Chapter 225: Don’t take what God gives you, and you will suffer the consequences

After dealing with the bats, Huo Qinghuang prepared to go down the mountain and return to the imperial capital.

Not long after she walked, she suddenly stopped and frowned in thought.

This place is only about 400 kilometers away from the imperial capital, and it is not a sparsely populated place. How could the yin energy be so strong? Not only does the Ghost King appear, but there are also evil spirits such as giant bats.

Could it be that there is an entrance to the underworld here?

But when she scanned the surrounding terrain again, she found that this place was in Shanhaiguan, and the old Great Wall was not far away.

Looking down at the barren mountain below her feet, she suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

More than two thousand years ago, this place was a pass to resist foreign invasions. Countless soldiers were killed and wounded here, and over time, it became an evil place.

Therefore, the vegetation here is sparse all year round, especially at the foot of the mountain, where there is almost no grass. Only the vegetation on the top of the mountain is a little lush, but compared with other places, it is still far behind, and usually no one comes here to play.

To this day, the evil energy in this place has become increasingly strong, and as the spiritual energy is about to revive, turbulence has occurred at the junction of the yin and yang worlds, and a crack has been created by the evil energy.

The ghost king was also being chased by the underworld's ghost soldiers and had nowhere to go. While hiding from place to place, he accidentally bumped into a crack and came to the human world.

As for the ghost soldiers he summoned, they were the ghosts of soldiers who had died in battle here over the past two thousand years. Each of them was good at fighting and had extremely strong lethality.

Unfortunately, he was used by the Ghost King and died in vain at the hands of Huo Qinghuang and others.

"No wonder such a dark and evil place can form rare treasures. However, this matter has nothing to do with me. School is about to start. I will go back first."

Huo Qinghuang shook his head and decided not to get involved.

Now that an agreement has been reached with Sanqing Palace, it would be neither logical nor reasonable to intervene.

It is true that she is a demon, but she also keeps her promises. Well, at least when facing Sanqing Palace, she is more reasonable.

This brings us to the benefits of having a strong backer.

Even though Sanqing Palace is in decline now, it still has people above it.

That was an existence that even the Qinghuang Empress back then didn't want to provoke.

There are not just one but three such powerful backers, and Huo Qinghuang is not deliberately provoking them out of boredom.

If there was a conflict between the two sides over a rare treasure, and the younger one was beaten, then the older one would come and delay her practice, which would be a loss.

Of course, the Sanqing Palace was sincere, and Wuchenzi and others also had a good attitude. If they were like Xuanqingzi, she wouldn't care who the other party's backers were, she would just kill them first.

After all, who doesn’t have a backer?

But since she has already achieved enlightenment, she still feels a little ashamed to trouble her ancestors to clean up her mess.

She also has to save face.

Huo Qinghuang grumbled a few words in his mind, then walked down the mountain.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she was about to ask Da Liu to drive the car over, but she glanced around inadvertently and suddenly found that there seemed to be a cave on the right.

The entire cave is covered with thorns, and if you don't pay attention, you can't even notice it.

The reason she discovered the existence of the cave was because a faint mist was floating out of the cave.

This fog is completely different from the surrounding yin energy, and it faintly exudes a hint of mystery.

Huo Qinghuang's heart moved. Could it be that this cave was related to that rare treasure?

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in and find out.

If it is really a rare treasure, it means it is destined for her. If she does not accept it, she will suffer the consequences. I believe Sanqing Palace will understand.

As soon as I stepped into the cave, a damp smell hit me in the face.

Huo Qinghuang walked inside with brisk steps. The blood-killing dagger in his hand glowed a faint red light in the dim light, as if he was ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The air in the cave was damp and chilly, and the surrounding stone walls were covered with moss. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of water dripping from the top of the cave, which was crisp yet a little weird.

As she went deeper, the space inside the cave gradually became more spacious, and the yin energy around it became more and more dense.

Huo Qinghuang frowned, secretly alert.

Although she was not afraid of the evil energy, such a strong evil energy was obviously not something that could be found in ordinary places.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting to find out the inside of the cave as soon as possible.

After walking for about an hour, Huo Qinghuang gradually felt impatient, but as the yin energy became increasingly dense, she had no choice but to patiently continue walking inside.

After walking for about another half an hour, she suddenly stopped.

In front of her, there appeared a stone gate. It was tightly closed, about one person tall, covered with moss, and almost blended in with the surrounding mountain walls.

She examined it carefully and found that the stone door was engraved with ancient and complex patterns, and there were wisps of black mist lingering on it.

"This is……"

Huo Qinghuang stretched out her fingers and touched the pattern. A piercing chill instantly spread throughout her body, making her shiver uncontrollably. She quickly retracted her fingers.

Apparently, this stone gate has been attacked by evil spirits for many years and has undergone some changes. It is no longer an ordinary stone gate.

"I want to see what's hidden inside that makes it so mysterious."

After saying that, she observed the stone door and found that in addition to a few patterns on the door, there were also two keyholes.

But the strange thing was that she searched everywhere, even scraping the moss on the mountain wall, but she couldn't find the key.

"That's strange. There's only a keyhole but no key. How do you open it?"

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe it. I have to go in and take a look today."

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fist and punched out, hitting the stone door hard.

"Bang!"

The stone door made a dull sound and did not move at all.

"So sturdy!" Huo Qinghuang was stunned.

You know, her physical body is comparable to a magic weapon, but she couldn't shake the stone door even a little bit.

It seems that the material of this stone gate is of good quality.

She threw another punch, but just like last time, she failed to shake the stone door.

"No way, could it be that this stone gate has some kind of restriction?"

Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but complain: "This is the Dharma Ending World. Even if there are restrictions, they should have dissipated long ago."

Even though she thought so, she still held the bloody dagger horizontally, poured her spiritual power into it, and then stabbed it.

"bite!"

Sparks flew, the bloody dagger made a crisp sound, and was actually bounced away, without being able to hurt it at all.

Shock appeared on her face, and she murmured, "What kind of stone is this? It can't even damage a magic weapon?"

She was unwilling to give up and once again mobilized her spiritual power, stabbing down with her sword.

“Ding ding dong!”

The tip of the dagger hit the stone door repeatedly, but did not leave any mark.

"What's going on with this stone door? Why is it so difficult to break through?"

Huo Qinghuang was dumbfounded and looked at the stone gate in disbelief.

According to her imagination, even a copper wall or an iron wall could be broken, so how could this stone door not have even the slightest trace?

At this moment, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation under her feet.

Huo Qinghuang subconsciously looked down and saw a stone the size of a glass ball rolling on the back of her foot in an irrational manner.
