Chapter 188: Master Is Embarrassed

“No use.”

Zhou Shu had used many methods, but they were useless against the quicksand.

In a situation where they were unable to use their cultivation, they were no different from mortals except for their slightly superior strength.

Ordinary quicksand naturally could not do anything to them. However, the quicksand here was like a bottomless pit and the nemesis of strength, making them helpless.

They could only wait to slowly sink into the quicksand.

And become its nutrients.

“Lie down. That should ease the pace of us being swallowed.”

Zheng Xi tried.

Their Dharma treasures were useless.

This was a dead end.

“Will it really work?”

Jin Yu was a little worried.

“I’ll try the effect.”

With that, Zheng Xi lay back down.

“It seems to be of some use.” Zhou Shu also laid back as he gauged.

Jin Yu hesitated for a moment before lying down. He was worried that he would never be able to get up again.

That would be very frustrating.

But if he could hold on for a little longer, that would naturally be good too.

At least he could live a little longer.

A little longer and there would be more possibilities.

“I heard this method from the villagers when I was young. I didn’t expect it to really be useful. “Zheng Xi was somewhat glad.

However, she soon felt dejected.

She was going to die today.

Zhou Shu said apologetically,

“It’s all my fault. If not for my preconceived notions, Senior Brother wouldn’t have made things difficult for us.”

“Why don’t we try asking for help?” Jin Yu suggested.

At this moment, they only had half of their bodies outside. In other words, if they did not call for help, they would die soon.

“I’ll do it.” Zhou Shu immediately said.

“I’m the one who caused this. I’ll bear the consequences alone.”

Then, Zhou Shu shouted to the sky,

“Senior Brother, save me!”

It’s me…”

Zhou Shu hesitated but did not apologize.

“I can’t apologize,” Zhou Shu immediately said. In order not to be misunderstood, he added.

“Once I apologize, it means that we feel that Senior Brother is making things difficult for us. This could make it seem like we are offending Senior Brother. ”

“Then what should we do?” Jin Yu asked.

They couldn’t apologize. What could they do?

“What if he is waiting for us to admit our mistakes?” Zheng Xi asked.

The three of them were in a dilemma now.

Just as they were at their wits’ end, Jin Yu suddenly said.

“Sometimes apologies don’t have to be spoken.”

Zhou Shu was instantly enlightened. He tried to get up and said.

“You guys shall shout for help while I will bow in apology.”

Although he could no longer kneel, he could still bow.

Zheng Xi hesitated for a moment before nodding.

This was the only way.

Then, shouts of pleading could be heard.

Zhou Shu kept bowing as if he was apologizing.

However, after waiting for a long time, they still couldn’t see Jiang Lan.

At this moment, even their strength was absorbed by the quicksand.

At this moment, they were lying weakly on the quicksand, the sand covering their chests.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they died completely.

“Senior Brother, we were wrong! Come and save us!”

Zhou Shu spoke weakly.

However, no sound could be heard.

He was losing his strength.

Zheng Xi opened her mouth but no sound came out.

Jin Yu felt like he was about to die.

They were in despair.

They were already like this, yet their Senior Brother still didn’t want to come and save them?

What then?

They were really going to die.

They were from the same sect after all.

Jin Yu felt his consciousness starting to fade. Zhou Shu and the rest were on their last breaths.

Just as they were about to faint, a calm voice entered their ears.

“You guys can’t even break such a simple quicksand array formation?”

In a daze, Jin Yu felt someone land beside them.

Zhou Shu and Zheng Xi more or less felt it too.

But they could not open their eyes, nor could they think.

But their instincts told them that they might be saved.

Jiang Lan looked down at the three of them.

When he rushed back, he found that the auras of these three people were somewhat weak.

He specially came to check on the situation.

What he saw was naturally the three dying people trapped in a quicksand array formation.

It was a very ordinary array formation.

He remembered that Jin Yu and Zheng Xi were from the Fifth Summit. Were their array formation skills that bad?

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan rescued the three of them and placed them in a safe space.

After Mo Yang was killed by him, everything had returned to normal, and there were no more minor attacks.

The change was not big, but it was safer.

At least for the three people.

With a flash of light, Jiang Lan activated a healing spell and set up a healing array formation around him.

This would allow these three to recover faster.

The mystic realm had just opened. If he were to just let the three be and stay down till the end of the trip, that would be his negligance.

“Xiao Yu is coming.”

After casting the spell technique, Jiang Lan looked behind him.

His speed was much faster than Xiao Yu’s, and there was no array formation stopping him. It was not strange for him to arrive earlier.

Along the way, he even went to sign in.

There wasn’t much of a surprise when signing in.

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained an elixir, Immortal Blood Pill.]

[Immortal Blood Pill: This pill will make one’s blood boil, burning the body to protect the spirit, allowing one to achieve a True Immortal body.]

As he recalled, Jiang Lan knew that this was a pill that could allow him to quickly enter the True Immortal Realm.

However, according to the usual practice, he would only use it when he reached the perfected Human Immortal Realm.

“It would appear that I will be able to enter the True Immortal Realm soon. With that, I will be able to face the abnormal changes to the Netherworld’s Entrance much more easily.”

He did not receive any Creation of Heaven and Earth, but he had received a Immortal Blood Pill. This was sufficient.

They were all things that could help him advance to the next realm.

The urgent matter at hand was to enter the perfected Human Immortal Realm.

There was still roughly sixty years before the Netherworld’s Entrance erupted once again.

There should be enough time.

Mo Zhengdong stood on the grass and looked ahead.

He looked tired.

“Senior Brother, it’s been two days. When can you crack the array formation?” Miao Yue asked softly.

She was happy to watch and had no intention of acting.

Chen Xi looked at him coldly.

“Are you sure you are Jiang Lan’s master?”

“I have understood the general changes to the array formation,” Mo Zhengdong said seriously.

Miao Yue smiled at him.

Chen Xi glanced at Miao Yue.

But this glance was instantly captured by Miao Yue.

“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”

Miao Yue turned to look at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi shook her head and asked curiously.

“Junior Sister, what do you think of this array formation?”

“It’s not ordinary.” Miao Yue said calmly.

“Such a high evaluation?”

“It’s the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

A long time later.

They were still standing on the grass. Although they could see the Netherworld Cave, they could only see but not approach it.

“Let me give it a try,” Chen Xi said.

She felt that the array formation was not that strong.

Miao Yue would not praise an array formation that even she could see through.

Mo Zhengdong retreated just as Chen Xi was about to attack.

He did not force himself.

His disciple had embarrassed him.

At this moment, the clothes of Chen Xi began to glow with light. A ray of light extended forward and reached the Netherworld Cave.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Xi spoke.

Mo Zhengdong and Miao Yue naturally followed behind Chen Xi.

Before long, they arrived at the Netherworld Cave.

The Netherworld Aura surged over, but it was useless against them.

“Is this what Junior Sister meant by extraordinary?” Chen Xi looked at Miao Yue and asked.

Mo Zhengdong was a rookie in array formations. She didn’t even look at him.

“Senior sister can try divining here.” Miao Yue smiled.
