Chapter 412: Secret Manual Room 9

Thus, the trio of miserable souls looked at each other, each with a bitter face, and shuffled forward step by step.

Bei Chenying sighed resentfully in his heart: Why didn't his mother give birth to him as a girl in this life? This differential treatment was far too severe… Chatting and laughing along the way, they walked for an unknown amount of time before the group of five reached the end of the road.

Along the way, they indeed didn't encounter any Demonic Beasts, not even a first-rank one; it was so safe it was almost boring.

At the end of the road was a stone door.

Above the stone door were three eye-catching characters: Secret Manual Room.

Finally having found the place, everyone felt a sense of relief.

However, they didn't know that this was merely the beginning.

Approaching the stone door, Su Luo was surprised to find that it wasn't an ordinary stone door, but was made of special Materials.

White as mutton-fat jade, the material was cold and hard; a faint chill emanated from the door, interwoven with Spiritual Qi, and a punch would first be bounced back by a transparent light screen.

"There is a Seal on the stone door, and it's very strong." Nangong Liuyun concluded after observing for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

"Then what should we do? Can it be broken?" Su Luo asked with some concern.

To have Nangong Liuyun use the words "very strong" to describe it, it was evident that the Seal was truly difficult to crack.

Nangong Liuyun's playful expression had turned serious and solemn. He pondered for a long while and said slowly, "I'll give it my best shot."

Su Luo, Bei Chenying, and the others stepped back a few paces, leaving Nangong Liuyun standing alone before the stone door.

Nangong Liuyun's expression was cold and focused, his eyes like lightning, as he meticulously observed the Inscriptions on the stone door inch by inch, from top to bottom and left to right, his mouth seemingly calculating something.

The surroundings became very quiet.

Time passed bit by bit… it took even longer than cracking the door to the main hall earlier.

Su Luo, Bei Chenying, and the others were all getting a bit anxious.

The Purple Fish Palace wouldn't wait for anyone; after twelve double-hours, it would automatically disappear from the sea surface.

At that time, if they were trapped in the stone room and couldn't get out, they could forget about ever leaving the Purple Fish Palace in this lifetime.

Su Luo calculated the time; the time they had left was less than one double-hour.

Nangong Liuyun stood for a long time when suddenly, a strange light flashed across his face, and his perfect diamond-shaped lips curled up slightly; he was clearly in a good mood.

He was seen forming hand Seals in front of his chest, and one complex Seal after another flew from his hands, shooting into the Inscriptions on the stone door.

"Chi chi chi—"

A faint sound came from the door.

The Seals Nangong Liuyun formed seemed to have a powerful corrosive effect; where he pointed, the transparent Protective Barrier on the stone door was immediately corroded away.

The Seals were small, like black tadpoles.

It wasn't just one or two, but countless tiny black dots.

Spreading across the surface and crawling everywhere, the white light screen was soon covered with black dots.

The black dots continued to spread and expand until they nearly covered the entire Protective Barrier.

Finally, the Protective Barrier, which had turned black, began to shake violently and crack. The cracks grew larger until, with a crashing sound, the once indestructible Protective Barrier finally burst into fragments and vanished into the air.

Su Luo finally let out a breath.

"Hua la la—"

With a slight noise, the tightly closed doors slowly opened to both sides.

Just then, a sudden, hurried sound of footsteps came from outside.

Su Luo turned her head to look, and her expression immediately became somewhat complicated.
