Chapter 5052

When she reached the stone platform, the woman in the white robe took a deep breath, then slowly stepped onto it.

At the same time, a ball of scorching light formed in her hands, ready to strike at any moment in case the two warrior statues attacked. But as she stepped onto the platform, the statues remained motionless.

Seeing this, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on?” Tianci frowned, looking slightly embarrassed.

With a wave of her hand, the woman in white signaled the three black-robed elders to come forward. They approached the stone platform cautiously—but the warrior statues still didn’t react.

Once the members of Shura Hall had safely reached the platform, Tianci grew impatient.

“Elder Tong, I’ll try next…” Tianci said.

“Let’s go together. I suspect these two statues won’t attack anymore,” Elder Tong replied, stepping onto the platform.

Tianci followed closely behind, with Mo Qingyun beside him.

To their relief, the statues didn’t move. Tianci glanced at them, visibly surprised, but avoided staring for too long.

“Ah… this is so unfair…”

The man in green lay on the ground, severely injured.

Seeing everyone else safely on the platform, he was stunned.

“Why? Why did they only target me?” he shouted in anger and disbelief.

“I told you—it’s because you’re not handsome enough,” Kai said casually.

Puff—

The man in green was so enraged he coughed up blood and passed out.

But no one paid him any attention. They weren’t related to him, and no one was willing to waste time on someone irrelevant.

Everyone stood silently on the stone platform, staring at the three coffins before them.

The blood-red glow flowing across the coffins and the strong stench of blood left them puzzled.

The woman in white immediately released her divine sense, trying to probe what was inside.
But spiritual sense couldn’t penetrate the coffins at all. The moment it touched them, it vanished completely.

Everyone tried, but it was useless.

Kai believed his spiritual sense was the strongest among them, yet even he couldn’t pierce through the coffins—so the others stood no chance.

The woman in the white robe examined the strange runes carved on the surface, but she couldn’t make sense of them.

Elder Tong slowly crouched down, studying the markings closely. Tianci stood nearby, watching silently, not daring to interrupt.

Kai quietly pulled Mo Qingyun aside.

If anything unusual happened with the coffins, they could at least retreat in time.

Although ancient relics offered great opportunities, they were often accompanied by danger. After all, risk and reward always went hand in hand.

“Senior, do you know which sect this relic belonged to?” Kai asked the Red Cloud Demon Lord.

“I have no idea. How would I know anything about a relic from the Second Heaven? Don’t forget—I’m from the Ninth Heaven,” the Red Cloud Demon Lord replied, shaking his head.

“You weren’t born in the Ninth Heaven. Can’t I just ask?” Kai rolled his eyes.

“Damn it, I was born in the Ninth Heaven!” the Red Cloud Demon Lord roared.

Kai was speechless…

This guy’s so lucky—it’s like being born in Rome…

Meanwhile, Elder Tong continued examining the runes, while the people from Shura Palace watched with bated breath.

They knew that, among everyone here, only Elder Tong understood formation techniques.

The runes on the coffins were likely formation seals.

Using the same method he’d employed to open the stone door, Elder Tong began to apply it again—this time to unlock the three coffins.

Seeing this, Kai tugged Mo Qingyun and quietly moved beneath the stone platform.

If breaking the formation triggered something—and a huge “zongzi” monster jumped out—it would be a serious problem.
