The high-ranking official's head was smashed into pieces. His brain juices splattered everywhere. His face was too horrible to look at. Moreover, his face was shrouded in a layer of black Qi. Under the corrosion of the black Qi, his soul was constantly being decomposed.
Mo Nansheng and the others were quite frightened. They secretly gathered their True Essence, ready to attack at any time. If they really couldn't survive, then they would go all out and drag some of them down with them.
After a while, Zhuang Quan released his control. The high-ranking official fell to the ground, deader than dead. Zhuang Quan's eyes were tightly shut. His face was pale. No one knew if it was because he had overexerted himself or if he had seen something that shocked him.
The entire desert was quiet. Only the wind blew back and forth from time to time. Everyone was waiting quietly.
After a while, Zhuang Quan opened his eyes. His eyes were turbid and his expression could not be seen clearly. He ordered emotionlessly, "Continue digging."
Wu Ying and the others wanted to ask, but did not dare to. They could only obey the order and start digging.
Yang Qingxuan did not care who he was and interrupted directly, "Wait." Then he stared at Zhuang Quan and said coldly, "We're all in the same boat. Shouldn't you tell us everything you know?"
Zhuang Quan was extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only say, "I searched that person's soul just now to see the man's appearance and the true appearance of the formation. I saw the man's appearance clearly, but the true appearance of the formation has disappeared from these people's minds. I'm afraid we can't find it. "
Yang Qingxuan asked, "Who is that man?"
Zhuang Quan said coldly, "How would I know?"
Yang Qingxuan asked, "After you searched his soul, your expression obviously changed. You still say you don't know? Do you take us for fools? If you don't tell us clearly, you can dig by yourself. We'll watch from the side. "
Zhuang Quan flicked his sleeves and snorted, "Up to you." He ordered, "Yunxiu Palace's disciples, speed up the digging."
As long as Yang Qingxuan did not cause trouble, he did not care. The others could not command, but the Yunxiu Palace's disciples could. If it really did not work, he could do it himself.
Yang Qingxuan frowned and also snorted. He then called the ferryman and the disciples to stand aside and watch coldly. Lu Feilai, Liu Yihuai, and the others thought for a while and stood to the side, not participating in the excavation. Only a hundred or so disciples of Luxuriant Cloud Palace remained. They followed the large pit from before and began to dig in all directions.
Soon, a large number of building fragments appeared. They were all made of the same type of stone, and the carvings on them were also exactly the same. However, the carvings were not the same.
Moreover, as they dug, dried corpses would jump out from time to time. A few disciples of Luxuriant Cloud Palace were careless and were smacked to death by the dried corpses. The faces of the Chu Heavenly Gang members turned ugly. After all, these dried up corpses belonged to their own sect. Although anyone below the Demi-Immortal realm was nothing more than an ant, seeing them with their own eyes still left them deeply moved.
An hour later, the large pit had been dug down two to three thousand zhang deep. Several enormous stone pillars appeared. They were as thick as a person's arms, but they were all extremely damaged. Traces of a large number of buildings appeared one by one. It was almost certain that this place used to be a huge and magnificent palace.
Zhuang Quan's breathing quickened as he stared down without blinking.
"There's a door!" Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise.
When they were cleaning up the buildings, a bronze door was cleared out behind a few enormous stone pillars. It was covered with fist-sized nails. It had been buried for an unknown period of time, but there was not a trace of rust on it. It was as new as before.
Zhuang Quan's face was filled with ecstasy. In a flash, he appeared in front of the bronze door. His eyes were shining, and he was so excited that he could not control himself.
Everyone followed closely behind and landed in front of the bronze door. They all looked at it in shock. Although it was ancient, they could still feel the magnificent aura coming from the door.
Wu Ying suddenly asked, "Sir, is this the thing that Ye Queen has been searching for all this time?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Zhuang Quan gradually calmed down and said, "It can be said that it is, but it can also be said that it is not."
Dancing Shadow furrowed his brows, carefully pondering the meaning of this sentence.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Can you be direct and clear?"
Zhuang Quan looked at the door with mixed feelings. He sighed and said, "Let's open this door first. We'll talk after we go in."
As he said that, he walked forward and grabbed a copper nail in each hand. He got into a posture and pushed hard.
Suddenly, a spiritual light appeared on the door. It turned into lines and swam between the copper nails, forming strange tadpole-like characters.
These characters were full of spirituality and were dancing like tadpoles.
Yang Qingxuan was shocked. These characters were all ancient elven characters. He could not help but blink his eyes. All the characters scattered on their own and turned into streams of light. They gathered in the center of the door and formed a huge light wheel.
The light wheel jumped around like flames and surged like water waves.
A white light shot out from it and shot towards Zhuang Quan.
"This is …!"
"Ah! — — "
Zhuang Quan's expression changed drastically. When he was hit by the light, his whole body trembled like a sieve. Then, he screamed and was sent flying.
His body slid dozens of feet in the air and landed on the ground. He was still moving backward. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" He hurriedly stomped on the ground. Every step he took shattered the ground. Only then did he stabilize his body.
Streams of light covered his body and jumped like electric arcs. It was as if he was covered with a layer of thorns. He looked like he was in extreme pain.
"That is … a pseudo dao pattern?!" Yang Qingxuan was shocked. He recognized the light wheel immediately.
However, after the light wheel repelled Zhuang Quan, it turned into a huge elven character again and disappeared in a flash.
"What? That was a pseudo dao pattern just now? "
"Why does it seem different from the pattern that Ye Queen gave us?"
Many people took out the blueprints. On them were the missions issued by Yunxiu Palace. All of them clearly reflected the pseudo dao pattern. It was indeed different from the one shown before. However, in terms of structure, at a glance, it did give off a somewhat similar feeling.
Wu Ying flew to Zhuang Quan's side and asked anxiously, "My Lord, are you alright?"
Zhuang Quan hugged his body and trembled in pain for a while. The streams of light kept surging into his body, causing a huge amount of black gas to burst out. He was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
Everyone looked at him in shock and didn't know what to do.
After a while, the streams of light on Zhuang Quan's body dissipated. Zhuang Quan's hands quickly formed seals. A lump of black gas surged out from his body and cleansed his body. Then, it returned to his body. He let out a heavy breath and stared at the huge bronze door with a serious expression.
Wu Ying said, "My Lord, why don't we send someone back to Yunxiu Palace to inform Ye Queen that we have found the item and see if Ye Queen has any arrangements?"
"No!" Zhuang Quan's expression changed drastically as he rejected the idea. He stared at her fiercely and didn't seem to be friendly.
Wu Ying was shocked. She didn't dare to look him in the eyes and quickly lowered her head.
Zhuang Quan retracted his gaze and looked at Yang Qingxuan. He said seriously, "I'm afraid we can only rely on you to open this door."
