"Let's meet here later."

After Xu Fan's reprimand, Igarashi seemed to have an epiphany and quickly ran off to the other side after saying a quick goodbye.

Watching his rapidly departing figure, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Only after scolding you do you get it..."

Not daring to waste a single moment, Xu Fan muttered to himself as he quickly ran out.

A map he had seen earlier in the main hall gradually surfaced in his mind.

Although he desperately wanted to haul away all the treasures from the Underground Palace Tomb, Xu Fan understood that it was unrealistic.

He had no idea how much time was left...

With little time to spare, he figured it was more reliable to seize the most valuable things in here first.

Amusingly enough, Xu Fan wasn't sure what was truly valuable in here.

He could only rely on his instincts to search.

After sprinting for a while, Xu Fan soon arrived at a building.

"It should be the Nine Heavens Dragon Elephant Art inside here."

The Mechanical Warriors guarding the building had collapsed due to a lack of energy supply. After confirming the location with the map, Xu Fan barged right in.

Upon pushing the door open and scanning the room, he quickly spotted an ancient scroll displayed in the main hall.

It must be the Nine Heavens Dragon Elephant Art.

He walked up to the ancient book, and without a second glance, stashed it into his arms.

Whatever purpose this ancient scroll served was not his concern right now.

He simply wanted to grab as many treasures as possible.

With the Nine Heavens Dragon Elephant Art secured in his arms, Xu Fan didn't pause but immediately ran back out.

As he exited the room, he noticed that the starlight above had dimmed significantly.

This served as a direct reminder to Xu Fan that he needed to move even faster!

He quickly filtered out objects that appeared ordinary and soon locked onto a target.

In another sprint, Xu Fan reached his destination quickly.

"Hope it works once we're out."

Standing at the door, Xu Fan took a deep breath and pushed it open.

What he was looking for this time was a scroll.

The Mo Family's Treasure Record!

Xu Fan had heard of the Mo Family before, known for specializing in Mechanical Techniques.

He surmised that the Mo Family's Treasure Record likely contained the methods for crafting these Mechanical Warriors.

It might even delve into more advanced Mechanical Techniques.

Although this wouldn't directly enhance his strength, having it wouldn't be less valuable than a Martial Arts Secret Manual!

"Hmm?"

Breaking into the room, Xu Fan searched for a while but couldn't find the Mo Family's Treasure Record.

He couldn't help but feel puzzled, thinking perhaps Igarashi had already searched this room?

"No, that's not right..."

Before he arrived, the room's door was tightly sealed, clearly suggesting no one else had scavenged it. Xu Fan shook his head, not bothering to ponder more, and activated the golden glow of his right eye!

Instantly, everything in the room turned transparent in Xu Fan's vision.

Before long, he discovered the room's hidden treasure spot.

"Looks like it really is a treasure, hidden so securely..."

Approaching the wall, Xu Fan punched it hard!

With a punch, he created a hole, revealing the Mo Family's Treasure Record hidden inside.

The Mo Family's Treasure Record was not a scroll as Xu Fan had imagined but a small cube.

Unsure how to use it, Xu Fan pocketed it without delay.

"Next one!"

Securing the item, Xu Fan exhaled and prepared to search for the next treasure.

But no sooner had he exited the room than the entire surroundings suddenly shook!

Rumble!

The violent tremor nearly caused Xu Fan to lose his footing.

Regaining his balance, he looked upwards.

Cracks erupted across the ceiling as countless boulders came crashing down like rain!

The gems embedded in the ceiling also dropped one by one!

"Why is it collapsing so fast?"

Xu Fan frowned, muttering in frustration.

He had thought there was still plenty of time.

The speed at which the Underground Palace Tomb was collapsing was beyond his expectations.

"Why is it collapsing already?"

Evidently alarmed by the commotion, Igarashi approached and asked.

He too felt it was happening too quickly.

"Hang on."

Without hastily explaining to Igarashi, Xu Fan gestured for silence and listened intently.

Amidst the sound of boulders crashing down, Xu Fan soon detected the underlying clue.

The persistent pounding in his eardrums suggested someone was forcibly breaking through the gate of the Underground Palace Tomb.

"Damn, it must be those guys."

Listening, Xu Fan couldn't help but curse.

"Those guys?"

Igarashi clearly hadn't understood Xu Fan's meaning and looked at him in confusion, hoping for an explanation.

"I don't have time to explain now; I'll tell you once we're out."

Forcing open the gate of the Underground Palace Tomb was something Ancient Cultivators couldn't achieve.

Only members of the Heavenly Witch Sect would do such a thing.

Considering they could even force open the gate of the Underground Palace Tomb, how much had the Heavenly Witch Sect invested in this operation?

Now it was clear they had succeeded in breaking open the gate, and it wouldn't be long before they reached the palace.

In his and Igarashi's not fully healed state, it was hard to say who could defeat whom then.

Seriously looking at Igarashi, Xu Fan asked, "Apart from that main gate, is there another exit from this Underground Palace Tomb?"

When Igarashi entered the tomb, he had his subordinates close the main gate, clearly indicating there should be another exit.

Nodding at Xu Fan's question, Igarashi replied, "Yes, follow me."

After greeting Xu Fan, Igarashi began to lead the way.

The two sprinted back swiftly, soon returning to the main hall of the Underground Palace Tomb.

At this point, Xu Fan stopped directly at the doorway.

"Are you sure?"

It wasn't that he doubted Igarashi, just that someone he couldn't mess with was in the main hall now.

He had no idea whether Akiyama Tsuki had completely turned into a corpse.

Stepping into that hall could mean death for both of them.

"The exit is in here, I'm sure of it."

As he hesitated on what to do next, Igarashi confirmed with certainty.

Meanwhile, a commotion sounded from above the sky.

Looking up, Xu Fan saw the Heavenly Witch Sect members who had breached the Underground Palace Gate.

It wouldn't be long before they landed.

Gritting his teeth, Xu Fan stepped directly into the main hall!
