"Damn it, what happened?" A group of people were terrified.

"Not good, it's a trap! That treasure box earlier must have been some mechanism, but it got smashed, triggering the mechanism."

The Thirteenth Young Master's face was also extremely grim. He couldn't believe that not only did they fail to gain any treasure, but they also inexplicably activated a prohibited trap.

This was really too unlucky.

The ground slightly trembled, and then a group of Yin Soldiers climbed out from beneath, carrying a cold aura, and quickly rushed towards the Shen Family martial artists.

"Get lost!"

In an instant, shouts of anger and the sounds of battle erupted continuously.

"What happened over there?"

The people from Divine Sword Manor had chosen another path, so they weren't too clear about what was happening with the Shen Family.

However, from the moment they entered the tomb, they'd already begun to plant martial artists to secretly monitor the Shen Family.

So very quickly, news was relayed back.

"Oh, you're saying they opened an empty treasure box, and someone else smashed it, triggering a prohibition trap."

Elder Lie Huo squinted upon hearing this, then spoke loudly to the disciples of Divine Sword Manor.

"This ancient tomb is extremely dangerous, so don't casually destroy things. Even if you discover a treasure box, you must report it immediately."

Whether there is treasure is a small matter, but if a powerful trap is triggered, that could be troublesome.

All the surrounding disciples nodded, as they also heard the furious shouts coming from the nearby Shen Family disciples.

It's likely that those traps are not simple at all.

After instructing these disciples, Elder Lie Huo and Xiao Fan led the group onward once more.

However, they hadn't walked for long when they also discovered a treasure box in the corner of the wall.

This treasure box was hidden among a pile of rocks and bones, very covertly. If not for the meticulous search by Divine Sword Manor's people, it might not have been found.

"Elder, there's a treasure box!"

A disciple of Divine Sword Manor shouted, very excited.

Upon hearing this, Elder Lie Huo's expression also changed, and he instantly flickered to the vicinity.

Surrounding Divine Sword Manor disciples, upon hearing this, also swiftly flew over.

"Be careful not to fall into a trap." Xiao Fan, carrying a giant red sword, said in a deep voice.

Elder Lie Huo nodded, then gathered several senior figures to cautiously probe and research.

Before long, Elder Lie Huo suddenly grinned.

"Young Master Fan, we have checked, and this treasure box hasn't been opened."

"Which means, what's inside is still there!"

Never been opened!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's eyebrows lifted, showing a hint of interest.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Be careful, open it slowly."

The surrounding disciples also held their breath.

Crack!

A deep sound rang out, and then the treasure box was opened.

But in the next moment, the smile on Elder Lie Huo's face vanished, replaced by a hint of horror.

"Damn it, it's a trap!"

Along with this roar, a cloud of gray mist flew out from the treasure box, spreading rapidly in all directions.

"Not good, it's poisonous gas, quickly hold your breath!"

Elder Lie Huo was furious, then his figure swept backward.

Thump! Thump!

Several disciples fell to the ground, their faces pitch black.

"Not good, they've been poisoned!"

"Damn it, what kind of poison is this, so terrifying!"

The disciples of Divine Sword Manor were horrified; even the weakest among them had Fifth-layered Heaven Venerable strength, yet they were knocked down in moments. They had never heard of such a poison before.

Elder Lie Huo released a twin palm gesture, from which a fire dragon roared out quickly, flying forward.

The fire dragon circled, dispersing the gray mist, and then brought back the few unconscious disciples.

However, in the moment of rescue, several more disciples were enveloped by the poisonous gas, wavering on their feet.

"Damn it, what kind of poison is this?"

A senior accidentally touched the gray poisonous gas, and instantly, his skin turned pitch black.

This senior was a Sixth-Realm Venerable, and he roared, unleashing a series of light shadows, but as they entered the gray mist, they sank like a stone in the ocean with no effect.

"Humph!"

Xiao Fan snorted coldly, drew the giant red sword from his back, and slashed down.

Instantly, countless strands of Sword Qi, like a fiery sword rain, flew out from the massive sword body, quickly filling the entire space.

This Sword Qi was extremely sharp and carried a strong fire attribute aura, as if burning like a fierce flame.

In an instant, it completely driving away the poisonous gas.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan was there; otherwise, if the poisonous gas had infected them, they would not have been able to survive.

After eliminating the gray poisonous gas, Xiao Fan coldly asked: "Elder Lie Huo, do you know what kind of poisonous gas this is?"

"If I guessed correctly, this should be corpse poison." Elder Lie Huo's face looked grim.

"Corpse poison?" Xiao Fan frowned.

"Yes, corpse poison!"

"And it's a poisonous gas formed from the burning of the corpses of more than ten Seventh Layer Venerables, this poison gas is extremely terrifying."

"Fortunately, Young Master Fan, you cultivate Earth-grade Martial Arts using Fiery Flame Sword Skill, which not only has powerful attack power but also uses the fire attribute, a yang force, making it able to easily disperse this corpse poison."

"Otherwise, we would have been in danger."

"I understand."

Xiao Fan nodded, then sent several streaks of fiery Sword Qi into the bodies of the poisoned disciples to help them purge the poison.

After half an incense stick's time, the poison gas on the faces of these disciples gradually faded away.

The people were also slowly coming to life.

Although the poisoned disciples were okay now, the people of Divine Sword Manor could not feel happy.

Because they had just entered this ancient tomb and had already fallen into a trap, almost causing large-scale casualties.

This was something they hadn't anticipated at all before.

"It seems this ancient tomb is even trickier than we imagined." Xiao Fan said solemnly.

"Yes, I suppose the previous person to come already saw through this trap and so didn't touch that treasure box."

"It's laughable that we thought we found treasure, but ended up in a trap." Elder Lie Huo sighed.

"We haven't been here long, and both we and the Shen Family have encountered traps. It seems whoever came before us is even more cunning than we imagined."

"Let's move on, I suspect there's no treasure left on this path."

Xiao Fan shook his head, then led the way, quickly heading deeper into the ancient tomb.

This time, he no longer paid attention to the sights on either side because he knew that whatever was left would only be traps.

On the other side, the Shen Family martial artists were also quickly proceeding.

Meng Tian, Dugu Aotian, and another merely observed without taking action. But upon learning of the Shen Family and Divine Sword Manor's situations, they quickly abandoned their previous plans.

They must quickly find the person who entered before them, or else the treasures here would have nothing to do with them.

In their hasty pursuit, the Thirteenth Young Master's face became increasingly cold because, after so long, he still hadn't found any trace of that person.

During this process, they discovered more than a dozen treasure boxes, but without exception, they had all been taken away.

"Damn it, when I find that detestable guy, I swear I'll make him cough up all the treasures he swallowed!"

The Thirteenth Young Master's eyes were filled with killing intent, for the other party was truly despicable, not leaving them a single piece of treasure.

A grand group surged forward quickly towards the depths of the ancient tomb.
