With a clang, Lu Xuan stabbed the Mist Sword into the ground and half-knelt, panting heavily. Using the Mist Sword's Gravity Formation, the third form of the Heaven Sword Nine Layers while he was seriously injured, had truly reached Lu Xuan's limits.
Ao Ze and Yi Yong quickly ran over and supported Lu Xuan.
"Master, are you alright?" Ao Ze asked worriedly. He then extended his hand and channeled a strand of energy into Lu Xuan's body, helping Lu Xuan nourish his meridians, which had almost exceeded his limits.
"Envoy … you actually defeated Fang Yuanbai, a pinnacle Grand Void Stage Fang Yuanbai!" Yi Yong said excitedly. This time, he clearly saw that Lu Xuan really did not use any external force and completely relied on his own strength to fight against Fang Yuanbai. It was simply impossible for a fifth-tier Grand Void Stage cultivator to defeat a pinnacle Grand Void Stage cultivator. But now, Lu Xuan had done it!
Lu Xuan took two quick breaths and shook his head lightly, "Fang Yuanbai is indeed very strong. I had the advantage of my weapon. Otherwise, it would be hard to predict the outcome of the battle."
Yi Yong shook his head, "That Fang Yuanbai even had the advantage of his strength, a full five levels higher. Envoy, I, Yi Yong, am truly convinced now."
Lu Xuan smiled and supported Ao Ze's body to stand up. He glanced at Fang Yuanbai's corpse, but did not walk over. Instead, he turned around and said, "Let's go. We'll first obtain the inheritance, then we'll meet up with Nangong Lie and the others."
Lu Xuan loosened his grip on Ao Ze's shoulder and tried to walk over. But as soon as he took a step, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ao Ze reacted quickly and grabbed Lu Xuan, preventing Lu Xuan from falling.
This time, Lu Xuan had truly used up all of his powers. Fighters at the pinnacle of the Taixu Realm truly lived up to their reputation. Fang Yuanbai could only be considered as someone who had just entered the pinnacle of the Taixu Realm. There was no way he could compare to those who had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Taixu Realm for a long time. Furthermore, he had been injured by Nangong Lie, so he could only bring out 80% of his powers. Even so, he was still able to force Lu Xuan into such a situation.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of the purpose of his trip. His heart sank. Fang Yuanbai was already so difficult to deal with. What about the Sikong Clan, which was comparable to the Jiuhua Alliance? Did he really have the ability to take the Yin-Yang Soul-Breaking Curse from the Sikong clan? Even though he still had some trump cards that he hadn't used yet.
Lu Xuan was shocked when he thought of this, and he did his best to throw this thought out of his mind. He actually felt a sense of fear. How could he do this? It was a great taboo to be afraid before a battle had even begun! No matter what, he had to fight. Otherwise, he could only sit and watch Bing 'er die. Xiang Yi had already died because of this. He would never allow Bing' er to leave him again.
Not refusing Ao Ze's help, Lu Xuan led Ao Ze and Yi Yong into the Southern Palace. At this moment, Lu Xuan finally had time to carefully examine the most important palace in the Red Flame Palace. After the battle, the palace was in a mess. Broken cabinets, screens, and other things were scattered on the ground. The walls were charred black, and there were scorch marks on the walls. Although it was a mess, from the outline, it could be seen that the palace was once very luxurious.
Lu Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He spread out his divine sense and quickly enveloped the entire palace. Soon, he sensed something unusual. He opened his eyes and said, "Let's go, to the left."
Under Lu Xuan's guidance, the three of them quickly arrived in front of a stone door. The stone door was carved with a Fire Qilin baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The Qilin's arm was stretched out as if it wanted to break through the stone wall. It looked lifelike and ferocious. Especially the pair of huge eyes that were glaring at them, it sent chills down their spines.
"Cough cough, the Nangong family's wealth is indeed extraordinary. Even this stone door is a treasure." Lu Xuan coughed lightly and said. This stone door was made from a huge Heaven Yuan Stone. Not only was the Heaven Yuan Stone extremely hard, it could also absorb Yuan Qi. In other words, if someone wanted to use Yuan Qi to break this door, they must first have a power that exceeded the upper limit of the stone door's absorption ability. In the current Heavenly Sword Continent, there was not even a Transcendent Realm master. It was impossible to find such a person. Of course, they could also find a powerful Body Refiner to break it, but that would undoubtedly be more difficult.
Ao Ze scratched his head and said, "How do we get in?"
After saying that, he lifted his foot and kicked the stone door. However, he felt as if he had kicked a stone wall. It did not move at all, and there was not a single sound. The thickness of the stone door must be at least three feet.
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's pale face and he said, "What's the hurry? We have the key. Why use brute force?"
After saying that, Lu Xuan took out the seal given to him by Nangong Lie from his Storage Ring. After adjusting its position, he forcefully pressed it against the Fire Qilin's arm on the stone door. He had already noticed that the patterns on the Qilin's arm matched the patterns on the seal.
At this moment, a rumbling sound could be heard and the entire hall began to tremble slightly. The heavy stone door in front of them began to slowly open from the middle, and a scorching aura was emitted along with a red light.
When the stone door was completely opened, the scene behind the door could be seen clearly. It was a dark room that was only a few dozen feet in circumference. In the dark room, there were countless neatly stacked Spirit Materials. With so many Spirit Materials gathered together, they condensed an extremely dense Yuan Qi. Among them, the aura of the flame was the thickest. It was obvious that these were the resources that the Nangong Family had accumulated over the years. In the center of the dark room, there was a stone platform. On top of the stone platform, there was a fiery red crystal ball the size of a palm. Lu Xuan could clearly feel that the aura of the flame emitted by this crystal ball was the thickest, and it gave off a very mysterious feeling.
Without a doubt, this was the crystal ball that contained part of the Nangong Family's inheritance. It was unknown how fast and fierce the Sikong Family's surprise attack on the Nangong Family was, to the point that the Nangong Family did not have time to bring away all the Spirit Materials and inheritance.
At this moment, a fiery red light shot out from the Mist Sword on its own. Soon, it condensed into the shape of a small person. It was Huo Li.
Huo Li rushed toward the crystal ball excitedly. After circling around it, he returned to Lu Xuan and asked, "Master, can that thing be eaten? It seems to be very delicious. "
The corner of Lu Xuan's mouth slightly twitched. If Huo Li really ate it, Nangong Lie would really fight him to the death.
Immediately, Lu Xuan grabbed Huo Li and said, "Don't do anything rash. Other than the crystal ball, you can eat whatever you want."
