Chapter 410 The smell of blood
"Yaoyao, there are so many people here. If we want to quietly take out the trick left by the Star Lord, it will probably not be easy."
Chen Yingjie frowned and looked at the people who were blocked outside the Xingluo Palace barrier, and said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter! Shi Yao said that only those holding the Time Wheel Jade Plate can pass through that place! Before they break the formation, let's find a hidden place to go in."
Bai Yaoyao turned around and was about to leave when she heard a sudden loud shout from the side.
"I knew you were not dead! How dare you plot against me like this!"
The four of them turned around and saw that it was Sun Weiguang, whom they had dealt with before.
Chen Yingjie's eyes flashed with brilliance and he went to meet him with a smile.
"I didn't expect to see Senior Brother Sun again. My brothers and sisters were suddenly sucked into the restriction. We panicked for a moment and thought it was Senior Brother Sun who did it. We said such words in a hurry. Senior Brother Sun, please don't mind!"
Sun Weiguang's anger froze on his face. Looking at Chen Yingjie apologizing repeatedly, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly!
What a panic! In a hurry!
If it weren't for them, how could he have spent so much mental and spiritual energy to break that damn mountain protection formation!
But now, in front of everyone, Chen Yingjie kept saying that it was a misunderstanding. What reason did he have to make trouble?
Sima An, who was standing next to him, saw Sun Weiguang's hesitant look and couldn't help but curse him in his heart, "What a fool!"
But he walked up to Chen Yingjie with a smile on his face.
"I have been worried about your safety, but now that I see you are all fine, I can finally put my mind at ease. Master respects Haotian Xuanzun the most. If he knew that we didn't take good care of you, he would punish us severely after he got out!"
Seeing Chen Yingjie's puzzled expression, Sima An quickly introduced himself: "My name is Sima An, I am a disciple of Venerable Yanlong, and I am a seventh-grader in Xuantian Sect."
Chen Yingjie greeted with a smile, and the two chatted happily for a while, and they actually felt that they had met too late, which made Bai Yaoyao, Lingmao and others beside them look at each other in surprise.
I really didn’t expect that Brother Chen would be such a brother!
Sima An and Chen Yingjie chatted for a while and found that this man was actually a smooth talker like himself, who never leaked a word. It was impossible for him to find out the purpose of their trip so easily.
Sima An's eyes rolled, "Junior Brother Chen, if Senior Brother Sun's attainment in formation is second to none among all the disciples of my Xuantian Sect, no one dares to claim to be the first. Now he has made some progress and will be able to break the formation soon. Why don't you ask Junior Brother Chen and the others to wait with us for a while, and once Senior Brother Sun breaks the formation, we can go into the Xingluo Palace together to search for treasures and help each other, how do you think?"
Chen Yingjie smiled and was about to find an excuse to refuse, but he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the side.
Everyone turned their heads to look and heard the sound of a magic weapon in the shape of a stick smashing hard on the barrier of the Xingluo Palace. With just three or two hits, a huge hole over three meters wide was smashed in the solid forbidden seal.
As everyone watched, several figures quickly jumped up, passed through the huge hole, and disappeared on the other side of the restriction!
Someone with sharp eyes recognized the origin of the stick.
“The Pestle for Breaking the Formation! This is the secret treasure of the Beast Taming Sect’s leader, the Pestle for Breaking the Formation!”
"I seemed to have seen Qin Daocheng come in earlier. The leader of the Beast Taming Sect is his uncle. This formation-breaking pestle must have been borrowed by Qin Daocheng!"
"Are you guys blind? Didn't you see that the leader of the group that just entered was Qin Daocheng?"
"Not good! Qin Daocheng has put away the formation-breaking pestle! This restriction can be repaired automatically, and the hole will heal soon!"
These words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves, and the crowd who were just watching the excitement immediately rushed towards the gradually closing cave entrance like a tide.
Sima An and Sun Weiguang looked at each other, turned around and ran without caring about Chen Yingjie and the others.
There is a ready-made way, so why bother to work hard to break the formation yourself!
If you had gone in a moment later, who knows who would have gotten the treasure inside!
Chen Yingjie looked at the backs of several people, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, returning to his cold and arrogant look.
Bai Yaoyao raised the corners of her lips and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Brother Chen to have this unique skill of changing faces! Awesome!"
Chen Yingjie smiled helplessly, "I just don't want to quarrel with them and waste time. Let's go! Let's go in during the chaos!"
Bai Yaoyao nodded and walked towards the restriction with a few people.
But of course they did not join the crowd in squeezing through the cave entrance that was about to close. Instead, they found a deserted place on the side and entered directly according to the mantra given by Shi Yao.
The place where the three people appeared was the palace square of Xingluo Palace. In the center of the square was a sculpture of Shi Yao carved from white marble. The sculpture was more than dozens of feet high, and nine giant dragons of various shapes stood around it. The dragon heads were raised to the sky, and the clear springs gushing out reflected colorful light in the sunlight, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, adding a bit of agility and vitality to the towering palace behind the square.
After more than a thousand steps, the Xingluo Palace stands quietly.
It has a magnificent shape and is resplendent in gold and jade. The roof is covered with golden glazed tiles, which shine brightly in the sun.
Inside the hall, sturdy dragon pillars support the dome, and lifelike dragon and phoenix totems are carved on the pillars, demonstrating extraordinary momentum and dignity. In the center of the hall, a dragon throne made of crystal stone stands high above, symbolizing supreme power.
However, as soon as they stepped into the main hall, they found something wrong.
As the main hall of the Palace Master, Xingluo Palace should be the place with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Xinggong Mountain Gate.
But at this moment, not only was there no spiritual energy in the entire Xingluo Palace, but there was also a very faint fishy smell in the air.
“It smells like blood!”
Chen Yingjie and the civet cat were both military personnel and were very sensitive to the smell of blood, so they could smell it immediately.
The short blade in the civet cat's hand flew, and he looked around vigilantly: "The people who just entered are now gone. The spiritual sense is restricted in this palace, so we have to be careful."
Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but frowned as she looked at the system map. "From the map, it seems that there are only four of us in the entire Xingluo Palace!"
Murong Liuguang had already summoned all his pets to guard the area. Hearing this, he felt horrified: "How is this possible! Those people came in right under our noses, in less than a minute!"
Bai Yaoyao: "Either they are trapped in a new restriction like you were before, and the system map cannot show them, or they are already dead!"
The system map will not mark the dead!
"No matter what, let's go to the Dark Palace first!"
Bai Yaoyao and a few others walked straight towards the lofty dragon throne.
Walking closer, Bai Yaoyao activated the Xingluo Immortal Technique, filled his hands with spiritual power, and slapped the armrest of the dragon throne with one palm.
"Crack!"
A dark light gate suddenly appeared on the originally smooth crystal wall behind the dragon throne.
Bai Yaoyao released the spiritual power in his body to cover the three people and walked in...
