Chapter 293: Divided

Gradually, under everyone's stares filled with helplessness, Fan En and Fan Ni left the thousand kilometer radius while moving about as fast as they could. Once they passed that line, both of them used their full strength to slowly jog into the jungle, disappearing from everyone's vision.
"Wait for me… I will quickly come over!"
Fan Qing also quickly crawled out of radius, but suddenly, a lily-white hand grabbed his ankle.
Immediately, his hope of escaping was extinguished.
When everyone saw what happened, they were extremely astonished. During the last stretch, Xie Qianxue had surpassed Man Tian and the others. She rushed in front of them and grabbed Fan Qing, who had just went past the five hundred meter boundary of the core pressure zone and dragged him back.
Instantly, Fan Qing's face turned deathly pale. Regardless of how much he struggled, he couldn't crawl even half an inch forward. Soon, Man Tian and his group also caught up with them.
"Traitor, even if you die a million times, my hatred won't be quenched."
Coiling Tiger threw one punch after another toward Fan Qing, but under the formidable pressure, it was as if his action had been slowed down by several folds, losing all strength.
Gradually, more and more descenders crawled to the boundary of the core pressure zone and Fan Qing stopped struggling; he knew that his death was now certain.
After a long time had passed, night fell.
Within this region filled with endless trees, the group of descenders was finally able to struggle out of the pressure zone. By then, they were exhausted.
When they turned around to take a look, they found that the distance from the location they had descended to their current position was three kilometers.
After crossing this region, fear still lingered in everyone's hearts. The formless pressure had simply been too terrifying. Even after crossing three kilometers, everyone could still sense a weak suppression, forcing them to fight back to remain standing.
Fan Qing, or Ye Qing, was filled with despair at this moment as he was being dragged with his hands tied behind his back.
When the group crossed a few more kilometers, the pressure finally completely disappeared, and the unknown threat couldn't be seen anymore.
A mysterious expression flashed through Zhan Wuya's face, and he took the initiative to ask, "What should we do with him?"
Fan En and Fan Ni, because of descending a moment earlier, had already ran away, disappearing without a trace. Thus, all the descenders were gloomy.
It was a really bad beginning.
Two people had escaped, meaning that the secret of their Fifty-fifth Earth as well as the information about their group would certainly reach the ears of those from other planes.
But since the matter had already reached this point, everyone could only accept facts as they were.
"How can you still ask that? Just put him to death," Coiling Tiger said ruthlessly. The barbarian race possessed greatest hatred toward traitors, especially people like Ye Qing and his group who had tried to play with the fate of all of the humanity.
But not everyone was as straight as Coiling Tiger. At this instant, many others had indecisive expressions on their faces, showing that there were different opinions about how to deal with Ye Qing.
"He certainly must die. However, since Divine Religion had planned for so long, I think they should know something about the main world which we're not aware of. I suggest that we all interrogate him. Perhaps we might gain some unexpected harvests," Ruyan Lanshi suggested.
She glanced slightly towards Xie Qianxue and then Li Yunmu.
Strictly speaking, the reason why they could turn the situation this time was because of these two people. Zhan Wuya clearly understood this point and immediately said, "In order to be fair, we should interrogate him publicly. However, this time, the situation was reversed because of our Central Continent's people. Therefore, the final say regarding Ye Qing's fate should also be taken by the people of the Central Continent."
Once Zhan Wuya's said that, the atmosphere within the group became muddled.
"Zhan Wuya, what do you mean? We are all from the same earth, thus we should advance and retreat jointly. Since Divine Religion knew about some secrets of the origin world, we as one group should all hear about it," Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang said calmly.
"That's right, Ye Qing's fate as well as the secrets he hides, every one of us should be qualified to learn about them," Zhao Mei, the rogue female fluxer, said without retreating in the slightest.
At her side were Xiye Hanbei, Fan Kon, as well as two other rogue descenders, vaguely forming a faction.
When everyone secretly glanced at them, they were somewhat startled. At some point in time, the rogue fluxers had all grouped together around Xiye Hanbei, forming a faction whose strength couldn't be ignored.
Xiye Hanbei, Fan Kong, and even Zhao Mei—none of them were weak. Soon, the atmosphere in the place changed.
Not far from them, Man Tian, Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang, Coiling Tiger, Tyrant Jiang, who had shown unprecedented unity, were genuinely acting as one.
They all belonged to the Barbarian Continent and were all disciples of Barbarian Kings. They were acting in great coordination, and each of them was extremely formidable, making them a great power.
On Hai Yue's side, there was a nearly three meter tall person as well as two youths who were around twenty years old, forming another faction.
Apart from that, Higher Dimensional Continent's Devil Blade was standing alone, emitting a pressure which seemed to convey that strangers shouldn't come closer. He was silently reclining against a tree.
Lu Bu and Ruyan Lanzhi as well as a person from the Dong Clan of the Higher Dimensional Continent, together with a girl who had a green serpent coiling around her arm, had also come together at some point of time.
They weren't too far from Devil Blade, but weren't standing together. It gave off a feeling that the Higher Dimensional Continent had divided into two factions. They didn't seem to be cooperating, but didn't seem to have completely broken contact, either.
As for Northern Continent, because of Huan Beichen going missing, their strength had undoubtedly weakened. Their faction had two men and two women, but none of them was an Overlord.
However, since they could reach this stage, their strength was definitely extraordinary. Still, losing Huan Beichen, the disciple of Frontline God, had left them the weakest of all factions.
Li Yunmu and Xie Qianxue glanced at each other. Both of them could feel that after escaping the suppression zone, the feeling of unity within their large group had gradually disappeared.
Especially at this instant, when Zhan Wuya gave the authority over Ye Qing's fate to Central Continent's faction in a domineering fashion. It provoked an intense backlash from the other five major factions.
After all, given that there wasn't anyone from Divine Religion, Central Continent had the biggest and most formidable faction.
It had Zhan Wuya, Ji Wuxin, Li Yunmu, Xiye Qianxue as well as Luo Tian, who had yet to speak. Furthermore, this kind of naming didn't even include the two followers behind Li Yunmu, Li Qinghong and Demon.
Thus, the faction of Central Continent had seven people in total! This made it the biggest faction in terms of the amount of members, and their power .
