"Ah." The old man, with white spots on his hair, sighed slowly. "I don't count on this ancient jade anymore. I just hope I can escape unscathed and not let all the people I brought with me die here."
"Uncle Li, you're joking." Xi Chen said lightly, obviously unmoved by what the old man said.
"By the way, nephew Xi, do you have any way to break the barrier left by our ancestors here?" Seeing Xi Chen, the old man looked at Xi Chen excitedly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Boundary?" Xi Chen frowned slightly and looked behind the old man. He had just opened the first layer of barrier, so the second layer of barrier was...
"Nephew Xi, you must help your uncle. After all, your father and I are close friends. You can't ignore your uncle at this time." The old man grabbed Xi Chen's arm desperately, his face moved.
Seeing the old man start talking first, the people around him also echoed, "Yeah, it's too crowded."
"I wonder which bastard left behind this barrier that's so hard to break!"
"The head of the Xi family must have a way."
"I don't want to be crowded here with a bunch of people. Besides, the barrier here is too easy to break. If another spirit beast attacks us, we'll all be finished."
“…”
Listening to the noise around him, Xi Chen couldn't help but frown. Looking at the old man who was still desperately holding on to him, Xi Chen felt even more disgusted.
"This barrier was left by someone before. Brother Xichen is knowledgeable and experienced, so I'm sure he will be able to find a way." Dongcheng Yao, who was standing aside, saw Xichen, nodded slightly to him, and stepped forward.
"Even Brother Dongcheng, you can't crack it?" Xi Chen nodded to Dongcheng Yao as a greeting.
"My strong point is not in this area, so you should do it, Brother Xichen." Dongcheng Yao curled his lips slightly and glanced behind Xichen. He was wearing a familiar red shirt, and the red runes at the corners of his eyes were more conspicuous under the sunlight, outlining a stunning face with an unruly look.
"Oh." Xi Chen sighed slightly. Seeing that everyone insisted, he stopped refusing and walked towards the second barrier.
Compared to the first barrier of this ancient monument, the second barrier was significantly more powerful. Xi Chen slowly stopped before the second barrier and looked up. Outside the palace, a densely packed golden rune appeared faintly, emitting a faint golden light, protecting an unknown palace.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xi Chen slowly stretched out his hands and placed them on the barrier. As soon as the barrier sensed a stranger approaching, it immediately emitted a stronger golden light, and the golden runes seemed to come back to life, rapidly flowing in the air.
Resisting the backlash from the barrier, Xi Chen frowned and carefully watched the runes flowing rapidly in the air...
After a long silence, everyone's hearts were in a state of panic. Even Dongcheng Yao, who always seemed to have a carefree attitude towards everything, put away his cynical smile and watched Xi Chen's movements closely, hoping to find a way to break it. After all, the power of the first barrier was too weak. The previous wave of spirit beast attacks had almost caused it to collapse. The spirit beasts could attack at any time. The only way to save their lives was to break the second barrier, so all hopes were focused on Xi Chen.
After an unknown amount of time, Xi Chen slowly lowered his hands from the barrier...
