Chapter 827 - 338: Void Hall Inner Hall, Divine Platform Treasure Seizure (2)

At this moment, the expression of suspicion on his face became even more intense.

Just now, Li Bailin from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect said that Chu Ning had rejected them, but unexpectedly, Chu Ning had also rejected Changkong Hall.

Thus, when linking this to Chu Ning being the first to arrive at the Void Abyss, it became quite suspicious.

When Chu Ning saw everyone looking at him again, he raised his head and met Shang Song’s gaze.

"Elder Shang, I am not very familiar with this Void Abyss. After entering here, I randomly chose a path and walked through Sumeru Mountain."

Shang Song’s gaze flickered slightly.

"Oh, is that so? How do I feel that Fellow Daoist Chu seems to have walked through Divine Spring Pool as well."

If he said before at the Divine Spring Pool that it was Chu Ning who picked the Spirit Medicine, it was just a casual remark, not very certain.

Now seeing Chu Ning appearing here, he was already eighty percent convinced.

What puzzled Shang Song was how Chu Ning ended up in this Inner Hall.

They followed closely behind to go to Divine Spring Pool. If Chu Ning had returned the same way, he would have met them face-to-face.

But if Chu Ning went through the Restriction Barrier behind Divine Spring Pool, Shang Song did not quite believe it.

Even Shen Yu’s slightest touch would result in divine annihilation, and Lu Xuedao did not dare attempt it lightly.

Could Chu Ning, a Golden Core Cultivator, truly pass through the Restriction Barrier?

Chu Ning sensed the probing intent in Shang Song’s words and naturally wouldn’t respond directly.

He simply shook his head and said,

"Divine Spring Pool? I haven’t been there."

Chu Ning denied it, but Shang Song did not give up his suspicion, and although he did not speak, he still gave Chu Ning a deep look.

As for Lu Xuedao, he casually glanced at Chu Ning but did not pay much attention.

To him, the Sect Leader of Illusion Spirit Sect and others were of greater importance.

After all, once inside the Inner Hall, his competition would be with these people.

Regarding Chu Ning, if he truly walked from Divine Spring Pool, there would naturally be a chance to ask for clarification after exiting Void Abyss.

The hall returned to silence, but apparently, everyone was far from calm inside.

Afterward, cultivators started arriving one after another.

Without exception, they were all Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Upon entering, these cultivators either joined Lu Xuedao’s faction or Tantai Ze’s side.

Only one small elderly Loose Cultivator, after assessing the situation, chose to stand with Chu Ning and the others.

After roughly half an hour, nearly fifty people had gathered within the hall.

Lu Xuedao and Tantai Ze’s groups numbered a little over twenty each.

While Chu Ning’s side only had six cultivators.

At that moment, bursts of radiant light suddenly erupted towards the Inner Hall.

After the gleaming light subsided, two grand and ancient doors appeared and slowly opened on their own.

Seeing this scene, the cultivators who were meditating all stood up.

Lu Xuedao swiftly stepped to the Inner Hall’s doorway, followed closely by cultivators from Ice Island Immortal City, Divine Sound Valley, and other places.

On the other side, Sect Leader Tantai Ze from Illusion Spirit Sect and Old Demon Qu exchanged a glance.

Tantai Ze shook his head, and the two ultimately did not make a move.

When the glowing rays finally dissipated, Lu Xuedao immediately led the group in a swift entrance.

In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty people had all entered the Inner Hall.

Until all their figures vanished through the great doors, Tantai Ze only then waved and said:

"Let’s go!"

After saying that, he led the way into the Inner Hall.

Not long after, the hall was left with only Chu Ning and the six others.

It was then Qiu Qijun cheerfully stood up and said:

"We shall go as well. While they feast, perhaps we might get a share."

After finishing, his gaze swept over Chu Ning.

"Young Friend Chu, would you like to go in together?"

Chu Ning couldn’t quite understand what he meant, so he shook his head anyway.

"Please, Elder. I’m uninterested in any treasures inside; I just wish to leave safely."

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Qiu Qijun smiled and did not say more.

Instead, he darted towards the Inner Hall.

During Chu Ning’s brief exchange, the other four had already entered the Inner Hall.

The two of them were thus the last ones left.

Not until Qiu Qijun’s silhouette had entered through the Inner Hall’s doors did Chu Ning cautiously proceed.

Just as he was about to reach the Inner Hall’s doorway, he vaguely noticed Qiu Qijun’s figure pause slightly ahead.

At that moment, a sharp Magic Blade suddenly issued from the entrance.

"Qiu Qijun? This person uses a Wind Technique, why is he suddenly attacking me?"

Seeing this, Chu Ning frowned and prepared to cast a spell to counter.

"Young one, dodge!"

Just then, the voice of Elder Turtle suddenly sounded in his mind.

Although slightly puzzled, Chu Ning immediately followed the command.

Using Phantom Escape, with a flick, he dodged the enormous Wind Blade.

As the Wind Blade sliced through the phantom.

Chu Ning again employed Phantom Escape, his silhouette reappearing at the Inner Hall doorway, and then with a grim expression, he proceeded toward the Inner Hall.

Simultaneously, he began using Divine Sense to inquire from Elder Turtle.

"Elder Turtle, you stopped me from receiving that Wind Blade, was there a reason?"

"This Inner Hall entrance’s restriction was elaborately arranged by Void Sect back then.

If any cultivator uses a spell, it may trigger the restriction, prematurely sealing the Inner Hall."
