At this point, no one else said anything and everyone walked forward silently.
However, this time, apart from their own family and sect members, everyone else stayed away from their "companions."
Everyone ensured a safe distance.
No one dared to get too close for fear of being ambushed.
The earlier chaotic battle had erased all trust; just a spark could ignite another explosive conflict.
In front of the "Geng Metal Sword Array" was a stone-paved path, about one mile long.
It could allow seven or eight people to walk side by side.
On either side of this stone path, there were trees and flowers planted.
These trees and flowers were ancient spirit plants, thousands of years old.
Everyone looked at these plants with some desire.
However, a few palaces ahead were even more enticing.
With something more captivating ahead, none of the cultivators wanted to complicate things by picking the spirit plants.
Of course, one major reason was the "Geng Metal Sword Array," which had shown immense power, killing hundreds, and scaring the survivors.
They were afraid of damaging the greenery and triggering new restrictions and arrays.
If that happened, their lives would certainly be at risk!
One mile was a short distance; before long, everyone arrived outside a courtyard wall.
The vermillion gate in the middle was three feet high, with a plaque above it, bearing the words "Wave Watching Sea Pavilion."
"Maybe this place wasn’t underground back in the day but on the island above?"
Everyone had this thought.
But times had changed; what was once there had long become a distant memory, and people and things were no longer the same.
"I wonder which Golden Core Realm bigshot resided here?"
Li Yunjing also felt sentimental, "Such a person ultimately turned into dust; how difficult is the path of cultivation?"
"Who will push the door open?"
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator suddenly asked.
Suddenly, those Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators unconsciously took a few steps back, distancing themselves from the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators at the front.
"Humph! A bunch of cowards! I’ll do it!"
Looking disdainfully at the Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators, a tall Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in red stepped forward, holding a Copper Hammer Magical Artifact.
His words did not make the Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators feel ashamed; instead, they all breathed a sigh of relief, showing a look of relief.
Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and the other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators all looked at this person.
They saw him not activating the magical artifact or smashing it towards the gate with its power.
Instead, he carefully held the hammer handle, placing the round hammer tip against the gate, and pushed inward.
The gate shook twice but couldn’t be opened; it seemed there was a latch inside, making it impossible to push open from the outside.
The tall Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, seeing this, held the copper hammer and retreated, asking for others’ opinions.
He wasn’t foolish; after testing it, he came back.
He couldn’t do this alone!
"Um... why don’t you give it a try?"
At this, others couldn’t help but shake their heads and ask him.
Pushing the door in was still normal.
You want to climb over the wall?
Which cultivator, which family doesn’t have corresponding defense mechanisms?
Even the extremely secure "Qiuwu Manor" of Li Yunjing had countless restrictions on its walls, attacking anyone trying to break in.
Ordinary families, sects, or individuals are like that, let alone the Dao Field of a Golden Core Realm cultivator?
You want to climb the wall? You’re seeking death!
Although everyone hadn’t seen what the restrictions were yet, they knew in their hearts that if it were their own Dao Field, would they allow others to climb in?
They would definitely place their most formidable defenses there, to absolutely and thoroughly kill anyone who dared to offend their dignity!
This fool’s question was downright stupid!
Sure enough, questioned by everyone, this person fell silent.
As for sending Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators to scout?
If it triggered the restrictions, who knows how much trouble it would cause, better to find a way to open the gate first, then have those Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators walk ahead to scout!
Wang Zi, after thinking for a moment, said to everyone, "We can’t just wait here forever! Let’s force the door open!"
He proposed this; after thinking about it, others couldn’t come up with a better idea, so they nodded in agreement.
The Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators, seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief and approached the gate under the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators’ orders, forming a fan shape around it.
After everyone was ready, they all attacked simultaneously; the booming attacks hit the two vermillion gates.
As expected, the gates immediately glowed with divine light, but faced with so many concentrated attacks, they didn’t last as long as the outer stone gate.
In only ten breaths, they completely shattered, the pieces falling inside.
Everyone looked through the broken gate into a front courtyard.
"Let’s go! Everyone, let’s go inside and take a look."
Zhu Family expert Zhu Danhong smiled, "But loose cultivator friends, you’ve worked hard, you should be the first to explore this Golden Core Realm cultivator’s abode."
"That’s a good suggestion!"
Immediately, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator agreed.
The cold-faced Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who had previously threatened the Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators to scout spoke threateningly again.
