Gu Heng tidied himself up and continued walking, but after walking for another half an hour, he stopped.
Because, without realizing it, he had already arrived at the edge of this enormous, maze-like city that had sprung up from the ground!
The Ancient Secret Palace was already within reach. Although it was in the center of this labyrinthine city, it seemed to be only two or three miles away. Looking at the magnificent palace with its shimmering glass and pearls, Gu Heng couldn't help but sigh deeply. The Ancient Secret Palace was indeed incredibly beautiful.
After all, Gu Heng brought Qin Yiyao here so that the little girl could have fun and at least broaden her horizons.
Even just looking at the outer exterior of this magnificent palace made Gu Heng realize he was truly a country bumpkin; the interior must be even more breathtaking. It was just a little strange, though, why was there such a thick fog shrouding this labyrinthine city?
The Ancient Crocodile Mountains are sunny and dry, so this fog doesn't seem to have appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Heng looked around, and suddenly...
He smelled a fragrance in the air!
Gu Heng recognized the scent; it was the sachet he had given to the little girl!
Looking at the ground, there were also footprints left by Qin Yiyao in the soil. Continuing inwards, it was clear that Qin Yiyao had not encountered any danger and had walked directly here.
Oh dear, the little girl is lucky. She walked all the way here by herself. She kept encountering wild animals on the way, which was quite annoying.
Gu Heng put away his bow and arrows, and then straightened his somewhat disheveled robes.
Alright, now that Qin Yiyao has arrived, he should go in. After seeing just how beautiful this Ancient Secret Palace is, Gu Heng plans to take her directly back to Sunflame Capital, bring his demon cat along, and then everyone will return to Cloud Spirit City.
After a few days of travel, it's time to go back and take care of those businesses, even though the clinic itself doesn't have much business to speak of...
With that thought in mind, Gu Heng stepped into the mist.
……
There is a relatively low-lying but still open area in the Ancient Crocodile Mountains.
Some of the monks have regrouped.
The sudden incursion of the Stone Vein Demon Emperor and a large number of demon spirits caused enormous losses and chaos. However, since everyone involved came from extraordinary forces, they were at least well-trained, unlike the scattered cultivators who fled in disarray and fought their own battles.
In the end, the forces from several extraordinary powers regrouped, this time led by the Central Continent Dynasty and the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.
“Everyone, it’s time for us to set off,” said the seventeenth prince, Xuanyuan Sheng.
“We have been stationed here for several hours, and all the invading demons have been killed. There has been no follow-up. The Stone Vein Demon King has probably gone to other parts of the mountain range to search.”
"Now is the best time for us to set off for the Ancient Secret Palace!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
indeed.
After they regrouped, they did not act rashly for safety reasons. First, they killed many of the demon spirits that had followed them, and then they sent people to patrol in shifts to prevent the Stone Vein Demon Emperor from sneaking over again.
Because their spiritual senses were blocked, they couldn't perceive threats from a great distance, which was quite frustrating for everyone.
"What if the Stone Vein Demon Emperor is nearby?"
There were still some dissenting voices. But Xuan Yuansheng's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Even if you are here, you have to go over there quickly. No one knows how long this Ancient Secret Palace has existed. If it disappears later, none of us here will be able to obtain any opportunities!"
"Besides, people from other forces may have already set off by now. We can't just sit here and wait any longer."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, what is even more unacceptable than dying in the belly of a monster is that others benefit while they, because of their hesitation, can't even get a taste of the fresh shit.
Other forces are probably already very close to the Ancient Secret Palace.
Anyway, the monsters' activities have gradually stopped, and they are probably scattered throughout the mountains now. They are not afraid of encountering lone monsters, but encountering the Stone Vein Demon Emperor is the problem.
But that's where the gamble begins.
"Alright, let's set off then!" Standing next to the Prajna Swordsman, Qiu Qinglu silently watched the impassioned prince of Zhongzhou and pursed her lips.
“Let’s go too. We can’t go back empty-handed. The sect leader has already learned about the emergence of the maze. If we return empty-handed, the sect leader probably won’t be happy.”
Elder Baili, who was in charge of leading the Wanjian Immortal Sect team, said this.
Since both the Central Continent Dynasty and the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect had said so, the other personnel under their command also began to take action.
Soon, the group set off in a grand procession.
Qiu Qinglu served as the vanguard, flying in the air with Elder Baili and other Mahayana cultivators. If they encountered any demonic beasts, they would be responsible for taking action.
She was somewhat absent-minded throughout the journey.
I wonder if that mortal survived.
But quite some time has passed. He was lucky before, but he probably won't be so lucky now. Thinking of this...
Qiu Qinglu felt it was a bit of a pity.
However, in an instant, Elder Baili beside her exclaimed in surprise, and then said to her, "How come there are so many monster corpses down there... Elder Qiu, go and take a look."
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, Qiu Qinglu immediately descended, and the scene before her made her take a deep breath.
The corpses of more than a dozen demon spirits!
Moreover, they all died from being blown to the head by arrows!
Qiu Qinglu immediately recalled the fierce boar demon spirit that had been killed in one blow.
They're exactly the same!
"There is a situation!"
Qiu Qinglu immediately called out and summoned Elder Baili down as well. When Elder Baili arrived, he frowned upon seeing the clean and tidy deaths of the dozen or so demon spirits on the ground.
Someone shot an arrow and killed these Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts...
But it wasn't until he saw the arrows stuck in the heads of the demons that he realized what was happening.
Qiu Qinglu watched as Elder Baili's face suddenly turned pale.
"This...this is a sacred item?!"
