Chapter 968: Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake

“Brother Shang won’t be able to sustain it for much longer...” Huang Yu wanted to use the chance to smoke out the trump cards and tricks Lou Yi and the others were hiding.

He would rather smash his head into a wall and kill himself than believe that True Immortal Chong Shan didn’t prepare anything for them in case they ran into trouble. He even believed that Lou Yi and the others had more than 1 trump card on them.

It was true that Shang Xia was exhausting a good amount of dipper qi, but it was far from how badly he portrayed it.

Lou Yi and the others also seem to understand how dire the situation was. The experts of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake weren’t deaf or blind and neither were they fools. They would definitely send someone to investigate the matter of a region of weakness suddenly appearing in their grand formation.

Lou Yi’s expression wasn’t the best at the moment, but it wasn’t actually because of Shang Xia. It was because of their spy...

With a soft grunt, Lou Yi pulled the brass bracelet off his wrist and it started to expand.

Seeing as it reached the same size as the hole Shang Xia had corroded from the barrier, Lou Yi shoved it in without hesitation.

Shang Xia no longer needed to exhaust as much inner qi and he felt the pressure on him lessening slightly. With the gap quickly widening to the size of a man, Huang Yu yelled, “I’ll take the lead!”

Clearly, he had to take the chance to improve Lou Yi’s impression of him at the moment. Being the first to go in would mean that he would be risking his life in case he ran into any sort of ambush.

Who would have thought that Lou Yi would stop him before he could rush through the hole? Lou Yi’s growl rang in everyone’s ears. “No. You’ll stay behind me. Senior Brother Shan, you’ll be the last to enter.”

After he spoke, he didn’t wait for Huang Yu to say anything else before he rushed through the gap in the barrier.

Huang Yu followed behind him after snapping out of his shock.

With a soft chuckle, Fei Gu muttered, “Alright, I’ll go next.”

Shang Xua turned to look at Lou Zhe, and he saw Lou Zhe staring back at him.

Without waiting for either of them to give way to each other, Shan Yunchao growled, “The Nine Aperture Bracelet wouldn’t be able to hold for too long! Mister Shang, please enter!”

Shang Xia didn’t try to decline and he nodded before rushing through the gap. He entered the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake the next moment.

Lou Zhe and Shan Yunchao rushed in behind him.

Now that everyone had entered, Lou Yi casually pointed to the barrier, and the Nine Aperture Bracelet shrank and returned to his wrist.

All 6 of them had no time to admire the amazing scenery of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake as they felt several powerful auras in the distance racing towards them.

The protection formation then emitted powerful rays of light as restrictions around them started to activate.

The Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake still possessed an Elysium at the end of the day and the grand formation didn’t just cause a layer of mist to restrict one’s divine will and create a barrier... Their grand formation was a massive combination of several formations!

Even if an enemy managed to get past the protection barrier, they would be surrounded by countless layers of restrictions until their experts arrived.

However, the location where Lou Yi and the others arrived seemed completely void of any sort of restrictions Their spy in the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake most likely destroyed all the restrictions in the surrounding already!

Strangely enough, their spy didn’t bother meeting them. He left after doing his job and he seemed like he didn’t wish to reveal his identity.

Whatever it was, all of them knew that they shouldn’t be standing around. With Lou Yi leading the way again, they left.

Fei Gu, who was trailing behind, laughed suddenly, “Our spy in the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake seems to have his own agenda for doing this...”

Lou Yi didn’t say anything, but his expression was extremely gloomy at the moment.

Lou Zhe grunted in a low voice while standing close to the back of the group, “Third Brother, Senior Brother Shan, do you know the identity of our spy?”

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lou Yi didn’t respond as he continued to lead the way. Instead, Shan Yunchao was the one who replied, “I’m afraid only Ancestor Chong Shan would know who he is...”

He didn’t forget to glance at Lou Yi after he spoke. However, as he was the person in the very last position, no one managed to notice his strange action.

Unlike everyone else who was feeling extremely uneasy, Shang Xia seemed a lot more relaxed now that they entered the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake. He even had the luxury to spread his divine will around to inspect their surroundings.

“Where are we going now?” Seeing as no one else was talking, Shang Xia decided to break the awkward silence.

The heaven and earth qi in the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake was a lot denser than outside and Shang Xia was circulating his inner qi to restore the dipper qi he had lost earlier.

His Five Element Origin was able to convert the world origin of the Spirit Abundance World into energy for himself, and even he didn’t expect it before entering the world. Not only was it easier to pretend to be an expert from the Spirit Abundance World, but he was also able to get rid of the repulsion from the world and the hostility of the World’s Will. He was no longer suppressed and he regained his combat strength at the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm.

With that, Shang Xia gained another amazing trump card he could use in case anything went wrong, and not even Huang Yu knew about it.

Since he was able to regain all of his combat abilities, he wasn’t afraid of anyone under the Martial Void Realm! Unless a True Immortal personally took part in the battle, he could handle anything else! That was his greatest source of confidence at the moment.

Lou Yi, who was walking at the very front, muttered without even turning his head. “We’re going to the Heavenly Lake Secret Region!”

Shang Xia learned that the Heavenly Lake Secret Region contained the Elysium of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake from their conversations some time ago. However, Lou Yi stopped the next moment and muttered, “The experts from the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake have surrounded us...”

Lou Zhe, who stood close to the back of the group, muttered, “Senior Brother Shan and I will deal with this. Third Brother, you guys look for the secret region. It would be for the best if you manage to find our guy...”

They disappeared the next moment and powerful fluctuations appeared in the distance. It was clear a massive battle had broken out. From the disturbance, they seemed to be headed for the entrance of the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake.

“Follow me!” Lou Yi continued to lead the way. After entering the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake, Lou Yi seemed to have transformed into a completely different person.

Huang Yu shot a discrete glance at Shang Xia before rushing behind Lou Yi.

Perhaps Shan Yunchao and Lou Zhe attracted too much attention, but Lou Yi and the others didn’t run into any accidents as they made their way deeper into the faction.

Not too long later, they passed a mountain ridge and the lake that was protected by the Five Links Ridge appeared in their sights.

“Is this the Heavenly Lake?” Huang Yu couldn’t help but take a step forward while gasping in admiration. The scene was simply too magnificent. Despite looking at the lake, he seemed to notice Lou Yi hiding something in his sleeves the next moment.

“That’s right. This is the Heavenly Lake and it’s where the Heavenly Lake Secret Region is...” Lou Yi replied.
