467: Gathering in the stone hall

Behind the portal was a serene space, filled with a thin layer of mist.

Looking around, the view was hazy.

Lin Xiu saw a piece of land suspended in the air and controlled his body to descend onto it.

"Be careful."

Xiao Xuan seemed to notice Lin Xiu's slight complacency and reminded him softly.

Lin Xiu nodded.

Everyone who had entered earlier was gathered on the square, seemingly separated from Soul Emperor and his group. For a moment, they made no move, as if searching for a direction.

"Brother Xiao."

Gu Yuan approached, his tone somewhat anxious, "Why are you so slow?"

"Where is Soul Emperor?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Gu Yuan sighed, "When I followed in, I was blocked by the Four Saints. By the time I wanted to pursue, Soul Emperor and Void Swallowing Flame had already disappeared ahead of us. And the Four Saints seemed to deliberately delay time, running in different directions."

"These guys are too cunning. Is there anything we can do now? This space seems to have a special suppression; I can only sense a range of less than a thousand zhang, which is too small compared to this land. If Soul Emperor gets the item first, our trip will have been in vain."

Lei Ying said angrily.

"Brother Xiao, do you know anything about the Immortal Cave?" Yan Jin asked.

Xiao Xuan shook his head, turning his gaze to Lin Xiu beside him, "You were the first to discover the Immortal Cave. How about it? Do you have any way to break this stalemate now? If we split up to search, it will not only take time, but we might also be defeated by Soul Emperor one by one."

Among everyone present, Soul Emperor's strength was in a league of his own.

Especially with Void Swallowing Flame by his side, not everyone could ignore the attacks of the Heavenly Flame like Lin Xiu.

Even if Gu Yuan encountered them alone, he would likely suffer a considerable loss.

"I have a way."

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Xiu nodded slightly and released the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

The Demon Fire seemed to smell a familiar scent, its flames rolling and crackling, and the temperature suddenly soared, forcing Gu Yuan and the others to raise their Dou Qi defenses.

"I know you have an impression of this place; quickly lead the way," Lin Xiu said with a slight frown, commanding.

Subsequently, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's emotions calmed down slightly, and it flew in a certain direction.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan and the others showed a bewildered expression.

Why did the Purification Lotus Demon Flame know this place?

Also, why did Lin Xiu know that the Demon Fire knew this place?

What was happening?

Facing the gazes from Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and the others, Xiao Xuan shrugged, caught up with Lin Xiu, and asked, "Why do you say the Purification Lotus Demon Flame has an impression of this place?"

Gu Yuan and the others were nearby, pricking up their ears.

"You'll understand when you see it later," Lin Xiu did not explain.

Everyone, filled with questions, silently followed behind the Demon Fire, continuing to fly forward.

Far behind.

Zhu Kun slowly walked in and was stunned when he saw Lin Xiu leading a large group of people following the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

"What is this kid's background, exactly?" He clearly had some understanding of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode and muttered with a frown.

After several tens of minutes of continuous flight, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's speed gradually slowed.

At the same time, on the vast plain, an ancient square appeared, and at the end of the square was a stone hall.

The figures of Soul Emperor and Void Swallowing Flame had already arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

"How did they catch up so quickly?"

Hearing the commotion, Soul Emperor turned around and immediately saw a dense crowd of people appearing like flying birds.

"It's the Purification Lotus Demon Flame!" Void Swallowing Flame's eyes flickered, showing a thoughtful expression, and he gave an answer.

"Why does it know the way? And you, why do you seem so familiar with the Immortal Cave?" Soul Emperor couldn't help but ask.

Void Swallowing Flame didn't tell the truth, turning his head to look at the thousand-zhang-high pillars standing on both sides of the square.

Soul Emperor had noticed them earlier, but his mind was on the main hall and he hadn't thought much of it.

Looking again now, he discovered something unusual.

"Heavenly Flames? Each pillar actually holds a Heavenly Flame! Huh, why are the second and third pillars empty?"

Soul Emperor noticed that after the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame on the fourth pillar, the space was empty, and the first pillar was also bare.

His brows furrowed, and as if realizing something, he suddenly turned his head and said, "You escaped from here before?"

However.

When Soul Emperor turned his head, his side was empty; Void Swallowing Flame's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Not good!" Soul Emperor exclaimed, immediately realizing the problem, and rushed into the main hall.

The hall was originally filled with thick mist, which was now being absorbed by Void Swallowing Flame.

Soul Emperor saw him, and his expression relaxed slightly.

"You suspect me?" Void Swallowing Flame asked, tilting his head.

"I was just worried about you coming in alone, what if you encountered danger?" Soul Emperor said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say there was an emperor pill in here? Where is it? Quickly grab it and let's leave before Gu Yuan and the others arrive."

The main hall was very spacious. At a glance, apart from a lonely old man's statue, there were only some suspended light clusters.

Inside them were Cultivation Techniques and Fighting Skills, and the aura they emitted proved their high quality.

But none of them were what Soul Emperor needed.

What he truly wanted was an item that could help him Breakthrough to Dou Di.

"Don't disturb me, I need to think. Many memories about this place have been lost," Void Swallowing Flame said in a deep voice.

Many Elders of the Soul Clan followed behind Soul Emperor. Seeing the light clusters, they all stepped forward to acquire them.

These were free gains; there was no reason not to take them.

After eight or nine breaths of time.

Soul Emperor did not receive an answer from Void Swallowing Flame; instead, he heard dense footsteps behind him.

A large group of people, following behind Lin Xiu, all stepped into the main hall.

When they saw the light clusters, most of them were tempted and rushed forward to compete for them.

Only a few Clan Chiefs and powerful Elders remained still.

"How about it? Didn't I tell you? The outcome is still uncertain. Being happy too early can easily lead to extreme joy turning into sorrow, right?" Looking at Soul Emperor's somewhat stiff face, Lin Xiu's lips curved into a cold smile.

"Soul Emperor, is this the burial ground you chose for yourself? It is indeed a geomantically auspicious place. Being in the same room as a Dou Di, dying here is still something to be thankful for," Xiao Xuan said.

Soul Emperor gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly, a hint of pressure flickering between his brows.

Almost all the strongest people on the entire Dou Qi Continent were gathered here.

Swish!

His eyes flashed with electric light, staring intently at Lin Xiu, who stood in front of Xiao Xuan and the others.

It was this kid!

If it weren't for him, the Stone Clan would have been annihilated by now. As long as Gu Yuan and the others hadn't been alerted in advance, the Yao Clan could definitely have been silently wiped out by him. How could they have the chance to block him here!

His cheek seemed to be stung by the gaze, a little painful.

But Lin Xiu's smile remained, revealing an indifferent attitude.

No matter how convoluted the process, at least the current situation was indeed the scene he had envisioned.

"Shall we act?" Xiao Xuan's body surged with energy, manifesting an unusual phenomenon, and he inquired of Lin Xiu.

Just then, a faint laugh suddenly echoed.

"This space hasn't been so lively in a long time..." An ancient voice drifted down from above.

Everyone looked up in unison.

Only to see a figure standing on the shoulder of a gigantic, ten-thousand-zhang-tall old man's stone statue.

The figure appeared ancient, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze from above extremely calm, watching Soul Emperor, Gu Yuan, and the others as if they were ants.

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?!" Someone noticed the old man's attire, which was very similar to the giant stone statue, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"What? Tuoshe Ancient Emperor isn't dead yet?" Soul Emperor's expression was somewhat grim. He sharply turned to look at Void Swallowing Flame, "What's going on?"

Void Swallowing Flame's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed as his gaze met the figure, and he said lightly, "He is not Tuoshe Ancient Emperor... but an emperor pill!"
