After the scream, some broken limbs and flesh mixed with blood fell from the fog above.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, causing some of the geniuses who grew up in the greenhouse to feel nauseous.
"No, it's more dangerous to act alone. We must stick together and take care of each other!"
"That's right, everyone, get closer and find a way out of this fog!"
For a moment, everyone gathered together.
Some of the smarter geniuses discovered that none of the stronger geniuses seemed to have gotten into trouble.
So when they got closer, they all deliberately moved closer to them, especially the Holy Son of the Earth Blade Sect, as the crowd around him was the densest at this time.
The Holy Son of the Didao Sect was also on high alert, trying to catch the real culprit in the fog in order to establish his own prestige.
However, despite this, it still failed to stop people from continuing to disappear.
"Wait, look ahead, the guy lighting the torch seems to be still moving!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, causing everyone to look up.
In the fog, in the direction Ning Jie had just left, he saw a faint flame flickering stubbornly through the fog.
For a moment, everyone was almost dumbfounded.
"No, why is he safe and sound? Could it be that his strength has surpassed everyone present?"
Some people were puzzled and suspected that Ning Jie was hiding his strength.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was directly denied by the Saint of the Earth Sword Sect.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! What kind of strength could that pretty boy have? He must have found some way to avoid danger!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some geniuses with similar strength to the Didao Sect agreed.
"Yes, that must be the case. There must be some details that we haven't noticed!"
"Yeah, let's think about it together, what did that pretty boy do that we didn't do!"
Hearing these words from several geniuses, everyone started to recall.
As the fire in front of them gradually deepened and was about to disappear, someone suddenly shouted.
"I know. Fire. It was a torch! He lit the torch and went straight into the fog!"
"Yeah! I noticed that too. After he came in, he just stood there for a while, then lit a torch and left!"
"Ah... Is it really because of the torch? We were just mocking them..."
"How do you know if you don't try? Do you have any other ideas?"
For a moment, everyone seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and took out materials to make torches.
Fires began to light up in the crowd one after another, and soon everyone had a torch in their hands.
After lighting the torches, everyone did not dare to move forward directly, but stayed where they were vigilantly for a while.
"God bless you, I hope it works!"
"Hey, it seems to be really working. No one has gone missing in such a long time!"
"Yeah, hahahahaha...I can survive!"
"A little fog, and a little torch solved it. How simple!"
"Hahaha……"
After everyone confirmed that it was safe, they were overjoyed and continued to explore forward with full confidence.
Fortunately, the area of the fog was not very large, and after there was no danger, everyone quickly walked out and saw the scene behind the fog.
What comes into view is the ruins of a palace complex that has long been dilapidated but still makes people feel extremely magnificent!
Most of the surrounding side halls have been damaged and collapsed, some are only half left, and only some ruins remain on the periphery.
In the center of these ruins, there is a huge palace sitting at an angle, which seems to be the main hall of the palace complex.
The main hall is generally shaped like a double cone, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, a typical floating palace.
The floating inscriptions on the base and the damaged floating formation on the ground can still be vaguely identified.
"This palace ruin should be where the relics and treasures are, right?"
"Such a grand and majestic layout. Just looking at the ruins is already much more majestic than our mountain gate. It must have been a giant force in the past!"
"That's right. When this palace complex was intact, I'm afraid we wouldn't know how magnificent it was! I've never seen such a huge floating formation!"
Many people sighed as they looked at the ruins in front of them, but others didn't care.
"Why say so much? No matter how glorious it was, it's gone. Now we can explore it!"
"That's right, don't waste time, go ahead! It's time to show your abilities!"
After saying that, the first group of people rushed out first. Even a stupid bird knows to fly first, let alone these geniuses of the sect?
Seeing this, others hurried to follow, fearing that the inheritance or treasure that suited them would be taken away by others first.
However, no one noticed that the two figures who arrived here first naturally blended into the crowd.
It was Ning Jie and Liu Feifei.
After walking out of the fog first, Ning Jie did not act rashly, but first asked Saint Yaoguang if there was any danger here.
Saint Yaoguang told him that this was the main hall area of Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
Apart from the guardian beast, an ancient ferocious beast called Taotie, there is no other danger.
But I don’t know if the Taotie is still alive after such a long time. I suggest Ning Jie wait for others to explore the way first.
Although I can find a way to deal with it even if it's alive, it would be bad if it was beaten to death before I could react!
So we have this scene now, Ning Jie is behind the crowd, moving forward slowly.
As the crowd continued to pour into the palace complex, nothing happened, and some people even explored some of the side halls.
However, nothing was discovered. Seeing this, the remaining people abandoned the secondary hall and rushed towards the main hall.
Seeing this, Ning Jie was secretly calculating in his heart.
"Could it be that Taotie really has died in the endless years?"
According to Saint Yaoguang, Taotie, the guardian beast of the once powerful Piaomiao Xianzong, is at the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Now tens of thousands of years have passed. If he is still alive, then at worst he would be at the level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
So Ning Jie had to be cautious.
However, the crowd did not know this information, as someone had already rushed to the main hall.
"Hahahaha... I'm the first one! Everyone, I'll be the first to choose the inheritance and the relic!"
The man laughed loudly and was about to step into the main hall, but at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently!
"boom--!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a roar accompanied by rising smoke, and the ruins collapsed in an instant, with rubble flying everywhere!
Everyone dodged quickly, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
When the smoke cleared, a huge, scaly claw appeared before everyone.
The closest Tianjiao had no idea where he was hit by the claws.
Immediately afterwards, a huge ferocious beast with a human face and a sheep's body appeared in everyone's sight. It turned out to be the ancient ferocious beast - Taotie!
"Hurrah! Who disturbed my sweet dream?"
Taotie roared loudly, his voice was deafening, and the aura from his body swept out, frightening everyone.
The initial stage of transformation into a god!
