Before entering, Pei Ji used his spiritual sense to explore the situation inside and found that there was no danger, at least no obvious danger, so he walked in, followed by Xue Huan.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a square courtyard paved with white jade carved bricks. On the east side stands a tree with a dazzling glow. Xue Huan took a closer look and found that it was actually carved from jadeite, and the leaves and flowers on it were also carved from jade, pearls, gems and other materials.
Rich! Really rich!
Xue Huan couldn't help but take a closer look. Pei Ji said, "When I get back, I'll have someone carve one, not two, jade trees and put them in front of the window."
"Well, this is such a waste, let's forget it." Xue Huan said, but in fact she still liked it very much in her heart.
Although it's a bit flashy, it's beautiful.
Pei Ji saw that she was not saying what she meant, so he smiled and kept the matter in mind.
After entering the main hall, Xue Huan was also surprised by its luxuriousness and magnificence. She couldn't help but regret that she hadn't taken a good look at the underground palace when she came here before. Otherwise, she would have picked out a few things she liked to take away.
It would be too immoral to take them all away. She has a bottom line.
The entire underground palace was much safer than Xue Huan had imagined. Under Zong Ying's leadership, the three of them encountered little danger along the way. The various traps she had imagined, such as poison arrows, quicksand, lamp oil, etc., did not exist.
It went incredibly smoothly.
But success is also a good thing, it is better than serious danger, right?
It just feels like something is wrong.
Finally, the three of them came to the hall she had been to before. Just like before, there was nothing here except a coffin. It was completely clear.
Xue Huan saw that after arriving here, the needle on the compass in Zong Ying's hand spun rapidly for a while, and finally stopped suddenly as if it was broken, pointing to a certain place.
That place is exactly where the coffin is.
Zong Ying: "Great, I found it! It's right here, the spirit cave is hidden under this coffin!"
Xue Huan felt that the spiritual energy here was indeed richer than when she came here before. Could it be that because the five stars appeared at the same time, the spiritual cave was opened and the spiritual energy inside overflowed?
Zong Ying had already walked to the side of the coffin and was about to push it. Xue Huan hurriedly warned him, "Master Zong, be careful, there's a trap."
Zong Ying retracted his hand. "Yes, maybe the smooth progress before was just to paralyze us so that we will suffer in the final step."
However, the three of them carefully checked the coffin and did not find any mechanisms or traps.
It's surprisingly clean here.
Zong Ying: "You two step aside, I'll open it and take a look."
Pei Ji did not retreat, "Elder Zong, I am here to help too. Huanhuan, please stay away."
He took her hand and squeezed it, then winked at her.
Xue Huan calmly stepped aside and told the two of them, "Be careful."
Zong Ying and Pei Ji stood at each end of the coffin, pushing the lid aside to prevent anything from suddenly popping out of the coffin. The two moved very slowly.
The coffin lid was pushed open little by little, revealing the situation inside the coffin.
Both of them looked shocked.
Xue Huan couldn't help but be curious about what was inside. She walked over and took a look inside, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
There was nothing in the coffin, the bottom was empty. To be precise, it was like a space vortex. It was black at first glance, but it seemed colorful.
A question slowly emerged in Xue Huan's mind: Colorful black?
The vortex appears to be still, but it is actually moving at high speed, so fast that it gives the illusion of stillness.
An extremely rich and pure spiritual energy lingered around the vortex, but before it could overflow, it was often sucked in by the vortex again.
Even Xue Huan, who was standing outside the coffin, could feel the strong sweeping force from the vortex.
"This is the spirit cave, right? It seems that your guess is correct, Elder Zong."
Zong Ying looked at the two of them, a strange color appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly launched an attack, slapping the coffin lid towards Pei Ji. While he was dodging sideways, he grabbed Xue Huan and threw her into the spirit cave!
"Huanhuan!" Pei Ji wanted to catch her, but the suction of the whirlpool was too strong and he had no time to catch her, so he simply jumped in as well.
"Hahahaha... After three thousand years, I finally completed the task assigned to me by the Sect Master."
Zong Ying looked like a madman and laughed loudly towards the sky for a while.
Suddenly, a voice came from above: "What mission? Who is the sect leader?"
The expression on Zong Ying's face suddenly froze, because the voice was Pei Ji's. He looked up suddenly, but saw the ceiling of the hall, and did not see Pei Ji at all.
How could that be? Didn't he just jump into the whirlpool with Xue Huan? Where did that voice come from?
He extended his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings, but did not find a single figure.
Of course he couldn't find it, because Pei Ji and Xue Huan were not in the same space with him at all.
In the real hall, Pei Ji held a mirror in his hand and looked at Zong Ying in the mirror with cold eyes.
This mirror is the Xumi Mirror.
As early as the moment he stepped into the hall, Pei Ji took out the Xumi Mirror without anyone noticing and used the skill of Floating Life Like a Dream on Zong Ying.
What happened next was half the result of Pei Ji's plan, and half was the result of Zong Ying's original intention!
In the mirror, Zong Ying was standing in the hall, looking around with an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
Pei Ji originally just noticed that something was wrong with Zong Ying - he was too familiar with this underground palace, so familiar with it as if he had returned home, and the route he walked was not at all like what he pretended to have divined.
For safety reasons, Pei Ji decided to test him with the Xumi Mirror. If he didn't find anything, it would naturally be a good thing, and he would also sincerely apologize to Zong Ying.
As it turned out, fortunately he did not let go of that trace of doubt, otherwise things might really be as shown in the mirror, Huanhuan was thrown into the whirlpool by him, and he jumped in with her!
What Zong Ying said after he succeeded was very intriguing.
——After three thousand years, I finally completed the task assigned by the sect leader.
Three thousand years, suzerain, mission.
Each one is a keyword.
In the mirror, Zong Ying attacked everywhere with fierce means, causing the entire underground palace to shake. Fortunately, the Xumi Mirror was a divine artifact, and it was an artifact that recognized its master. Unless Zong Ying was strong enough to tear the artifact apart with his bare hands, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
Whether he can come out depends entirely on Pei Ji's willingness.
"Huanhuan, I'm going in to trick him. You stay here and wait for me to come out." Pei Ji handed the Xumi Mirror to her.
Xue Huan nodded: "I'll go into the space and wait for you."
"Okay."
Pei Ji's body turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the mirror, while Xue Huan entered the space with the Xumi Mirror.
In the mirror, Zong Ying tried to leave the hall, but outside the hall was a void of darkness, which was not the corridor they came from.
He looked at the darkness in front of him that seemed to devour him, his eyes changing. Obviously, this was not the underground palace where he had been before. He didn't know when he had been plotted against by Pei Ji and Xue Huan!
