On the fifth floor of the Xutian Inner Palace, Manbeard and Jiyin Patriarch and their group broke through the puppet guards on the first four floors and arrived here not long ago.
In front of them was the Hanli Terrace where the Xutian Cauldron was located. Wan Tianming and other righteous monks had already entered first. However, because the formation covering the Hanli Terrace was the ancient strange formation Tiangang Cover, there was only a small opening specially opened for entry and exit.
Therefore, Manbeard and the others were not afraid of Wan Tianming and the others sneaking away after getting the treasure, so they sat cross-legged and meditated near the steps leading to the exit of the Tiangang Cover, so as to recover the mana spent in breaking through the level for a possible treasure hunt later.
Since Han Li had never taken action in the inner hall, he was full of magic power at this time and had no need to meditate. In addition, he was restless inside, so he wandered around on the fifth floor of the inner hall.
The fifth floor of the inner hall is completely different from the first four floors. There is no maze. Instead, except for the Hanli Terrace in the center, it is a flat structure. Only the relief sculptures of strange animals on the outer wall are interesting.
The closer he gets to Xutian Cauldron, the more Yuanying old monsters such as Jiyin Patriarch treat him as a prisoner, as if he is an artifact.
This made Han Li's trace of luck due to the generous gifts of treasures from the three old monsters disappear in an instant. At this moment, he clearly realized that once he had no use value, there would be no possibility of survival!
However, all the floors and walls of Xutian Palace were covered with profound restrictions. It was not like a palace, but more like a cage, leaving Han Li no chance to escape.
Feeling depressed and irritated, Han Li smashed the relief of the alien beasts and discovered a hidden compartment.
He had just carefully taken out the scroll hidden in the secret compartment, when suddenly the entire Xutian inner palace shook, and loud bangs echoed non-stop.
"Han Li, come here quickly!"
Patriarch Jiyin's frightened and angry voice came out.
Han Li knew that the movement just now had irritated Ji Yin and the others. He did not dare to offend these people and walked quickly towards Hanli Terrace.
As soon as he walked in, Han Li noticed that the three old demons were all looking at the entrance of the Tiangang Cover with gloomy expressions. Even the Xuan Gu old demon looked shocked.
"Brother Man, with the huge movement just now, could it be that Wan Tianming and the others took out the Xutian Cauldron?"
Ji Yin couldn't believe the truth. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to shake the Xutian Cauldron with Wan Tianming's golden silkworms, and it would be absolutely impossible to take the cauldron.
No matter what Ji Yin thought, the only thing that could make the entire giant tower in the inner hall shake was the Xutian Cauldron's abnormal movement.
"It's useless to talk more. Let's go in quickly. We must not let the Heaven-Building Pill and Xutian Cauldron fall into the hands of the right way!"
Golden scales the size of copper coins appeared on the bearded man's face, and he jumped up and headed straight for the entrance of the Tiangang Cover.
Ji Yin and others followed closely behind. The air inside the Tiangang Cover was freezing. Yuanying monks were okay. Han Li and other pill-forming monks had to use cold protection measures to move safely inside the cover.
After entering the Tiangang Cover, Han Li tried several times to quietly retreat behind everyone to check the scroll he had just obtained, but Wu Chou stared at him tightly, giving him no chance.
Not long after walking forward, Han Li's eyes suddenly opened up. Not far away, he saw a large hole spitting out blue light. The large hole was surrounded by seven or eight golden light groups, which he thought were the golden silkworms in the mouth of the extreme Yin.
Wan Tianming and the others were standing next to these golden silkworms, but their faces did not show the ecstasy that Ji Yin and others had expected after finding the treasure, but looked furious, almost jumping to the point of jumping.
As soon as he saw the demonic people coming here, Wan Tianming immediately became furious and said:
"Barbarian Beard! What tricks did you do outside, which actually caused the failure of my sect master's treasure-hunting efforts!"
It turned out that Wan Tianming had just commanded the golden silkworm that had taken the azure flower to spit out the silk and lifted the Xutian Cauldron a little, and then there was a sound of shaking the mountain, causing the silk spun out by his golden silkworm to break due to the huge force.
, the Xutian Cauldron fell back again.
The efficacy of Tianqinghua is not long-lasting. If it fails once, Wan Tianming's plan to use golden silkworms to obtain the treasure will be in vain.
"Haha, Man thought that Sect Leader Wan was hiding some tricks, but it turned out that it was over before it even started."
Barbarian Beard laughed heartily. He had just worried in vain.
Patriarch Jiyin and layman Qingyi also had expressions of gloating and relief on their faces. Unless they were forced to do so, they did not want to have a fight with Wan Tianming and the others in the inner hall.
Seeing the three old demons laughing like this, Wan Tianming's face suddenly became extremely cold, and he stared at Ji Yin and Qing Yi layman with murderous intent in his eyes.
The smiles of Patriarch Jiyin and Master Qingyi suddenly froze. Wan Tianming was an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanying. They were only in the early stage of Yuanying, so they did not want to form a deep hatred with them.
Immediately, Patriarch Jiyin coughed and said:
"Sect Master Wan, we have just arrived at the fifth floor of the inner palace not long ago, and we have also followed the agreement and asked you to collect the treasure first. If not for the sudden movement, we would still be meditating outside the Tiangang Cover at this moment!"
"You mean that the movement just now has nothing to do with you? Do you think this sect leader will believe it? In the inner hall, apart from us righteous monks, you are the only demons, and you still want to shirk it!"
The chill on Wan Tianming's face did not diminish, and he did not show any sign of giving up due to the extremely sinister explanation. Instead, he put on a posture of ready to take action at any time and shouted:
"Han Jiao!"
Tian Wuzi, who was standing next to Wan Tianming, saw this and shouted: "Li Gui!"
A dragon and a turtle came out in response, floating next to the two of them with fierce eyes.
The three old demons obviously recognized these two spiritual beasts. Even Man Beard, who had always relied on his own cultivation and glared at Wan Tianming, changed his color and said in a deep voice:
"Hmph! Sect Master Wan is such a noble man who forgets things so much. There is still a group of people in the inner palace who haven't shown up yet!"
"Just those two Dan-forming juniors want to shock the inner palace?!"
Wan Tianming was still skeptical, but he couldn't help but speculate in his heart.
After all, one of those two people is a descendant of the old demon Sanyang, and the other is related to the number one person in the demonic path, the Supreme Saint of the Six Paths. They cannot be compared with ordinary monks in the alchemy stage.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, what happened just now has nothing to do with us. Sect Master Wan, you have failed to retrieve the treasure. According to the agreement, it is our turn to retrieve the treasure. Are you still here because you want to learn Man's demonic power?
!”
Barbarian Beard can be so arrogant because of his strong strength. As soon as he became serious, Wan Tianming suddenly regained some sense. After his eyes flashed for a few times, he immediately put away the spirit beast and snorted coldly, and turned to Tiangang Cover with a stinking face.
Go to the entrance.
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators who were traveling with him looked at each other and followed him without saying anything.
Ji Yin and others were a little surprised to see that the hypocrites actually wanted to behave like gentlemen this time, but they did not relax their vigilance because of this, and sent Tiandu Corpse and Blue Thorn Bird to guard the entrance.
After the arrangement was completed, everyone's eyes turned to Han Li.
