Ji Yaohua opened her mouth, then sullenly closed it and stepped back.
He gently bumped Yao Xinghai’s shoulder, muttering to him, "I find that guy somewhat resembles you."
Yao Xinghai was puzzled, lifted his gaze to glance at Huangfu Huan. The latter, seeing him look over, nodded. Yao Xinghai also paused, then smiled and nodded back, as a mutual greeting.
Then, he turned to Ji Yaohua and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ji Yaohua pouted and said, "You’re both the type to keep things bottled up inside, not even ten strikes would get a single truth out of you."
"..." Yao Xinghai was at a loss, caught between laughter and tears.
Seeing Ji Yaohua walk back to Ying Ze with a face full of disdain, he called out in his heart feeling wronged. He was clearly very frank and honest in front of them! Even if he had some scheming, he didn’t use it on them!
"Stay close." Long Sheng the elder said a word, holding Xuxu’s hand, taking a step forward.
Mu Qingge followed closely, taking a step, then her vision blurred, as if she had stepped into another space.
Soon, other people appeared behind her.
Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze, Wei Molili, Yao Xinghai, Xi Qianxue, Huangfu Huan, Shen Bicheng, and those hundreds of demon cultivators.
"What is this place?"
"It seems like a massive hall!"
"Is it the underground palace?"
"Such an expansive hall... hall... hall... hall..."
The echoes of the crowd’s exclamations reverberated continuously.
Mu Qingge surveyed the scene, finally resting her gaze on Long Sheng the elder.
Long Sheng the elder said, "This is within the Primordial Venerable Tomb’s area, but there’s still some distance to the heart of the tomb. From now on, be cautious."
Cautious?
Mu Qingge became alert in her heart.
This was an expansive hall. Above, jewels embedded resembled stars. The ground was divided into squares, with unknown purpose.
"I am not fully aware of what kinds of mechanisms and what array formations or restrictions are set inside the Primordial Venerable Tomb. But, I can imagine it won’t be simple," Long Sheng the elder added.
To this, Mu Qingge wasn’t too surprised.
If Long Sheng the elder knew everything about the Primordial Venerable Tomb in detail, then she would be suspicious.
"Watch your step," Mu Qingge instructed those behind her.
The crowd, shocked by the scene before them, finally gathered their spirits, paying attention to the surroundings.
Long Sheng the elder thought for a moment, then threw his Dragon Head Staff. The Dragon Head Staff spiraled around the massive hall, circled once, then returned to Long Sheng the elder’s hand.
A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. He murmured, "Seems like there’s nothing wrong?"
Mu Qingge looked at him, her eyes slightly narrowed, lips pressed but remained silent.
Too calm, seemed unusual.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the ground, startling everyone.
Immediately, before they could react to what was happening, the floor made of squares began collapsing piece by piece towards Mu Qingge and the others.
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, raising her hand to command the crowd, "Retreat quickly!"
The crowd retreated continuously, highly alert.
The squares collapsed, revealing abyssal chasms underneath, as if flames were swirling below, or perhaps something horrifying was being nurtured.
Yet, before they could glimpse the dangerous aura emanating from below, beams of golden light shot down from the dome like raindrops.
The anomaly in the air caused everyone in the hall to look up in wonder.
The golden lights, falling like hair-thin threads, sent a chill through everyone’s hearts. Even Long Sheng the elder widened his eyes suddenly upon seeing it, shielding Xuxu and shouting, "Quick! Don’t let these golden lights touch you!"
His words were very timely.
Hundreds of people immediately used their spiritual power to form a canopy of light above their heads, repelling the hair-thin golden lights.
The golden lights, crackling against the light shields, brought an erosive sensation to those sustaining the shields, greatly increasing their pressure.
Hundreds of people gathered together, uniting to resist.
Various spiritual powers fused, forming a dome-like light shield, protecting everyone within.
However, the golden lights descending from above grew increasingly fierce, doubling in number and speed, determined not to cease until their defenses were broken.
Mu Qingge and the others, protected in the center, surrounded by demon cultivators.
"What on earth are these?" Ji Yaohua was stunned, looking at those golden lights falling from the heavens, and couldn’t help but ask.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingge turned her heavy gaze toward Long Sheng the elder. It was him who had issued the warning...
"Don’t look at me, I said from the start, I don’t know what traps or mechanisms are inside," Long Sheng the elder read Mu Qingge’s questioning eyes, immediately explaining.
However, such an explanation did not satisfy Mu Qingge.
Her clear eyes tightly watched Long Sheng the elder, not letting him avoid her gaze for a moment.
Under her scrutiny, Long Sheng the elder was forced to add, "I just sensed a danger in those golden lights, so I warned you."
