Supreme Divine Physician in the City

With Ye Xuan’s order, a group of six people together passed through the stone gate, officially stepping into the magnificent, majestic cave abode.

Rather than calling it a cave abode, perhaps using palace to describe it would be more appropriate!

The moment Ye Xuan and the others entered the palace, they immediately felt that the temperature inside was much warmer than outside, almost like spring or autumn, making it very comfortable to be in.

Inside and outside the door, not only were the decorations vastly different, but the surrounding environmental factors also seemed like two different worlds!

"This..."

Noticing this change, everyone present, including Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao, couldn’t help but have their expressions change, feeling deeply shocked.

Bang!

At this moment, the stone door hanging in mid-air suddenly slammed down to the ground, shaking the entire palace as if it were trembling slightly.

The stone door closed again, once more isolating them from the outside world.

Ye Lang looked back and immediately said with credit-seeking pride, "Boss, look, it’s a good thing you brought me along this time; otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to get past this stone gate!"

Ye Xuan curled his lips, speechless.

The truth was, Ye Xuan hadn’t initially planned on coming to this Ancient Tomb Ruins and hadn’t anticipated the existence of the stone gate mechanism. If Ye Lang hadn’t been there today, opening the mechanism would not have been an easy task.

Ye Xuan began to survey the situation inside the palace.

The palace was extremely spacious, with a floor made of glazed tiles, upon which lay countless corpses from various places. Due to the temperature difference from the outside, many of the corpses had already begun to decay, emitting a nauseating stench.

Within the palace, there were eight passageways leading in different directions, deep and without end, eerie and mysterious.

At the entrance of the eight passageways, eight prominent ancient characters were inscribed.

The eight characters were Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.

"Tai Chi gives birth to the two forms, the two forms give birth to the four phenomena, the four phenomena give birth to the eight trigrams—this is the Bagua!" Even the usually unserious Lou Yaoyao was surprised to see the eight prominent characters and furrowed her brows in curiosity.

Ye Xuan nodded: "The Bagua is a cultural concept left by the Human Emperor Fu Xi. From this, it’s clear the owner of this Ancient Tomb was also from Yan Country and had significant knowledge of Bagua culture."

"Looks like we have to be careful."

Lou Yaoyao smiled brightly: "In the Bagua formation, there are countless traps that remain intact for thousands of years. These eight passageways are likely full of dangerous mechanisms; one slip and we could be crushed to pieces!"

"Yes, yes, just like the passage we just entered; there was a mechanism there!" Ye Lang chimed in, "If I had chosen the wrong mechanism back then, I wouldn’t have opened the stone gate, but something unknown and dangerous instead!"

The group was taken aback upon hearing this, all looking at Ye Lang with peculiar expressions.

Ye Lang looked innocent: "Didn’t you guys notice? There were dozens of small lion heads outside the stone gate, each one a mechanism. Most of those who died outside the stone gate probably triggered the mechanisms and died because of it!"

With Ye Lang’s comment, everyone recalled there were indeed many similar-shaped small lion heads outside the stone gate, and the dead there didn’t look like they had died from combat.

A closer look revealed that the character carved on the entrance of the passageway with the closed stone gate was ’Zhen.’

Zhen Gate!

Suddenly, everyone felt a shiver of fear and trepidation.

Chi Lian couldn’t help but burst out: "Ye Lang, are you crazy? Knowing those were all dangerous mechanisms, why didn’t you warn us ahead of time? If you had triggered something other than the door-opening mechanism, we’d all be dead!"

"What do you know? I had the confidence to directly find the door-opening mechanism, and I did. A genius’s actions are not something you mere mortals can comprehend," Ye Lang retorted proudly.

"You..." Chi Lian fumed.

She was particularly displeased with Ye Lang’s independent style; although Ye Xuan was the same, could this fair-faced guy compare to Brother Black Emperor?

Chi Lian really wanted to tear apart this fair-faced guy.

"Alright, stop arguing," Ye Xuan said: "We don’t understand those mechanism secret techniques to begin with, whether Ye Lang mentioned it or not doesn’t change much. Now that we’re already in, the priority should be determining which passage we should take."

Ye Xuan and the others came from the Zhen Gate, but there were eight passageways in the palace, leaving them with seven to choose from.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lou Yaoyao.

Lou Yaoyao wasted no time and produced a small glass bottle once again, trying it at each of the seven entrances, and when she reached the sixth ’Li’ gate, the Miracle Medicine Fragment inside the glass bottle glowed once more.

Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, hidden within the Li gate passage!

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan took the lead and walked into the Li gate passage, with a rush of energy surging in his body, ever-ready for any unknown danger.

The other group members naturally didn’t dare to be careless either.

The group of six cautiously advanced deeper into the Li gate passage.

The Zhen gate passage, as the Ancient Tomb entrance, was obviously the most humble. Now, in the Li gate passage, it was apparent more care had gone into the decoration; every few meters, an oil lamp embedded in the rock wall flickered, illuminating the walkway.

Also, in this Li gate passage, the number of corpses was far fewer than in the Zhen gate passage.

After all, there weren’t many people who made it to the palace, and with seven passageways to divert competitors, the number of opponents here was significantly reduced.

Of course, in such a scenario, encountering a competitor would mean an even more dangerous and formidable opponent.

After walking about half a mile.

The Li gate passage still had not ended.

Ye Xuan prepared to continue onward.

However, Lou Yaoyao suddenly tugged on Ye Xuan, speaking up: "Little brother, there’s a small side path here; there might be treasures inside!"

Ye Xuan paused and turned his head, seeing that on the left side was a small passage branching off from the Li gate passage, seemingly leading to another place.

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment: "Let’s go take a look."

Saying this, Ye Xuan headed toward the small passage.

Since they were already at these Ancient Tomb Ruins, as long as it didn’t delay finding the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, Ye Xuan was naturally willing to advantage of the opportunity to gather some extra benefits.

After all, these Ancient Tomb Ruins were indeed extraordinary, and anything hidden within would likely be anything but ordinary.

And the small passage did not disappoint Ye Xuan.

It was only about a dozen meters long.

So in no time at all, Ye Xuan and the others passed through the small passage and arrived at a dim secret chamber of about a hundred square meters.

The oil lamps in the chamber were lit, and a heavy scent of blood hung in the air.

Focusing their gazes, they all saw that there were already dozens of corpses in this place, and every corpse had been pierced by arrows, as if they had fallen victim to some hidden mechanism in this secret chamber!
