Even if the other party didn't discover it immediately, it was only a matter of time before they would be discovered if things continued like this.
"Qin Xuan, pay attention. I always feel that something is wrong with this place now, as if something is hiding in the dark, peeking at us."
Xiao Bai suddenly said to Qin Xuan nervously, his white fur almost completely standing on end.
Although its current strength was low, its spiritual perception was sharp enough.
Qin Xuan, who had already detected the abnormality around him, nodded slightly.
He had been extremely careful throughout this journey.
Thus, as Qin Xuan continued to advance, the wailing sounds in the surrounding caves grew stronger and stronger.
Qin Xuan ignored these wailing sounds and accelerated his pace.
After a while, he stopped, looking thoughtfully ahead.
Right ahead, the mountain belly suddenly narrowed, leaving only a stone wall.
On this stone wall, there was only one tall cave entrance, and in front of the entrance stood a tall Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron Door.
Strange, so many large and small caves were dug in the surrounding mountain belly just to imprison the Cultivators who intruded into Ghost Mountain.
But how did all the other caves disappear from this place, leaving only this one tall cave?
There was only this one tall cave on the entire cave wall.
Who was so important that they needed to be separated from everyone else?
"It seems that a powerful individual must be imprisoned here."
Qin Xuan was thoughtful.
Previously, both sides of the stone walls were full of caves, and each cave held blood corpses or prisoners.
But here, there was only one cave, and it was clear that its defenses were much more elaborate than the other caves.
Even the iron door at the entrance of the cave had a reddish tint.
"This is no longer an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron Door; this ten thousand year cold iron is mixed with red mixed copper mother!"
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan.
It was precisely because of the mixture of red mixed copper mother that the entire iron door appeared with a reddish glow.
"The strength of red mixed copper mother far surpasses ten thousand year cold iron. What kind of person is imprisoned here, that such means are required for control?"
Han Ye was incredulous, and Qin Xuan also felt his scalp tingle.
His double pupils looked through the red mixed copper mother into the interior.
The red mixed copper mother had some effect on his double pupils, but as more and more Spiritual Qi poured into them, the scene before him became clearer and clearer.
After a while, Qin Xuan finally saw the situation inside.
Behind the iron door was a cave. Although the door was tightly shut, the numerous green ghost fires floating inside illuminated the entire cave.
Clusters of green ghost fires were scattered throughout the cave, as if monitoring.
And in the very center of the cave, a disheveled old man, like a wild man, sat cross-legged.
The old man was tightly bound by a green chain, which passed through his shoulder blades, neck, limbs, and torso, binding him firmly.
Beyond the chain, the old man's head had a crack split by a green axe, which was stuck several inches deep inside.
Several black nails were hammered into the old man's palms.
Beyond the chain, the old man's neck was constricted by several black iron rings, making movement difficult.
The old man's chest was even pierced by a long sword, and hundreds of Talismans were pasted on his body, restricting him.
Outside the Talismans, a thick layer of Spirit Stones completely sealed the old man's body inside, isolating him from the outside world!
Eighteen chains mixed with red mixed copper mother bound various parts of the old man's body, hanging from the cave walls.
"Who is this old man, that he is subjected to even more terrifying Restrictions than the person outside!"
If it was just chains, then so be it, but this person's head was even split open by someone, and his chest was pierced by a long sword.
Besides these, his entire body was even sealed within Spirit Stones, like amber.
"This person's strength must be incredibly powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been restricted like this!"
Qin Xuan was thoughtful, looking at the other party with a sigh of emotion.
"To be so restricted, this person's strength must be earth-shattering, so much so that the owner of this place could only choose to restrict him."
The axe, upon closer inspection, appeared to be made of bronze, and its power must have been great.
But even so, the axe still couldn't split open his head.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan was thoughtful.
"Looking at it this way, it might be an opportunity!"
Qin Xuan already had a plan in his mind.
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Han Ye asked Qin Xuan curiously.
"Since this old man is trapped here, once the situation goes wrong, releasing him might buy us a glimmer of hope!"
Qin Xuan was certain that at the most dangerous moment, the Array Plate would be unreliable, and thus, this old man would become the most likely helper!
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan stared intently at the old man, pondering how to release him.
"Releasing him now is definitely not an option; he can only be released when it's truly dangerous. But by then, I'll already be inside, and it'll be too late to release this old man!"
After much thought, Qin Xuan's heart suddenly stirred.
"I have a good idea!"
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
With a flick of his fingertip, the Black Spiritual Fire immediately flew out.
"Burning this red mixed copper mother with your Black Spiritual Fire will probably take until next year!"
Han Ye couldn't help but mock, but Qin Xuan just smiled, controlling a portion of the Black Spiritual Fire to drill into the cave.
"The Spiritual Fire isn't for burning away these chains, but for burning away the Spirit Stone blocks!"
"Since they need these methods to imprison the other party, simply destroying the Spirit Stones can produce unexpected results."
Qin Xuan pondered, but looking at the red mixed copper mother chains, which were as thick as a baby's arm, he felt a little worried.
"Hmm, I'm afraid this person might not even be able to tear this place apart."
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Qin Xuan's mind.
"Didn't that person want to Possess me just now? This might be a way."
Saying that, Qin Xuan raised his hand and released the corpse puppet, continuously pondering while looking at the interior.
"What, what do you mean?"
Han Ye looked at the corpse puppet in surprise, becoming even more confused.
"This person must be extraordinary in strength to be so highly regarded. In that case, if I put the corpse puppet here, couldn't he Possess the corpse puppet?"
Saying that, Qin Xuan's eyes flickered.
He had set up multiple Restrictions on this corpse puppet. If this person really did Possess this corpse puppet, perhaps he could control the other party this way.
However, as soon as this thought arose, Qin Xuan gave a bitter smile.
He was thinking too much; it wouldn't be that easy to control the other party.
Such a strong person could shatter the Restrictions he had set up with just a raise of their hand.
But there was no other way; this was his only chance, and he had to seize it!
"Even if this corpse puppet is destroyed because of this, I must fight for a glimmer of hope for myself!"
Qin Xuan clenched his fists.
"But how could the other party, being so controlled, Possess the corpse puppet from such a distance?"
Han Ye said. Qin Xuan thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and then separated a trace of his sub-soul, letting it attach to the corpse puppet, while also leaving a trace of Spiritual Qi within the corpse puppet's body.
