed to move a much greater distance than before.

Thud... thud...

Suddenly, footsteps approached from the opposite direction, and Cao Zhen’s gaze became alert as he looked towards the sound.

Shortly, a figure appeared in his line of sight.

After the mist appeared, this was the first person he had seen—a figure wearing a scarlet mask.

Someone from the Eternal Assembly, which meant this was an ally.

Though the person wore a mask, through the eye sockets of the mask, one could see caution in their gaze. Upon seeing another person from the Eternal Assembly, their expression relaxed immediately.

”I am Hong Wu, and you are...” The person glanced at the mask on Cao Zhen’s face, seeing three dots on it, and said quietly, ”Huang San, have you seen anyone else?”

”No.” Cao Zhen glanced at the three dots on the person’s mask, shook his head, and said, ”I don’t even know what happened. The mist suddenly appeared, and then everyone vanished. You’re the first person I’ve seen.”

”Same here.” Hong Wu stepped to Cao Zhen’s side and pointed into the distance, ”Since we’ve met, let’s stick together. Who knows if we’ll encounter those human traitors or beast clan members; having one more person means more strength.”

Cao Zhen nodded heavily, then pointed in another direction and said, ”We came from two different directions. We likely won’t encounter anyone in this direction anymore; why don’t we try another direction?”

”Sounds good.”

Hong Wu did not refuse and, alongside Cao Zhen, walked shoulder to shoulder in the direction Cao Zhen pointed. But after walking for about two incense sticks’ worth of time, their path was blocked by an invisible wall, and on the other side, two figures were engaged in battle.

”Let’s go, let’s change direction again.”

The two changed direction once more but found that after some distance, their path was still blocked. Another direction also seemed to have people fighting.

”So we’re trapped here? Because there are people fighting, we can’t leave?” Hong Wu looked at the two figures seemingly fighting in the distance and said quietly, ”How about we wait here? When the fighting ends, we’ll see if we can pass. I feel like we can’t go through because there are people fighting.”

”That seems right.” Cao Zhen nodded and stayed where he was.

After about an incense stick’s time, the two fighting figures from across disappeared.

”There are no figures anymore?”

”Has the battle ended? If that’s the case, maybe we can continue forward.”

Hong Wu spoke and took steps forward, but he was blocked once more, unable to proceed.

With no other option, he looked back while saying, ”I can’t proceed, Huang San, you give it a try.”
