"what happened?"

Tie Ying felt anxious, and he and Xu Rong quickened their pace and arrived at a huge stone room.

The four people who came to the stone room first stood back to back and looked around warily.

Gao Han still looked very calm and said expressionlessly: "There was a black shadow passing in front of us just now, and there is no other exit here except the passage we came in, so it is most likely a ghost."

Even the creepy ghosts seemed to have nothing special in his mouth.

Tie Ying suddenly said: "That's it, but don't be too afraid. People like us who are strong in martial arts and full of energy and blood are no different from the scorching sun to ordinary ghosts, so it's not that we are afraid of them, but they should be

They are afraid of us."

At this moment, Xu Rong's eyes moved slightly, and through the soul-eating beads, he noticed the location of the ghost.

In this stone chamber, there is a stone statue near the wall opposite the passage.

This stone statue, like the old woman in the painting just outside, cannot see her face clearly, but compared to that painting, this stone statue looks a little strange.

Xu Rong walked towards the stone statue, and with a thought, ghosts were swallowed up by the soul-eating beads.

So far, the Soul-Eating Orb can only swallow souls within a distance of about two meters with Xu Rong as the center, so Xu Rong will only move closer before activating the Soul-Eating Orb.

And when all these ghosts were swallowed by the soul-eating beads, Xu Rong suddenly discovered that the soul-eating beads were nearly half filled with soul power.

In other words, he is not far away from absorbing soul fragments next time, and he will definitely make progress by then.

'The soul-eating beads absorbed these ghosts, and suddenly gained so much soul power that they can rival fifty or sixty ordinary ghosts.'

After most people die, their souls will dissipate.

The warriors probably have a stronger will and their qi and blood are warm and nourished, so they can survive for a few more days.

According to the level of cultivation, the degree of solidification of the soul is different, and the number of days of existence is also different.

And these ghosts have obviously been here for many days. It is normal for them to be stronger than ordinary ghosts, and they contribute much more soul power than ordinary ghosts.

Apart from this statue, there is nothing else in this stone chamber. It seems to be a secret gathering place.

After Xu Rong dealt with the ghost, he looked at the stone wall.

There are many paintings painted on the stone walls, most of which depict scenes of worshiping this inanimate old mother.

These murals look quite old.

Xu Rong remembered what Tie Ying had not finished saying just now, and suddenly understood.

From these murals, it can be seen that the White Lotus Sect has been here for a long time.

Tie Ying saw that Xu Rong looked at the statue of the Wusheng Mother and seemed not to be afraid of ghosts at all, so he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Xu Rong turned her head and looked at him: "What's the use of being afraid? If we are afraid, the ghosts won't look for us? Didn't you just say that the ghosts are afraid of us?"

Tie Ying nodded slightly: "That's right, but even so, your courage is rare."

Ghosts are not something you are afraid of just because you say you are not afraid of them. It is mainly a matter of mentality.

At this time, Tie Ying suddenly said: "You guys stand aside, I will burn this stone chamber with my blood."

Xu Rong followed the other four people and stood near the entrance, and then felt a wave of heat hitting his face.

At this time, Iron Eagle was like a big furnace, exuding fluctuations of Qi and blood, and the warm feeling even removed the dampness in the stone room.

"With such strong and solid Qi and blood, could it be that he is already in the Blood Furnace realm?"

Xu Rong looked at Tie Ying in surprise.

He knew that Tie Ying was very strong, but he had previously thought that Tie Ying was a warrior in the blood exchange realm, but he did not expect that he was actually in the blood furnace realm.

This was Xu Rong's first time seeing a living Blood Furnace Realm warrior.

After a while, Tie Ying gathered his energy and blood, then frowned and looked around.

He didn't feel the presence of any ghost just now.

"Strange, could it be that the ghost has escaped?"

Ghosts have the ability to become invisible and pass through walls, so even if they escape, it is not impossible.

He believed that what Gao Han really saw just now was not an illusion.

"Then let's search it and see if there's anything found in this stone room?"

Xu Rong came to the statue again to check if there was anything unusual nearby.

Logically speaking, there should be something extraordinary about this statue if it could be chosen as a hiding place by these ghosts.

But Xu Rong checked it many times, almost smashing the stone statue, and found nothing special.

Others also gained nothing.

Tie Ying looked up at the top of his head: "Judging from these murals, the White Lotus Sect has been rooted here for some years. The more so, the harder it will be for the White Lotus Sect to leave this place completely. Presumably, there is a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect in this town.

People are paying attention to our movements."

Gao Han asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Compared to Tie Ying's rich experience, Gao Han seemed to have relatively less experience, which made Xu Rong a little strange.

'Perhaps it's because Gao Han is much younger?'

Just looking at his appearance, Gao Han is probably in his mid-twenties, while Tie Ying is obviously in his forties.

"Next, we just need to continue to stay in this town for two days step by step."

A mysterious smile appeared on Tie Ying's tough face, and his confident look made others trust him.

Gao Han nodded slightly: "Well, I haven't found anything here. Let's go out first."

At this moment, Xu Rong suddenly flew forward and kicked the statue down.

With a bang, the statue hit the ground, causing a lot of smoke and dust, and the statue broke into several pieces.

"Xu Rong, what are you doing?"

Tie Ying stared at Xu Rong who suddenly made a huge noise, and couldn't help but fan his face with his hands to avoid inhaling dust.

"I feel that this stone statue is a little weird, so I'm going to dismantle it."

Xu Rong crushed these large rocks and suddenly made a discovery.

He bent down and picked up a black object about the size of two fists.

The ice was cold, and a chill spread up his arm.

With a thought in Xu Rong's mind, the power of Qi and blood poured into his arms, dissolving the cold breath.

Such anomalies made Xu Rong even more convinced that this dark, metal thing seemed to be extraordinary.

Tie Ying let out a light sigh, and his eyes fell on the black object in Xu Rong's hand: "It turned out to be Xuanyin Iron. I didn't expect that there was such a thing in this stone statue."
