The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 836 - 269: Zhou Qing Quietly Retreats Behind Shen Hanyi! (6k)_4

On the right side of the mine shaft, over a thousand Bronze Knights riding skeletal horses appeared, each exuding a terrifying aura.

Shen Hanyi saw this, and reluctantly chose to retreat.

This was why, despite simulating countless times, she never dared to venture deep into this forbidden zone.

As the two withdrew and transformed back into light spheres, both their stamina and Spiritual Power returned to peak condition once again.

"Senior, with your casual Inscription Level Divine Techniques, no, Tao Trace Level Divine Techniques, shouldn't you be able to get through easily?" Shen Hanyi said to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he gave an awkward smile to cover his unease, saying, "Mainly, it's not convenient for me to make a move."

"Why?" Shen Hanyi looked puzzled.

Zhou Qing reluctantly made up an excuse: "I've been traveling in the mortal world recently, and if I use Spiritual Power rashly, my previous cultivation efforts might go to waste."

Shen Hanyi nodded slightly, seemingly understanding but not entirely.

"Let's take another route," Zhou Qing suggested.

Shen Hanyi nodded in agreement, exhaling lightly, and once again invited Zhou Qing to enter.

This time, they chose a different direction, but before long, they were blocked by other creatures of the forbidden zone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Helplessly, they transformed into light spheres once more.

After several attempts like this, the farthest distance they reached only allowed them to vaguely see the central eerie plain.

They couldn't get any closer, and this was the ideal distance achieved while trying their best to avoid the mine shafts, without any direct confrontation.

In reality, who could pass through those hundred thousand mine shafts?

Many would have died countless times by now.

And this time, the two stood on an ancient tree, gazing at the blurry plain in the distance, both feeling slightly fatigued.

Shen Hanyi quietly glanced at Zhou Qing.

If Number One could take action, he could undoubtedly push through with ease, but unfortunately—

"Roar~"

Suddenly, a wail they had never heard before echoed from the previously calm plain, resembling the final wail of a dying giant beast.

This immediately sparked a gleam in both their eyes.

Could it be that Divine Beast?

"Senior, if we continue forward, I would still be completely devoured by the swarms of transparent worms parasitizing on the ancient rune slabs, and none of the other routes work either," Shen Hanyi said with a difficult expression.

Zhou Qing looked at the plain with an unwilling expression, having expended so much effort; this was the closest they had gotten for the second time.

"Perhaps the newly refreshed [Eightfold Sticker] might be worth a try!" Zhou Qing suddenly looked at the Strange Records.

This item wouldn't be useful for long, and might even hinder the refresh of other stickers like the [Corpse-Touching Sticker].

Might as well take this opportunity to test it, especially since the sound indicated the Divine Beast seemed not far from them.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Qing flipped his hand, and a post with eight loops inscribed on it appeared in his palm.

"Here!" Zhou Qing handed it over to Shen Hanyi.

Shen Hanyi took it with curiosity: "What's this?"

"Never mind, just inject all your Spiritual Power into it and see!" Zhou Qing said with anticipation.

Frowning slightly at the post in her hand, Shen Hanyi didn't understand.

But she decided to follow Zhou Qing's advice and give it a try nonetheless.

"Look towards the plain ahead!" Zhou Qing reminded her.

Shen Hanyi nodded, then took a deep breath, slowly closing her eyes, and began to channel her Spiritual Power within.

As her sea of consciousness churned, the terrifying Divine Sense belonging to the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm poured entirely into the post.

Suddenly, the post in her hand emitted a gentle light.

Clang—

In the next moment, a metallic collision sound suddenly rang out.

The unexpected sound startled both of them, and then, before their eyes, a ring suddenly appeared.

The ring was black, emanating a faint halo, until the scene of a mine shaft farther away appeared inside.

At the entrance of that mine shaft, a bronze coffin was hanging prominently, with the rest of the place covered in webs, faintly lit by eight spheres glimmering inside.

Seeing this, Shen Hanyi was completely shocked and instinctively looked at Zhou Qing.

"This this this..."
