Bai Xian'er was confused for a moment, unable to see what kind of secrets this beautiful stone statue contained.
Just when the two were confused, a thick black mist suddenly floated out from the beautiful stone statue.
"Careful!"
Ye Qing's heart tightened, and he took Bai Xian'er and took a step back immediately, holding the fairy sword Jingyun in his hand, with a look of vigilance on his face.
Although this black mist contained an extremely terrifying power, it did not seem to pose any threat to them.
The black mist floated in front of them, but stopped abruptly without moving forward even half a step.
Instead, it condensed into a row of writing directly in mid-air.
"This is the statue of the Holy King. It was forged by Yun Gezi, the master of stone forging. It contains one ten thousandth of the spiritual power of the Holy King."
Seeing this row of handwriting, Ye Qing and Bai Xianer were immediately stunned.
"Stone Statue of the Holy King?"
"This...how is this possible?!"
Bai Xian'er said in astonishment, "We have seen the stone statue of the Holy King before in the Hall of Holy Sound."
"But the shape of that stone statue is clearly that of a giant orc with two legs and a head."
"How is it possible...that she could be such a graceful and beautiful image?"
Ye Qing frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This means that one of this stone statue and the stone statue on the top of the Hall of Holy Sound has deceived us."
"Maybe the Holy King is not a giant orc, but a beauty like this..."
For a moment, Ye Qing's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, and speculations passed through his mind, but he denied them one by one.
Bai Xian'er was silent for a moment and said weakly, "Benefactor, do you think this stone statue... could be the wife of the Holy King?"
"It's not like that."
Ye Qing shook his head and murmured, "I always feel that there must be an extremely close connection between this stone statue and the Holy King, and it is even closer than the relationship between husband and wife."
"But I have no way of knowing what the specific situation is."
"Well, since you don't understand, let's use the sword to ask questions."
Having said that, Ye Qing stopped thinking about it and waved the celestial sword Jingyun in his palm, and a sharp sword beam shot out.
"Troubled times!"
The sword light went straight towards the stone statue, and it exploded with a loud bang, raising a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke.
Ye Qing's eyes were fixed on the smoke in front of him, trying to get some clues.
After a moment, a dazzling golden light burst out and flew straight towards them.
Ye Qing frowned and suddenly waved his hand, holding the golden light in his palm.
He opened his palm and took a closer look. The golden light flying towards him was a golden elixir.
The golden elixir exudes a pure and holy power, which is completely different from the aura exuded by the other four guardians in the ancient forbidden land.
It made Ye Qing feel like it was taken from an immortal.
"The power of this golden elixir is so miraculous."
Bai Xian'er also saw the clues, frowned slightly, and murmured, "If this stone statue is really the Holy King, then could this golden elixir be one ten thousandth of the Holy King's spiritual power?"< br>
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Ye Qing smiled slightly and put the golden elixir into the storage ring.
"Anyway, by getting rid of the lava statue, we have completed half of the task of saving the ruthless empress."
"Now, we should help her unlock the seal of Yin and make her feel a little happy."
...Immediately, Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er set off immediately, leaving the North Courtyard and heading straight to the Atrium.
Arriving at the atrium, Ye Qing searched for a while but found no trace of the mountain god, so he headed straight towards the temple.
Arriving at the temple, before Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er could speak, they heard the ruthless empress's voice.
"I didn't expect that you actually did it."
The cold face of the ruthless empress clearly showed excitement at this time, and she said with emotion, "With just the strength of the two of you, you can really kill the four guardians and gather four spirits to break the seal of Yin. Pearl.”
"It seems that my guess is correct. You are indeed the ones destined to save me!"
"Of course, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."
Ye Qing took out four spirit beads, floated them in his palm, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, how can I save you now?"
"You don't have to do anything, just integrate these four spiritual beads into the light wall to unlock the seal of Yin."
"Okay, it's quite simple."
Ye Qing smiled and nodded, then waved his hand casually, letting the four spirit beads float into the air.
The four spirit beads floated to the four directions of east, west, north and south respectively, and merged into the four light curtains.
The originally indestructible light curtain slowly disappeared after being integrated into this spiritual bead, as if a key had been inserted into a shrinkage hole.
As the light curtains on all sides disappeared, the seal of Yin was lifted, and a strong wind blew instantly in the entire hall.
“Have fun!”
The ruthless empress, who had always been aloof before, couldn't help but show excitement at this time, and said loudly, "I haven't seen this kind of relaxing feeling for a long time!"
“Have fun!”
The ruthless empress shouted in shock, and the strong wind in the temple instantly became more fierce, even so strong that it became physical.
Both Ye Qing and Bai Xian'er couldn't help but take a step back, with thin strands of cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
The strength of the ruthless empress is indeed terrifying.
After only getting rid of one layer of seals and another layer of Yang seal, such a powerful aura burst out.
Ye Qing could feel that the ruthless empress was definitely one of the best among the immortal emperors in the ancient and modern immortal world.
If she waits until the Yang Seal is also sealed, her terrifying power will definitely be enough to sweep across the ancient forbidden land in an instant.
"Thank you both for working so hard to help me lift the seal."
The ruthless empress smiled lightly and said, "In return, I will give this to you."
After saying that, the ruthless empress took out a jade slip from her arms, shuttled directly out of the Yang Seal, and fell into Ye Qing's hands.
Feeling the pure power emanating from the jade slip, Ye Qing asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
The ruthless empress smiled lightly and said: "This is my original technique, called "Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique". It can refine and swallow all defeated enemies and turn them into spiritual power for my own use."
"Oh?"
Ye Qing wondered, "With such a good technique, why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
"If I could have possessed this skill just now and swallowed and absorbed the power of the four guardians, I might have directly broken through the Immortal King by now."
The ruthless empress smiled and said, "First of all, I didn't know your strength just now, so I couldn't fully trust you."
"If I teach you this "Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique", but it falls into the hands of the four guardians, wouldn't I lose more than I gain?"
"Secondly, if I want to transmit my skills, I can only break through one layer of seal at most."
"But just now when the Yin Seal still existed, I couldn't give it to you even if I wanted to." (End of Chapter)
