Gods: Start with Goblins

"That's not necessarily true."

The man in black robe interrupted,
“Those runes could also just be his personal symbols, or some special spells.

In short, we are still unable to determine his identity and purpose.”

"No matter what, we have to be careful."

Pei Sheng said in a deep voice,
“From now on, everyone should remain vigilant and not trust anyone easily.

Also, don't take it too lightly. Things are not as simple as we think.

Since that god-level master can appear here, it means that this area must be hiding some secrets.

We must find it as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid there will be more dangers waiting for us."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that the current situation did not allow them to be lax or careless. Only by uniting as one and facing the current predicament together could they possibly uncover the true face of the mysterious god-level master and find a way out of the current predicament.

So, they began to act separately, searching for possible clues and evidence while being alert to all the movements around them. In this unknown adventure, can they successfully uncover the secrets of the God-level Venerable and protect their own safety? Everything is still unknown...

"Inside, I saw seals from ancient times," she said softly, looking solemnly at the mysterious space surrounded by ancient runes. "The power of those seals is strong and ancient. I think that evil cultivator must not have recovered all his strength. Otherwise, with his temperament and strength, he would never be trapped in there and dare not come out easily."

Her words were filled with calm analysis, as if they could penetrate the fog and get to the heart of the matter. Hearing this, the man rubbed his tightly furrowed brows and frowned even more tightly: "What's the point of saying this now? If Luo Dan can come out alive, then we will be the ones doomed. The account between us and Luo Dan can be said to be irreconcilable."

"But we can't just sit there and wait for death." She retorted, with a determined light in her eyes, "We must find a way, at least to find out the true intentions of the evil cultivator and why he was sealed here."

"Have you promised Qilin anything before?" She suddenly changed the subject and looked at the dragon beside her. "I think Qilin is also not right. He seems to hate Luodan very much. Is there any connection between these two people?"

Jiaolong shook his head with a complicated expression: "Luodan didn't tell me anything. Qilin never mentioned the past between him and Luodan. However, judging from the appearance of these two people, they should have had a grudge a long time ago. I guess the resentment has been going on for a long time."

"So what should we do now?" she asked anxiously, looking around for a possible way out.

"What else can we do?" The man laughed bitterly. "We can only wait and see. I hope Luo Dan can get rid of that evil cultivator as soon as possible. Then we can find a way to settle the old score with him."

"But, if Luo Dan fails..." There was a hint of trembling in her words, and she was obviously full of fear for the unknown that was about to come.

"If Luo Dan fails," the man took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone, "then we may have to prepare for the worst. However, I believe in Luo Dan, he will definitely be able to survive this."

The three of them stood quietly outside the seal, staring at the mysterious space. As time passed, the aura inside the seal became more and more violent, as if something was about to break free and regain its freedom.

"Look, the seal is starting to loosen!" She suddenly pointed at the seal and shouted, her tone full of tension.

Upon hearing this, the man and the dragon looked at the seal with vigilance. They saw the ancient runes began to flicker, as if they would collapse at any time. They knew that this meant that the power of the evil cultivator was gradually recovering, and Luodan's situation was becoming more and more dangerous.

"We must be prepared to deal with any unexpected events at any time." The man said in a deep voice, while tightening his weapon in his hand.

"But can we really deal with that evil cultivator?" she asked uneasily, her heart full of doubts.

"I don't know," the man answered honestly, "But we can't just give up like this. At the very least, we have to buy some time for Luo Dan, so that he has a chance to complete his mission."

As the seal loosened, a strong evil aura rushed towards them. The three of them immediately held their breath and focused their attention on the seal. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the seal, carrying a monstrous anger and murderous intent, and rushed towards them.

"Here it comes!" the man shouted, swinging his weapon and facing the black shadow. The dragon and the woman were not to be outdone, and they used their unique skills to engage in a fierce battle with the black shadow.

However, the strength of the evil cultivator far exceeded their expectations. Although the three of them joined forces, they still could not resist the fierce attack of the evil cultivator. For a while, the battle fell into a stalemate, and the three of them could only hold on and wait for Luo Dan to appear.

At this moment, a brilliant sword light suddenly rushed out from the seal and headed straight for the evil cultivator. That was Luo Dan! He had finally completed his mission, successfully unlocked the seal, and was ready to fight the evil cultivator.

Seeing Luo Dan appear, the three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, they also knew that this battle was far from over. The battle between Luo Dan and the evil cultivator would be a life-and-death battle. They must go all out to provide support to Luo Dan and fight against the powerful evil cultivator together.

So, the three of them cheered up again, fought side by side with Luo Dan, and welcomed the coming storm together. In this unknown battle, they will use their courage and wisdom to write their own legendary chapter. Pei Sheng stood in the open space shrouded in ancient atmosphere, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on his face. His eyes were sharp, like a hawk, and he was locked on the man in front of him. The man was ragged and looked tired. He had obviously escaped from a dangerous shortcut. Pei Sheng had heard about it before. The shortcut contained ancient power. Anyone who stepped into it would be suppressed and his strength would be greatly reduced.

He slowly walked towards the man, each step seemed steady and powerful. He knew that although the man looked embarrassed, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get out of that shortcut alive.

"You must have a way to get Luo Dan out," Pei Sheng's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, "Stop playing crazy and stupid over there. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Your tricks are useless at all."

Hearing this, the man looked up at Pei Sheng, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Pei Sheng to come to him so directly. He smiled slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness.

"What are you talking about? Why do I feel confused?" the man asked in a puzzled tone, trying to hide his inner panic.

Pei Sheng sneered, obviously not believing the man's words. He took a step closer, staring at the man with a sharp gaze: "Don't play tricks on me. I know what happened between you and Luo Dan, and I also know that you have been looking for a way to remove the ancient oppression. Now, Luo Dan is trapped in there, you must know how to get him out."

Seeing this, the man knew that it was useless to keep it a secret any longer. He sighed and said slowly: "Pei Sheng, you misunderstood. I do know something about the ancient suppression, but it does not mean that I can get Luo Dan out. The situation there is complicated and changeable, and even I almost didn't make it out alive."

"Then why did you want to go in?" Pei Sheng asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Because I have my own purpose." The man said frankly, "But this has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Luodan being trapped. Don't drag me into this matter."

"Humph, do you think I will believe you?" Pei Sheng sneered, "What you did has nothing to do with us. Stop throwing dirty water on us."

The man's expression froze when he heard this. He knew that Pei Sheng had always been wary of them, and this incident had only deepened the gap between them. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

"Pei Sheng, I know you don't believe me. But I can assure you that we haven't done anything to harm you. We are also sad that Luo Dan is trapped. But we really have no way to rescue him now."

Pei Sheng stared into the man's eyes, trying to find a flaw in them. But the man's eyes were firm and sincere, which made him a little shaken. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, I believe you for now. But if you dare to play tricks, I will never let you go."

The man nodded, showing his understanding. He knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to remove the ancient oppression, rather than getting entangled with Pei Sheng. So, he suggested: "Pei Sheng, why don't we work together. Together we can find a way to remove the ancient oppression, and maybe we can find clues to rescue Luo Dan."

Pei Sheng was silent for a moment after hearing this. He knew that what the man said was not unreasonable. So he nodded and agreed. The two decided to put aside their prejudices for the time being and face the current predicament together.

In the following days, they explored every corner of the shortcut together, looking for possible clues. Although they encountered many difficulties and dangers in the process, they always maintained firm faith and determination. Finally, by chance, they found an ancient altar with some strange runes engraved on it. After careful study, they found that these runes were actually related to ancient oppression.

They excitedly tried to decipher the runes, hoping to find a way to remove the suppression. After some effort, they finally succeeded in deciphering the meaning of the runes and found a possible solution. So, they decided to immediately go to where Lodan was trapped and try to rescue him.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw that Lodan was trapped in a cage made of ancient power and could not escape. They immediately followed the solution they had found before and began to cast spells. After some efforts, they finally succeeded in breaking the ancient oppression and rescued Lodan from the cage.

Luo Dan looked at them with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes. He knew that without their help, he might never escape from that cage. He expressed his heartfelt thanks to them and promised to remember this kindness forever.

Pei Sheng and the man smiled at each other, and the barriers in their hearts disappeared at this moment. They knew that although there had been misunderstandings and suspicions between them, when they faced difficulties together, they could still work together to overcome difficulties. This experience made them cherish their friendship and trust with each other even more.

The man's eyes flickered, and he deliberately denied every question raised by Pei Sheng. There was a subtle contempt in his voice. He cleverly concealed his edge, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, unwilling to let anyone present see his true strength. He knew that once exposed, he might be involved in unnecessary disputes.

"You two must have a way," Pei Sheng's voice rose a few degrees, obviously dissatisfied with the man's evasion, "Hurry up and find a way to teach us how to suppress them. Otherwise, when the sealed power is released, do you think you two will have an easy time?"

The man smiled faintly, he was not afraid of Pei Sheng's threat. He secretly thought that at worst he could go back to the secret barrier to hide, what did the turmoil outside have to do with him? However, he did not express these thoughts, but just responded lightly: "Pei Sheng, you overestimate our ability. If we really have a way, why wait until now?"

Pei Sheng stared at the man's eyes, trying to catch a trace of lies. However, the man's eyes were clear and firm, making him unable to determine whether he was lying. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner irritability.

"I don't care if you have any solution or not," Pei Sheng's voice became low and powerful, "but now, we must unite and deal with the upcoming crisis together. If you are unwilling to help, please leave here and don't get in our way."

The man smiled playfully when he heard this. He did not respond immediately, but turned and looked at the sky in the distance. There, a few dark clouds were slowly gathering, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

"Pei Sheng, you are anxious." The man's voice was a little teasing, "But I can give you a suggestion. Instead of forcing us here, why not find those who are truly capable of solving the problem. Perhaps they can bring you unexpected surprises."

After saying this, the man turned around and was about to leave. However, at this moment, a strange aura suddenly spread, which moved everyone present. Luo Dan even felt this extraordinary aura, which was slowly approaching him, as if some kind of power was calling him. (End of this chapter)
