Chapter 258 Trapped
At the top of the mountain.
When Yun Chen and others came over, they saw an altar that was half a meter high and several dozen meters wide.
The altar is cone-shaped, with a flame in the center and ancient patterns carved around it, which looks quite magical.
Gu Hong held Zhao Xiruo and stood on the altar, looking at the people who came with a playful look on his face.
"Gu Hong, what are you going to do? Let her go."
Yun Chen looked at Gu Hong on the altar, his face as gloomy as water, and a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He was really panicked at this moment.
"Of course, I'll take her back to the Secret Realm of Cultivation."
There was a hint of ferocity in the corner of Gu Hong's mouth.
"Gu Hong, I advise you to release him, so as not to bring trouble to your Gu family."
The old man from the Ying family looked downcast, his eyes flickered, and he spoke coldly.
The man in black also had a dangerous look in his eyes. He said, "Release the person and leave the key. I can let you return to the secret realm of cultivation."
"Hahahaha! Do you think I'll still believe you? I remember you guys lied to me like this back then, right?"
Gu Hong sneered and looked at them with a mocking expression.
Back then, he believed the conditions of these people and was almost killed by them.
If he hadn't kept a trick up his sleeve and arranged a substitute, he would have died that year.
"No, they lied to you, but I won't lie to you. As long as you promise to let her go, I promise they won't embarrass you. I can swear an oath to the heavens."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen quickly spoke, his tone extremely sincere.
"is it?"
Gu Hong sneered and pinched Zhao Xiruo's neck with one hand.
"Unfortunately, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."
"Yes, yes, yes, I have it." Yun Chen spoke quickly.
Gu Hong blinked and looked at him with interest.
Yun Chen quickly said, "One of the keys you got is fake. If you let her go, I can give you the real key."
Gu Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then he was filled with rage.
"You fool me?"
"If you let her go, I'll give you the real key."
Yun Chen said again.
"Humph."
Gu Hong snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he was about to strangle Zhao Xiruo's neck.
"Don't!"
At this moment, Yun Chen shouted loudly.
"If you dare to touch her, I will make you pay a heavy price, and you will never get the key in your life."
His face was extremely cold, and he exuded a strong murderous aura, his eyes fixed on Gu Hong.
He wasn't saying this as a threat, he was serious.
Gu Hong was startled when he heard this, his expression uncertain, but he finally let go of her hand and said, "Okay, I believe you, hand over the key."
"Let him go first." Yun Chen insisted.
Gu Hong sneered and then pinched Zhao Xiruo's neck again.
"You have no right to bargain with me. Hand over the key, or I will crush her to death right now."
"no, do not want……"
Zhao Xiruo shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face.
Looking at Zhao Xiruo's appearance, Yun Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he blamed himself.
It’s all my fault for being too conceited and bringing trouble upon my wife.
"Don't be afraid, I will save you."
A determination flashed in Yun Chen's eyes, and then he turned to look at Qin Yuelan.
"Aunt Qin, give me the key to the Qin family."
Qin Yuelan was stunned when she heard this, while the faces of the Ying family members changed drastically.
"You can't hand it over. Compared to the death of one person and the entire secular world, which is more important? Think carefully and don't forget the teachings of the Qin family ancestors."
The old man from the Ying family spoke in a deep voice, his eyes cold and ruthless.
Yun Chen became angry upon hearing this.
"All of you shut up, what does the life and death of other people in the secular world have to do with me? All of you dead are not as good as a hair of hers."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Yuelan, his eyes red, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the key."
Qin Yuelan nodded, ignoring the angry looks of the people from the Ying family, and handed the key directly to Yun Chen.
The reason why she came the latest was that she had been looking for the key. It was not until this morning that she got the location of the key from Qin Feng and brought it with her.
"Qin Yuelan, have you forgotten the Qin family's ancestral precepts? You are a sinner of the Qin family and a sinner of the entire secular world." The old man Yingjia roared.
Qin Yuelan shrugged and ignored them.
She knew the importance of the key, but the key belonged to her best friend's daughter, Yun Chen's wife. How could she not care?
"Hurry...! Give me the key."
When Gu Hong saw the key in Yun Chen's hand, greed suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen took a deep breath, then slowly handed the key to Gu Hong.
Just as the key touched Gu Hong's palm, Yun Chen suddenly attacked.
"Oh!"
He raised his right hand suddenly, and as his right arm swung, a terrifying force burst out and hit Gu Hong's chest heavily.
Before Gu Hong could react, he pulled Zhao Xiruo up and quickly ran towards the altar.
"Want to leave? Can you leave?"
Gu Hong reacted quickly, stomping his feet on the ground. He turned into a phantom and quickly disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he appeared behind Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo.
Yun Chen's face changed slightly, and he turned around to fight back, but at this moment... Yibian suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, a brilliant light burst out from the altar, and then countless runes appeared on the altar, forming a formation that covered the four directions of space.
"The space is locked?"
Yun Chen's face looked ugly. He didn't care about Gu Hong who was chasing him. He wanted to take Zhao Xiruo away from the altar.
As a result, as soon as he reached the edge of the altar, he was bounced back by a white curtain wall.
"Ha ha ha ha……!"
Seeing this scene, Gu Hong stopped chasing and stopped where he was, watching the two of them and laughing.
But the others' faces changed drastically.
"Yun Chen!"
“Ruoruo——!”
Ye Wuxin and others quickly took action, trying to break the curtain wall.
But no matter how they attacked, the curtain wall did not move at all and could not be shaken at all.
"It's no use, they can't get out."
The old man from the Ying family twitched his lips. His expression was extremely ugly.
They had no control over the life and death of Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo, but the key was still inside...
"What's going on? How could this happen?" Mu Wanqiu asked anxiously.
The black-clad man from the winner's house frowned and explained, "This is a breach in the barrier. To prevent practitioners from entering the secular world, a powerful force erected a barrier between the secret realm and the secular world in ancient times. Countless emperors later added seals to ensure that no more practitioners can enter the secular world."
"But because so much time has passed, these barriers have now developed gaps. Since the barrier energy has not been exhausted, it will continue to repair the gaps. Therefore... they are trapped in the gaps."
After listening to his explanation, Ye Wuxin and others' faces suddenly turned ugly.
"Now what?"
Qin Yuelan asked.
Nothing must happen to Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo.
"There is only one way." The man in black was silent for a few seconds and then spoke.
"What method?" Ye Wuxin and others looked at him in unison.
The man in black had a grim expression on his face and said in a deep voice, "Use the key to open the barrier, enter the realm of cultivation, and then return through the boundary marker."
