Chapter 439 - 243: 2 Keys_2
As the senior sister among the group, the woman finally realized the problem and stopped the last youth from going out, preventing total annihilation.
“Now it’s best for us to stay put and wait for our sect to send people to rescue us,” the woman said solemnly.
After saying this, she ignored the youth and continued to study the chessboard, believing that the key to escaping might be on it.
Time passed, and it was impossible to tell how long it had been.
Suddenly, there were faint footsteps in the dead silent space.
“Someone’s coming!”
Hearing the sound, the woman immediately stopped studying the chessboard and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a young man slowly walking towards her.
“Only one person?” Seeing Su Nan alone, the woman’s heart sank.
When she saw Su Nan’s unfamiliar face, her expression tightened even more.
“Who are you?”
The woman questioned him; in this dangerous space, encountering an unfamiliar person was not something anyone could take lightly.
“You must be Liu Qing’er, right?” Su Nan looked at the woman and said.
“You know me? Is our sect the one who sent you?” Upon hearing Su Nan call her name, Liu Qing’er let out a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, since Su Nan knew her, he must have come to save her.
Su Nan shook his head and said, “I’m not fromTaixu Sect, and I wasn’t sent by your sect either.”
“You’re not from our sect?” Hearing Su Nan’s words, Liu Qing’er was greatly disappointed, and then felt puzzled, wondering why someone who neither knew her nor belonged to Taixu Sect would come here to find her.
Before she had time to think more, Liu Qing’er immediately said, “Do not come near. Once you enter this Stone Pavilion, you will not be able to leave. Notify Taixu Sect, only they can save us.”
“Don’t worry, since I could come here, I naturally have a way to save you.” Su Nan disregarded her concerns and walked straight into the Stone Pavilion.
Seeing Su Nan approaching, Liu Qing’er wanted to say something but considering her current situation, she remained quiet.
Now, she just hoped that Su Nan really had the ability to save them.
Su Nan came to the Stone Pavilion and said, “I can take you out of here, but I need your cooperation.”
“How do you want us to cooperate with you?” asked the youth who had not spoken until now, excitedly and quickly.
“This is the Cosmic Ring. You need to enter it temporarily.” Su Nan took out the Cosmic Ring.
He had the Across the Heavens Shift, so the power of the Stone Pavilion couldn’t hold him, but to save the two people, he could only let them enter the Cosmic Ring.
There was nothing in the Cosmic Ring now; the Great Princess and the Dragon Turtle had been transferred to the Mountain and Water Gourd, which was a more suitable place for people to stay.
“A Cosmic Ring, how do you have such a treasure?” Liu Qing’er was amazed and looked at Su Nan incredulously.
A Cosmic Ring was not something ordinary; even the King-level Elders in her sect did not have one. She couldn’t understand how Su Nan, a Spirit Level martial artist, could have such an item.
“Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. Now, if you want to leave, just cooperate with me.” Su Nan’s voice became slightly heavy.
Actually, he could have just given her the item that Han Fu had entrusted to him and completed the task without having to save Liu Qing’er.
But since he had come all the way here, he didn’t mind helping them out.
Liu Qing’er frowned, but eventually cooperated with Su Nan and entered the Cosmic Ring.
Afterward, Su Nan used the Across the Heavens Shift and easily moved out of the Stone Pavilion.
Originally, he thought of using the Across the Heavens Shift to try to enter those palaces; unfortunately, his foreknowledge indicated that he could enter the palace successfully, but it would also mean death.
A few minutes later.
Outside Old Horse Lake, Su Nan let Liu Qing’er and the young man out.
“We made it! We really made it!”
Seeing the familiar lake surface, the youth was overjoyed, his eyes filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe.
“We actually made it out?” Liu Qing’er looked at Su Nan with amazement and disbelief in her eyes.
Considering that Su Nan’s strength seemed to be only at the Spirit Level, she couldn’t understand how he had done it.
Once they were sure they were safe, Liu Qing’er finally thought of another question and asked immediately, “You’re not from our sect, why did you come to save us? How do you know my name?”
“There’s a person named Han Fu who asked me to give you this item.” Su Nan took out the ring Han Fu had given him.
“Elder Brother Han? Elder Brother Han isn’t dead? Where is he?” Upon hearing Su Nan’s words, Liu Qing’er immediately became agitated and asked anxiously.
“He was in Kun Tian Prison before, but I don’t know if he’s alive now.” Su Nan didn’t elaborate and continued, “He promised me that he would give me one of the strange treasures he got in his early years as a reward.”
Liu Qing’er took the storage ring, but did not open it immediately, instead she said coldly, “Kun Tian Prison? What kind of place is that? How is Han Fu now?”
Liu Qing’er clearly hadn’t heard of Kun Tian Prison, staring at Su Nan, as if she wanted to force Su Nan to reveal all the information.
Just as Liu Qing’er took the Storage Ring, a task completion prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Fulfill Han Fu’s request”, and 45 Demon Power Points have been issued.]
[Current available Demon Power: 156 points]
He still needed four more demon power points, just enough to upgrade a bloodline to Great Perfection.
Ignoring the Demon Power, Su Nan looked at Liu Qing’er, his face slightly sinking.
He didn’t expect Liu Qing’er to be so ungrateful. Instead of thanking him for rescuing her, she questioned him now.
Naturally, Su Nan wouldn’t indulge Liu Qing’er and said indifferently: “If I can save you, I can send you back.”
Liu Qing’er realized her attitude and took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, I just want to know where Han Fu is.”
Su Nan said, “If you want to know about Kun Tian Prison, search it yourself. Now open the Storage Ring and give me my things.”
Liu Qing’er hesitated slightly, but eventually opened the Storage Ring using the specific method.
As soon as the Storage Ring opened, Su Nan did not give Liu Qing’er a chance to look, stretched out his hand to take the Storage Ring back.
Liu Qing’er noticed Su Nan’s intention and tried to stop him.
But how could she stop Su Nan? In an instant, she felt her mind go blank and lost consciousness.
By the time she regained her consciousness, the Storage Ring had been returned to her by Su Nan, who was holding a white, palm-sized key in his hand.
“Kun Tian Prison is not something you can handle, I advise you to give up.”
Su Nan said and left without looking back, leaving a stunned Liu Qing’er behind.
“Senior sister Liu, what’s wrong?” The young man on the side anxiously asked.
Liu Qing’er snapped out of it and immediately asked, “How long did I just lose consciousness for?”
“As soon as that person took the Storage Ring from your hand, you stood in place, for about three breaths.”
“Three breaths!” Liu Qing’er’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and she felt a chill down her spine.
How could she lose consciousness for as long as three breaths under someone’s Divine Soul Attack?
“Who is he?” Looking in the direction Su Nan left, Liu Qing’er was filled with doubt and astonishment.
[Heavenly Gate Key: Collecting 98 Heavenly Gate Keys can activate the Heavenly Gate.]
“It’s this kind of thing!”
Su Nan was surprised and flipped his hand, taking out another identical key.
It was the reward from the previous Survival Challenge.
He originally thought these things were like other items, belonging to the game props, but he didn’t expect to encounter them again this time.
“What kind of place is the Heavenly Gate, after all?”
” I wonder if I can still get the Heavenly Gate Key after this Human Crisis Task ends?”
Su Nan was curious and couldn’t help but want to visit Tiangong Pavilion.
Unfortunately, this was far from the Imperial City. If he returned now, it would take a day’s time back and forth, and he had no time to waste.
He left his avatar in Jin Shu Town, while his main body returned to Qian Shou Town.
Compared to yesterday, there were more players in Qian Shou Town today, and there were even many martial artists patrolling near Qian Shou Town.
If one stood at a high place and looked at the distant view of Qian Shou Town, they would see that dozens of miles from Qian Shou Town, the boundary of Zhongtian County was filled with many demons waiting.
They were waiting for the moment when the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition power disappeared.
“Everything is almost ready. I’m just waiting for the task to start. I wonder how many contributions I can get this time.” Su Nan looked at the items in the Contribution Mall, his eyes full of anticipation.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was 11pm in the real world, and on the panel, the task countdown had only one hour left.
