Chapter 946 Dangerous Situation

Grey moved closer to the tree as he studied it. The fact that this tree could release mental attacks was a surprising discovery for him.

Before leaving, he told Arya's brother to stay put.

The two old men managed to block most of the attacks coming their way, the mental attack was a little troublesome, but after unveiling their true strength, it was easy for them to deal with it.

When the others around sensed their auras, they all had a change of expression. With the appearance of two Sage Plane Elementalists, it was almost impossible for them to gain anything from this.

After going through such a gruesome challenge to get here, they still had to watch others take the reward. They were all indignant, but there was nothing they could do. The strength difference between them was just too massive.

However, they still didn't attempt to leave. There was still some hope. Since the tree and the veil could unleash counterattacks that even gave these Sage Plane Elementalists troubles, there's a chance that they could wait for them to be exhausted from it and then swoop in to take the reward.

Ordinarily, an Overlord Plane Elementalist stood no chance against a Sage Plane Elementalist who was not in the First stage, but once a Sage Plane Elementalist was injured, their strength would naturally decline and present an opportunity for those here.

The two old men in the Sage Plane exchange glances before striking out with a palm attack each. The strength of the attack frightened those Origin and a few Arcane Plane Elementalists around.

Bang!

The attack struck the veil protecting the tree and it shook rapidly, after shaking for some time, it attacked just like the first time.

The two old men were already prepared for this and blocked it. The only reason the first attack managed to rattle them was due to their lack of knowledge about the tree. Now that they knew it would send out mental attacks, they were ready for it.

Not just them, Grey was prepared for it as well. He set up sufficient protection for Arya's brother before leaving, so he wasn't too bothered about him.

Those below the Sage Plane had already retreated far away from the place. It wasn't worth the risk of staying close to the place.

Even after moving over five hundred meters, some of those in the Overlord Plane started to bleed from their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

This frightened the Origin and Arcane Plane Elementalists who had taken further steps, they rushed to retreat even further.

During the first attack, although the old men didn't attack with this much power, five people still died from it. It almost caused an uproar, but when they sensed the aura of the men, they all stopped and retreated from the area without a second thought.

The two old men continued their assault on the tree, and soon enough, the veil protecting it started to show signs of cracks.

This was what they had been waiting for. After seeing this, they increased the intensity of their attacks.

Grey was watching from the side, he had completely withdrawn his aura so he wasn't bothered by them finding him. His eyes were currently glowing with a blue light.

With this, he didn't need to bother about the mental attack. Whatever mental attack gets close to him is immediately frozen by his icy flame mental attack.

He wanted to wait till the duo did all the work and then he would swoop in and take the rewards.

The old men continued attacking, and before long, the veil broke apart.

Just when the veil broke, a powerful spiritual force spread out across the entire place.

This was completely out of the expectations of Grey and the old men. They didn't think the veil was actually holding in such a large amount of spiritual force. This turned into a terrifying mental attack that even Grey didn't dare to take slightly.

He instantly vanished and appeared beside Arya's brother. Before he could even react, they were no longer standing in the same spot.

They appeared in the first location Grey appeared when he came here.

Grey's eyes showed fear and without hesitation, he tried to forcefully teleport away from this place. Whatever was sealed in that tree was beyond his power as of present. Even protecting himself against it was difficult.

He had been doing some research, and being very good with arrays, he was able to find a loophole in this place. As long as he went back to the same spot where he appeared, then he could leave this place.

The question was, who would actually know the exact spot they appeared?

But unlike most people, Grey was different. His cautious nature made it so that he would leave spatial marks in multiple places. When he first appeared here, the first thing he did was mark this place.

He never thought this would be his hope of escaping. His only problem now was if he could take Arya's brother with him since this wasn't the same place he used to come in.

They were all teleported to different locations.

After tearing a hole in the space across the place, he dragged Arya's brother with him as they tried to leave.

The mental energy attack was still spreading across the place. If it got to them, it would be problematic.

Just as Grey suspected, it was a little difficult for him to take Arya's brother with him.

When he first took him, the space forced him out, but Grey acted quickly and created an array that managed to rectify the problem.

However, unknown to him, Arya's brother's body appeared for a quarter of a second on the mountain hill before he dragged him back into the spatial tunnel.

…

Back in the cave.

Void and Arya were still playing around while more people were entering the place and being teleported to the other side.

Void's expression suddenly changed, he sensed a dangerous energy for a split second.
