A group of people followed the only narrow path ahead.
After finally passing through the secret passage.
The crowd realized that this was actually an underground palace. Within the underground palace, there were three entrances and three exits, with many paths. The decorations and statues at the corners also seemed to have a purpose.
Gu Qianying was initially suspicious, but seeing that Bai Yufeng did not speak and kept following behind them.
She could only lower her gaze and continue to follow behind everyone.
As they walked into it.
This vast underground palace finally appeared before everyone.
The special feature within was a coffin in the center.
Eight chains connected to the coffin. As they entered, the chains swayed slightly, bringing a chill.
Mist filled the air before the crowd, making it difficult for them to distinguish where they were or what was happening.
Who would place a coffin in an underground palace, in the secret realm of the Shengyu family, and it did not seem to have been placed in recent years.
The chains were rusted, clearly having been there for a long time.
Bai Xuan, who loved to show off, impatiently pushed aside the leader. "What are you waiting for? Go to the front! What terrifying things could be in here? You're so timid."
With one person stepping forward, everyone's guard naturally lowered, and they followed suit, arriving at the central area.
The coffin was made of colored glaze, transparent, allowing one to see what was inside.
The person lying within the coffin.
Was a handsome man, ten by ten. His body showed no signs of swelling. He lay peacefully in the coffin, as if he were asleep.
This person was Nangong Mo's own brother, named Bai Xianhua. He looked somewhat similar to Bai Yufeng. Many years ago, he had fallen into a coma due to some incident, and thus, the Shengyu family had kept him here to protect his physical body.
When Gu Qianying saw this person, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This man looked like someone Gu Qianying knew, making him feel very familiar.
Bai Yufeng raised his eyes slightly, also showing surprise. He should have recognized the person lying in the coffin, yet he didn't.
He felt a strange sense of momentary trance and familiarity.
Everyone gathered around the coffin. Because the person was extremely handsome, everyone seemed to have forgotten they were in danger.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood there in a daze for a long time. After a while, she exclaimed in surprise, "How can this person be so good-looking?"
Bai Ziyun beside her also marveled.
"Yes! Do we have such handsome men in our family?"
Bai Xiaoxiao curved her lips and then slowly reached out her hand forward.
She said with regret, "What a handsome man, why is he in a coma? If only he could stand before me."
Bai Ziyun sneered, "Give it up! With your looks, you probably can't even compare to a single finger of this person."
Bai Xiaoxiao's face turned ugly. "Shut up."
While they were talking, her fingers had already touched the man's cheek.
Although this person was in the coffin, he looked no different from a living person. The skin on his cheeks was exactly the same.
She was momentarily stunned.
"Is this person alive or dead?"
Bai Ziyun asked anxiously, "What does it feel like? Tell me!"
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, slowly touching her fingers. The touch of the person from before still lingered on her fingertips.
She winked at the person beside her. "If you want to feel it, just feel it yourself."
Bai Ziyun was eager to try.
She also nervously reached forward.
But by accident, as her hand reached forward, she accidentally touched a long pole beside her.
The long pole had a complex totem on it. On it, an evil dragon roared, and faint white light emerged.
She felt this object was really an eyesore and quickly pulled it up. As she pulled it up, she even said fiercely.
"What useless thing is this? What is it doing in this place?"
Gu Qianying, who had been silently observing the layout of the underground palace and found it strange, felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Bai Ziyun's actions.
She shouted sharply, "No, put it down quickly."
For the Shengyu family to specifically build an underground palace for this person, he was definitely not ordinary.
In the center, there were many mechanisms related to this place. Every blade of grass and every tree here had a purpose and should not be touched casually.
But unfortunately, Bai Ziyun did not hear her words and had already pulled it away on her own.
She said with disdain, slowly dusting off her fingertips, "Just a servant, how dare you speak to me."
Gu Qianying felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Annoyed, she flicked her sleeve, gritted her teeth, and her voice seeped through her lips, filled with hatred, "This idiot."
When the wooden stick fell to the ground, the original tranquility of the underground palace was instantly broken.
The ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake violently, and mechanical sounds suddenly erupted from the distance.
Then, a barrage of arrows was fired, coming from all directions, directly towards the center.
Mixed with firelight, they carried bursts of hissing sounds, raging wildly in mid-air.
The crowd, having just stabilized, was then besieged by these fierce objects. Their faces turned pale with fright, and they huddled together in panic.
Bai Yufeng stood firm in the midst, his spiritual energy slightly fluctuating, forming a protective shield that enveloped Bai Yulan and Gu Qianying.
He then moved in response.
His surging spiritual energy rose, forming a fire dragon that rushed towards the front.
This fire dragon roared with its mouth open.
With immense spiritual power, it enveloped the myriad of swords. At this moment, due to the circulation of the fire dragon's power, the original cold energy in the underground palace also carried a few traces of firelight.
The surrounding iron chains rattled, as if subjected to intense pressure.
As for Bai Xuan and the others, who had been looking smug moments ago, they all turned into scaredy-cats when faced with danger, now burying their heads in the corners, daring not to step forward.
Bai Xiaoxiao sneered, "Didn't you think you were quite capable? Why are you hiding here now?"
Bai Xuan forcefully supported himself, his face pale.
"None of your business."
Bai Xuan felt the power emanating from the things that had been rushing at him. For the first time, he felt a sense of helplessness. This power was too immense!
He was not a fool. He would let others go to their deaths; he would never do foolish things for no reason.
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted, "Stubborn as a dead duck, you're just no match for Bai Yufeng."
Bai Xuan was speechless. He looked at Bai Yufeng, who was moving freely and gracefully in mid-air, and lowered his head silently, shaking it in resignation.
Perhaps, as Bai Xiaoxiao had said, he was no match for Bai Yufeng.
The things flying from above, under the erosion of Bai Yufeng's power, finally slowly subsided.
Bai Yufeng retracted his power, his eyes sharp and extraordinary.
His palm once again formed a ripple, and with a powerful posture, he gathered all the remaining residual power.
With a swish.
The originally sharp blades vibrated upon contact with the ripple, and finally turned into dust, annihilating in mid-air.
