He found many elixirs and some precious ores inside, even some martial arts manuals. However, Zhou Yan was not lacking in cultivation resources, so he did not care about these things.
Zhou Yan and Ye Xun continued to explore, but soon Zhou Yan frowned. He sensed something strange here.
"There's a formation inside, and it's very peculiar!" Ye Xun frowned and said.
This palace surprisingly contained a complete formation, and it was a formation targeting them.
The formation was very well hidden. If Ye Xun did not possess the bloodline of a formation master, it would have been difficult to detect.
"We can't go on. If we touch the core of the formation, we might not die, but we'll surely encounter misfortune," Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and then said.
"But if we don't leave, won't those treasures be taken by those people?"
Ye Xun hesitated. After all, they had ventured in, and if they just left like this, they would definitely not be willing.
"Since we're here, we can't just leave like this. I'll break this formation first, and then we'll go out," Zhou Yan said.
"En." Ye Xun nodded and continued to observe their surroundings. The two of them searched for the foundation of the formation inside the palace.
"This is...!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan discovered something. He rushed to a corner inside the palace, smashed the floor with a punch, and found a dark golden bead in the gap of the floor.
"This is the core of the formation." Zhou Yan's eyes lit up.
This bead was like a crystal ball, containing infinite mysteries. Zhou Yan felt that if he could comprehend this bead, he would be able to understand the formation within.
"Crack!" Zhou Yan waved his hand and took the bead into his hand.
"This..." Ye Xun was stunned. He had clearly felt the immense pressure emanating from this bead just now.
"What is this?" Zhen Mi also came to Zhou Yan's side.
"Look," Zhou Yan said.
Zhen Mi looked down and was instantly frozen in place.
On the surface of the bead, many runes were combined to form a pattern.
This pattern was very complex, but Zhen Mi could clearly understand it.
"This is a formation pattern," Zhen Mi said in shock.
"That's right, this is a formation pattern," Zhou Yan nodded.
These formation patterns were precisely the teleportation formations leading to the outside.
When Zhen Mi heard Zhou Yan's words, her face was filled with excitement. She could finally leave.
"Can you see these formations? Can they be repaired?" Zhen Mi asked excitedly.
"En." Zhou Yan nodded.
Although these formations were very advanced, with Zhou Yan's mastery of formations, repairing one was a simple matter.
Soon, the formation was repaired, and Zhen Mi and Zhou Yan walked out of the palace.
"Look, look there." Zhen Mi suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed excitedly.
"So many spirit stones, and spirit herbs. We're rich." Zhen Mi was almost going crazy when she saw the mountains of spirit stones and spirit herbs.
Spirit stones, spirit herbs, and various weapons were all priceless treasures.
"Hahaha, I'm going to be a rich woman." Zhen Mi jumped up excitedly. She was too happy. Their gains this time were too great.
"Big brother, I told you this is a palace left by the gods. It contains countless treasures and wealth. If we can obtain them, we can surely expand our sect."
Just as Zhou Yan and the others were collecting treasures, voices from elsewhere were heard not far away. It seemed that others who had also noticed this palace and were collecting treasures had secretly infiltrated it.
The speaker was a burly man, who was currently following behind a refined man. Behind them were thirty to forty fully armored warriors.
These people were fully armed, wearing heavy armor, with long swords at their waists and bows and arrows in their hands. They were clearly not ordinary people.
The refined man held a spear in his hand, and several guards followed behind him.
These people wore armor and carried sabers at their waists. They looked like soldiers, and judging by their marching style, they should be imperial guards.
Zhou Yan's gaze swept over them, finally stopping at the spear in the refined man's hand.
The spear emanated a cold, piercing glow, appearing extremely sharp. It reflected a chilling light under the sun, indicating its extraordinary quality, definitely not an ordinary item.
"This spear seems extraordinary," Zhou Yan murmured.
Although the spear was casually placed there, without any movement, its overbearing presence made Zhou Yan narrow his eyes.
"This spear should be made from the spine of some fierce beast," Zhou Yan stared at the spear and examined it carefully.
"How do you know?" Ye Xun asked in surprise.
"Look, it is covered with a fierce aura. This fierce aura is produced after countless bloodbaths. Moreover, this spear is inlaid with a dragon's tooth, which is a dragon's fang. Although it is rusty, the material of this weapon is enough to prove its strength. Furthermore, there is a cold aura within this spear, which indicates that after countless killings, its power was sealed, thus it became like this," Zhou Yan explained.
"You're so amazing!" Zhen Mi exclaimed.
"You girl, how am I amazing?" Zhou Yan gave a wry smile. This girl was praising him again.
"I say you're amazing, so you are. Don't deny it," Zhen Mi rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan, then hugged his arm and said with a charming smile.
Looking at Zhen Mi, Zhou Yan felt a warmth rise in his heart.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave, or those people will catch up later." Zhen Mi pulled Zhou Yan's arm and hurriedly ran into the distance.
Zhou Yan shook his head slightly. This girl was still the same as always.
Not long after, they arrived in an open area.
"Roar!"
Just then, a loud roar erupted from the open space in front of them, followed by a cloud of black mist that enveloped the area.
At the same time, dense figures appeared within the black mist.
These figures were all puppets, but their aura was astonishing, and they carried a killing intent.
"Rumble!"
After these puppets appeared, they immediately unleashed a terrifying killing intent.
"These puppets were all refined by a craftsman, but these puppets have all reached the ninety-ninth heaven. They are not easy to deal with," Zhou Yan's expression was solemn.
His soul power was immense, but he still felt a sense of danger when facing these puppets.
"These puppets have all reached the ninety-ninth heaven?" Zhen Mi was a little surprised that these puppets had such powerful strength.
"Let's finish this quickly," Zhou Yan said gravely.
