Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"It's okay if you don't take a break~"

Ye Fan looked at Miao Qingcheng with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, Old Miao?"

"Ye Fan, a few days ago I found a place that is very likely to hide a great secret treasure. That place is not an ancient secret realm used for cover... and I found some traces left by Grandmaster Mei in that place!"

"It's just that the mechanisms there are all mysterious patterns and magic arrays... Although my strength is much higher than Wen Zheng's, I can't compare to Wen Zheng in terms of understanding of mysterious patterns!"

"Although I can try to break it open by force, that might damage the treasure inside. Also, if the noise is too loud, it might attract some old creatures, which would be troublesome!"

"So, if possible, we should rush to that place overnight and explore for treasures!"

Miao Qingcheng quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, there is actually another very important reason why I am so anxious!"

After a pause, Miao Qingcheng spoke again, his expression serious, "Ye Fan, this ancient secret realm may be about to collapse... No, to be more precise, it is collapsing!"

"The ancient secret realm is collapsing?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan's voice became louder, and he was very surprised.

"Yes!"

Miao Qingcheng nodded, "A few days ago, I noticed that many mountains and rivers had inexplicable landslides, collapses, diversions, leaks, etc.... Of course, such changes in the ancient secret realm are not uncommon, and it does not necessarily mean that the ancient secret realm is about to collapse, but today I found a crack in the sky... This is definitely a sign that the ancient secret realm is collapsing!"

"Miao Lao, how could this ancient secret realm suddenly collapse?"

Liu Mengying took over the conversation, with obvious confusion and worry on her face.

"have no idea………."

Miao Qingcheng shook her head. "There is a saying that the ancient secret realm was established by an ancient mystical cultivator. After the treasure left by the cultivator in the ancient secret realm was taken away, the ancient secret realm began to collapse... But no one can confirm this statement..."

"But one thing is certain, that is, we must leave before the ancient secret realm completely collapses, otherwise we will disappear on the spot along with the ancient secret realm..."

"As far as I know, those who disappeared with the ancient secret realm, no matter how strong or weak they are, have never reappeared in the public eye!"

Miao Qingcheng let out a long sigh and spoke.

"I see~ Xiaodouya, let's go explore with Lao Miao~"

"Good~"

…………

Midnight,

Under the guidance of Miao Qingcheng, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying came to a group of mountains shrouded in fog.

"This... Misty Rain Embroidery?"

Feeling the fluctuations coming from the rolling, misty mountains not far ahead, Ye Fan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Exactly!"

Miao Qingcheng nodded, "I was just looking for treasures at first, and I found this place by accident... My first reaction was also the Mist and Rain Embroidery... The Mist and Rain Embroidery in the entrance examination of Mingyuan College set by Master Mei is probably related to the mountains ahead!"

Ye Fan closed his eyes, sensed carefully, and pointed to a direction, "Lao Miao, judging from the fluctuations emitted by the mountains, we need to go in that direction!"

"Good~"

..........

Half an hour later,

Ye Fan and his companions passed through a bunch of traps and confusing mysterious magic arrays, and finally arrived at a lake.

"It should be right here!"

Ye Fan exhaled lightly and closed his eyes. He slowly condensed a white aura in his right hand, feeling the fluctuations coming from the mountain in front of him. Gradually, the aura in his hand began to change into various shapes and spread out according to the fluctuations coming from the mountain.

After a while, a huge mysterious pattern appeared in front of Ye Fan, and the surrounding trees, rocks, and lakes also exuded mysterious energy and gathered towards the mysterious pattern.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth... five kinds of mysterious energy~"

Seeing this, Liu Mengying was quite surprised.

"Buzz!"

After the five attributes of mysterious energy gathered into the mysterious pattern condensed by Ye Fan's mysterious energy, it shook violently, and the mysterious pattern twisted, driving the other five attributes of mysterious energy to circulate, and in a few breaths it formed the shape of an arch.

"Brother, it's a teleportation array! Five colors, so beautiful~"

Liu Mengying blinked in surprise.

"This formation is quite demanding. It actually requires the gathering of five kinds of profound energy at the same time!"

Miao Qingcheng said in a deep voice: "Ye Fan, Meng Ying, let's go in and take a look!"

"Ok!"

..........

Ye Fan and the other two quickly jumped into the teleportation formation composed of five kinds of mysterious energy.

"Buzz!"

There was a flash of light in front of the three people's eyes, and then they came to a pitch-black space.

"Big brother?"

Liu Mengying said this, and the Xuanqi Stone in her hand was activated.

"Ahem~ No one has been here for a long time, there's so much dust~"

Ye Fan waved his hand gently, activated a black stone lamp in his hand, and began to look around.

Miao Qingcheng, who was also holding a black stone lamp, soon made a discovery. He strode in one direction, then operated on a stone platform for a while. Then, the dark space around him was lit up by the black stone lamp.

"What a big space... Big brother, there are stone tables, stone chairs, and futons... This seems to be a cave... There are signs that someone has lived here..."

After taking a look, Liu Mengying spoke.

"Let's go ahead and take a look~"

.........

Soon, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and Miao Qingcheng arrived at a stone platform.

"Is this skeleton the owner of this cave?"

Liu Mengying muttered to herself as she looked at a white skeleton sitting cross-legged not far away.

"I don't know how many years he has been dead...but his skeleton is still sitting cross-legged...it's quite strange..."

Ye Fan was also surprised when he saw the skeleton covered with spider webs, spiders and ants crawling on it.

Miao Qingcheng squatted down, moved closer to the skeleton, observed it for a while, and frowned slightly.

"Senior Miao, have you found anything?"

Liu Mengying also squatted down and asked.

"Can't tell!"

Miao Qingcheng shook her head slightly. "It seems that the owner of this skeleton died while practicing. The attack on the chest was probably fatal. The ribs were twisted and broken... Judging from the fluctuations of the profound energy emitted by the skeleton, the other party was a master of profound cultivation... But for some reason, this skeleton gives me an unnatural feeling!"

"That's it~"

Liu Mengying brought the black stone lamp forward and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, the huge blood-red spider on the skeleton was disturbed and rushed straight towards Liu Mengying's face.

"ah!"

Liu Mengying screamed, and fire-attributed mysterious energy appeared on her hands, burning the huge blood-red spider.

At this moment, Ye Fan and Miao Qingcheng's expressions changed drastically, because they both felt an extremely powerful pressure emanating from them, and the source of the pressure was the skeleton that was very close to Liu Mengying.
