“Why are you guys here?” Qu Linggui stared at his eyes and asked in shock and exasperation. His question was impolite, as if Xia Ping ‘an and Tong Yemu were not qualified to be here. After asking this question, Qu Linggui stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. Then, his broken arm quickly grew back, and his entire person was as good as new in a moment.
“Hehehe, if someone like you can come in, we can naturally come in too, right?”Tong Yemu winked at Xia Pingan.” Besides, we’ve already come in. There are still some treasures in this hall. It’s no longer your turn!”
Xia Ping ‘an did not say anything. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qu Linggui. The murderous intent and malevolence that flashed across the old man’s eyes when he first saw him did not escape Xia Ping’ an’s eyes. If only he and this old man were here, this old man might have already attacked him. It was because Qu Linggui was here that Qu Linggui restrained himself.
Hearing Tong Yemu say that there was a treasure here that someone else had taken away before him, Qu Linggui’s eyes turned sharp. His gaze swept across the hall, and then on Xia Ping ‘an and Tong Yemu’s faces. He sneered,”Tong Yemu, you’re still far from being able to lie. This won’t anger me. With your temper, if you really got a treasure here, you wouldn’t just talk about it. I’m afraid that you wouldn’t be able to resist taking it out.” If that treasure was too precious, you wouldn’t have let me know!”
“Hehehe, you old thing, you’re indeed cunning. I can’t even fool you like this!”After Tong Ye Mu finished speaking, he could not be bothered with Qu Linggui anymore. He closed his eyes and continued to meditate. At the same time, he sent a message to Xia Ping ‘an,” Child, don’t worry. With me around, this old thing won’t dare to do anything to you!”
The other party had good intentions, so Xia Ping ‘an could only reply with a voice transmission,” Thank you, Senior!”
After recovering for a moment, Qu Linggui quickly walked around the hall and observed the environment. He also noticed the old man who was sitting with his eyes closed inside the light screen. His heart trembled slightly, and he immediately put on a respectful expression and went forward to greet him.” Junior Qu Linggui greets senior. Senior, are you the person who spoke to us outside the Extreme King Palace just now?”
The old man opened his eyes and nodded at Qu Linggui.
“It looks like Senior is trapped inside this screen of light. I wonder what Junior can do to help Senior solve this problem!”
Unexpectedly, the old man sneered and looked at Qu Linggui with disdain.” I hate hypocritical and cunning people the most. You clearly want to get information about the hall and the secret of the altar from me, but you pretend to care about me. This light screen can even trap me, a level 17 Hierarch God, and you, a level 9 Hierarch God, still pretend to help me. If I had my temper in the past, someone like you would dare to deceive me. I’ll turn you into an Yin Corpse and make you wish you were dead!”
Hearing this, Tong Yemu burst out laughing. Before this, Tong Yemu thought that this senior had a bad temper and couldn’t be bothered with him, but after seeing Qu Linggui’s treatment, Tong Yemu realized that this senior was still polite to him. At least he didn’t embarrass him in front of him.
“Senior is right in judging people. This old ghost is the most sinister and hypocritical. Senior must not be deceived by him!”Tong Yemu added fuel to the fire.
Qu Linggui’s expression was extremely stiff, but he still forced a smile. He glanced at Xia Ping ‘an and Tong Yemu with a trace of hatred in his eyes, thinking that Xia Ping’ an and Tong Yemu had said something bad about him in front of this senior before. He hurriedly explained,” This is the first time we’ve met, so I don’t know why senior has such a deep misunderstanding about me. Senior, please don’t listen to the words of those despicable people. Although my cultivation is not as high as senior’s, I’m quite proficient in mechanisms and formations. This hall in front of me is obviously not simple. Perhaps if senior tells me some useful information, I can help senior escape?” “Hahaha, you think you can save me? Ridiculous. Even if I let you stay here for tens of thousands of years, you probably won’t be able to see the mysteries of this hall!”The old man laughed and pointed at the moving walls around the hall.” There are many mysteries on the walls. If you can understand the mysteries on the walls, you might have a chance to get the treasure box in the hall. It depends on your ability!””
“Thank you for your guidance, Senior!” Qu Linggui looked at the wall and then at the light screen.” This light screen is a little strange. Is Senior unable to destroy it?”
“If you can destroy anything in this hall, you can take the treasure box on the altar!”
Qu Linggui didn’t make a move either. He only stomped his feet on the ground twice and found that there was no reaction from the hall. His expression changed slightly and he quickly retreated. He came to a wall and touched it, seriously studying the moving sculptures on the wall.
In less than half an hour, a light flashed in the hall and another person entered. However, this person was wearing a bronze toad mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly. He was also wearing a black cloak, making him seem rather mysterious. The aura on this person was not inferior to Tong Ye, Mu Qu, or Ling Gui.
After this person came in, he glanced around the hall without saying a word. Then, he came to a corner and stood there quietly, observing the moving patterns on the wall with vigilance.
“Hahaha, another Rank Nine Hierarch has come in, and he’s deliberately covering his face. Interesting!”Tong Yemu teased,” I more or less know all the Rank Nine Supreme God Realm experts who often hang out in the Spirit Desolate Mystic Realm. Looking at you, you should have just arrived in the Spirit Desolate Mystic Realm from another outer region!”
“I won’t offend others if they don’t offend me!” The person only replied in a voice that could not be distinguished from a man or a woman.
“Back then, there was a stone tablet in Youming City that recorded the situation in the Imperial Palace. From the looks of it, you didn’t say a word after you came in. You should have seen the contents of the stone tablet and already know where this place is!”Unexpectedly, the old man who was trapped by the light curtain looked at the mysterious person who had just entered and took the initiative to ask.
The mysterious man was silent for a few seconds before he slowly nodded.” I’ve seen that stone tablet in the secret warehouse of a certain sect, so 1 specially came to try my luck this time!”
Less than ten minutes after this person entered, another light flashed. It was Mi Luo.
Mi Luo still looked like a fairy. Her long dress fluttered in the wind, and she didn’t look like she was in a sorry state at all. Her beautiful eyes that were as bright as stars swept across the room and she immediately saw Xia Pingan. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she quickly came to Xia Pingan’s side and sized him up from head to toe.” That’s great. Are you okay?”” “I’m fine!” Xia Pingan shook his head.” Are you alright?”
“I was delayed for a while at one of the stages, but the rest is fine. Oh right, I received a message from Xiqing. She’s fine, but she was teleported out of the Serpent God Cave at the fourth stage!”
“It’s good that she’s fine!”
“Little girl, is this your wife?”The voice of the old man who was trapped in the light beam rang out. As soon as the old man spoke, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Xia Ping ‘an and Mi Luo.” Your wife is not bad looking, and she’s very capable. She’s a good match for you!”
When Mi Luo heard this, her cheeks blushed slightly and she looked at Xia Pingan with a special gaze.
“Cough cough, senior, this is my friend, Mi Luo! “Xia Ping ‘an explained, then quickly transmitted the situation in the hall to Mi Luo.
“Hehehe, I’m not blind. You’ll know in the future whether I’m your wife or not!”the old man said stubbornly.
A few days after Mi Luo’s arrival, more and more experts entered the hall. The experts who entered were at least Rank Eight God Venerables, while the others were at least Rank Nine or Rank Ten God Venerables. Some of these people were famous, while others hid their true identities.
In just half a month, the number of experts gathered in the hall had already exceeded 20. As more and more people came, some of them chatted with the trapped old man. Gradually, everyone knew what was going on in the hall. Moreover, the people in the hall restrained each other. The hall became strangely quiet. Everyone was studying the mysteries of the moving sculptures on the wall and waiting for the right opportunity.
Under such an atmosphere, 39 days passed in the blink of an eye..
