Cultivation Online-Chapter 1381 Red Altar

1381 Red Altar

"Enough, Kulas. I am glad that you saved my life. What happened to Gu Lim wasn't your fault. It's Gu Lim's own fault for picking the fight, as well as mine for ending his life." Tian Yang said with a calm smile on his face, almost as though he'd already accepted his fate.

"Anyways, if you don't intend on leaving me alone, should we start making our way to the second section?"

Kulas nodded, "So we'll finally start exploring the tomb for real now, huh? Do you know where to start?"

He shook his head, "Nope. No clue. I guess we can just wander around like we did for the trials and hope for the best."

"Alright, but unlike the first section, there will be magical beasts and countless dangerous traps awaiting us. We have to move around with care."

Tian Yang nodded, "That's obvious."

He looked around and asked, "By the way, which direction is the second section in?"

Kulas shrugged and said, "No clue, but we can ask around."

The two of them continued to wander until they came across someone.

"Excuse me, do you know where the second section is located?" Kulas asked.

"Do you see that mountain over there? Keep moving in that direction until you see a red-colored altar. That will teleport you to the second section of the tomb."

"Thank you very much."

Now with a new destination, Tian Yang and Kulas followed the mountain's direction.

One day… two days… four days…

One week… two weeks… three weeks…

Tian Yang and Kulas traveled for nearly an entire month before they reached their destination.

They stopped before a red altar, located at what seemed like the edge of the world.

"How do we activate this?" Kulas inspected the red altar.

"Activate." Tian Yang muttered out loud.

"..."

"Activate teleport."

"I guess not." Tian Yang shook his head.

"What are you idiots doing?" A clear voice suddenly resounded behind them.

"What?" Tian Yang turned around with a slightly surprised look on his face, as he couldn't feel their presence until just now.

Not far away, a group of young ladies were approaching his direction. There were four of them, each being a world-class beauty that could topple kingdoms with their appearance alone.

Kulas frowned when he saw these ladies, almost as if he recognized them.

"Hm? If it isn't Kulas. What a surprise. You had me believe that you didn't come to this place when I didn't see you at the beginning." The lady leading the group spoke when she saw Kulas.

The group of ladies ignored Tian Yang, walking right past him before stopping in front of Kulas.

"Where have you been?"

"That is none of your business, Ren Xia" Kulas sneered with a hint of disgust within his tone.

"Of course it is. We are engaged to each other, after all." The lady named Ren Xia said with a slight smile on her face.

"Hmph. What an unfunny joke, acting like you actually care about that."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"In case you forgot, you were the first one to express your disapproval of our engagement."

Tian Yang watched their interaction with interest. He didn't know Kulas was engaged.

'Now that I think about it, he's from a prominent background. It would be weird if he wasn't engaged.'

"If you're here to bother me, I won't entertain you," Kulas said with a slight frown.

Ren Xia shifted her gaze from Kulas to the red altar beside him and spoke, "Are you trying to activate the portal? Are you having trouble? Do you need me to help you? I'll help you if you ask me nicely."

"In your dreams, you annoying bitch." Kulas sneered in disgust.

Ren Xia immediately frowned and said, "As rude as ever, I see. If our parents had been here to hear that, you would've received a serious spanking."

"But since you refused my help, I would like to see how you'll activate it." Ren Xia turned to look at the ladies behind her and continued, "Ladies, let us take a break here. We might even see some funny things in just a bit."

"Che."

Kulas ignored them and walked to Tian Yang.

"Just act like they don't even exist."

"Is it really okay to treat your fiancee in such a manner?" Tian Yang asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't let her appearance fool you. She's a sadistic and narcissistic bitch. And it was our families' decision to engage us." Kulas whispered to him.

"I can hear you, you know." Ren Xia said.

"By the way, who is that? A friend? No way, right?"

Even as Ren Xia voiced her disbelief, she couldn't fathom the idea of Kulas having a friend. Nevertheless, the truth remained that she had never witnessed him display such friendliness towards anyone else.

"So what if he's a friend?" Kulas did not refute her, even confirming it.

"Seriously…?" A look of disbelief appeared on Ren Xia's face, as she didn't expect Kulas to admit it.

"Hey... I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now, but why is everyone so surprised when they find out you have a friend?" Tian Yang couldn't help but pose the question.

A stiff smile appeared on Kulas' face as he responded, "Probably because I tend to push everyone away in the past…"

"What do you mean 'in the past'? You've done it your entire life! You always have this hard-to-approach aura around you, and you would immediately shoo away anyone that tries to get close to you." Ren Xia sneered after hearing his words.

"Hard to approach?" Tian Yang found that hard to believe. His first impression of Kulas was anything but distant. In fact, Kulas seemed overly friendly during their initial meeting, almost suspiciously so.

Kulas blushed and said, "I only act like that towards those unworthy of my respect. It just turns out that everyone around me is unworthy—until I met you."

"Him? Worthy of your respect? Did you hit your head somewhere?" Ren Xia had a dumbfounded look on her face as she asked him.

Kulas narrowed his gaze at her and responded in a cold tone, "Since you are my fiancee, allow me to give you a warning. The consequences of underestimating my friend are severe. Gu Lim learned that the hard way and paid with his life."

"W-What?! Gu Lim is dead?!" Ren Xia's expression turned pale after learning of this information.
