Chapter 237 The Mystery Under The Cliff (Part Two)
Yes. If you don't believe it, you can go and just check it yourself, said the Purple Flaming Lion King.
The Chief Elder, Elder Guan and Steward Meng began to check what was under the cliff with their spiritual sense. They wanted
to make sure what was lying under the cliff before they continued the journey.
Austin, however, didn't dare to do so. After all, the Chief Elder, Elder Guan, Steward Meng, and the two diabolic beasts were all
at the Mysterious Realm. He might be exposed if he used the spiritual sense. He learned to be mindful to every other powerful
person near him. He could not afford to draw suspicion around him.
After a while, the three cultivators of the Medicine Sect nodded in satisfaction. They already checked what was under the cliff.
"Let's jump off and break the defensive array to the cave," said the Chief Elder as he took the initiative to jump off the cliff. Elder
Guan, Steward Meng, and the two diabolic beasts followed him.
The disciples of the Medicine Sect looked each other in disbelief. The white mist swirled and waved under the cliff. A strong wind
was whistling like a howling wolf. An icy vapor made them shiver to the bones. It seemed like a bottomless abyss to them.
The Chief Elder, Elder Guan, Steward Meng, and the two diabolic beasts were all at the Mysterious Realm, and they were
capable to float in the air. They didn't care about the depth of the land. But the strongest one among these disciples had only
reached the Earth Realm. None of them dared to jump off the cliff. They knew exactly that nobody would be alive if one of them
did so.
They started to panic and be hesitant, not knowing what to do.
"Jump off the cliff! You won't get hurt!"
Elder Guan's voice came from under the thick mist.
Upon hearing that, the disciples felt much relieved. They trusted Elder Guan so much that they even risked their lives.
Several bold disciples first jumped off the cliff. Austin was one of them.
Austin knew that Elder Guan would by no means have more than a hundred disciples be killed for no reason. There must be
something under the cliff.
Since some of them had taken the lead, the rest summoned up their courage and jumped off as well. They were not as bold as
many, but they were capable to face their fears.
When Austin jumped off, he started to fall at high speed. The thick mist split under him, and the wind howled in his ears. He felt
anxious and closed his eyes as he was falling continuously in the air.
After a few breaths, he found that he already landed on the ground.
He looked around and found himself on a spacious basalt rock square, the size of which was four times as a football field.
Austin guessed that the rock square was an overhang of platform of the mountain.
The Chief Elder, Elder Guan, and Steward Meng looked at the disciples who had first jumped off the cliff, and nodded in
satisfaction. They followed Elder Guan's instruction without hesitation, which meant they were bold and extremely loyal to him.
These disciples were overwhelmed by an unexpected favor when they saw the satisfied smile on the faces of the Chief Elder,
Elder Guan, Steward Meng.
When Austin realized everything, he pretended that he was thrilled. After all, he was now Walker.
The rest of the disciples finally reached the square, and began to look around out of curiosity. Some stayed where they were as
they waited for the next instructions. Some wandered off a few steps as they were looking around the area.
Even though the cliff was surrounded by the thick mist, strangely, there was no mist on this square, as if the mist didn't dare to
intrude into the square. Most of the disciples were amazed as they were looking at it.
They could clearly see what was on the square.
Six giant stone pillars were standing in the middle of the square according to specific arrangement. The pillars were mottled, full
of dust. They must have been here for a very long time.
Each pillar was so big that it could only be surrounded by at least seven people hand in hand. The disciples were stunned by the
structure.
The Chief Elder, Elder Guan, Steward Meng and Austin immediately realized that the key to break the defensive array of the
Cloud Cave lay in the six pillars.
There was nothing except for the six stone pillars on the large square. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground—no
pebbles, branches or leaves. Obviously, they could only enter the cave by solving the mysterious pillars.
"I believe that we can enter the cave by solving these pillars. Many times, I've tried to attack the pillars with vital energy force, but
it didn't work. Sometimes, the pillars even struck back," said the Purple Flaming Lion King in a cold voice. While saying this, he
fixed his eyes upon the array expert, who was in grey. He was Master Yuan.
The six pillars were arranged according to certain rules, and this must be some kind of array. The Purple Flaming Lion King was
eager to know whether Master Yuan could solve the problem. After all, he was a level 3 array expert.
Austin stood there, staring at the six pillars. He knew little about arrays, and he failed to figure out what was wrong with the
pillars. In his eyes, these pillars were very large, and that was all. He could not find anything extraordinary to these aside from its
physical appearance.
There was no mysterious pattern engraved in the pillars. The pillars were full of bumps and hollows because of their old ages.
This must be another sign that these pillars were surely there a long time ago.
Austin sighed with profound resignation, as he knew next to nothing about arrays. 'If Fanny's grandpa were here, he would figure
out how to break the array, ' he thought. Then he suddenly realized that he had not seen Fanny for a while. Maybe she was
punished by her grandpa for her inappropriate gestures.
While Austin was in his own thoughts, Master Yuan gently walked towards the pillars.
He walked around the fix pillars to check their arrangement. Then he furrowed his eyebrows, lost in thought.
After a while, he took out more than ten array flags and threw them out one after another. Some landed on the ground around
the pillars, the others in the middle of the pillars.
Every time an array flag landed on the ground, the surrounding space twisted a little, and the array flag disappeared in the air, as
if there was nothing threw in there.
When all the array flags disappeared, there was a low pressure accumulated in the air around the six pillars. Everyone was
stunned as they were looking at it. They held their breaths as they waited to see what would happen next.
