Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1098 - 987: Testing Each Other

The six martial artists walked forward and asked Duan Gujin about his past experiences.After a round of mutual inquiries, Duan Gujin learned that after entering the ruins of the ancient city, these six had been transported by a strong burst of transmission energy to other parts of the Ancient God Ruins, and later regrouped.

"This can't be true. Our team includes Tang Qi, the builder of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, though he is merely a residual soul. He is extremely powerful, and we're no match for him. I earlier suspected it was him who transported us to these Ancient God Ruins, but it seems it's not the case after listening to your answers."

Duan Gujin proceeded to tell them in great detail about the events that had occurred previously.

"We haven't encountered any creatures from the Exotic Realm here; we were just transported elsewhere."

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the six martial artists looked at each other, each filled with the sense of incredulity.

Duan Gujin frowned, as earlier he had thought it was Tang Qi who transported them to every corner of the Ancient God Ruins.

After hearing from the six martial artists, he realized that the strong transmission energy wasn't cast by Tang Qi.

"Could it be these six are deceiving me?"

After observing them closely for a while, he felt that the six didn't seem intent on deceiving him.

Meanwhile, the six were secretly communicating among themselves, discussing whether Duan Gujin's words were true.

Duan Gujin intended to gauge their thoughts from their facial expressions. However, after a while, he noticed something—he found their expressions quite peculiar, giving off a feeling of insincerity despite their smiles.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly understood.

"Turns out, all six of them are wearing masks."

He was unable to use Divine Sense to probe here, and could only rely on his eyes to examine the expressions of the six martial artists.

If one martial artist had a stiff expression and a fake smile, it might indicate something wrong with that martial artist alone.

But with six appearing before him, all with stiff expressions and fake smiles, there was only one explanation: all six were wearing human-skin masks.

"How about this, friend? Let's set out together. How should we address you?"

A female warrior asked curiously.

"My name is Duan Gujin. Hmm, you can just call me Brother Duan," Duan Gujin replied blandly.

"Sure, sure, sure."

Then the six had Duan Gujin take the lead, and they all proceeded forward together.

Here, they could only exert the combat power of the Martial Emperor Realm.

They knew they needed an ally, for having one more ally meant more strength and a better chance to defeat the lurking enemies here.

The six had previously considered that at least Duan Gujin knew of the enemy Quan Douhe, and Tang Qi was an enemy to Quan Douhe.

Despite being disciples of the three Great Immortal Sects of the Divine World, they were unaware of all the occurrences here and needed someone to guide them. Perhaps they could rely on Duan Gujin to find favor with Tang Qi.

Of course, they were well aware that Tang Qi, as a residual soul, wasn't entirely trustworthy.

But given the situation, they had no choice. They were trapped here; if they couldn't find a way out, they might be stuck here forever, which wasn't what they wanted.

Initially, the six were intrigued by the Ancient God Ruins they had entered, hoping to find some worthwhile treasures there.

Thus, during their prior exploration, they diligently searched each place, which had wasted much time.

Now learning from Duan Gujin that the Ancient God Ruins themselves held little valuable treasure, but the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace within the ruins did contain treasures they desired, had them imagining the wealth the palace might hold.

"Luckily, we met this person on the road, saving us from many wrong turns."

After a brief discussion, the six concluded.

Although they were at the Shattering Void Realm, and in terms of strength, far stronger than Duan Gujin and Martial Saint Realm martial artists,

upon entering here, their real combat power was restricted to the Martial Emperor Realm, making it impossible to unleash their true strength.

While on the road, suddenly, a female warrior asked, "Brother Duan, is it true we can't use Divine Sense to probe here? If not, how did Tang Qi bring you to the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace?"

"Tang Qi told me he set up an extremely powerful Divine Sense shield here. He didn't tell me how he found the way to the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace from these ruins. I can only speculate that he determined it from some structure within these ruins. However, Quan Douhe likely knows the mysteries of these ruins well and may have set many traps here. We must be wary of Quan Douhe, as I think he has entirely altered this place!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Do you believe Tang Qi when he says he will give you the treasures here if you help him defeat Quan Douhe?"

A female warrior asked tentatively.

Duan Gujin glanced at the female warrior and said, "I don't believe what he says, and neither should you. I believe none of you are fools! Our current task is to get out of this cursed place alive. If we can get treasures here, great, but given the current situation, survival is paramount. If we lose our lives here, any number of treasures would be worthless. There are not only Quan Douhe but at least a hundred Exotic Realm Creatures here! To take treasures from the three major forces, you can imagine how difficult it is."

Hearing this, the six martial artists agreed with Duan Gujin's words.

They immediately grew tense, having thought their journey was simply a treasure-hunting adventure. Only now did they realize the trip was fraught with danger.

The group had traveled three kilometers when suddenly, at a bend in the path, they saw over a dozen figures ahead.

Upon closer inspection, they recognized the figures ahead as creatures from the Exotic Realm.

"Oh no! Exotic Realm Creatures ahead!"

Seeing the Exotic Realm Creatures, Duan Gujin and the others immediately prepared for battle.

Those Exotic Realm Creatures also spotted Duan Gujin and the others and rushed forward.

"Attack!"
