I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Without much hesitation, Zou Mubai pushed open the half-open stone door of the ruins and walked in alone.

Behind the door was a long corridor with weak torches on both sides, illuminating the unknown road ahead. Zou Mubai gathered spiritual power in his hands and took a cautious step forward.

Deep and clear footsteps sounded behind him, giving people a sense of mystery and oppression.

As soon as Zou Mubai reached the end of the corridor, he found a stone wall in front of him with no entrance at all.

"Impossible, that familiar scent is nearby, it's impossible not to find it." Zou Mubai stared at the stone wall, frowning and thinking.

At this moment, his eyes fell on a very tiny bulge on the wall.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, while at the same time his whole body was on alert, ready to avoid danger at any time.

With a sound of "click", when his fingers touched the bulge, the stone wall automatically opened upwards, revealing a dark passage leading downwards.

Zou Mubai paused, took out a fire starter from his arms, and climbed down the ladder in the faint light of the fire.

An incense stick of time after Zou Mubai entered, a petite black figure also followed him into the secret door.

Zou Mubai, who was walking in front, had been paying attention to the road ahead and was alert to his surroundings, fearing that he might accidentally trigger some mechanism. So he didn't notice that someone was following him.

After walking for about another stick of incense, he came to an empty stone chamber.

To be precise, this place is more like a hall. The towering dome is looming in the dim light. The air is also filled with a faint smell of dust, accompanied by the unique damp smell of stone, which makes people hold their breath and stare.

At this moment, a cold wind blew from somewhere and blew out the fire in Zou Mubai's hand.

Just as he was about to light it again, he was surprised to find that the walls around him were glowing with a faint fluorescence.

A closer look revealed lifelike murals carved on it. The people in the paintings were dressed like humans thousands of years ago, and their behavior seemed to be performing some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

Zou Mubai was looking at the murals one by one, when suddenly he stepped on something. With a "crack", a stone brick sank, and dozens of poisoned swords shot towards him.

The arrows glowed a faint blue in the dark, looking like a pair of faint blue eyes.

Zou Mubai reacted quickly and jumped above the stone chamber, avoiding the long arrows.

But before his toes touched the ground, another wave of spiked caltrops shot out from the hole in the wall, like dense raindrops, making it impossible for him to touch the ground.

While Zou Mubai was dodging the mechanism, a dark shadow was staring at this place at the corner of the corridor behind him, and the corners of his mouth covered by the black mask were slightly raised.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that all the mechanisms stopped, the dense shooting holes and crossbow arrows were retracted into the wall, and everything returned to its original state.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zou Mubai descended from the height and stood steadily in the center of the hall.

At the same time as his feet landed on the ground, a stone platform rose up against the wall in the north of the hall, and on the platform was a bundle of bamboo slips floating in the air.

Zou Mubai looked at the bundle of bamboo slips and felt a sense of familiarity and excitement at the same time.

This thing is very similar to Si Yao's aura, could it be left by him?

Zou Mubai quickly approached the stone platform.

But no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the black shadow that suddenly rushed out from the side of the stone platform.

The black shadow flashed, and the scroll that was originally floating in the air on the stone platform disappeared.

Zou Mubai looked coldly at the man in black holding the bamboo slips, his eyes gleaming with coldness: "Who are you?"

The man in black just looked at Zou Mubai deeply, spotted the empty space behind him and was about to rush out, but when he passed by Zou Mubai, he was stopped by the barrier that Zou Mubai quickly formed with his hand.

"Want to run? Leave your stuff behind!"

"Oh? Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." The man in black had a hoarse voice, and his tone sounded like an old man, but his figure looked like a woman.

Zou Mubai's face became even colder when he heard that, and the icy energy in his hand became even stronger. He raised his hand and shot rows of ice blades at the man in black.

The man in black quickly dodged all the ice blades and looked at Zou Mubai provocatively: "With this ability, you still want to keep me? Humph!"

Zou Mubai was irritated.

This was the first person to make him angry in a thousand years.

"Looking for death!" Zou Mubai's lips moved slightly and he uttered two cold words.

At the same time, the man in black felt the temperature around him drop suddenly, and soon he felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

There was surprise and a hint of fear in his eyes.

This person's strength is far beyond his imagination, and now he has hit a wall.

The man in black retreated in fear, then aimed at a stone pillar beside Zou Mubai, and before Zou Mubai could make a move, he quickly slapped the stone pillar.

The stone pillar was shattered with a loud noise, and spider-web-like cracks appeared all over it, quickly extending to the top.

With a "crack", the stone pillar, which was as thick as a person's waist, broke directly.

The man in black seemed unsatisfied and attacked another stone pillar not far from him.

Zou Mubai didn't understand his intention at first, but he understood it immediately after seeing the rocks falling from the top of his head. He quickly approached him, gathered the spiritual power in his hands and discharged it towards the chest of the man in black.

As the spiritual power ball was pushed out, an ice-blue light enveloped the hall.

Zou Mubai only heard a cry of pain and the sound of a body falling to the ground.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were full of pride and understanding.

After a while, the ice-blue light gradually faded away. Zou Mubai searched for the body of the man in black in the hall, wanting to see clearly who was under the black mask, but found that the body was gone.

"How could this happen? Where's the body?"

He has been here all the time and has never left, nor has he sensed the presence of other people, but where did the body of the man in black go?

Could it be that he didn't die and took the opportunity to escape?

No, the exit here was blocked by a barrier and he couldn't run out.

There was a moment of confusion in his eyes, but more of it was disbelief.

Just when he was about to look around, a huge rock suddenly fell on his head, followed by small pieces of stone falling from above his head.

Zou Mubai raised his head and saw that the stone pillars were damaged and the hall was about to collapse.

Zou Mubai had no choice but to quickly remove the barrier, avoid falling rocks and broken wooden beams, run out of the hall, and hurried back to the entrance along the corridor he came from.

Even if the man in black was not dead, he would just guard the entrance and see where he could escape to.

As soon as Zou Mubai ran out, a weak spiritual power fluctuation came from the corner of the hall. A figure suddenly appeared in the corner where no one was just now. It was the man in black who had been seriously injured just now.

He covered his chest, looked up, and staggered out.
