#168 - What is this? It's a door!
"Are they doing this on purpose?"
"They know we're nearby."
"Trying to trick us into making a move?"
Talking and laughing so loudly in a place like this, it's impossible for it not to be intentional.

Even Xu Chengxian could see it, so Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi certainly wouldn't be oblivious.
"Regardless of their purpose."
"They all must die."
The three quickly reached a consensus.
Since the filthy things in their mouths won't speak properly while alive, there's no need for them to continue living.
"Make a move?" Xu Chengxian asked.
"No," Lingxiao shook her head.
"They have four Great Demon Core Realm cultivators and two Great Demon Peak Realm cultivators."
That's a total of six Great Demons.
But we only have three Great Demon Mid Realm cultivators on our side, so we don't have the advantage in combat power.
Moreover, among Jin Hong's group, the four demons following behind are clearly listening to the Great Demon he calls cousin.
So, they might also be skilled in combined combat techniques.
It won't be easy to kill them all.
"If you don't eliminate the weeds by the roots, there will inevitably be future troubles," Ling Yunzi said.
Therefore, they must be killed.
And they must be killed cleanly and efficiently.
So, we can't make a move now.
"What's more, we can't let them die too easily."
If we make a move now, to avoid wasting magical power, we can only pursue killing them as quickly as possible, so as not to have any unexpected changes or complications.
"Let them scout the way for us," Lingxiao said.
She and Ling Yunzi were willing to use a little trick in front of the Emperor's Mausoleum gate to save trouble, so of course, they weren't willing to waste time on scum like Jin Hong.
Just find an opportunity to kill them casually.
There's no need to make a big fuss.
"There are many places in this Emperor's Mausoleum where we can kill them."
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Xu Chengxian had no objections.
Saying that there were plenty of ways to leave all these people in the Emperor's Mausoleum meant they could definitely do it.
Besides knowing that they understood the Emperor's Mausoleum and guessing that they could use the mechanisms within it, Xu Chengxian also knew that Ling Yunzi had refined many 'good' things.
Not to mention, the kind of illusionary maze that could trap people in an illusion, which he used during the fight at Marquis Bishui's demon manor before.
Using it in this kind of place would be fatal enough.
"Then should we follow them?" he asked in turn.
"There's no need," Lingxiao said coldly, "When it's time to use them, they will obediently come over."
As she spoke, she looked at Ling Yunzi, "Do they have something with the aura of a True Dragon in their hands?"
"That's right," Ling Yunzi said. "It should be a magical artifact brought to sense the location of the True Dragon's tomb."
"I knew I wasn't wrong," Lingxiao sneered, "With this thing, we're not afraid of him running away."
"Then what are we doing now?"
"Let's go, continue forward."
......
An hour later.
"Cousin, how is it?"
Jin Hong looked at the brocade-robed man beside him, or rather, at a treasure emitting a radiant glow in his hand, and asked with a face full of anticipation.
The treasure had a handle.
The four Great Demons around them were carefully on guard.
Preventing any demons from approaching and spying.
Buzz—Buzz—
The golden handle engraved with runes was connected to a horizontal ruler at the top.
At this time, the dragon-shaped ruler was slowly and slightly rotating.
Emitting a faint buzzing sound.
It wasn't because of the wind.
But with the infusion of magical power, it was always locked onto a direction in the Emperor's Mausoleum.
"That's right, it's here, continue to move forward," the brocade-robed man held the magic weapon, turned around, confirmed that the direction of the dragon's head hadn't changed due to movement, and smiled.
"Cousin, does the Dragon Seeking Ruler point to the location of the Dragon Egg we're looking for?" Jin Hong asked, "Then we have to hurry, lest others snatch it first!"
"Hmph! How could it be so easy?" The brocade-robed man smiled, "This treasure was painstakingly sought by my father. Even if others have magical artifacts that can search for the aura of a True Dragon, none are as effective as mine!"
This Dragon Seeking Ruler was refined from the ribs of a True Dragon.
In the current Northern Wilderness, how many magical artifacts use True Dragon materials?
In the past, the True Dragon clan was powerful and domineering. Among the demon clans, they were the only clan that did not allow their corpses to be scattered outside.
After all the True Dragons died, they had to return to this Emperor's Mausoleum.
"That's right, Cousin, I heard that in ancient times, if anyone dared to use True Dragons to refine weapons or pills, they would face the pursuit of the four True Dragon clans, is that true?"
"It's true. If you ask me, those old things just don't have their children and grandchildren in their eyes!" The brocade-robed man had a lot of complaints about this.
Believing that the True Dragon clan was doing this and owing it to the descendants.
"If they hadn't insisted on this, wouldn't our Golden Flood Dragon Python clan have fewer treasures to deter all directions?"
Even if Jin Hong didn't agree in his heart, he still echoed, "That's right, that's right! Who doesn't know that Cousin's family has the bloodline of the Golden Dragon."
"If the True Dragon clan wasn't so stingy, Cousin wouldn't have had to make this trip for a handy weapon!"
"Who says it isn't!"
As they spoke, the group was also rapidly approaching the place pointed to by the Dragon Seeking Ruler.
In the middle, they also encountered several Great Demons who tried to follow them, but were killed by the four Great Demons behind the brocade-robed man.
Their methods were ruthless and left no room for maneuver.
They struck to kill.
Such actions also frightened away two other potential competitors.
One of them ran too slowly, was caught up by the four demons, and was killed in the same way.
They didn't even search for loot.
The demon clan didn't have such rules.
They would directly take away everything, including the corpse.
Taking it back would all be cultivation resources that could be used.
"Hmph! They really don't know their own strength!"
The brocade-robed man patted the storage bag on his waist, quite satisfied with this harvest.
Along the way, they also hunted Emperor's Mausoleum monsters in the same way.
They didn't seem to worry about attracting the attention of other demons because of this.
Then, after another two hours.
They came to a depression.
They circled around.
Stopping in front of one of the small hills.
"It's here," the brocade-robed man held the Dragon Seeking Ruler.
The dragon's head of the Dragon Seeking Ruler was now facing the smallest hill among the surrounding hills in this depression.
"Go!"
Then he held the Dragon Seeking Ruler and walked forward again.
He walked around this small hill for several laps.
Only then did he stop in one place.
He waved his hand and said, "Dig!"
In fact, there was no need to dig at all. After pushing aside the bushes in front of them, they saw a small stone tablet half a person tall.
The stone tablet was in the shape of a dragon's head.
The dragon's head had double horns and protruding eyeballs.
Its nostrils were facing the sky, and it had two long whiskers.
In the middle was a word from ancient times.
Presumably, it should have been written as the word 'Dragon'.
"There should be an entrance behind this stone tablet," Jin Hong said, "Cousin, you step back, I'll pull out this stone tablet."
"There's no need for you to come," the brocade-robed man waved his hand.
Then, with a slight tilt of his head, one of the four demons behind him immediately stepped forward.
Transforming into its original form.
It was a pangolin two zhang tall.
He inserted his two claws into the soil and dug up all the soil around the stone tablet.
Then, with a wave of his demon power, the stone tablet was dug out with one claw and rolled to the side.
Revealing what was behind it.
A dark golden stone slab with a gap in the middle.
"This is?"
"It's a door!"
