The jade pendant is emerald green all over, with a crescent moon engraved on it, which is the emblem of the ancient Yueying Kingdom.

"What is this?" Wu Jing also came forward and widened his eyes.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that this jade pendant should be the key to open the way forward. You see, its shape is exactly consistent with the groove on the cave wall."

Everyone followed Lin Qiye's direction and saw a crescent-shaped depression on the edge of the cave entrance.

"So that's it! No wonder I couldn't get through even though I clearly saw the exit before." Cheng Long suddenly realized.

Lin Qiye nodded and placed the jade pendant into the groove.

With a click, the cave wall opened up, revealing a deep passage!
A faint green smoke emanated from the cave, but it was not as pungent as before, but instead had an inexplicable fragrance.

"It seems that this is the right way." Lin Qiye put away the jade pendant and stepped into the passage first.

The others looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.

In the live broadcast room, countless viewers held their breath.

"Fuck! Another secret passage! Isn't there too many secrets in the ancient country of Moon Shadow?"

"That's right! Everything here is so weird. We just entered, are we going to run into some monsters again?"

"Don't talk nonsense! With Lin Qiye here, how can things turn sour? Didn't you see him fighting the snake demon just now?"

"That's right! Our Qiye has awakened his Qilin bloodline, are you still afraid of not being able to get through?"

"But it's strange, why does this demon snake have Yueying's jade pendant? Could it be that Yueying was destroyed and turned into a demon by the evil spirit?"

"That makes sense! Maybe this evil snake was created by the gods to harm Yueying. Now that we have found the passage, we might be able to uncover the truth of that year!"

Everyone was talking at once, full of curiosity about the secret that was about to be revealed.

However, as we went deeper, the smoke became thicker and visibility became lower and lower.

It was not until this time that everyone discovered the strangeness of the passage.

"Huh? Why does this smoke seem to have a hypnotic effect?" Yang Mi rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Yeah. I feel drowsy too," Cheng Long forced himself to be alert.

Even a man like Wu Jing couldn't stop yawning.

Only Lin Qiye looked normal, with a bright look in his eyes.

"Don't be distracted! Stay alert!" he shouted in a deep voice.

Before he finished speaking, a huge force suddenly descended!
The invisible air wave came overwhelmingly, hitting everyone heavily, and was actually trying to force them back to the cave entrance!
At the same time, an old and ethereal voice suddenly sounded:
"Who are you? Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will be killed!"

It's so majestic, it makes people's heart palpitate!
"Oh no! Someone is setting up a formation!"

Lin Qiye frowned and immediately shouted:
"We are not trespassing! We are here only to explore the mysteries of the ancient country and solve historical mysteries! Please understand us, seniors!"

As soon as the words fell, the air wave suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Even that old voice gradually faded away, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating in the depths of the cave.

"What the hell is going on? Who was that voice just now?" Yang Mi's face turned pale and even her voice was shaking.

Lin Qiye looked solemn, and after a moment's silence, he said, "He is most likely the guardian of this tomb. Judging from the majesty in his words, his cultivation is quite impressive, and he is truly a master."

"But why did he suddenly disappear? Could it be that he recognized your identity?" Wu Jing was a little puzzled.

Lin Qiye shook his head and sighed: "Not necessarily. If he really regards us as enemies, with his cultivation level, it would be easy for him to kill or chop us up. What he just did was just a warning."

Cheng Long swallowed his saliva: "What should we do now? Keep going?"

"Of course!" Lin Qiye's eyes were firm. "We have come a long way to find this place. If we retreat at the last moment, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted? Besides, is there any ancient tomb exploration that can be said to be 100% safe? Let's take it one step at a time!"

After saying that, he strode into the depths of the passage without hesitation. The others looked at each other and followed him in one go.

We didn't encounter any danger along the way. Instead, we could hear the faint sound of wind chimes, which was crisp and pleasant.

"Huh? The sound of wind chimes? Why are there wind chimes in this deep tomb?" Wu Jing murmured to himself, quite surprised.

Lin Qiye's expression became stern and he quickened his pace.

Soon, everyone saw a brilliant and splendid scene at the end of the passage!
All I saw was the splendor of gold and jewels.

At first glance, it turned out to be a magnificent underground palace!
The hall was filled with smoke and incense.

The colorful gems inlaid on the walls sparkled in the candlelight.

The towering dragon pillars and the auspicious carvings of dragons and phoenixes all demonstrate the royal style.

The most eye-catching thing is the throne in the center of the hall!
All I saw was gold carvings and jade inlays, which were dazzling.

The exquisite jade pendant hung on the throne, emitting colorful rays of light, which was very beautiful.

However, before everyone had time to appreciate it, something strange happened again!
With a creaky sound, the two heavy doors of the palace slowly opened.

Along with waves of biting cold, a figure in a black robe walked in slowly.

Looking closely, it turned out to be an old man with a green face, fangs and a ferocious look! Looking more carefully, it turned out to be just a mask.

The eyes behind the mask were shining with a frightening brilliance.

"You greedy ants, are you going to steal the treasure? You are so bold!"

The old and ethereal voice sounded again, but it was full of mockery.

"My family has been guarding here for many years, and I have never seen such people who overestimate their own abilities! Well, today I will let you experience my methods, and see if you dare to act rashly again!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible pressure enveloped them, trying to suppress them all!
All of a sudden, everyone felt dizzy and unable to move, as if they were in a fog.

Only Lin Qiye held on with his cultivation and Qilin bloodline, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Everyone, don't panic. Relax and don't be overwhelmed by his momentum." He lowered his voice, trying to calm his companions.

But at this moment, everyone could no longer control themselves. They knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please spare us, old senior! We are not here to steal treasures, we just want to find out the whereabouts of the Moon Shadow Ancient Country!"

"Yes, I was just curious at the moment. I didn't mean any harm. I hope you can show some mercy, old man!"

The pleas were clearly completely suppressed by the old man's aura.

Even Wu Jing, who was always brave and strong, was unable to resist and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

At the same time, there was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room.

"What the hell is going on? Why did Lin Qiye and his group kneel down as soon as they entered the palace?"

"It seems that the old man has great power. He subdued them all in one encounter!"

"No way? Lin Qiye can't handle it either? Isn't it said that the Qilin bloodline is invincible?"

"Any master in the ancient tomb must have practiced for at least one or two thousand years. Who dares to call himself a senior? I'm afraid Lin Qiye will have to bow his head this time!"

"No! He is our only hope! If all of us are killed here, won't this expedition be a waste?"

Countless comments flooded the screen, and everyone was worried about Lin Qiye.

This situation is more difficult than any crisis we have encountered before! (End of this chapter)
