Chapter 1108 - 997: Leaving a Backdoor
"Hello, Senior Tang!" Seeing Tang Qi approach, Duan Gujin immediately stepped forward respectfully."Are you planning to ally with Quan Douhe, or are you going to oppose me?"
Tang Qi asked coldly.
"Of course, we choose to ally with Senior Tang. That Quan Douhe is no match for you at all! If he were that formidable, he would have already taken over the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace! Naturally, we follow Senior Tang. You didn't see it earlier, they purposely set us aside, they're guarding against us!"
Duan Gujin said.
"I saw it just now, it seems they are suspicious of you."
Tang Qi had previously investigated their group and noticed that Duan Gujin and other disciples from Ascension Academy were separated from the native Divine World martial artists.
Previously, Tang Qi thought Duan Gujin and others didn't get along with those Divine World natives.
Now, hearing Duan Gujin speak, he realized that they were not trusted by the Divine World natives.
His eyes flashed, deciding to have Duan Gujin and others follow his lead.
"Follow me, and you have to obey my orders!"
Tang Qi said seriously.
Duan Gujin pretended to be fearful, but a thought crossed his mind; he really wanted to know what kind of agreement Tang Qi had reached with those Exotic Realm Creatures that made them help him against Quan Douhe.
"Everyone, move forward, let's charge ahead!"
Tang Qi instructed Duan Gujin and others to follow him, then led them along with the Exotic Realm Creatures to the front of the Ten Thousand Ancient Gods Temple.
"Brother Duan, what should we do?"
Mo Yan secretly transmitted a question to Duan Gujin.
The development of events was entirely beyond his expectations, and seeing the Exotic Realm Creatures all around, he felt fear. He didn't want their group to be sold out by Tang Qi.
He knew the Exotic Realm Creatures considered Divine World martial artists as enemies; he surely wouldn't believe they were sincerely cooperating with Tang Qi.
"What should we do? We need to leave here alive, stay ready for combat at all times!"
Duan Gujin rolled his eyes at Mo Yan and said indifferently.
Mo Yan immediately understood what he had to do.
At that moment, Tang Qi suddenly told the group of Human Warriors beside him: "Don't worry, once you eliminate Quan Douhe, I'll send you out ahead of time! You'll leave here sooner than they will!"
Duan Gujin and others thanked Tang Qi immediately upon hearing his words.
Time ticked away little by little.
Moments later, Tang Qi led everyone to a corner of the Ten Thousand Ancient Divine Palace's wall, where he searched for a while and triggered a mechanism of the array at the corner.
After a while, a door appeared on the wall.
"Go inside!"
Tang Qi instructed Duan Gujin and others to enter.
At this point, Duan Gujin and the others could only go through that door.
A flash of light appeared before them, and they realized they were in a secret chamber.
Tang Qi said: "This is a safeguard I left behind in the Ten Thousand Ancient Divine Palace, we're now inside. The palace's internal structure cannot be altered, so be prepared. Soon, just follow my orders and act according to my instructions!"
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin and others responded.
Following Tang Qi's lead, they advanced a certain distance.
Then, Tang Qi instructed them to be quiet, forbidding any talk.
Duan Gujin and the others immediately quieted down.
At this moment, the group led by Tang Qi split into two teams, one was the Ascension Academy disciples led by Duan Gujin, and the other was the Exotic Realm Creatures.
These two teams were wary and guarded against each other, knowing they were just using each other.
Duan Gujin widened his eyes, carefully observing Tang Qi's actions.
After a while, he saw Tang Qi disabling some arrays overhead.
Moments later, he heard a sound coming from the arrays above.
Upon hearing the sound, Duan Gujin and others held their breath, carefully listening.
"Quan Douhe, why hasn't Tang Qi arrived here yet?"
Duan Gujin frowned, recognizing the speaker as Luo Ming.
"Don't be hasty. Luo Ming, if he wants to enter the Ten Thousand Ancient Gods Temple, he'll have to pass the eighty-one barriers with his followers. As the palace's creator, he should know better than I how formidable its arrays are. I suppose he's figuring a way to get in!"
Quan Douhe replied seriously.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin felt that Tang Qi was indeed extraordinary.
Then, they saw a scene unfold above, depicting a hall with several dozen people, each sitting cross-legged, recuperating.
In the hall sat a masked creature, with Luo Ming standing beside it.
This scene indicated to Duan Gujin and others that the masked creature was Quan Douhe.
"Quan Douhe is still the same!"
Next, they heard Tang Qi's dissatisfaction.
Feeling that Quan Douhe and those native Divine World martial artists were merely waiting for their arrival, Tang Qi shut off the image.
Then, he earnestly addressed each creature present: "Cooperate with me, once I kill Quan Douhe and avenge myself, I'll let you leave this Ten Thousand Ancient Divine Palace. If you don't cooperate, you'll be trapped here permanently! I'm sure you're all intelligent and know what to do."
"Understood!"
All the creatures present responded.
At this point, they had no other choice.
They had previously tried to leave this place, but failed.
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, realizing their group was caught in the struggle between Tang Qi and Quan Douhe, there was no better role than being their muscle.
"Everyone, prepare for combat. In a moment, I'll count to five, and you must also silently count to five. After counting, we'll appear near Quan Douhe. Together, we'll charge ahead to eliminate him! Your primary target is Quan Douhe, not those Divine World natives! Attack the masked Quan Douhe without engaging others unless the natives block you—then you should just repel them! Once you've eliminated Quan Douhe, I can regain control over this palace! Only then can I let you out!"
Tang Qi said seriously.
The creatures considered Tang Qi's words, seeing the sense in them.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin furrowed his brow slightly, thinking Tang Qi was quite unreliable.
