"A solution? What solution!" The cold and beautiful female instructor asked quickly.

Having witnessed his strategic brilliance in the previous The Way of the Extraordinary dungeon, she no longer underestimated Yuanshi Tianzun, treating him as a true teammate whose opinions on important decisions mattered.

No longer just an assistant.

"You have a way to get me out?" The Fire Saint's determined look instantly turned to ecstasy. Like most Fire Masters, his emotions shifted quickly. He urged,

"Tell me! Tell me!"

"Tell me! Tell me!" Jiang Jingwei echoed.

The sweet and lovely Flower Whisper executive opened her bright eyes, looking expectantly at Yuanshi Tianzun. Seeing everyone's gaze, Zhang Yuanqing corrected,

"No, not to get you out, but to kill the bronze man." Hearing this, the Fire Master Saint was stunned,

"How can you spout such nonsense without changing your expression? I couldn't beat it even with the Berserker skill activated. That thing is not something a level 4 Saint can handle."

Hou De Zai Wu shook his head slightly, clearly sharing the same sentiment. Flower Whisper frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.

Xia Shu Zhi Lian also thought it was unreliable, but as a Swordsman, she stared intently at Yuanshi Tianzun's face and said softly, "I'd like to hear your plan."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly,

"When saving the Fire Saint just now, I sensed an aura of resentment within the bronze man. Although I don't know its exact method of creation, I believe it is not a simple puppet but crafted from a Bewitching Demon."

Initially, he thought the bronze sculpture was a prop because it could cast Bewitchment and Mist abilities, and after The Way of the Extraordinary died, all abilities and spiritual power would be reclaimed by The Way of the Extraordinary.

Based on this habitual thinking, he hadn't considered that the bronze sculpture might be a Bewitching Demon.

It wasn't until the brief contact just now that Zhang Yuanqing sensed the aura of resentment, realizing that ancient immortal cultivation didn't rely on character cards.

In that case, there's no concept of The Way of the Extraordinary reclaiming spiritual power. The puppets and Yin corpses crafted by ancient cultivators can release active abilities.

"So?" The Fire Saint asked, enduring his injuries.

"Since it's not purely a prop, I have a way to 'kill' it, but I need a few of you to break through the bronze sculpture's armor," Zhang Yuanqing said.

The Subduing Demon Pestle's demon-breaking function is the nemesis of such Yin objects.

But the Subduing Demon Pestle doesn't have armor-breaking capabilities. He noticed earlier that the Swordsman's short sword could only cut out a fine sword mark, demonstrating how high the bronze sculpture's defense was.

Xia Shu Zhi Lian thought for a few seconds and agreed with several teammates:

"Based on the brief battle just now, the bronze body gives it invincible defense but also limits its misting ability. If we work together, we should be able to break through the defense."

"He's very confident, so let's give it a try!"

Hou De Zai Wu and Flower Whisper nodded. As for the Fire Saint, he didn't have a say because he was currently a burden.

Thus, the five Saints surrounded the Fire Saint and Flower Whisper, the latter using the "Self-Healing" skill, diligently doing what a recovery cleric should do.

Guan Ya and Xia Shu Zhi Lian held their breaths,

Concentrating, their eyes fixed on the dense fog.

The dense fog can obscure people's senses, turning prey in the mist into blind people, but it can't fool a Swordsman with Insight skills. A dozen seconds later, Guan Ya and Xia Shu Zhi Lian simultaneously looked to the right and said,

"Over there!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Jingwei turned her body to the right, conjuring a fireball in her palm, imitating the Fire Saint and throwing the fireball out. "Boom!"

The airwave wrapped in flames raged in all directions, briefly dispersing the dense fog.

A dozen meters away, the bronze man stood holding a sword, having sneaked close and preparing to attack. Flower Whisper withdrew her hands from the Fire Saint's chest and propped herself up on the ground.

The marble floor tiles under the bronze man's feet "cracked" and fractured, and thick vines as thick as arms emerged from the ground, twisting and flailing, entangling the bronze man's wrists, ankles, and legs.

"Crack, crack..."

The vines tightened and then snapped one by one. The bronze man possessed terrifying strength. But more vines emerged from the ground, pressing forward one after another.

The executive Hou De Zai Wu strode with heavy steps, charging toward the bronze man like a battlefield, cutting a semicircle in his running trajectory,绕制 (unable to translate) behind the bronze man, and grabbing its shoulders from behind.

The bronze man's struggle was weakened. "Jingwei!" Search for the fastest updates in your browser...

This Mountain God wrestled with all her might, her face flushed red. "Coming~"

Jiang Jingwei shouted sweetly, her small body like a torch, bursting into raging flames. Her fiery red hair spread out, bathed in flames.

Her aura climbed steadily, reaching the limit of level 4.

The next second, Jiang Jingwei shot out like a cannonball. Approaching the bronze man, she cocked her right arm back, clenched her fist tightly, and smashed out with all her might, her fist wrapped in flames.

Red, twisted, and eerie runes lit up in the bronze man's eyes. Dong!

The fist hit the bronze man's chest firmly. The muffled and loud impact echoed in the museum. A red fireball exploded on the bronze man, and the scorching heat instantly burned a deep red patch on its chest.

Jiang Jingwei's fist was a bloody mess, her finger bones fractured.

She was immune to Bewitchment. Zhang Yuanqing had used the Subduing Demon Pestle on his companions beforehand. "Jingwei, get back!"

Guan Ya raised her hand and grabbed a Han Dynasty ancient sword covered in bronze rust from the void.

Zhang Yuanqing recognized this sword. It was Fu Qingyang's sword. He didn't expect that after Qian Gongzi advanced to the Ruler level, he would give his favorite weapon to his cousin.

"Why don't you give me, your cousin-in-law, a few top-grade props?" Zhang Yuanqing was envious.

Jiang Jingwei threw herself to the side, hearing Guan Ya's charging sound and feeling the sharp sword aura rapidly approaching, causing goosebumps to rise on her back.

The bronze man was entangled by vines and Hou De Zai Wu, making it difficult to dodge. Its rough and dull face stared blankly at Guan Ya rushing toward it, its bronze eyes lighting up with red light, revealing twisted runes.

Guan Ya, with her "Iron Will" passive and purification buff, directly resisted the influence of Bewitchment and thrust her sword forward with the momentum of her run.

The Han Dynasty ancient sword, containing terrifying sword energy, pierced the "branding iron" of the chest, which had been burnt red and softened. "Crack!"

The bronze man's chest instantly collapsed,

Revealing fine cracks.

Bronze is hard but lacks toughness. Under the piercing force of the sword, it didn't dent but cracked like a lens.

With a successful strike, Guan Ya immediately withdrew her sword and retreated.

A dreamy starlight appeared where she had been, quickly condensing into Zhang Yuanqing, holding the Subduing Demon Pestle. Without hesitation, he hammered the Subduing Demon Pestle into the crack in the bronze man's chest.

"Puff!"

The half-arm-length copper pestle went in up to the hilt. A round of dazzling golden light erupted, and the bronze man's body emitted "hissing" green smoke. A shrill scream that only Night Tour Gods could hear echoed.

As the golden light dissipated, the bronze man fell straight to the ground with a loud crash.

Seeing this, everyone present, including Zhang Yuanqing, breathed a sigh of relief. The Fire Saint cheered loudly, "You really killed it. I was actually saved by a young Saint like you who just advanced. Haha, Yuanshi Tianzun, you're really something. You're indeed a genius, unlike those who just advanced to Saint."

"This straightforward Fire Master is quite cute." Zhang Yuanqing put away the Subduing Demon Pestle. "It's all thanks to everyone's efforts."

The look of joy on the cold and beautiful female instructor and the good girl's face couldn't be concealed. Hearing the Fire Saint's words, Xia Shu Zhi Lian smiled and said, "A genius can have excellent performance at any stage."

She silently apologized for her previous underestimation, completely changing her view of this star figure.

The Flower Whisper executive with a well-behaved girl's temperament looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with increasing curiosity and interest. The steady and heavy Hou De Zai Wu nodded slightly towards Zhang Yuanqing and then said,

"The mist won't dissipate for a while, but it can no longer confuse us. Let's go out first. We should report the investigation results to the branch."

Jiang Jingwei muttered dissatisfiedly beside him, "That hateful Yuanshi Tianzun stole all my spotlight. I clearly made a great contribution too." But no one paid attention to the complaints of a middle school student who was 1.5 meters tall.

Guan Ya squatted next to the bronze man, looking through the hole pierced by the Subduing Demon Pestle, seeing the inside scorched black, emitting a foul and burnt smell that was extremely unpleasant.

"Yuanshi guessed right. This is a puppet refined by a Mist Master."

"Based on the bronze man's combat power assessment, this Mist Master must have been at the level of a God General before his death."

"The immortal sect that refined him into a puppet is very strong and definitely has a Ruler-level figure sitting in charge, and..."

The "demon" in the ancient tomb was sealed, not killed.

Since it was sealed, it meant that even the powerful immortal sect back then couldn't kill the demon. What a terrifying existence that must be?

She told everyone her thoughts. Zhang Yuanqing pondered,

"The methods of ancient cultivators may not be the same as ours. We can't guess the specific situation now. Let's wait until we notify the elders and explore the ancient tomb together."

The group immediately left the museum and headed towards the outside of the mist. On the way, Zhang Yuanqing approached Guan Ya and said softly,

"Did Fu Qingyang give you that sword? Or did he lend it to you?"

Guan Ya said, "After advancing to the Saint level, that broken spear was useless, so I returned it to the family. I didn't want to take their things, lest they clamor for me to marry into another family again. Seeing that I lacked a handy weapon, Fu Qingyang gave me the ancient sword."

"Having a cousin who convinces people with virtue is great!" Zhang Yuanqing held her soft little hand, smiling, "I still like the way you wield a spear, although your posture of being贱 (unable to translate) is also charming."

Guan Ya glanced at him and snorted:

"The spear I used was too long and thick, I was afraid you'd feel inferior, so I changed to a sword."

If they were in the office, Zhang Yuanqing would grab her little hand and stuff it into his crotch, letting her feel the greatness of the Zhang family's ancestral spear.

The group walked out of the fog and saw Xiao Lücha happily jumping over. "Yuanshi Gege, you're out!"

Seeing this, the Queen in the car quickly posted on the forum: #The Golden Brilliance City mist incident has been resolved, Yuanshi Tianzun led the team out#

Putting down her phone, she pushed open the car door and hurried over.

Xia Shu Zhi Lian looked at the subordinates who were staying outside and said in a deep voice,

"Executive Yunmeng and her team have sacrificed. The small team that entered the dense fog last night hasn't been found yet. The bronze sculpture has been resolved and there will be no more danger. Quickly organize people to search for the lost colleagues and contact the Public Security Bureau to prepare for the deployment of troops for the aftermath."

She methodically arranged the subsequent actions. After finishing, she looked at the three Saints from the Songhai Branch and said, "Let's go back to the hotel conference room first and wait for the elders there."

Returning to the hotel conference room, Xia Shu Zhi Lian personally called the direct elder. In order not to waste time, she focused on the information about the ancient tomb and ended the call in a hurry.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing, who was browsing the forum, saw the carpet in a certain empty space in the conference room crack. Then, a figure condensed from mud and sand "grew" out of the floor.

The mud and sand then turned into real flesh and blood, transforming into a middle-aged man wearing old mountain climbing clothes and a thin face.

He looked like a mountain climber whose hairline was gradually receding sadly. His skin was dark because of years of sun exposure, and his temperament was steady, simple, gentle, and introverted, with no hint of an elder's majesty.

"Is this Earth Escape?" Zhang Yuanqing immediately recalled the compiled list of skills for each profession he had read. "Greetings, Elder!"

Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya immediately got up, only to find that other than Xia Shu Zhi Lian, who got up to greet him, the other executives remained seated. Xia Shu Zhi Lian introduced,

"This is Elder Gaofeng, one of the six great elders of our Hangzhou Branch. His The Way of the Extraordinary ID is 'Challenging Gaofeng.' Hehe, Elder Gaofeng has a very good temper and doesn't like messy rules. He hopes to become friends with the colleagues under him, preferably to climb mountains together or treat him to a big meal."

"His good temper can be seen, but what does 'treat him to a big meal' mean? Is he hinting that I should bribe him?" Zhang Yuanqing, skilled in socializing, immediately relaxed his body and displayed a casual attitude. "Elder Gaofeng, sit, sit, sit."

Guan Ya, who came from the White Tiger Army, still maintained her respect for the elders. -The White Tiger Army pays the most attention to the hierarchy.

Elder Gaofeng looked at him with some surprise and said with a satisfied smile:

"Yuanshi Tianzun? Not bad, an interesting young man." He then looked at Xia Shu Zhi Lian and sighed, "I already know about Yunmeng's sacrifice. The branch has lost an excellent executive. I express my deep pain. The organization will not treat her family badly."

"Now is not the time to be sad. I need to know the specific combat power of that bronze sculpture to assess the danger level of the ancient tomb." Xia Shu Zhi Lian nodded. "The bronze sculpture was refined from the body of a Mist Master, and its combat power is equivalent to a level 5 peak."

Hearing this, Elder Gaofeng raised his hand and frowned,

"A Mist Master close to level 6, how did you all come back in one piece?"

As a Ruler-level elder, he sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard it. Being in the dense fog and encountering a Mist Master of that level, the worst-case scenario would be half of the executive members being lost, and the best-case scenario would be everyone returning heavily injured.

But the current situation was neither. The executives were all alive and kicking. Only the Fire Saint's face looked slightly pale, as if he had been injured.

Xia Shu Zhi Lian looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and smiled, "Thanks to the genius from our Songhai Branch, his props restrained the puppet."

Hearing this, Elder Gaofeng revealed a look of realization and couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuanqing.

He smiled, "The Hangzhou Branch owes you a favor, and I will report it to headquarters."

After speaking, Elder Gaofeng put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "Except for the Fire Saint, everyone else come with me to the ancient tomb."

Hearing this, Xia Shu Zhi Lian, Flower Whisper, and Hou De Zai Wu stood up and held each other's hands. Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya followed suit and held hands.

When everyone formed a long line, Elder Gaofeng placed his hand on Xia Shu Zhi Lian's shoulder. The next second, Zhang Yuanqing felt his body "collapse," like a human statue made of yellow sand.

The scenery in the hotel conference room disappeared, replaced by pitch black.

In the darkness, he felt that he was moving at high speed, but there was no light or sound around, and he couldn't feel anything.

"This is Earth Escape? It can even bring people along? Being a Ruler is so convenient, it's equivalent to abandoning transportation..."

He thought in his heart.

In less than half a minute, he felt his body rising and then saw light.

The scorching sun was overhead, the sky was blue, cloudless, and the surroundings were a wasteland. In front was a construction site, with piles of soil piled high and excavators and pickup trucks parked quietly not far away.

Further away, a cordon was set up, and many uniformed security guards were stationed around, prohibiting civilians from entering.

"These security guards are doing well, indicating that there is no danger in the ancient tomb, at least the demon hasn't come out." Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and made a judgment in his heart.

"Then why can we only use professional skills, but the ancients knew so much?" Jiang Jingwei asked, not understanding.

"Because they have Dao traditions!" After explaining, Elder Gaofeng walked to the stone door, raised his hand, and pressed his palm against the stone door.

In the next moment, the three-meter-high towering stone door quickly weathered and mottled, and small pieces of rock fell down. In a dozen seconds, the stone door collapsed with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The group stepped over the broken stones and entered the main chamber. Light could not penetrate here, and the main chamber was dim. "Whoosh!" Search for the fastest updates in your browser...

Jiang Jingwei consciously raised her hands and created a huge fireball with a diameter of one meter above her head. The flames burned fiercely, quickly consuming oxygen, bringing heat and light.

With the brightness emitted by the fireball, everyone could see the scene inside the main tomb. This was a semicircular wide cave, like an inverted bowl.

In the center of the main chamber stood a six- or seven-meter-high trapezoidal stone platform, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. On the stone platform lay a stone coffin covered with talismans.

And under the stone platform, there was a circle of "moat," the water of which was bright silver, solidified and motionless, filled with a metallic taste that made the teeth ache. "Mercury?" Zhang Yuanqing stood on the edge of the two-meter-wide moat, sniffed, and identified the essence of the water.

Having studied at a prestigious university, he immediately raised a question:

"That's not right. From the Song Dynasty to now, nearly a thousand years, why hasn't the mercury evaporated?"

Jiang Jingwei, who studied at a famous middle school in Songhai, asked, "What is mercury?"

However, no one paid attention to her.

At this time, Xia Shu Zhi Lian keenly observed that in the darkness on the side, where the firelight could not reach, stood a stone tablet.

"There's a stele over there!" she said.

Everyone immediately stepped over, stopped in front of the stone tablet, and Jiang Jingwei held up the one-meter-diameter fireball, and everyone smelled the smell of their hair burning.

Elder Gaofeng silently protected his meager hair. "Go, go, go!" Zhang Yuanqing spat at her, pushing her aside.

The stone tablet was one meter high. On the far left were several large characters like a title. Starting from the second row, there were densely packed small characters.

Guan Ya, with the help of the firelight, saw the inscription on the stone tablet clearly: "Pure Yang Sect's Demon Sealing Ground!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing sensed that the Subduing Demon Pestle in his inventory was transmitting bursts of scalding heat.
