372: cemetery

As Dragon Cloudfrost's injuries gradually recovered, the Deep Affection Gu also remained in her body.

This Gu had already integrated into her flesh and blood; removing it would require the ability of a Second-Order Gu Master or a Golden Core True Person.

Zhou Luo couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't remove this Gu later; he only needed them to be able to get along amicably while in the Immortal City.

Don't look at the fact that the two initially got along quite normally.

But when it came to matters involving interests, Zhou Luo preferred to be more cautious, which was why he suddenly decided to do something like this.

"How is it?"

Looking at Dragon Cloudfrost's face, which was gradually regaining its color, Zhou Luo asked with feigned concern.

Facing him, Dragon Cloudfrost's face showed less coldness and more softness.

She calmly said, "It's alright. I'm afraid we won't be able to get that Golden Core True Person's things."

More than her injuries, she was concerned about the Golden Core True Person's Legacy.

If she could obtain it, her strength could improve further, giving her more confidence when facing that matter in the future.

"You stay here, I'll go take a look first," Zhou Luo said in a low voice, looking at the end of the passage.

Dragon Cloudfrost pursed her lips, knowing that even if she went, she couldn't do anything, so she could only nod.

Zhou Luo got up and left.

He wasn't worried that Dragon Cloudfrost would be attacked again.

Being heavily injured this time was purely because she hadn't expected the other party to have countermeasures.

It's likely that this royal family member still had other trump cards on them, so leaving her here wasn't a concern.

Watching him leave, Dragon Cloudfrost suddenly felt a trace of worry for some reason.

It wasn't worry about the treasure being taken, but worry for Zhou Luo himself.

This emotion made him feel a bit inexplicable, and she couldn't understand it either.

Leaving the passage, Zhou Luo arrived in an even wider area.

This area was larger than any he had encountered before.

It was square-shaped, surrounded by dense light, and a formation enveloped the entire area, isolating the inside from the outside, making the scene within invisible.

Zhou Luo extended his index finger and gently tapped the light; a ripple spread across it, and his index finger passed through.

It seemed this formation was purely for isolation and could be freely passed through.

Zhou Luo wasn't certain. Seeing no one around, he took out his Formation Plate and began to deduce.

About half an hour later, he confirmed that this was just an ordinary isolation formation, and there was a high probability it was not dangerous.

So, holding the Fuyao Magic Sword, he put away the Formation Plate and stepped inside.

Passing through the light, what came into view was an area resembling a stone cave.

The surrounding rock textures were like the marks of time, and the adjacent rock walls were covered with various formation patterns.

And in the center of the area, there was a raised section.

It covered an extremely wide area, looking out, it was as large as a basketball court.

A massive tombstone stood in front, engraved with ancient characters and patterns.

Those characters were from ancient times, imbued with a powerful aura, making it impossible for even Foundation Establishment cultivators to look at them for long, let alone see the content clearly.

Boom—

Just as he saw the massive tomb, a violent sound came from the surroundings.

He looked closely and found that Song Zhan and Shangguan Qianxue, this Senior Brother and Junior Sister pair, were actually fighting.

Could it be that they were fighting over the Golden Core True Person's Legacy?

Zhou Luo couldn't help but think.

At this moment, Shangguan Qianxue also saw Zhou Luo.

Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she immediately transmitted her voice: "Zhou Luo, help me subdue my Senior Brother, he's been poisoned."

Hearing the word 'poisoned', Zhou Luo then noticed that Song Zhan was enveloped in a violent aura. His eyes were bloodshot, his veins were bulging, and he had entered a state of frenzy.

As a Second-Order Poison Master, Zhou Luo's brain began to think rapidly, searching for the poison the other party had been afflicted with.

However, the effect wasn't obvious.

At this moment, Shangguan Qianxue actively led Song Zhan over.

But Zhou Luo chose to step aside.

"This has nothing to do with me," he refused coldly.

The moment the other party left early, their cooperation had already ended.

Now that they were in danger, he wasn't so kind as to help them detoxify.

Shangguan Qianxue's body stiffened, and she pursed her lips, not knowing how to reply.

She knew very well that she indeed had no reason to ask the other party for help.

However, she understood Zhou Luo and knew what he needed.

So she said loudly, "That tomb is strange. If you help me, I can tell you how to open the tomb."

Zhou Luo raised an eyebrow.

This was a good deal.

But was it really that simple?

He glanced at the frenzied Song Zhan and continued to refuse, "I'll figure it out myself."

With that, he flashed and approached the massive tombstone.

The tombstone was three meters tall, enveloped in a layer of dense light.

Zhou Luo couldn't look at it for long; even using his spiritual sense, he could only roughly outline it.

Then he turned his gaze to the raised tomb behind the tombstone.

Presumably, the Golden Core True Person's Legacy was inside.

But how should the tomb be opened?

It seemed Song Zhan's method had failed, which was why he had become like this.

He wasn't sure how long the other party's state would last. Once he recovered, he would likely be in a disadvantageous situation.

So, before that, he had to find a way to enter the tomb.

With this thought, he looked up at the tombstone.

The key to unlocking the tomb was likely related to this.

But why did Song Zhan get poisoned?

Zhou Luo reached out, wanting to touch the tombstone.

And just as he touched the light, the scene before him suddenly began to twist and deform.

There was also a formation on this tombstone.

Zhou Luo had intended to directly break the formation, but thinking of Song Zhan's situation, he instead went with the flow, allowing himself to fall into the illusion.

However, the moment he fell into the illusion, he summoned Bai.

The pure white Bai let out a meow, and under Zhou Luo's command, it leaped up and hid behind the tombstone.

Shangguan Qianxue, who was delaying Song Zhan, didn't notice this. She was now in a frenzy, not knowing how to restrain her Senior Brother.

And at this moment, the scene before Zhou Luo had completely changed.

With Bai outside, he didn't have to worry about his safety for the time being.

What he needed to be concerned about next was the situation in front of him.

At this moment, he was in a bamboo forest.

And in the bamboo forest, a figure was swinging a sword at a bamboo.

It was a wooden sword, without a sharp edge, but it was being swung by that person over and over again, each time precisely hitting the same spot.

That spot had revealed a large area of deep yellow, obviously having been struck countless times.

Unlike ordinary illusion formations, this illusion formation seemed to have no offensive power.

But Zhou Luo knew that if he forcefully broke the formation, he would likely suffer a backlash from the formation and end up like Song Zhan.

Since that Golden Core True Person was looking for someone to inherit their Legacy, this illusion formation was not simply used to trap enemies.

Perhaps he could comprehend something from this formation, or find the key to opening the tomb.
