Two elders stood in the room where Gu Luolin had almost been shot by the God-Destroying Crossbow. From their appearances, it was clear that they were treacherous.
One's appearance came from one's heart. Someone with this kind of appearance was definitely not a loyal person.
Even if they were currently loyal to someone, they'd definitely betray their master in the face of personal profit.
"Huangfu, what are you doing there?"
The azure-robed elder glanced at the black-robed elder. After entering the five-gate maze, they quickly understood its true meaning.
Given the order they'd entered, they should've gone through the leftmost door.
"There's someone in that room!" The black-robed elder pointed at the door.
"So what? It's not like we didn't run into others along the way. Didn't we just see someone walking in front of us? We'd better follow our own order. If we mess up, all our previous efforts will go to waste. "
"Old Yuchi, have you gone senile?"
The black-robed elder glared at him. Displeasure flashed through the azure-robed elder's eyes, but the black-robed elder continued.
"The palace is only so big. How could there be so many rooms?"
"When we first entered, every door was very small, and the others were very close to each other. But after we pushed open the doors, five new doors appeared, and behind each door were rooms the same size as before. It's obvious that these rooms are isolated!"
"You don't need to tell me that!" said the azure-robed elder.
"You …." The black-robed elder pointed. "I really don't know how Zhou Wu took a liking to you. I've already said it all. Do you still not understand?"
The two elders were the heads of the Yuchi and Huangfu clans, two of the four great clans the God Emperor had raised.
Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming!
The two of them had fallen out with the God Emperor before entering the tomb. The rise and fall of their clans depended on whether or not they could obtain the transcendence fortune they desired.
If they came out of seclusion with their transcendent bodies, the two clans would reach the peak of their power.
Failure!
Given Zhou Wu's vengeful nature, their two clans would most likely be exterminated.
The two of them were the last ones to enter the paradise left behind by the Demon Emperor's remnant soul. However, they didn't stay at the Demon Emperor's remnant soul's place. Instead, they chose to enter the snowy mountain.
Therefore, he did not see the two of them at the foot of the snowy mountain or at the Devil Emperor's Peach Blossom.
Yuchi Kong still didn't quite understand the meaning behind Huangfu Youming's words. Huangfu Youming took a deep breath and explained.
"Since it's a separate space, how can anyone who enters the room be sensed?"
Yuchi Kong came to a sudden realization. Soon after, Huangfu Youming pointed at the arrow hole in the room and said.
"Look at the arrow hole. It's obvious that the arrow came from this room. The other rooms can be directly pushed open, but the door of this room cannot be pushed open. You should understand now! "
"This room isn't a separate dimensional space!" Yuchi Kong said.
Dimensional space was a space that was separated from the plane. The two spaces were in a parallel state, and there would be no intersection between them.
The room Yuchi Kong and co. were in was connected to Ye Zichen's room.
This meant that these two rooms were in the same space. Compared to the other rooms, which were all dimensional spaces, the answer was obvious …
This was the real room that the people who entered the tomb had been searching for!
"You finally understand!"
Huangfu Youming shouted hatefully when he saw that Yuchi Kong had finally understood.
The two of them were grasshoppers tied to the same rope. Transcendence or not, they had to work together to ensure the safety of their clan.
Yuchi Kong was an outstanding talent amongst the monarchs, and was even stronger than the Bai family's old ancestor.
Huangfu Youming was rather satisfied with working with him.
But this guy's brain reacted so slowly. Huangfu Youming was truly worried about whether or not working with Yuchi Kong was a wise choice!
"There's definitely someone in this room. Perhaps the transcendence fortune we've been searching for is in there," Yuchi Kong's eyes were filled with shock.
In truth, he had been on tenterhooks ever since entering the tomb. He was worried that the clan would be targeted by Zhou Wu. He was also worried that if they couldn't obtain the transcendence fortune, then what would happen to the clan if they left so decisively?
Along the way, he began to think of a way out for himself and his clan, but who would've thought …
They really were fated to transcendence!
"You should've seen that Divine Arbiter girl, right?" Huangfu Youming said, "She's not far behind us. If she's allowed to enter this place and notice an inkling, then we won't be able to defeat her who's proficient in Spatial Dao Arts if we fight in such a narrow space!"
"As for her status with Zhou Wu, you know it. She's his loyal aide!"
"She's absolutely loyal to Zhou Wu. If we betray him, she'll hate us to the bone. I don't want the transcendence fortune to be snatched away by that girl!"
Huangfu Youming's eyes flickered with ruthlessness. That was just his nature.
After learning that Zhou Wu wasn't fated to transcendence, he'd abandoned him without hesitation. He could imagine Zhou Wu's hatred for him even if he used his toes to think.
He had a great desire for transcendence, or rather, everyone did.
The real room was right in front of them. He didn't want anyone to come out and mess things up!
"Then what are we waiting for?!" Just as Yuchi Kong was about to attack, he was stopped by Huangfu Youming. "Don't. Since we're sure that the real room is behind this door and there's someone inside. As long as we keep an eye on it, they definitely won't be able to escape. Right now, we need to pay attention to the others outside … "
"As long as we attack here, those who haven't entered the subdimension will definitely find us."
"That also means that we need to end this quickly. We need to blast open this door and deal with the people inside before those people rush over."
"What do you mean?" Yuchi Kong frowned.
"Don't hold anything back. Finish the battle as quickly as possible!"
Yuchi Kong's expression tensed up. He nodded heavily, then blasted the door without holding anything back.
Dong.
The loud explosion outside was clearly audible in Ye Zichen's room. When Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming blasted the door open, they could see Gou Monan's face turn pale.
The energy blasts of two Monarch-level experts were a huge burden on Gou Monan.
"Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid of attracting other people over!?"
Gu Luolin glared. Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming's conversation could be heard clearly from within the room, so she knew that there were two people outside the door.
"I'm afraid that they want to deal with us as quickly as possible, so they don't care about anything else!"
Gou Monan clenched his teeth as large beads of sweat dripped down his face. Meanwhile, his hands continuously formed hand seals to stabilize the barrier in front of the door.
This time, people really did come knocking. Gu Luolin was no longer as playful as before.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need!" Gou Monan shouted. "Go and tell Brother Ye the sequence. We'll be safe once Brother Ye opens the secret passageway. Otherwise, even if we stay here, their voices will only attract more people. The door will be broken through sooner or later! "
Ye Zichen continued to focus on resonating with the scroll through the Dao of the Five Elements. Every single rumble in the room had a huge impact on him. In terms of urgency, he was more anxious than anyone else.
However, it was just as Gou Monan had said, the door would be broken through sooner or later, so they could only open the secret passageway.
Otherwise, when the Imperial Monarchs arrived, and in front of these Imperial Monarchs who had transcended the Creation Realm, those Imperial Monarchs would definitely start fighting. With their cultivation realms, it would be a problem for them to survive the chaotic battle, let alone get a share of the spoils!
Even if it was just Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming, Ye Zichen and co. would be doomed once they entered the room.
With their personalities, they definitely wouldn't let them out alive!
There was no way out, so the only way was to open the secret passageway.
All of a sudden, a clear sound rang out in the room. Ye Zichen quickly called out.
"Gu Luolin!"
"Lightning, and finally lightning!"
Ye Zichen had figured out the sequence of the hanging scrolls. They were fire, wind, rain, lightning, lightning …
The Dao of the Five Elements in Ye Zichen's body circulated furiously. Lightning and lightning were the hardest to control, since they had a lot in common, so it was very difficult to separate them individually. No one knew if a single mistake would cause all their efforts to go to waste, so Ye Zichen could only carefully separate the lightning element bit by bit.
Crack.
Another clear sound rang out. At that moment, four sounds rang out in the room. Only the final element remained!
Dong!
The door to the room rumbled continuously, but it wasn't the sound of Yuchi Kong and co. smashing the door. Instead, it was the sound of Gou Monan being knocked back against the wall.
This caused Gou Monan to be gravely injured, causing him to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.
However, he immediately crawled up from the ground and continuously formed hand seals in spite of his injuries.
"Cough!"
Blood continuously flowed out, and Gou Monan's expression showed that he was at his limit.
"Move aside!" Gu Luolin pulled Gou Monan behind her and pressed her hand against the door, causing a green glow of energy to appear in her palm. It was no easy task to defend against the attacks of two great monarchs. At that moment, Gu Luolin finally understood just what kind of pressure Gou Monan had been enduring.
What kind of pressure.
The door was already showing signs of breaking, and Gu Luolin was unable to hold on any longer.
Rumble.
At that moment, a passageway leading downwards suddenly opened up on the white scroll. Ye Zichen's eyes lit up with joy.
"It's open, hurry over!"
Only then did he notice Gou Monan's injuries. He didn't even have the time to be shocked.
