"A formation?" You You exclaimed in surprise, "What formation?"
“I can’t tell for now,” Yuan Qi shook his head and said. “I can only sense that it’s a demonic array, but I can’t figure out its specific function. Besides, it has already stopped.”
"Stop?" Feng Rong couldn't help but ask, "Has the formation already been broken?"
“No!” Yuan Qi frowned. “The formation is not broken, it’s just… temporarily stopped, and I can’t figure out why.”
Youyou and Fengrong were both dumbfounded. Could you really pause a formation halfway through?
Yuan Qi pondered for a moment, then probed again but could no longer sense any fluctuations from the formation. The formation was extremely well hidden, and he had no idea how Gong Xi had triggered it. He withdrew his hand and looked at the two of them, saying, "It seems this place is quite dangerous; we should be careful."
The two nodded, their expressions becoming serious. You You turned to look at Gong Xi, who had almost finished recuperating, and suggested, "Lord Gong, why don't we go together?"
Gong Xi instinctively wanted to refuse, but after opening her mouth, she didn't say anything. She looked at her with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
The four continued towards the palace. Because Gong Xi was injured, You You had to lend her a hand. This infuriated Feng Rong, who stared intently at the two, as if afraid of any further accidents and ready to pull them apart at any moment. She kept snorting coldly, like a snorting beast.
Surprisingly, they encountered no further danger along the way; they didn't see any formations or even traps. The surroundings were pitch black, and they had no idea how large the hall was; they simply walked deeper and deeper, and after two quarters of an hour, they still hadn't reached the end.
"There seems to be something ahead?" Yuan Qi pointed ahead and warned.
The group paused for a moment, then quickened their pace and stepped forward. Sure enough, they saw a large gate ahead, similar to the one they had entered through, and equally imposing. The gate was carved with intricate patterns, some resembling flowers, others beasts, making it difficult to discern what they were. Dense demonic energy swirled around the gate, and in the very center was a gaping maw with rows of sharp teeth that looked terrifying, as if it might come to life at any moment.
The four volumes of Yin books in Youyou's mind suddenly stirred, a faint sense of excitement emanating from them, as if they couldn't wait.
This is... the final volume of the Yin Book is just behind?
She quickly sent a telepathic message to Yuan's father and Feng Rong, who were also delighted, but...
"How do we open this door?" There's no key or doorbell at all. Not only that, the door looks like a single, solid piece of wood. If the outside door hadn't looked the same, they would have definitely thought it was a wall.
Yuan Qi was also stumped. There was no sign of any formation or mechanism on the door, and he really didn't know how to open it.
“The demonic energy on this door is so dense, why don’t I try to use my demonic energy to activate it?” Gong Xi suggested. “This is still the Demon Palace of the Demon Clan, so naturally the Demon Clan should be the one to open the door.”
After thinking about it carefully, the group realized that she was indeed the only demon present, and only she could do it.
Gong Xi took a few steps forward and carefully channeled her demonic energy towards the door, about to probe it closely. Suddenly, the demonic energy surged across the entire door, as if something had been triggered. The soaring demonic energy erupted, and the original carved image instantly came to life, transforming into countless sharp demonic blades that swept wildly towards Gong Xi.
Gong Xi felt a sudden weight on her body, an irresistible pressure assailed her, as if it could crush her demonic energy in an instant, rendering her unable to move, and she was about to be struck by the demonic blade.
"Lord Gong!" You You exclaimed in surprise, instinctively stepping forward and pulling the person back.
"Youyou, Xiaoyou!" Feng Rong and Yuan Qi's expressions changed instantly, and they formed spells in an instant, about to raise their defenses to block the demonic blades. But just before the demonic blades were about to hit them, they suddenly hissed and dissipated like smoke, as if they were just frightening illusions.
Huh?
Not only Youyou, but all four people present were stunned.
What's going on?
"Was that...an illusion?" Youyou asked instinctively.
“It shouldn’t be!” Yuan Qi shook his head.
“That wind blade was indeed formed from demonic energy.” Feng Rong looked at the two people in front of them, where the scattered demonic energy still lingered in the air. “Perhaps the attack formed from that demonic energy couldn’t be too far from the door.”
You You thought about it and realized it made sense. She immediately took another step back and turned to look at the person next to her, "Lord Gong, are you alright?"
"N-nothing...it's alright!" Gong Xi was pale and panting heavily, her face still showing lingering fear. What was that oppressive aura just now? She had never felt such terrifying pressure before, not even from Long Ting, who was known as the Demon King. She hurriedly warned, "Ayou, this door is too dangerous. It's impossible to open it..."
Rumble...
Before she could finish speaking, a moving sound came from ahead, and the door, which had been as intact as a wall, suddenly split open from the middle and slowly opened to both sides.
The door... opened!
The four people: "..."
That works too! So, was that demonic blade attack just meant to scare people?
"It really opened!" Youyou turned back to Gongxi in surprise, "It seems that your demonic energy just now was effective."
"..." Gong Xi was stunned. Why did she feel that the door was not opened because of her demonic energy?
The door was fully open. Although the surroundings were filled with black demonic energy, one could still vaguely see that there was another large hall inside. Unlike the empty outside, something stood inside. The four of them then went inside.
