After a flash of white light, Lu Li found himself in a brightly lit hall. The hall was empty. Apart from simple furniture, there was nothing else.
But there were some stone pillars with patterns, flowers, birds, fishes, and insects.
The group wandered around in the hall, looking for treasures. There might be treasures in the hall.
Lu Li did not go looking for them. He just recorded the patterns and sent them to Blood Fairy.
Those were divine patterns. Blood Fairy could study them, which would make it easier for her to decipher them.
The group wandered around the hall but found nothing. There was no treasure in the hall, but there were many exits. Four exits led to four corridors.
The four corridors were deep. Lu Li could not tell where they were going.
Naturally, the group could not split up. They randomly picked a corridor and walked forward.
Lu Li walked at the back, keeping a low profile. He said nothing and observed the surroundings calmly.
The corridor was long. They had been walking for the time for two incense sticks to burn, but they still had not reached the end.
All of a sudden, the group stopped. Lu Li used psychic power to check. Lu Hai, who was at the front, was staring at the ground with a frown.
"Divine patterns!"
Lu Li's expression grew solemn. The runes here were not average ones. The ones outside were hard to crack even for Lord Realm warriors.
If the divine patterns here were the same as the ones outside, then it would be more difficult for them to crack them.
"Patriarch Lu, please come and take a look!"
Yin Tianfan knew that Lu Hai was in trouble since he did not say anything. He asked Lu Li to take action.
They made way for him. Lu Li walked over. He saw many Divine Inscriptions blocking the way forward.
There were too many divine patterns here. The space in front of them was filled with them. They could fly over, but who dared to do so?
With so many divine patterns, they could be blasted to death.
Lu Li pretended to observe while Blood Fairy sneaked into the ground to check.
The moment Blood Fairy took action, Lu Hai raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li. Lu Hai had found Blood Fairy.
Lu Li nodded in an enigmatic manner. Lu Hai did not pay much attention. He thought this was one of Lu Li's tricks to detect divine patterns.
Blood Fairy had been checking for a long time. Lu Li pretended to watch.
Since Lu Li and Lu Hai said nothing, the others did not dare to move. Yin Tianfan sent two warriors to other corridors to investigate.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li and Lu Hai did not move. The two people sent out had returned.
The two of them went to the other three passageways to investigate for a while, and discovered that all the other passageways had divine patterns, which were exactly the same as this one.
"Just you wait!"
Yin Tianfan waved his hand. If Lu Li and Lu Hai could not decipher the runes, then they would have to die in the hall.
Some of them were on guard, while the others sat cross-legged and rested.
After more than two hours, Blood Fairy finally replied, "Master, the divine inscriptions here are very profound. I can decipher them, but I need time. At least three to five days."
"Good!" Lu Li nodded. He turned to Lu Hai and asked, "Young Master Lu, did you find anything?"
"I can see some!"
Lu Hai sighed, frowning. "But the divine inscriptions here are too profound, and they are ancient ones. It is difficult to decipher them. Even if we can, it will take months."
"Months?"
Yin Tianfan and the others were relieved to hear this. For them, a few months was a short time. They would be happy as long as they could decipher the runes.
Lu Hai came to his senses and asked, "Patriarch Lu, do you have a plan?"
"I am still looking. The divine inscriptions here are complicated!"
Lu Li answered ambiguously. Lu Hai said nothing else and went back to studying the divine inscriptions. Lu Li was bored. He sat on the ground, looking at the divine inscriptions, thinking.
Lu Hai took out some strange things and continued to study the divine inscriptions. The others watched for a while and then stopped, waiting for Lu Hai to decipher the divine inscriptions.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
A day later, a young master came from the distance. He came to Yin Tianfan and said, "Cang Long and the others are here, but they have gone to another passageway."
A glint of coldness rose in Yin Tianfan's eyes. He suppressed his killing intent and said after some thoughts, "Keep a close eye on that passageway. Send a signal at once if anything happens."
The Cang Family had gone to another passageway. Clearly, they didn't want to fight.
Yin Tianfan didn't want to fight to the death either. They had gained nothing since they came in. It would be a waste to fight now.
Four or five people went out to monitor the passageway. Cang Long's passageway was monitored as well. Both sides restrained themselves and no conflict arose.
Soon, three or four days passed by in peace. The Cang Family might be working on the formations as well, so they didn't come to disturb them.
Lu Hai had been thinking with a frown. He took out a sand table with many circles drawn on it. He must be trying to find a way to crack the divine inscriptions.
Lu Li had been cultivating with his eyes closed. Since he was looking at the divine inscriptions, others thought he was using psychic power to find a way to crack the formations.
As for Blood Fairy, Lu Hai was not the only one who sensed it. Yin Tianfan and the others felt it as well.
But a soul was moving in and out of the divine inscriptions. They all thought Lu Li was trying to find the divine inscriptions.
"Buzzing ~"
On the fifth day, the divine inscriptions suddenly glowed, which startled everyone.
Lu Li opened his eyes as well. Surges of divine energy glowed in his hands as he poured them out. It seemed that he was trying to crack the formation.
"Eh …"
Lu Hai was surprised. Lu Li's method of cracking the formation seemed to be quite mysterious.
To put it more precisely … it didn't look like he was cracking the formations, but messing around.
"Buzzing ~"
As Lu Li was "messing around", the divine inscriptions were glowing brighter and brighter. Lu Hai stood up and stepped back. He said with concern, "Patriarch Lu, don't do anything rash. If the divine inscriptions backfire, it will be disastrous."
The others were frightened by the horrifying energy coming from the divine inscriptions. Yin Ruolan said, "Lu Li, don't be hasty. Lu Hai can crack the divine inscriptions. It will be okay to wait for a few more months."
Lu Li said nothing. He kept on pouring out divine energy. As a matter of fact, he was just pretending. It was Blood Fairy who was actually cracking the formations.
None of Lu Li's divine energy hit the divine inscriptions. He was just putting on a show to make others think that he was the one cracking the formations.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the divine inscriptions glowed brightly. A more horrifying energy spread out. The killing intent spread out. Everyone stepped back as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Yin Ruolan was worried. If Lu Li were to die in there, how could she explain to Yin Qingsi?
"Buzzing ~"
The divine inscriptions glowed for a while and then dimmed down as if a fire was put out.
Lu Li stopped pouring out divine energy. He turned around and grinned. "Let's go. The inscriptions here are cracked."
