Chapter 1218: Chapter 522: You’re Just a Son-in-law, That’s a Profound Level Human-faced Moth!_3

"This person might not be my husband."

"Not your husband?"

"He is an ordinary man."

"You married an ordinary man?"

"To be precise, a son-in-law."

"A son-in-law?"

...

A group of nine people stopped in front of a large door.

The few present all looked somewhat horrified.

Because what met their eyes was an underground palace.

Rather than call it an underground palace, it was more like a fortress.

This underground palace, made entirely of metal without any seams, was forged as a single piece.

"This place is the Mystic Domain," said the scholar in a Confucian robe, his expression desolate, "Within the Mystic Domain, there are about three hundred thousand... talented artificers from across the Qingshan Realm, all who have entered this domain in obscurity, forging a mysterious magic artifact."

The scholar in a Confucian robe didn’t know much.

Only his eldest brother had told him before departing that this artifact was tied to the survival of the Qingshan Realm.

If the Qingshan Realm did not possess this mysterious artifact, it would face a great disaster in the near future.

"Are they all inside?" Qi Yuan asked calmly.

The scholar in a Confucian robe looked towards Chen Kangbao, "Yes, I’m afraid only a handful escaped, aside from Brother Chen, the others died after enduring torture."

He sounded somewhat filled with sorrow as he spoke.

Initially, a significant incident occurred in the Mystic Domain, seemingly due to a problem in the artifact forging process.

Only a handful of people managed to escape from the Mystic Domain.

Some powerhouses captured those who escaped the Mystic Domain, tortured them harshly, trying to learn the location of the Mystic Domain.

However, despite various forms of torture, and even threats against their families and children, none of those individuals revealed the location.

The kind of torture they endured was so extreme that it left them preferring death over life, utterly devastating both their bodies and spirits.

In the end, they all died.

Therefore, later when the scholar in a Confucian robe discovered Chen Kangbao in Ninghe County, seeing him insane, he chose not to disturb him.

"What secret does this Mystic Domain contain that they would rather die than reveal?" asked the younger brother of the Black Fiend duo.

"If, as you say, they failed, why would they fear being discovered after failure?" Tu Sihai was perplexed.

"Perhaps, even in failure, it was not a complete loss. They might fear others entering, causing further failure," Qi Yuan guessed wildly.

"In the Mystic Domain, there must exist a special Teleportation Array that those people used to escape," continued the scholar in a Confucian robe.

He looked down, his gaze bleak.

"This entire Mystic Domain is one solid structure; I’m not sure if we can find an entrance to get inside."

"No need for an entrance, this place is weaker."

Qi Yuan’s gaze fell on a particular part of the door.

According to the hidden energies his eyes could see.

That spot had suffered a severe impact, seemingly from a divine-grade Soldier Commander attempting to break through, but ultimately failing.

Obviously, this underground palace was exceptionally sturdy.

However, in Qi Yuan’s view, its sturdiness had limits.

It must be that... the energy had been depleted over the years.

Otherwise, in its original state, Qi Yuan supposed that even he, without using his Shen Lin state, would likely find it difficult to break through.

"Break!"

Qi Yuan’s gaze was fierce.

And in the background, a mocking voice arose at just the right moment.

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s arm transformed into a kitchen knife.

The formidable power, and the invincible edge of the kitchen knife, struck fiercely on the weakest part of the underground palace.

Boom!

A powerful strike created a two-meter-wide gap.

The scholar in a Confucian robe’s eyes showed surprise, then turned into a mix of confusion and bewilderment.

"Let’s... go in and have a look."

Although he was informed that the artificers in the Mystic Domain had failed.

But... what if they hadn’t?

He still harbored a sliver of hope.

The group promptly went inside.

Instantly, they were assaulted by the smell of decay and rot, like a tomb unopened for a thousand years.

Tu Sihai frowned, his complexion not very good.

The others covered their noses.

Chen Kangbao’s divine artifact unspeakably remarked, "I’m... hungry."

Saying this, he silently took out a steamed bun and put it into his mouth; though his stomach was round, he ate ravenously.

Qi Yuan looked inside.

Before his eyes was nothing but whiteness.

All skeletons.

These bones lay on the ground, twisted in posture, as though enduring something in their final moments.

Some sat upright, as if facing death with composure.

Qi Yuan’s eyes stopped at one skeleton.

It was draped in a black robe, holding a broken sword in its hand.

The broken sword radiated a dangerous aura, yet its spirit had dissipated.

"Is this... a divine artifact?" Qi Yuan asked quietly.

A decade prior, it must have been this man in the black robe, constantly slashing the underground palace with the divine artifact Broken Sword, attempting to carve out a path.

This Broken Sword, its spirit all but gone, was now less than a Heavenly Weapon.

"This is the skeleton of a divine-grade being," Qi Yuan said calmly.

The rest of the people’s breathing became labored, their gaze involuntarily falling on the owner’s Storage Magical Artifact.

But since Qi Yuan made no move, they didn’t dare to make any either.

The scholar in a Confucian robe saw the countless bones on the ground, and his Vitality, Qi, and Spirit collapsed, "Dead... all dead..."

He sat on the ground, his expression vacant.

Qi Yuan’s eyes fell on a stone slab.

"There are inscriptions here."

The others quickly looked over.

On the stone slab on the ground, there were dense, numerous characters engraved.

"My name is Qian Muzhi, the State Preceptor of Kingdom of Sang..."

"It’s Qian Muzhi, ranked among the top three divine beings in the world. He vanished fifty years ago, and he was actually here!" Tu Sihai’s breathing quickened.

"Darkness descends, Strange Spirits proliferate, the front lines are stretched thin, realms fall, the Qingshan Realm... may well be the next world to fall."

The Soldier Commanders present turned pale with horror.

"The Mysterious Prohibition was said to have been eradicated, how could it still..." They felt a sense of imminent disaster as if they had discovered some secret knowledge.
