() Behind the stone gate, there is a circular hall with a diameter of more than 100 zhang long, except for the entrance of Duan Chen's five people entering, there is no other entrance and exit of this hall, and it seems that it has reached the end of the cave.

"It's strange, how can there be only one hall and a stone hall in the cave of the dignified Yuan Infant Monk, this is too simple, right?"

Duan Chen sighed lightly in his mouth, followed by his gaze and quickly swept the entire hall, and saw that the walls of the main hall were inlaid with several fist-sized white ores, emitting a bright white light, illuminating the entire hall.

And the three of Ji Lang, who had entered the main hall before, were standing motionless in the center of the main hall at the moment, looking intently in the same direction, and whispering from time to time, as if they were discussing something.

Duan Chen and Penglai Immortal Mad glanced at each other, and immediately walked forward quickly, and looked in the direction of Ji Lang's line of sight.

"This is ......" When Duan Chen saw clearly what Ji Lang and the three of them were staring at, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

I saw that in the depths of the main hall, a long-haired old Taoist wearing a purple and gold crown and a black and white Taoist robe was sitting on a pale and bloodless face, sitting motionless on a ball with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had been dead for a long time.

It can be seen that there is a finger-thick blood hole left in the dantian and eyebrows of this long-haired veteran, and it seems that it is precisely because of these two fatal injuries that he fell here.

However, Duan Chen clearly noticed that whether it was Ji Lang and the three of them who came first, or the Penglai Immortal who walked in with him later, their attention was not on the dead long-haired old Dao, but on the storage ring he was wearing in his hand and a purple wooden box placed beside him.

The purple wooden box had been opened, and there were seven or eight tokens inside.

When Duan Chen saw the style of the seven or eight tokens clearly, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

I saw that the token placed in the purple wooden box was positive and negative, the front side depicted a palace entwined by chains, and the reverse side was engraved with the word "lock the sky", which was the lock heaven order.

"How can there be so many Heaven Locks here?"

Duan Chen was secretly shocked in his heart, and then looked at the Penglai Immortal on the side, and had a faint guess in his heart.

Could it be that this Venerable Master of Jinyuan betrayed the Demon God Society in the first place, and it had something to do with these Heaven Locking Orders?

You must know that this Heaven Lock Order is a pass token to enter the Heaven Lock Temple, so many pieces of Heaven Lock Order are definitely not something that the Master of Jin Yuan can collect alone, and there is a good chance that he doesn't know what method to use to steal it from the Demon God Society, but it was discovered at the last moment, and he finally died for it.

Just when Duan Chen was secretly guessing in his heart, he only heard Ji Lang speak: "That's right, what was placed in that wooden box was the Heaven Locking Order that the Venerable Jin Yuan stole from the meeting, when I first heard about this, I thought that this person had only stolen one or two pieces, but I didn't expect it to be stolen so much by him." ”

"No wonder the above requires you to see people in life and corpses in death, so many pieces of Heaven Lock Order, I'm afraid that the Heaven Lock Order collected in the meeting over the years is here. Penglai Immortal also sighed.

After a slight pause, she then said with a suspicious expression: "But why did the Venerable Jin Yuan steal so many pieces of the Heaven Lock Order, if he only stole one piece, it may not be discovered from above, and to enter the Heaven Lock Palace, only one Heaven Lock Order is enough." ”

"Hmph, what's so strange about this, lock the sky

It is worth a lot of money, and it is the only way to enter the Heaven Locking Temple, even if the Venerable Jin Yuan himself does not need that much, he can also exchange it with other forces for what he needs. Ji Lang snorted coldly and said.

"You two, I think we'd better take away the purple wooden box and the storage ring on the body of the Venerable Master Jin Yuan first. Duan Chen said.

"Lu Daoyou is right, no matter why the Venerable Master Jin Yuan wants to steal the Heaven Lock Order, it has nothing to do with the mission of our trip, we just need to retrieve the Heaven Lock Order and hand it over to the meeting. Yunhu also nodded.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Disang, you go and take down the purple wooden box and the storage ring in the hand of the Venerable Jin Yuan, and after you leave this cave, we will divide the treasures in it equally. When Ji Lang heard this, he immediately turned his head and said to Di Sang beside him, and at the same time secretly glanced at Yunhu.

"Good. Dexon nodded, and strode forward.

At the same time, Ji Lang and Yun Hu secretly came together, staring at Duan Chen and Penglai Immortal with a vigilant expression, as if they were wary of the two.

Obviously, after discovering the corpse of the Venerable Master Jin Yuan, Ji Lang, Yunhu and Di Sang obviously formed an alliance, and they had a trace of rejection towards Duan Chen and Penglai Immortal.

"Penglai Daoyou, what now?" Duan Chen glanced at Di Sang and asked secretly.

"Don't worry, although there are many factions in our Demon God Society, and they all have some problems with each other, but the Heaven Locking Order required by this mission, whether it is handed over by me to the meeting or handed over by Ji Lang to the meeting, can be regarded as a joint completion of us. ”

Penglai Immortal said: "At most, he has received more credit, but it is not worth our fight, and I don't believe that the Venerable Jin Yuan did not leave any means before he died, so it is better for the three of them to explore the truth first." ”

"I don't care, as long as you can tell me the whereabouts of Han Sheng and Chenyang as promised. Duan Chen shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.

At this time, Yunhu also seemed to remember something, and suddenly reminded: "Disan, be careful of the corpse's fraud. ”

As soon as Di Sang heard this, he immediately raised his hand and shot out a flash of fire, and went straight to the corpse of the Venerable Master Jin Yuan, who was sitting on the Tuanpu.

The next moment, only to hear a bang, the body of Master Jin Yuan was immediately thrown out, and he fell to the ground on his back, motionless.

Seeing this, Di Sang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked quickly to the corpse of the Venerable Jin Yuan, took the storage ring in his hand, and the purple wooden box in his hand, and quickly retreated.

When Ji Lang and Yunhu saw this scene, they couldn't help but look happy.

But Duan Chen, who was watching coldly, had a strange feeling in his heart for no reason, and his mind involuntarily flashed the picture of the young man being killed by a single blow of the black short knife, and the strange structure of the entire cave mansion with only one hall and stone hall.

It seems to have gone a little too far......

Thinking of this, Duan Chen couldn't help but secretly urge the Blood Escape Secret Technique, planning to immediately exit this hall when he saw that the opportunity was not good.

However, at this moment, a sudden change came to an end.

I heard a loud bang, and the stone door of the main hall suddenly closed, trapping everyone in the main hall.

"Not good!" The faces of everyone in the hall couldn't help but change, and Penglai Immortal was the closest to the gate, and immediately raised her hand and waved it.

Suddenly, a wind blade that was long in mid-air quickly condensed and flew towards the stone gate of the main hall.

Then I heard a muffled bang, and the wind blade flew to the stone door, and immediately exploded, but the stone door was extremely smooth and flat, and there was not a trace left.

When Penglai Immortal saw this scene, her beautiful eyes behind the fox mask couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"I'll give it a try. On the other side, Yun Hu raised his hand and released the jet-black short knife, which flew towards the stone gate of the main hall, but only heard a ding, and the jet-black short knife flew back, leaving only a shallow knife mark on the stone door.

"It seems that we have all fallen for the trick, but we don't know if this trap was laid by the Venerable Master Jin Yuan before he died, or if it was from someone else's hand. Seeing that Yunhu couldn't break through the stone door under a blow, Penglai Immortal couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"The token is real, and there is no sign that the storage ring has been refined, this trap should have been laid by the Venerable Master Jin Yuan before he died. When Disan heard this, he immediately quickly checked the purple wooden box and storage ring in his hand, and then spoke.

"Okay, the top priority is to find a way to get out first, I think we should check the stone gate to see if there are any mechanisms or formations prohibited. Ji Lang said with a frown.

"That's all there is to it. Yunhu nodded, and then took the lead in stepping forward and began to inspect the stone gate.

Penglai Immortal, Ji Lang and Yunhu also stepped forward to check together, and by the way, they tried to open the stone door from the inside.

The result, of course, is that it cannot be opened.

Duan Chen, on the other hand, stood silently, looked at the closed stone door, and then looked at the corpse of the Venerable Master Jin Yuan who fell to the ground, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Could it be that this Venerable Jin Yuan is still alive, right?" Duan Chen's heart moved, and then he quickly walked to the corpse of the Venerable Jin Yuan and began to examine it.

It can be seen that there are two fatal injuries suffered by the Venerable Master Jin Yuan, one is a finger hole that pierces the center of the eyebrows, and the other is another finger hole that runs through the front and back of the dantian, and it seems that he should have been injured by some extremely powerful fingering supernatural power.

In addition, judging from the color of the blood stains remaining in these two finger holes, the Venerable Jin Yuan should have been poisoned by some kind of poison before he died.

In other words, there were at least three fatal injuries suffered by the Venerable Master Jinyuan.

"With such a serious injury, even if it is a Yuanying Monk, it is impossible for him to survive. Duan Chen said secretly in his heart.

Then he secretly asked the Seven Demon Lords with some unease: "Senior, it shouldn't be possible for this Jinyuan Master to be alive, right?"

"That's natural, such a serious fatal injury, even a God Transformation Realm cultivator can't survive, and besides, I didn't feel any breath of life on this corpse. The Seven Demon Lords spoke.

"That's good. Duan Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lu Daoyou, among the five of us, you have the highest formation attainment, can you please come over and take a look, what kind of formation prohibition is arranged on this stone gate?" Ji Lang couldn't help frowning and shouted when he saw that Duan Chen was actually inspecting the corpse of Master Jin Yuan.

"Okay, I'll do it. Duan Chen nodded, then stood up as usual, and was about to walk in the direction of the stone gate of the main hall.

As a result, at this time, the mutation regenerated.
