Shen Yingxue stroked a crystal ball in front of the palace, lost in thought.
"Miss Shen? What are you looking at?" Zhang Xiaohu asked, puzzled.
He hadn't brought the Xuan Yang Sparrow inside, not because Chu Yang stopped him, nor because anyone protested.
It was because... he himself felt it would be unfair to others.
When Shen Yingxue heard the reason, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Back then, she had asked, "Senior Xuan Yang Sparrow must really want to come in, right?"
"Senior wants to protect me, but I already owe it too much, I can't trouble it anymore."
Shen Yingxue: "..."
She could already picture the Xuan Yang Sparrow going mad.
Zhang Xiaohu, this person was too straightforward. If he brought the Xuan Yang Sparrow in, he would be invincible here.
Li Qingyun, Daoist Bai, and the others could be easily defeated.
But looking at Zhang Xiaohu's stubborn gaze, Shen Yingxue understood. Perhaps this was the legendary pure heart.
She suddenly remembered that she was quite pure a week ago, but she had been "played" by Empress Sister.
The perspective shifted back to the present.
Zhang Xiaohu watched Shen Yingxue examine the glass ball, feeling somewhat confused and bewildered.
In his opinion, these were just two decorative items standing at the entrance.
However, Shen Yingxue's eyes could see something different.
She took the crystal ball down from the pillar, her eyes swirling with a strange light.
"Do you think there's a possibility? That this is a camera?"
"Ah? It's not powered on..."
Shen Yingxue's face darkened. "My dear Brother Hu! I mean, this thing is a magic treasure that can capture images!"
Zhang Xiaohu scratched his head awkwardly, starting to doubt if something was wrong with his brain.
"Then... how do you watch it?"
"With your eyes!" Shen Yingxue said irritably.
Zhang Xiaohu weakly poked the crystal ball. "Shall I try injecting spiritual power?"
"I tried, it didn't work."
"Then how do we do it?"
Shen Yingxue flipped the crystal ball over. There was a groove on the base.
"To play, you might need a 'battery'."
Zhang Xiaohu: "Ah? I didn't bring any..." He glanced at Shen Yingxue's sharp gaze, his brain spinning rapidly. He swallowed hard and changed his words: "I... I mean... this 'battery' should be some kind of proxy, right?"
Shen Yingxue said helplessly, "Brother Hu, sometimes when you talk to others, you need to think more about metaphors. If you're like this, you won't even know when your girlfriend hints that you can make a move."
Zhang Xiaohu's face turned red, and he retorted, "Don't I know already? You mean the battery is something that can activate the crystal ball!"
Damn it, when she was with Miss Shen in the [Spirit Beast Realm] before, she was still a pure little lily.
She didn't know what that Wan Hua Empress did to her. It wasn't just that her temperament changed; she even started speaking in metaphors!
"Take out a demon core from the Sea Dragon clan."
Zhang Xiaohu unhappily handed a demon core to Shen Yingxue. Although the Sea Dragon clan followed human cultivation methods, they were also considered half beast.
Shen Yingxue said, "Things they made themselves should only be activated by their own spiritual power."
As expected, after placing the demon core into the groove, the crystal ball lit up.
No one expected that the truth behind the annihilation of the [Deep Sea Dragon Palace] was hidden within these unremarkable glass balls that looked like light bulbs.
Zhang Xiaohu and Shen Yingxue's eyes widened. The scene inside was truly too shocking.
"This is... an Outer Realm Evil Clan?"
They had already seen countless times the scenes of the evil clan's invasion three years later that Chu Yang had shown them.
And when the appearance of the invading evil clan members in the picture appeared, their heartbeats accelerated, and they clenched their fists.
It was this race! This was their ultimate enemy!
Good heavens, even though they had only seen that video, and even though it was a scene from the future that hadn't happened yet, the hatred was already ignited!
As the Shitian clan members in the picture were about to charge into the Dragon Palace, all the Sea Dragon clan members were enveloped by a massive teleportation light and disappeared!
"They disappeared! What's going on? Where did they go? And where are those evil clans?"
Shen Yingxue stood up and rushed out. "Brother Hu, go collect the crystal balls from all over the Dragon Palace. We need to see more perspectives to uncover the truth here!"
Zhang Xiaohu also knew that this matter was definitely important, as it involved the Outer Realm Evil Clan!
"I got it! I'll go right away!"
After a full month of searching, they finally collected hundreds of crystal balls that covered various perspectives inside and outside the Dragon Palace.
Then, with a sense of trepidation, they spent another few days watching all the recordings.
Finally, they saw the last scene.
The Sea Dragon King, along with his soldiers, activated a massive formation, dragging those Shitian clan members into another dimension.
The video ended there, but they already knew the whole truth.
Why had this Dragon Palace become an empty shell? Where had the Sea Dragon clan members gone? And where had the evil clans gone?
This recording had answered all of them.
"This, this... where did they go?"
"When they entered that place, the entire Dragon Palace lit up with formations! There must be a formation that can open that space!"
"Hiss! Miss Shen, this matter is very serious. I don't know if those evil clans are dead, but the old Dragon King in the picture looked very tired!"
"We must find a way to open this formation!"
"How do we open it?"
"How do we open it? Of course, we find Daoist Bai! I'll go find Daoist Bai, you go notify the others!"
"Okay! I know!"
"..."
The two divided their tasks clearly and acted decisively and swiftly.
Since everyone had agreed that once they encountered dangerous hidden dungeons, they would gather and fight as a team.
Moreover, this matter involved the Outer Realm Evil Clan, so they had to unite!
When everyone heard Zhang Xiaohu's account, they exclaimed "Holy crap!" and immediately headed towards Daoist Bai Nianchen's location to gather.
This kind of hatred transcended personal gain, achieving unprecedented unity!
Because Chu Yang had initially conveyed the news of the evil clan's invasion to them through memories, it felt as if everyone had personally witnessed that brutal massacre. Now that they had an opportunity to fight in advance, they had to beat them until their mothers wouldn't recognize them!
