Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Survivor

Translator: 549690339

At the entrance of the Endless Dungeon, people from all powers of the Qian Country had gathered. No one had left, all were waiting in silence for the return of the others.

In particular, people from the top three powers were the most nervous.

This time in the Endless Dungeon had lasted longer than usual. And the occurrence of unusual happenings made people even more uneasy.

Furthermore, many had fled from the Dungeon ended up severely injured. It was mostly people from the second and third-tier powers, as well as some independent martial artists.

These people had suffered heavy losses. Plenty had gone in, but only one out of ten had returned alive.

Even those who came back alive were injured without exception, demonstrating the severity of the situation.

Up until now, not a single person from the three major powers had come out. Those who escaped didn’t know where the people from the three major powers went, but they reported seeing many corpses of those from the three major powers.

This was not good news. Although the top powers had prepared for the worst, sighs and lamentations were unavoidable.

“This time in Endless Dungeon, more people have died than ever, almost wiping out the people from the second and third-tier powers.”

“Ah, isn’t that the truth? What on earth happened inside the dungeon that caused so many deaths?”

“According to those who came back alive, they encountered fire bugs, most of them were burned to death by those bugs.”

“Eh? Bugs that carry fire? That’s strange.”

“It’s said that a few people from the three major powers have also been burned.”

“It’s been so many days, how many people from the three major powers do you think will come out alive?”

“I think it’s bleak; complete annihilation is possible.”

“That can’t be! Those who went in from the top powers are not weak, it’s unlikely that none of them will survive.”

“Well, it’s hard to tell, if they encounter something dreadful, it’s quite normal for all of them to be killed.”

“Let’s wait some more, maybe we’ll see survivors from the top three powers.”

“Maybe some of them got some kind of miraculous fortune, I really want to see it.”

The crowd was discussing fervently, with all kinds of speculation flying around. Some speculated that everyone from the top powers had died and none of them could get out; others speculated that they must be trapped somewhere below.

In summary, most people were pessimistic about the move by the top three powers. After all, they had seen for themselves the miserable state of the second and third-tier powers and the scattered martial artists. No matter how much stronger the people dispatched by the top powers, the situation was likely to be dangerous.

Even the top powers themselves were becoming somewhat desperate, as time was ticking away, longer than ever before.

The longer one stayed in the Endless Dungeon, the higher the chance of dying.

If none came out, this venture into the Endless Dungeon would be a heavy blow for the top three powers.

After all, each of the top powers had sent their young talents inside, such as Li Tongtian and Li Youbing from the Li Family, Yang Pojun and Yang Qingyao from the royal family, and Qing Jianzi and Fang Lin from the Purple Mist Sect.

These people were rare talents. The top powers hoped that no matter what, these talented individuals must survive and come out, even if all the others died.

A few days ago, there was a violent vibration from within the Endless Dungeon. People on the ground could clearly feel it, indicating significant changes occurring beneath the Endless Dungeon.

After this vibration, the hearts of the people from the top powers hung in suspense. The vibration was likely triggered by their own people, implying that some of them were still alive.

However, after this vibration, who knew whether these people were dead or alive? There was a high chance that they had perished in this vibration.

On this day, people from the top powers were still waiting outside. Although they no longer held high expectations, they continued to wait in case there were any survivors.

“Hm? Look!” Suddenly, a disciple from the Li family yelled out, his face filled with surprise and ecstatic joy.

His voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention. People from the royal family and the Purple Mist Sect also turned their eyes in unison.

At the entrance, silhouettes were struggling to climb out. They were bloody and in a sorry state. Some were even carried out by others.

The one in the lead was actually Li Youbing. Her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, but she was alive at least.

Behind Li Youbing, were quite a few disciples from the Li family. After, people from the Purple Mist Sect and the royal family came out together, not a small number.

“They made it out! They’re finally out!”

“My God! They finally emerged!”

“Quick! Notify Xuan Prince!”

Without needing anyone to report, the leaders of the top three powers were soon alerted by the commotion. Xuan Prince Yang Hongyi, Yan Ze of the Purple Mist Sect, and Li Changhai from Li Family all arrived immediately, their expressions were particularly tense and grim.

The survivors from the top powers had finally emerged!

Outside, there was a surge of excitement. As those who had been waiting for a long time from the top powers came forward to receive their survivors. When they noticed the number of survivors, they all looked incredulous.

Half of the people from the top powers had survived.

This was beyond everyone’s expectations. Many speculated that only about ten or even as few as a handful of people from the top powers would survive.

But they didn’t expect to see so many return at once!

However, the figures of some key individuals were missing from the survivors. The most important ones didn’t make it out.

“What happened? Where is Tongtian?” Li Changhai was astonished seeing these disciples from the Li Family. The casualty count wasn’t high, but Li Tongtian was not among them.

On the other side, Yang Hongyi’s face was taut, “Where’s Pojun? Did he not make it out?”

The Purple Mist Sect saw a similar situation. Yan Ze looked very displeased; among their survivors, only twenty were from the Purple Mist Sect, eight of which were Pill Sect disciples, the rest were Martial Sect disciples.

The absence of Qing Jianzi and Fang Lin from the survivors almost made Yan Ze faint.

Though many people from the top powers survived, their top talents were nearly wiped out, none of them made it out.

Compared to the rest, the Li Family was in a relatively better situation since Li Youbing had survived.

The other two powers were more unfortunate. The royal family had lost a prince, and the Purple Mist Sect had lost two True Disciples.

For a moment, the three major powers were shrouded in gloom. Despite the sizable number of survivors, their losses were still devastatingly heavy.
