Chapter 1183

Along the way, Gu Ding and the others did not encounter any obstacles.

Under the Purgatory Demon Tree's devouring, all the plant gremlins withered. Withered leaves and flowers fell all over the ground.

"The notification earlier said that there's a surprise in front of the gate at the end of the fourth stage. I wonder what it is," Gu Ding muttered when they were about to reach the gate.

"Whatever it is, those of us who don't have a main slot can only join in the fun." Lilliath curled her lips.

In the fourth stage, only five people with a main slot could open the bronze gate at the end.

In the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, only Gu Ding and Elsa had a main slot. The others were just subsidiary slots. Therefore, their King's Path could only stop at the bronze gate at the end of the fourth stage.

The group soon saw the twelve bronze gates in the distance. Each gate was more than ten thousand meters tall and covered with Heavenly Path Sigils. They looked simple and mysterious.

When they arrived at the area where the gates were, Gu Ding and the others felt a strong and heavy aura. It felt as if the twelve gates had existed since ancient times and had witnessed generations of heaven-defying powerhouses breaking through.

Even Gu Ding, who had always been uninhibited, showed a solemn expression in front of the twelve gates. He felt dizzy just by looking at the Heavenly Path Sigils on the gates. It was completely beyond the scope of his deduction.

Even Neptune only took a glance and immediately lowered his head. It was obvious that he was also affected.

On the contrary, Lilliath and the others who had not come into contact with the Heavenly Path Sigils did not feel any discomfort when they looked at the bronze gates from top to bottom.

Not far away, Gu Ding soon saw a familiar face — Sonya.

Sonya was sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating, and not far away from her was a corpse.

Gu Ding looked over and saw that it was Rong Ye from the Wargod Palace.

Sensing the arrival of Gu Ding and the others, Sonya slowly opened her eyes and met Gu Ding's gaze.

Gu Ding appeared in front of her in a flash. "How did Rong Ye die? What happened? "

"He was killed by me. All people from the Wargod Palace deserve to die!" Sonya glanced coldly at Rong Ye's corpse not far away.

"You killed him?"

Gu Ding did not quite believe it because Sonya had just become a Holy Ruler. Logically speaking, she should not be a match for Rong Ye. Moreover, Rong Ye had just recovered from all his injuries and was in peak combat condition. Even if he really wasn't a match for Suo Ya, with his strength, it was impossible that he couldn't even escape.

"He was injured in the battle with the gatekeeper. I took the opportunity to ambush him and kill him." Sonya did not intend to hide anything.

Gu Ding was not in a position to comment on this. After all, it was the Wargod Palace that destroyed the Myriad Dao Divine Palace that Suo Ya grew up in and slaughtered everyone. It was normal for her to have hatred in her heart.

Although Gu Ding did not want Sonya to be blinded by hatred, he knew that he was at most an ordinary friend to Sonya. He might not even be considered a friend. No matter what he said, the other party wouldn't listen.

"What about Angelina and Koder?" Gu Ding changed the subject.

"Angelina defeated the gatekeeper and entered. Kou De took Rong Ye's token and entered through the door that Rong Ye opened. The gatekeeper of the door I chose is very strong. I have no way of breaking through for now. So, I'm going to stay here and cultivate for a few days to see if I can make a breakthrough in my strength. "Suo Ya told him everything she knew.

"Didn't the prompt say that there would be a surprise before we broke through? What was the surprise? "Gu Ding suddenly remembered and asked quickly.

"There was no surprise, only a scare …" Sonya smiled bitterly and shook her head. "The surprise she mentioned should be that after the token is inserted into the door, the gatekeeper will appear."

"To be able to injure Rong Ye and stop you here, the gatekeeper should be a Holy King Level powerhouse, right?" Gu Ding could not guess the gatekeeper's strength.

"That's right. The gatekeepers are all Holy King Level powerhouses. Only by defeating the gatekeeper will the bronze door open."

Sonia nodded and added, "Don't worry.

"The main token can open any of the twelve doors. However, the door that has been opened by someone in the same batch of assessment cannot be opened a second time. Moreover, everyone only has one chance to choose the door. Once the token is inserted into the door, it can't be removed. So, there is no second chance to choose the opponent. "

"I understand. Thank you!" Gu Ding smiled and nodded at Sonya.

"If you hadn't carried me near the Monster Tree to absorb life energy a few days ago, I might have fallen on King's Path by now. It would have been impossible for me to break through to Holy King Level." Sonya was a woman who clearly distinguished between kindness and grudges. She would repay any enmity and kindness.

Looking at Sonya in her silver armor, Gu Ding could not help but say, "Sonya, if you want to join a pirate crew, you should consider our crew."

Gu Ding did not want to comment on Kohld Blood in front of Sonya. After all, it was not in his character to gossip behind someone's back.

"There are some things that are not convenient for you to say. I understand." Sonya laughed after hearing that.

"Kohld Blood is indeed not a good person. I've always been wary of him. So, I didn't join his crew. I'm only working with him. At least for now, my goal is the same as his, which is to wipe out Wargod Palace. When this mission is completed, or rather, if this mission can be completed, I will part ways with him. When that time comes, I'll consider where I should go next. If I really have nowhere else to go, it's not impossible to join you. However, it's not suitable for me to join you now because Kohld and I are the same type of person. We're both avengers. Our hearts can't hold anything but hatred … "Sonya shook her head helplessly.

Gu Ding did not try to dissuade her further because he knew it was useless. He put himself in Sonya's shoes. If all the members of Gu Ding's crew were killed by someone from another force, he would definitely go crazy and take revenge. No one would be able to dissuade him.

When his crew returned from Sonya's side, a group of people immediately gathered around them.

"What happened to Rong Ye's body?" Neptune asked immediately.

Gu Ding relayed what Sonya had said. After listening to it, everyone fell silent for a moment.

After all, Sonya was also a pitiful person.

"Elsa, get into shape. We'll each choose a door later!" Gu Ding said to Elsa.

Elsa nodded. After listening to Gu Ding's story about the gatekeeper, she also knew that it would not be easy to pass through the gatekeeper's door. She would have a higher chance of winning if she was in peak condition.

Seeing Elsa sit down cross-legged, Gu Ding turned to Biggie and the others. "You guys can send me here. It's a waste of time to stay here anyway. It's better to withdraw from the assessment as soon as possible."

"Gu Ding, watching you guys fight with the gatekeeper is also a kind of cultivation. Are you in such a hurry to chase us away because you're afraid of embarrassing yourself if you can't beat the gatekeeper? "Lilliath teased.

Naturally, she did not think that Gu Ding would lose. After all, even the mutated Purgatory Demon Tree was defeated by Gu Ding. Moreover, the gatekeeper here could even beat Angelina, let alone Gu Ding who was much stronger than Angelina.

"Alright, you guys can stay. I'm just afraid you'll get bored with me." Gu Ding shook his head helplessly. Then, he sat down and began to get into shape.
