Chapter 926: Impasse!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mountain pass was right before their eyes: a narrow and long ravine. Sunlight did not enter, forming an eerie and long shadow. From afar, it looked like a cold viper quietly crawling on the ground.
Bai Qi Feng raised his hand and all seven people instantly halted. He looked at what laid before them cautiously, a sharp look in his eyes. "If the enemy set up an ambush in this area of the mountain, this will be their last stage and also the most treacherous one! It is most suitable for ambush... everyone get ready; the battle is very likely to be before us!"
The remaining others responded in agreement. They couldn't help but reach for their swords looking at that narrow ravine before them, only feeling their palms turn cold and sweaty.
These people had been living on the edge of life and death for thousands of years and were already old beyond description. Even in the face of death, when the swords were upon their necks, it might not even bring a frown to their faces.
But right now, when faced with this rather ordinary looking ravine, they were all feeling fearful!
But this fear was not for themselves, but for the huge responsibility they were all carrying upon their shoulders! The future of the Misty Illusory Manor was in the arms of Cao Guo Feng! There was no room for mistakes!
The only thing they knew right now was that the opponent was a powerful and mysterious enemy. That person was hiding in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment. As to where this person was from? Why was he targeting the Misty Illusory Manor like this? Which force did he belong to? What was the strength of the forces behind him?
They had no clue about any of these!
The mental pressure on these seven people was even greater because of this layer of mystery.
The seven people carefully used their immense spiritual sense to scan the ravine and the two peaks before them thoroughly, but they didn't find anything! But because they didn't find anything, they were even more nervous!
The unique trait of humans feeling fearful about what they did not know—even Saint Emperors were no exceptions!
There was completely nothing, which meant there were only two possibilities. One, there was no one at all. Second... the enemy's strength was beyond all of theirs. But... the enemy had already set up such a thorough and cruel plan, how could he not arrange for the final blow?
None of the seven Saint Emperors of Misty Illusory Manor would believe that there was no one over there.
The ravine was only five zhang wide, but the sides were extremely steep, as if it were cut by a knife. The most unique thing about the ravine was that the top was mutually connected, making it seem like a giant tunnel...
Bai Qi Feng furrowed his brows and looked. "I'll go and check it out first. If anything goes wrong... just go the other way, and don't bother about me! This place is really odd and treacherous!"
Cao Guo Feng raised his head and looked at Bai Qi Feng, intense emotions in his eyes. "Qi Feng... you must be careful, if you notice anything amiss, retreat immediately and don't try to test it."
The other five members also had worried looks on their faces.
If this was the past, the seven brothers would rather live and die together, insisting on barging their way through as one! But right now, they couldn't. Even if they knew clearly that Bai Qi Feng had a low chance of making it out alive... this scouting was necessary! Even if Bai Qi Feng didn't go, someone else would still have to do it. It was only a matter of who was the one doing it.
