"Release the beasts?" Lan Bing'er said, "Do you know how to do that, Ziyu?"
"I don't know that part, but let's ask the beasts; they should have some knowledge," Ziyu replied, aware that the beasts were intelligent, some even comparable to humans, so they might have clues.
"Let's collect the points from that Squad first," Ruan Ling suggested, then approached the group of beasts and walked to where the Squad had been. "Since their Squad has withdrawn, their tokens are naturally left here, and all the points belong to us now."
Ruan Ling checked and found that each token from this Squad had over ten points. It would take four days to fully absorb half of them at once.
"Next..." Ruan Ling moved aside and looked at a few beasts leaning against the door; those beasts were watching the people who had agreed to release them.
"We don't know how to let you go, so I think we need to cooperate," Ziyu stepped forward and addressed a rhinoceros-like beast standing at the door. "I know you can understand us, so please tell us."
Ziyu believed these beasts must know how to get out; they just couldn't do it themselves.
The Rhinoceros Beast nodded humanely and walked over to a stone wall. This wall was different from the others; it was marked with many scratches while the other walls were relatively smooth.
The Rhinoceros Beast stood in front of this wall and began to carve into it with its sharp horn.
"It's writing." Everyone's eyes lit up; although these beasts couldn't speak, they could write.
"To let us out, you need to use human blood to dye the only door red."
"One drop of blood can only allow one beast to leave; this is what the master has decreed. As for the reason, we can explain once we are out."
Two lines of text appeared on the wall, and everyone read it carefully.
"The master must be a predecessor of this ruin," Ruan Ling nodded. "Let's give it a try."
Ruan Ling led the Rhinoceros Beast to the door and let a drop of blood fall from her finger onto it.
Rhinoceros Beast was closest to Ruan Ling when a blood-red light suddenly appeared on the door, extending onto Rhinoceros Beast, teleporting it away.
"It really worked. Let's all do it; we will release these beasts one by one," Ruan Ling said.
In fact, both Ziyu and Ruan Ling believed that releasing the beasts was beneficial. The beasts were known for their loyalty, and although releasing them wouldn't provide immediate help, in the future, if they encountered danger, having these beasts as allies would make things much easier.
"The beasts should line up and come out one by one..."
Half an hour later.
"Finally done," Ziyu said, looking at the suddenly empty red room with a slight smile. "Now we can go out."
Everyone nodded and walked toward the red door.
"This..." Ziyu was taken aback as soon as he stepped outside; instead of encountering beasts, there were people.
"Although we don't have much to offer you, we will certainly do our best to help wherever we can!" a strong man stepped forward and said to Ruan Ling.
"Are you the rhinoceros?" Ruan Ling hesitated for a moment before asking, to which the strong man nodded.
It turned out that these beasts were all at least of the Seventh Level Mystic level, so they had long possessed the ability to take human form. However, Xiang Yu had restricted their abilities with a special formation in the red room.
Now that everyone had come out, the restrictions were naturally lifted, allowing these beasts to transform into humans.
As for the notion that one drop of blood could bring out a beast... it was somewhat of a joke.
Xiang Yu was quite arrogant and nearly obsessed with cultivation, often seeking out beasts for battles. He captured the beasts in this red room, using the formation to limit their movements while promising them something in return.
The promise was that if the demon beast harmed Xiang Yu and forced him to the door, the special formation of the door would activate, sending the demon beast that harmed Xiang Yu away, granting it freedom.
The formation did not require blood recognition, so as long as it was a person's blood, it could take the demon beast out.
"Wait... were you all captured by the senior?" Ruan Ling asked, somewhat incredulous. So many powerful demon beasts were actually captured by Xiang Yu alone.
"Yes, we are all demon beasts of similar levels, yet we were all captured. His combat power is indeed very strong," Rhinoceros Beast chuckled.
"Previously, only a few demon beasts managed to leave, and it is said that those who left became his friends," the Rhinoceros said. "One fellow even came back to visit us once, but by the time he returned, he was no longer restricted by the formation."
Xiang Yu had many friends; formations and space distortions were all within reach for him. As for himself, he could only fight... but Xiang Yu's boldness and immense strength attracted many powerful beings who wanted to befriend him.
"I see... Since everyone has just been released, let's go stretch a bit. However, this is a unique space, so we still need to follow some rules," Ruan Ling said, then explained the details of the competition within this space.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright, let's continue." Ruan Ling took a deep breath. The demon beasts had already left, and the hall became empty again.
The demon beasts hadn't been outside for a long time and would certainly not follow Ruan Ling Squad; they wanted to explore on their own. Whether the demon beasts would assist Ruan Ling Squad depended on the situation.
"We're at the last door now, and if there are going to be significant gains, it should be behind this final door," Ruan Ling said as she approached the last door. Earlier, when Ziyu was about to enter, another squad had come to block them, but now there were no disturbances.
"I don't think the last door will be simple," Ziyu said, looking at the gray door with the words 'Wudao Hall' inscribed on it, feeling somewhat hesitant.
"The senior has passed away; naturally, there is no reason for him to harm others. He has left other things behind; it seems he truly intends to pass on his legacy to us and will not harm us," Lan Bing'er said with a grin.
"That's true..." Ruan Ling nodded. Although she still felt a bit hesitant, she was already feeling more assured in her heart.
"Let's go. Only by entering can we understand what this Wudao Hall is all about." Ruan Ling looked at everyone and then solemnly walked toward the gray door.
The three characters of Wudao Hall seemed to indicate a place related to cultivation, suggesting that some comprehension would be required once they entered.
"Let's go in," Ruan Ling said, and stepped through the final gray door.
Ziyu followed closely behind.
After a moment of lost consciousness, everyone found themselves in a new space...
"Look, over there seems to be a pile of spirit stones!" Lan Bing'er noticed a small mountain in the distance, which was actually made up of spirit stones. The concentration of Spiritual Energy in this space was significantly denser.
"It seems our visit here is indeed necessary," Ruan Ling nodded with a smile. She recognized at a glance that the small mountain was indeed made of spirit stones.
"Everyone, I don't know why you have come to my Xiang Yu's Wudao Hall, but I hope you can gain something here." A voice echoed, and Ziyu's heart stirred; it was indeed Xiang Yu's voice, who had introduced himself.
"Senior is Xiang Yu?" Ruan Ling nodded.
"Coming to my Wudao Hall, there are some things you need to know," Xiang Yu's voice continued to resonate.
"I have many friends, and many have heard of me. This Wudao Hall was created by entrusting it to my numerous friends; it can be said that a lot of effort has been put into it."
"At the very back of this Wudao Hall are Spirit Stone Hills. Not to mention absorbing the spiritual energy within the Spirit Stone Hills, even cultivating beside them is faster than in other places. You should all be able to see these Spirit Stone Hills, but the path leading there is not very peaceful."
"I want to make it clear here: the open space before you is filled with various formations, including Illusion Arrays, Confinement Formations, and even Killing Formations. These formations are advanced and will automatically control the level of those who enter based on their rank. I hope you can successfully enter the Spirit Stone Hills."
"If you find yourselves unable to exit after entering the formations, you may stop any resistance. When the time is right, you will naturally be able to come out," Xiang Yu said.
Ziyu listened to these words and thoughtfully glanced at the small hill in front of him.
It seems that Xiang Yu is also looking for a successor, rather than just leaving everything out in the open for someone to take.
"Let's give it a try. According to Xiang Yu's senior, it should be safe," Ziyu suggested that everyone give it a shot.
Since Ziyu had a brief encounter with Xiang Yu, he knew that Xiang Yu would not create something to harm people. What Xiang Yu said must be true; there was no need for him to deceive anyone.
"Killing Formation... it should be quite dangerous," Ruan Ling said, looking at the flat road ahead that extended towards Spirit Stone Hill, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"Let's go. The senior wouldn't lie," Ruan Ling thought to himself. Since they had been told there was no life-threatening danger, what was there to fear...
"If anyone doesn't want to go, you can stay here or wait outside. Just be careful not to let other Squad members cause trouble here, and stay safe," Ruan Ling reminded everyone at the end.
Everyone knew that fortune often comes with risk. Since they were already here, there was no point in hesitating; they had to take something back.
"Alright, let's do this. Ruan Ling, we'll wait here," some team members immediately took the lead.
"Right now, only I and Ziyu are confirmed to go. Is there anyone else?" Ruan Ling looked at each member of the Squad.
"I want to go too! I'll enter with Ziyu," Lan Bing'er jumped out and bounced over to Ziyu, giggling.
