"Move!"
Without a second thought, the fake emperor immediately led his surviving experts to rush over.
Having gained an advantage in this round, they absolutely could not let Bai Ziying get ahead in the next, or he would truly weep to death here.
However.
Thinking of the events that had just transpired.
The fake emperor did not charge in first. Instead, he sent his subordinates ahead.
"Swish!"
The expert stepped forward, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
More waiting.
Because they were unsure of the situation ahead, they could only wait.
"Whoosh..."
In just a few breaths of time.
A round object shot out from within, moving at extreme speed.
Everyone quickly dodged.
"Bang!"
The object struck the distant floor, bouncing twice.
Everyone also saw it clearly.
It was the head of the expert who had just entered. His eyes were bulging, still carrying the fear that had not completely dissipated.
Everyone was shocked.
They all remembered what Emperor Long had said before.
"The Path of Life and Death, severing life and death."
Death was a possibility inside; this was no child's play.
At that, the fake emperor's experts looked at each other, their faces filled with apprehension. No one dared to take the lead.
The fake emperor knew deeply that he could not afford to lose more men.
Otherwise, he would always be suppressed by Bai Zimo!
"Bai Zimo, you have more people. You go in first."
The fake emperor sneered ominously, then moved aside from the entrance to the Path of Life and Death, making a "please" gesture to Bai Zimo.
Bai Zimo was not going to fall for such a trick.
He immediately chuckled and said, "Weren't you quite eager? This opportunity is yours, go and prove yourself."
Prove himself?
Prove himself to what end?
He might just die inside!
"Bai Zimo, do you take me for a fool?"
The fake emperor was instantly enraged and snorted coldly, "This Path of Life and Death is indeed strange, but you can't possibly expect all my men to charge in first."
"At worst..."
"No one goes in today!"
He had already suffered a disadvantage at the Scattered Treasure Rock just now.
The atmosphere fell silent.
"How about this..."
Zhuge Sheng spoke, "The situation within the Path of Life and Death is unclear. Both sides will send one person at a time to attempt passage. Whether they live or die, the next person to go will be from the opposing side.
"What do you think?"
This method was fair, but Bai Zimo's side held the advantage.
Because.
They had more survivors.
The fake emperor also knew that it was impossible to get all of Bai Zimo's people to go in.
Moreover, he was worried that if Bai Zimo's people went in and claimed all the benefits, he would return empty-handed.
This method was exactly to his liking.
"Good, it's settled."
The fake emperor agreed and said solemnly, "My people went in just now, now it's your turn."
Bai Zimo scanned his surroundings, about to ask, when an elder from the Divine Thief faction volunteered, "Young Master, let me go. I am swift, perhaps I can pass."
The speed of the Divine Thieves was generally not poor.
As an elder, he had sufficient confidence.
"Alright."
Bai Zimo nodded and instructed, "If you pass, once you enter, do not act rashly. Be wary of traps. Safety is paramount."
"Yes!"
The elder responded and darted into the Path of Life and Death.
As soon as he stepped through the light portal, he lost contact with everyone.
Time passed.
Ten seconds, half a minute, one minute!
There was no movement from within, nor any screams.
"He has passed."
Just as everyone was speculating, Emperor Long's voice came.
With a precedent set, everything that followed was logical.
Both sides took turns sending experts into the passage.
Before long.
Quite a few people from the fake emperor's side entered, and quite a few from Bai Zimo's side also entered.
Both sides suffered losses and had successful passages.
"Your turn."
As the number of people dwindled, it was Bai Zimo's turn.
Bai Zimo's heart tightened. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Emperor Long's emotionless voice: "One who carries the blood of hell."
"Your difficulty... will far exceed theirs."
