"My God, how can this place be so big?"

Pang Bo looked up at the towering dome and exclaimed in awe.

As soon as they entered the palace, they discovered that the space was hundreds of times larger than it appeared from the outside.

Rows of towering boulders, made of some unknown material and radiating various colors of shimmering light, stretched from the palace gates into the interior.

These stone pillars are carved with all sorts of mythical beasts, including lightning birds, qilin beasts, dragons, and golden crows...

Their postures were all different; some were fighting with other demonic beasts, some were breathing in the sun, and some were blowing away the Milky Way with their breath.

The carvings on each stone pillar appear so rough, like the casual strokes of a primitive person.

But with just a few strokes, their essence is captured.

One of the paintings, "The Roc Soaring Through the Dragon," still exudes a chilling killing intent even after ten thousand years, making people involuntarily take two steps back.

Such a diagram, if placed outside, could be protected by Lingxu Cave Heaven as a sect treasure.

If one is a gifted genius, perhaps one can learn a sliver of the true meaning from it.

This is enough for them to step into Sendai and obtain the ticket to compete for the throne.

Inside the main hall beneath the stone pillars, countless broken bones and limbs were scattered everywhere.

Some died at the doorway, and it was immediately obvious that they had died in battle.

Some were nailed to stone pillars, their blood trickling down, staining the pillars red and bringing out a wild and eerie aura.

There are even those who stood in front of the stone pillars and inexplicably turned into dried corpses.

These are the remains of the powerful demons and elders who came in to fight. In fact, the vast majority of them did not die in the battle, but died in the restrictions.

Upon entering the main hall, a chill ran through his entire body, starting from his toes.

Sha Xiao's hair stood on end, and he shouted sharply:

"Don't move!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo immediately froze, as if under a three-two-one "wooden man" spell.

Pang Bo kept his head tilted back and mouth open, not daring to blink, and even the flow of blood was reduced to a minimum.

Ye Fan was in the same situation. His left foot, which had just taken a half-step, was forcibly nailed in mid-air, and now he was supported by half of his right foot, like a stone statue.

"Well, it hasn't come to that."

Seeing the two people reacting so over the top, Sha Xiao said awkwardly.

"Hiss hiss hiss."

Xiaoqing wrapped her arms around Sha Xiao's neck and laughed loudly at the two of them.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo, one on the left and one on the right, teleported to Sha Xiao's side like lightning.

The golden lightning flashing on Pang Bo's wings acted like a dragon, locking down Xiao Qing's every movement.

Golden light wrapped around Ye Fan's hands, so intense it seemed to explode the air itself, as he pierced through the lightning net and lunged at Xiao Qing.

With a "whoosh," the entire snake Xiaoqing vanished and sank into Sha Xiao's body.

Ye Fan narrowly withdrew his grip before he could put his arm around Sha Xiao's neck.

"Hmm!"

Ye Fan's face turned pale, and the muscles in his hands trembled. Forcibly withdrawing his full strength was not an easy task for him.

"Crackling sound—"

Pang Bo's lightning spread out, turning the surrounding ground red.

"Old Sha, there was something on your neck just now!"

Pang Bo pointed at Sha Xiao's neck and warned loudly.

"I'm fine."

Sha Xiao awkwardly touched her nose.

In truth, the main problem lies with him.

He thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then explained his relationship with Xiaoqing to the two of them.

"Huh? You mean, all our cultivation resources were swindled from others by you?"

Pang Bo exclaimed in surprise.

Helpless, Sha Xiao desperately winked at the two of them.

Ye Fan nodded, secretly gave a thumbs-up, and said with a dark face:

"Ahem, Lao Sha, I have to criticize you for this. Do you think this misunderstanding is caused by your own incompetence?"

"Alright, quickly bring Miss Xiaoqing out and apologize to her properly."

Sha Xiao stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan.

No, buddy?

Putting aside the facts, don't you and Pang Bo have any problems?

How can you shift the blame onto yourself?

More than 20 years of brotherhood couldn't withstand this little bit of source?

Little Qing cautiously poked its head out, its tail pointing at Ye Fan and Pang Bo as it hissed repeatedly.

"Uh..." Ye Fan looked at Pang Bo, "What did she say?"

Pang Bo stared wide-eyed at Sha Xiao and Xiao Qing, his face filled with disbelief:

"This is outrageous! She actually took your side. Old Sha, when did you become Cao Dahua's apprentice?"

Xiao Qing raised its head, its tail tapping Sha Xiao, giving off a protective look that said, "Only I can scold it, and no one else can criticize it."

Ye Fan looked at Sha Xiao and could only give him a thumbs up; that was truly awesome!

After a series of accidental mishaps, the group relaxed a bit and started discussing countermeasures.

Sha Xiao pointed to the corpses scattered throughout the hall, each in a different manner, and said:

"You must follow my instructions. There are many restrictions in this place. If you are hit, even those powerful figures will suffer greatly."

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded solemnly.

Looking inside the ancient hall, Sha Xiao saw a vast expanse of crisscrossing Dao traces, like a tangled mess of hemp fibers.

The only saving grace is that this must be a fake tomb that the Azure Emperor just randomly picked up from a temporary palace and made.

Although there were imperial formations, none of them were complete, and most of them had been reduced to fragments over time.

Sha Xiao touched his chest, feeling the Azure Emperor's Heart that beat in sync with his own, and felt more confident.

Pang Bo patted Sha Xiao on the shoulder casually and said confidently:

"I understand, you are Shirley Yang, and Lao Ye and I are Fatty and Bayi."

"Our current plan is to use the cemetery's traps to bury those experts."

Sha Xiao couldn't help but smile as she watched Pang Bo quickly adjust his mindset:

"You're right. However, our goal isn't to kill them."

"The one outside that looks like a light bulb is the current Holy Lord of the Yao Guang Holy Land. These broken restrictions alone cannot kill him."

Ye Fan was also taken aback when he heard this. Wasn't this the holy land that Weiwei was going to?

If everything had gone smoothly, he and Pang Bo should have joined Yaoguang to collect resources under Sha Xiao's arrangement.

Good heavens, they've already clashed with the Holy Lord before they even arrived.

Needless to say, he definitely can't go.

Sha Xiao drew a map of the ancient temple and explained:

"This ancient temple looks vast, but it is actually mainly divided into three parts."

"The outermost layer contains these Daoist principles, the second layer contains the treasures of that great emperor, and the third layer contains this heart."

"Although it's a fake tomb, it's a true treasure trove. The rumors about Lingxu Cave Heaven are true; that Great Emperor really left behind the weapon he entrusted with his life."

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Sha Xiao's line of thinking:

"You mean, we open the treasure vault and slip away while they're looting?"

Sha Xiao shook her head:

"If it were before, I could easily escape by using the array I had set up, as long as I refined those few Gu worms."

"But now that someone of the level of the Holy Lord of Yao Guang has arrived, if we still dare to teleport through the void, they will only knock us out of the void and leave us with no place to bury our bodies."

He looked up into the dark depths of the hall, touched the Azure Emperor's heart, and recalled the Great Love Immortal's earnest teachings. He gritted his teeth and said:

"When you're out in the world, you choose your own identity. Since they say we're the Holy Sons of the Demon Clan, then we'll confirm it!"
