Chapter 338: Chapter 196 Breaking the Rules
Zhang Xuan pondered how to devour the Heavenly Mandate Vitality, while Mo Baiye struggled to comprehend the fragments of the heavens before him.
“I’ll go!”
After another three had died in succession, Mo Baiye could no longer hold back and took large strides forward.
At this point, their twenty-odd-member team was down to nine.
Five were on his side: Mo Baiye, Ling Yusheng, Mu Hongtao, “Brother Du,” and Mu Xiaoqing.
Opposite them were Su Chen, Wen Lingxun, Qin Xiaofei, and He Qinghong.
Even Zheng Yifeng, who had been the first to enter the ruins, had just now paid respects to the sculpture and, having violated the rules for the third time, burned to death in the flames.
“Be careful!”
Seeing him step out, “Brother Du” looked over and shared his analysis, “If I’m not mistaken, the fragment of the heavens within the Zhilan Valley is related to the ‘Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony.’ The people before us made the same gestures of respect to the sculpture and ended up burned to death, which indicates that repeating the same ceremony is definitely wrong!”
“Um!” Mo Baiye nodded.
He had noticed it, too, or else he wouldn’t have dared to step forward.
Taking a deep breath, he approached the sculpture without much hesitation. His knees bent, and he knelt down, respectfully kowtowing three times, “Junior Mo Baiye seeks to practice the fragments of the heavens, I ask for your guidance to fulfill this wish!”
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light enveloped him, warm and soft, without any scent of killing.
“Is this... a success?”
Seeing that he had not encountered a fourth violation, everyone was stunned in place, their eyes filled with excitement.
“I understand now, to learn the other’s fragments of the heavens, one naturally has to perform the disciple’s respect, while the sculpture was performing the ceremony of accepting disciples. Those who went before... they got it all wrong...”
“Brother Du” had a moment of realization.
Since he had deduced that the fragments of the heavens at hand were related to “ceremony,” it was easy to infer the rest.
The sculpture represented accepting disciples, performing the ceremony of accepting them. The people who went before had imitated it, which was akin to seeking to take the sculpture as a disciple, a great disrespect, thus breaking the rules.
“I’ll try, too!”
At most, he wouldn’t be able to circulate his zhenqi for one or two breaths.
“Is it you?”
Seeing him walk out so boldly and in his original appearance, Mo Baiye’s eyes suddenly turned red.
Just as he thought to charge over and kill him, he remembered something and turned his head to look at Ling Yusheng not far away: “Brother Ling, I’m trying to comprehend the later rules. You go teach this kid a lesson first. It was him who impersonated me just now, causing you all to break the rules...”
“This...”
Ling Yusheng hesitated for a moment, but then nodded: “Okay!”
In front of him, Mo Baiye was indeed smarter. If he himself couldn’t comprehend, he would be even less likely to. Instead of waiting around, it was better to help him take care of the hidden threat.
Whoosh!
With that thought, his body shifted and he ran toward the young man not far away. Before he even got close, he struck out with his palm.
The massive strength of the palm was tumultuous, and the air emitted a tearing sound.
As a Galaxy 6-dan Peak expert, every move he made naturally carried the weight of laws, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Logically, facing such an attack, Zhang Xuan at Galaxy 3-dan Peak strength wouldn’t be able to withstand it. He should have turned and fled, but instead, he remained unmoved, waiting quietly as if he had been shocked silly by the formidable power in front of him.
“Die!”
Not expecting the man to be so foolish, a glint of excitement flashed through Ling Yusheng’s eyes.
Through Mo Baiye’s words, he knew that the guy in front of him had borrowed quite a few Destiny Plates by impersonating him. If he took action and killed him, perhaps he could seize these artifacts and make a killing.
As he was secretly imagining the triumph of obtaining the artifacts without anyone noticing, he suddenly felt his body and skin become exceedingly hot, and immediately after, an inferno rose from within, burning fiercely.
“I’ve violated the rules...”
The color drained from his face, and Ling Yusheng’s body trembled.
He had only come over to kill, so how could he have broken the rules?
But there was no time left to ponder; paying no heed to continuing his attack on the young man, he flipped his wrist, and a fruit appeared in his hand.
“Thank goodness I bought the Ice Cold Fruit earlier...”
Although Qin Xiaofei’s price was very high, he had still bought one, so even if he violated the rules, he shouldn’t face death.
Just as he was about to swallow the fruit, he felt a chill around his neck, and then he saw a Mo Dao, chopping straight toward his forehead.
