Chapter 4871: 5.0623 Path of Death 1

Duo Shanmei jumped up and shouted, "Young Master Murong, you can't just casually make false accusations!"

Seeing Murong Yan's gaze fall upon her, Duo Shanmei inexplicably felt a pang of guilt. "Yes, yes, about a year ago, an elder from my clan, in a moment of hot-headed foolishness, trespassed deep into the Sacred Lotus Realm."

"But hasn't he already realized his mistake? And wasn't he punished by the Sacred Realm, never to emerge from it again? Isn't that right?"

"Heh," Murong Fei couldn't help but sneer. "Do you think he didn't want to come out? He just didn't have the ability to come out and cause trouble anymore."

Murong Yan also nodded and said, "It was precisely because of him that the path behind the Sacred Gate of the Sacred Lotus Realm was sealed at that time."

"Even now, it might not have been unsealed, right?"

"It's unsealed," Young Master Qin Er interjected coldly, gently pushing out a palm with his left hand.

As ripples of power silently spread through the air, two massive, heavy vermilion-red gilded bronze gates swung open in response, from which an endless stream of white mist billowed out, sweeping towards the people outside the gate.

"Qiao Qiao, it seems the five gilded bronze keys I gave you earlier aren't much use anymore," Young Master Qin Da said with a low chuckle.

This Sacred Gate opened with a mere push; what need for keys? What a waste of effort before...

Qiao Mu pulled out five gilded bronze keys from her pocket, looked at them thoughtfully, and then suddenly tossed them out.

The five gilded bronze keys formed a circle, then swiftly merged into a single bronze key in mid-air, falling into Qiao Mu's hand.

The little poker face, with a cold expression, put the key into her pocket without any verbal indication.

Seeing her silence, everyone felt an itchy desire to ask questions.

Qiao Mu led the Mu family members, walking first through the pile of corpses, her expression grim.

Getting closer, and after a few observations, Qiao Mu realized that the bones and meridians of these people on the ground were completely shattered by an unknown assailant; they had died swiftly and decisively.

In other words, during the confrontation, almost instantly, these people on the ground were killed in one blow by their opponent.

Everyone followed the flowing thick mist into the Sacred Gate. Their vision immediately plunged into a vast expanse of mist, making it impossible to see the people and objects around them.

Several screams echoed from nearby.

The noble family disciples immediately panicked, holding their swords across their chests, crying out in fear, "There's an ambush in this place! Something is dragging them, dragging them away..."

After several "splash, splash" sounds of water.

Murong Fei hastily activated her spiritual sense, probing the surroundings.

It was better not to look; looking startled her.

It turned out they were walking on a path paved with pebbles, only about a meter wide, with dark, bottomless deep pools on both sides.

From time to time, a giant tail would churn out of the deep pools, coiling around a person and directly dragging them into the depths of the pool.

This giant tail would appear in the deep pool on the left, then churn out from the water on the right.

Everyone quickly rushed forward together.

Unexpectedly, the rushing crowd seemed to have angered the ferocious beast. A spray of cold pool water splashed down on everyone's heads.

A head the size of a millstone emerged from the pool, its small eyes eerily staring at everyone.

A long, giant tail with countless barbs coiled out, striking towards the crowd on the bank.

Someone screamed, "It's a Sacred Beast Fish Dragon."
