Chapter 298.3: Danger Averted, Problem Unraveled
It was not so bad here at the Divine Healers Sect when compared to the Hunters Guild where more than ten of their people have lost their lives. When their first member died, Zhuge Xiong had thought that it was merely an accident. So he had sent out others to go scout for a way up those steps but all of them have died, without a single exception.
“Have you been able to spot anything strange?” Seeing that almost half of their people have been decimated, Zhuge Xiong could not help feeling a little frustrated, and his eyes were tinged with suspicion as he looked at Qing Tian Lin.
Is this fella even reliable or not?
“Mm. I know it now.” Qing Tian Lin nodded his head slowly and went on to say: “These stairs, since one is unable to climb them through conventional methods, then the only thing left to do is to destroy them.”
“What did you say?” Zhuge Xiong’s eyes were wide as he stared at the man. “How are we going to get up there if we destroy those steps?”
“This is the only way. Those people from the Mind Free Peak have overestimated themselves. They think that no one could possibly come to think of such a thing and employed such a sneaky trick. How sneaky.” Qing Tian Lin said with the corners of his lips curled up, his voice contemptuous.
Hearing that, Zhuge Xiong’s brows knitted up and replied questioningly: “And what if your plan still does not work? Wouldn’t all our efforts have been wasted for nothing! ?”
Qing Tian Lin was just about to open his mouth to explain when a clear and indifferent voice sounded out not far behind him. “Little Yan, go destroy that thing.”
“Yes, Young Lord.” A sweet nubile voice then rang out in response.
The next moment, before anyone could even react, a petite little figure suddenly leapt up into the air, to soar through the air towards the glass steps.
Both her hands then lashed out in front of her, and a highly searing black flame launched out to engulf the glass steps completely like a long weaving dragon, the fire growing in intensity as time passed.
“Heavens! What is that little lass doing?”
“Is she trying to destroy the steps to completely sever each and everyone’s chances?”
“Everyone look! Why is there water dripping from those steps? !”
After that person’s voice fell, everyone could not help but to turn inquisitively towards the steps, and they saw that water was indeed dripping down from the stairs that were wrapped in thick black flames.
A short while later, the young girl then retracted that strange mysterious fire, before she slowly descended onto the ground.
Looking at the stairs again, those glass steps have completely disappeared, without a single trace of it left behind. And the thick misty clouds that surrounded the Mind Free Peak were all gone as well, the entire place revealed unobstructed before everyone’s eyes.
It was only when everyone saw the true face of the Mind Free Peak that they came to realize why those people who went up there had disappeared.
Right before the splendid and majestic architecture, a deep chasm that was several tens of meters wide could now be seen.
