Chapter 565
When Liu Jingning said this, Xu Que was stunned on the spot.
Are you kidding me? Telling a ghost story?
You clearly went in together, how did it become Jiang Hongyan lying in the coffin?
Xu Que didn't rush to ask further. Liu Jingning's injuries were very serious, and she even had difficulty speaking.
He held Liu Jingning and landed on the ground. Xiao Taixuan and Xiao Munan and others were already sitting cross-legged, recovering from their injuries.
Xu Que didn't skimp either, directly spent one thousand acting cool points, exchanged for an eight-star pill, similar to the pill he gave Jiang Hongyan earlier, and sent it into Liu Jingning's mouth.
Soon, powerful vitality surged from Liu Jingning's body, and many fatal injuries began to heal.
Liu Jingning recovered her consciousness and woke up, but her eyes were still full of shock.
"What exactly happened?" Xu Que then asked.
Liu Jingning shook her head: "I don't know. I didn't see you guys after going in. There was no one around, so I could only walk forward. Finally, everyone gathered at the center of the ancient hall, and then I discovered a stone coffin placed in the center!"
"Stone coffin?" Xu Que was shocked.
This indeed confirmed his statement. This bronze ancient hall was likely a huge coffin, and the stone coffin inside was the coffin!
No, there was another possibility. This bronze ancient hall itself was a huge tomb, buried under Huangluo City, and only now suddenly appeared in the world!
"Hmm, when I went in, I discovered countless passages inside, but they all led to the center of the ancient hall. A stone coffin was placed inside, but it was covered with array patterns, which looked very likely to be an altar! Because..."
Having said this, Liu Jingning's face turned slightly pale, and her eyes looked at Xu Que: "Because the array patterns around the stone coffin were full of fresh blood, all flowing toward the stone coffin!"
"That's not an altar!" At this time, a weak voice came.
Han Ying, the Saintess of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, walked over, pale, and said in a deep voice: "That is a killing array. Everyone who went in before wanted to approach the stone coffin, and in the end, they were all strangled, leaving only blood, and that blood was to awaken the existence inside the stone coffin!"
Liu Jingning trembled slightly upon hearing this.
Xu Que was bewildered. Stone coffin, killing array, what about Jiang Hongyan?
"To be precise, that is a Dao-transforming array. As long as it is a cultivator, they must have Dao. No matter how small, they possess Dao rhyme. The blood absorbed by the killing array is to send the Dao rhyme into the stone coffin to awaken the existence inside!"
Having said this, Han Ying's youthful face turned cold, murderous aura revealed, and she said in a deep voice: "This is all a trap laid by Jiang Hongyan. Everyone who goes in will become nutrients for her to achieve the Great Dao!"
"Impossible. If it was a trap laid by Hongyan, how could she have saved us?" Liu Jingning immediately retorted.
Han Ying opened her mouth, seemingly unable to answer, and didn't speak.
Xu Que was stunned. He naturally couldn't believe Han Ying's guess. Jiang Hongyan could never be that kind of person. Something must have happened.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to ask Liu Jingning for the complete process of what happened after going in!
Liu Jingning's expression was complex, and she also told what happened after going in.
After they entered the center of the ancient hall, they discovered those array patterns. The blood in the patterns was all flowing toward the stone coffin. Just when they were hesitating how to approach, the ancient hall suddenly shook, and a huge vortex surged out from outside the stone coffin, and terrifying gravitational force sucked everyone toward the array patterns.
Following that, majestic strangling force swept over everyone, like countless dense and invisible blades, tearing their flesh, wanting to tear them into fragments, and they actually had no power to fight back.
However, at the critical moment, the stone coffin shook, the coffin lid pushed open automatically, and Jiang Hongyan actually sat up from inside, slapped everyone out with one palm, and saved them.
"She only said one sentence at the time, which was to tell us to leave quickly, and then she seemed to suddenly lose consciousness, turned into a corpse without any vitality and fell down, and the stone coffin closed automatically, but that gravitational force was still there, so we had to escape," Liu Jingning said.
Xu Que was already dumbfounded after listening. This process was too suspenseful. How could Jiang Hongyan appear in the stone coffin? Was she really the owner of this stone coffin?
"What happened when you went in? I and Hongyan saw you pass through the ancient hall. Originally we wanted to stop, but the entrance sucked us in!" At this time, Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que and asked.
Clearly, they were behind Xu Que and also saw that Xu Que couldn't enter the ancient hall.
"I don't know what's going on. You guys could all go in, but only Er Gouzi and I couldn't. To Er Gouzi and me, this ancient hall was like an illusion, as if it didn't exist in the same world as us!"
Having said this, Xu Que's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Not in the same world? Could it be because I am a transmigrator, and don't belong here myself? But this doesn't make sense either! Er Gouzi isn't a transmigrator!
"I understand!" Liu Jingning suddenly realized.
"Ah?" Xu Que was startled.
"It's a problem with Dao rhyme!"
Just as Liu Jingning opened her mouth, Han Ying beside her also answered in unison.
Han Ying looked at Xu Que with complex eyes, shook her head and said: "You were wrong. Your technique doesn't have the slightest Dao rhyme. Now I understand, it turns out you don't have Dao rhyme yourself! You couldn't enter the ancient hall because the entrance of this ancient hall was transformed by rune arrays. It absorbs not people, but Dao rhyme! You and this dog don't have any Dao rhyme, so you were both excluded."
"Is that the reason?" Xu Que was stunned. He never expected that he couldn't enter the ancient hall because he didn't have Dao rhyme.
Liu Jingning nodded, meaning to tell Xu Que that Han Ying was right!
"In that case, I can't go in no matter what?" Xu Que frowned instantly.
Jiang Hongyan was now lying in the stone coffin, life or death unknown. If he couldn't go in, how could he talk about saving her?
Now there were only two paths in front of him: either find a way to cultivate Dao rhyme, or continue to act cool and accumulate more acting cool points to upgrade himself to an Immortal Array Master and forcibly break the ancient hall's array!
But no matter which choice, it wasn't something that could be completed in a short time!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this time, more than thirty figures rushed over from afar, exactly Dong Genji and Jiang Yushu and others who were scammed by Xu Que earlier.
They chased all the way here, besides wanting to enter the bronze ancient hall, they also came to settle scores with Xu Que!
But as soon as they landed, they realized something was wrong. All the Holy Sons and Saintesses and some experts who had arrived earlier were now suffering serious injuries again, and even their Dao rhyme was damaged, all sitting cross-legged on the ground recovering.
"What happened to everyone, why haven't you gone in yet?" The Gong family old man immediately asked.
Qin Ji of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Sect opened her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "This place is not something we can touch right now!"
"What happened?" Jiang Yushu frowned and asked.
With the status of these old men, some people present still had to give them face, and immediately told the story.
Afterward, more than thirty Void Refinement Stage experts were moved one after another, finding it hard to believe.
"Abominable, it must be a trap laid by that disaster star Jiang Hongyan. This calamity of beauty should have been eliminated long ago!" Jiang Yushu gritted his teeth in anger, his face full of annoyance, seemingly feeling it was a pity that he hadn't killed Jiang Hongyan.
Xu Que's face turned black instantly upon hearing this. He stood up abruptly and shouted: "Er Gouzi, hurry over and heal Elder Jiang, punch him in the chest!"
Jiang Yushu was startled instantly, and before he could react, Er Gouzi said with excitement: "Old man, lie down quickly, this Divine Venerable will use the 'Ultimate Invincible Return My Health Fist' to heal you!"
【Yeah, I'm going to continue writing! I guarantee to get it done before 12 o'clock!】
