This corridor was quite long and filled with all kinds of rooms. Many cultivators hurriedly searched through the rooms one by one. After all, there were too many monks and not enough gruel, so whoever was the first to search might be able to obtain some good things.
However, many of the rooms were empty. Even if there were items in them, they were all in tatters. They were no different from the pill room that Lu Xuan and the others had found before. Perhaps the lucky ones would be able to pick up some items that had survived.
"How could this be? They're all broken! " A voice filled with resentment came from one of the rooms. Lu Xuan could tell that the speaker was Xiang Tao.
Immediately, Lu Xuan and the others rushed over and arrived at the room where Xiang Tao was. Lu Xuan saw that there were already many people here. The floor of the room was littered with broken jade slips and papers. Because these papers had been exposed to the air for too long, they had long since turned yellow or even decayed. Occasionally, one could see vague words on some of these papers. At this moment, Xiang Tao was holding a broken book in his hand.
Ruo Xiangyi was also here. Seeing Lu Xuan's group arrive, she nodded towards Lu Xuan and greeted, "Junior Brother Lu, you've also come."
Now, Ruo Xiangyi's trademark smile was also gone, replaced by a slight frown, making people unable to help but feel pity for her. Obviously, she was not in a good mood because of the situation here.
"What's going on here?" Lu Xuan inquired.
Ruo Xiangyi didn't hide anything and bluntly said, "This should be the Book Pavilion of the palace. There are many Cultivation Methods and Martial Skills here, but for some unknown reason, all the jade slips have exploded. These ancient books should have been preserved by an array formation, but they have all been exposed to the air. After so many years, the original writing has long since faded away."
Speaking up to here, Ruo Xiangyi showed a rare bitter smile, "I'm afraid we've come here in vain. Perhaps we might be able to obtain some remaining treasures, but compared to these damaged things, it's not worth mentioning."
It wasn't just Ruo Xiangyi who thought this, the vast majority of cultivators also thought the same. If these treasures were all in good condition, then their harvests would be unimaginably rich. Even the Fourth Grade Sects would be able to obtain a qualitative leap in strength.
Du Xiaomao pointed at the indignant Xiang Tao and asked Ruo Xiangyi, "What's wrong with him?"
Ruo Xiangyi glanced at Xiang Tao and replied, "Senior Brother Xiang seems to have discovered a core cultivation technique of the Extreme Monarch Sect. However, I can't see it clearly anymore."
Hearing this, Du Xiaomao couldn't help but laugh secretly. She had a feeling of gloating. This feeling was like she had seen a complete version of the Mysterious Ice Heart Sutra, only to find that there was not a single word on it. Of course, she didn't know that the complete version of the Mysterious Ice Heart Sutra was already in Lu Xuan's possession.
Xiang Tao also realized that he had lost his composure. He angrily threw the incomplete book to the ground and said, "It must be Lin Zeyu's doing. He took what he needed and destroyed the rest. He doesn't want it, and he won't let us have it."
Lu Xuan and the others didn't suspect Lin Zeyu, but that didn't mean that others didn't. Even the vast majority of cultivators suspected Lin Zeyu. They couldn't help but suspect him. Lin Zeyu was the first to come in, and after they came in, they only saw the wreckage on the ground. Coupled with Lin Zeyu's extreme personality, it seemed that only Lin Zeyu had the time and motivation to do this kind of thing.
Lu Xuan and the others began to search for the jade slip fragments on the ground. They wanted to see if they could find any surviving jade slips. Perhaps any jade slip recorded a powerful cultivation technique, martial skill, or some kind of secret technique.
Ruo Xiangyi shook her head and said, "There's no need to look. There aren't any intact jade slips. All of them have collapsed. If you really want to find them, it's better to look for those paper ancient books. Maybe you can find one or two incomplete books."
Hearing her say so, Lu Xuan also gave up on the idea. There were so many people here. If there were any survivors, they would have been found long ago. He sighed slightly and said, "We came from a pill room. All the pills inside were destroyed. The whole room was filled with the fragrance of pills. Now that I think about it, it's really regrettable."
"Maybe we should ask Lin Zeyu. After all, he was the first to come in," Ruo Xiangyi said after a moment of hesitation. From her words, it seemed that she was also suspicious of Lin Zeyu.
Although the palace was large, there were also many cultivators who came in. It didn't take long for everyone to ransack the entire palace. Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say that they searched the entire palace. After all, there wasn't much for them to loot.
After some discussion, Lu Xuan learned from the other cultivators that most of the valuable things in the palace had been destroyed. All the things that survived were probably not enough for them to divide equally.
For a time, everyone gathered together and began to walk towards the back of the palace. They didn't find Lin Zeyu's figure here. He was most likely at the back of the palace.
When they arrived at the back of the palace, a deep and serene tunnel appeared in front of them. In front of the tunnel stood a familiar figure. It was Lin Zeyu!
"You're all here? Your speed isn't bad. You broke my array so quickly. "Lin Zeyu sneered without turning his head.
"What happened here?" Long Ming asked in a deep voice. He was the most qualified to question Lin Zeyu.
Lin Zeyu turned around and looked at Long Ming. He spread his hands and said, "You ask me, but who should I ask? I don't care if you believe me or not. In any case, when I came in, this place was already like this. I think that as long as one isn't an idiot, there's no way he would destroy so many treasures. "
"It shouldn't be him. There are many places where traces can be seen. This place was destroyed long ago. It didn't happen recently." Leng Qingqiu took the initiative to speak up for Lin Zeyu.
After hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, many cultivators calmed down. Although the destruction was serious, it didn't seem like it was done recently.
"Junior Brother Lin, did you discover anything?" A Nine Eastern Alliance cultivator asked. Although they were all filled with righteous indignation when Lin Zeyu stopped them outside and swore to teach Lin Zeyu a lesson, they didn't dare to overstep their boundaries when facing Lin Zeyu. This was reality.
Although he had cheated everyone before, Lin Zeyu wasn't afraid at all. He stood in front of everyone and spoke with fervor and assurance. He pointed to the tunnel in front of him and said, "The place we are in should be the outer hall. This is the inner hall, and this tunnel is the passage between the two halls."
Hearing that there was an inner hall, many people's eyes suddenly lit up. Just in the outer hall, there were so many good things. Although they were all destroyed, how many treasures would there be in the inner hall? However, when they thought that the inner hall might also be destroyed, the fire in their hearts couldn't help but extinguish a little.
"Since it's the inner hall, why didn't you go in? It can't be that you were waiting for us. "Long Ming didn't rush to do anything, but continued to ask.
Lin Zeyu laughed loudly and said, "Of course I'm not waiting for you. I can't wait for you to enter. As for this inner hall, it's not a place you can enter just because you want to."
"There are four arrays in the tunnel. One of them is a teleportation array to leave this place, and the other two are assessment arrays to pass through the tunnel. If you want to know, you can go and see for yourself."
"Be careful, it's a trap." Yang Weili warned in a low voice. He had now reunited with Lu Xuan and the others. In the outer hall, Yang Weili didn't gain much.
"It shouldn't be. Lin Zeyu wouldn't dare to attack us in front of so many people. Otherwise, Long Ming and the others wouldn't protect him." Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go take a look first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Binger stopped him and said, "I'll go take a look first."
Lu Xuan looked at her and smiled. "Then let's go together. It won't be that easy to attack us."
"I'll go take a look. You guys wait here." Long Ming also played the role of a leader. He gave the Jiuhua Alliance disciples an order and then strode forward. He thought that there weren't many people here that could threaten him.
Apart from Leng Qingqiu, the other leading disciples chose to take a look at the tunnel. Leng Qingqiu was a vigilant person. Since someone was scouting ahead, he was happy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. He wouldn't take the risk himself.
As soon as they stepped into the tunnel, a teleportation array appeared in front of them. On the wall beside the teleportation array, there were six large words: "Enter this array and you can leave."
From the handwriting, it was obvious that there were many thoughts in it. It wasn't Lin Zeyu's doing. Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. It seemed that Lin Zeyu wasn't lying.
"It seems that the items in the outer hall were left behind by the ancient almighty. If you aren't qualified to enter the inner hall, then you can choose to leave." Long Ming looked at the six words and said, "It's a pity that the items in the outer hall were destroyed. It's a waste of the ancient almighty's efforts."
"Let's take a look at the three assessment arrays and see how we can enter the inner hall." Lu Xuan pointed ahead and said.
The group moved forward again. After discovering that there was no danger in the tunnel, they relaxed a little and held a trace of curiosity.
Very quickly, three arrays were placed in front of them in a row. On the walls beside the three arrays, there was a row of large words written on them.
The first array: "Enter this array and seal your energy. Use your physical strength to fight against the puppets. The winner can enter the inner hall!"
The second array: "Enter this array and seal your energy. Use martial skills to break martial skills. The winner can enter the inner hall!"
The third array: "Enter this array and use the Dao of Talismans to break the array. The winner can enter the inner hall!"
There were three different types of assessment. Passing any one of them would give them a chance to enter the inner hall. It had nothing to do with one's realm or strength. It only had to do with one's own comprehension!
