Chapter 1697: Chapter 1314: No Way Out, Stepping onto the No Return Path!
Whether we break through or not, live or die, everything, it can only go with the flow!
"You, go ahead, we’ll cover the rear!"
Almost in the next instant, Gu Changsheng’s heart had a decision, speaking solemnly to Elder Yuh and the others.
Elder Yuh heard this, glanced at his son’s corpse lying across the cave entrance, and immediately showed a flash of anger on his old face. Looking at Gu Changsheng, he spoke angrily, "Why should we go first? My son has already died on the No Return Path, otherwise, how could you discover the secret of the No Return Path? If anyone should go, it should be you leading the way!"
The path in the cave only allowed three people to walk side by side, Elder Yuh worried there might be other dangers on the No Return Path, unwilling to be the first to take the risk!
Elder Yuh thought this way, and so did the people from the Hidden World Clan!
No one wanted to be the vanguard!
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng let out a cold smile on his bright little face, speaking in a low voice, "Kindness taken as a donkey’s liver and lungs, I intended to protect you in front, but since you want to cover the rear, then, as you wish!"
With that, without another word, Gu Changsheng pulled his evildoer, grabbed Yu Lianyi, and walked towards the cave entrance where the No Return Path was!
Yu Lianyi was pulled by Gu Changsheng, she broke free slightly, took a step forward first, and turned her head to smile at Gu Changsheng, "I’ll go ahead, Gu Changsheng, if you find anything unusual about me, you must stop me!"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng showed a look of relief on his little face!
Yu Lianyi, this concubine-born daughter, truly had an eye for people and was exceptionally perceptive!
No Return Path, turning back means death, if that’s really all, Gu Changsheng wasn’t worried, but what Gu Changsheng feared was that there might be some mystery inside, trying every way to make them turn back!
No doubt, Gu Changsheng considered himself and his evildoer, to have the best willpower and martial arts among those present, and if truth be told, in a crisis, only they could be counted on to endure to the end!
Other roads were fine, those leading the way might be the first to encounter danger, yet the No Return Path was the opposite, those walking last would have to face whatever had been experienced ahead...
Yu Lianyi clearly detected Gu Changsheng’s intention, this was why she acted, why she said so!
Seeing Yu Lianyi’s small gesture of protecting her belly, seeing the trust brimming in her eyes, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt warmth fill his heart, he smiled at Yu Lianyi, nodded firmly!
Yu Lianyi, seeing this, without any hesitation, turned and walked up the steps!
Watched by Gu Changsheng, his hand hidden under the red sleeve tightened involuntarily, his phoenix eyes narrowed, his whole body instantly became alert, ready to act at any moment...
Stepping onto the steps, standing within the cave, facing the stone path and Yu Qingqiu’s corpse, Yu Lianyi’s face was expressionless, her figure paused slightly, but didn’t turn back, she called to Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu behind her, "I don’t feel anything unusual, you two come up!"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance, lifted their feet, ready to follow...
But, as they moved quickly, there were others even faster!
Almost the moment Yu Lianyi spoke, Elder Yuh and the others swarmed up the steps...
Even Yu Qingqiu and his servant’s corpses were pushed aside, no one looked back at them!
"Don’t turn back! Don’t turn back! Gu Changsheng, you’re covering the rear, you mustn’t let us turn back!" shouted a Hidden World Clan offspring, like he was trying to encourage himself, his eyes fixed ahead, but he called to those behind.
None of them were fools, Yu Lianyi’s words were clear, plus Gu Changsheng had just said they were taking kindness as a donkey’s liver and lungs, if they didn’t wake up to that, they’d be idiots!
Though they did not get along with Gu Changsheng, and could even be called enemies, yet they had to admit, when Gu Changsheng intended harm, he truly wouldn’t use such despicable means!
Since she said letting them go ahead was out of kindness, she would definitely not stab them in the back at a time like this!
To be precise, they had no choice left!
Gu Changsheng watched their movements, his brow furrowed imperceptibly, stepped forward, standing below the steps, he couldn’t help but warn in a low voice, "Three abreast, we’re at the rear, remember, no matter what, only move forward, don’t retreat, don’t turn back!"
As he said this, a crimson dagger appeared from Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, held ready, as he sternly shouted, "Go!"
Almost in the next instant, he and Zhou Mu held each other’s fingers tightly, and stepped onto the steps together!
The group moved in force, instantly filling the entire path!
"Don’t retreat, don’t turn back... don’t retreat, don’t turn back..."
"Don’t turn back! Don’t turn back..."
"..."
Gu Changsheng distinctly heard the sounds of self-hypnosis coming from the front, he ignored them, his phoenix eyes tightly fixed on the person walking at the very front...
The cave, dim and unclear, yet the walls polished so smoothly, seemed to emit a faint light on their own, not truly pitch dark, under this subtler light, speckled rays played on the stone walls, making the whole cave appear even more bizarre, and so, after advancing only a moment, Gu Changsheng, staring at the person in front, his phoenix eyes suddenly tightened...
