Now, most of the various spiritual lights outside the palace have dimmed, making it look no different from an ordinary palace.
This suddenly appearing palace seems to be the real core of this place. Could the method to leave be inside this palace?
Zhang Ling thought to himself. Suddenly, a figure flickered before his eyes, and a flash of green light appeared. The female cultivator in the Golden Core stage stood several feet away from him.
"Are you a cultivator stationed here?" The female cultivator's cold voice came.
Zhang Ling's face stiffened, but he still hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Senior, this junior is a patrolling disciple of Red Rock Mountain. Previously, Uncle Han Yu came to Qingyue Pool to reinforce us, and thus I mistakenly entered this place."
"Follow me."
After the female cultivator listened to him, she said this sentence indifferently for a while. After she finished speaking, the green light on her body rose, and she flew towards another place.
Zhang Ling frowned and controlled the flying boat to follow behind the female cultivator. He didn't know what this senior wanted him to do.
After a while, the female cultivator came to the edge of a mountain on the side and stopped in front of a cliff.
"You guys come out."
Then, three people walked out from behind a boulder. Two men and one woman. It was actually Tian Jing and two cultivators he had met before.
"Senior, I wonder what we can do for you." The old man among them's eyes lit up, and he respectfully bowed to the woman and asked.
"You can probably guess who I am." The female cultivator glanced at the faces of several people. "That's right, I am the reinforcement sent by Yixia City to this place. Now we are all trapped here."
"I have already checked. This place is an ancient ruin, and there are some restrictions around it. Ordinary methods cannot escape. Now the only hope to escape this place is that palace."
"If you want to escape this place, follow me to explore the palace." The woman in green did not waste any words and stated the purpose of looking for them.
Zhang Ling's heart sank. If what this woman said was true, then they would probably have a hard time escaping this place.
"Is there really no exit here?" At this time, the red-faced middle-aged man next to him blurted out a question.
The female cultivator did not answer, but instead stopped looking at the others and turned to face the direction of the palace.
"There is another force here. The person who fought with me before was also a Golden Core cultivator. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. As for whether to go or not, you can decide for yourselves."
The green light on the woman's body flashed, and her cold voice came. Then, she swayed and slowly flew towards the direction of the palace.
"Let's go. Following this senior, maybe we will have a chance to escape this place." The old man among the three said in a muffled voice, and followed the female cultivator away.
The water below has risen by two or three zhang. Before long, this place will be completely submerged. Although they are Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is difficult to survive in such an environment.
There are also ghost-faced fish in the water below. If this space is filled with black water, they will probably become fish food in a short time.
Following a Golden Core expert, the chances of surviving are greater. Understanding the situation at this moment, Zhang Ling followed without hesitation.
Afterwards, Tian Jing and the red-faced man also followed.
The palace was not far from them, and they arrived in front of the palace in a short while. Observing from a close distance, this was a stone palace built entirely of yellow boulders.
It was thousands of zhang long and wide, and nearly a hundred zhang high. The base of the palace was supported by a layer of gray flowing light, always keeping in line with the water below.
"Longevity Hall"
At this moment, the spiritual light outside the palace was already very dim. After probing forward with his spiritual sense, he saw three ancient characters on the main entrance of the palace, engraved on a huge black plaque.
The female cultivator in front of them looked at the three characters on the palace plaque and murmured.
"Longevity Hall, is it related to the Ghost King Sect of the ancient times?"
The woman's face was cold, and she thought of the old man who had been chasing her before. At that time, the young man seemed to be performing a blood sacrifice on that altar.
The old man chased her for a while, but after seeing this hall, he gave up chasing her. It seems that the purpose of those people coming here is this Longevity Hall.
Thinking of some of the situations here, the woman in green frowned slightly, then looked at the water under her feet. The black water had risen a lot again.
Seeing this, the woman in green probed the light curtain outside the hall, and her spiritual sense passed through without any hindrance.
It didn't seem to be a defensive restriction. The woman stretched out her right hand and waved two fingers in front of her, drawing a spiritual light talisman out of thin air.
Green light surged, and a series of subtle crisp sounds came out. Zhang Ling and the others saw that the light talisman flashed and shot out several ice cones the size of a foot, attacking the light curtain all at once.
The ice cones swished and pierced through the light curtain in front of them, hitting the ground in front of the hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling and the others naturally knew that this light curtain was not a protective restriction.
At this moment, Zhang Ling was shocked by the woman's ability to draw talismans out of thin air. Even high-level cultivators rarely could do that.
Could this woman be a cultivator who specializes in the art of talismans?
"Go"
The green light on the woman's body rose, and she took the lead to walk through the light curtain. Zhang Ling and the other four looked at each other and also followed through the light curtain.
The stone door under the "Longevity Hall" plaque had already opened a gap, and it was pitch black inside.
Seeing this, the female cultivator shot a ray of light from her hand, hitting the two stone doors, and immediately the stone doors opened wide to both sides.
Walking into it, everyone felt a cold breath coming towards them.
Zhang Ling sensed it. The yin energy in the hall was more than twice as strong as outside. The spiritual power in his hand moved, and the flying spirit shield circulated with light, constantly rotating around his body.
The others next to him were also nervous, and each released magical weapons to protect themselves. This was no ordinary place, and they were all naturally on guard.
On both sides of the passage, at intervals of five or six zhang, some green glowing spar stones were embedded, illuminating the passage with a green light.
He released his spiritual sense to probe forward for a distance of sixty or seventy zhang, and it came to an end. There was a large square space in front.
Soon after, everyone came to a square hall.
At first glance, Zhang Ling saw a human-shaped stone statue three or four zhang high standing in the center. And some ghost statues were also placed in the corners around, this place was very similar to the palace where they were trapped before.
Several people stood at the entrance of the passage, looking around. On the other three sides of the square space, there was a dark passage, not knowing where it led.
Suddenly a figure flashed and rushed out of the passage on the left in a panic.
"Alien Demon Race."
The red-faced man next to him saw this person, his face sank, the spiritual power on his body surged, and without thinking, he sacrificed a black flying knife, attacking with spiritual light.
This person didn't know if he had a violent temper or hated evil. He controlled the magic weapon to block the Alien Demon Race person.
This Alien Demon Race person was also in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but he seemed unwilling to fight. Before the red-faced man's attack arrived, he accelerated through the passage in front and disappeared.
The red-faced man chased to the entrance of the passage and stood in place. His face was gloomy.
