Chapter 751: The Third Path

"Ye Yuan, you're still young. Don't let these fox spirits drain your body dry!"

Pei Wenqiang was extremely displeased to see Ye Yuan actually accept these women.

Those courtesans had nearly cost him his life just now. If they had entered reincarnation, that would have been one thing, but what was the meaning of them following Ye Yuan now?

Moreover, Pei Wenqiang noticed that Ye Yuan and the yellow-robed woman later communicated using divine sense—there must be some hidden story.

But the presence of Jun Tianyu, like a thorn in his side, made him deeply wary, so he could only resort to sarcasm.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, everyone looked at Ye Yuan with strange eyes.

Even as soul bodies, these women were exceptionally beautiful. Was Ye Yuan trying to build a harem?

Ye Yuan glanced at him indifferently and said, "That's my business. What's it to you?"

"You! Hmph! Even if you want to revel all night, you still have to get out of this ancient cave dwelling first!" Pei Wenqiang snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to get out of this ancient cave dwelling, I advise you not to have any crooked ideas! Even if your brother is one of the Seven Holy Sons, even if he were the Heavenly King himself, it's useless here!"

These words choked Pei Wenqiang badly, leaving him completely deflated.

He had indeed been thinking of playing some tricks, but after Ye Yuan's remark, he didn't dare to move much.

Clearly, aside from his low cultivation level, Ye Yuan had an endless array of methods.

Without Ye Yuan, not to mention the charm technique just now, they wouldn't even have crossed the Weak Water River earlier!

Throughout the journey, their greatest reliance turned out to be this kid at the lowest Divine Travel realm.

"Ye Yuan, it seems there's no other way. Should we enter this main hall?" Ying Tianya stepped forward and asked.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you could sense your junior brother's location?"

Ying Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why, but outside the cave dwelling I could sense him. However, after entering the cave dwelling, it seems we've lost contact."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan fell into contemplation. If what Ying Tianya said was true, it seemed to reek of a sinister plot.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yuan said, "There's no other choice. Let's go in and find out."

Everyone arrived before the hall's doors, but Pei Wenqiang and the others were like startled birds, afraid to step forward.

This ancient cave dwelling was eerily strange; who knew if the doors had hidden mechanisms.

Ye Yuan went straight up and pushed the doors open, but nothing happened.

Seeing this, Pei Wenqiang and the others finally relaxed and followed Ye Yuan into the hall.

"Teleportation arrays!" As soon as they entered the hall, someone immediately exclaimed.

There was nothing else in the hall except three teleportation arrays!

Just then, a faint shadow coalesced.

"All of you who have come here have passed the previous trials. You are the fated ones of me, Xie Lingzi! My lifespan is exhausted, but I have found no successor, which I regret deeply. So before my death, I have prepared two paths for you. The teleportation array on the left contains three trials I have set. Those who pass can inherit my legacy. All my life's learning and treasures lie beyond that array. If you can pass the trials, all of it is yours. The teleportation array on the right leads to the outside world. Those unwilling to accept the trials may leave on their own." The shadow said calmly.

The shadow was an old man in a Daoist robe, with a flowing white beard and an immortal air, yet he called himself Xie Lingzi, which was quite surprising.

Clearly, Xie Lingzi was the master of this ancient cave dwelling.

Xie Lingzi's words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"So the Weak Water River and the courtesans on the square were all trials!"

"Judging by the situation, this Xie Lingzi is at least at the Dao Profound realm! If we can inherit his legacy, we'll soar to great heights!"

"Heh, inherit his legacy? You're overthinking it! The first two trials were already that formidable. If we go in and take the trials, isn't that just asking for death?"

"Exactly, this place is so eerie. Why stay? Better to keep our lives!"

The martial artists quickly split into two factions: one wanted to enter the left teleportation array, the other wanted to enter the right one and leave directly.

For these martial artists, the legacy of a Dao Profound realm expert was extremely tempting!

After all, the master of the Red Cloud Holy Land was only at the first level of the Dao Profound realm.

If they could inherit Xie Lingzi's legacy, they would truly leap over the dragon's gate.

Thus, most martial artists leaned toward the left teleportation array.

"Master Ye, this... which way should we go?" Ying Tianya now followed Ye Yuan's every word.

If anyone here had the most say, it was undoubtedly Ye Yuan.

Pei Wenqiang didn't speak, but when he heard Ying Tianya's question, his ears perked up involuntarily, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan would say.

Ye Yuan, however, said, "Actually, I want to know what would happen if we choose neither."

"Uh, neither? But it seems there's no other way out of this hall!" Ying Tianya said.

Before Ye Yuan could speak, He Shuming laughed loudly and said, "Choosing neither naturally means there is a third path!"

Saying this, he bypassed the two teleportation arrays and came to an octagonal table at the back of the hall.

His action immediately drew everyone's attention, and they became curious about what He Shuming was going to do.

He Shuming slightly moved one of the candlesticks on the octagonal table, and a surprising scene unfolded before everyone's eyes!

Surging Yuan power quickly filled the entire hall. Under the gaze of the crowd, a third teleportation array appeared behind the other two!

"What! There's another teleportation array! It was hidden so deep! So the first two arrays were both traps!"

"Alchemist He is indeed a seventh-rank array master, able to find this hidden teleportation array! If we had entered either of the other two, we would have been doomed!"

"Close call! Close call! I was almost fooled by Xie Lingzi's talk just now!"

Seeing the third teleportation array, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky.

With the third array so well hidden, it was obvious that the first two were traps.

Xie Lingzi's words sounded nice, but thinking back, his intentions were despicable!

He Shuming looked at Ye Yuan triumphantly, clearly showing off.

Ever since he met Ye Yuan, he had been completely overshadowed by him.

And just now, while everyone was discussing which teleportation array to enter, he noticed that the candlestick seemed a bit unusual.
