After Ling Shiyu made a solemn vow never to tell anything about them, Long Yuxuan let Ling Shiyu go.
Now, the only people left in the entire hall are a few people about this treasure hunt.
As soon as Ling Shiyu left, Ling Xiao immediately put on a lazy look and yawned repeatedly: "Since you are asking me to cooperate, you must explain to me in detail where we are going, what we are looking for, and what the risks are."
The black-haired old woman snorted coldly: "Long Yuxuan, how come this kid you found is so ignorant that he doesn't even know his identity?"
Ling Xiao glanced sideways at the black-haired old woman and said with great disdain: "Where did such an ugly old woman come from? She talks so much nonsense."
"Seeking death." The black-haired old woman was furious, her eyes widened, and she waved her cane towards Ling Xiao's head.
Before the attack came, the wind brought by the crutch blew up Ling Xiao's hair. No one here would doubt that if this crutch had been used, Ling Xiao would definitely have been shattered to pieces. Even so, Ling Xiao still Standing still, not even blinking.
Phew, the blue cane shadow flew towards Ling Xiao, and then a white figure blocked in front of Ling Xiao. With a single hand stroke in the air, the attack caused by the black-haired old woman's cane was eliminated.
That white figure was clearly Long Yuxuan.
"Black-haired mother-in-law, we are a cooperative partnership. You can't just kill my people if you want." Long Yuxuan's statement made those present immediately understand Ling Xiao's status.
Even for Long Yuxuan, she could only protect Ling Xiao personally when she was in danger, which shows how important Ling Xiao is to Long Yuxuan.
The expressions on the faces of the people present were different, but the thoughts in their minds were similar. They all thought that this Ling Xiao was probably the face of the woman Long Yuxuan.
The black-faced strong man shouted carelessly: "Stop talking nonsense, take this boy with you and talk as you walk. If the boy wants to explain, then Long Yuxuan, you can explain it to him yourself."
Long Yuxuan narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "Okay, since everything is ready, let's go."
The eight of them set off together. Although Long Yuxuan did not explain anything to Ling Xiao, she took out a thin parchment scroll and let Ling Xiao see it for himself.
Ling Xiao put the parchment into the space, used his mental power to investigate, and his face gradually became weird.
There are several passages of text recorded on the back of this parchment, and an incomplete map on the front.
Ling Xiao didn't look at the map first, but carefully read the records in the paragraphs.
The written content is roughly as follows:
The ancient Tower of Gods and Demons was jointly controlled by the Gods and Demons to check and balance each other. However, a few years ago, the successor of the Lord of the Soul of the Tower of Gods and Devils suddenly launched an attack and launched a war between gods and demons in the Heavenly Soul Realm. After his death, his body was divided into six pieces and fell into the six earthly soul realms respectively.
The body of the Lord of Demonic Souls on the Xuantian Continent is the head. When it fell to the ground, it landed in Xihe City, causing countless black fires and burning the earth. The Lord of Divine Souls lowered the power of his own spirit and turned it into gold water to extinguish the black fires. , and sealed the head of the Demonic Soul Lord under the golden water.
Every year, there are a few days when the power of gold water weakens. These days are the best times to enter the sealed palace. I, the eight ancient aristocratic families of Xuantian Continent, sacrificed countless people, and then developed this secret map.
After the eight pictures are combined into one, and if you find what you need in the eight pictures, you can enter together and obtain the endless treasures left behind in the soul chain of the master of the demon soul.
After Ling Xiao read these paragraphs, he looked at the incomplete map again.
The incomplete map was a square, with a section of dead wood drawn on the upper right corner that was very familiar to Ling Xiao: the Root of the Poisonous Wood.
In Ling Xiao's "Compendium of Heavenly Grass", there is a record of the root of the Hundred Poison Tree: The root of the Hundred Poison Tree is the trunk of the Hundred Poison Tree, a highly poisonous tree in the Heavenly Soul Realm. When it is burned, the poisonous gas released is the beast's. It is the natural nemesis of humans, and any intelligent beast will avoid it.
"Amakusa Compendium" also records that if the roots of the Poisonous Wood are immersed in a large lake for three seconds, all living creatures in the lake will die immediately, which shows how toxic it is.
Although the Root of the Hundred Poison Wood is extremely poisonous, it is the nemesis of all poisons. It is estimated that there is some troublesome poison in the sealed palace, so the Root of the Hundred Poison Wood is needed to resolve it.
Ling Xiao's guess about the hiding place of Xihe City's treasures was indeed correct. After a while, he followed the seven people to the west of Xihe City.
Although Xihe is called a river, its width is far beyond that of ordinary lakes and oceans.
Under the moonlight, the mist hovering over the broad river surface makes the West River look even more hazy and mysterious.
If he relied solely on his naked eyes, Ling Xiao would never be able to see where the other side of the river was.
The water in the Xihe River has turned into a light golden color at this moment. Even so, the Xihe River still looks like there is a layer of gold powder on the water surface.
Ling Xiao looked around curiously, while the other seven people stood quietly by the river and waited, with serious faces.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the fog on the river became thicker, and the pale golden color of the river water completely faded, turning into the appearance of ordinary river water.
"Let's go." The old beggar made a stroke, and the river was immediately separated on both sides, and the other six people jumped into the river.
"Let's go, just follow me." Long Yuxuan picked up Ling Xiao and jumped into it.
For the other seven people, avoiding water was not difficult at all, but for Ling Xiao at this time, it was a huge burden.
It was okay at first, but as the water went down, the water pressure increased, and Ling Xiao was gradually overwhelmed by the pressure of the water.
Long Yuxuan seemed to be deliberately retaliating against Ling Xiao and refused to help, leaving Ling Xiao to resist the water pressure with a pale face.
Long Yuxuan originally planned to help Ling Xiao when he was almost there, but soon, Long Yuxuan discovered that no matter how strong the water pressure was, Ling Xiao could always keep himself from being crushed by the water pressure.
"Hmph." Although Long Yuxuan admired Ling Xiao in her heart, when she thought of Ling Xiao's hateful appearance, her admiration turned into a cold snort.
"We're here." The black-haired old woman shouted excitedly, as if she had a second spring.
Ling Xiao glanced at the black-haired old woman with disdain: Is there any need to be so excited? Isn't it just an underwater palace? You are a countryman who has never seen the world.
No one cared how Ling Xiao was slandering them in his heart at this moment. The seven people looked at this majestic underwater palace at the same time and were stunned for a short while.
This underwater palace is not very high, only about ten meters in height, but what is strange about it is that it only has a flat surface in front of Ling Xiao and the others, and behind it is the empty water bottom, which cannot be seen at all. The "body" of this palace.
"Try to use your mental power to investigate." The goatee with the sword behind him was so proud of his own strength that he immediately used his mental power to scan in the direction of the palace.
"Boom." Goatee's face looked pale as if someone had hit him in the head, and a very conspicuous trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Long Yuxuan snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "Yang Bai, don't think you are a nobody. No matter how strong you are outside, you are nothing inside this palace. Be careful. If you are careless, If you lose your life, I will not be responsible."
Yang Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, only admitting that he was unlucky.
Even so, Ling Xiao still had no intention of giving up the idea of using his mental power to explore the palace.
Because Ling Xiao always had a familiar feeling about this palace, always feeling that someone was calling him inside.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Ling Xiao also extremely carefully integrated his spiritual power into this palace.
Ling Xiao did not feel the sting, but felt extremely shocked.
As soon as his spiritual power was integrated into the palace, another strange spiritual power immediately merged with his spiritual power, and the map of the entire palace was presented in his mind.
In just a short second, Ling Xiao immediately wiped away his shocked expression, but Long Yuxuan still saw a clue: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's too weird here, I just want to leave quickly." Ling Xiao deliberately pretended to be very uncomfortable, and his face continued to pale weakly.
"Humph." Long Yuxuan snorted coldly: "Don't think about it, hurry up and leave."
Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders and followed the seven cautious people to the door of the palace.
"Long Yuxuan, open the door." The black-haired old woman ordered arrogantly. If it were Ling Xiao who had enough strength, she would have been slapped and thrown over.
It's just that Long Yuxuan's current thoughts are on treasure hunting in the palace, and he doesn't bother to argue with the old woman.
She turned her palm over, and a piece of bronze metal about twenty centimeters appeared in her palm.
The palace gate is made of a circular piece of unknown metal. There is a small hole in the center of the circle, which is exactly the size of the piece of bronze metal in Long Yuxuan's hand.
Long Yuxuan held the piece of metal. Even though she was as calm as she was, her hand was still slightly steep.
Ling Xiao secretly sighed in his heart, woman, woman, why bother? If you can get in, you can't get out.
None of these seven people knew that Ling Xiao already knew their fate at this time. Looking at the round door that opened in two, his heart was beating wildly.
"Take out everyone's maps." Long Yuxuan's voice was trembling. Only she herself could know how excited she was at this time.
For many years, this has been the long-cherished wish of more than ten generations of her family. Seeing that it is about to be realized in her own hands, how can Long Yuxuan not be excited.
Others also had their own ideas, but their actions were not slow at all, and they all took out the maps they had on hand.
The beggar old man had two maps in his hands. He handed them over one to the left and one to the right, and merged them with the maps in the hands of the other six people to form a complete map of the sealed palace.
