Chapter 590: Isolated Island (3)
Chapter 590: Isolated Island (3)
Just as the two were about to speak, the participant who had fainted on the ground was dragged away. Seeing this, Zhou Feng quickly leaned close to Minglu's ear and whispered, "Go and see where this person will be taken..."
Minglu perked up, exchanged a glance with Zhou Feng, nodded slightly, and then followed behind the guards escorting them.
Zhou Feng glanced at the participants being dragged away, his eyes flickering slightly. Then, as if nothing had happened, he said to the servant beside him, "This island looks so big, may I take a look around?"
"Of course, Mr. Wu. However, the north side is the ward area. To avoid causing you any unnecessary trouble, please do not go near it. The south side is your villa area, which has restaurants, entertainment venues, and shopping malls—you can enjoy yourself to the fullest..."
……
After Fu Lingchen left the ward, Pei Yun lay alone in bed. Apart from a nurse changing her IV drip once, she remained still until 6 p.m. when Fu Lingchen pushed the food cart back in.
"What's the situation outside?" Pei Yun was in a slightly better mood than in the morning, and she quickly sat up to ask.
"I encountered members of other teams. After I delivered lunch, two members of another team attacked me. Just now, I encountered another member of another team. He looked me over for a moment but didn't attack me. These three, like us, have their spiritual power and consciousness sealed..."
Fu Lingchen spoke rapidly, "...I've discovered that the people here seem difficult to deal with. We're no different from ordinary people now, so we might not be able to handle them. Those two wanted to eliminate me today, but they were actually stopped by ordinary people in this world..."
"It seems that our current identity must conform to this world..."
"Rules!" Pei Yun interjected. "This 'Trial Gate' must be a treasure crafted by Ancestor Qin Meng. This trial mission is very similar to the one I encountered when I entered the Void Domain Secret Realm. The most important aspect of the trials set up by Ancestor Qin Meng is the rules..."
The two only spoke for less than ten minutes when the nurse came in again. This time, Fu Lingchen did not hesitate. He and Pei Yun exchanged a silent glance for a moment, and then obediently pushed the food cart away.
Pei Yun was alone in the ward again. She looked up at the clock on the opposite wall, pondering the information Fu Lingchen had just provided.
She knew that the trial set by Ancestor Qin Meng would not leave her here to wait for the end indefinitely; there would definitely be a breakthrough.
Sure enough, at midnight, Pei Yun suddenly felt a trace of spiritual energy within her body. She jolted awake, opened her eyes, and a bright light flashed in them.
My spiritual power and divine consciousness have returned!
However, her spiritual power and divine sense were still 95% sealed at the moment. In her current state, she was only at the Qi Refining level, but that was enough for her to leave the ward.
Pei Yun couldn't wait to get up and go to the door of the ward. At this moment, she discovered that a talisman had been placed in her body, which trapped her in the ward and prevented her from leaving.
Without saying a word, Pei Yun channeled his spiritual power to break through the talisman, and the talisman quickly vanished as if it had been set on fire.
She stepped out of the ward and began to investigate with her divine sense.
Pei Yun's divine soul was powerful. Even with 95% of her cultivation sealed, she used her divine sense to survey the surrounding environment of the entire isolated island in just a short time.
She noticed that the other twenty-four participants who had entered had also begun to move. It seemed that they had all realized that their spiritual power and consciousness had been restored. However, these people did not have a soul as strong as Pei Yun's, and they were all running around looking for their companions.
Besides Pei Yun, there were four other people in the building, one of whom was Fu Lingchen, who was on the basement level and was heading towards Pei Yun's ward.
Pei Yun also found the other three members of their team, but none of them were in this building.
"Pei Yun!" Fu Lingchen approached Pei Yun with a joyful expression. "My strength has recovered by half, but I still can't open my storage artifact. Have you found Zhou Feng and the other two?"
“Found it, let’s meet up first, let’s go…” Pei Yun and Fu Lingchen originally wanted to jump out of the window in the corridor, but they found that the entire building was shrouded in a huge sealing array.
"Take the elevator down." The two could only take the elevator to the first floor entrance.
"Can you leave this building during the day?" Pei Yun asked.
Fu Lingchen shook his head: "I didn't see any sealing formation in this building during the day, but when I tried to leave, the security guards at the entrance stopped me. I couldn't get out at all. Except for mealtimes when I could go to the various wards, I was almost always confined to the basement of this building..."
As the two were talking, the other three participants in the building arrived one after another at the entrance on the first floor. Two of them were the man and woman who attacked Fu Lingchen during the day, and the other was someone Fu Lingchen had encountered before.
The five men split into three groups, warily observing each other. Fu Lingchen sneered at the two men who had attacked him earlier, and those two men's faces remained hostile.
"Still want to fight?! Now I have allies, dare to fight again?"
"Hmph! Do you think we're afraid of you!"
At this moment, Xu Shen, the middle-aged man who was alone, spoke up: "Everyone, the trial has only just begun. It's not time for a life-or-death struggle yet. Why don't we work together to break through this sealing formation and find our companions..."
The other two sides each had two people, while he was alone. If these two forces joined forces to eliminate him first, it would be really bad. Therefore, he took the initiative to show a friendly attitude and propose cooperation.
His little scheme naturally didn't escape the notice of the other four. Yang Ni and Guo Cai looked Xu Shen up and down, their faces showing some hesitation. Actually, it wouldn't be bad if they could eliminate this person first.
Pei Yun, however, agreed with Xu Shen's suggestion: "This fellow Daoist is right. Does anyone among us specialize in formations?"
The scene was quiet. None of the five of them were disciples of the Array Hall. In fact, the sealing array was not a high-level array. If they were outside, they would have broken it by force. But now they had only recovered half of their strength, and breaking the array might consume all of their spiritual power.
"...Then let's all attack together; we have no choice but to break through the formation by force."
Fu Lingchen naturally had no objection to Pei Yun's suggestion, and the other three agreed without much thought. Since they couldn't open their storage artifacts, they had no choice but to rely on their own abilities to attack the formation.
After being attacked repeatedly by the five people, the transparent barrier finally gave way and broke open with a large hole.
The five reacted very quickly, passing through the opening and leaving the building almost simultaneously.
Xu Shen immediately flew away from the four of them towards a dark place. Yang Ni and the other two glanced at Fu Lingchen with hostility and also left in a certain direction.
"Let's go find Minglu and the others." Pei Yun led Fu Lingchen and flew towards the outer edge of the isolated island.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Yun and his group of five reunited for the first time since entering the trial mission.
“Tell me the information you’ve received today…” Pei Yun said.
The four looked at Pei Yun. Minglu spoke first: "...I am now a guard on the outer perimeter of the isolated island. This island is surrounded by sea. Even if we want to escape, we have to find a way to cross the sea. Furthermore, the outermost edge of the island is blocked by a fence, which seems to contain the power of lightning. Today, one of the participants touched the fence and immediately collapsed as if struck by lightning. The guards are also armed, which poses a threat to us..."
As she spoke, she took out the gun from her waist, "This is the weapon issued to the Guardians."
The other four didn't recognize the gun, but Pei Yun's eyes lit up. He took the gun and said, "This is a good thing. During the day, we are no different from ordinary people, but this gun poses a great threat to us. Be careful when using it."
Then Fu Lingchen spoke up: "...Don't easily confront ordinary people in this world. The two people who attacked me during the day were both subdued by them..."
At this moment, Zhou Feng looked at Minglu: "...Where was the participant who tried to escape the island during the day sent...?"
"At the northernmost point of the isolated island, there is a prison where many people are held..."
