Millennium Tension

*Swiish!*

*Boom!*

The grueling battles that were almost endless were finally over. The small number of invertebrate monsters that were all in number were finally destroyed and no longer resurfaced followed by the disappearance of all runes from the floor.

"Huh... Uh... It's finally over..." Lin Yu said exhaustedly while checking that the horde of little monsters had completely perished.

"Uhh... This is just the beginning? What happens if we go deeper?" Xun Ai said while sitting on the floor.

The question Lin Yu junior sister asked the other five girls of one thing, the Sky Spirit Realm monster ambush and the almost endless horde of little monsters was only their first encounter.

The six cultivator girls tiredly looked at the carcasses of small monsters that were scattered almost all over the floor of the arena with lots of blood and other disgusting fluids, but none of the monsters managed to get close to them thanks to the teamwork of the six of them with the help of Aizen's group.

They then turned to look at Aizen's group, who were not at all exhausted and still standing upright and healthy. Aizen seems to be chatting with the two girls with a communication technique they know nothing of, but they know it is not a telepathic technique that uses spirit power.

What they see occasionally is that Aizen and his two girls are staring at each other without saying anything. Even though Aizen and his two girls didn't show any meaningful expressions because their face covers were still on their faces, the cultivator girls knew they were talking about something.

Even though Lin Yu didn't know what Aizen's group was talking about, she could trust them because she didn't feel any malicious aura from the three of them.

Feng Zhi and the four junior sisters could only rely on Lin Yu's innate abilities to make sure they would be okay because they had gone too far into the ruins.

'Ana, are you all right?' Aizen asked worriedly.

'Um. I am fine. None of the strange animals managed to approach us.' Ana answered after double-checking that all those disgusting creatures were really dead.

'Alright, the corpses of the creature did not disappear like before, huh? Well... Now they are gradually disappearing into a black mist.' Aizen murmured while watching the corpses of the creature they had just eradicated slowly disappear from the arena floor.

'Master Aizen, Sister Ana, don't you realize that this colosseum arena does not have an exit gate?'

Axel looked around at the several gates around them that were similar to the ones Aizen had destroyed, all of them still tightly closed and even a gate that had been destroyed was completely restored.

Aizen and Ana are also aware of this and try to find out what happened but without success.

'Sigh... We didn't find anything about this, huh? I'm sure the legacy here is really interesting. Let me greet the tired girls first.' Aizen muttered lightly as he removed his battle armor and placed them back into the [Space Storage].

Ana and Axel also put their battle armor back on after nodding while watching Aizen approach the six girls who were sitting on the floor, the six girls were trying to recover as soon as possible.

"Are you all right?" Aizen casually greeted the six girls.

"We are fine, Mr. Aizen. Would you like to continue to explore further?" Lin Yu replied as a representative of their group.

"You still want to follow us to explore more?"

"Un. Can we?" Lin Yu asked as she looked into Aizen's eyes and was followed by the other five girls who were also staring at him.

"I don't mind that. This is only your first encounter, and you have traveled too far into the danger zone." Aizen said.

"May we know how far we've come and where we are now?" Feng Zhi joined the conversation with great concern.

"Since from the gate of the ancient ruins we have entered a thousand kilometers, we are currently ten kilometers underground." Aizen shares his calculations.

Feng Zhi nodded in understanding, they had already gone 1200 kilometers from the gate of the hidden realm. "Um, we will follow your directions and your arrangements. So please guide us on this exploration."

They have no other choice but to join Aizen's group to go deeper, they are also aware that Aizen's group does know some things that are not told when they see Aizen's group still looks calm even in difficult circumstances.

"I will hold on to your words. But I will not allow you if the situation is beyond your limits, understand?" Aizen made his decision clear when he saw that neither of the girls had bad intentions or greed, he only saw that the six of them only felt a little lost.

"We understand."

The six girls nodded to indicate their agreement. Maybe they would be teleported out of the ruins if things got even more difficult considering Aizen was the expert who made the teleportation talisman that Feng Zhi bought at the auction.

"Good." Aizen nodded slightly while smiling behind his half-face mask.

But as soon as that brief conversation reached its decision, the arena floor started rumbling as if something was going to happen.

They immediately went into ambush alert mode again, but nothing happened even after a moment other than a rumbling sound from the floor they were stepping on.

Aizen immediately checked up to a distance of 2 kilometers under him with a scanning system but he found nothing useful or anything strange.

"What was that about?" Lin Yu asked while looking around confusedly.

Before anyone could answer Lin Yu's confusion, the floor they all stood on suddenly collapsed into the dark abyss directly below them.

"Aahhhh!!"

"Aahh!!"

"We're falling!!"

The girls shouted in surprise which immediately turned into screams of despair when they saw them fall into a bottomless dark abyss.

Aizen immediately tried to manipulate gravity to support them all, but it didn't last long until the technique ended up being useless as the dark abyss below seemed to be pulling them tight.

He immediately rushed over to Ana and Axel and embraced them before they all plunged into a dark abyss.

'Master Aizen! Any flying techniques can't be used!' Axel called out in her mind.

'We fell into the dark abyss!' Ana cried out in fear as she hugged Aizen tightly.

'Yes, I know. Hold me tight so we don't separate later, these ancient ruins are very mysterious.' Aizen says so seriously while hugging them both tightly and being hugged back by the two of them.

Then, he looked at the other girl who had also fallen freely into the dark abyss right next to him.

"Don't use it, the dark abyss below pulls us tight. Your treasure and your pet can't help you." Aizen exclaimed the moment he saw Lin Yu and Feng Zhi about to use their method of flight with Snow Lotus and Sky Phoenix.

"Squak!" Sky Phoenix felt insulted that its wings could not make it fly and could only fall with its master.

Lin Yu and Feng Zhi who heard that immediately canceled their intention, and allowed themselves to fall down while trying to make their junior sisters no longer scream in despair.

At least the six of them would be at ease if Aizen's group is still calm. They assume they will be fine as long as Aizen's group is still around.
