Linlong wasn't around, so they naturally followed Qian Jiayi's lead.
After thinking for a while, Qian Jiayi said, "Our top priority now is to improve our strength. If we improve our strength, we will be able to deal with them no matter how many people they send in."
"Young Miss Qian is right." The others nodded in agreement.
Qian Jiayi continued, "I think there must be more people who came in with Eunuch Liu, but there shouldn't be many of them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met Eunuch Liu alone, but two or three of them …"
"If that's the case, we can't stay in the periphery anymore. If we meet two people like Eunuch Liu at the same time, we will be in danger. Therefore, we must go deeper. Of course, with our strength, we can't go too far."
"Then we will do as you say, Young Miss Qian." Her words received the approval of the others.
After that, they left the place and headed deeper inside.
Miao Feng had already recovered. Previously, he was only frozen and suffered some superficial wounds, so it was nothing serious.
He was naturally glad that Eunuch Liu didn't kill him after capturing him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive now.
When Qian Jiayi and the others headed deeper inside, Linlong's eyes lit up because he found the altar in front of him.
The altar occupied a large area, comparable to the Icepeak Nation's imperial palace.
Linlong was a little surprised to find the altar so quickly. It also showed him that the fourth floor wasn't very big, and it was obviously much smaller than the third floor.
Apart from the buildings, the altar was empty. Linlong didn't find any living creatures, nor did he find the spatial crack that he was most concerned about.
Could it be that he could only find it after entering the altar? Such a thought flashed in his mind.
He immediately walked toward the altar.
He didn't expect to be blocked by an invisible energy after taking a few steps. It would be the same if he moved to another place.
Obviously, there was also an invisible barrier blocking them. Moreover, this barrier even blocked people! Linlong thought.
At this moment, he naturally understood why there were no fierce beasts in the altar.
In this case, he could only try to attack and see if he could break the invisible barrier.
Linlong immediately took out his rune sword and slashed at the invisible barrier in front of him.
The Sword Qi silently struck the invisible barrier. Then, the place where the Sword Qi struck suddenly flashed with a rune.
In just a blink of an eye, these runes immediately disappeared.
Lin Long frowned and tried again. This time, the effect was the same as before. He was still unable to break through the invisible barrier.
After that, Linlong changed positions a few more times, but the result was the same. He still couldn't break through the barrier.
After trying a few times, he walked to a spot that looked a little special.
The reason was that there were two neat rows of big trees around the place he was occupying. Not only were these trees neat, but they were also of the same size.
After taking another look at the altar, Linlong understood. Obviously, if there was no barrier, this would be the path to the altar.
Seeing this, Linlong immediately slashed forward with his sword.
This time, the Sword Qi was not obstructed at all and directly slashed in.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Long understood that there was no barrier in this direction.
Sure enough, no one stopped him after he walked over.
Obviously, this place could not stop humans, but it could stop ferocious beasts. Otherwise, ferocious beasts would have already rushed in.
After taking a few more steps, Linlong was still not stopped by anything.
Was it really that easy to enter the altar? This made him feel puzzled.
However, in the next moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the stone pillars on both sides. At first, Linlong thought it was a ferocious beast, but after a closer look, he realized it was a rune beast.
The rune beast blocking here was definitely not weak. Hence, Linlong did not plan to fight it. Instead, he wanted to go around it.
However, no matter where he went, the rune beast would block his way.
He could tell that if he did not deal with this rune beast, he would not be able to take another step forward.
At that moment, he could only take out his grade 5 Ice Talisman.
After silently chanting a rune term, the Ice Talisman in his hand started to burn. Then, a wave of cold air attacked the rune beast.
At the same time, the rune beast's body also emitted a powerful cold air.
What made Linlong's expression turn ugly was that the rune beast's cold air was clearly stronger than his.
In just a short while, Linlong could not hold on any longer. He could only retreat. Fortunately, the rune beast did not continue to attack. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to escape.
It seemed like he could only raise his strength before dealing with it, Linlong thought to himself.
Fortunately, there were opportunities here that could allow him to raise his strength as quickly as possible.
Linlong immediately turned around and walked back the way he came. Along the way, he had discovered many opportunities. As long as he entered them, he would be fine.
Not long after, he arrived outside the last land of opportunity that he had discovered.
However, when he saw the entrance of this opportunity, Linlong's expression turned ugly again. There were several ferocious beasts here, and they were not weak either. He was not confident that he could take them down.
Hence, he could only continue walking the way he came.
After walking for a while, he arrived at the vicinity of another opportunity. When he arrived here, his expression turned ugly again. There were also several ferocious beasts near this opportunity.
If he went over, he would definitely attract the attention of those ferocious beasts.
Helplessly, he could only continue walking backward.
After walking for an hour, he finally found an opportunity that did not have any ferocious beasts.
After a round of investigation and triggering the mechanism at the entrance of the opportunity, a cave appeared in front of Linlong. Below it was a flight of stairs leading downwards.
Walking down the stairs, Linlong soon arrived at a cave.
After carefully sensing it, a smile appeared on Linlong's face. This was because this opportunity could sense level-five ice talismans. Moreover, it was not as unsuitable for him as the other opportunities in the periphery.
When Linlong entered this opportunity, Qian Jiayi and the others were fighting with four ferocious beasts. They did not have a strong Divine Will like before, so it was easy for them to encounter ferocious beasts as they walked in.
This was already their third time fighting ferocious beasts.
They did not enter too deep, and these ferocious beasts were not strong. Hence, after a fierce battle, they were able to take down these ferocious beasts.
To their relief, no ferocious beasts rushed over after hearing the news.
"The opportunity is nearby. Let's search carefully!" Qian Jiayi said after killing these ferocious beasts.
The reason why they came here was because they sensed the opportunity here.
Everyone immediately began to search the vicinity.
After a while, Wang Yingxiang said happily, "It's here!"
Hearing his words, Qian Jiayi and the others immediately looked in his direction.
After taking a look, their faces turned a little ugly. This was because there was a person standing right in front of Wang Yingxiang. This person was a middle-aged man with a fair face and no facial hair. He was wearing an official's robe, and it was obvious that he had entered with Eunuch Liu.
At this moment, Wang Yingxiang also discovered the other party and hurriedly retreated.
"Lord Hu, I did not expect you to come to the fourth level!" Qian Jiayi said with a frown.
After recognizing who the other party was, she naturally became worried. This was because Lord Hu's entry meant that the emperor should also know what happened inside.
This meant that many experts who could activate level-five ice talismans must have entered the fourth level.
The others who recognized Lord Hu were also worried like Qian Jiayi.
"Miss Qian, I did not expect the person who entered the fourth level to be you! Could it be that all of you have already mastered level-five ice talismans? "Lord Hu said.
He had a surprised expression on his face. Obviously, he did not expect Qian Jiayi and the others to enter the fourth level.
Moreover, he did not expect Qian Jiayi and the others to be able to enter the fourth level. This meant that they had the strength to deal with level-five savage beasts.
Although he was surprised, he was not worried that he could not deal with Qian Jiayi and the others. Because no matter how much Qian Jiayi and the others' strength increased by leaps and bounds, they were definitely not a match for him, who had immersed himself in level-five ice talismans for several years.
"Lord Hu, other than you and Eunuch Liu, how many others entered the fourth level?" Qian Jiayi asked directly.
"You saw Eunuch Liu?" Lord Hu was surprised again.
"That's right." Qian Jiayi nodded.
"Then how did you escape? Did you only see him from afar? "Lord Hu could not help but be puzzled.
Eunuch Liu's strength was comparable to his.
"Of course not. We have already fought with him!" Qian Jiayi said.
While she was speaking, Dong Luo, Miao Feng, and the other two had already surrounded Lord Hu without making a sound.
"Fought with him?" Lord Hu frowned.
He did not think that Qian Jiayi was lying, because Qian Jiayi and the others were obviously going to take the initiative to attack.
How could he dare to be careless? He immediately took out his level-five ice talismans.
Qian Jiayi and the others naturally took out their level-five ice talismans as well. Miao Feng had already replaced Young Master Gu's subordinate, so the five people surrounding Lord Hu could all activate level-five ice talismans.
"All five of you took out level-five ice talismans. Could it be that all of you have mastered level-five ice talismans?" Lord Hu could not help but be surprised when he saw them take out level-five ice talismans in unison.
Now, he did not suspect that Qian Jiayi and the others were lying to him. Therefore, he was naturally surprised that Qian Jiayi and the others could all activate level-five ice talismans.
It should be known that even if one comprehended the fortuitous opportunities here, one would not improve so quickly.
"Lord Hu, you will know once you try." Qian Jiayi smiled indifferently.
Previously, she had let Eunuch Liu escape. Now, she was confident that she could keep Lord Hu here.
Frowning, Lord Hu did not say anything else. Instead, he directly activated the ice talismans in his hands.
Qian Jiayi and the others also silently chanted the rune terms. In the next moment, streams of ice energy immediately attacked Lord Hu in front of them.
The ice energy that Lord Hu activated also directly greeted them.
At this moment, Lord Hu heaved a sigh of relief. This was because he could see that Qian Jiayi and the others were not strong individually. In this case, even if they outnumbered him, they would not be able to do anything to him.
However, in the next moment, his expression changed again. This was because he realized that the ice energy that Qian Jiayi and the others released was obviously stronger than his.
Thinking of something, he could not help but exclaim, "The five of you are together. Could it be that you are using some kind of joint attack technique?"
At first, he was puzzled as to why there were five of them. Now, he finally saw through it.
"Lord Hu, think about it carefully." Qian Jiayi said.
In the next moment, Lord Hu exclaimed again, "Where did you guys learn this joint attack technique?"
In this short period of time, he had already confirmed that Qian Jiayi and the others were definitely using a joint attack technique.
"Lord Hu, I'm afraid you won't know the answer to this question in the future." Dong Luo said.
Such words immediately made Lord Hu's back break out in a cold sweat.
Lord Hu wanted to escape, so he opened his eyes wide, hoping to find a flaw in these people's joint attack technique.
In the beginning, he did find a flaw, but these flaws were fleeting, and he had no chance to catch them.
This was naturally because Qian Jiayi and the others were familiar with it. If it was before, Lord Hu would definitely have found a chance.
Lord Hu, who could not find a chance, could not hold on any longer. Not long after, he was frozen to the ground.
Seeing that he could not resist, Qian Jiayi and the others withdrew the ice energy.
Then, Miao Feng strode up to Lord Hu, took his space ring, and tied Lord Hu's hands with a special rope.
He did not want to be as careless as Eunuch Liu and give Lord Hu a chance to escape.
At this time, Lord Hu also let out a sigh of relief.
Qian Jiayi asked, "Lord Hu, besides you and Eunuch Liu, who else came in?"
"Why would I tell you that?" Lord Hu said coldly.
Qian Jiayi could not help but frown. She did not know how to deal with Lord Hu.
"Miss Qian, let me do it." Seeing Qian Jiayi's expression, Lord Gu immediately walked over and said.
"Sure." Qian Jiayi nodded.
Lord Gu immediately took out his rune sword, then pointed at Lord Hu and said, "Lord Hu, if you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude. I will first cut off the fingers on your right hand!"
With that said, Lord Gu moved, the rune sword in his hand directly slashed at Lord Hu's right hand.
Lord Hu hurriedly wanted to pull his hand back, but in this short period of time, his hand was still in a stiff state, and he could not pull it back at all.
It's over, my fingers are going to be gone! Lord Hu was alarmed.
"Swoosh …"
Amidst such a sound, a sword light flashed past his right hand. To his relief, the other party was just scaring him, and did not really cut off his fingers.
In the next moment, Lord Gu said coldly, "Lord Hu, I was just scaring you. If you don't tell me, I will really be rude!"
After saying that, he once again raised the rune sword in his hand.
Seeing that the other party was not going to be lenient, Lord Hu did not dare to say no. He immediately said helplessly, "Alright, I will tell you."
