Unlike the elated crowd, Xiao Tian keenly picked up on sothing unusual in Tao Zhenghao’s words, as if there was still sothing he needed to add.
And the next mont, reality proved that Xiao Tian’s judgnt was indeed correct.
Only to hear Tao Zhenghao say again, "This is just an optimistic view, not counting the ti needed in between, and with my ability, I can only escape on my own, so..."
At this point, there was no need to continue speaking. Tao Zhenghao’s aning was very clear: he could escape this space, but the ti required was unknown, and he couldn’t take everyone with him.
These words, falling into the ears of the excited crowd, were like a bucket of cold water, rcilessly extinguishing the hope that had just been lit, calling it cruel would not be an exaggeration.
After hearing Tao Zhenghao’s explanation, although Xiao Tian didn’t hold much hope in him from the start, he still couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointnt.
Beneath the platform, seeing that Tao Zhenghao couldn’t be relied upon, everyone could only fix their eyes anxiously on Xiao Tian, as if expecting him to say anything like that would leave only the path of waiting for death.
Xiao Tian, regarded as the last straw by everyone, did not speak words of disappointnt.
He stepped forward and said aloud, "I wonder if you’ve noticed a phenonon..."
The crowd looked at each other, shook their heads cluelessly, then turned their eyes back to Xiao Tian, waiting for him to continue speaking.
"When we entered the Shaking Light Disc space, where did the gray-bearded old man who led us in go?!"
At these words, the crowd suddenly realized.
Indeed!
The old man who tried to lead everyone to their doom was indeed overlooked.
However, upon careful reflection, the crowd exchanged glances again, eventually showing a stupefied expression.
Because everyone discovered that the main culprit who appeared high-profile from the start and led them into the Shaking Light Disc space, nobody noticed how he disappeared.
Even the approximate ti of his disappearance couldn’t be recalled, as if the old man hadn’t appeared at all.
"Sorry, we don’t seem to rember clearly!" Qiao Guanyu answered on behalf of everyone.
Xiao Tian nodded slightly without showing any emotion. In fact, without Qiao Guanyu’s answer, he could see the answer from their reactions, but it was an answer that was hard to accept.
Now, the breakthrough point Xiao Tian could think of was the brazen acting, gray-bearded old man, despite his age, energetic old man.
If it’s not possible to reach the old man who claid to be the forr owner of the Shaking Light Disc, then escaping would be extrely difficult, only being able to try and explore based on speculation.
However, once it really reaches that point, the ti and effort needed to escape would be multiple, plus there’s no guarantee that unforeseen circumstances won’t arise during that ti.
If no breakthrough progress is made for a long ti, once soone gives rise to negative emotions, it’s like a source of plague, instantly infecting everyone.
At that ti, even if Xiao Tian’s personal ability is strong, it would be an unsalvageable outco.
Controlling the thoughts of an ordinary person is already extrely difficult, let alone such a group of powerful experts?!
Xiao Tian took a step forward, just about to say sothing, when suddenly a hearty laugh ca from the air...
"Hahahahaha! Have you finally rembered ?!"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up and saw an old man standing on auspicious clouds, stroking his gray beard, looking down at everyone condescendingly.
At this mont, including Xiao Tian and Tao Zhenghao, everyone couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, as if the old man in the air was invincible.
The crowd, whose fighting spirit was sowhat diminished, hurriedly steadied their minds, knowing that the current feeling was not their true intention, but the environnt and visual effects causing an influence on them.
No matter how it seed, it was still soone else’s domain, just like an old man seeming profound and unfathomable, he couldn’t act domineering in the real world.
But even so, the iron fact was that this was the internal space of the Shaking Light Disc, and with limited knowledge, it was impossible for the crowd to turn the tables.
"Want to get out?" the old man sneered, "Sure, as long as you can defeat , you can leave anyti!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd below the platform involuntarily rose into the air, slowly floating onto the platform, seemingly like puppets being maneuvered.
Next, amidst the crowd’s panicked gazes, they fell like dumplings, in free fall from mid-air.
Before they could even stand up, recovering from the chaos, they were faced with another shocking event.
The space where they originally stood was suddenly flooded with darkness.
At the sa ti, the limited and narrow space around the platform was completely filled with the surrounding darkness, and within a few blinks of an eye, the only space left for everyone to stand on was the platform.
Fortunately, the platform was spacious enough, leaving plenty of room even with fifty to sixty people standing on it, without becoming a human sardine can.
Yet even so, those on the outermost, closest to the edge, couldn’t help but move towards the platform’s center, for fear of being dragged into the boundless darkness.
After a short chaos, the crowd quickly cald, these were all battle-hardened individuals who naturally knew that the greater the chaos now, the faster their demise.
Only by staying calm and looking for a glimr of hope was the best thod to respond!
Once stabilized, everyone lifted their heads, angrily looking at the elderly figure in the air, like a god.
Usually, these people were all local tyrants, yet now they were treated as pets for fun, swallowing this insult would indeed be a real rarity.
Facing the hateful stares of everyone, the old man showed no abnormality, instead smiling and saying, "Yes, that’s it, gather all your anger and hatred and transform it into the power to fight , go ahead!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s fury was once again heightened, each operating their cultivation techniques, preparing to fight.
However, Xiao Tian frowned and said coldly, "Stay calm, don’t be swayed by his words, it’s best to temporarily turn off your hearing."
Though not understanding the intent behind Xiao Tian’s advice, everyone’s anger noticeably decreased, following his instruction to mute their hearing, becoming a group of thorough deaf people.
Seeing everyone carry out their actions accordingly, Xiao Tian’s frown didn’t ease a bit, instead, his face grew sterner.
The reason for this was because Xiao Tian, upon the simultaneous display of anger by everyone earlier, discovered an unusual, even chilling scene...
