C161 Tiger Hill Mountain

Murong Ke nodded in his heart. What a good foundation in martial arts. Unfortunately, the leopard face man's inner energy did not match his speed. No matter how powerful the moves of any martial arts were, without sufficient inner energy, it would only be a piece of cake in front of the Fang family.

Murong Ke did not use many of his techniques. However, the timing was very accurate. As soon as he drew his long blade, the blade had already met more than ten different changes of the leopard-faced man. Murong Ke's blade technique did not have many changes, but with his strong inner energy as support, every move of Murong Ke had endless power.

After the two of them exchanged seventeen or eighteen moves, the leopard-faced man gradually showed signs of retreating. He fought while retreating, trying his best to use his moves to neutralize Murong Ke's fierce attacks. However, it was all in vain. After exchanging another seven or eight moves, the leopard-faced man was completely exhausted.

It was already not easy to fight Murong Ke to such an extent. One should know that there were very few people in the world who could defeat Murong Ke. It could basically be considered as nothing.

The leopard-faced man couldn't withstand a single strike from Murong Ke. Murong Ke seized the opportunity and smashed the back of the saber into his chest. He spat out blood on the spot and fell to the ground.

Everyone cheered for Murong Ke's bravery. Murong Ke could not help but feel proud of himself. After all, he did not have many opportunities to show his face in front of the martial artists. If he could make use of this opportunity to show his face in front of the martial artists, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

Without waiting for Murong Ke's question, the leopard-faced man had already stabbed his own chest. Everyone was stunned. Murong Ke's joyful expression instantly froze on his face. Why was this happening? Could it be that Elder Xiao was really worth these people working so hard for him?

Murong Ke sighed, "Why is there a need for this? If you are willing to switch sides. . . Your life will naturally be spared. " The man with the leopard face spat out blood. "Since we cannot defend this door, then. . . The leopard-faced man said: If I can't protect this door, then what face do I have to live on?" After saying this, He died on the spot. Seeing the leopard-faced man commit suicide, the followers also put their swords on their necks. They turned their heads and died on the spot. This kind of thing couldn't help but give people a thumbs up in their hearts. They secretly praised him for his bravery.

But no, these people died for the devil religion. Since they were people of the devil religion, they weren't worthy of praise. Even if what they did was something that no righteous person could do, they couldn't be praised.

Murong Ke took a deep breath. He could finally confirm that this place must be where Elder Xiao was hiding, and the core of the devil religion must be here as well. Nalan Kang didn't lie to him. Everything had been arranged in advance.

Everyone seemed to have understood this principle, but the problem now was how to open this stone door. This stone door seemed to weigh a few thousand jin, and the two doors were tightly sealed. If one relied solely on manpower to open it, there was nothing they could do.

Elder Xiao and the Devil Cult members also couldn't use their strength to push open this door. Murong Ke's eyes kept scanning the surroundings, and he found that there was something strange about the glass lamps on both sides. This kind of glass lamp was very common in such an underground palace, so why did it feel strange?

Murong Ke walked over with his senses. He touched the top of the glass cup with his left hand and held the bottom of the glass cup with his right hand. He raised the glass cup slightly and found that he could not lift it. He exerted strength on his left and right again, wanting to twist it up.

The glass cup was indeed twisted. It was built according to the mechanism of the underground palace. Even the mechanism was almost the same. After the glass cup turned, the stone door actually didn't move. At this time, a burst of shouting came from all directions.

Over a hundred long arrows were shot from all directions. Over a hundred people died under these arrows on the spot, and over a hundred people were injured. This mechanism was actually the switch to activate these hidden weapons.

Murong Ke's face was slightly red. He did not expect things to turn out like this. Even his self-proclaimed brilliant brain was a little confused for a moment. He quickly called everyone to take care of the injured fellow martial artists.

On the other side, Zuo Xiping also sighed. "This matter can't be blamed on Alliance Master. The people of the Devil Cult are too cunning. We can't guard against them. I don't think it's appropriate for us to fight our way in today. We might as well. . . "

"No!" Murong Ke said firmly. "We have already come this far. If we don't take another step forward, won't we be letting down our brothers who have died?"

Zuo Xiping did not expect Murong Ke to be so tough. He could only sigh. "Fine. But the most important thing right now is to open this door. There is a mechanism in front of this door. It's hard to guarantee that there is no mechanism behind this door. There are many things that can't be determined. "

He also understood what he meant. Things had come to this point. He had no idea whether he should continue or not. Murong Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at Zuo Xiping. He said indifferently, "Then if there are traps behind us, will Mr. Zuo be afraid of moving forward? How long did it take for us to plan today's matter? How much manpower and resources did we spend? If we give up now, we may never have the chance to attack again"

Everyone was silent. They knew that what Murong Ke said was right. However, the current problem was that there were too many unknown dangers that they couldn't defend against.

Zuo Xiping blushed for a moment. He didn't answer Murong Ke's question. Instead, he paced back and forth in front of the stone door. The structure of the stone door was very delicate. There was almost no gap between the two doors. In other words, the stone door was sealed!

Zuo Xiping's facial expression changed dramatically. If this place was sealed, then if there was no other way out, wouldn't the people inside die from suffocation? Therefore, this stone door was definitely not the only way to enter the stone room. Or, it could be said that this stone door was not a passage at all, it was just a trick to confuse everyone.

After Zuo Xiping explained his thoughts to everyone, everyone suddenly came to a realization. It seemed like the leopard face man had appeared here to make them think of a way to open this door and fall into their trap.

The leopard-faced man could use his own life as bait, which was truly admirable. However, it was still the same old saying. There was no good thing in the Devil Cult, and this leopard-faced man was definitely not a good person.

Murong Ke led the group around looking for a way out. At this time, someone found some clues on a stone wall. The sound of the stone wall hitting was the sound of an empty drum. In other words, the back of the stone wall was empty.

Murong Ke did not hesitate to smash the stone wall of the empty drum with his palm. A long path suddenly appeared in front of him. This path was headed towards the secret chamber. Murong Ke believed that they must have found the right path this time.

Surrounded by a group of people, the vanguard unit had already walked in. Following behind them were the various sect heads led by Murong Ke. The path was longer, but it had a flaw. It was narrow, and the further one went, the narrower it became. Originally, the entrance could pass through two people side by side, but later on, it could only pass through an adult man.

After an hour, everyone entered the small path one after another. The first group had already left the small path. In front of them, there was an open space. It was a palatial building complex. These palaces were shrouded in smoke and fog. Under the illumination of the lights, they looked colorful and had a bit of immortal Qi.

Murong Ke couldn't help but nod his head when he saw these palaces. "He really knows how to find a place. This place is right next to the mountains and waters, blessed by the heavens and the earth. It is truly a good place that is hard to come by. "

Zuo Xiping also nodded his head. "Yes, these palaces are all built according to the trend of the raw stones. The structure of these raw stones is very delicate, and coupled with the beautiful outline of the buildings, it is truly an amazing work of art!"

Many people were amazed. They lived in the Gusu. It was the first time they had seen such an amazing building complex. For a moment, they felt that all these years, they had lived in Gusu for nothing.

Murong Ke led all the sect masters to the entrance of the palace. The mottled roads were enough to show that this place had been built for a very, very long time. Elder Xiao had spent at least more than ten years to build this place beautifully.

Every step they took was extremely careful, because each step could be the location of the mechanism for their deaths. Murong Ke stared at the pitch-black palace in front of him. The gate of the palace was half-closed, and nothing could be seen except darkness from the outside.

The lights were shining on Murong Ke and the others' faces. Therefore, if they were inside the palace. . . If there was someone. . . These people would definitely be able to see Murong Ke and the others' actions clearly. Murong Ke was very calm. He would definitely not appear nervous in front of his opponent, even if this so-called opponent had never shown himself.

Before he left, he stopped in front of the palace gate. Anyone would stop in their tracks. He waved his hand and two armored soldiers rushed over from both sides. These people were all suicide squads. In this situation, only by letting them go in and explore first could they decide whether or not to bring a large group in.

A group of fifty to sixty people of the suicide squad rushed in one after another. Then, the torches in their hands, Murong Ke and the others could clearly see the internal structure of the palace, but after looking for a while, the torches in their hands disappeared as if they had been blown out.

Murong Ke frowned and ordered his men to go forward and shout. These fifty to sixty people did not move at all. There was no response. Murong Ke turned pale with fright, and everyone became nervous. They were here to challenge the devil religion, but now, there was no one in their nest. Not only that, the mechanism in their nest was also very powerful, and it was enough to make everyone shrink back.

One of the people who was scared said with a trembling voice, "I think it's weird. Why don't we go back and have a discussion?" Zuo Xiping had said this before entering this place, but it was rejected by Murong Ke.

This time was no exception, and there were even more people who opposed it, because they had already found the Devil Cult's main altar and entered this secret chamber. They might only have one chance to come here. Since they came, could it be that because the road ahead was a bit harder, they didn't want to go?

Murong Ke also had the same idea. He thought of something and ordered his men to take off all the wooden doors and windows in the front row of the palace with the knives in their hands. After some action, the lights outside could finally shine into the palace.

When everyone's eyes swept across the structure of the palace, they could not help but be shocked. The structure of the palace was actually inverted. The entire interior of the palace was formed by layers of stairs. There were all kinds of colorful drawings on the stairs. There were all kinds of cows, ghosts, gods, and even some kind and compassionate Bodhisattva.

Looking down, these stairs seemed to have no end in sight. However, one could imagine that if they continued to extend like this, there would definitely be an end. It was like an inverted pyramid, the tip of the pyramid was at the bottom.

Then the question was, where did the fifty to sixty members of the suicide squad go? It was huge, but it was clear at a glance, because there was nothing to hide other than a few pillars.

After a moment of hesitation, Murong Ke turned to look at Zuo Xiping, who had always been proficient in the Five Elements Eight Trigrams. Zuo Xiping's eyebrows had long since twisted into a knot. He had never imagined that there would be such a building in this world.

What was the purpose of building a house like this? Zuo Xiping could not figure it out. Even if he flipped through the history books, he could not find any predecessors who had done this before.

He did not wait for Zuo Xiping to speak. Someone had already quarreled. "Who cares? With so many of us rushing in, could this house eat us all?"

When Zuo Xiping heard this, he suddenly had an epiphany. He patted his forehead. "That's right! What this brother said makes sense. I finally thought of something. There was an alias for the construction of this palace, and that was the expansion room. In other words, The surface of this palace remained the same, but the internal structure could be altered. When those brothers went in just now, the interior must have been very smooth. "

"What about them now?" Someone asked involuntarily. Zuo Xiping continued, "But after they entered the house, there must have been some kind of change in the house. In other words, these changes. . . They had changed all these brothers. Perhaps they were inside this space, but due to some internal structures. . . We can't see each other at all"

Murong Ke nodded. "It seems like this palace is really mysterious and unpredictable! Then, does Mr. Zuo have any way to solve this problem?"

Zuo Xiping nodded. "I remember that Lu Ban once mentioned in his secret art that although this house is exquisite, the biggest loophole is that it cannot withstand light. As long as this house is exposed to the light, then its transformation will be clear at a glance. This way, all of its secrets will no longer be secrets "

Murong Ke heaved a sigh of relief. "In that case, it has already been exposed to the light. Does this mean that we can crack the mechanism inside?"

Zuo Xiping looked at the structure of the house hesitantly. He was not confident, but when he saw Murong Ke's eyes, he knew that even if he was not confident, he had to pretend to be confident. What he needed to do now was to cheer everyone up.
