A pot exploded at the exit.
"True Person Iron Fist is dead!"
"What's going on outside??!"
"Run!!!"
Some people ran in panic towards the depths of the ruins, some lay on the ground shivering, some shouted "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze", and a few brave ones took advantage of the chaos to touch True Person Iron Fist's body and reached out to dig through his storage ring. The storage ring that can hold the entire wealth of monk Meridian Opening Middle Stage is enough for an ordinary monk to last a lifetime. Several people reached out at the same time and pushed each other. Some even took out weapons and prepared to snatch it.
At this moment, there was another loud noise outside.
Boom!
The ground of the entire ruins shook. The huge space crack was shaken and fluctuated violently, and the light on the edge flickered like a candle blown out by the wind.
Immediately afterwards, the shock wave from outside Penetration broke the space barrier at the entrance of the crack, exploding a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye in the air inside the ruins, pushing the closest monks to stagger back.
Qin Tiexin pulled Duan Xuan back to the side and behind a boulder, and took a quick glance at the surrounding environment.
The light at the crack is still flickering, and through the wavy light film, you can see that the sky outside has completely turned blood red.
The sounds of fighting became more and more frequent, including the muffled sound of fists and feet clashing, the roar of Qi and Blood, and occasionally a short roar.
It's Yang Qingxue's voice, and True Person Gu Dan's! The battle outside is still going on, and it's approaching the entrance to the ruins.
There was another roar.
This time it was more violent than before, and the ground of the entire ruins was shaking violently. The gravel under Qin Tiexin's feet was shaken so much that it jumped up, and Duan Xuan held on to the stone wall next to it to steady himself.
There was the sound of gravel rolling down overhead, and a half-collapsed stone tower not far away swayed and collapsed in half with a crash, sending up a large cloud of smoke and dust.
In the sky at the edge of the ruins, the remaining halo of the mountain-sealing formation began to shake violently, and the formation patterns seemed to be torn apart by something from the outside, section by section.
Qin Tiexin He stabilized his center of gravity and quickly scanned every corner of his sight.
We can't stay here anymore. There are enemies outside who can at least kill Meridian Opening Realm instantly. Staying next to the space crack is the most dangerous option. The enemies outside can kill True Person Iron Fist. It's just a matter of time before we can pass through this crack.
Moreover, due to the fact that the ruins are about to be revealed, the formation itself is not very stable, and if it is affected by external battles, it may soon be shaken to the point of complete collapse.
Staying here will lead to death, whether you are rushed in by the enemy or buried alive by the ruins.
Where to go?
The buildings on the ground are not good, they can easily collapse; the empty square medicine garden is not good, there is no hiding place; Mystic Bone Mausoleum is not good, once the enemy comes in, it will be a living target.
He needs a place, a place with a hidden entrance, an interior Sturdiness, and a deep enough place.
He quickly ran through all the places he had visited in the past few days in his mind.
Got it!
The underground palace beneath the trial hall!
That place is deep underground, with a hidden entrance that can only be entered through a trial tunnel. Moreover, the hall itself was built with Sturdiness formation materials. It has experienced the impact of the mountain guarding formation being breached and two hundred years of weathering and has still not collapsed.
If there's any place in this ruin that can hold up, it's there.
"Let's go." Qin Tiexin pulled Duan Xuan, turned around and ran towards the direction of the trial hall.
Duan Xuan didn't ask any questions and followed him closely.
The two walked quickly along the path between the ruins. They met many monks who were also fleeing along the way. Some rushed towards the exit, some ran towards the depths of the ruins, and some squatted under the broken wall and shivered while holding the Law Artifact they had picked up. Others saw Qin Tiexin and Duan Xuan running towards the trial hall. They hesitated and followed them.
Demon Beast was also running. A huge Stone-Scaled Lizard jumped down from the gravel slope in front of the two of them. Without even looking at them, it spread out its four thick legs and ran wildly in the opposite direction, its tail swinging behind it.
Qin Tiexin led Duan Xuan through the gravel square outside the trial hall. The ruins of the huge hall still maintained their previous appearance. The half-collapsed dome shook off a few pieces of gravel during the shock, but there was no intention of collapse.
There were several monks standing outside the main hall who had also thought of this place, and were hesitating about which corridor to enter.
Qin Tiexin found a relatively spacious corridor in his mind and pulled Duan Xuan into it.
The heavy pressure and random force in the corridor still existed, but this time Qin Tiexin barely slowed down.
I don't know whether the blood food accumulated recently had an effect, or whether he had adapted to the force after walking back and forth in the corridor twice. The random force tried to pull him from both sides of his body, but his center of gravity stabilized with only a slight shake. Duan Xuan followed suit behind him, and with Qin Tiexin leading the way, the pressure she felt was obviously much less.
It took the two of them less than half the time to reach the end of the corridor and entered the inner hall of the trial hall.
The light pillars in the center of the hall are still towering, and Law Artifact, Materials, and Jade Slip are still lying quietly inside.
Qin Tiexin Ignoring the beam of light in front of me, I quickly came to the stone wall and fumbled with my fingertips on several green bricks until I found the different bulge.
This is it!
He exerted force with his five fingers, pressed the blue brick with his palm, and exerted force with his shoulders. The bluestone brick made a dull friction sound and slowly sank in. The wall shook slightly at first, and then next to the sinking of the bluestone brick, a stone step suddenly appeared and extended downward. There were no cracks on the edge of the stone wall at the entrance, as if the whole Shitou melted silently from the middle.
Duan Xuan stood behind him and was stunned when he saw the sudden downward passage.
"This is..."
Qin Tiexin turned sideways to let go of the entrance and glanced down. It was still quiet deep in the passage, the air was dry, and there were no traces of spiritual power fluctuations. He let out a long breath.
"Let's go." He stepped into the passage, Duan Xuan followed closely behind him.
The stone steps behind them closed automatically after they entered, leaving no trace behind.
The underground palace still looks the same, with a radius of a hundred feet, a huge dome, a wide space, and the ground is paved with neat white jade stones. However, the bones sitting in the middle have been carried away and buried by Qin Tiexin, leaving only piles of ashes.
Duan Xuan stood in the center of the underground palace, looking around the surrounding stone walls and domes. His eyes rested on the jade stones covered with Spirit Rune for a few breaths, and then turned to Qin Tiexin.
"What is this place?"
Qin Tiexin walked to a flat stone platform nearby and sat down, leaning Edgeless against his side, and moved his shoulders.
"Do you still remember the bones we buried at Mystic Bone Mausoleum? They were found here."
Duan Xuan's eyes widened slightly.
"You said those more than 500 human remains... were found here?"
Qin Tiexin nodded. "After passing through the corridor before, we should have entered different rooms. Did you get your Blood Silkworm Gold Silk in the hall above?"
"Yes." Duan Xuan said, "There was a light pillar here when I came in, but I didn't see a way down."
"At that time, I was threatened by Jiang Li in the trial hall, and I helped her get a knife." Qin Tiexin said, "Later I found out that each person can only take one, and I couldn't take any more, so I had to look around in the hall, and I happened to find this passage."
Duan Xuan sat down on the stone platform next to Qin Tiexin. She placed the long sword across her knees, remained silent for a long time, and then turned her head to look at him.
"Your Qi and Blood Realm Cultivation Method was also found here?"
"Hmm."
Duan Xuan looked at Qin Tiexin, opened her mouth, and closed it again. After a while, she whispered, "You are not the kind of person who is blessed with good fortune in the legend, are you?"
Qin Tiexin:"..."
Sometimes Qin Tiexin envies Duan Xuan for still thinking about these things when the enemy is coming from outside.
