Chapter 514: Great Danger Arrives (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the forefront of the crowd.

Tuohai Fangyun’s eyes were wide. Tuohai Shandao was prepared to pick the flower.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

No one dared to make a sound, and their hands trembled slightly. Anticipation, excitement, and other expressions appeared on their faces.

Only Su Jingxing.

His soul power covered every corner of the Divine Concealment Combat Suit. He stood openly half a meter away from the Mirage Flower and waited quietly while silently calculating the time in his heart.

“Ten.”

“Nine.”

“Eight.”

…

“Three.

“Two.

“One! Now!!”

......

Buzz!

The air suddenly trembled, and a boundless divine aura burst forth in the hall. As Tuohai Shandao had said, the Mirage Flower that had its crown tightly shut suddenly bloomed at the 40-minute mark.

At this moment.

Su Jingxing reached out at lightning speed and plucked the entire Mirage Flower. He put it into his soul space and wrapped it with his soul power. Then, in a flash, he rushed out of the hall like he was flying.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Almost at the same time, Tuohai Shandao reached out to grab the “mutated epiphyllum”.

“Hahaha…”

Tuohai Shandao grinned widely, but he suddenly stopped midway.

His eyes widened and his empty hands froze for a moment before he suddenly roared.

“Where is the flower?!”

That’s right, where was the flower?

There was no treasure herb in Tuohai Shandao’s hands at all. What he had just grabbed was only an illusion.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They finally waited until the treasure herb bloomed, but it had mysteriously disappeared?

Could it be that this treasure herb would be destroyed once it bloomed?

“No!”

“There was a gust of wind just now!”

Tuohai Fangyun was the first to react. He quickly said, “That gust of wind earlier wasn’t by chance. It was caused by someone who escaped after seizing the treasure herb in the invisible state!”

“Courting death!” Tuohai Shandao’s face was cold as he said icily, “He’s courting death by snatching something from my hands!”

Whoosh!

He pushed off his foot and chased out of the hall at lightning speed.

“Let’s go too!”

Tuohai Fangyun called for the crowd and followed behind.

“Let’s go find the thief who stole the treasure herb!”

The others shouted and charged out of the hall.

In less than half a minute, there was no longer anyone in the hall.

No one saw that between the two stone slabs where the “mutated epiphyllum” grew, a groove suddenly trembled after losing the suppression of the energy of the flower.

Then, with a series of rhythmic soft sounds, the groove began to move inch by inch to the right.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The groove chassis rubbed against the stone slabs. At first, it was as slow as a snail, but gradually, it gained the speed of a pony.

Faster and faster, faster and faster.

Finally, the movement was completed, revealing a mysterious array formation engraved with strange runes beneath.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The patterns on the array formation flickered faintly and emitted a fluorescent glow.

First, there was a pale white glow, then two, three, four, five… More and more, and increasingly blinding.

The moment they reached the limit——

Bang!

The mysterious array formation that had appeared exploded. All the patterns began to burn silently, turning into fiery snakes that burned fiercely.

The burning range continued to increase. The moment the entire array formation disappeared with it…

Boom! Boom!

The entire hall shook violently. The stone slabs kept cracking and falling. The huge hall collapsed everywhere, revealing the space below.

There was a massive space beneath the hall!

This space was not like the hall with only one flower.

In the space, countless lifeless mechanical puppets were densely packed and filled everywhere. They did not move and stood quietly like statues.

There were so many of them that it made one’s scalp tingle. There was no end in sight.

Every mechanical puppet held a huge strange weapon that resembled a blade or a sword in their hands. Like guards guarding a mausoleum, their eyes were closed as they guarded silently for countless years. The entire underground space was dead quiet.

However, the mysterious array formation that grew with the Mirage Flower had disappeared.

As if summoned, all the mechanical puppets suddenly opened their emotionless eyes.

Then, they raised their stiff feet and beginning with those at the edge, walked step by step.

Crack! Crack!

An ear-piercing sound reverberated through the underground space.

One after another, burly mechanical puppets walked out of the underground space in an orderly manner and slowly walked towards the entrance of the hall.

One, two, three, four…

…

At the same time, in a quiet passageway.

“As expected of the Divine Concealment Combat Suit!”

Su Jingxing’s consciousness was immersed in his soul space. He looked at the Mirage Flower and grinned.

He looked at this precious herb up close.

Compared to similar epiphyllum flowers, the Mirage Flower was countless times more beautiful. The separated translucent petals were like crystals, sparkling and translucent, like the stars in the sky. It was mesmerizing.

“Comprehend the Law of Fate…”

Su Jingxing took a deep breath, as if he could smell a fragrance that made his soul tremble.

After a while.

His consciousness returned, and he calmed himself down to continue exploring.

The Mirage Flower was a pleasant surprise.

The Overlord spiritual essence mechanism was his goal.

The problem was that Su Jingxing couldn’t deduce it even with the heavenly secret arts.

The Overlord spiritual essence mechanism was not a physical entity at all, nor was it…

Hmm?

What’s going on?!

All of a sudden, Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat. He sensed a great danger filling his body and sweeping over from all directions.

Su Jingxing didn’t like such omens.

After some thought, he decided to leave.

Swish!

Like an arrow, Su Jingxing flew out of the passage he came in from.

After turning a corner at a three-way junction, a person suddenly rushed out from the left passageway.

“Hmm? Brother Feng, you’re out?”

Su Jingxing recognized the person and swiftly put away the Divine Concealment Battle Suit as he called out in surprise.

“Kong Xuan?”

Feng Chong was also stunned when he saw that it was Su Jingxing. However, immediately after, he said solemnly, “Let’s leave quickly. This underground palace is dangerous.”

With that, he pulled Su Jingxing up and ran towards the middle corridor.

“Danger? What did you encounter?” asked Su Jingxing as he ran.

“I’m not sure, I don’t know what’s going on either. In any case, I suddenly felt a great danger descend!” answered Feng Fa with a solemn expression.

“A great danger has arrived?” Su Jingxing recalled the warning earlier.

To think Feng Fa had also sensed it.

Both of them had received a warning of danger, which meant that something major had indeed happened in this underground palace.

And this matter could threaten their safety!

With this in mind, Su Jingxing was puzzled, but he also knew that he wouldn’t get any answers at this time. He could only follow Feng Fa and escape.

The two of them flew quickly through the passageway towards the exit.

When they passed by a forked path, under Tuohai Fangyun’s lead, a few martial artists from the Tuohai Family happened to come out from another passageway.

When the two groups of people met, they were both stunned.

In the confrontation, Su Jingxing coughed lightly and called out to Feng Fa, “Brother Feng, let’s go.”

With that, he prepared to leave.

But, at this moment…

“Stop right there!”

Tuohai Fangyun suddenly shouted angrily, pointing at Su Jingxing and Feng Fa.

“Stop right there! You want to escape after stealing the treasure herb? Dream on!”

“13th Uncle, we’ve found the treasure medicine. The thief is a Heart Moon Fox!”

Swoosh!

Tuohai Fangyun shouted as he turned around to escape.

The few martial artists who were with Tuohai Fangyun were stunned. Their gazes quickly swept across Su Jingxing and Feng Fa.

Then, they turned around and fled with Tuohai Fangyun. As they ran, they shouted,

“The thief is a Heart Moon Fox!”

“The thief is a Heart Moon Fox!”

Agitated voices quickly spread in all directions in the passageway. Then, they continued to spread and echoed in the countless winding corridors.

“The herb thief is a Heart Moon Fox!”

“A Heart Moon Fox…”

“Heart Moon Fox…”
