Chapter 4453: 5.0205 Self-Inflicted

At this moment, no one dared to step forward. They all consciously retreated several steps, moving far away from the light circle, silently observing.

"Huh? That light circle seems to be constantly shrinking," An Wushuang watched in surprise as the circular light circle gently floated with the seawater.

The light circle was indeed contracting quickly. At this rate, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Tianji Secret Realm entrance would disappear.

Clearly, the other cultivators had also noticed this problem.

Two aristocratic family disciples couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "This entrance is about to close! What should we do now?"

"Let's risk it."

"How do we risk it?" Someone widened their eyes in shock, turning to look at the aristocratic family disciple who spoke. "Are you crazy?"

If life was lost, then truly everything was lost.

What was the point of talking about cultivation, or wanting secret realm treasures? Once a person died, all these things became worthless.

"Are you willing to give up?" The young man clenched his fist and shouted furiously, "We're already at the door. We should at least give it a try, right?"

"Perhaps those two, they just had bad luck?"

Are you kidding? Two people consecutively being shredded in the light circle, was that all just bad luck?

Even if they were incredibly daring, they couldn't disregard their own lives and choose this moment to continue rushing to their deaths.

"If you want to go, go yourselves."

"Fortune favors the bold. Alright, since none of you are going, I'll go." The young aristocratic family man clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and suddenly sprinted towards the secret realm entrance.

Qiao Mu and her group all moved aside, watching with cold indifference.

The young man, in a burst of determination, rushed to the secret realm entrance but abruptly stopped, halting beside the light circle.

Seeing this, others couldn't help but mock him, "Oh, you spoke so boldly, but in the end, you still chickened out."

Qiao Mu remained silent, her gaze fixed on the runes slowly pulsating above the light circle. She was concentrating on studying them when her body suddenly tensed, instinctively feeling a sense of danger approaching.

Mo Lian's reaction was even quicker. He pulled Qiao Mu into his embrace and, with a backhand, pushed out with a palm.

A young man in black combat attire was sent flying by the palm wind, stumbling and rushing forward.

This person completely lost control of his body and let out a heartbreaking scream amidst cries of surprise.

The young man standing by the light circle, hearing the scream, turned to look and was drenched in a cold sweat.

This person was rushing straight towards him. He quickly dodged, and then heard a splash. The person immediately fell into the seawater, directly stepping into the light circle.

Under everyone's gaze, the unfortunate soul was, without surprise, shredded into pieces by the secret realm entrance, dying on the spot.

"Senior Brother Zhou," Mu Xiaoxue cried out mournfully, covering her lips with her hand, her gaze turning to Qiao Mu's side in shock, her face full of disbelief.

It was as if Qiao Mu had committed some heinous crime that she couldn't comprehend.

"Miss Mu, what's so surprising about this?" Princess Wushuang couldn't help but scoff. "Your Senior Brother Zhou secretly made a move, trying to push my sister-in-law, and ended up flying out himself."

"Isn't this exactly what we call karma? Good and evil are eventually repaid."

"Why does this young lady speak such words?" Mu Xiaoxue trembled slightly, her voice somewhat choked. "Senior Brother Zhou, he... he... when did he try to push the Crown Princess? He's already dead, you... don't slander him!"
