"Clang …"
A crisp sound reverberated in the hall. It was a magic longsword that the red-robed man carried with him.
The red-robed man, who had been turned into ashes by Xia Pingan, dropped a few elixirs and a magic longsword. There was nothing else left.
The elixirs fell into the red-robed man's ashes, which looked disgusting. The onlookers were not interested in picking them up. It was too degrading.
When the five people attacked just now, the onlookers just watched and stayed out of it. No one helped the red-robed man.
This kind of thing was not new in the Celestial Palace.
So far, before the first key was obtained, the team sent by Old Monster Tianhua to the Land of the Fallen Gods was completely annihilated. No one survived.
"Bah, trash …" A summoner on Supreme Wu Chen's side spat at the pile of ashes, as if he had vented his anger. Then, he cupped his hands at Xia Pingan and Qu Yitong before retreating to their respective resting places.
Xia Pingan and Qu Yitong also retreated.
Just now, Xia Pingan had a good impression of Qu Yitong. This Qu Yitong dared to attack the red-robed man. He was indeed responsible.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qu!" As soon as he returned, Xia Pingan cupped his hands at Qu Yitong and said, "This is my personal matter. I wanted to deal with it myself. I didn't expect Senior Brother Qu to help!"
"Junior Brother Long, don't be so polite. Before we came in, Elder Li had told us that Junior Brother Long is a member of the Wan Shen Sect. You can also refine soul tools. You are a talent that the Wan Shen Sect urgently needs. Elder Li asked me to take care of Junior Brother Long's safety. Since Old Monster Tianhua dared to attack Junior Brother Long, it is the same as attacking the Wan Shen Sect.
…
The hall was abnormally silent. Everyone was recovering their strength. Just now, a person had died here, but it was as if nothing had happened.
After another half an hour, a shadow flashed at the entrance of the hall, and a person came in through the entrance.
"Junior Sister Gu …" Qi Yu's figure flashed as she rushed towards Gu Yuqing. Holding Gu Yuqing's hand, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone was happy to see another person from the Wan Shen Sect.
Gu Yuqing didn't have any traces of a fierce battle on her body. Nobody knew how she passed the previous levels. After she came to the hall, she glanced at everyone's faces and then came to Xia Pingan. She bowed to Xia Pingan and said with some embarrassment, "Junior Brother Long, thank you for your help!"
"Senior-apprentice Sister Gu, you're too polite. It's nothing!"
Gu Yuqing wasn't a lively person who was good at talking. Hearing Xia Pingan's words, she just looked at Xia Pingan gratefully and didn't say anything.
A group of people was waiting there.
…
After more than 2 hours, the ground of the entire palace suddenly trembled slightly. A wall in front of the palace slowly rose from the ground, revealing the other half of the palace.
"It's coming out …" Someone shouted.
"Everyone, get ready …" Qu Yitong reminded them. Everyone instantly became spirited. They all rushed to the front of the rising wall and held their breaths as they watched the wall slowly rise.
Behind the rising wall of the palace was a thick, transparent crystal wall. Behind the wall was the other half of the palace. Through the thick crystal wall, Zhang Tie could see the scene on the opposite side — — many armored bodyguard puppets were standing solemnly on the opposite side in two rows. Behind those bodyguard puppets, at the end of the palace, there was a long emerald table, on which there were many snake-shaped golden keys.
Looking at the keys on the table, everyone's eyes flashed with a bright light.
Xia Pingan touched the several feet thick crystal wall in front of him and secretly pushed it hard. The crystal wall didn't move at all, like a mountain.
On the crystal wall in front of them, there was a fist-sized hole every few meters that led to the other side. It was impossible for a person to crawl through such a hole, and normal summons wouldn't be able to do so either.
Qu Yitong directly used the longsword in his hand to slash at the crystal wall. Sparks flew from the impact and Qu Yitong was forced to take a step back. But there wasn't even a scratch on the crystal wall.
"This wall really can't be broken through by force. It looks like we can only summon assassins …" Qu Yitong shook his head and put away the longsword in his hand.
As Qu Yitong spoke, Hua Xin and her junior Qin of the Black Dragon Sect had already summoned two assassins.
As soon as the two Assassins were summoned, they turned into black smoke. The black smoke was like a snake as it drilled into the fist-sized hole in the crystal wall. Then, it drilled out of the hole and reappeared as the Assassins. Their figures were like lightning as they rushed towards the long emerald table at the end of the hall.
As soon as the two assassins entered the crystal wall, the guard puppets moved at once. Several guard puppets rushed toward the two assassins. The giant shields in their hands were covered in a layer of golden brilliance, and they collided with the two assassins like mountains.
"Hurry up, everyone summon the assassins inside. Only by defeating those guard puppets in one go can we get the keys …" Someone on True Monarch Wu Chen's side shouted and immediately summoned seven assassins. They turned into black smoke and went through the hole in the wall to fight with the guard puppets.
Everyone on the Ten Thousand Gods Sect's side also summoned an assassin each.
The assassins summoned by Xia Pingan looked exactly the same as the dragon-slaying assassins summoned by others. There was nothing unusual about them. Therefore, after they were summoned, they were not conspicuous at all and did not attract attention at all.
As an assassin, once they attracted attention, it meant that they had failed when they appeared.
The fighting on the crystal wall was extremely fierce. As the assassins entered one by one, all the guard puppets moved and formed a line of defense. Long swords, giant shields, and the light and shadow of various spells intertwined, intercepting and killing the assassins who entered.
On the other side of the wall, the summoners who summoned the assassins could only watch the performance of the assassins they summoned.
Assassins of the same level had different abilities, wisdom, and talents due to different summoners. Just like summoners of the same level, they were not exactly the same.
Soon, the assassins who entered were killed by the guard puppets and dissipated into light.
Those guard puppets seemed to be born to restrain the abilities of the assassins. The armor on their bodies was like the armor of a tank, covering all the weaknesses of the guard puppets. The weapons in the hands of the summoned assassins and the spells they released could not hurt those guard puppets at all.
Seeing that the assassins they summoned were killed, the summoners on this side immediately summoned a second assassin. They would not give up until they achieved their goal.
In the chaos, the assassin summoned by Xia Pingan quietly released a large-scale Smoke Skill. The hall on the opposite side was suddenly filled with thick smoke, blocking everyone's sight.
"Who is it, whose assassin is releasing the Smoke Skill …" A summoner on True Monarch Wu Chen's side shouted.
The situation inside was too chaotic. There were intense fighting and the roar of spells everywhere. The assassins and the guard puppets were entangled in a tangle, and their figures flashed like lightning. Under such circumstances, the people on this side could not determine who summoned the assassin to release the Smoke Skill.
Xia Pingan did not expect that the assassin he summoned would release the Smoke Skill. This was not his order. He only felt that his assassin released the Smoke Skill. This was a spontaneous action of the assassin he summoned in order to complete the task.
In the thick smoke, the assassin summoned by Xia Pingan suddenly became more than twice as fast. That assassin's figure crisscrossed between two shields and three huge swords. Like a ghost, it rushed to the long emerald table at the end of the hall and grabbed a key. With a bang, its figure dissipated into smoke again.
A guard puppet opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely. All the smoke in the hall on the opposite side was sucked into the guard puppet's stomach, and the sight on this side became clear again.
In just a few breaths, the summoners on this side had already discovered that two of the snake-shaped keys on the long emerald table on the opposite side were missing.
Everyone was shocked. They did not know whose assassin had snatched the two keys.
In the next second, with a bang, the assassin summoned by Xia Pingan appeared on the other side of the crystal wall. It turned into black smoke again and slithered out of the twisting passageway like a snake. As soon as the assassin came out, it handed the key to Xia Pingan.
A golden door instantly appeared in the middle of the hall.
The people on the side were dumbfounded. They did not expect that Xia Pingan's assassin would be the first to obtain the key.
"Senior Brothers, I'll go first …" Xia Pingan did not stand on ceremony. As soon as he got the key, he said a few words to Qu Yitong and leaped toward the door.
Only one second later than Xia Pingan, the assassin summoned by Hua Xin also obtained a key. Closely after that, it broke through the encirclement of the guard puppets and slid out of the crystal wall. After handing the key to Hua Xin, the second golden door appeared.
Without any hesitation, Xia Pingan and Hua Xin exchanged glances with each other from afar. After that, they pushed open the golden door respectively and walked in.
…
The moment Xia Pingan crossed the door, he was ready to launch an all-out attack.
However, in the next second, Xia Pingan became dumbfounded.
What appeared in front of him was a huge and splendid palace. In the palace, there were more than 10 huge white snake skeletons with wings lying there. They were already lifeless.
Most importantly, on one of the walls of the palace, there was a sentence written in words that everyone could understand.
— — Hahaha, this grandpa has taken away the fragments of the divine tool. Don't think about it anymore. Let these kids come in to take the divine tool. You old guys are dreaming …
Xia Pingan's expression suddenly became strange …
Hua Xin's figure followed closely behind. When she saw the huge snake skeletons and the words on the palace wall, she was also dumbfounded.
After a while, a person from Perfected Monarch Wu Chen's side, Qu Yitong, Meng Ziqi, and the others entered one after another. When they saw the snake skeletons and the words on the palace wall, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
How could such a place be taken away by someone else?
Motherf * cker, the most important thing was that the person who left this message was a little too mean.
"Pfft …" Thinking of Perfected Monarch Ming He's expression, Xia Pingan could not help but laugh. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, Xia Pingan stopped laughing and pretended to be serious. "Cough, cough, I think that this … this guy who left these words is too hateful …"
