Lan Hua withdrew his right hand, finding nothing unusual; the silver light left no trace on his hand.

The shimmering light on the mirror surface quickly subsided.

"This is definitely the entrance to another dimension!"

Lan Hua thought for a moment, then stepped into the silvery light of the mirror without hesitation.

As her body sank in, Lan Hua felt a sensation of time reversal and space shattering.

In the blink of an eye, Lan Hua arrived in another space.

The space was dark and gloomy, with gusts of eerie wind and a chilling aura that sent shivers down Lan Hua's spine.

"Holy crap, what kind of place is this? Why is there such a strong demonic aura here?!"

Lan Hua quickly activated the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique, spreading a layer of Yuan Power around her to repel the demonic energy.

Looking around, there were many small boxes in the distance, each of which occasionally emitted a faint glow.

"After all these years, I've finally seen someone!"

"Yes, it's no longer that silly dog!"

"Finally, I see something new!"

The various sounds filled her ears, making Lan Hua tremble with fear.

"Stupid dog?"

Lan Hua was a little puzzled. "Could it be that besides me coming in, Gouzi also came in?"

A voice came from the box on the far right: "Hey kid! How about we make a deal?"

Lan Hua shook her head. "I don't know you well, there's no room for discussion!"

A voice came from another box: "Boy, open this box for me. Do you want to unify the Xuanhuang Continent, or have thousands of beauties by your side? I can grant your wish!"

Lan Hua said as she walked, "Not interested!"

"Kid, don't be ungrateful. Wait till I get out of here, I'll crush you!"

Lan Hua laughed, "Go outside first, then we'll talk!"

Although he was completely bewildered, he could tell from the sounds coming from the boxes that there must be sealed monsters inside.

The space was filled with demonic energy, and inside was only a box. It was obvious what was inside that box.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of Lan Hua, staring straight at him, which startled him.

The owner of that shadow was none other than the big gray dog!

Lan Hua waved and gave an awkward smile, "Brother Hui, hello there, long time no see!"

The big gray dog ​​growled a few times, then spoke in a human voice: "Lanhua, it's you. What brings you here?"

Lan Hua's expression froze instantly. "This dog can actually speak human language, so doesn't that mean it has at least the cultivation level of the Yuan Dan realm?"

He hadn't expected the dog to be so well-hidden; it must have been practicing silent meditation before!

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" Lan Hua countered.

The big gray dog ​​saw through Lan Hua's thoughts, casually sat down, and scratched its head with one of its front paws.

"Don't be so surprised. I'm not saying anything because your master asked me to!"

Lan Hua was speechless at his beautiful master's question, "Brother Hui, what are you doing in the forbidden area of ​​the Pill God Palace?"

He remembered that he hadn't seen the big grey dog ​​much lately, and that the dog was often away from home. It used to come back in the middle of the night, but now it simply didn't come home at all.

"Did you stay here all the time you were missing?"

The big grey dog ​​nodded. "You guessed right!"

Lan Hua was speechless. "Brother Hui, could you tell me what you do here every day?"

After some interaction between the human and the dog, Lan Hua finally learned about the big gray dog's conspiracy.

Ever since the big grey dog ​​followed Lan Hua to the Dan Shen Temple, it had been planning how to enter the forbidden area behind the cliff.

However, the back cliff is guarded by elders of the Dan Shen Temple, so it is not easy to enter openly. Only recently has a way to enter the forbidden area been found.

It's the underground tunnel that Lan Hua came through.

Even the big grey dog ​​didn't know how the hole appeared.

However, the big grey dog ​​guessed that the burrow was most likely dug by a monster that was good at digging, such as a pangolin.

There are indeed many pangolins on Danhua Mountain, and given the abundant spiritual energy of the mountain, there are quite a few pangolins that have developed intelligence.

The big grey dog ​​had always known that the forbidden area of ​​the Pill God Palace imprisoned a group of powerful demonic beasts, whose demonic energy was rich and pure, making it a good place to improve one's cultivation.

Some of these demonic beasts have been suppressed for thousands of years, and their demonic power is extremely strong.

On the Xuanhuang Continent, almost all the most powerful demonic beasts were suppressed here, which brought relative peace to the Xuanhuang Continent.

Any monster that escapes from here could trigger a catastrophe, causing widespread suffering and destruction.

The big gray dog ​​would come here every day to cultivate, absorb demonic energy, and only go home after it had eaten and drunk its fill.

Lan Hua asked curiously, "How did you know that a demon beast was suppressed here?"

The big grey dog ​​said with a touch of arrogance, "Your master and I are invincible throughout the heavens, what is there that I don't know!"

"The Celestial Realm? What kind of place is that?" Lan Hua asked curiously.

The big grey dog ​​shook its head. "It's not the time for you to know yet!"

Lan Hua remained silent.

Even more speechless are the monsters suppressed in the box.

"Hey kid, how did you manage to communicate with a dog so smoothly before?"

Lan Hua: "..."

"Kid, as long as you let me out, I'll do anything for you, even be your slave!"

"You old bull, you never tell the truth! Kid, don't fall for his tricks. He's a black water demon bull. Let me out, and I'll give you whatever you want!"

The big gray dog ​​roared and said, "Lanhua, ignore them! These demonic beasts must not be let out!"

Lan Hua nodded; he wouldn't do something so stupid as to be a sucker.

A voice came from a box: "Oh ho, you're a demon beast yourself, yet you show no mercy. What a disgrace to demon beasts!"

The big gray dog ​​muttered something about being noisy.

Lan Hua asked curiously, "Brother Hui, with so many powerful demonic beasts suppressed here, why isn't the entrance sealed?"

The big grey dog ​​shook its head, unsure, "Perhaps the seal has been in place for too long and has already lost its effectiveness!"

"Lanhua, the demonic energy here is thick and will harm your cultivation. This is not a place for you. You should leave immediately!"

"Brother Grey, what about you?"

The big grey dog ​​said, "I'll be going out in a bit!"

Lan Hua left the space dejectedly and reappeared outside the mirror.

He thought of the Buddhist concept of Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, and felt that there was no space better than this to suppress demonic beasts.

Remembering the purpose of her trip, Lan Hua quickly returned the way she came, searching for Jiang Xinghai's whereabouts.

However, the terrain inside the underground palace is complex, with ups and downs that can make people dizzy.

Suddenly, Lan Hua heard the sound of fighting, which seemed to be not far from him.

"What's going on? Why are there sounds of fighting? Could it be that Jiang Xinghai is fighting with a monster?"

He quickly followed the sound, and after wandering around for a long time, he finally saw the scene of the fight.

The creatures fighting Jiang Xinghai were not demonic beasts, but two middle-aged men.

One person controlled a flying sword and attacked Jiang Xinghai at lightning speed, while the other wielded a long saber, his sword energy crisscrossing.

Both of them possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of the Transformation Realm, and their seamless cooperation forced Jiang Xinghai to retreat repeatedly.

Jiang Xinghai was holding a black box in his hands. The box was not big, but it had a strong sense of age.

A flash of sword light suddenly streaked across the sky, knocking the black box away. The man with the knife followed up with a slash, forcing Jiang Xinghai back, and then caught the black box.

"not good!"

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise; he had already realized that the box was an item from a forbidden area.

He quickly drew his bow and used the move "Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea," sending two invisible arrows hurtling towards the two men.

The two were forced back several steps, looking astonished. After exchanging a glance, they each unleashed their ultimate moves, attacking Jiang Xinghai and Lan Hua.

Without looking back, he rushed out of the empty stone chamber and fled.
