LRAB Chapter 203 Closure
Chapter 203 Closure
Uncle Zhong and Ji Yunhan remained in the plaza, not accompanying Shen Feng to the Earthflame Testing Ground.
About twenty minutes after following Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming, Shen Feng could clearly feel the temperature around him rising. However, it was still within the tolerable range for ordinary humans.
Eventually, Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming stopped with Shen Feng in front of the entrance to an ancient stone chamber.
The door to the entire stone chamber stood wide open, with rolling heat waves ceaselessly sweeping out from within.@@@@
Ordinary people standing at the entrance of the stone chamber would undoubtedly be unable to bear it, sustaining severe burns over large areas of their skin.
Xiang Guangzhen said respectfully, "Senior, this is the Taiyi Sect's Earthflame Testing Ground. Do you need us to accompany you inside?"
Shen Feng casually replied, "No need."
After saying this, he stepped into the Earthflame Testing Ground.
The Earthflame Testing Ground was vast; Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming watched from the doorway as Shen Feng gradually disappeared from their sight, their expressions turning exceedingly complex.
On the wall next to the entrance of this stone chamber, a fist-sized blue crystal stone was embedded.
This Earthflame Testing Ground had been passed down from a very distant past.
The materials used to build this Earthflame Testing Ground were extraordinary, impenetrable even to Grandmasters at the peak of Innate power.
But if the blue crystal stone embedded in the wall were to be shattered, then the entrance of the Earthflame Testing Ground would be instantly sealed by a heavy stone door, and the temperature within the entire Testing Ground would continue to rise, and rise further, until even a Grandmaster at the peak of Innate power could be scorched to death.
The blue crystal stone required a Grandmaster at the late stage of Innate power to break, and the stone door sealing the entrance was likewise unbreakable by a Grandmaster at the peak of Innate power. This mechanism was only known to the Supreme Elders, the Sect Leader, and all the Elders.
The gazes of Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming involuntarily converged on the blue crystal stone.
They exchanged glances, and Xiang Guangzhen shook his head, saying, "Let it be, let it be. This incident was sparked by our Taiyi Sect; let's not create further trouble."
Xiang Hengming nodded in agreement with Xiang Guangzhen's words.
They were truly unaware of the masked person's real strength. What if the door of the Earthflame Testing Ground couldn't stop him? If it came to that, the Taiyi Sect would be left with nothing but a bloodbath, and they did not have the courage to gamble the fate of the Taiyi Sect.
...
At this moment.
The naked Qiu Zhongsheng fiercely gripped Xiang Bin's neck, and as Xiang Taiqing and Shi Haoyan drew closer, he roared, "You'd best not make any rash moves, or else I'll crush this kid's throat."
They hadn't been particularly vigilant since they thought this old guy had been seriously injured and had passed out—who knew he would suddenly increase his strength.
Qiu Zhongsheng positioned Xiang Bin in front of himself, his lower parts completely pressing against Xiang Bin's buttocks. Having just broken through in his cultivation, that part of him even started to rise.
Xiang Bin felt an uncomfortable sensation on his buttocks, being poked by an old man was not a pleasant experience at all! Feeling the pain on his neck, he tried to speak but could hardly produce a clear sound.
Xiang Taiqing, with a sullen face, snapped, "Qiu Zhongsheng, do you still not see the error of your ways even now?"
Qiu Zhongsheng sneered, "I've chosen my path, and I'll see it to the dark end. None of you will stop me; you forced my hand."
He then said to the dazed Fei Chao, "Disciple, I will soon send that masked man to meet King Yama."
As his words fell, he carried off Xiang Bin swiftly towards the direction of the Earthflame Testing Ground.
Xiang Taiqing and the others immediately followed suit.
When Qiu Zhongsheng arrived at the Earthflame Testing Ground with Xiang Bin in tow,
Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming were the first to notice. Their eyes narrowed upon seeing Qiu Zhongsheng using Xiang Bin as a shield, leaving them hesitant to act.
Suddenly,
Qiu Zhongsheng dashed towards the entrance of the Earthflame Testing Ground.
It was then Xiang Guangzhen and Xiang Hengming realized that Qiu Zhongsheng's cultivation had broken through to the Innate Late Stage—what was this bastard trying to do?
They closed in quickly, but it was too late as Qiu Zhongsheng already swung a punch at a blue Crystal Stone.
With a "crack,"

the blue Crystal Stone shattered, and the ground trembled slightly.
"Boom"
A massively heavy stone door sealed the entrance to the Earthflame Testing Ground so tightly that not even a mosquito could escape.
