Old Man Tian Ji greeted Xiang Nan and the others and said, "Everyone, follow me quickly. The secret room is located in the mountain opposite."
Everyone followed Old Man Tian Ji to the snowy mountain.
The young man frowned and said, "With the help of the starry sky, I sensed that a group of people with extremely high cultivation realms were rushing over."
"Those people's realms are generally above the seventh level of Heaven Scryer. The three strongest ones are even at the ninth level of Heaven Scryer!"
"With their speed, they will arrive here in about two hours."
"It must be that group of archers!" Xiang Nan frowned and said, "Only this group of people have been searching for us halfway. Otherwise, the other disciples of the Fallen Snow Sect would definitely not be able to catch up so quickly."
"It doesn't matter." Old Man Tian Ji smiled confidently and said, "I have forged an ice palace from the Profound Ice Thunder in this snow mountain. As long as the Good Fortune warriors do not come, they will not be able to break through the defense of the ice palace no matter what."
The young man said happily, "That's great. Senior Tian Ji, hurry up and open the snow mountain. Let's hide inside first."
Old Man Tian Ji waved his hand in front of the snow mountain. Around the snow mountain, an entire circle of formations began to shine. Then, a tunnel appeared at the foot of the mountain.
"Wait!" Xiang Nan waved his hand fiercely, stopping everyone from advancing.
Old Man Tian Ji said, "Little friend Xiang, aren't you a Mysterious Ice Thunder that you can't forget? Why did you actually see it, but hesitate again?"
"Don't worry, I feel like we've missed something." Xiang Nan rubbed his chin and looked at the snow mountain thoughtfully.
He also asked, "When Senior Su Hongtian was cultivating in this secret room, did he ever use the Profound Ice Bombs to seal the secret room?"
"Of course not." Old Man Tian Ji stroked his beard and smiled, "I bought the Frost Lightning from the Eastern Region."
"That's the spirit." Xiang Nan nodded, "Should we seal this tunnel after we enter? If we don't seal it, the pursuers will directly enter the secret chamber along the tunnel, blocking us on the spot."
"If it is sealed, then the Ice Palace will be completely isolated from the outside world. At that time, wouldn't there be no air left?"
Old Man Tian Ji was stunned for a moment and said regretfully, "I'm an old fool. How can I not count this matter!"
Xiang Nan said, "The most deadly thing is not the problem of breathing. What if we need to use a forging furnace in the secret room? The flames of forging are not ordinary flames. If they burn, almost all the air in the entire Ice Palace will be sucked dry in an instant! It will form a vacuum zone."
"Senior." Xiang Nan looked at Old Man Tian Ji and said, "What would happen if you used a forging furnace in a vacuum?"
Old Man Tian Ji's expression changed slightly as he said, "The flames in the smelting furnace will directly surge out, turning the entire Ice Palace into a large-scale smelting furnace. At that time, we will all be smelted into ashes like weapons."
"Ah" The young man and his group were all stunned.
"Then what should we do?" The young man hurriedly said, "Feng Ye is not, not Feng Ye is also not, isn't it dead to the left and right?"
"I have an idea." Xiang Nan said, "Wait here. I'll be right back."
Xiang Nan flew to the back of the snow mountain. After a period of time, he saw a faint flash of light behind the snow mountain, and then Xiang Nan flew back.
"It's fine now." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I have set up a teleportation array behind that snow mountain."
"When we enter the Ice Palace, we'll set up the next teleportation array!" Old Man Tian Ji's eyes lit up and he said, "Wonderful! In this way, the air outside can be sent into the Ice Palace through the teleportation array!"
"Ha, it's all thanks to little friend Xiang. Otherwise, it would be a disaster."
"Smart, I am truly convinced." The young man gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up.
"Come in." Xiang Nan waved his hand, and everyone immediately entered the snowy mountain through the passageway.
Sure enough, after walking about five to six hundred meters, an ice palace appeared. That ice palace was incomparably sturdy, and it was condensed from the cold energy of the Profound Ice Bombs.
Xiang Nan had already experienced such ice palaces and ice gates in the Extreme Frost Lands, and ordinary people were simply unable to enter.
Old Man Tian Ji activated the formation and slowly opened the ice palace gate. After entering, he closed the ice gate again.
Xiang Nan immediately set up a second teleportation array at the scene. He tried to activate the teleportation array. Indeed, there was a steady stream of air that was sent in from the teleportation array outside.
"It can work!" Xiang Nan clenched his fist and said, "It's not too late. Let's begin."
Xiang Nan released three fifth stage Heaven Scryer puppets, while Old Man Tianji began to flip through some of Su Hongtian's manuscripts.
Xiang Nan walked around the secret room and discovered that the furnishings here were not very rich. There was an entire row of smelting furnaces standing by the wall.
These forging furnaces ranged from Spirit Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, to Profound Grade Beginner Grade.
Apart from forging furnaces, there were also a large number of manuscripts written by hand. These manuscripts were sewn into books, and almost all of them contained some insights into refining puppets, as well as original designs.
The seventeen people from the Star Guild had no time to recover, and were currently sitting in a corner quietly cultivating.
There was a very bad thing about the Ice Palace. Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth couldn't enter. As a result, martial artists couldn't absorb the spiritual energy to fill up the astral qi. They could only rest and let their spiritual seas recover by themselves. This process was still very slow.
Half an hour passed.
Old Man Tian Ji's expression became uglier and uglier, "I can't find it, I can't find any clues left behind by Senior Brother at all."
Su Ran said, "Uncle Tian Ji, when my father was alive, he made a wish for me to get the three golems. I think this way I can solve the secret of his crazy pursuit back then."
"You're not going to start with a puppet."
"I've studied it." Old Man Tian Ji shook his head, "I checked the three puppets carefully and found nothing abnormal."
"This is strange." Xiang Nan put down a sketch and said, "Could it be that we missed some clues?"
The message Su Hongtian left behind was only for Su Ran to obtain the three puppets, but what should he do after obtaining them? Before he could explain, he was killed.
Xiang Nan rubbed his chin and said, "There were people from the First Grade Hall who wanted to kill Su Ran, right? Is it related to blood?"
Old Man Tian Ji thought for a moment and said, "Ran Ran, open your palm and take some of your blood."
He took a small bottle of blood from Su Ran's palm and carefully walked to a puppet.
At this time, everyone's hearts became nervous. They all retreated into the distance and waited in a tight formation.
Old Man Tian Ji took out some of Su Ran's blood and sprinkled it on the puppet.
Everyone hurriedly pulled out their weapons.
However, nothing happened after that.
"How could it be?" Old Man Tian Ji couldn't understand it anymore, and he muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have."
"Of course, puppets, demonic seas, and cultivation techniques. What kind of connection is there between them that I don't understand?"
Old Man Tian Ji had always been confident, because he believed that there was not much difference between his and Su Hongtian's profound dao attainments.
But now, it seemed that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.
