Chapter 365: Trap

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hu!

A bone-chilling cold wind attacked. Ice and snow quickly melted after falling onto Qin Jue and the others.

The continent Qin Jue and the others had come to was actually snowing.

Everywhere one looked, one would see white snow. The whole world was exceptionally clean.

“Little Friend Qin, this is the Snow Wind Continent, the place closest to the Myriad Divine Court. It’s a vassal force of the Myriad Divine Court. It snows for more than 300 days a year, so basically all the cultivators who stay on this continent cultivate ice-attribute cultivation techniques.” Old Mo explained.

“I see.”

Qin Jue nodded indifferently.

“Wow, what is this?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Xuan had already fallen into the snow and rolled around excitedly.

Qin Jue :”…”

What was going on?

“Uh… Lu Xuan has never seen snow before, so she might be a little excited.”

The corner of Old Mo’s eyes twitched slightly in embarrassment.

Qin Jue was stunned. However, on second thought, he realized Old Mo’s small world had spring all year round. Lu Xuan had never left the small world, so it was normal for her to not have seen snow.

However… it still made him speechless to see an upper realm True God Stage expert who had never seen snow before.

“Hmph, why is she here too?”

Yun Xi sat on Qin Jue’s shoulder, very unhappy.

Originally, she thought that she would be able to escape from this deer with great difficulty. However, she never expected that it would follow her here. It could be imagined how depressed Yun Xi was right now.

“…”

“Um… why don’t we go to the city ahead and take a look?” In order to resolve the awkwardness, Old Mo spread out his spirit sense and suggested.

“Alright.” Qin Jue nodded in agreement.

Therefore, everyone soared into the sky and flew towards the city not far away.

Although it was called a city, it was actually more like a village. There were only a few hundred simple buildings, and they looked weak, as if they would collapse at any moment.

Qin Jue and the others had just landed outside the village when they were stopped by a figure.

“Stop, who are you? What are you doing?!”

The person who came was a tall, muscular, middle-aged man. He pointed the spear in his hand at Qin Jue with killing intent.

Qin Jue raised his eyes and glanced over, slightly surprised because the person had reached the Great Void Stage.

Although the other party was only at the first realm of the Great Void Stage, it was already very impressive for him to reach this level in such a small village.

One had to know that in some low-level dimensions in the Inner Realm, the first realm of the Great Void Stage could already become a Realmlord.

“Just passing by.”

Qin Jue casually cooked up a story.

“You’re not welcome here. Leave!” The middle-aged man said coldly.

“What’s wrong, Zhu Dong?”

At this moment, a white-haired old man walked out of the village. He didn’t look angry at all. With every step he took, Qin Jue was worried that he would die midway.

However, compared to the middle-aged man, the old man’s cultivation was clearly stronger. He had already stepped into the third realm of the Great Void Stage. However, perhaps because the end of his lifespan was approaching, regardless of whether it was his body or his spirit energy, the old man was quite weak. If they really fought, he might not be a match for a second realm Great Void Stage expert.

“Elder.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed. “These guys jumped out of nowhere and said they were passing by. I was worried that there was a trap, so I told them to leave.”

“I see.”

After hearing the middle-aged man’s description, the old man sized up Qin Jue and the others and smiled. “Let them in.”

“Elder!”

The middle-aged man was stunned. He was about to say something when the old man interrupted him with a wave of his hand. “We’ve already moved here to hide out. Do you think anyone out there would be interested in us?”

“…”

The middle-aged man opened his mouth but was immediately speechless.

“Moreover, these friends should not be cultivators of our Snow Wind Continent.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man finally noticed that the clothes of Qin Jue and the others were completely different from theirs. Moreover, they didn’t have the unique resonance of ice-attribute cultivation techniques. They indeed didn’t look like cultivators from the Snow Wind Continent.

However, because this continent was close to the Myriad Divine Court, there were countless cultivators from other places every day, so it was very normal for outsiders to appear.

“Everyone, come in.” The old man said gently.

Qin Jue :”…”

Qin Jue was just passing by and had never said he wanted to visit their village.

“Thank you.”

In the end, seeing that the old man trusted them so much, Qin Jue didn’t “refuse”.

Since even Qin Jue had chosen to tacitly agree, Old Mo naturally wouldn’t say anything. In any case, he just needed to follow Qin Jue.

The arrival of Qin Jue and the others quickly caused a huge uproar in the village. In an instant, men, women, old, and young all ran out to watch.

After all, besides Old Mo, Qin Jue, Killing Dao, and Lu Xuan’s appearance could be said to be flawless. It was difficult for them not to attract attention.

“…”

Under the old man’s lead, Qin Jue and the others quickly passed through the village and entered a relatively “luxurious” room. Even so, there was only a table inside.

“Everyone, rest for a moment. I have other things to deal with.”

With that said, the old man turned around and walked out of the room, as if he would be eaten if he were any slower.

“Something’s wrong.”

Old Mo raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “There’s an array formation in this room!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, the floor of the room suddenly lit up with lights that wrapped around Qin Jue and the others like tentacles!

At the same time, countless spirit energies instantly submerged the room, raising snow that filled the sky and shaking the heavens and the earth!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion lasted for a full ten minutes or so. Not only the room, but the entire village within a thousand kilometers had been razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind.

In the distance, the old man placed his hands behind his back and smiled. “Hahaha, stupid outsider cultivators. You’ll pay with your life for believing in others so easily.”

“Elder, will the storage rings be destroyed?”

The middle-aged man was filled with worry.

“Don’t worry, the array formation will not affect the storage rings. It’s not the first time.”

After a pause, the old man sighed. “I hope these guys have some good loot. Otherwise, we would have wasted so many Spirit Explosion Talismans.”

That’s right. From the beginning, the old man and the middle-aged man had only been acting. One pretended to be afraid while the other pretended to be nice. They had deliberately lured the cultivators coming and going into the village and then tricked them to the designated location to kill and snatch their loot!

Using this method, they did not need to work hard at all to obtain large amounts of resources to maintain their cultivation.

“What a pity for those two women. Tsk tsk.”

“And that youth, if only I could enjoy him.”

“…”

The people who were originally pretending to be villagers discussed animatedly, no longer having the simple appearance from before.

“Alright, the explosion has calmed down. Go collect the storage rings.” The old man ordered.

“Yes!”

Everyone immediately rushed to the room Qin Jue and the others were in. If they were lucky, the corpses might be unaffected and they could use them for pleasure.

However, soon, everyone’s expressions froze.

When all the snowflakes fell from the sky, the relatively “luxurious” room was still standing in place as if nothing had happened, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding ruined village.

“This…”

Everyone looked at each other and could see the fear in each other’s eyes.

“Retreat!”

The old man’s pupils constricted as he directly used a secret technique to escape!
