In front of the two was a simple bronze door. Two oil lamps hung on both sides of the door. Purple flames flickered in the oil lamps, slightly illuminating the surroundings.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and said, "Interesting, the oil lamps are actually still lit."
A huge three-legged cauldron was carved on the door. There were dragons and phoenixes carved on the cauldron.
There were four soaring white clouds above the cauldron. This was the first time Xiao Chen had seen white flames, so he felt it was strange.
The door was tightly shut, giving off a strong sense of history. An ancient aura assaulted their faces. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
The sound of people landing resounded. The other scions and cultivators landed one after another. Then, they immediately swarmed to the bronze door.
In an instant, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun's figures were buried in the crowd. When they saw the carvings on the bronze door, many people sighed in amazement.
"It really is the Fire Li Sect's remnant. The three-legged cauldron is the Fire Li Sect's cornerstone treasure, the Dragon Fear Cauldron. The purple clouds on top of the cauldron should be the Lunar True Flame. This branch hall has four Lunar True Flames. It looks like its position is not simple."
"Yes, the Fire Li Sect's main hall has nine Lunar True Flames. The other branches are divided into eight ranks based on the number of flames. There are four flames here. At the very least, it should not be the worst."
"Ha ha! It looks like Duanmuqing did not lie to us. However, how does this door open? Can it be pushed?"
These people were all outstanding talents of the younger generation. Many of them had ancient books in the libraries of their clans. There was no lack of knowledgeable people. They immediately understood the meaning of the carvings on the bronze door.
However, when they saw the tightly shut bronze door, they did not dare to push it open. The Fire Li Sect was best at forging Secret Treasures.
Forging Secret Treasures required the study of formations. It was hard to guarantee that there were no formations on the bronze door. Trying it rashly would just be seeking death.
A young expert from the Dongming Province stepped forward and said, "Let me try!"
This person wore cultivator robes of alternating blue and white. He had thick eyebrows and large eyes. He was sixteen meters tall and had a stocky build. The muscles on his chest bulged like small hills. He carried a thick saber on his back. It was obvious that he was an expert in hard body techniques.
"He's Wen Yanbin. It's said that he's the number one physical cultivator in Dong Ming. Even without using Yuan Qi, he can reach fifteen thousand pounds of force with one palm strike."
"This bronze door is at most five thousand kilograms. This person might be able to open it. Furthermore, without using Essence, it might not cause the formation to rebound."
Everyone recognized Wen Yanbin and hurriedly invited him forward. At this time, someone was opening the door, so everyone was naturally happy.
Wen Yanbin stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the door on the left. He slightly rubbed it, then switched to the door on the right and rubbed it.
Seeing that nothing out of the ordinary had happened, Zhang Xuan calmed down slightly. He took a deep breath and quickly retracted his right hand. Then, he slammed his palm against the bronze door.
Bang!
The entire underground space began to shake, but the bronze gate did not move at all. There was no movement at all.
"Again!" Wen Yanbin roared, and the muscles on his right arm doubled in size. He continuously smashed at the bronze gate.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "The continuous loud sounds reverberated throughout the underground space. The huge force was transmitted to the ground, causing the surroundings to shake. Rocks kept falling from above.
However, there was still no reaction from the bronze gate. There was no movement at all; not even a small opening appeared.
"How can it be like this? There is no movement at all. Could it be that there is no way to open this bronze gate?" the crowd exclaimed in astonishment.
The continuous attacks caused Wen Yanbin's complexion to turn somewhat pale. This was how physical attacks worked. At least thirty percent of the force that struck the opponent would be reflected back to him.
Each of Zhang Xuan's palm strikes contained no less than five thousand kilograms of force. When the rebound force accumulated, it was already a threat to Zhang Xuan's meridians and internal organs.
Seeing that there was still no movement, Wen Yanbin made up his mind. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's right palm became larger. He clenched his fist and punched out ferociously.
When Wen Yanbin punched out, even the air exploded. This punch contained his full strength; it contained ten thousand kilograms of force.
"Bang!"
There was a loud explosion and the huge force rebounded. The internal injuries that Wen Yanbin had been suppressing erupted. He vomited a mouthful of blood and flew back.
The entire space shook for a long time before it slowly stopped. However, there was still no reaction from the bronze gate. It did not even open a crack.
Seeing Wen Yanbin sitting on the ground with a pale complexion and circulating his Qi, everyone could not help but feel anxious. Someone said, "Since we cannot open this door with brute force, there should be some sort of mechanism. Open it."
"I don't think so. Perhaps his strength has not reached a certain level. Perhaps he can use his Essence to test it out."
"Duanmuqing is here. Let her take a look!"
As the crowd discussed intensely, Duanmuqing, Ji Changkong, and the others slowly walked over from the back of the crowd.
At this moment, no one said anything about an agreement. The most important thing was to open the gate. Duanmuqing's appearance gave everyone hope.
Everyone gave way, opening a path for Duanmuqing to walk to the front.
When Duanmuqing saw everyone's eager expressions, there was no change in his expression. It was just like before, cold and beautiful, without a trace of the mundane world.
Duanmuqing slowly walked forward and arrived before the bronze gate. Then, he inserted his hands into the two pillars on the left and right of the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. His fingers dug in deeply.
The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron had three pillars, one on the left and one on the right. The third pillar would only merge when the two doors were joined together.
What's going on? When the crowd saw this, they were confused. The bronze gate weighed five thousand kilograms. How could it be inserted so easily?
When the crowd looked carefully, they discovered that Duanmuqing had not used brute force to insert his fingers.
Instead, it was the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron's pillars. There were originally five finger holes. However, because of the light and the carvings, it created an illusion. It was easy to overlook them.
"Creak!"
Duanmuqing gently pulled with both hands. The bronze gate that had troubled the crowd for a long time, the one that Wen Yanbin could not push open even with his ten thousand kilograms of force, easily opened.
"So this door is supposed to be pulled, not pushed. I've had this feeling for a long time," someone said after realizing it.
Wen Yanbin, who was on the ground, had already recovered. He was so angry that he nearly vomited blood again. When he heard this, he thought about his earlier actions; they were extremely foolish.
A majestic hall appeared in front of everyone's vision. Wind blew under their feet and they all entered.
There was a corridor in the center of the hall. There were many stone pillars at the side. An armored warrior stood in the middle of each pillar, holding a sword in his hand.
When Xiao Chen looked around, this place did not look like it had been damaged at all. It was like thousands of years had not affected this place at all.
Xiao Chen touched the stone pillar. The stone pillar was smooth and smooth, without a speck of dust. It was like someone cleaned it regularly.
At the end of the corridor was a scarlet throne. A golden-armored warrior sat on it. Two silver-armored warriors stood on both sides of the throne. They wore silver Battle Armor and had silver sheathed swords at their waists.
Xiao Chen looked at the golden-armored warrior. The golden-armored warrior was clad in golden Battle Armor and wore a golden mask. Its eyes were empty.
However, its gaze gave off an incomparably deep feeling. It was clearly an inanimate object; it seemed somewhat contradictory.
After Xiao Chen probed it, he discovered that it was really an inanimate object. It was filled with all sorts of metal parts. So he withdrew his gaze.
This should be the main hall of the Fire Li Sect's branch hall. I should go to their refining room and the library to take a look. The good things should be there.
Xiao Chen thought to himself. He looked around the hall, searching for other paths.
The fifty or sixty people all had excited expressions on their faces as they rummaged around, hoping to find something useful. It would be even better if it was a Secret Treasure.
"These armored warriors might be combat puppets unique to the Fire Li Sect. I wonder if they can still be used. A few years ago, the Linlang Pavilion in the Imperial Capital auctioned one and sold it for a sky-high price," someone from the Royal Court said.
When they heard this person say that, the others quickly stopped what they were doing and rushed to the armored warriors in the hall. Some went to retrieve their swords; some wanted to remove their helmets to take a look.
"Pu ci!
Pu ci! "Just as the crowd was inspecting the armored warriors, all of them moved. The surrounding people were startled and quickly scattered.
"Ka ca!"
All the armored warriors drew their swords at the same time. Sword lights flashed as they quickly attacked the surrounding people.
"They can still be used. We are going to be rich this time. These armored warriors are so complete. They can definitely be sold for a sky-high price," the cultivator from the Royal Court who spoke earlier said excitedly.
When the crowd heard him say this, their fighting spirit immediately rose. They charged at the twenty-odd armored warriors.
The armored warriors were at the level of an Inferior Grade Martial Saint. They could send out dim sword Qi. However, because they were wearing armor, they did not have any lifeforce. They were impervious to weapons and could not feel pain.
Despite having the advantage in numbers, the crowd was unable to subdue these armored warriors in a short period of time.
Because Xiao Chen was standing further away, he did not receive any attacks from the armored warriors. Furthermore, there were very few armored warriors. Every armored warrior was surrounded by three or four cultivators.
The scene was somewhat chaotic. Xiao Chen could not be bothered to join in on the excitement. He returned his gaze to the golden-armored warrior on the scarlet throne.
The ten people fighting with the Scarlet Flame Chief and Duanmuqing had not made a move yet. Their gazes were also on the three combat puppets on the scarlet throne.
There was no reason for it. The combat prowess of the armored warriors was not high. The ten of them did not care about them. Since they had come to a treasure trove, their standards were naturally much higher.
"Hu chi!"
Aside from Xiao Chen, the eleven of them made a move at the same time. They pushed off the ground and quickly flew towards the scarlet throne. All sorts of lights were released; it was very beautiful.
"Weng!"
When the two silver-armored warriors beside the throne felt the auras of the ten, their empty eyes lit up with a scarlet light. They suddenly came to life.
