Chapter 1351: Well-Prepared
"Thank you for the reminder."
Bai Xiyue responded to the thin middle-aged man's words with just four characters.
Then, after watching the four people depart in a hasty manner, Bai Xiyue said, "Let's go inside."
After saying this, he led the way into the hall.
His five subordinates and Xue Yao followed behind, while Qin Tian hesitated for a moment but naturally joined them.
The entrance of the hall was a large door, and inside was a spacious hall, surrounded by stone walls.
When Qin Tian arrived at the entrance, the first thing he saw was the corpses of the group of people from earlier, some already beginning to rot, emitting a foul stench.
"I see the walls are hiding poison arrows; we need to pass through this hall relying on our own reactions," Qin Tian said.
Bai Xiyue still didn't speak, he turned to Xue Yao and asked, "Yaoyao, are you ready? No problems?"
Xue Yao laughed, "Wow, we're breaking through, so thrilling, so exciting! Sister Yue, let's hurry and start."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian nearly fell headfirst to the ground. My dear sister, people might die here, and you find it thrilling?
Bai Xiyue no longer spoke, gave some orders to his subordinates, and released a True Qi Barrier from around him, saying "Follow me," as he stepped into the hall first.
The eight people followed one after another, moving slowly, each heightening their Sensing Power to the most sensitive level.
Amidst the ghostly sounds surrounding the hall, Bai Xiyue began to pick up the pace.
Just as everyone accelerated, the sound of arrows whizzing from the walls came swiftly!
However, these hidden weapons were not considered fast in front of a great master like Bai Xiyue, and he easily dodged them.
Everyone, including Qin Tian, also dodged hundreds of hidden weapons without a scratch.
"Oh my, I thought what it could be, just these hidden weapons, they're too slow, no fun."
Xue Yao pouted, "Looks like it's not that these hidden weapons are strong but those shooting them are too weak."
Bai Xiyue remained cautious and said, "Everyone, remain vigilant; the entry is just the beginning, this place is absolutely not simple."
The palace was exceedingly long and dark, after half an hour of walking, Bai Xiyue suddenly pulled out a compass-like object.
The compass was forged from gold, appearing ancient with a golden needle rotating on it, not pointing to directions, and Qin Tian didn't know why Bai Xiyue took it out.
However, Bai Xiyue seemed purposeful while guiding the way with this Mysterious Compass.
After traversing the dark passage, Qin Tian saw in the palace corridor a huge meteorite pit in the distance of the square, the meteorite seemingly embedded in the ground, emanating a fiery aura.
At this moment, two groups of people also noticed the anomaly in the meteorite pit and were enthusiastically jumping in, searching for treasures.
Initially, Qin Tian wanted to join in the excitement because his instinct told him there couldn't be nothing in the pit.
However, Bai Xiyue didn't seem inclined to stop; guided by the Mysterious Compass, he prepared to head down a path overgrown with weeds.
"Miss Bai, aren't we here for treasure hunting? Aren't you going to take a look?"
Qin Tian couldn't help but ask because he felt that Bai Xiyue and his group seemed not to be here for treasure hunting. They didn't even glance at the pit that might hold treasures.
"No, continue forward," Bai Xiyue responded indifferently to Qin Tian's words and continued on.
"Qin Tian, since you're part of our team, don't think about leaving alone—hurry and catch up, come, chase me," Xue Yao said ahead of Qin Tian.
Qin Tian rolled his eyes, "Can you not say that..."
After passing through the weed-overgrown path, they reached a garden behind the hall, quieter than the front courtyard without the meteorite pit.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, from the wooded area in the distance of the backyard, two people were running fast, shouting loudly for help!
Everyone looked up and saw in the distant woods two people brandishing long swords, racing frantically towards Qin Tian and the others.
Behind them were over a dozen long-haired heads floating in the air, emitting green light and fiercely colliding towards those two!
"What the heck... Bodyless heads? What the hell!"
Qin Tian was dumbfounded.
The dozen heads in the woods were all with flowing long hair, emitting strange noises as they floated in the air.
Most bizarrely, these heads had eyes emitting green light, and within the green light, silver needle-like hidden weapons burst out, shooting violently at the two!
Qin Tian was completely blown away, "What kind of high-tech is this, does Spiritual Domain have such things?"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
The two people looked like they were at the Qi Refining Late Stage; before they could reach Qin Tian and the others, they were caught up by the heads, the green light shot out, and they died on the spot!
The heads floated in the air, and after killing those two, suddenly the head with the most intense green light turned towards Qin Tian and his group, emitting strange cries!
Bai Xiyue said, "Prepare for battle, these undead have noticed us."
The other five, their swords immediately drawn.
As those dozen heads charged towards Bai Xiyue and his group, Bai Xiyue waved his hand, and the five subordinates simultaneously charged out; long swords and large blades in the woods unleashed waves of Sword Shadows. In less than ten minutes, all the heads were struck down and killed.
"All masters, all masters, even the weakest are at the Primordial Pill Early Stage, truly formidable!"
Seeing those five's skills, Qin Tian pursed his lips, thinking, is the Demon Sect having this kind of strength even in regular minions? That's terrifying!
"Haha, fun, these people must have died a long time ago, their flesh rotten, only bones left. Curiously, the hair is still attached to the bones... Is this some Evil Technique, Sister Yue?"
Xue Yao showed no fear, closely examining the heads on the ground, curiously asking Bai Xiyue.
"These undead were subjected to a spell, so under True Qi stimulation, they were given life. This is Corpse Refining Technique, legend says those who practice it are only in the Western Demon Clan..."
Bai Xiyue spoke half-way and glanced at Qin Tian, not continuing further.
Qin Tian saw the wariness in Bai Xiyue's eyes; it seemed Bai Xiyue was hiding something.
She put away her weapon, looked at the compass, and said to the five subordinates, "The most dangerous section is approaching, be prepared. Then we will act according to plan, grab the item and retreat, no lingering in battle."
"Yes," Chi Ren and the others responded.
Qin Tian quietly observed from the side, deeply shocked—
Based on Bai Xiyue and the others' actions, it was clear they came prepared.
They not only knew where the treasure was but also knew the route!
