"So that's how it is." Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, True Venerable Darknorth, who hadn't reacted for a while, suddenly understood Li Zun's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Li Zun's purpose of using the Demonic Nascent Shattering Technique was not only to exchange for a short period of power so that he could quickly break the Demon Spirit Tomb's restriction, but more importantly, he was no longer a Nascent Soul cultivator after shattering his nascent soul and could enter the Demon Spirit Tomb unhindered.
"Cultivators of the Hades …" True Venerable Darknorth rubbed between his eyebrows. "They are indeed difficult to deal with."
In a situation where victory was at hand, his moment of carelessness had allowed Li Zun to find a chance to survive.
"True Venerable, I will immediately enter the tomb to kill Li Zun!" Dantai Qingrun's expression was cold as she said coldly.
"Lord Dantai, it is too dangerous for you to enter the tomb alone." Xian Huaibi reminded her. "You must know that in the tomb, besides Li Zun who has just escaped, there are also cultivators of the Hades who have long been exploring inside.
Whether it is the understanding of the tomb's layout or the combat strength of their people, the Hades have a great advantage. If Lord Dantai rashly enters the tomb, not only will it be difficult to stop Li Zun, you may even lose your life. "
"That's true." True Venerable Darknorth agreed.
In this regard, Xian Huaibi's words were reasonable.
Dantai Qingrun frowned slightly and pointed to the tomb's entrance. "The problem is that the Demon Spirit Tomb's movements are so big that it will inevitably attract countless cultivators. Even our Zhishou Tower cannot risk universal condemnation and monopolize the Demon Spirit Tomb.
If we delay any longer, there will be too many people and it will be even more impossible to clear out the Hades of the Spiritual Mound. "
"Moreover," Sha Shuyan's eyes lit up as he continued, "although I don't know what the Hades of the Spiritual Mound are planning to do with the Demon Spirit Tomb, the Demonic Son of the Void has even bestowed a teleportation magic item.
Obviously, there must be something in the Demon Spirit Tomb that the Hades values very much. If we let the Hades do as he pleases, wouldn't it be exactly what he wants? "
"Therefore, I must enter this Demon Spirit Tomb." Dantai Qingrun said decisively, "Just as well. I also want to see who is stronger between me and the Master of the Hades of the Spiritual Mound after breaking his nascent soul!"
Her fighting spirit was overflowing.
True Venerable Darknorth pondered for a moment before instructing Dantai Qingrun, "Act as you see fit."
After a pause, he added, "To Zhishou Tower, you're more valuable than Revered Li."
"This subordinate understands," Dantai Qingrun replied calmly in response to True Venerable Darknorth's praise.
"I'll go in with you." At the side, Xian Huaibi gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say, "There might be some restrictions and traps in the Demon Spirit Tomb. I'm a body cultivator, so I can at least explore the path for you."
Redeem oneself by meritorious service, redeem oneself by meritorious service. How could one achieve meritorious service without taking some risks?
Moreover, Dantai Qingrun, who was also a deputy head of the Golden Elixir, wanted to enter the tomb without any hesitation. If he were to watch the show from the side, how could he control himself in front of others?
Xian Huaibi knew the importance of this matter.
Dantai Qingrun looked meaningfully at Xian Huaibi, but also took the initiative to say, "Alright, Head Xian will enter the tomb with me. We can take care of each other if we travel together."
Although she had a cold personality, she wasn't someone who didn't know how to adapt.
Turning her head, Dantai Qingrun said to Lu Qingshan, "You and Miss Qin will also enter the tomb with me."
Lu Qingshan wasn't surprised at all and nodded in agreement.
Dantai Qingrun's action of calling for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to enter the tomb with her caused True Venerable Darknorth to raise his eyebrows, but he didn't raise any questions in the end.
Don't use people you don't suspect.
It was impossible for Tantai Qingrun to not understand the risks of this trip, but she must have her own reasons for specially calling these two Foundation Establishment cultivators along.
Dantai Qingrun pointed at a black rat demon that was bound by True Venerable Darknorth's lightning snake. "True Venerable, please spare this rat demon's life."
"I understand." True Venerable Darknorth nodded and agreed.
The four of them flew together towards the completely open entrance of the Demon Spirit Tomb.
This time, when the four of them approached, none of them were obstructed or attacked in the slightest.
Before the entrance, Tantai Qingrun did not hesitate in the slightest. She took a step forward and entered the entrance that shone with multicolored light. The multicolored light was like rippling water, easily swallowing her.
Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian followed closely behind. They entered as well, and their figures were shrouded by the light.
Xian Huaibi hesitated for half a breath, then disappeared into the light as well.
…
This was a hall made of black jade, hidden deep in the ground. The black jade was sparkling and translucent, and four thick pillars supported the hall.
On the foundations of the pillars, there were ancient demonic patterns, all of which were different.
The foundation of the eastern pillar was engraved with vigorous dragon patterns, the western pillar was engraved with fierce white tiger patterns, the southern pillar was engraved with flying vermillion bird patterns, and the northern pillar was engraved with heavy black tortoise patterns.
These were the Four Ancient Spirits.
This was the Four Elemental Qi Fostering Formation that the Gengjin Tiger King spent countless materials to create.
These four pillars were a small part of the Four Elemental Qi Fostering Formation.
Dantai Qingrun, Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian appeared in the hall at almost the same time.
However, the moment they appeared, Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun both frowned.
"What a thick murderous aura!"
A thick murderous aura that could not be removed rushed towards them, like a raging sea. Wave after wave, it swept towards them and invaded their souls, causing their killing intent to rise.
"We can't stay in the Demon Spirit Graveyard for too long." Lu Qingshan said, "If we stay here for too long, under the influence of the murderous aura, our killing intent will become stronger and stronger. In the end, we might even lose our minds and become beasts that only know how to kill."
At this moment, Xian Huaibi, who was one step behind them, also entered the hall.
Being caught off guard by the murderous aura, Xian Huaibi's eyes turned slightly red. He quickly channeled his spiritual energy to suppress the murderous aura in his body, and his eyes returned to normal.
It was also their first time entering the Demon Spirit Graveyard, but Xian Huaibi's performance was not only inferior to Dantai Qingrun, but also to Lu Qingshan's.
"Do you have any way of knowing which passage Li Zun escaped to?" Dantai Qingrun scanned the hall and found that there was a passage in the North, South, East and West. She opened her mouth and asked Lu Qingshan.
The reason why she asked Lu Qingshan to enter the Demon Spirit Graveyard was not because of her sudden idea, but because Lu Qingshan took the initiative to transmit his voice to her and asked her to do so.
As for letting Darknorth True Venerable spare Rat Batian's life, that was Lu Qingshan's wish.
From her understanding of Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan would never do anything without a goal. For him to have such a strong desire to enter the Demon Spirit Graveyard, he must have found something.
Lu Qingshan did not disappoint her and immediately said, "Just take the passage in the west."
The Hades' ultimate goal was the physical body of the Gengjin Tiger King.
Because the Gengjin Tiger King's body contained the blood of the White Tiger, the Four Spirits Qi Fostering Formation naturally nurtured the murderous aura of the White Tiger.
And the place where the murderous aura was the most abundant was the West Palace.
Therefore, the Gengjin Tiger King placed his tomb in the West Palace.
