Meet, meet again!

Stepping through an iron shoe without finding a trace, obtaining something without any effort.

This perfectly described the inner thoughts of Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the two little beasts. They had been searching for the mechanism for a long time, and now they easily opened the stone door...

Before Bai Li Hong Zhuang could step out of the chamber, a surprised voice reached her ears.

"Hong Zhuang, you finally appeared!"

Such a lively and joyful voice could only belong to Xia Zhiqing besides Bai Li Hong Zhuang.

In the next moment, Bai Li Hong Zhuang fell into an embrace. "Hong Zhuang, I haven't seen you in the ruins for so long. I thought something happened to you."

Xia Zhiqing's eyes were filled with concern. "Are you alright?"

Seeing Xia Zhiqing, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was also overjoyed. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Seeing that you're alright, I feel relieved too."

When she saw Zhiqing and the others trapped in the illusion, she had been very worried. But now, as she walked out of the stone chamber and saw Xia Zhiqing standing before her unharmed, she couldn't help but feel a wave of joy.

Immediately, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's gaze wandered to the back, looking for Emperor Beichen. He had been trapped in the chamber just like her, and she wondered if he had come out.

"My lady, were you looking for me?" Emperor Beichen's deep and charming voice carried a hint of teasing and ambiguity as he smiled at Bai Li Hong Zhuang.

A flash of delight crossed Bai Li Hong Zhuang's bright and dark phoenix eyes, and a smile bloomed on her lips.

As long as Emperor Beichen was fine, she would be at ease.

"Hong Zhuang, how long were you inside?" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but ask.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled helplessly. "I was trapped inside. I couldn't find a way out for a while, but I managed to escape just now."

As Bai Li Hong Zhuang answered, she also observed her surroundings. She realized that all the cultivators had gathered here. However, the environment was no longer the same as the entrance to the chamber she had entered initially. It seemed like a completely different place.

"Why is everyone here?" Bai Li Hong Zhuang asked with confusion. According to her understanding, she had been trapped in the chamber for so long that all the treasures in the ruins should have been looted by now. So why were they still gathered here?

"Oh." Xia Zhiqing sighed. "I've been here for more than ten days already. After we opened the folding fan door, there's supposed to be the main hall where the most valuable treasures are. But this stone door is so strange that we can't open it at all."

"You know how rare this ancient relic is. Until everyone finds the ultimate inheritance, they naturally don't want to leave. That's why everyone has gathered here, and you're the last one to arrive."

Bai Li Hong Zhuang finally understood. Her gaze fell on the huge stone door in front of her.

Compared to the small chamber she had just come out of, this stone door was enormous. It was adorned with exquisite and intricate patterns, exuding a sense of purity and divinity that captivated one's attention.

At the same time, Gong Shaoqing and the others also approached Bai Li Hong Zhuang. Their familiar faces were filled with concern and relief at the same time.

"Hong Zhuang, luckily you're safe," Zhan Yunfeng smiled and said, "We were all worried sick."

Only then did Bai Li Hong Zhuang notice that Zhan Yunfeng and Cui Haoyan were injured. "What happened to both of you?"
