Before Jin Yining could even cry out, Luo De had already pushed the skeleton on the main seat aside. This triggered some mechanism, and suddenly an octagonal circle opened up in the center above. A ball of silver mercury fell from above, landing right in the center of the bottom octagonal array.

The Bagua formation was activated instantly, the silver mercury was ignited, and within moments the clothes of several people were on fire.

A chorus of screams filled the cave, and the stone door swayed violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Jin Yining turned to look at He Zhiyan, who was standing at the door, and said, "Get out."

But the flames had blocked his path.

He Zhiyan was shocked. After all, he was just an academic, and his legs were still trembling.

He was completely terrified.

Just as the stone door was about to fall, He Zhiyan was suddenly pulled by someone outside the door and dragged out instantly. When the stone door fell, it smashed the stone that Shang Ning had placed under it to pieces.

Shang Ning: "..."

Shang Ning immediately swore and pounded on the door, calling out, "Jin Yining, Jin Yining..."

"Don't move." Jin Yining stood still, and the flames didn't reach him, but if it went on for too long, it was hard to say.

Bai Yi helped Shang Congfeng to his feet, keeping them away from the surrounding flames.

Several people who were burned panicked and rolled around on the ground, but ended up burning to death.

Hearing the cries from inside, Shang Ning's heart stopped for a moment. She turned to look at He Zhiyan, whose face was pale, and said, "Go find Qin Wei, go find Qin Wei quickly."

He Zhiyan's mind went blank, but at least he still knew how to get things done.

Shang Ning looked Jin Yining up and down, "Jin Yining, Jin Yining, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, you should leave here quickly." Jin Yining turned to look at the doorway. "Wait for me to go back."

"Listen to your nonsense, you've said this so many times already," Shang Ning said angrily, trying to find the switch to open the door.

"Ningning, Ningning is still alive!" Bai Yi looked excitedly at the doorway; it was her daughter's voice.

The temperature inside rose, and because of the dead bodies, the smell of burning corpses was extremely unpleasant.

"Jin Yining, what should we do? Please think of something!" Shang Ning searched everywhere outside, but she couldn't find the mechanism.

"The corpses will only hasten the fire's spread. If you don't want to be burned to death right now, you'd better not come up with any crazy ideas." Jin Yining spoke up just as Rhodes was about to use the corpses as a bridge to reach the door.

Currently, the people closest to the door are Shang Congfeng and his wife, followed by Jin Yining, with Luo De in the very middle, unable to move an inch, while Ning Sang is not far from Jin Yining.

The Bagua diagram above the spot where the skeletons had just been sitting was shut down after Rhodes made someone sit down there.

"Shang Xiaoning, let's get married tomorrow, the kind where we register our marriage and have a certificate."

"Screw the certificate! You need to figure out how to get out first." Shang Ning touched the stone wall, which was still hot, and he had no idea what was going on inside.

"Young lady, don't swear. Promise me first, or I'll die with my eyes open." The flames beside Jin Yining's legs had already reached knee-high; if it continued, things really wouldn't be so easy. "Have you studied gossip?"

"No!" Who's trying to confuse him with this?

"Look, look, what's the rush?" Jin Yining looked at the patterns on the ground and walked slowly along them.
