"Why is it red?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.
The Soul Gate in front of them was bright red and gave a very ominous vibe. There couldn't be a bigger warning that something very dangerous beyond that gate.
"It's a Red Soul Gate." Gao Suyin spoke in a low voice; her eyes were still fixated on the soul gate."
"I know it's Red...." Ye Tian Yun asked, "Why is it red, but not white?"
"It signifies the rank of the dungeon." Gao Suyin spoke, "There are nine dungeon ranks, and red signifies the second more dangerous rank - Calamity Rank dungeon."
Ye Tian Yun nodded in understanding and asked, "Why are we going in?"
Gao Suyin shrugged. She herself was unaware of the reason and was only going because she had no other choice.
Ye Tian Yun frowned at the whale staring at the back of the Third Prince Ye, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can you tell us why we're heading there?"
Third Prince Ye replied, "I am going there to clear your mess."
"Hm? What mess did we create?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Killing the Burning Wolf King."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "We had no choice in that. There was a quest, and to escape from this place, we had no other choice but to kill the Burning Wolf King."
Third Prince Ye nodded, "That is true. But you should have killed it."
"Are you saying both of us should have accepted our deaths?" Ye Tian Yun narrowed his eyes on the Prince.
"There was no other option." Third Prince Ye replied, "All these soul beasts, including the Scorching wolves on the First Floor, are like a lock on this place. And by killing them, you were weakening the lock. Don't you hear the explosions?"
"Yes," Both Ye Tian Yun and Gao Suyin nodded their heads.
"It's coming because the Soul Beast beyond the Red Soul Gate is trying to escape. It started when one of you killed the first Scorching Wolf."
Gao Suyin rubbed her nose and looked the other way.
Third Prince Ye continued to speak, "And then you people killed the Burning Wolf King, which had broken off one of the chains which are holding down the Soul Beast."
"Really?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised. Considering Third Prince Ye's identity, what was there in the Lower Heavens to restrain him? He was sure that even a Calamity rank dungeon's Soul Beast wouldn't be able to hold back Third Prince Ye.
"The matters are quite complicated," The Prince said, "Let's just say that I have to be here and help my Clan."
"Oh..." Ye Tian Yun slowly nodded.
There were a lot of questions in his mind right now, but he chose not to ask them because he was in Fang Chen's disguise.
'Wait...'
Suddenly, something dawned upon him.
'I am in Fang Chen's disguise!'
This was impossible!
Didn't his disguise change upon entering the dungeon earlier!?
He was confused, and instantly taking out a sword, he glanced at his reflection in it.
Sure enough, he was disguised as Fang Chen!
'What is going on?'
This was truly a surprise for him.
He then subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Gao Suyin.
If his disguise was still there... and he was in Fang Chen's disguise...
Then how was it possible that this young woman beside him didn't react at all to that!
'I even introduced myself as Fang Chen....'
She knew that his name was Ye Tian Yun...
But she didn't react at all!
He stared at the young woman as a very interesting suspicion formed in his mind.
