Chapter 227 Altar
The restriction dissipated, and a small groove was revealed on the mountain wall. The outline of a key could be vaguely seen in the groove.
“Is this the Yang Key?”
Huo Qinghuang reached out and touched the groove, and felt a warm breath coming from the key.
The voice of the stone spirit sounded again: "Yes, this is the Yang Key. However, if you want to take it out, you must activate it with pure Yang power."
Huo Qinghuang frowned.
She is a female cultivator, where does the pure yang power come from?
The Phoenix Divine Fire does contain extremely strong and masculine power, but once the fire is set, even the key will disappear completely, leaving nothing behind.
Besides, the side effects of using the Phoenix Divine Fire are too serious, and she doesn't want to stimulate the divine blood at this time.
"Is there any way you can get this key out?"
Huo Qinghuang turned to look at Shi Ling and asked calmly.
Shi Ling turned in the air and said with a hint of pride: "Of course I have a way! But you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"What conditions?"
Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow and asked.
It was quite strange that a mere stone spirit had the courage to negotiate with her.
Well, she wanted to see what requests the other party would make.
There was a hint of cunning in Shi Ling's voice: "You have to take me away from here! I have been here for thousands of years and I am tired of it! As long as you take me away, I will help you get the key."
Huo Qinghuang: "..."
I thought the other party would make some unreasonable demands, but unexpectedly, they just wanted to take it away from here?
This requirement is not simple!
She nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling laughed happily: "Haha, that's great! I can finally leave this damn place!"
After saying that, the stone spirit flew to the mountain wall, emitting a faint light.
Then, the groove on the mountain wall suddenly lit up, and Yang Shi slowly rose from the groove and hovered in the air.
Huo Qinghuang reached out and grabbed the Yang key, feeling a warm breath coming from the key.
She turned to look at Shi Ling: "Where's the Yin Key?"
The stone spirit flew to the mountain wall on the right side of the stone gate without saying a word and emitted a ray of light again.
Huo Qinghuang's outstretched arm paused in mid-air. Well, she was just asking. This guy took out the Yin Key in one breath, so she didn't need to do anything at all.
It can be seen how anxious the other party is to leave this place.
Soon, the Yin Key also rose from the mountain wall and hovered in the air.
Huo Qinghuang grabbed the Yin Key and felt a cold breath coming from the key.
She walked to the stone door and was about to insert the two keys into the keyhole when she was stopped by Shi Ling.
"etc!"
Shi Ling flew over and instructed in a conscientious manner: "The Yang key should be inserted into the right keyhole, and the Yin key should be inserted into the left keyhole. Otherwise, the Yin and Yang will be confused and the stone door will be completely locked. Don't even think about opening it again."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes and followed instructions by inserting the yang key into the right keyhole and the yin key into the left keyhole.
“Crack!”
With a slight sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.
Huo Qinghuang took a deep breath and stepped into the passage.
Shi Ling followed behind her and laughed happily: "Hehehe, we can finally leave here!"
The passage was pitch black, and the blood-killing dagger in Huo Qinghuang's hand emitted a faint red light, illuminating the road ahead.
She walked forward cautiously, secretly alert in her heart.
After walking for about ten minutes, a huge stone chamber appeared at the end of the passage.
In the center of the stone chamber stands an ancient altar, which is engraved with complex runes. There is a faint light flowing on the runes, as if telling some ancient secret.
And in the center of the altar, there was a rusty iron axe.
Huo Qinghuang's attention was instantly attracted by the iron axe.
She could feel that there was a powerful force contained in the iron axe, which seemed to resonate with the demonic power in her body.
Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and she wondered in her heart: Could this be the legendary treasure?
She walked slowly towards the altar, still holding the bloody dagger tightly in her hand, and looked around vigilantly.
Although she did not sense any dangerous aura, countless experiences told her that the more peaceful a place seemed, the more likely it was to hide a deadly crisis.
Just as she was about to step onto the altar, the air in the stone chamber suddenly became heavy.
Huo Qinghuang stopped suddenly and looked around sharply.
Suddenly, four faint green lights appeared in the four corners of the stone chamber, and then four figures slowly emerged from the lights.
They were four armored ghost soldiers, each holding a spear, with cold and ruthless eyes.
A strong evil aura emanated from their bodies. It was obvious that they were not ordinary ghosts, but specially refined ghost soldier puppets.
Huo Qinghuang sneered, and raised the bloody dagger in his hand slightly: "It seems that this rare treasure is not so easy to get."
Before she finished her words, the four ghost soldiers attacked her at the same time.
The spear, with a sharp and cold wind, pierced her vitals.
Huo Qinghuang flashed and easily avoided the first wave of attacks. Then he swung his hand back, and the blood-red dagger drew a blood-red arc, directly cutting off the head of a ghost soldier.
"Wow, girl, you are so awesome, cut it! Cut it!"
Shi Ling was shouting loudly behind him, and he almost grew two arms to clap.
However, the ghost soldier's head just fell to the ground, but his body did not fall down. Instead, he continued to wave his spear at her.
Huo Qinghuang frowned and thought to himself, "Sure enough, they are not ordinary ghost soldiers. They can even fight without a head."
This reminded her of a great wizard in the ancient world, who was also able to fight without a head, and his weapon was also an axe.
Could this be the axe?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Huo Qinghuang's murderous intent instantly surged.
She no longer hesitated, and the spiritual energy in her body burst out with all her strength. The blood light on the Blood Evil Dagger became more intense, and when she swung it, it was like a river of blood rushing past.
Her figure shuttled through the stone chamber like a ghost. Every move she made was extremely precise, directly chopping the bodies of the ghost soldiers into several pieces.
However, even if the bodies of those ghost soldiers were cut into pieces, they could still be reassembled, as if they were immortal.
Huo Qinghuang gradually felt a little impatient.
These ghost soldiers are too difficult to deal with. If we delay for too long, something unexpected might happen.
Putting aside other things, what if Wu Chenzi and others come looking for her? In front of them, would she take this rare treasure or not?
If she took it, she would definitely offend Sanqing Palace, and the previous agreement would no longer be valid. If those three knew about it, they would definitely mock her for bullying the weak.
Where is her face?
But if she doesn't take it, then wouldn't all her efforts be in vain for others?
But she has always been the only one who steals other people's things, and no one can take food from her mouth.
In short, no matter what, there will be conflicts with Sanqing Palace in the end.
No, we must resolve this quickly!
She thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly fell on the iron axe on the altar.
