“Why do you have the Wheel of Fate!”
The unkempt old man grabbed Qin Jun's hand excitedly and asked, his murky eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot, which made Qin Jun feel uneasy.
The most unpredictable people in the world are the mad ones.
Because they fear nothing...
"What is the Wheel of Fate... Is it a golden compass?" Qin Jun asked through gritted teeth. After the golden compass entered his body, it disappeared without a trace. He couldn't retrieve it, as if the golden compass didn't exist at all.
"What golden compass? The Wheel of Fate is the Wheel of Fate!" the unkempt old man said in a low voice, which made the hot-tempered Lei Zhenzi curse, "What do you want? Our king doesn't even know what the Wheel of Fate is!"
Yuan Hong also became furious, his white fur standing on end, exuding a monstrous aura that made the pebbles on the ground jump.
It seemed that they believed Lei Zhenzi's words. The unkempt old man let go of Qin Jun's hand and muttered, "The Wheel of Fate is the Wheel of Fate. A bunch of kids don't even know."
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, the Wheel of Fate has already merged with you, so I won't care. Besides, the Wheel of Fate is not mine. He should be the one in a hurry," the unkempt old man said in a childish manner.
He?
Qin Jun couldn't help but tense up. Was he going to bring up some old monster again?
Thinking this, he quickly passed by the unkempt old man, with Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong following closely behind.
This old man is too strange. He must be kept at a distance!
"Hey, are you trying to leave?" The unkempt old man actually followed behind Qin Jun and the others, asking persistently.
"Yeah," Qin Jun responded nonchalantly, but he dared not ignore the question.
After all, the unkempt old man was so powerful.
"You can't leave. This is a forbidden place. I've been trapped here for a long time, so long that I don't even know how long it's been," the unkempt old man kept calling out mischievously from behind.
Qin Jun furrowed his brow. The Abyss Gate cultivators were indeed ruthless, not even afraid of death, and they wanted to drag him into hell.
With the unkempt old man's strength unable to break free, Qin Jun and the others naturally had no hope.
But Qin Jun was very stubborn. He wouldn't give up without trying.
After all, dreams must be had. What if it comes true?
Moreover, it was about freedom and life.
And so, Qin Jun's team gained another member, and it was a chatterbox. The unkempt old man seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, leaving Qin Jun speechless.
At the same time, Qin Jun had a bold idea.
Why not try to befriend this unkempt old man, no, to win him over!
So Qin Jun started to converse, cracking jokes one after another, making the unkempt old man laugh uncontrollably, and even Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong couldn't help but chuckle.
"By the way, what's your name and background?" Qin Jun finally couldn't help but ask the question he most wanted to ask.
"Me?" The unkempt old man hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "I've forgotten my name and identity. I only remember my surname is Yi."
"Then I'll call you Old Yi!" Qin Jun nodded, but whether Old Yi had really forgotten his name and identity was unknown.
Old Yi chuckled, "Kid, you're to my liking. What's your name? We should stick together in the future!"
Damn it!
I'm a man who wants to get out!
Qin Jun sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "My surname is Lao, and my name is Die."
Lao Die?
What kind of name is that?
Old Yi looked puzzled, while Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi were sweating, thinking, "Is this guy our leader?"
"Alright, my name is Qin Jun," Qin Jun said helplessly. It was so boring to crack jokes with someone who didn't get them.
"Qin Jun... a good name..." Old Yi muttered to himself.
The four continued on, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the end of the canyon. The canyon here was ten meters wide, and ahead was a gloomy forest. The sky here was always blood-colored, as if there was no distinction between day and night.
"Roar!"
Terrifying roars came from the forest, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
Qin Jun frowned. The exit was right in front of him, but it made him even more uneasy.
"I'll give it a try!" Yuan Hong, holding a metal rod, rushed forward, bent his legs, and shot up, using both hands to smash the metal rod with all his might.
With a loud bang!
Qin Jun widened his eyes, only to see a golden barrier suddenly appear at the entrance of the canyon, blocking Yuan Hong, who was at the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm.
"I've broken through this barrier countless times," Old Yi said with a smirk, his face filled with schadenfreude.
Qin Jun couldn't help but stare at him. Don't you want to escape?
Submissive!
Deep-seated submission. This old man had given up hope of escaping.
Lei Zhenzi also launched an attack, trying to break the barrier with Yuan Hong's help.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
The two of them frantically smashed the barrier, but unfortunately, they still couldn't make a crack.
At this moment, a group of Abyss Gate cultivators suddenly flew out of the forest, led by a Celestial Realm steward with a hooked nose, sunken eye sockets, giving off an extremely sinister feeling.
"How could there be people in the forbidden land? Could it be that someone wants to infiltrate our Abyss Gate?" the steward muttered to himself. The other cultists behind him also stared at Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong at the entrance of the canyon. Even though they were separated by the barrier, they could still feel the overwhelming pressure.
The Abyss Gate had an internal rule that if someone tried to infiltrate the Abyss Gate using the teleportation gate, they would set the destination in the forbidden land, ensuring that the enemy had no way back.
So they were more mocking inside.
No matter how high their cultivation was, they would still die in the forbidden land!
"Did you see that? This is the fate of those who oppose our Abyss Gate!" The hawk-nosed steward chuckled to the young disciples behind him. These disciples were all young and were the juniors of the high-ranking members of the Abyss Gate, each with their own status. This time, he was tasked with leading these young people to gain experience.
This area was known as the Forest of Nightmares, where there were many demonic beasts, including some fifth and sixth rank demon kings.
Without the protection of a celestial realm powerhouse, the elders were not at ease. After all, these young people were the pride of their lineage, all possessing extraordinary talents.
"Tsk tsk, our Abyss Gate is among the top five in the demonic world. Yet there are still audacious individuals causing trouble!"
"I am proud to be a disciple of the Abyss Gate!"
"Ridiculous, isn't our Abyss Gate capable of infiltrating as well?"
"But those two are really strong..."
The geniuses of the Abyss Gate discussed with disdain and pride in their voices.
Qin Jun did not notice the group of people in the sky above the Forest of Nightmares. He watched as Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi struggled to break the restriction, feeling his heart sink deeper and deeper.
What was even more crucial was that the old man Yi had been instigating and provoking him on the side, making him even more infuriated.
With a sudden thought, Qin Jun shouted, "Step aside! Let me do it!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi quickly stepped aside, only to see Qin Jun open his mouth and unleash a raging Samadhi True Fire. [End of this chapter]
