After the sand and dust turned into a tornado, a phantom appeared in the blink of an eye.

It was like a tiger, but it had four dragon-like limbs. A pair of wings stood behind it, slowly waving its mane-covered tail.

No one knew the expression on the face of such a ferocious beast. However, the fangs and horns on its head made people feel that it was exceptionally ferocious.

This was especially true for Qiong Qi, who was about three meters tall. Ordinary people standing in front of him were actually not as thick as one of his claws.

It was just a phantom, and it didn’t seem to be a physical existence, but in terms of its appearance alone, it really caused one’s heart to tremble!

For a moment, Su Ye’s expression changed as he hurriedly brought Ji Suling and Mo Li backwards.

After all, what Qiong Qi said was true. If it wanted to come out, it didn’t need to borrow the power of others. At this moment, it had already appeared directly from the door!

Perhaps in the eyes of Mo Li and Ji Suling, they could not detect any aura from Qiong Qi at all. They could only think that it would be some kind of fantasy.

However, Su Ye was different. As a Divine Realm cultivator, how could he be unfamiliar with his soul?

Naturally, he knew that the Qiong Qi in front of him must be the soul that was supposed to be locked up with that sword!

How could Su Ye not be shocked when he never thought that Qiong Qi would be able to say it out loud?

However, after Qiong Qi appeared in front of Su Ye, he didn’t even think about what kind of ferocious beast would do to Su Ye when it saw its prey. Instead, he leisurely laid on the ground and laughed, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’m just a soul now, and I can’t eat people.”

Seeing that Qiong Qi did not seem hostile, Su Ye frowned and said, “What do you want?”

After Qiong Qi lifted his paw and licked it, You You said, “I don’t want to do anything. I just want to see how you get the sword inside.”

Ji Suling and Mo Li were both extremely frightened by Qiong Qi’s words.

Unlike Ji Suling, who was completely at a loss, Mo Li seemed a little angry. She seemed to be a bit stronger than her opponent and shouted, “Hmph, do you think we would believe your nonsense?”

Qiong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said contemptuously, “Mortal, do you believe me or not? Anyway, if you guys had any ideas about that sword, it would naturally be impossible for you to turn around and leave now, right?”

Mo Li was dumbfounded for a moment. If she was the only one here, she should have retreated when the situation was bad. But now, she was accompanying Su Ye, so she couldn’t help but cast an inquiring gaze at Su Ye.

He seemed to be saying that this place was extremely strange. Why don’t we retreat first?

Su Ye smiled helplessly and waved his hand at Mo Li. He raised his head to Qiong Qi and said, “You seem different from the rumors …”

“Rumors?” Qiong Qi smiled disdainfully and said, “When did You You ever care how mortals look at us?”

Su Ye was momentarily dumbfounded. Perhaps the kindest good person in the world was no different from a devil in the eyes of an ant. After all, that kind of existence that could destroy a certain species with every move was good or bad for that species. Was it still important?

And people would care about ants’ evaluation of themselves?

Su Ye sighed helplessly. After glancing at the sundial-like door, he asked Qiong Qi, “Why did you come up with such a thing?”

“It’s just boring.” Qiong Qi casually said, “Why don’t you tell the woman behind you the way to open the door?”

Su Ye’s expression stiffened, and he felt very embarrassed.

Originally, Mo Li and Ji Suling were still very frightened by Qiong Qi’s sudden appearance, but after hearing Qiong Qi’s words, they all looked at Su Ye with astonishment.

Indeed, from the beginning, Su Ye had intentionally or unintentionally avoided the method of opening the door recorded in the sculpture.

Su Ye smiled embarrassedly and said weakly, “Is this important?”

“But you have to choose a way to open the door.” Qiong Qi said lazily, “Do you still have to place your hopes on the possibility that I can help you take out that sword?”

Su Ye smiled helplessly, but Mo curled his lips and whispered, “It didn’t say much. If you really want to go in, you must make a choice.”

“Yes,” Ji Suling agreed, “but if you don’t want to tell us how the door opens, we won’t force you.”

Su Ye smiled bitterly. The way the door was opened on the sculpture was indeed somewhat difficult for Su Ye at this moment.

Originally, there were signs that the pattern that recorded the way the door was opened had been modified. Ordinary people would see two spikes on the couple’s bodies, as if they had been pierced through the two broken discs.

However, in Su Ye’s opinion, the sculpture originally didn’t have those two sharp thorns, and the only person who had done anything to the disk pattern was probably Qiong Qi.

After all, the Imperial Mausoleum had always been sealed, and few people came. If Qiong Qi could freely enter and exit this gate, then it would naturally not be difficult to tamper with that pattern.

It was a pity that Qiong Qi had only slightly changed the meaning of the design. If he observed it with his divine sense, he would still be able to see the original meaning of the design.

Therefore, the way to open the door was not to offer sacrifices. Instead, it only required a group of men and women who loved each other to place their hands on the disk. Then, the door would naturally open.

However, how could Su Ye dare to say such words so easily?

Yes, in his heart, he liked Ji Suling, but very often, what if he liked Ji Suling? If it wasn’t the same, would he still be unable to be together because of all kinds of restrictions?

People were always stubborn and self-righteous. They had to make it so that they clearly loved each other but couldn’t be together. It was only in the middle of a quiet night that they would think about why they weren’t brave and desperate at that time.

After taking a deep breath, Su Ye thought to himself.

If Qiong Qi was able to enter and exit this door at will, then whatever imprisonment or unimprisonment did not have any effect on it. Therefore, no matter which way he opened the door, he would probably say that it didn’t matter.

But even so, Su Ye always felt that something was wrong.

There seemed to be some places that he couldn’t figure out. For example, since Qiong Qi was able to enter and exit freely, why would he interfere in the way he chose to open the door?

Moreover, his intentions were extremely obvious. No matter how he looked at it, it was as if he wanted to urge him to open the door according to the method recorded on the door.

Unable to understand this point, Su Ye naturally shouldn’t have acted randomly for a moment. Otherwise, when would he have been tricked by Qiong Qi? He still didn’t know.

After all, being tricked wasn’t scary. What was scary was that after being tricked, he still couldn’t detect it at all. That was truly stupid.
