What happened to these people?

After the fireworks lit up in the sky above Luzhou, Li Yushan immediately led his men to the west of the city to support the Jinyiwei who had descended underground, followed by Yonglin Temple and the eminent monks of Annan.

The extraordinary people and strange scholars who remained in the residence of the Prince of Shu originally wanted to observe the situation,

But unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yushan and the others left,

The ground in the main hall of the residence collapsed again, revealing a dark pit leading directly underground.

After much deliberation, some cultivators still chose to team up and explore the pit—there were indeed people among them who were good at digging and tunneling, and they were confident that they could get back up even if they were trapped underground.

Thus, the two groups descended into the tunnel separately and encountered stone gate traps.

After paying a small price, they gradually figured out the patterns of the stone gate problem and were guided step by step to the depths of the earth,

Meeting at a certain fork in the road,

They arrived at the underground palace together.

"Creak—"

As the stone gate fully opened, Li Yushan and the others were first attracted by the magnificent underground palace architecture,

Then they saw the iron armor standing proudly with a sword at the top of the pyramid, and the terrifying and hideous legions of natural disasters beneath the pyramid,

And finally, they discovered the two groups of acquaintances on both sides of the underground palace.

"Lord Yu, this..."

Li Yushan subconsciously asked, but saw Yu Qingqiu and Gongyang Han's expressions change drastically, and they shouted in unison: "Don't close the door!!"

What?

Li Yushan's heart skipped a beat, and his instincts took over, involuntarily raising his palm to hold the slowly closing door on the left,

Cooperating with the Jinyiwei, using spears and halberds made of refined steel to jam the stone gate, preventing it from closing.

"Phew..."

Yu Qingqiu and Gongyang Han both breathed a sigh of relief,

They exchanged glances, and their expressions became gloomy again.

Now that there is a way out again, then...

Murderous intent spread once again in the underground palace,

If we only look at the number of people, Yu Qingqiu's side, which had received reinforcements, undoubtedly had the advantage,

But if Gongyang Han, as the young master of the White Lotus Sect, was determined to escape, relying on some trump cards, the other party might not be able to stop him...

"Thump!"

A heavy impact sound rang out,

Everyone subconsciously looked back,

Only to see the stone gate where the White Lotus Sect members had entered, already covered with thick ice, trembled slightly.

"Thump!"

The impact sound came from behind the door again,

The thick ice layer on the door crackled and cracked, and cracks spread like spider webs, and ice chips fell like snowflakes.

The White Lotus Sect members standing by the door subconsciously moved away from the stone door, retreating dozens of steps away,

"Thump!"

The ice layer on the stone gate was completely shattered, and ice blocks of various sizes piled up at the entrance, constantly emitting cold air.

It seemed like a few seconds had passed, and it seemed like a long time had passed,

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the stone gate exploded with a "boom",

The two door panels disintegrated into countless stones, flying out with the crushed ice,

Either hitting the beams and columns, splashing debris,

Or hitting the quicksilver river, stirring up brilliant silver light.

The door was open,

Revealing a dark and lightless silent tunnel.

"Oh?"

The iron armor on the pyramid tip seemed to have seen something interesting, and hummed with interest,

Resting on the long sword, gently rotating the hilt.

No one knew what was behind the stone gate,

Only the slight sound of air flowing could be heard.

Swish—

After a long time, a faint sound like flowing sand came from behind the stone gate,

A huge shadow slowly moved out of the stone gate, appearing within the range of the candlelight.

The body of the shadow was nearly five meters long, overall black, similar to a mixture of ants and beetles,

There was a clear waist section between the head, chest, and abdomen,

The head was large and round, with horns similar to a rhinoceros growing on the top, and the exposed mouthparts were a bit like an alien, able to spit out a chameleon-like annular serrated tongue.

The abdomen was particularly肥大, covered with two shiny golden hard elytra, and behind the elytra were transparent and thin hind wings,

However, judging from the insect's overly huge size, the hind wings should not be enough to support its flight.

The giant insect moved slowly forward, arching one after another, with its six feet on the ground,

The long tongue drooping beside its head dragged on the ground, covered with mud and dust.

Gongyang Han's pupils shrank suddenly, and he clearly saw a piece of blood-stained cloth hooked on the serrated tongue of the monster,

Clearly the clothes of the White Lotus Sect members who had died in the door before.

It was this insect that sucked him dry...

Including the members of the Wu De Guard, everyone was ready for battle,

However, in the next second, the monster suddenly flew up,

Accelerated in a straight line, and crashed into the underground palace beam, its head shattered, and it fell to the ground in despair.

No, the monster did not fly up on its own initiative, its weak and pitiful wings had not been fully unfolded just now,

And there was no gas ejected from its tail.

It was kicked out by something...

Gongyang Han's sight focused behind the stone gate,

Step, step, step.

The footsteps were steady and forceful,

A young Daoist dressed in a black cloak slowly walked out of the darkness, wiped his boots on the ground with a calm expression,

Ignoring the inquiring gazes of the crowd,

He patted the stone wall on his own, marveling at the candlelight and quicksilver river in the underground palace.

"Magnificent and majestic, imposing and磅礴, simple yet delicate, elegant yet trendy."

The young Daoist looked at the underground palace and sighed: "This mausoleum is wonderfully built,

I wonder which master designed and built it, it is truly ingenious, making people want to move in as soon as possible."

Black cloak, short hair, Daoist.

A name instantly appeared in everyone's mind,

The one who has risen to fame recently—

"Daoist Ximenzi?"

Li Yushan asked in a deep voice.

The young Daoist, or rather Li Ang, said indifferently, "That's right, it is I."

"I have long admired your name."

Li Yushan cupped his hands, but couldn't find any suitable words for a while, so he had to ask: "Is the Daoist also here to find auspicious signs?"

"Yes."

Li Ang nodded indifferently, closed his eyes, and quickly changed hand gestures,

As if calculating divination (if there were players on the scene, they might be able to see that Li Ang was actually playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" with his fingers)

After a long time, he opened his eyes, met the gaze of the iron armor on the pyramid, and slowly said: "That auspicious sign should be in your hands, right?"

"Oh?"

Miss Chai held the paper Frostmourne on the ground, crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin slightly, and asked coldly: "How do you know?"
