"What do you mean?" Wu Yang was completely confused by Long Chen's words. He didn't understand at all.
Long Chen thought this way. His main goal this time was to obtain a high evaluation. That way, he would have the opportunity to obtain a dragon scale to cultivate the Nine Dragon Scripture. That would be pretty good. Because of Lingxi, his only mission now was to climb up in the True Martial Emperor Palace in terms of strength and status.
Therefore, he had to complete the Battle of Trials beautifully.
However, his strength wasn't enough for him to complete such a mission for the time being. Furthermore, by cooperating with them, not only would he be able to increase his own score, he would also be able to increase the Evil Dragon Palace's score. It was reasonable and not unreasonable.
When the supervisors were grading, they would definitely include everyone's performance. Due to the existence of the Soul Suppressing Stone in the Moon Devil Cave, one's Divine Sense would be suppressed. It would be difficult to grade. However, Long Chen was even more certain that the Soul Suppressing Stone here definitely wouldn't be able to suppress the Drunkard's Divine Sense, which was almost a hundred thousand li in radius.
If there really was such a terrifying Soul Suppressing Stone, it would have been dug out long ago.
The Soul Suppressing Stone here was at most grade seven. It was formed naturally. He didn't know where it existed in the Moon Devil Cave.
Therefore, if Han Yunxing came, he would be able to observe every action of Long Chen and the others. Long Chen was a smart person. He knew how to use his outstanding performance to obtain what he needed.
Cooperating with his teammates was also one of his missions.
Therefore, he shared what he knew with everyone.
Long Chen didn't say anything. Previously, he had used the Soul Control skill to make that cultivator draw a map of the Moon Devil Cave that he was familiar with. After reaching the Divine Martial Realm, one's life had already transcended. A person's consciousness and memory would increase to a frightening level. Although the Moon Devil Cave had several tens of thousands of passages, after living here for decades or even centuries, any Divine Martial Realm cultivator would be able to draw a map of the Moon Devil Cave that they were familiar with.
As for Long Chen, he was now using his own method to draw the map that he had stolen from the True Martial Emperor Palace. Long Chen had at least improved this map by ten times.
Those who were still wondering what Long Chen was doing now saw that the map was gradually being completed. They once again felt admiration for Long Chen. In their hearts, Long Chen had completely stolen the limelight from Wu Yang and the others. There was even a mysterious feeling about him.
When Long Chen was drawing the map, even Wu Yang was speechless. As for Ye Zheng, he had been silently watching Long Chen's actions. Occasionally, he would also look at the dignified Wu Yue. The young girl's long hair gently fluttered in the wind. Her fair skin was incomparably delicate, as pure white as a baby's skin.
Soon, everyone noticed that there were two suspicious points in Long Chen's map. The first suspicious point was that the map looked like a gourd. It was divided into two parts. One part was clearly drawn by Long Chen, while the other part was blank. The middle part was the narrowest part of the gourd. Long Chen had directly cut the gourd into two halves.
The second suspicious point was the clear part of the gourd. Long Chen had used a heavy colored pen to mark a total of nine points. These nine points were very scattered.
"There's still half, why don't you draw it?" Wu Yang urged.
"I'm not clear about the other half, so I don't need it for now. This is the information I obtained. If you believe me, then I'll tell you what to do next."
Long Chen seriously spread the map on the ground. Everyone gathered around, clearly believing in Long Chen. Although Wu Yang was unwilling, he couldn't help but admire Long Chen. He truly knew a lot of things.
Long Chen didn't talk about the map, but started with the layout of the Moon Devil Grotto. He said, "Everyone must be very curious. Why are there so many people in those small cities in the Moon Devil Grotto? We've only met a few people so far. That's because they're all here. The only ones left to stop us are Yang Xiong and the other swindlers, as well as Xue Ya Zi. The others are all here …"
Long Chen's finger pointed at another blank spot on the gourd map.
"You guys don't know yet, but the people of the Moon Devil Cave have obtained a treasure. Before the full moon, they will seal off half of the cave and hide inside. Then, they will use the lives of thousands of people to activate that treasure in order to achieve some kind of cultivation goal. Now, there are only two or three days until the full moon, so if we retreat now, more than a thousand lives will vanish like smoke in thin air. We are representing the True Martial Emperor Palace to complete the mission, so if we can rescue these people, we will definitely get a lot of points. However, if these people are all killed, then we will lose points. At that time, we will fail to live up to the expectations of the Palace Master and the Vice Palace Master, this is inevitable."
Long Chen did not reveal the information about the Moonlight Cache Box and the Purple Devil Moon. Instead, he spoke very vaguely. The Moonlight Cache Box should be an evil item. Long Chen did not want some people to abandon the original purpose of martial arts for the sake of strength and become the next Moon Devil Grotto.
This information was completely unknown to the others. They looked at each other and did not know what to do. At this time, Zheng Dongyang sneered and said, "Are you trying to play to the gallery or are you scheming something? Why do you know so much? I think you have evil intentions."
"Dongyang, if he had evil intentions, he would not have saved us just now." Wu Yue was very clear about the situation.
Beside her, Wu Yang shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Who knows what he is planning. What he said is also a fantasy. Who would believe him?"
Wu Yang had only said it casually. He did not expect Du Yishuang and the others to directly say that they believed him. In a moment, everyone believed him. Only the disciples of the Temple Lord, Liu Qingfeng, who had no right to speak, chose to believe Long Chen.
"I also believe what he said." Wu Yue was silent for a moment. Then, she relaxed her eyebrows and said.
"You …" Wu Yang was completely speechless.
Long Chen glanced at him and said, "This place is now sealed."
The place he was talking about was the thin and small area between the two ends of the gourd.
"Xue Ya Zi placed a lot of Purple Flame Godly Iron here, completely sealing the entrance. Apart from destroying the Purple Flame Godly Iron, there is no way for us to go. Even if I use my weapon, I don't know how long it will take to dig out a path."
"Purple Flame Godly Iron? Then what do we do? Doesn't that mean we will never be able to enter and kill them?" Wu Yue was in the mood to discuss with Long Chen.
"This is the key to why I drew so many points. There are nine points on the map, and each point has a hidden mechanism. Only by finding this mechanism and clearing all nine of them will the steel wall formed by the Purple Flame Divine Iron be opened. Only then will we be able to enter the sealed area and truly complete the mission. If it were just me alone, clearing all nine of the mechanisms would take a very long time. So, everyone, let's work together. We are currently at this location on the map." After giving out his instructions, Long Chen stood up.
"Wait, are you kidding? If they sealed the inside, why would they leave nine mechanisms outside for us to open the door?" Wu Yang frowned and said in disbelief.
"It's very simple. Because this was designed by Xue Ya Zi. He is still outside, and who would know? Who would be able to find him? There are a total of nine mechanisms here. Xue Ya Zi is the one who set the mechanisms. Things like mechanisms can also fail. If the training mechanism fails, won't they all be trapped inside?" Long Chen said directly without looking at Wu Yang.
"Then how do you know?" Wu Yang's question was probably the same question as the others.
"Why should I tell you?" Long Chen asked back.
"You." Wu Yang was rendered speechless by his words.
Long Chen had already said everything that needed to be said. He pointed at the nine points on the map and said, "Considering the issue of speed, we'll split into two groups. I'll go through the four mechanisms here, and the rest of you will go through the other four. After that, we'll meet here. This is the last mechanism, and also the location of the sealed door. Does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"I've said everything I need to say. If you don't believe me, you can take the map and explore the Moon Devil Grotto. See if the situation is as I said. If you're afraid, you can come back in a few days. After the full moon, over a thousand people will die, and their strength will increase once again. At that time, we'll see how the experts will deal with them," said Long Chen mockingly.
Everyone was a little embarrassed.
Du Yishuang was the first to speak, "I feel that Long Chen's words are very reasonable. Moreover, his analysis is very clear and logical. It doesn't seem like he is lying. Moreover, he is Palace Master Jiang's disciple. This information, maybe …"
When Jiang Qing was mentioned, everyone finally understood why Long Chen knew so much. They understood that it was Jiang Qing who told Long Chen. Long Chen alone could not have gotten so much information. Since Jiang Qing had secretly told him, Wu Yang did not have any problems. He took the map from Long Chen and said, "Since it is like this, we will split into two groups. However, if you really want to go alone, what if you run away and play us like monkeys?"
Wu Yue, who was next to him, had a bright idea and said, "I will go with Long Chen, and the others will go together. Then, we will meet at the last location. The more people, the better. It's decided."
