Wang Mu laughed heartily, "Lixue, you are a princess, rich and noble. What evil spirits or demons would dare to do evil? Let alone this little curse."

This was the second time Li Xue had heard this. She didn't understand, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, where did you hear about this ethereal thing? I've never heard of a princess being able to ward off curses."

“Lixue, judging from your face, you are destined for ten lifetimes of prosperity. And considering the feng shui of this city, you have nothing to fear from any curses here. Your coming here may be the will of Heaven.”

Lixue was secretly delighted upon hearing this, and then asked, "Why is it fate?"

Wang Mu explained, “All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. I observe that this city appears to be deep underground in the yellow sand, but it does not belong to the earth element. Instead, it belongs to the metal element. If there is a curse, it must be the fire element. You are a water element person, so naturally you are the one who is restrained by the curse of this city.”

Lixue was confused, but she quickly realized what was going on. "Your Majesty, although I don't understand, I remember you taught the Divine Phoenix Camp about the Five Elements and Nine Palaces a few years ago, and you also mentioned the Five Elements."

"Yes, they are somewhat similar, but the concept of feng shui here is much more complicated than that."

Lixue nodded as if she didn't quite understand.

Unbeknownst to them, the several streams of black energy that had converged were slowly withdrawing, disappearing without a trace in just a few seconds.

Soon, the two arrived at the palace gate. Wang Mu sat down heavily and looked at the statue in the square in front of him. There was also a statue in the palace, but it was much smaller, only about ten meters tall.

"Your Majesty, please don't be upset. Perhaps we haven't found the treasure yet, or maybe there's another secret hiding place?"

Wang Mu said helplessly, "I searched several times just now, and even explored the underground room next to the wall, but unfortunately I didn't find any clues."

"Don't worry, we brought enough food, we can take our time looking. Besides, we haven't found a way out yet, have we?" Lixue comforted her.

Wang Mu sighed, nodded, and stared blankly at the statue in the square.

As he looked at it, he suddenly noticed that the statue in front of him was somewhat different from the one in the palace. He asked excitedly, "Lixue, have you noticed that this statue is different from the one inside?"

Upon hearing this, Lixue re-examined the statues in the square, comparing them in her mind to those in the palace. After a short while, she exclaimed, "Those are spears!"

“Yes, the direction of the spear, and the tip.” Wang Mu nodded with a smile.

The two returned to the palace and saw that the statue was indeed different from the ones outside. The angle of the spear was different, and the front of the hand grip was different, with several extra circles, as if there was some kind of mechanism.

Lixue looked up and examined the spear closely before saying, "It seems like it can be pulled out."

"Lixue, go to the door, it's safe there."

Li Xue didn't want to go, but thinking that if something unexpected happened, she would become a burden, she nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful."

"it is good."

Wang Mu waited until Li Xue reached the door, then leaped onto the statue. The spear was as big as two fists. He looked at Li Xue again, then pulled the spear.

Lixue looked nervous and didn't dare to blink even once.

Seeing that the spear could indeed be pulled, she was startled when suddenly the floor in front of her creaked and she took two steps back.

When Wang Mu ran to her side, the floor from his feet to half a meter above the statue collapsed, revealing a stone staircase.

The next second, the light inside came on; something must have been ignited.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Wang Mu drew his longsword. "Let's go down."

Lixue hummed in agreement, and the two of them walked down the stone steps one after the other.

The stone steps lead down for nearly twenty meters, then to a corridor more than ten meters wide and nearly ten meters high. Before a person even gets close, the oil lamps on the walls on both sides spontaneously combust.

After walking for about ten minutes, a huge door blocked their way. This door was not made of stone, but of refined iron. The two were shocked when they saw it.

"What a grand gesture! What a grand gesture!" Wang Mu exclaimed, looking at the gate.

Li Xue nodded, then her face lit up with joy. "Your Majesty, it seems we have found the entrance to the treasure."

"Haha, I'm sure so." Wang Mu said with great enthusiasm. "Lixue, you stay here and let me open this door."

"This door is made of fine iron; it must weigh tens of thousands of kilograms."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let me try and I'll know."

Lixue took a few steps back, her eyes fixed on the person and the door in front of her.

Wang Mu walked to the door, placed both hands on it, and pushed with about 30-40% of his strength, but it didn't budge.

He sighed inwardly, "What a fine stone door!"

He stood in a horse stance, his feet like pillars, secretly inhaling into his dantian, channeling all his power into his palms, and drawing strength from the earth, he shouted: "Open!"

The gate, made of fine iron, was slowly pushed open, and within seconds, a few inches of it was revealed.

Wang Mu was overjoyed, and then let out a loud roar as he pushed open the heavy door, which weighed over ten thousand pounds.

Lixue cupped her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief, never expecting that the person she loved would be born with superhuman strength.

Now the door is fully open, revealing a space that is ten meters wide, more than ten meters long, and five or six meters high.

Wang Mu stopped, and Li Xue walked to his side. The two of them looked around and saw that there was only a statue in the middle of the room, standing there all alone.

This statue is similar to the previous one, only much smaller, about two meters tall, making it appear somewhat miniature.

Looking at the spear on the statue again, there is a protrusion at the front, but it is somewhat different from the previous ones.

In addition to the oil lamps, there were twelve paintings on the walls on both sides of the room, six on each side, each three meters tall. No one knew who the paintings depicted, and Lixue looked at them for a long time but still couldn't recognize them.

Wang Mu was taken aback. Why weren't there mountains of gold coins or sacred artifacts filling half the room?

He laughed and said, "It seems there's more to this place than meets the eye. I wonder where the mechanism is?"

"Your Majesty, let's go inside and take a look. This room isn't big, so if there really is a mechanism, it shouldn't be difficult to find it."

"Ah."

The two entered the room, and Wang Mu pointed to the spear on the statue, "It seems that the mechanism to open is this spear again."

Lixue nodded, but then added with concern, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seemed before, and why are there twelve paintings here?"

After carefully looking around, Wang Mu said, "It doesn't seem like there's anything special about it."

Lixue was worried, but after walking around the wall and seeing that the twelve paintings were nothing special, she secretly felt relieved.

At this moment, Wang Mu laughed and said, "There shouldn't be any danger anymore, Lixue. Think about it, the places we fell from the desert through are not places that ordinary people can pass through. We should have set up traps and mechanisms outside the city."

Li Xue thought about it and agreed. The two of them had gone through many life-or-death situations to get here. There were some places that even Saint-level experts or God-level experts would find difficult to pass through. Only those with special martial arts skills like the Emperor could get through by chance. Even so, it was not easy to come to this city.
