At the center of the hall in the ruins of the Netherworld Divine Temple, the statue suddenly changed, causing the three of them to tense up. In the next moment, they heard cracking sounds coming from the surrounding walls. Several secret doors suddenly appeared in the originally seamless stone walls.
Then, a series of cracking sounds came from the doors. Dozens of stone puppets came out in a line and surrounded them from all directions.
The spiritual pressure fluctuations coming from these stone puppets were only at the late Deity Transformation stage. In front of the three Body Integration stage cultivators, they could easily destroy them. However, Yi Tian discovered that they were all engraved with the same golden seal characters. They formed a formation in front of them and formed three square formations.
In an instant, several rays of light flashed. The formation patterns on the stone puppets lit up and they formed a battle group. At the same time, their spiritual pressure fluctuations began to rise rapidly. They broke through the late Deity Transformation stage and only stopped when they reached the mid Severed Deity Transformation stage.
At a glance, there were 24 stone puppets. Although they were divided into three groups, each of them had to deal with eight of them. Furthermore, these stone puppets weren't weak. It wouldn't be a problem for him to fight eight of them at once. However, it wouldn't be easy to end the battle quickly. Who knew if there would be more? If it became a protracted battle, it would be troublesome.
His eyes swept over the scene in front of him and finally fell on the statue in the center. If he wasn't wrong, these stone puppets must be under the control of the statue. After thinking about it, he transmitted his deduction to the other two.
Soon, the three of them discussed a countermeasure. Yi Tian took out the Taiyuan Wood Sword and held it in his hand. Then, he turned it into a ray of light and flew toward the stone puppets in front of him.
With a bang, the stone puppets weren't destroyed as he had imagined. Instead, the eight puppets suddenly stood together. The spiritual pressure fluctuations coming from their bodies suddenly rose to the early Body Integration stage. At the same time, a gray light barrier appeared around them, blocking his attack.
Yi Tian carefully observed. Under the fierce attack of his Taiyuan Wood Sword, this group of puppets was indeed able to withstand the attack. However, it was clear that after the defense, their bodies had weakened. It was quite clear that the original owner of this place had never expected that three Body Integration Stage cultivators would come here 10,000 years later.
These stone puppets were indeed very troublesome to Severed Soul Stage cultivators, but in his eyes, they were just a waste of time.
Xiong Erbao and Yi Shun also began to move. Xiong Erbao's spirit force surged and he revealed his Iron-Eating Beast form. A black and white figure leaped out and charged into the group of stone puppets, knocking them to the ground.
As for Yi Shun, he dodged left and right, following the opening created by Xiong Erbao to the statue in the center. He stretched out a hand, surrounded by a large amount of golden light. After the golden light faded away, the claw of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon slammed into the statue. With a loud thud, the stone statue in the middle was punched by Yi Shun and fell to the ground.
Following that, a pitiful cry came from the statue: "You bad people, you only know how to bully weak women"
When Yi Shun heard this, he was taken aback and said, "Why is it a woman? Who are you?"
"This Queen is the Netherworld Consort, Her Highness Ning Xuan. It's unreasonable for you to trespass into my forbidden area." The voice from the stone statue sounded again, but this time, it was clear that there was a hint of childishness in its exasperation.
As the statue fell to the ground, the light in the eyes of the stone puppets that were blocking the way slowly dimmed. Yi Tian walked forward arrogantly, passing by the puppets and arriving in front of the stone statue.
After examining it for a moment, he smiled faintly and said, "What Netherworld Concubine? At most, you're just a spirit pet or spirit servant of the Netherworld Concubine. You're not ruthless enough to do something like petrifying and imprisoning people alive. "
"How do you know? Who are you?" The childish voice sounded again, but this time, it was clearly trembling.
Yi Tian said with disdain, "The Netherworld Concubine's strength should be about the same as mine when she was alive. However, after being trapped here for so many years, the lifespan of the people she brought here was exhausted. In the end, even she exhausted her own lifespan, but no one from the Netherworld Realm came."
The voice shouted again, "You're clearly not from the Netherworld Realm, so how do you know so many secrets of the Netherworld Realm?"
Yi Tian didn't answer. He took out the Great Abyss Sword and slashed at the statue's forehead. With a cracking sound, the head of the stone statue cracked open, and a white halo flew out from within. However, it didn't fly very far before it was bound by a ray of green light and pulled into a half-foot-tall clay doll.
After the halo entered the doll, Yi Tian took out a rune brush and quickly wrote a restriction rune on the doll's forehead. After three breaths of time, he looked at his work with satisfaction and placed it on the ground. He smiled and said, "Now we can talk. Who are you and why are you hiding in this statue?"
"I am the Netherworld Concubine, Ning Xuan." The voice replied with a bit of anger.
Yi Tian didn't get angry when he heard this. He just formed a seal with his hands and pointed at the clay doll. He casually said, "Get up and train." Instantly, the clay doll standing on the ground started doing all kinds of splits, horse stance, and other martial arts training movements.
A terrified voice came from the doll's mouth. "What did you do to me?"
"I saw that you didn't have a body, so I prepared one for you. It seems you haven't gotten used to your new body yet. How about you do some more moves to get used to it?" After saying this, Yi Tian didn't pay any more attention to the doll's words. He formed a seal with his hands and said one difficult martial arts move after another.
After a while, the little thing was out of breath from exhaustion. Xiong Erbao and Yi Shun, who were at the side, saw this and revealed a playful smile on their faces. The three of them came all the way here and didn't expect to be almost scared by a little thing. If they didn't get back at him, the following questioning would be much easier.
After all, the three of them could only be considered intruders. If someone familiar with the environment led the way, it would be much easier.
After a while, Yi Tian finally stopped the spell in his hand and asked, "Speak, who are you? Don't use the name of the Netherworld Concubine Ning Xuan to scare us."
"This little one is the spirit pet of the Netherworld Concubine Ning Xuan, Jia Li. The Concubine waited here for Emperor Yuanhao for nearly three thousand years to no avail. In the end, she died of depression. Before she died, she took out my soul and placed it in this statue because she didn't want people to lose the clues." The doll opened its mouth and replied.
So that was the reason why Emperor Yuanhao had hidden the old concubine of Netherworld, Ning Xuan, within a radius of ten thousand miles around Wu Leng Mountain. It was true that she was able to fool the public. Unfortunately, not long after that, he was overthrown by someone. That was why the old concubine of Netherworld had to wait here until her lifespan ran out.
