It was only natural for Tuoba Ao to think this. After all, Li Bai had said that obtaining the secrets here required only kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Such a condition was simply too easy. So perhaps no formations had been left here at all. Since everything was meant to be left to later generations, there was no need to set up so many formations, was there?
The more Tuoba Ao considered this, the more likely it seemed.
Looking at the Thatched Hut just fifteen feet away, Tuoba Ao roared, "Whatever is inside, it's all mine!"
Then Tuoba Ao lunged forward. A single stride carried him across those fifteen feet, bringing him straight to the wooden door of the Thatched Hut.
Without hesitation, Tuoba Ao reached out and pushed. The wooden door swung open, and at that very instant, a streak of scarlet light shot out.
Tuoba Ao was startled, but his expression remained composed as he said, "Sure enough, it wasn't going to be that simple."
How could a hidden weapon like this pose any difficulty for him?
Tuoba Ao shifted, intending to dodge.
"What's going on?" Tuoba Ao suddenly discovered that he could no longer move. At that moment, he felt as though a mountain were pressing down on him, preventing him from taking even a single step and making it somewhat difficult even to breathe.
Tuoba Ao seethed inwardly. He knew that all this was the work of the formations here. They were restraining him.
"What can a mere hidden weapon do to me?" Tuoba Ao frantically concentrated the true qi within his body at his chest. He refused to believe this hidden weapon could injure him.
Even if he could not move, he would not fear this hidden weapon.
"Ah! This is-" Tuoba Ao
