creating a defensive stance ready to charge at the three of them."Stop!" A deep voice boomed just then, followed by a group of people entering from the side door.The first man was a man in his fifties...[ ]

"It's fine!" Ling Hao said lightly.

"The aura of killing intent within the cave before must have been a killer move left behind by that powerful being to prevent later generations from disturbing his slumber."

Before, in that empty space, Ling Hao had vaguely sensed that murderous aura. And when he came here, his guess was confirmed.

That's why he allowed the people of Burning Heaven Gate to enter the cave first. Otherwise, how could it have been their turn!

"So" Xueluo Sha, as if understanding but not fully grasping, nodded.

Subsequently, Ling Hao and his group entered the stone cave one after another. Liang Quan led a hundred Blood Guard soldiers to guard outside the cave.

Two minutes later, everyone walked through a narrow passage and arrived in a spacious cave.

Everyone looked around. The cave was over ten meters high and three or four hundred meters long and wide. There were several holes of moderate size at the top, connecting to the mountain above. Sunlight shone in through these openings.

Inside the cave, stalactites of various shapes and sizes can be seen everywhere. In the middle is a stream about two meters wide, flowing gently.

Besides stalactites and springs, there are also some groundcover plants and a dozen or so trees that I can't name inside the cave.

"I never expected there to be a hidden paradise within here!" The Judge scanned the surroundings, saying with a hint of emotion.

After a slight pause, he continued, “But there's nothing here that looks like a powerful being fell. It’s just stones and trees.”

"Big brother, did you get the wrong place"

"According to the map, the location shouldn't be wrong unless the rumors are false," Ling Hao responded with a voice, then released his spiritual power to investigate.

"Hmm" After a moment, Ling Hao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Big brother, what's wrong" Lu Yue asked.

"Go take a look over there!" Ling Hao said, then walked inside. The crowd followed closely behind.

In a short while, they arrived at the inner part of the cave. Before a stalagmite about two meters high, Ling Hao circled around it, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Big brother, is there something wrong with this stone" After Bai Hu finished speaking, he reached out and touched it.

Just as his hand was about to touch the stalactite, a faint tremor ran through the cave, and several pieces of stone fell from the ceiling.

"Be careful!" The next moment, Ling Hao shouted in a deep voice.

Boom!

Then, a surge of immense power erupted from him, enveloping everyone in an instant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, dozens of stalactites as thick as arms shot down from the surrounding walls and ceiling of the cave towards them with lightning speed. The sound was deafening.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The stalactites crashed heavily against Ling Hao's defensive qi, producing a dull sound before shattering into pieces.

Even with Ling Hao's defensive qi protecting them, Lu Yue and the others could still feel a powerful aura brushing against them.

Everyone knows that without the protection of the defensive Qi, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed today.

"Damn, what kind of person would set up such a terrifying trap!" The judge cursed.

"The rumor is very likely true," Lu Yue said thoughtfully. "Just from the offensive just now, it's definitely not something a warrior below the War Emperor Realm could have set up."

After finishing his words, he turned to Ling Hao and said, "Brother, there might be something strange about this stone!"

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly and said, "You guys retreat back a bit!"

"Got it!" Lu Yue and the others responded before taking ten meters back.

Ling Hao then pressed his hand on the surface of the stalagmite, simultaneously releasing a surge of true qi to probe it.

"As expected!" In a moment, Ling Hao's brows shot up, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of excitement.

Whew!

Immediately after, his aura surged rapidly, revealing the undeniable might of a War Emperor realm.

At the same time, a powerful force surged from his palm into the stalactite.

Bang!

The next moment, the stalactite exploded like a cannonball, showering the surroundings with stone fragments.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, another tremor shook the cave.

Then, a hole two meters high appeared on the wall not far from everyone. Inside was a space of about twenty to thirty square meters.

"Ling Shuai, there's someone inside!" Xue Luo Sha's voice rang out.

Upon looking around, they saw a smooth stone slab in the center of the space. It was about one meter long, wide, and high. A man was sitting cross-legged on the stone slab with a rusted sword beside him.

Strictly speaking, this is not a person but a complete human skeleton.

The walls inside the cave were completely different from the rough and uneven exterior; they were smooth as a mirror on all sides.

"The rumors seem to be true! This must be the powerful War Emperor realm expert." As a group arrived at the mouth of the cave, Bian Guan looked at the skull on the stone slab and spoke.

No one entered the cave. It is the least we can do to show respect for the deceased.

Whew!

At the same time, a powerful aura swept out from the cave. Everyone except Ling Hao and Lu Yue trembled involuntarily.

"My goodness, even after decades, there's still such a formidable aura. This powerhouse was probably at least a late-stage Battle Emperor in life!" The Judge couldn't help but sigh.

After a slight pause, he continued, "But it seems like there's nothing inside. So many people want this map, just to see the remains of the strong"

"Big brother, there's something on the wall!" At this moment, Lu Yue pointed with his finger at the opening in the cave wall.

"Hmm" The several judges looked over simultaneously.

"Really!" exclaimed Bai Hu.

Just now, everyone didn't pay much attention. Now that they took a closer look, they discovered that the walls around them were carved with many images, depicting someone dancing with a sword.

"As expected of a late-stage War Emperor powerhouse!" Lu Yue couldn't help but exclaim after a while, "Such high-level swordsmanship!"

"Blood Rakshasa, if my memory serves me right, besides your whip techniques, you also practice swordsmanship, don't you" At this time, Ling Hao looked at Blood Rakshasa and spoke.

"As for what Huiling said, it's right!" Xueluo replied with a nod.

"Write down this sword technique on the wall, it's very suitable for you!" Ling Hao continued.

He naturally saw that this set of sword techniques was extraordinary.

It's a pity that the brothers around him all carry swords, and swordplay isn't suitable for them.

Of course, even if the wall was carved with sword techniques, it might not interest someone like Lu Yue.

They are very clear that, whether it's the Blood Shadow Sword Technique or the Cold Moon Sword Technique, its profoundness is far greater than ordinary sword techniques. Even Lu Yue can only exert at most 30% of the power of the Blood Shadow Sword Technique now.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't go far to practice other sword techniques.

"Ah!" The Blood Rakshasa was taken aback.o."Hello!" Ling Hao smiled after introducing Xuan Pang to the two people."Hello there, two beautiful sisters!" Xuan Pang said in a familiar tone."I see that both of your skins are a little dry. I have...
