As more than a dozen human-shaped paper-cuts walked towards the main entrance of Lixue Hall, everyone could not help but hold their breath and carefully observed the bronze statues of blood axes in front of the main entrance so that they could respond in time if anything happened.
Under the gaze of everyone, the humanoid paper-cuts finally stepped onto the steps and walked to the bronze statues of blood axes.
It was at this time that the bronze statues of blood axes that had been staring at the paper-cuts finally made a move. The hand axes covered with blood were swung high, and then they slashed hard at the humanoid paper-cuts that had just come closer. There were countless muffled sounds, and all the human-shaped paper cutouts were torn apart by blood axes and scattered on the ground.
"Sure enough!" Cui Shuangyin clenched his fists and sneered, "These idiots are blocking the road, just smash them all and break in!"
Seeing Zhu Chaoqun and others, Shi Chishang pondered for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
As Shi Chishang showed his strength that was completely superior to his own level several times, unknowingly, Zhu Chaoqun, Kong Qixin, Qian Yixiao and other talented people began to acquiesce that he was the leader of the team.
Seeing Shi Chishang nodding, Qian Yixiao took the lead, with the shadow blade in hand, and rushed forward.
Immediately afterwards, everyone from the Yin Yang Sect, Xueguandao, Yin Family and many casual cultivators swarmed up and besieged the bronze statues of the Blood Axe.
After all, it is a force that is qualified to place the sect in the Divine Blood City. Even if Lixue Hall is only a third-rate force on the periphery, the bronze statue of the blood ax guarding the door is also very powerful. Each hand ax is wrapped with violent blood evil. Every slash was comparable to a full blow from Ming Lord at his peak.
Fortunately, those who were qualified to be included in this group to enter the Divine Blood City were not weak in basic strength. Even among the group of casual cultivators, the weakest ones had the strength of the late Ming Lord. Everyone swarmed up and cooperated in groups. In just a few moments, several bronze statues of blood axes had been destroyed.
"Hey! Why don't you do it?"
Shi Chishang was standing at the back, sending out his soul consciousness to sense the movement behind the door. He suddenly heard Cui Shuangyin's roar. He turned around and saw that the other party had just chopped off the head of a bronze statue with a knife, and was glaring at him with a violent face.
Shi Chishang didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he glanced away and continued to concentrate on sensing what was behind the door. Unfortunately, he didn't know what was behind the door. No matter how sharp his soul consciousness was, it would not be able to sense it after it spread through the door. Like a mud cow entering the sea, it disappears.
After a while, Shi Chishang, who still found nothing, could not help but shake his head slightly, and then swiped his finger like a sword in the distance. The bodies of the several bronze statues with blood axes that Kong Qixin and Zhu Chaoqun were attacking were all broken into pieces, like powder. Scattered all over the floor.
Killing several bronze statues with blood axes with one sword, Shi Chishang kept moving and stabbed out with several fingers. The remaining twenty or so bronze statues with blood axes were not able to escape the fate of being shattered. They all exploded and were densely packed. Copper shavings like powder flew away in the wind, making everyone stunned for a while.
"Senior brother, your strength has improved again!" Xueyi retracted his sword and said with a smile.
Shi Chishang smiled, looked at Cui Shuangyin, his eyes were solemn and powerful: "Excuse me, please push the door open."
Cui Shuangyin instinctively wanted to be furious when he heard this, but when he thought about it, Chi Shang had just pointed his sword to kill many bronze statues of blood axes, his face couldn't help but froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
With so many dangerous bronze statues of blood axes set up in front of the door, Lexuetang is obviously not a kind place. Asking him to open the door will undoubtedly make him face the danger behind the door.
But with the strength Shi Chi Shang showed, if he didn't obey, the other party might just strike with a sword.
Seeing Cui Shuangyin standing frozen on the spot, Zhizhi's eyes rolled as her temporary partner. Just as she was about to persuade Shi Chishang, she felt a sword intent coming from the air, forcing her to stop. When she turned her head, she saw that she had an arrogant temperament. Cheng Baihe, who was like a swan, was staring over with cold eyes. The ethereal sword intent was now united and locked on him from afar.
Realizing that Shi Chi Shang's eyes were getting more and more impatient, Cui Shuangyin hesitated for a moment, but nodded bravely, then turned and walked towards the door, taking advantage of the situation to gather all the ghost power to its peak, and the vast evil spirit surrounded his body, and the killing blow in his hand The pig knife's breath became more and more fierce.
With a creak, Cui Shuangyin came to the front door and stretched out his hand, quickly pushing open the two dark doors.
At this moment, everyone in the distance was on alert, and their skills were at their peak. However, until the two doors were completely opened, nothing strange happened behind the doors. While everyone was secretly surprised, Cui Shuangyin couldn't help but sigh. Gasping.
Shi Chishang looked inside for a few times and found that behind the door seemed to be the front gate square of Lixue Hall. After thinking about it, he walked straight to the threshold and ignored Cui Shuangyin who was standing next to him with a look of rejoicing after the disaster. He looked inside intently. .
At first glance, the Qianmen Square looks quite neat. There are several willow trees planted on both sides of the empty square. Directly in front is a main hall. Looking at the scale and grandeur, you can tell that it is probably the main meeting hall of Lixue Hall. The walls on the left and right of the main hall There are several corridor doors on each side, perhaps leading to other places in Lixue Hall.
Shi Chishang pondered for a moment, then took the lead to cross the threshold, walked slowly to the center of the square, and then continued to observe the corridor doors.
After a while, Shi Chishang looked back at the people who were following him, and said with a smile: "There are four doors here, and we happen to be four groups. How about we each choose a door to see what opportunities we can get and see our own destiny?" "
The Yin family and a group of casual cultivators were naturally very happy. They thought they would compete with the Yin Yang Sect for food this time, and they were secretly worried. Now that they heard that they could act alone, they were naturally extremely happy.
Seeing that no one objected, Shi Chishang nodded immediately, greeted Shang Kong Qixin and others, and walked straight towards a corridor door.
After stepping into the corridor door and seeing no one following him, Cheng Baihe said dissatisfiedly: "Do you really want to give them the opportunity?"
Hu Zhebin nodded and said: "Yes, although our mission is not to obtain opportunities, if there is a chance, it will definitely be better to get the inheritance of these sect forces with our own hands than to only provide a piece of information!"
Qian Yixiao curled his lips: "That is to say, who would want to have too little opportunity?"
"What's the rush?" Faced with several people's questions, Shi Chishang just smiled leisurely and explained, "The other corridors either lead to the disciples' dormitories or the Patriarch's Hall, which are all places with little profit. We This corridor leads to the Sutra Pavilion of Lixue Hall."
"Soul Flame, how did you know?" Youquan grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked in surprise.
Kong Qixin suddenly realized: "Yes! Soul Flame, you seem to recognize these ancient characters, so did you say that on purpose just now?"
"Otherwise?" Shi Chishang shrugged and said with a smile, "The north of Shenxue City has been sealed for thousands of years and its energy has been exhausted. I don't think we should even think about those spiritual plant pills. Even if they still exist, most of their energy has been lost. It’s not of much value, but these scripture exercises are the most valuable.”
"Then why are you still dragging your feet?" Qian Yixiao looked excited, "Hurry up and speed up! Hurry up and grab those scripture skills first!"
While talking, several people had already passed through the narrow corridor and arrived in front of an attic.
Seeing that the attic door was closed, Qian Yixiao strode forward, held the shadow blade against the door panel and pushed it gently. Hearing a creak, the door slowly opened, and what everyone saw was an entire floor of empty bookshelves. .
His hope failed, Qian Yixiao felt startled, and Shi Chishang also looked surprised when he saw this. He stepped past him into the attic, glanced around a few times, and frowned: "Is it possible that someone has already come in beforehand?"
"It's not like that, otherwise the bronze statues of blood axes at the door wouldn't be there." Zhu Chaoqun said softly as he followed closely into the attic.
She observed attentively for a moment and saw that the bookshelves in the room were either tilted here or there or in tatters. She frowned and said: "The dust on the bookshelf and the ground are basically the same, which means that someone hurriedly took away the whole room before the city of Divine Blood was sealed. Kung Fu, Soul Flame, I remember there were words on the door beam of the hall just outside the door, did you notice it?"
Shi Chishang thought about it and said thoughtfully: "I remember, it seems to be... the Blood Palace."
"Then let's go back and take a look," Zhu Chaoqun said solemnly with a flick of his sleeves, "I guess that maybe on the eve of the sealing of Shenxue City, Lixuetang received the news and hurriedly gathered the resources in the door. As for whether to take away the hidden Get up, or set up a inheritance test within the sect, it just depends on our luck."
"So you guess it's in the Blood Palace?" Shi Chishang asked.
Zhu Chaoqun nodded: "Under normal circumstances, the probability of going to the Ancestral Master Hall is high, but since someone has already chosen that path, we are still one step behind in the past, so we simply take a gamble and try our luck at the Blood Lord Hall."
"Then let's go!" Shi Chishang smiled.
Several people came in high spirits, but unexpectedly they encountered a mess on the ground. Fortunately, after hearing Zhu Chaoqun's words, they also rekindled their fighting spirit. They quickened their pace and hurried back along the original road. After a while, they were back in the front yard. square.
Unexpectedly, a few people just walked out of the corridor, and three teams of people walked out. It was the Yin family, Xueguandao, and casual cultivators who had just separated.
Seeing them all turning back, the three teams were startled. Yin Fei reacted quickly and said with a smile: "How did you gain?"
"Nothing gained, so I came back," Kong Qixin shook his feather fan and looked at the three parties with a half-smile, "Where are you guys?"
The Yinfei City Mansion was deep, and when he heard this, his face showed regret, and he sighed: "Alas, I only encountered an empty building when I went there."
Zhizhi chuckled and said, "So are we. At the end of that road is their ancestral hall. The room is full of plaques. We paid our respects and came back."
Seeing Xue Yi spread his hands with helplessness, Shi Chi Shang muttered: "It seems that Li Xue Tang has indeed taken away all the resources, but I don't know which of your guesses it is, Junior Sister Zhu."
"Let's go in and take a look first!" Cheng Baihe said slowly with a solemn expression.
Shi Chishang nodded slightly and led a few people to the Blood Lord Palace. Upon seeing this, the three parties followed without hesitation.
Similar to the current two dynasties of the Holy Tang and Cambrian dynasties, although the Blood Red Empire is nominally a bloodline cultivator, it still essentially belongs to the spirit race and ghost race, so the overall building scale is built with reference to the human race.
Crossing the threshold, a group of people slowly entered the main hall. As far as they could see, the empty hall was filled with dark red masonry walls. In the middle, there was a walkway paved with red gold stone that spanned about ten feet, connecting the huge hall. It is divided into two, with a column with a strange blood pattern carved on its root standing on the left and right sides, guarding the elevated walkway.
Slowly walking along the walkway, Shi Chishang glanced around and found that in the entire Blood Palace, there were only candles placed on the railings of the walkway. The weak candlelight formed the only light source in the palace, making rows of rows of candles visible outside. The rest of the area behind the column is covered in darkness.
Moreover, Shi Chishang discovered that neither his eyes nor his soul consciousness could go beyond those blood-striped columns. It was as if there was an invisible force field that tightly sealed the surrounding darkness, giving no chance to spread towards this side. .
"Um?"
Shi Chishang frowned suspiciously. Why did he think that force was blocking the darkness instead of preventing them from exploring the darkness? Was it his inexplicable instinct that he had a premonition that there was a terrible and unknown crisis hidden in the darkness?
