Chapter 493 Returned Souls (6)
When the great elder heard this, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
After smiling like that for a bit, the great elder said, "Well, they're people who came in with the saviour, so we can't just kill them that simply, can we?"
The slightly chubby elder thought about it before giving a nod.
But then he still asked, "Still, we can't keep them in here can we?"
The great elder smiled at this and with a wave of his hand, there was a small bead that appeared in between his fingers.
This bead was one of the ones that the examinees had, it was the bead that was given to them before they entered this place and their own lifeline.
The great elder raised it up for the other four to see as he said, "This thing will send them out when the time comes, so there's nothing for us to do."
The other elders all came forward to look at the bead that was in the great elder's hand and they were all nodding as they looked at it. However, after a few seconds, they suddenly knitted their brows.
Seeing the looks on their faces, the great elder also revealed a serious look as he said, "I'm sure you can sense it too, this law that's inside of this bead…"
p
It was clear to them what the great elder was trying to say once they sensed the power of the law that was stored inside of the bead. If what they were sensing was correct, this was most likely the real reason why the great elder didn't kill these kids.
Inside of this little bead was of course spatial laws, but that wasn't what was surprising. Rather it was the power of the spatial laws that were surprising.
As experts that had plenty of experience, they knew just how powerful the spatial laws inside the bead were and these spatial laws were at the level of the True Soul Realm…
No matter how strong they were, this realm had actually been weaker before the Galactic Humanity Alliance had taken over, which was also the main reason why Huang Xiao Hou had been able to take this realm from them.
They were just a lowly realm that had been battered by the Beast Clan, so the strongest expert that they had was the great elder who was in the Nascent Soul Realm.
So to put it simply, they just weren't able to offend a faction that had a True Soul Realm Expert behind it…
After looking at the bead for a bit, they couldn't help giving a collective sigh.
It seemed like they were still weak even after all this time, but there was nothing that they could do about this.
The only thing that they could do now was…
With a flick of his hand, the bead disappeared from the great elder's hand and returned to the person that he had taken it from. He had no use for this and if he were to take this, there would be one person who wouldn't be sent away, which they couldn't allow.
Right now, the thing that they had to do first was lock themselves away to increase their own power before interacting with the outside world, otherwise they would be nothing more than easy prey for all the factions outside.
To do that, they had to send away everyone who had intruded in their home and then seal themselves up.
After sending the bead away, the great elder leaned down and with a golden glow around his hand, he touched the top of the giant golden glowing tree underneath him. As soon as his hand made contact with the bark of the tree, there was a split that appeared under their feet and they immediately dropped down.
Without any worries, the five of them dropped down into the city that was below them. While falling down, the great elder raised his hand again and a golden glow appeared around it.
After a second of pause, the same thing as before happened where he shot out countless balls of golden light that fell down onto the city beneath him.
These golden balls of light were aimed at the people who had been unable to reach the final round.
These people who hadn't been able to make it through the fountain had been wandering around the city the entire time, looking for any treasures that they could take back with them.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan had already cleaned out the city.
Other than in the four locations that Lin Fan had already cleared, there wasn't a single piece of loot left for these young masters to take.
It was even more unlucky for them as the balls of golden light fell down from above, hitting them right on the head and knocking them all out.
As the young masters crumpled onto the ground, they didn't know how they had even been knocked out.
In the end, they were unlucky because they had been unable to enter the final round and they had been unable to find a single piece of treasure to take back.
Well, it can't be said that they were completely unlucky because as of now, there was no clue if the followers that had gone into the labyrinth with Lin Fan's group had even survived…
After taking care of all these young masters, once again the great elder covered his hand in a golden glow.
Instead of taking the fountain like Lin Fan's group had done, the great elder shot a beam of golden light right down into the ground, causing another fissure to appear.
The five elders dived into this fissure without any hesitation and when they appeared on the other side, they were right in front of the palace that Lin Fan and the others had entered.
But of course they didn't stop there as they rushed right into the palace, charging into the depths.
…
Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were both still staring at the shards of broken glass on the ground, not knowing what to do…
After all, they had waited all this time and it didn't seem like anything was going to happen…
At the same time, Lin Fan had also started inching closer towards Wang Jian, as if he was going to catch him and use him as a scapegoat…
But it didn't come to this in the end as someone had suddenly appeared in this room.
It wasn't the five elders who were still currently rushing through the labyrinth, but rather it was a slender figure that Mo Ze Chen dreamed about.
She came out of the ground and flew right into the air before landing in front of Lin Fan. She looked at him with an emotional look before hugging him and saying, "You did it!"
Neither Mo Ze Chen or Lin Fan could react to this, but then Mo Ze Chen immediately glared at Lin Fan as Lin Fan revealed an awkward look.
He was someone who believed in boundaries between friends and also he knew what would happen if a certain someone found out about this.
Though between the two, his fear for that certain someone was much stronger than his respect for his friends…
Lulu also realized what she had done wrong and immediately let go of Lin Fan. She had been overwhelmed by her emotions and she had hugged Lin Fan before she could even stop herself.
Of course, there was no love in this hug, it was just a hug that came from overwhelming happiness.
Mo Ze Chen of course knew this and came over with a smile as he said, "I also helped."
It was three simple words, but there was a blush that came over Lulu's face, which was completely different from her reaction with Lin Fan.
It was only Mo Ze Chen who could make her feel this way with how aggressive he was, but she wasn't against it since she had been watching over them as much as she could the entire time. She had seen how hard Mo Ze Chen had worked and she naturally knew the reason why, which was why her heart had slowly melted as time passed.
Lowering her head, she couldn't help hesitating a bit before softly punching Mo Ze Chen's shoulder.
But when she did, Mo Ze Chen was surprised as he felt a sharp pain in his arm and he couldn't help taking a step back from it…
It seemed like his angel was much stronger than he thought…
Still, that didn't stop him from loving her since she was the most beautiful girl he had seen in his life.
Lin Fan didn't feel awkward being a third wheel since he was happy to see his friend finding his happiness, but that wasn't the same for Wang Jian.
He was someone who had been focused his entire life on cultivating with his sword, so he had never experienced any kind of love before. In fact, he was someone who was quite shy, so seeing them flirt like this, it made it very awkward for him.
Finally, after a bit of time, Lulu seemed to have worked up her courage and she moved towards Mo Ze Chen while muttering, "You did work hard…"
Mo Ze Chen's heart skipped a beat when he saw her doing this, but he didn't say no as he stood there facing her.
It was too bad that before she could come in, there was a voice that said, "What is going on here?"
