Mo Wen and Gong Biluo's injuries had basically healed. As Jun Wulei had Mo Wen's recuperation medicine, he had also recovered well. Compared to when they had first met, he was in a much better condition.
"What happened?"
Mo Wen glanced at Jun Wulei, who was walking over. A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as he was carrying a person in his hand.
How could there be anyone else in this underground palace?
"When I went back to the karst cave, I found this guy poking his head around outside, so I caught him."
Jun Wulei threw the person in front of Mo Wen and Gong Biluo and said with a cold face. This underground palace was mysterious and strange. Anyone who came here had to be careful. After all, this place was not a dangerous place that ordinary people could come to.
"Hey, someone from the Jiang Clan."
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He stepped forward and gave the person a kick. He noticed that the person was wearing the clothes of the Jiang Clan. He was not very old, and looked to be in his twenties or thirties. If he had guessed correctly, he should be the person who had escaped from the team of the Jiang Clan preliminary members.
His name seemed to be Jiang Mingxun, a genius of the Jiang Clan. Back then, when this person had escaped into the depths of the forbidden land, Jiang Mingxun had been a little impressed by his courage.
But why would he appear in the underground palace? If it was just for the sake of escaping, it would definitely be illogical to enter such a dangerous place.
Mo Wen squatted down and patted Jiang Mingxun's face. Jiang Mingxun had already fainted, and his breathing was shallow. His entire body was covered with wounds of various sizes. It was obvious that it wasn't Jun Wulei's fault. Instead, it was left behind by the dangerous forbidden land along the way.
He took out a golden needle and pricked it at the back of Jiang Mingxun's head. After a while, Jiang Mingxun slowly regained consciousness. When he saw Mo Wen, his eyes immediately widened. He didn't understand why this person would appear in front of him.
"Mo Wen!"
Jiang Mingxun's face immediately paled. Wasn't this person fighting with the clan's Supreme Elder? Why would he appear here?
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Mingxun's doubts were also Mo Wen's doubts. He also didn't quite understand why Jiang Mingxun would appear in this place.
"I …"
Jiang Mingxun opened his mouth, and his eyes kept turning, as if he was thinking of an excuse.
"Be honest, or else …"
Mo Wen laughed coldly. He raised his hand and pierced a needle into Jiang Mingxun's body.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from Jiang Mingxun's mouth. His body kept twitching as if he was suffering from epilepsy.
After about three minutes, Mo Wen finally pulled out the golden needle from Jiang Mingxun's body.
"I'll talk … talk …"
Jiang Mingxun was panting heavily. His face was trembling uncontrollably as he looked at Mo Wen in horror. The feeling of being alive was worse than death. He wished he could just kill himself.
"Don't play any tricks."
Mo Wen said nonchalantly. This Jiang Mingxun was a little shrewd, and his intelligence was far above that of Jiang Mingxiao. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to escape into the Underground Palace alone.
"My purpose in coming here … is to search for treasures …"
Jiang Mingxun took a deep breath. He knew that it would be hard for him to die if he continued to hide the truth.
It turned out that the reason Jiang Mingxun came to the underground palace was because he had obtained a treasure map not long ago. The location marked on the treasure map was the underground palace in the forbidden area.
Three months ago, because he had completed an important mission, he was fated to go to the Jiang family's secret treasure chamber to choose a treasure, and he found a treasure map inside.
Hence, he hid it and brought it out of the Jiang Clan's treasure chamber.
After some research, he discovered that the treasure map was something that the five founders of the Dafang Sect had obtained from the mysterious forbidden area a few hundred years ago. In the past few hundred years, the Dafang Sect had gone to this underground palace to search for treasures a few times, but they had come up empty-handed. Instead, they had suffered heavy casualties.
After he had obtained this map, he had been tempted. Although he knew the dangers of treasure hunting, if he could obtain the mysterious treasure inside, it would definitely allow him to soar to the sky, and it was even possible for him to become the leader of the Dafang Sect.
His talents and talents were not inferior to Jiang Mingxiao's, but he couldn't obtain the position of the Dafang Sect's leader. This was because the position of the Dafang Sect's leader had already been decided internally. Because Jiang Mingxiao was the grandson of the Sect Grand Elder, Jiang Quangui, no one else had a chance.
Jiang Mingxun was indignant. Why could Jiang Mingxiao become the Sect Leader without any suspense, but he couldn't? Hence, from the beginning, he had the idea of going to the forbidden area to search for the treasure, hoping to find it and become an exceptional expert.
Previously, the reason why he had dared to throw the map into the depths of the forbidden area without hesitation was not only to avoid Mo Wen. The most important reason was that he wanted to use this opportunity to leave the crowd and search for the treasure alone.
"Treasure map!"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Previously, Jun Wulei and Gong Biluo had come here to take the risk because of the treasure. Now, Jiang Mingxun actually had a treasure map in his hands.
Could it be that there was really some treasure in this Underground Palace?
"Hand over the treasure map," Jun Wulei said coldly, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Jun Wulei raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted in a cold voice. Previously, he had suspected that there was only half of the treasure map. Now that another person with the treasure map had appeared, his previous guess was almost completely correct.
Jiang Mingxun laughed bitterly. He took out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom and threw it on the ground. He didn't even look at it, as if he didn't have any reluctance to leave.
In reality, Jiang Mingxun had long given up on the idea of searching for the treasure. He only wished to leave this place or get out.
Along the way, not only had he not seen the shadow of the treasure, but he had also encountered endless dangers. He didn't know how he had survived in such a dangerous place. He had been wandering aimlessly in the Underground Palace, not knowing when he would die.
If he had a choice, he definitely wouldn't have had any more thoughts of searching for the treasure. He would have stayed at the periphery of the forbidden area obediently and never stepped in.
No wonder that the treasure map had been in the Dafang Sect for so many years, and no one had come to search for it. Most likely, they had already known about the dangers inside.
Jun Wulei extended his hand and the treasure map appeared in his hand. Then, he took out a sheepskin scroll that was almost identical to the one in his bosom. He unfolded the two sheepskin scrolls and joined them together.
The next moment, a shocking scene happened.
The two sheepskin scrolls seemed to emit two masses of black light at the same time. Then, the two masses of black light slowly merged together. The two sheepskin scrolls also started to merge strangely, as if they were one.
"Secret Scroll of Magical Weapons."
A look of horror flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Only a secret scroll of magical weapons refined by an Immortal Cultivator could have such an effect. The two sheepskin scrolls were not ordinary sheepskin scrolls at all. They were two magical weapons that could only be refined by an Immortal Cultivator.
Also, the magical weapons refined by an ordinary Immortal Cultivator were very crude and could not be maintained for a long time.
These two sheepskin scrolls had at least a few thousand years of history. It was simply shocking that they could achieve such an effect. It was very likely that they were the work of a Mighty Immortal Cultivator.
After the two sheepskin scrolls merged together, a strange black stratagem appeared in the air. In an instant, it enveloped the four of them. Everyone's body was enveloped in a mass of black light.
The next moment, the four of them disappeared from their original positions. Strangely, they had completely disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had never appeared, or had directly evaporated.
In the depths of the forbidden area, in a strange palace, a black stratagem had appeared slowly. The dim light caused the entire ancient palace to be covered in a layer of eerie atmosphere.
Mo Wen, Gong Biluo, and the others had mysteriously appeared in the palace. It was as if time and space had changed, and the environment had completely changed.
"Where is this place?"
A glint of shock flashed in Jun Wulei's eyes. He looked at the surrounding ancient palace, which seemed to have been buried underground for tens of millions of years. The scene that had just happened was really unbelievable and could not be explained with common sense.
"We should still be in the underground palace," Gong Biluo said indifferently as she looked at the surroundings.
Gong Biluo glanced at the surroundings and said indifferently. She was only guessing and had no basis. However, a woman's intuition was always very accurate.
"We are indeed still in the underground palace."
Mo Wen nodded his head. The distance that they had teleported to just now was not very far. Also, the surrounding aura was almost exactly the same as the aura of the five stone doors that he had sensed in the karst cave.
Perhaps they were already inside the stone doors now. However, he really did not know where exactly this place was. If Jun Wulei had not accidentally obtained the secret scroll of magical weapons, he would definitely not have been willing to come to this underground palace.
He naturally understood his own capabilities. With just the few of them, coming to this place would definitely be a narrow escape from death.
The palace was empty. It was very, very huge, and there were almost no furnishings in it. There was not even a dragon pillar. It was unknown how such a huge palace could be supported. The surrounding walls were engraved with many patterns and weird runes. In the border area, there were many stone doors. Behind those stone doors, there were passageways that extended in all directions, emitting a thick and gloomy aura.
"What are those colorful balls of light?"
Gong Biluo suddenly pointed at the top of the palace. Above their heads, there were colorful balls of light. They were only the size of a fist, and there were many of them. They emitted a hazy glow and were very beautiful.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen looked over. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, and a glint of horror flashed in his eyes.
"Primordial Soul Pearls! So many! How is this possible! "
He cried out involuntarily. So many Primordial Soul Pearls were simply too shocking. Not to mention in this lifetime, even in his previous lifetime, he had never seen such a scene.
There were tens of thousands of Primordial Soul Pearls in the sky, and they were almost uncountable. Any immortal cultivator who saw such a scene would most likely feel their blood run cold.
Mo Wen had only seen Primordial Soul Pearls once, and that was a long time ago. An elder of the Divine Pill Sect had passed away. Before he died, he had left behind an inheritance and searched the entire sect for a suitable disciple to receive the inheritance.
That time, he was fortunate enough to go and observe, so he had seen Primordial Soul Pearls that only immortal cultivators above the Supreme Profundity Realm would have. The scene at that time was too shocking. The power that was almost comparable to that of a deity was completely displayed in front of him.
However, it was a pity that there were tens of thousands of people present at that time, and only one person was lucky enough to receive the inheritance of that elder. (To be continued.)
