The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

We continued onward.

Sure enough, we saw many more of the same corpses.

Orochi Ichimaru's emotions were becoming increasingly excited.

However, although these corpses belonged to Orochi Ichimaru's ancestors, he did not intend for his subordinates to be properly buried.

It's clear that this guy is very cold-hearted.

The sky was overcast and gray, and it was impossible to tell the time of day from the light alone.

I don't know how long we walked, but we finally arrived at the foot of a snow-capped mountain.

Looking up from the foot of the snow-capped mountain, you can actually see a palace covered in ice and snow, which looks just like the Heavenly Palace on the top of Changbai Mountain!

A long stone staircase stretches up from the foot of the mountain.

If an ordinary person saw such steps, their legs would definitely give way before they even started climbing them!

But the people who came to the foot of this snow-capped mountain this time were no ordinary people!

Compared to the Great Jing people, the Longwu Dynasty and the Kushan Empire were located in the north, and some areas were in frigid regions all year round. They had long been accustomed to this snowy mountain climate!

In addition, everyone was an expert, so climbing these stairs was like walking on flat ground for them. They easily climbed all the way to the palace at the top of the mountain.

Looking at the palace that was almost completely covered by ice and snow, everyone's eyes showed excitement.

"Hahaha, it seems the place we're looking for is inside!" Huo Yaojin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's breathing became noticeably faster.

“These palaces are covered in ice and snow all year round, and they look very dark inside. Just to be safe, everyone should light torches before going in,” Murong Nishang reminded.

Soon, torches were lit, and the group of people entered the largest palace.

To their surprise, the main hall was completely empty!

"Let's go look somewhere else." Qing Manchao's tone was filled with indescribable disappointment.

Judging from the size of this palace, it is the largest building here, but there is nothing inside.

If it's not available here, it's unlikely to be available elsewhere.

Sure enough, after searching several palaces, they were still empty.

Just when everyone was getting discouraged, they finally made a new discovery.

Just like what Jia Daoshi and his group encountered, a huge pit appeared inside a palace.

Stone steps wind their way down the deep pit!

Then it was gradually swallowed by darkness.

The cave walls were also covered with talismans painted with mysterious patterns!

Without any hesitation, Orochi Ichimaru vanished from the spot in a flash!

He jumped down with his men!

"Quick! Keep up!" Huo Yaojin roared, "Don't let that bastard steal our treasure!"

"Swipe!"

One by one, the masters used their strongest and fastest movement techniques to chase after Orochi Ichimaru!

Soon, the group arrived underground!

Because it was too dark underground, after coming down, Huo Yaojin immediately told his men to light all the spare torches.

The bottom of the cave was also covered with those talismans, but many of them were already broken.

"Looking at these talismans, they seem to be the methods of those shamans from the Martial King Valley of the Great Jing Dao." Huo Yaojin looked around and said with a suspicious expression, "So many strange talismans, I wonder what they're trying to suppress! There's nothing at the bottom of this cave, are they just sticking them up for fun?"

Huo Yaojin's voice echoed back and forth at the bottom of the pit.

Orochi Ichimaru and his group stood motionless at the bottom of the cave, seemingly caught off guard by the situation below.

"Impossible... Why is this happening!" Orochi Ichimaru was somewhat dazed.

After going through all this trouble to get here, is it just to see these things?

This was completely different from what he had imagined!

If there's nothing here, then all his efforts over the years have been a joke!

"Wait, look at the walls around us, there seems to be something there!"

Just then, Sun Xingyu seemed to have made a discovery. Holding a torch, she walked to the stone wall!

The torchlight shone on the stone wall, revealing sharp sword marks that crisscrossed the wall, forming unique patterns.

It's clear that this is a master swordsman!

In the mural, a woman arrives on the island by boat!

A young man greets people on the island, and behind him, a group of people kneel on the ground in a gesture of worship.

Next, the woman arrived at the mountaintop palace, and then her body was covered with talismans and she was suppressed at the bottom of the cave!

This is the message that the mural is trying to convey.

A woman, invited by a young man on the island, came by boat, only to be killed here!

"Who is this person? The legendary sea fairy?"

"And who is this man? Could he be Emperor Qing Tai?"

A group of people were talking about it.

"Yoshi! This is the woman! This is the woman! This is the perfect body I've been looking for!" Just then, Orochi Ichimaru's eerie voice rang out from the bottom of the pit.

"What do you mean? You know this woman!" Huo Yaojin turned around abruptly, his copper bell-like eyes glaring down at Orochi Ichimaru!

"She is the legend of our ninja world! The progenitor of the ninja world! There's no mistake! It's her!" Orochimaru's voice was extremely excited.

"She must still be here, she must still be here!"

Seeing Orochi Ichimaru's insane appearance, everyone fell silent.

"Hey! This mural looks very old. How could this woman still be alive? And what makes you so sure she's still on this island?" Huo Yaojin's words became increasingly absurd. "She's a complete madwoman! Or is it that this woman killed all your clansmen? Didn't you say she was a legend in your ninja world, the progenitor of the ninja world?"

A faint golden light flashed in Orochi Ichimaru's eyes: "That's right! I can sense that she's still on this island!"

Everyone: "???"

This is ridiculous!

If this woman is still alive, how old would she be?

"You're crazy! This is impossible! We haven't found any trace of human life along the way! You're not talking about a ghost, are you?" Huo Yaojin sneered.

This time, Orochi Ichimaru remained silent.

"Can you tell me what the purpose of this place is?" Ouyang Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Also, are you really certain about the identities of the two people in this picture?"

Ouyang Ling's words left everyone speechless.

If all they see in front of them is this place, then they've come for nothing!

What kind of treasures are these from the Temple of Martial Gods? That's utter nonsense!

After all, in the legends of the martial arts world, the Martial God Hall and treasures are synonymous!

But now it seems that this statement is pure nonsense!

"The entire island is surrounded by towering walls, and within those walls, it's divided into three distinct sections. If we have this eerie palace here, we can't rule out the possibility that the other two places also have similar palaces! This underground place we're in was once used to imprison a woman! Could it be that people were also imprisoned within the other two doors? Therefore, Emperor Qing Tai didn't build this Temple of the God of War to worship the so-called sea fairies! He used it to imprison these fairies!" Qing Manchao paused for a moment, then pointed to the murals and said, "Legends are beautiful, but reality is cruel."
