Perhaps it was because this was the last hiding place of the master of the ruins, or perhaps he was too confident that no one could break into this place, the journey from the blood pool along the passage was extremely quiet.
There were no strange mutated species, nor any traps or formations.
Lu Li and Shushu made their way smoothly to the deepest secret room.
Standing in the empty stone chamber, there was nothing but an open coffin and a prayer mat.
Even the little potato frowned at the scene, feeling that this couldn't be the deepest part.
So, without Lu Li saying a word, Shushu had already spread his divine sense and began to examine the stone chamber inch by inch.
Finally, after surveying the stone chamber, the millet's divine sense locked onto the coffin beneath which was nothing more than a skeleton.
Commanding Rat Yibao and Tianluo to try to move the coffin, they couldn't budge it no matter what they did. They couldn't even put the coffin away; it was as if it were firmly stuck to the ground.
The two rats circled the coffin several times, trying for a long time, but couldn't move it an inch. So, Shushu could only look to Lu Li for help.
"Senior brother, please help me move the coffin a little."
It can only be said that Lu Li has completely instilled in him the habit of seeking help from his senior brother when he needs something. I wonder what the rat parents will think when they find their own little one and see this scene in the future.
Looking at his junior sister and her friends who had been working hard for a long time without seeing any results, Lu Li had a smile on his face.
But to avoid discouraging Shushu's confidence, Lu Li quickly controlled his emotions and expression just before Shushu looked over, and happily moved over to help.
The first thing he did upon arriving was to pick up the sweet potato from the ground, use a cleaning spell to clean it up after it had accidentally gotten a little dusty, and then casually put it in his pocket.
Then, while gesturing for Rat Yibao and Tianluo to step back, he quickly formed hand seals.
In a short while, a breaking seal appeared under his hand. He slammed it onto the coffin, and the coffin instantly retreated a distance, stopping only when it hit the corner of the wall.
Beneath the coffin, a square hole was revealed, surrounded by rows of carved grids filled with countless jade bottles.
At the very center of the cave is the control room of this ancient palace, where one can see what is happening in every corner of the palace.
Yes, this ruined mansion is actually a semi-divine artifact mansion that has been crafted and can be carried around.
However, unlike a normal residence, this ruined mansion has clearly been corrupted and is no longer suitable for normal cultivators.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li almost without hesitation forcibly tore off the mark left by the owner of the mansion, temporarily taking control of the mansion.
Then, controlling the monsters within the ruins, they began to drive out the cultivators who had mistakenly wandered in.
Of course, he didn't forget to check all the jade bottles in the cave. He had the little fire spirit burn all the unusable ones, and took all the usable ones with him.
During this time, he also found several bottles of dragon blood among a pile of jade bottles. He silently placed these jade bottles separately, and the senior and junior brothers and sisters were speechless for a moment.
After a long silence, Shushu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lu Li with hopeful eyes: "Senior Brother, Lingjun will turn back into the Golden Dragon Cub, right?"
"Don't worry, we definitely will. We will all help him."
In response, Lu Li affectionately patted the sweet potato and gave her a very affirmative answer: they would all help him, wouldn't they?
After all, who would be willing to let such a golden dragon cub, who, despite suffering so much pain in the past, still maintains a love for life, be trapped for the rest of its life?
Perhaps it was the certainty in Lu Li's words, or perhaps it was because they saw hope.
Although the conversation between the senior and junior disciples was brief, it effectively eased the heavy atmosphere and made it less lifeless.
Meanwhile, those creatures that had mistakenly entered the ruins were also being wary of and driven out.
Apart from the mutated monsters and the souls that had lost their minds, they were the only ones left in the entire ruins.
Through the control center, watching the souls possessing various monsters, desperately trying to escape the ruins but blocked by barriers, Lu Li was momentarily speechless.
After thinking it over, he summoned all the monsters back to the locust grove.
After making sure that everyone had returned safely, he appeared outside the locust grove with millet and potatoes, took out his jade flute, and played a hymn to cleanse the soul.
As the Cleansing Song spread, many souls began to awaken and detach themselves from their host bodies.
One by one, the souls floated in mid-air, transforming into their original forms. There were all sorts of spirit beasts and human cultivators. They looked at each other, and finally all looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li did not respond to them immediately. It was only after all the souls who still retained a shred of reason appeared that he took out a soul banner and spoke to the many souls in front of him.
"I have captured the owner of this ruined mansion, and I am also preparing to destroy it. Considering that you are the victims, I will give you a chance. If you wish to go to the Ghost Realm or pass away, then enter the Soul Banner yourself."
After saying that, he stood aside with the millet and potatoes in his arms, letting the souls in front of him choose freely. He had given them the opportunity; whether they went in or not was up to them. The choice was in their own hands.
After all, he wasn't the one who caused these misdeeds, so they won't affect him in any way.
If it weren't for the fact that they were victims, he wouldn't have wasted his spiritual energy and time on the purification melody and the soul banner, and he would still have to go to the Heavenly Silkworm Temple for help afterwards.
He had done all he could for them; the rest was up to them.
With this in mind, Lu Li was even less inclined to interfere with whether or not these souls would enter the Soul Banner.
Fortunately, these souls, whether they had been trapped for too long, or they thought Lu Li was good, or they had no other way out, all obediently lined up and entered the soul banner in the end.
Once all the souls had entered, Lu Li glanced at the remaining half of the souls, who had completely lost their minds, and without saying anything more, quickly returned to the control room with Shushu.
When he came out again, the control room had been completely destroyed, and there was an extra array panel.
Afterwards, Lu Li led Shushu around the ruins again, and finally arrived at the exit. He first had Ling Mufeng outside lead everyone away, and then set up the last array at the exit.
Then, at the last moment before the formation was activated, he quickly left the ruins with Shushu and the other little ones.
Just as they left the ruins, a deafening roar erupted from behind them.
