Chapter 459: Treasure Hunting in the Underground Palace

(2)

However, after their spiritual senses were suppressed, the range that their spiritual senses could spread was very small, and their visibility became lower.

Compared to others, Xiao Shi was unaffected. When he was in the Qi Martial Realm, he cultivated the lunar technique. This pitch-black environment was like a fish returning to the water. He walked behind and paid close attention to the actions of the old man in front of him.

The entire underground palace was very quiet. Only the sound of their footsteps could be heard. After everyone moved forward for a distance, they entered a stone room in the underground palace.

In the entire open stone room, there was a huge stone box more than two meters tall. The stone box was tightly shut. Under the circumstances that his spiritual sense could not penetrate, no one knew what was in the stone box.

When the old man walked to the stone box, he stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Xiang Zizhen. He asked him with his eyes if he wanted to open the box.

Xiang Zizhen frowned slightly. Usually, in such a situation, the box was either a treasure or some kind of danger. He thought for a while and said, “Back off, all of you.”

When everyone retreated outside the stone room, Xiang Zizhen flicked his finger and shot a white light at the stone box, pushing open the lid. A smell that had been sealed for a long time instantly spread out. Everyone was on guard to prevent any danger from appearing in the stone box.

Fortunately, after the stone box was opened, there was nothing unusual. Xiang Zizhen walked to the stone box and looked inside. He realized that there were all kinds of treasures in the stone box.

However, with his caution and prudence, he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he used his own strength to make all the treasures in the stone box float up. After confirming that there were no problems, Xiang Zizhen turned around and looked at everyone. “Divide it among yourselves.”

He was not interested in the treasures in the stone box at all. The jailers were overjoyed. They all went forward to divide the treasures.

Xiao Shi also successfully obtained a treasure. It was a pendant, a Martial Soul Realm treasure. It had the effect of blocking and weakening the soul attack. It was a protective treasure. It was clearly incomparable to the treasures that Xiao Shi had dropped through killing. It could only be considered the most ordinary Martial Soul Realm treasure.

The treasures distributed by the others were basically at this level. It was no wonder that Xiang Zizhen did not like it.

After dividing the treasures in the box, they checked the stone room for a while more. After confirming that there were no other gains, they left the stone room and continued to advance into the depths of the underground palace.

After they moved forward for a while, a corpse suddenly appeared in front of him! It was a headless corpse with only its body left. Although the corpse had been dead for a long time from the degree of decomposition, everyone was still on high alert the moment they saw this corpse.

Xiang Zizhen approached the corpse with a solemn expression. He examined it carefully. There were no signs of a fight around the corpse. However, the corpse’s neck seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. The incision was flat.

Xiang Zizhen looked up at the old prisoner. There was a questioning look in his eyes. But the old man shook his head. It meant that he didn’t know anything.

Xiang Zizhen’s gaze instantly became as sharp as a knife. An incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body and swept towards the old prisoner. He was very dissatisfied with the old prisoner’s attitude.

The old prisoner only looked at Xiang Zizhen calmly. Even though his body was already emitting an ear-piercing sound of bones breaking under the pressure of Xiang Zizhen’s aura, blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, his gaze was still calm without any ripples.

Xiang Zizhen looked deeply at the old prisoner. Only then did he retract his aura pressure. Xiao Shi frowned at this scene. Until now, this old prisoner had not said a word. This made him feel that something was wrong. What was even more wrong was Xiang Zizhen.

With Xiao Shi’s understanding of Xiang Zizhen, it was impossible for him not to see the problem. But now, Xiang Zizhen chose to believe this old prisoner.

“Oris it…? What other plans does Xiang Zizhen have?’ Xiao Shi knew that with Xiang Zizhen’s shrewdness, he was not so easy to deceive. It was very likely that he was planning something else. From Xiang Zizhen’s current soul fluctuation, his soul was as stable as usual. This was a posture of victory. “Perhaps 1 can observe the soul state of this old man and see if there are any fluctuations in his soul.”

As this thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Shi immediately silently condensed a soul seal on the old man’s soul. Through the observation of this soul state, he could grasp their true feelings and deduce their thoughts to obtain important information.

However, this time, Xiao Shi’s soul seal condensation failed!

“This is…” Xiao Shi’s heart trembled. He could not find his soul in the old man!! He had never encountered such a situation so far. “He… he doesn’t have a soul? No. That’s not right! It’s not that he doesn’t have a soul, but that his soul is also imprisoned!”

Xiao Shi discovered a “prison” in the old man’s body. As a result, his soul seal could only stay outside the prison. It was unable to infiltrate the prison. This made his heart tremble violently.

The origin of this old man was even more shocking than he had imagined. The other party’s imprisonment and seal were not just the handcuffs and shackles on the outside. The real imprisonment was in his body.

Only those experts with great backgrounds would have such layers of imprisonment and seals. No wonder when he killed someone in the cell, the other party did not even look at it. Presumably, to the old man, his killing was like a child playing house. It was not worth his attention at all.

Xiao Shi originally thought that this old man was only at the relatively powerful Martial Soul Realm of the spiritual sense stage. Now, after sensing the imprisonment and seal in the other party’s body, he realizes that the cultivation that the other party revealed was not his true cultivation.

After understanding this, Xiao Shi also began to feel the treasure hunt in the underground palace this time was not as simple as he had imagined. There must be a lot of information that he did not know.

“From the beginning to the end, Xiang Zizhen never told us what was in this underground palace. He only said that there’s a treasure here. However, those treasures from before were not worthy of Xiang Zizhen’s attention at all. It’s impossible for Xiang Zizhen to personally come for a treasure of this level. What exactly is he plotting, then?”

Xiao Shi was more worried that Xiang Zizhen would use them as cannon fodder. From the current deduction, there was most likely danger in this underground palace. Xiao Shi felt that the reason Xiang Zizhen had brought them here to become the shield was definitely more important than bringing them here to make a fortune.

In the eyes of these jailers, Xiang Zizhen’s reputation was not bad. He was a warden himself, so he would definitely not sell them.

However, Xiao Shi knew Xiang Zizhen’s true background. As a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect and a priest of the Holy See, he would not feel any psychological burden even if he used these jailers as cannon fodder. After all, both sides were enemies. If Qin Mo had been killed by Xiang Zizhen back then, he would have been even more proficient in doing such things.

Only then did Xiao Shi realize that the treasure hunt in the underground palace this time was far from as simple as it seemed. He was secretly vigilant. Even though he was only a clone now and his death would not cause any damage to the main body, his clone was carrying many items that had dropped previously.

If these items did not create the value they deserved before they were gone, that would be a huge loss! Most importantly, it was rare for him to use this identity to approach Xiang Zizhen. If he died just like that, there might not be such a chance to get close to Xiang Zizhen.

“At this point, 1 can only take it one step at a time and counter every move.” Xiao Shi’s expression was normal. In fact, he had already maximized his perception and was highly focused, as if he was facing a great enemy..
