Weapon Master

Chapter 1549 - Gaps

"Whooosh."

After a split-second, figures appeared one after another from the arched door under everyone's gaze.

It was clear that these cultivators had just ended a fierce battle. Some of them looked exhausted, some were covered in blood, and some were badly mutilated. They were just like when they first entered this space, all of them wielding weapons with faces full of caution, ready to fight at a moment's notice.

"Junior Sister Mi!"

"Senior Zhang!"

"..."

After a short moment, shouts could be heard from the crowd and quite a number of people shot towards that direction. It was obvious that they recognized the person from the figure that just entered.

When the cultivators felt the situation in the space, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Soon after, when they realized that there were no dangers in this place, the crowd could not help but relax. Seeing their fellow sect members running over, they all went wild with joy.

Even if they were just friends in the sect, now that they had survived a disaster and met again, excitement couldn't help but surge out from their hearts. Having gone through many dangerous situations with murderous intent all over the place, they clearly understood how rare it was for them to be able to come here alive and see each other.

For a time, all sorts of excited voices sounded in the palace.

After a long time, both the cultivators that had been inside and the people that had just arrived finally calmed down a bit.

After sizing each other up for a moment, both parties were somewhat stunned.

"Senior brother Guo, why are you so few?"

A True Martial Immortal Sect disciple that came in first couldn't help but ask.

By now, the arch had vanished. However, not even a thousand Cultivators from the various Sects had appeared. Compared to the four thousand they had, it was truly pitifully small, not even half of them. Could it be that this passage was more dangerous than the one they had passed through?

"Yeah, there are only 800 people here?" What about the others? They all died? "

"Impossible, our tunnel only has a few tens of thousands of people, but the other tunnels each have around a hundred thousand people each."

"How could so many people have survived if more than a hundred thousand had entered?"

"..."

The rest of the people were also astonished.

"Hai, don't mention it."

The man in black called "Senior brother Guo" said with a bitter smile, "Although there are over a hundred thousand people in our tunnel, before we're halfway there, we're blocked by a huge stone freak."

"After battling with it for a long time, even though we successfully killed it in the end, we only have half of the cultivators that managed to enter the Beginner Immortal Ruins that survived. The rest of the stairs and the other nine stage palace s have met with different types of monsters. Our numbers also continue to decrease until only eight hundred of them survived. "

"..."

The surrounding hundreds of cultivators who had just entered the space had bitter expressions on their faces. Some of them couldn't help but cry out loud, thinking that their close friends and relatives had died on the way here.

The disciples of the True Martial Immortal Sect who had asked this question all looked at each other in dismay. A stormy storm had been stirred in their hearts.

Half of the one hundred thousand people, that was fifty to sixty thousand people, died in the passage. This was a staggering number. The boulders and monsters they had encountered were probably no weaker than the giant black tree. According to the proportion of their deaths, if they were to truly fight against the giant black tree in the tunnel they passed through, wouldn't the tens of thousands of people who entered the tunnel be completely wiped out?

"What about you?"

Senior brother Guo glanced over, "I took a look, there are more than four thousand people living in this tunnel. It's five times more than ours, but it's even less dangerous?"

The other cultivators that had just entered also looked at their fellow sect members with curiosity and puzzlement.

"Our passageway is also very dangerous."

That True Martial Immortal Sect disciple sighed, "When we first entered, we encountered a big black tree that blocked the entire passageway. However … "However..." At this point, the Zhen Wu Immortal Sect disciple looked somewhat embarrassed, coughed twice, and said, "We only lost 1000 people there."

"A thousand people? How is that possible? "

"How did you do it?"

"You must be joking!"

"..."

Upon hearing these words, the cultivators of the various sects who had just come in couldn't believe their own ears and immediately started shouting at the same time with expressions of shock.

Fifty or sixty thousand people had died in his tunnel, but only a thousand had died in theirs.

The disparity was too great!

The disparity was unbelievable, especially since there were only a few tens of thousands of cultivators. Compared to the fifty or sixty thousand deaths, the price of a thousand people was negligible. To be able to pass through the entrance with such a small loss was too unimaginable.

"This... "This..."

The disciples of the True Martial Immortal Sect stuttered, while the rest of the cultivators of the Immortal Martial Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect also had embarrassed looks on their faces.

Seeing their expressions, the cultivators that came after them were even more surprised.

"How could they have the face to say such shameful things!"

A sneer sounded out, and the one who spoke was the Spring Dragon's Immortal Gate's Mei Xuan. Amongst the 800 cultivators that just entered, there were also many that came from the Spring Dragon Immortal Sect.

After attracting everyone's gaze, the ridicule in Mei Xuan's eyes grew even stronger, and she completely ignored the ugly expressions of the nearby Zhen Wu Immortal Sect and Purple Dawn Sword Sect cultivators, "Our Junior Brother Gu Ying, who had leaped into the Dragon Immortal Gate, used her own strength to absorb the strength of the huge black tree and opened the entrance passage, allowing tens of thousands of people to enter the 'Beginning Immortal Writ' with ease."

"After that, Junior Brother Gu completely suppressed that fierce plant creature in the ninth level of the space, which resulted in the lowest number of casualties among the cultivators of the various sects. It's one thing for the people from the True Martial Immortal Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect to not be grateful, but to think that they would actually gather people to snatch the treasures on Junior Brother Gu Ying's body.

"There's such a thing?"

"Absorbing the power of the monster into the passage by himself? This … That's unlikely, isn't it? "

"The people of the True Martial Immortal Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect are so ungrateful?"

"..."

The newly arrived cultivators from the various sects all exclaimed in surprise.

What Mei Xuan said was indeed extremely inconceivable. However, looking at the expressions of the cultivators from the True Martial Immortal Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect, everyone knew that what she said should be true.

It was indeed contemptible to be able to do such a thing.

However, at the same time they despised him, everyone was surprised by the Spring Dragon Immortal Sect cultivator called 'Gu Ying'. They knew very well how terrifying the power of the monster guarding the entrance was. Gu Ying was actually able to absorb its power, break through the road, and let tens of thousands of people enter the "Beginning Immortal Encyclopedia" unharmed. This was simply a miracle. If there were other experts amongst them, why would they have paid such a heavy price in the entrance passage?

In the blink of an eye, the gazes of everyone impatiently shot towards the group of cultivators that had yet to approach them.
