Chapter 1531 - Fog
The central area contained a vast lake that was engulfed by fog, so it was impossible to get a full view of it.
At this moment, more than ten people were in the sky atop the lake, and they comprised what were left of the teams of Cao Ze and Ying Ying. They were unexpectedly safe and sound, and they had even assembled together without any conflict arising between them.
“I haven’t discovered anything in this d*mned land, and I have even lost some of my subordinates. If there isn’t anything here, I will be obliged to teach you a lesson.”
Ying Ying seemed in a sorry state as he had lost half of his subordinates. As he spoke, he glared at Xia Jiang, the Young Sovereign who had brought them news about the Empyrean Goddess’s remnants.
Cao Ze, who was on Xia Jiang’s team, didn’t speak up for him. He had the same expression as Ying Ying. His junior brothers had suffered miserable deaths, one after the other, and if he hadn’t been the last one to enter the building, he would have also lost his life.
Xia Jiang felt great pressure weighing on his shoulders. He didn’t understand why the situation had turned out like this. It was impossible for him to stop now. He could only place his hopes on the lake.
Xia Jiang took out a crystal from his pocket, and a blazing light emanated from this transparent crystal. Its light flickered ceaselessly because they were next to the lake.
“Why don’t we rush all over. We can probably get out like that, can’t we?” Xuan Qing raised a suggestion and questioned him.
“Luck doesn’t play a role in something arranged by the Empyrean Goddess,” Jiang Chen said, rejecting this suggestion and starting to observe this place without paying attention to the two women.
The two women were left without a choice. They could only stay at Jiang Chen’s side. After all, Jiang Chen was their team’s core, even though his realm level was only at the Martial Emperor Realm.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, Empyrean Goddess, Empyrean Goddess!”
After an hour, Jiang Chen had finally discovered the truth, and he couldn’t stop laughing out loud. His laughter was filled with delight and respect.
He had been tricked and played with by the Empyrean Goddess.
There wasn’t any formation in the world with marks that couldn’t be discovered, and even the Empyrean Goddess wasn’t an exception to this rule. But the Empyrean Goddess was quite clever and had used a diversionary tactic that couldn’t be any simpler.
That was right, the fog was a diversionary tactic, and the formation was located in the water of the lake.
A weapon used against this would be formed by water and fog, and their subtle transformation formed an exquisite formation that would bewilder anyone.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but commend the Empyrean Goddess. She didn’t just have great fighting prowess, her skill in different fields also reached great heights.
“Jiang Chen, are you all right?”
Upon seeing Jiang Chen’s current look, the two women became frightened. They had assumed that Jiang Chen had lost his mind because he was too irritated and annoyed.
“It’s all right, let’s go down to the water.”
Jiang Chen pulled Xuan Qing and plunged into the lake along with Murong Yanran. They didn’t stop for even a moment, and they swam until they were 1,000 yards beneath the surface. It was then that they got to see the lake bed.
But Jiang Chen still didn’t lower his speed. He even raised it.
Xuan Qing pulled at his arm and wanted to warn Jiang Chen, but he was still unmoved, and he shot forward like an arrow.
Xuan Qing couldn’t help close her eyes and prepare herself for the impact.
SPLASH!
But what she didn’t expect was that when they were about to ram into the lake bed, both she and Jiang Chen ended up coming out of the water.
They were on top of the lake, but the fog had disappeared, and an island with enchanting scenery and a bamboo house on it was in front of them.
