'Good heavens, even a heifer knows how to flirt.'

'Who can tolerate this?'

'I must punish her on the spot!'

The commotion delayed them for more than two hours.

After regrouping, Zhao Mu continued hunting.

Half a day later.

The terrain of the canyon suddenly became flat. It seemed that they had reached the end.

After passing through the entire canyon, the scene that appeared in front of them surprised Zhao Mu.

There was actually an ancient stone city here.

However, the city had been abandoned for a long time. Even the sturdiest rock had obvious traces left behind by the baptism of time.

"Strange, judging from the degree of weathering of the stone, this ancient city has been abandoned for at least 100,000 years. However, this Magical Beast Mystic Realm has only been created for 8,000 years. How could this ancient city appear in the mystic realm?" Niu Yulan also found something strange.

Zhao Mu said, "Is it possible that the mighty expert who created this Magical Beast Mystic Realm back then cut out a piece of land from the outside world and placed it in the mystic realm?"

"If you put it that way, it's possible."

Niu Yulan nodded.

The two of them walked straight into the ancient stone city. There were no Magical Beasts here, but they unexpectedly encountered many Devil Sect disciples.

Obviously, they were also attracted by this ancient stone city.

"It's really strange. I've participated in several Hunting Days and have been to this place several times. But I've never seen such an ancient city here before." A thick-headed Yao cultivator patted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

A horse-faced cultivator also muttered, "Although this is my first time going so deep into the mystic realm, I've participated in hundreds of hunting days and have never heard of any ruins here. Could it be that this ruin that suddenly appeared was built by Magical Beasts?"

"Take a closer look. Although these weathering traces look very natural, if you look closely, you'll still find traces of artificial polishing."

A human cultivator squatted down and stared at a square stone door beam.

His words aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all went over to take a look.

Zhao Mu also felt that it was a little unbelievable. He went up to check the situation with Niu Yulan.

When everyone saw Zhao Mu, they immediately put on a vigilant expression.

Only the human cultivator saw Zhao Mu and immediately became happy. "Senior Brother Zhao, I've heard a lot about you. You're also curious about the stone city ruins. Sorry, you haven't been in the Devil Sect for long. This is your first time participating in the Day of Hunting, right? I've been in the Devil Sect for more than five hundred years and experienced more than four hundred Day of Hunting. I can guarantee that this stone city definitely only appeared recently.

This guy was quite talkative. He didn't give Zhao Mu a chance to speak at all.

"Right!"

The human cultivator suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Senior brother Zhao, as a human Heaven's Pride, you're quite strong, maybe you can break through that sealed stone door"

"A sealed stone door?

Where? "Zhao Mu asked curiously.

That person was about to speak when he suddenly glanced at the surrounding demon cultivators. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Mu, "Senior Martial Brother Zhao, let's talk somewhere else."

Zhao Mu nodded.

It seemed like this guy had some exclusive information.

The few demons realized that something was amiss. However, after hesitating and struggling, they did not dare to follow.

Zhao Mu's name had been spreading far and wide recently. He was the most popular person in the Saint Essence Devil Sect. Even the Empress Qing Yun was alerted by him. It would be unwise to make an enemy out of him right now. It was better to take a step back and calm down.

Before long, Zhao Mu and the human cultivator arrived at a dilapidated wall nearby.

"Hello, Senior Martial Brother Zhao. I'm Xu Yang, an inner sect disciple of the Array Valley. I've seen you once before. You're young and you left a deep impression on me."

Although Xu Yang claimed to have been in the sect for five hundred years, his cultivation wasn't high. He was only at the Eighth-Order Core Formation Realm. His appearance looked slightly weathered. Although he didn't show any signs of old age, his skin was dark and rough. It seemed that he had been walking outside all year round and had experienced a lot of wind and sun.

"Since we're from the same sect, there's no need to beat around the bush. What's the sealed stone door you mentioned just now?" Zhao Mu asked straightforwardly.

Xu Yang was about to speak when he suddenly glanced at Niu Yulan, who was beside Zhao Mu, and his gaze turned vigilant.

"There's no harm in saying it. She's my trusted aide." Zhao Mu grabbed Niu Yulan's hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.

Niu Yulan's heart warmed. Her eyes were filled with Zhao Mu, and she completely ignored Xu Yang's existence.

Seeing this, Xu Yang no longer hesitated and said, "Actually, I arrived at the ruins of this stone city yesterday. At first, I suspected that this stone city existed before the construction of the Sealed World, but later, I found many traces of artificial polishing, so I guessed that this ancient city was recently built to imitate ancient times. However, I couldn't produce any crucial evidence. But last night, after digging three feet underground, I found a stone door buried underground. The stone door was extremely thick and was sealed by the power of a Spirit Array. Although I cracked the Spirit Array on the stone door, it was too heavy. I couldn't push it open with my strength …"

At this point, Zhao Mu roughly understood Xu Yang's meaning.

"Lead the way. I'll try to break open the stone door."

"Senior Brother Zhao, please!"

Xu Yang was overjoyed. With a Human Race heaven's pride like Zhao Mu, it shouldn't be difficult to break open the stone door.

He was full of curiosity about the truth hidden behind the stone door.

Just as the three of them were moving, Zhao Mu keenly noticed that the Monster Cultivators were following them from a distance.

Zhao Mu's eyes turned cold and he blasted a palm in the direction of the Monster Cultivators. Suddenly, flames soared into the sky. Wherever the palm wind passed, the stone houses collapsed and the ground cracked. Rolling heat waves surged endlessly, scaring the Monster Cultivators into fleeing in panic.

After chasing away the thieves, Zhao Mu and the others continued moving forward. Soon, Xu Yang brought them to a relatively well-preserved stone house.

In the center of the stone house, there was a staircase that led underground. It spiraled all the way down to four or five floors.

At the bottom of the stairs was the stone door that Xu Yang had mentioned.

The stone door was simple and unadorned. There was nothing special about it, but Zhao Mu could see the problem at a glance.

Zhao Mu found the materials used to build the stone door very familiar.

It was the same type of ore that he had excavated in the Sea of Corrosion.

This type of ore was extremely dense, heavy, and sturdy. Even a Grade 8 flying sword would find it difficult to leave a clear mark on it.

It was no wonder that Xu Yang couldn't open a stone door made of this kind of ore.

"It's just a door. How can it not open? Let me try."

Niu Yulan volunteered.

She was born in the Demonic Bull Clan, so her strength was not ordinary. This was something that Zhao Mu had experienced when they were exploring the cave.

There was no harm in letting her try.

Niu Yulan rolled up her sleeves, revealing two fair and tender arms.

Niu Yulan's seemingly weak arm, in the instant she exerted her strength, it exploded with a force of ten thousand catties.

Patter!

The stone door hadn't been pushed open yet, but the ground beneath her feet had already split into an even crack, and her two legs had sunk deep into the ground.

Niu Yulan's eyes widened in shock.

"What a hard rock. I'm afraid I can't do it. I'll leave it to you."

As expected, Niu Yulan admitted defeat.

Actually, she still had some strength left. If she went all out, it wouldn't be a problem for her to increase her strength by thirty to forty percent.

However, in front of the person she loved, she didn't want to reveal too much of her barbaric side.

In front of Junior Brother Zhao, she was more suitable to be a gentle and weak woman.
