Strong in Appearance but Weak in Reality

As expected, theres something fishy!

Su Yun sprinted as he said to himself.

After running for a distance, he saw the substance halting far away then he stopped.

What was that Qi?

Im not sure.

Ling Qing Yu replied: But, if you had activated the sarcophagus or the stone sword directly, you would have been engulfed by this Qi!

Maybe the two clan elders who came looking for Brilliant Rebirth Flower had been taken by this Qi and were poisoned!

Are you sure? As clan elders of the Evil Sword Sect, how can they not have their guards up?

If theyre just normal traps, they would naturally have their guards up but if there was someone close to them who set up the traps, what situation would they be placed in?

Oh? Are you referring to the evil person who died?

If he had gotten close to the clan elders intentionally, and used the Brilliant Rebirth Flower as a bait why wouldnt the clan elders fall for it? After all, the Secret Palace was set up by the ancestors of the Evil Sword Sect. There are many things the people of the Evil Sword Sect didnt know of. Who knows if there are any evil people living within the Secret Palace.

After a long while, the blood red substance had faded slightly. Su Yun was still dubious of what it was, but he waited patiently.

One day later, the area was looking fine again. Su Yun then stepped foot into the field once again.

As he walked towards the ruined sarcophagus, he found a metal door underneath the sarcophagus. The metal door was sealed by an array, and it was hard to open, but in the middle of the array, there was a circular groove.

As he looked at the groove, Sun Yun thought of something. He quickly ransacked through the fragments to find the sun-like radiant ruby.

Then, he pressed it into the concave groove .

Ka cha.

The ruby fell in and instantly released a series of high temperature waves to melt the metal door. Then, stairs heading downwards appeared in front of Su Yuns eyes.

Su Yun thought for a while before he stepped foot onto the stairs.

Isnt the Secret Palace set up by the ancestors of the Evil Sword Sect? If they were using it as the review location for the Evil Sword Sects people, why did they set up such a secret route?

Im not sure. Well know it in a while!

Holding the Death Sword, he went down the stairs carefully.

It was dim and dark underneath, and the temperature in the air dropped drastically to the extent where Su Yun could no longer tolerate. The stairs were long, about a thousand over steps. After he finished walking, he did not know how deep down he was.

On the other end of the stairs was a long stone room. In front of the stone room sat a stone carved lion and behind it was another huge door.

Around the doors were scarred with weird markings. It looked ruined and weird.

Su Yun stared at the lion for half a day before he said: Qing Yu, Im betting with you. This lion is going to come alive.

Not a need to, it is already alive.

Ling Qing Yu replied.

Then, the stone lion let out a ferocious roar and came alive.

It jumped down from the altar and stared deadly at Su Yun with his copper like eyes.

An intruder? Why are you here? Do you know what this place is?

No! Why? Are you with the evil people? Su Yun raised up the Death Sword, his expression sinister.

He did not fear the stone lion. After all, it was only at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm.

That evil person? The stone carved lion was stunned. Then, he bellowed: Tsk, that filthy rascal. Who is with him? Hes merely someone who used the masters name to con and steal Evil Spirits. Dont put him on the same level as me.

Master? What master?

Su Yun had heard it once from the evil person. Now, he was hearing it again from this stone carved lion. He was very curious.

What? Dont tell me you dont know whose grave this belongs to? Youve never heard of my master, Jun Xie?

Jun Xie? Who is he? Su Yun was taken aback. Then, he thought and asked quickly: Do you know where the Sovereign King Sword?

Could it be Jun Xie was the owner of Sovereign King Sword?

Sovereign King Sword? Isnt that my masters sword? the stone lion said: But it was already taken by someone.

Taken away?

Su Yun looked shocked.

Yup, it was taken! The stone lion jumped back to the altar and continued: This grave was built by my masters best friend. There are a total of 8 entrances. Im one of them. There are countless of mechanisms and arrays. Many years ago, an unknown, formidable man forced his way into the grave and got through all the traps and arrays effortlessly and took the Sovereign King Sword that was buried with Jun Xie! I managed to escape quickly that day and was not killed by him or else, what you would be seeing now is a pile of rubble.

Got through this grave, and all the traps and mechanisms easily. He must be an almighty being to be able to get hold of the Sovereign King Sword. Do you know who that man is?

Havent I said it? Its an unknown identity. Moreover, Ive been guarding here for
