"Boom!"
The two pieces of Holy Weapon bumped into each other, creating a shockwave in space. The entire hall was shaking violently.
The runes on the ground glowed. The cage built by Cang Yan trembled violently and was almost destroyed.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Many Wind Magical Beasts were sent tumbling through the air before slamming into the Divine Rune Cage. Tens of them were injured, and three of them were killed by the shockwaves.
That being said, the ray of light from the Wind Warcraft smashed away Cang Yan and the others. Apart from Cang He, everyone else was injured. If it were not for the fact that Cang Yan had set up a shield, all of them would have died.
"Fall back!"
Cang He saw that Lu Li was not seriously injured even though he was smashed away. Also, Lu Li had a piece of Holy Weapon. Cang He could not kill Lu Li in a short time.
When Yin Tianfan and the others came in, Cang He would be in big trouble.
Cang He left with the others and soon, they vanished into the corridor.
Lu Li put away the Relic and wiped the blood off his mouth. Luckily, he could use interspatial artifacts here or else he would be in big trouble.
Cang Long was not here either. If Cang Long and Yin Tianfan had worked together, Lu Li would have died. Not all the Wind Warcraft could have survived.
"Buzzing ~"
After the time for a few breaths, Lu Li saw a glow next to him. Yin Tianfan came in.
When he came in, he saw that the Wind Warcraft were lying all over the place in the dim hall. Three of them were dead. He hurried to look around and was relieved to see Lu Li.
"Are you okay?
Where are they? "
Yin Tianfan dashed to Lu Li. Lu Li forced a smile and said, "They are gone. Only a few of them ambushed us. I fended off one round of attacks and they left."
"That's good!" Yin Tianfan said with shame, "I should have come in first. I am sorry for putting you in danger."
"Let's not talk about this!"
Lu Li waved his hand. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and waited for Blood Fairy to decipher the runes.
After a while, Yin Chengrui came in. Lu Li put away the Wind Warcraft. More warriors were coming in. He was not afraid of Cang Long anymore.
"Buzzing ~"
Every few breaths, someone would come in. Everyone was shocked to see the dead bodies of the Wind Warcraft. It seemed that Lu Li was ambushed.
Yin Ruolan also came in after the time it took for an incense stick to burn. She heaved a deep sigh of relief after she saw that everyone was still alive. Her towering chest rose and fell slightly. She looked extremely alluring.
"Bang ~"
Lu Li sent a message to Yin Tianfan. Yin Tianfan took out a piece of Holy Weapon and smashed it several times. The cage was cracked. Blood Fairy was almost done. Naturally, Yin Tianfan's attack broke the cage.
Originally, there wasn't any light in the great hall. Earlier, it was because the Divine Imprint had released a trace of light. Now that the Divine Imprint had been broken, the great hall returned to its original pitch black state.
"Buzz ~"
Someone took out a luminous pearl, but this place seemed to be able to devour light, so even if there was a luminous pearl, the light was dim.
Of course, to the crowd, complete darkness was nothing. This bit of light was enough.
"Go!"
Yin Tianfan's battle intent soared. Cang He and the others were right in front of him. He really wanted to catch up to Cang He and kill them all.
This hall had two corridors, one on the left and one on the right. There were some decorations in the hall.
But Yin Tianfan didn't bother to look at them. Since Cang Long and the others were here, the treasures must have been taken away.
They walked along the corridor that Cang He and the others took. Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to scout ahead in case they were ambushed by Cang Long and the others.
Yin Tianfan didn't send anyone to check. He walked in the front by himself.
The corridor was long. They walked for a couple of miles before they came to a door. The door was open, and they could see light from outside.
Lu Li and the others used psychic power to check. Outside was a huge valley with five houses, one temple and four dark castles.
"Treasures!"
Everyone was excited. There must be treasures in the five halls. Maybe this was the core area of the Hall of Seven Tones.
The view here was breathtaking. Apart from the five halls, there were many pavilions, gardens, and lakes. Clearly, this place was decorated with care.
The most important thing was the temple in the middle. Anyone would be shocked at a glance, just like how mortals would feel when they saw a god. They would have the urge to kneel and worship the god.
Such a beautiful environment, such a sacred temple, and such exquisite decorations. It was highly possible that this was where the master of the Hall of Seven Tones resided. There must be treasures here.
"Let's go!"
Even though they didn't see anyone in there, Yin Tianfan and the others had no time to worry. They dashed out of the corridor and went in.
As soon as they went in, they used psychic power to check for traces of Cang He and the others.
It was quiet inside. They didn't see anyone. It was as quiet as a land of death.
Yin Tianfan waved his hand. They spread out to check. Soon, they received a report — apart from the entrance, there were no other exits.
There were steep cliffs on the four sides, and all of them were engraved with runes.
They gathered around the temple and the surrounding castles. Yin Tianfan and Lu Li were outside the temple.
The temple was dark as well. There were many carvings of flowers, birds, fishes, and insects.
The temple had a radius of two miles. What surprised Lu Li and the others was that … the temple didn't have doors!
"The four castles don't have doors either!"
From the distance came people's shouts. They were confused. How could they go in without doors?
Where were Cang Long, Cang He, and the others?
Why couldn't they see anyone?
There was something else …
How could they teleport out of the Hall of Seven Tones?
If they could not enter the temple and the surrounding castles and there were no exits, then they might be trapped in the Hall of Seven Tones forever.
"The exits must be in one of the four castles or in the temple!"
Lu Li observed for a while and came to a conclusion. Cang Long and the others must have entered one of the places. Now, it was time to find out how to get in.
Lu Li told Blood Fairy to go and check while he wandered around nearby to check out the castles.
There were some flowers, birds, fishes, and insects on the castles as well as some strange symbols that Lu Li found familiar.
"Musical notes!"
After a moment, Lu Li suddenly realized that those strange symbols were musical notes!
Since this place was called the Hall of Seven Tones, the musical notes must have some special function.
"Are they the keys to open the castles?"
Lu Li frowned. He walked around the castle carefully. Then, he sat down on the ground and began to think about the musical notes.
"Lu Li, I have found something!"
Yin Tianfan and the others came over. Lu Li was facing a castle. They gathered around the castle to observe.
But they did not see anything special. Even when they saw the musical notes, they did not think too much about it.
"Who has a zither?"
An hour later, Lu Li opened his eyes. Yin Ruolan was surprised. Then, she took out a zither and handed it over.
Lu Li took it over and put it on the ground. He tested the notes and then began to play.
The song he played was a little stiff and very sad. It made people feel sad. Slowly, everyone fell silent, and an image appeared in everyone's mind.
The sun set over the yellow sands, and the city had been reduced to ruins. Countless corpses and blood filled the city, as well as countless strange races. Most importantly, within a dilapidated manor, a young girl was playing a zither in grief. In front of her was a powerful corpse.
This scene was very strange. It suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, and everyone felt as if they were seeing this scene with their own eyes.
"Buzzing ~"
The castle in front of Lu Li suddenly glowed. Then, a black gate appeared. Only then did everyone come to their senses. They were overjoyed.
