Those in the Ghost Realm now looked back at the crowd with faces full of reluctance. Clearly, using strong strength to suppress them was no longer effective.
If the people behind still didn't change who was walking ahead, those from the Ghost Realm definitely wouldn't move forward. They would even risk engaging in battle with the people behind; even if it ant dying in combat here, it was better than dying suffocated in this whirlpool of power.
Ye Xingjun didn't speak, and neither did Wei Qing and the others beside him.
It was clear that soone needed to walk in front now. But the question was, who was willing to go ahead? Walking in the front ant facing death—who would want to do that?
"Soone has to walk in front!" Finally, Su Yang said softly.
"You sound so noble, why don't you walk in front?"
The people from the Ghost Realm imdiately cursed with anger. They harbored extra resentnt towards Su Yang. Not only because Su Yang had set Ghost Xian up, but more importantly, in their eyes, the Human Clan was seen as the lowest kind.
Logically, in this kind of situation, it should be the Human Clan who goes in front, to die and clear the path. But now, the Human Clan was safely in the middle, while they from the Ghost Realm were sent to die in front. How could they accept that?
"I'm willing to walk in front!" Su Yang chuckled, "But it seems everyone else is not too willing!"
Everyone exchanged glances. The more Su Yang said this, the less willing they were to let him walk in front.
Just like Ye Xingjun said earlier, if Su Yang was indeed familiar with the outside of the Feather Spirit Palace, letting him walk in front would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountain. Keeping Su Yang in the middle, they could still control the situation!
"I don't care who goes in front, but my people from the Ghost Realm are definitely not going in front!" Another person from the Ghost Realm shouted, "If you all don't want to do it, you might as well kill us all!"
The rest of the people from the Ghost Realm nodded in agreent, unfearful of these people because they knew they wouldn't dare kill all of them.
Perhaps Ye Xingjun and others like him could kill one or two of them, but they definitely wouldn't dare annihilate all ten from the Ghost Realm. This would hold a completely different aning as it would an becoming enemies with the Ghost Realm.
If pursued by the Ghost Realm later, Ye Xingjun probably wouldn't be able to take such responsibility!
So now the situation was very awkward. The people from the Ghost Realm were unwilling to go first, and no one else was willing to step forward. So who should go first?
As everyone remained silent, Su Yang suddenly said with a smile, "Actually, there's an easy way to solve this!"
Everyone looked towards Su Yang. Could it really be easy to solve this situation?
Su Yang said slowly, "Currently, there are two choices. Either a mber of the Human Clan goes in front, explores the path, and sacrifices themselves. After all, in your eyes, the life of a Human Clan mber is worthless!"
Everyone exchanged looks but didn't respond to Su Yang. Although they admitted this point, they certainly wouldn't let a Human Clan mber walk ahead. The more Su Yang said this, the less they wanted to do so.
"Of course, nobody wants that thod. So, we'll have to resort to the second thod!" Su Yang smiled, "And that is drawing lots!"
"Drawing lots?" Everyone was stunned and then looked at each other. Wasn't this approach too hasty?
"Since no one wants to walk in front, why not just draw lots? Whoever draws the position in front must walk ahead. It's a decision made collectively. Even if soone from the Ghost Realm draws it, they'll have to walk in front. Are you okay with this?" Su Yang asked the mbers from the Ghost Realm.
Those from the Ghost Realm exchanged looks and finally nodded slowly. One of them said, "As long as it's fair, if I do draw the first lot, I'll walk in front and die without regrets. It's better than our people from the Ghost Realm always leading the way, isn't it?"
Ye Xingjun and the others exchanged glances. They were actually a little reluctant to draw lots. But it seed this was the only thod left now.
"If that's the case, let's decide by drawing lots!" Wei Qing nodded slowly, "Let's draw lots then!"
Eventually, they followed Su Yang's proposal and decided by drawing lots.
However, so people didn't have to draw lots, naly, the leaders of the Nine Realms. Like Su Yang from the Human World, Wei Qing from the Heavenly Realm, Yang Wudi from the Demon Realm, and Ye Xingjun from the Feather Realm.
After all, these individuals were leaders and held great hopes for their realms. Entering the Feather Spirit Palace gave them the best chance of acquiring what was inside.
Though initially displeased, in the end, they agreed, as Ghost Xian from the Ghost Realm also didn't need to draw lots.
The result of the draw was that soone from the Demon Clan had to lead.
The person from the Demon Clan was devastated by this outco. He turned to look at Yang Wudi, hoping Yang Wudi would speak up for him.
But in the end, Yang Wudi turned his head away, not speaking up for him.
After all, drawing lots was sothing everyone agreed on. If Yang Wudi intervened, it would an offending the other Eight Realms, and he wouldn't do such a thing.
Moreover, among the top ten, there was only this one person from the Demon Clan, which wasn't a great loss.
Ultimately, the mber from the Demon Clan had no choice but to walk in front, carefully exploring the path ahead.
Everyone followed him from a distance, keeping a rather substantial gap to ensure they had ti to stop if needed.
Su Yang followed behind with interest. The nine mbers of the Human Clan were quite lucky during the drawing, with none of them placed in the top ten. Qi Zhishan drew the closest, at position thirteen.
This infuriated the other domains, but they couldn't argue. After all, the drawing was a decision they all made together, and they couldn't just invalidate their prior agreent.
With these ten leading, they covered about half the distance. Now, they were less than two thousand ters from the Feather Spirit Palace.
However, the gaps between the beams of the seven-colored light had beco very narrow.
Walking within them, they not only had to guard against the whirlpools of power that could appear at any mont but also the beams of seven-colored light, making it even more dangerous.
And for Su Yang, the most troubling issue had arisen. Because in just two more turns, it would be Qi Zhishan's turn to explore the path in front. Moreover, this stretch was where the whirlpools of power were the densest and most dangerous, posing an extre risk.
