Return Of The Demon 86 The True Treasure

"Not exactly." Bai Yun said. After this, he explained to them about the false world formation. When the group heard of the intricacies of the false world, they were stunned into silence. When they finally understood just how they escaped from the formation, they thanked their lucky stars that Bai Yun was with them.

Just as the group was finally finding their footing after the incident, a voice once again boomed out over the plane.

"Well h.e.l.lo there. If you are hearing this it means that someone broke my false world. It wasn't particularly hard, but I am still disappointed that someone saw through my deception. But no matter. It is a small matter. But it also means that the traps that I laid out to kill all the invaders would not work anymore."

"Well anyway, now that the first part is over, it is time for the second part. Now that you have found your way to my true formation, it is time for you to get my inheritance."

"In the center of this formation disk is a portal. Once you enter the portal, you will leave the formation and enter its heart. There I have kept many treasures for you to find, including my inheritance. Good luck to whoever finds it."

When the sound voiced out, Bai Yun frowned. He was not too interested in the inheritance of the formation master. Based on what he could sense, the person who came up with it was at most an immortal step cultivator. As someone who reached the G.o.d step in the dao of formations, he was only interested in the formation inheritance of t.i.tled G.o.ds.

But that did not mean that there was noting here that interested him. The false world was a powerful formation. And it required a formation heart. Something to power and inscribe the formation on. That object would be extremely valuable. But considering the power of the formation and the fact that he was able to break it so easily, the purpose of the formation was most likely to be a test. Thus the heart would also be quite weak. Even then it should still be quite useful to Bai Yun at his current stage.

When they heard the voice, the partic.i.p.ants all looked towards the center of the white plane. There they saw a black vortex spinning in the middle of the ground. Not wanting to waste time all the people who were still alive ran towards there and waited. No one wanted to be the last one to enter, but no one wanted to be the first either, in case it was a trap.

Bai Yun laid down on the ground for a while before he got up and lazily walked over to the portal. By then most of his cloak had been stripped off in order to destroy the false world, and thus he had to change it for a new one. When he reached there he found that there were only four groups of people there. It was likely that one of the groups had been killed off by the Grootslang. Also one of the groups was trembling and all of their members were barely standing. Bai Yun also did not see shadow sixteen here, indicating that he had likely died. But his body was not here. It was likely that the false world had already dealt with it somehow.

"So what you are saying is that the whole thing was just an illusion. Then I climbed to the third level for nothing." One of the people who were standing there said with a snarl. It was obvious that he had listened to Shadow one's explanation of what had happened and was quite irritated at knowing the truth. After all, he had successfully reached the third level only to realize that it was all a lie.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. What matters is that we finally have the treasures within our grasp." Shadow one said.

As Bai Yun appeared, Shadow one turned to him. He had told everyone else that it was Bai Yun who managed to break the formation. So all of the others also turned to look at him. But they did not think much of Bai Yun. As shadow one hadn't told them of Bai Yun's exploits, they only thought that he got lucky and guessed the situation correctly.

Once he reached the portal, Bai Yun started a.n.a.lyzing it for traps. From the simple one over he gave it, he did not find any. But he decided to give it a closer look and if there was something he missed. After all the secret abode turned out to be a trap.

As Bai Yun continued to look at the portal, the rest of them continued to discuss what to do. Everyone here knew that they had to head down the portal. There was no other exit visible in the white plane. But they were still discussing who should go down the portal first. No wanted to be the first one in case there was danger inside.

At that time Shadow one turned to look at Bai Yun from the corner of his eyes. From the look in his eyes, he was clearly asking Bai Yun for his opinion on what to do. Bai Yun thought for a while and gently nodded his head.

Upon getting Bai Yun's confirmation, Shadow one immediately stepped up. "If none of you want to do it, then we shall take the lead."

When they heard Shadow ones declaration, the rest of them slowed down for a moment. They were afraid that he would get all the credit. But they were too frightened by the false world. In the end, they decided to stay back and allow shadow one's team to take the lead.

With his head held high, Shadow One was the first person to step into the portal. Once he went through, the rest of the group, including Bai Yun, followed after him.

When they reached the other side, they found themselves in a large hall. In front of them was a huge white door. Beside the door, they could see two other paths leading away from it.

Bai Yun quickly walked towards the door and started to a.n.a.lyze it. The door was covered with complex patterns and symbols etched onto it. As he stood there, a few minutes pa.s.sed. The rest of the group was too scared to make a move without Bai Yun's signal. Then the portal trembled and rest of the partic.i.p.ants slowly came out one by one.

"This was a rescue mission right?" Bai Yun suddenly asked.

"Yes." Shadow one replied while moving towards him. "Why?"

"A lot of bodies are missing, and no else have joined us when we broke the formation. I think we failed in the rescue." Bai Yun replied.

It was only then that they all remembered that this was a rescue mission and according to the report they got, there were supposed to be members of Blood moon who were stuck in here. But even after breaking the false world formation no one other than the members who had entered the formation with Bai Yun was here. Thus it was likely that the people who they came to rescue had already died.

The group sighed for a moment when they heard this. The group who entered the secret abode numbered far more than them. It was only now that they realized just how close to death they actually came.

Bai Yun ran his hands over the various inscriptions and slowly a.n.a.lyzed the door. Seeing the complex looking patterns on the door and knowing that Bai Yun was the one who broke the formation, the rest of the partic.i.p.ants did not bother him. Instead, they went to the other two doorways and slowly peered inside trying to see where they led.

"Interesting." Bai Yun murmured, looking at the door. The moment he spoke, everyone there turned to look at him.

"What have you discovered?" Shadow one asked slowly.

"This." Bai Yun replied. Then the tip of his finger gently lit up and he slowly pressed it against a small circle on the door. The moment he did so, a small click sound sounded out and the part he pressed fell in, just like a hidden mechanism.

And then in front of their eyes, the entire hall slowly started to change. Inscriptions covered every single surface, and slowly filled their sights. When the whole place was lit up with a giant formation, they were all stunned and simply stared at it dumbly.

"I think that this door leads to the outside world." Bai Yun said. "Once we open it we can leave this place." Everyone was happy to hear his inference. They had had enough of the dangers of this secret abode. "But before you do, I suggest that you look through the other two pa.s.sages. It is likely that the inheritance and other things that the person who created this place left behind is there. I can't see any other traps, so you should be safe."

When they heard what Bai Yun said, everyone who was here sped off into the two pa.s.sageways. Shadow one stayed back for a while and stared at Bai Yun "What are you going to do?" He asked.

"I am going to stay behind. You should go if you don't want to come out empty handed." Bai Yun replied.

"Aren't you interested in the inheritance?" Shadow One asked.

"Not really." Bai Yun simply said

Shadow one took a long hard look at Bai Yun and finally left him alone. Bai Yun slowly started to walk around the hall studying the formation inscribed on the walls. Finally, he stood at a particular point of the wall and studied the wall in front of him for a few minutes. Then he slowly reached out and pressed hard on the wall. And then, just like the door, a small click could be heard as a mechanism was triggered.

Then the wall in front of him started to fall in on itself. Slowly it opened up and an opening wide enough for two people to walk through was opened in the wall. Bai Yun let out a small smile when he saw the opening.

Bai Yun slowly walked into the opening.

Inside was a small room, like an antechamber. The walls of the antechamber were also filled with formations. In the middle of the room stood a small podium. On the podium was a large circle of inscriptions. And in the center of that was a small translucent piece of stone.

Bai Yun knelt in front of the stone. He stared at the inscriptions for a few moments and then smiled. After he verified that there were no traps, Bai Yun slowly reached for the stone piece.

"If you value your life, stop right there!" Bai Yun heard a shout from behind him.

Bai Yun's hand stopped a few inches from the stone. He slowly lifted his head over his shoulder and looked behind him.

There, on the doorway of the room stood three guys from blood moon, with their weapons in their hands.

'This is going to get annoying.' Bai Yun thought to himself.
