The Heavenly Emperor Blade said, "Precisely because Returning Mountain hides such terrifying dangers, I concealed those precious treasures here. That way, nothing could possibly go wrong! Haha!"

Thus, in Little Carrot's eyes, Ning Xiaochuan had suddenly stopped and then stood completely motionless, as though someone had cast a body-freezing spell on him!
