Chapter 369
He also had a strong resistance to Bai Hua’s essence core, and was one of the few people who had no good feelings towards Bai Hua.
Hmm…At that time, he formed a team with Bai Hua simply because he wanted to trick him on purpose, and not only did he almost kill Bai Hua in the maze, but he also successfully escaped!
He was indeed the only one who survived against Bai Hua in the original novel, yet his clinginess disease, which was ready to backfire anytime, really made it extremely difficult for anyone to treat him as a teammate.
Not even Xu Ziyan…
As soon as this guy with clinginess disease approached, Xu Ziyan had to focus 100%.
“Is there something that I can do for you, cultivator?” Xu Ziyan asked without any facial expressions.
Cultivator Tianle smiled slightly, “I’m just admiring your style.”
Xu Ziyan thought, “haha…I used to tell this to Bai Hua in the novel.”
“My brother’s style has nothing to do with you.” Xu Ziyan said coldly.
Cultivator Tianle seemed to have just noticed Xu Zirong and he deliberately looked shocked, “oh, so there’s another cultivator here. You both look so elegant and handsome, no wonder you’re brothers.”
When Xu Zirong heard the word “family”, his expression changed subtly. Although he still looked cold on the surface, he felt incredibly good inside.
Xu Ziyan’s face twitched when he saw cultivator Tianle acting there. Speaking of which, Tianle was a hardworking guy with clinginess disease, at least he knew how to please the others…
In other words, he knew how to manipulate the others with words. If he wanted to, he could make others happy with just a few words.
Back then in the novel, he deliberately chatted with Bai Hua as he hadn’t understood the mystery of the map. After some casual chatting, Bai Hua was aroused and brought him to the entrance of the maze without thinking much.
Cultivator Tianle disguised it even better than Bai Hua, and it was Bai Hua who had a miserable ending…
Of course, as the destined male protagonist, Bai Hua would never die in the novel. Although he was tricked by cultivator Tianle, he discovered a hidden chamber by accident and got quite many treasures.
Xu Ziyan knew that Tianle was just like the same as mentioned in the novel – that he couldn’t understand the mystery of the map, and that’s why he deliberately got closer to the group. However, Xu Ziyan knew the true colors of Tianle, and he’d never treat him as one of his.
Cultivator Tianle felt really depressed. He’d always known that he’s super clingy, but he still insisted that he knew how to please the others.
He didn’t understand why these two cultivators were so wary of him, and they didn’t even have any intention of getting closer.
Even those cultivators from the easter sea who knew his dark history would find it difficult to keep calm under his verbal influence. Why were these two unmoved by him?
He didn’t know that it’s all because he’s not very normal…
If ordinary people were treated coldly by Xu Ziyan with their enthusiasm, then they would be furious, but cultivator Tianle became even more passionate afterwards! Almost to a point which he could just say flattering words!
Xu Ziyan simply didn’t know what to say. Even after knowing the true nature of Tianle, he found it difficult to hate him as he’s indeed quite handsome and humorous…
When the other cultivators wanted to leave or give up, Xu Ziyan still couldn’t drive away this sticky person. In desperation, he had no choice but to take him and rush towards the location of the maze.
Along the way, Xu Ziyan thought of many ways to get rid of him, but according to the novel, cultivator Tianle had the best ability to escape from danger…
Xu Ziyan thought that with his ability, it would be very difficult to get rid of this guy. Instead of making things too difficult, he might as well take him to the maze generously before parting ways. It could also be regarded as forming a good relationship.
He could still hide away from someone with that sort of disease…
The group arrived at the location of the maze very smoothly. It was a building that looked like an underwater ruin.
These buildings might have soaked in the water for a very long time, as the stone pillars and walls were covered with green seaweed. Among the seaweed, there were some conch shells of different colors, making the whole ruins look more dynamic and attractive.
“This is it?” Tianle said in surprise while looking at the huge underwater ruins.
He was as a veteran cultivator in the eastern sea, but he had never thought that there was such an ancient ruin hidden in this not-so-remote area.
The vastness of the eastern sea was really incomparable to that on land, and it was unknown how many treasures and secrets were hidden under the blue water.
“The entrance is there.” Xu Ziyan said softly, pointing to a colored light curtain not far away.
This ruins were indeed very magnificent, but the goal of their trip was the treasure, and they might as well look at this ruins further after getting the treasure.
Tianle nodded. He could still prioritize things rationally. It’s okay to explore ancient sites, but he should first put the treasure in his pocket. All in all, ancient ruins don’t run away, unlike treasures which could always be obtained by the others.
“Cultivator Tianle, let’s part here. After all, this trip is a treasure hunt, it wouldn’t be nice if it turned into something else.” Xu Ziyan looked considerate.
The corner of Tianle’s mouth twitched. His impeccable communication skills had failed in front of the Xu brothers, which really upset him. However, he didn’t have any confidence that he could defeat the two nascent soul cultivators either.
Tianle wasn’t a fool, and he wouldn’t dig his own grave.
Anyway, now that he had come to the entrance of the maze, there wasn’t any use of these two people anymore. If Xu Ziyan didn’t want him to tag along, then perhaps it’s better to separate.
Tianle thought about all this and smiled slightly at Xu Ziyan, “in this case, I will leave first, and I also wish that cultivator Xu’s trip can be…fruitful.” After finishing speaking, he jumped into the light and disappeared in front of Xu Ziyan’s eyes.
Xu Ziyan quietly let out a sigh of relief, as he’d finally sent this sick guy away! He did have an immense pressure while Tianle was around, and he always had to be extra careful.
Now that the man was gone, he could finally be relaxed, so he dragged Xu Zirong into the light curtain together.
Although the treasure under the sea was hidden, the light curtain just acted as a space door.
Behind the light curtain, there was a strange space, which was similar to the secret realm Xu Ziyan had explored in the past, yet they weren’t entirely the same.
Generally, secret realms were closed space, and there’s usually a complete continent inside.
But this maze with hidden treasures under the sea was a completely different world.
It’s a very magical place. And it’s rather a special world composed of countless fragments of continents. After Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong entered the light curtain, they were randomly teleported to one of the continents.
It’s hard to say whether they were lucky or not. The piece of fragment that they were standing on was only about a dozen miles square. When they looked up, all the scenes on the entire piece of debris fell into their eyes.
This place could be regarded as a grassland, and not far away, a few lions were lazily lying on the ground and taking a nap.
No matter which perspective, it was a very ordinary grassland. Those lions were not even monsters, but the most ordinary monsters.
Xu Ziyan looked up, and there were countless similar fragments of continents floating in the sky. Some were huge, while others were only the size of rocks. One might fall if he’s not careful enough.
That’s right, they really would fall.
There were no guardrails or anything like that on the continent fragments. Each piece was just floating in the void, surrounded by a faint layer of mist. However, this layer of mist could only protect each of these fragments to exist independently, but they couldn’t protect people on it from falling.
As for the result of the fall——
If one was lucky, he may fall on other continental fragments and survive. Otherwise, they would end up in just anywhere.
Xu Ziyan only read about this scene from a novel, so when he saw the vast void for the first time, he was still shocked. However, soon he calmed down, and he secretly rejoiced that the first continent they stepped onto was big enough, and there were no dangerous monsters.
“Ah!” Before Xu Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a poor cultivator being entangled by a huge snake demon, twisting into a pile of rotten meat. The continent where the snake demon was located was extremely close to that of Xu Ziyan, and after slowly devouring the cultivator, the snake demon slowly turned its head, staring at Xu Ziyan with its cold vertical pupils. Then, it bent down and coiled its tail in a circle.
Xu Ziyan glanced at the snake demon. It’s a demon having reached the later stage of golden core, yet it posed no threat to him. It’s only threatening to those below the level of nascent soul.
Xu Ziyan didn’t look at the broken map. Although there were detailed routes on it, they still had to enter the center of the fragmented continent to begin.
There were all small fragmented continents in the outer world, the one under Xu Ziyan’s feet was already relatively large.
There was a light curtain behind him, through which they entered here just now. At the end of this fragmented continent, there was a similar light curtain in red.
