Before long, the figure of the Azure Phoenix appeared in the sky and swept past Duanmu Qing and the others in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, more than a dozen enormous figures appeared in the distance; they were barbarians.

Although the barbarians were huge, they were not slow.

A moment later, they stopped near the oasis, showing no intention of chasing the Azure Phoenix.

A dozen or so barbarians stood for a while, then suddenly knelt down without warning.

They kowtowed three times to the oasis, then turned and left.

Qin Feng was stunned.

Duanmu Qing and his group were completely dumbfounded.

The Azure Phoenix, who hadn't run far, was equally bewildered and didn't understand.

Qin Feng watched the dozen or so barbarian tribesmen disappear into the distance with a flicker in his eyes.

These barbarians were all quite powerful, yet they knelt before the oasis, which was unusual. He suspected that there must be something strange about the oasis.

Qin Feng wasn't the only one who thought this way; Qingluan, Duanmu Qing, and others shared the same suspicions.

After a while, Duanmu Qing and the others successively deactivated their stealth status.

Qingluan returned with a grim face, staring directly at Duanmu Qing and demanding, "How do you explain what just happened?"

Duanmu Qing frowned slightly. "How do you want me to explain?"

"If you doubt me, you can leave now!"

"Whether I can find the Dragon Scale Halberd or not is none of my business!"

Qingluan sneered. "Duanmu Qing, are you trying to force me to use the Soul Searching Technique on you?"

Duanmu Qing sneered. "Qingluan, I admit you're strong, but if it really came down to a fight, you might not be able to defeat me."

"Is that so?" Qingluan asked with a half-smile. "Have you forgotten my identity?"

Do I need to fight you one-on-one?

Duanmu Qing's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Qi Feng and the others, and his heart sank.

Qingluan is the Grand Elder of the Dark Soul Palace and can exercise the authority of the Palace Master at critical moments.

As long as Qingluan commands Qifeng and the others to attack her, Qifeng and the others will absolutely not disobey.

"Qingluan, you'd better not push me!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you down with me!"

Qingluan stared directly at Duanmu Qing, her killing intent palpable.

However, she dared not act rashly, as killing a peak Immortal Emperor was not an easy task.

If Duanmu Qing is pushed to the limit, she might self-destruct. Although she is very confident that she will be fine, what about Qi Feng and the others?

In the last battle at the Starry Sea, Ningxiang had already killed more than ten Immortal Emperors from the Dark Soul Palace.

If Qi Feng and the others get into trouble again, the Palace Master of Dark Soul Palace will definitely not let her off easily.

Duanmu Qing showed no fear and stared directly at Qingluan.

Seeing Qingluan and Duanmu Qing on the verge of exchanging blows, Qi Feng smiled wryly. "Qingluan, Qingmei, why are you doing this?"

"We're all on the same side, why are you being so suspicious?"

"Could the illusion array below be part of some conspiracy?"

"Those barbarians acted so strangely just now. Didn't you ever consider that there might be a great secret hidden within the illusion array?"

"Hey, if you won't listen, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"You can fight or kill as you please, but we will absolutely not interfere; we will not take sides!"

Qingluan frowned slightly and looked directly at Qi Feng, asking, "What do you mean?"

Qi Feng sighed softly. "What could I possibly mean?"

"I just don't want to see you all killing each other!"

"Qingluan, don't forget that Duanmu Qing joined the Dark Soul Palace earlier than you. I can guarantee that she would never do anything to harm the Dark Soul Palace!"

Qingluan stared at Qi Feng for a long time before shifting her gaze to the illusion array below.

"What you say makes some sense. Then you can break the illusion array!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Feng nodded and began to descend.

Qingluan was taken aback by what she saw. She hadn't expected Qi Feng to agree so readily.

Duanmu Qing frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with worry.

Qi Feng stopped when he was still more than ten meters away from the illusion array. The illusion array was not very strong, and he could break it easily.

However, he had to be cautious to prevent unforeseen crises from occurring after breaking the formation.

After a long while, Qi Feng finally made his move, unleashing a magical technique on the illusion array.

"boom"

With a deafening roar, the illusion array shattered instantly.

at the same time.

The ground suddenly shook violently, the wind and clouds surged, and the sky changed dramatically.

Qi Feng's expression changed drastically. He immediately flew back to Qing Luan and the others, looking down with surprise and uncertainty.

Qingluan and the others all wore solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on what was below.

At this moment, smoke filled the air below, and a violent energy was raging.

Even if divine sense cannot perceive the situation inside?

Qin Feng showed no reaction; he had already anticipated that there was something strange about the illusion array.

I just don't know what it will be.

Dragon Scale Halberd?

Or something else entirely unexpected?

The ground tremors below affected the surrounding area, and soon spread to a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

"Boom boom..."

A series of booming sounds rang out, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers collapsed one after another.

The raging energy hidden within the smoke grew increasingly violent.

Qin Feng and Qingluan stared intently, their breathing becoming rapid.

No matter how strong you are, you'll always feel a little apprehensive when faced with the unknown.

A few minutes passed.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the violent energy disappeared.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a dilapidated underground city came into view.

The underground city was filled with ruins and huge skeletons.

Some of these skeletons belonged to barbarians, while others belonged to ancient, savage beasts.

There are also some human skeletons that are hard to see.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone gasped in shock.

What exactly happened in this underground city?

These skeletons are scattered throughout the underground city, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers. It is impossible to know exactly how many humans, barbarians, and ancient beasts have died.

Qingluan took a deep breath and looked at Duanmu Qing, asking, "What exactly is that person's identity?"

After asking her, she realized something and added, "I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious about that person's identity."

Duanmu Qing frowned and replied, "I told you, I haven't been able to fully explore that person's memories!"

Qingluan frowned slightly. She still didn't quite trust Duanmu Qing, but she didn't want to raise any more questions and make the relationship even more strained.

She looked down at the underground city, her expression shifting between light and shadow for a moment, before saying, "Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to go down and take a look!"

"But we can't be separated, so that even if something unexpected happens, we can take care of each other!"

Duanmu Qing and the others all nodded.

Then, Qingluan took the lead and descended towards the underground city, with Duanmu Qing and the others following closely behind.

Qin Feng remained unmoved. Just moments before, the spirit of the Zhuxian Sword, Xiaoxian, had told him about some terrifying beings in the underground city.

His strength is almost identical to that of the Heavenly Emperor, and he may even be the Heavenly Emperor himself.

Xiao Xian has always been trustworthy, so he has no doubts whatsoever.

If he weren't curious about the terrifying existence the fairy had mentioned, he would have turned around and left right now.

As for Qingluan, if she manages to survive this time, it won't be too late to kill her later.
