After going through the passage, his field of vision suddenly brightened.
In front of him was a vast world with blue skies and white clouds, a continuous mountain range, and a palace floating in mid-air.
“That must be it!”
Everyone’s gaze was attracted to that palace the moment they entered.
They could also see countless people flying toward that palace.
Tang Hao followed the crowd and also flew toward the palace. Along the way, he looked down and saw that the ground was covered in ruins. There were many buildings on the ground, but they were all completely destroyed.
After examining the ruins, Tang Hao thought that there was something weird about it, but he could not tell exactly what.
He arrived near the entrance of the palace. When he saw the destroyed pillars in front of the palace, he suddenly came to a realization. The weird thing about the place was that it did not have any markings at all.
He remembered that the entrance of the Abode of Myriad Beasts was engraved with all kinds of exotic beasts. The pagoda inside was also engraved with similar patterns everywhere.
The ruins of Stormcloud Island were also filled with the emblems of the ancient Stormcloud Sect.
Here, there were no distinguishing signs at all.
The places that might bear those signs were destroyed as though someone had deliberately done so.
Tang Hao stood in front of the palace and looked around. His unease grew stronger.
He took a closer look and found that the marks of destruction were fresh.
Could it be… that it was not King Xue’s tomb?
Tang Hao’s expression became grim. If it was not King Xue’s tomb, it meant that someone had taken the trouble to hide the signs and pretend that place was King Xue’s tomb. Someone must be planning something.
He did not know if they were setting a trap for him!
Tang Hao became nervous.
He had made too many enemies. It was not surprising if the major factions had set up such a trap for him.
“Never mind. I’d better play it safe and leave!”
Tang Hao made up his mind very quickly.
However, everyone was heading toward the palace. It would be very jarring if he was the only one who was leaving the place.
If the place was a trap for him, he would definitely be discovered.
However, if he did not leave, he would at the mercy of others after the entrance was sealed.
While thinking of a plan, he entered the palace along with the crowd. He glanced around, and his gaze eventually fell on a burly man.
The burly man noticed that Tang Hao was staring at him and shouted fiercely, “What are you looking at, you brat?”
Tang Hao’s eyes sparkled, and he immediately replied, “What about it?”
“Heh! You’ve got guts, brat! You can try taking another look!”
“I’ll do just that!” Tang Hao’s eyes widened.
“Heh, how gutsy! Let me take a look at how much guts you have!”
The burly man laughed fiercely, glared at Tang Hao, and slapped at him.
Tang Hao also slapped at the burly man.
Bang! Tang Hao screamed in agony, spat out blood, and flew backward.
The burly man was stunned.
‘F*ck! He’s spewing blood!’
Other people would spit out a mouthful of blood, but that kid was spewing out blood like a fountain. The amount of blood was quite exaggerated!
The surrounding people who were watching the fight were also stunned.
Tang Hao landed heavily on the ground after flying about five meters. He clutched his chest and spat out blood again as though he was on the verge of death.
“Just you wait!”
Tang Hao struggled to get to his feet and said fiercely. Then, he supported himself against the wall and stumbled away.
The burly man was stunned. He looked at his hand and wondered, “Am I that powerful?
“Haha! That kid must be too weak! Why would he act so arrogantly if he’s so weak? He’s not going to make it!” He laughed mockingly before continuing his way in.
After exiting the palace, Tang Hao spat out another mouthful of blood.
“Hiss! That guy is seriously injured!”
“Is there a fight going on inside?”
The people who were heading toward the palace saw that and were shocked.
Tang Hao flew up and headed toward the exit.
Many people were hiding near the exit, secretly observing the people. They instantly noticed the person that was leaving. After all, the passage had just opened not long ago, and that figure was the first one to leave.
They thought that they would not be detected, but they remained vigilant and prepared to intercept him.
However, they gasped after taking a closer look at that guy.
That guy was covered in blood and was stumbling around. He was obviously heavily injured. No wonder he wanted to go out!
They secretly observed him for a while and did not suspect anything. They allowed that person to pass through the passage.
After returning to the cave, Tang Hao continued to stumble out.
There were also people secretly observing among the crowd. They also saw Tang Hao, but they did not suspect anything.
Tang Hao was secretly shocked when he noticed those people. It was indeed a trap.
King Xue’s tomb? There was no such thing!
He did not panic and maintained his act as he moved outward.
No one stopped him when he was back in the valley.
He let out a sigh of relief and sped up.
At that moment, many figures stood on the mountain peak nearby. All of them had awe-inspiring qi auras. They were none other than the leaders of the various ancient great sects and conferred families.
They stood tall and straight, and their might was unfathomable. Their oppressive qi auras seemed to even freeze the air around them.
They cast their sharp gazes upon the valley.
They naturally saw the figure who appeared there.
“What’s going on?” A person muttered.
He was dressed in a fire phoenix robe. His eyes were like flames, and his divine light was resplendent. He was the patriarch of the Feng family.
“I don’t know. Let me take a closer look!”
At that moment, an old man narrowed his gaze. After taking a closer look, he chuckled and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. Someone got himself injured!”
That person was dressed in a yin-yang treasure robe and looked like an immortal. What was strange was that his eyes also had the yin and yang symbols that kept rotating.
That was the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect!
The other sect leaders took a closer look, shook their heads, and chuckled.
They did not pay too much attention to him. After all, the passage had just opened and the bait had just been dropped. That Qin guy would not realize it so quickly.
They had spent a lot of effort and time preparing the trap. It was impossible that Tang Hao could spot it.
Furthermore, that person’s movements were not suspicious at all. It was normal for someone to leave the place after being injured.
The leader of the Great Allheaven Sect did not pay much attention at first. However, after staring at that figure for a while, he had a bad premonition.
“No, let’s be more cautious. We should check on him!” He muttered.
When the other leaders heard that, they could not help but laugh.
“What’s there to check? Is that kid so powerful?”
“That’s right. I don’t believe that kid could have noticed the trap so quickly!”
They all laughed and did not take it to heart.
The eyes of the leader of the Great Allheaven Sect narrowed. When he opened them again, they emitted a resplendent divine light that fired at the figure in the distance.
“Ah!” He exclaimed after looking clearly. He was flustered and exasperated when he said, “Dammit, it’s that kid!”
In an instant, the laughter came to an abrupt stop.. The expressions of the sect leaders froze.
