Chapter 307: The Secret Region (2)
"Brother Sang, are you going to join our group?" from a distance, Mu Xiao Ya suddenly called out. Her pretty body swayed along with her voices.
Seeing her, Lin Xiao's expression turned somber. "San, can you still feel that baleful whatever aura?"
"Yes." Prince Lin San's eyes turned golden for a moment. "It's even at higher intensity than before. However, the baleful aura is kept hidden very well so not everyone can sense that she's demonic cultivator."
Princess Lan Yi Hua's expression turned serious. "She's already quite talented in her cultivation. Why did she end up being a demonic cultivator?"
A demonic cultivator was just like the name suggest, they were using the cultivation that was very different and also violent in nature. It caused them to be growing stronger faster but losing their mind in the process.
They would end up turning into some kind of monster that knew nothing but destruction until their own body was destructed. But it was precisely because of their power that demonic cultivator was feared by many.
If a kingdom was known to be keeping demonic cultivator, they could be destroyed too. Because of that, no kingdom would acknowledge any demonic cultivator.
Lin Xiao sighed. "I can't even detect it."
"I can't too." Princess Lan Yi Hua shook her head.
They turned to look at Prince Lin Yan but the latter also shook his head. The only one who could see it would be someone who was capable to see beneath the layer of disguise that a demonic cultivator had put on.
Sang Guan clicked his tongue. He looked in the direction of Hu Fei. "Just watch, you'll surely regret coming to the secret region with just a bunch of weaklings!"
"Heh, as if." Hu Fei snorted.
They all waited until Sang Guan had disappeared into the distance before Lin Xiao asked, "Do you know him?"
"Hmm, his older brother used to be my cla.s.smates. We don't see eyes to eyes and have some qualms. Since his older brother is now in different kingdom to study, he's the one seeking trouble with me."
For Hu Fei, those who wanted to seek trouble with him numbered many but most of them were no longer here. Half of them had died while the other half had already pursued a completely different life in different kingdom or to study more.
After all, Hua Lan Kingdom was not big and the fact that there was restriction here made it impossible for them to make breakthrough above Golden Core Stage 3 unless they met with some Heaven defying event or treasure.
This was the reason why secrets regions were highly valued. There might be secrets of how they could make their breakthrough inside.
"Why would the younger brother also makes trouble for you?" Lin Xiao was speechless.
"That must be because I'm too handsome!"
The others: "…"
Prince Lin Yan pointed at the door. "Let's wait a few meters away from the entrance so that we won't be late."
They all nodded.
"Hey! Listen to me more, you punk!"
Lin Xiao ignored Hu Fei as his gaze landed on the stone platform in front of him. There were various engravings carved on the stone, giving it both mysterious and yet beautiful appearance. The others only pa.s.sed a glance at it because they couldn't understand, but Lin Xiao was different.
It was written in ancient language and yet he felt as if he could understand every single sentence that was written there. The language was not dragon words that he had been studying and yet Lin Xiao felt that he could read the content out loud.
Why?
"That's the ancient language used by ancient beast like us to communicate with each other and also to arouse the power of the world. Different with the dragon language that's exclusive for dragons, other ancient creatures could use this language for their own benefit," Lin Hu explained.
"Naturally you're also included, but don't expect too much. While you have dragon power coursing through your body, arousing the ancient power with the ancient language is not easy matter. At most, you can only understand the language for now."
"I see."
For Lin Xiao, just being able to read it was already more than enough. He had dragon power that he could use to make up his inability to learn about engravings and so on. Being able to read this meant that he would be able to understand more about the dangers for many other places.
It was already a huge advantage.
He started to read.
'This is the Labyrinth of Truth
Stay true to your heart and follow the path designed for you
Only by then would you be able to reach your destination.'
"Hu Xiao, what are you doing?" Princess Lan Yi Hua noticed Lin Xiao paused and worried for a moment. Did he got hit by some attack and then couldn't move?
"Ah, I'm fine." Lin Xiao then changed to voice transmission as he told them the content of the engravings on the stone. The others also paused in their movement stiffly except Hu Fei since Lin Xiao didn't know how much should he trust that young man.
He might be Prince Lin Yan's sworn brother but Lin Xiao had only met him a few times for the past few weeks.
Princess Lan Yi Hua's eyes narrowed. She was part of the royal family so obviously she knew that this place was an underground labyrinth. There were a lot of people who were sent below and yet the number of those who could get out was extremely limited.
There were a lot of geniuses who died in this place.
"That's interesting," Prince Lin San's lips curled up to form a smile. "In that case, it's safe to say that we'll be encountering a labyrinth inside and that each of our path is different?"
"The royal family has the record that the place is labyrinth but no one who come back ever say what kind of place that is." Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her eyebrows. Her beautiful face showed her distress.
