As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

General Lin stared at the runes on the stone door, his fingers slowly moving along the cold lines, his brows furrowed.

"This symbol... I've seen it in an ancient book. It seems to be an ancient seal, but I can't remember what it is specifically." He scratched his hair irritably. Every moment, he worried that the mysterious businessman was brewing a bigger conspiracy behind the stone gate.

Ding Chen paced back and forth anxiously. Xiaoxuan's safety was always his biggest concern.

Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he clenched his fists, and wished he could rush in immediately.

"General Lin, is there any other way to open this stone door?"

"Break it open with force!" General Lin punched the stone wall hard, causing gravel to fly everywhere.

"No matter what seal it is, I don't believe this broken door can stop me!"

"No!" Ying Feng grabbed General Lin and said, "The runes on this stone door are complex and strange. If we destroy it rashly, it will likely trigger other mechanisms. The consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Just sit and wait?" General Lin's eyes widened with anger, and the tension between the two men grew stronger and stronger.

Ah Hu stood aside, looking at this and that, scratching his head anxiously, not knowing who to support.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

At this moment, General Lin pushed Yingfeng away, drew the sword from his waist, and raised it high, "I just don't believe it..."

"Wait!" An old and majestic voice came from the depths of the cave...

An old voice echoed in the cave. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired wise man, leaning on a cane, walking out of the darkness with steady steps.

He had white hair and a youthful face, his eyes were bright and sharp, and a powerful aura enveloped him, as if the air in the cave had solidified because of his arrival.

The white-haired wise man walked to the stone gate, gently stroked the runes on it, and muttered something.

Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to disturb them.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "So that's how it is. This is an ancient sealing technique called the 'Black Tortoise Lock'." He stretched out his skinny fingers and lightly tapped a few key points on the stone door. With a "click", the heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the deep passage inside.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see that the white-haired wise man had unlocked the seal so easily. General Lin even slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "The old man is truly an expert!" The black-robed old man hiding in the dark saw the white-haired wise man appear, his face suddenly changed, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Behind the stone gate is a huge magic circle, emitting a strange light.

The mysterious businessman, the old man in black robe, stood in the center of the formation, surrounded by powerful magical fluctuations.

He saw everyone coming in and let out a sinister laugh, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man in black robe launched another attack.

He raised his hands high and chanted an obscure spell. The ground began to shake violently. A huge rock puppet drilled out from the ground, waving its huge stone fist and smashing towards everyone.

Seeing this, the white-haired wise man snorted coldly, "A mere trifle!"

"Xiaoxuan!" Ding Chen yelled, and suddenly pushed her behind him...

Ding Chen held Xiaoxuan tightly in his arms and used his body to block possible attacks for her.

Xiaoxuan could hear Ding Chen's strong heartbeat, which made her feel extremely at ease. She held Ding Chen's clothes tightly and prayed silently in her heart.

General Lin roared and rushed towards the rock puppet like a tiger, wielding the sword in his hand with great force, and each blow had the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

Although the rock puppet was huge in size, it seemed a bit clumsy under General Lin's violent attack.

Shadow Wind was like a nimble cheetah, roaming around the rock puppet, looking for its weaknesses.

His figure was erratic, and each appearance was just right. The dagger in his hand was like the fangs of a poisonous snake, hitting the vital points directly.

Although Ah Hu did not have their martial arts skills, he was not afraid. He picked up stones on the ground and smashed them hard at the rock puppet. Although the damage was not great, it interfered with its movements.

The white-haired wise man and the black-robed old man engaged in a thrilling magic duel.

The white-haired wise man held an ancient wooden staff in his hand and muttered something. Dazzling white light shot out from the tip of the staff and pierced the black-robed old man like a sharp sword.

The old man in black robe was not to be outdone. He waved the staff in his hand, and black mist rolled around him, forming a solid barrier to resist the white light attack.

The spells of both sides collided, producing a dazzling light, and the surrounding air became hot.

General Lin's battle with the rock puppet entered a fierce stage, and he found that the puppet's joints seemed to be its weak points.

He shouted loudly and used all his strength to chop the puppet's knee joint.

The rock puppet made a loud noise, and its huge body shook a few times, and its movements became obviously much slower.

Seeing this, Yingfeng seized the opportunity and pierced the puppet's joints with the dagger in his hand like lightning.

The rock golem let out a wail and collapsed with a loud bang, sending rubble flying everywhere.

The old man in black robe looked even more gloomy when he saw his puppet being destroyed.

He laughed wildly and said, "Do you think you can stop me like this? How naive! Once this magic circle is activated, it will bring about a huge disaster. None of you can escape!"

The light of the magic circle grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding space began to distort.

The old man in black robe looked at everyone, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly: "Now, everything is too late..."
