My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

Mo Xingchen took a deep breath and revealed a determined smile under everyone's gaze.

“I can give you a choice,” she said firmly.

"Give me the 'Book of Death,' and agree to one condition, and I will tell you where the divine medicine is."

Chen Ze narrowed his eyes. "What exactly do you want us to do?"

Mo Xingchen smiled mysteriously, "Just promise me that once we leave here safely, no matter what the outcome, I will return the 'Scripture of Death' to you."

They had already learned of the existence of the Book of Death from Boss Bian.

Although Mo Xingchen's offer was tempting, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao remained highly vigilant.

They exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding that this was a difficult choice.

“We should trust her,” Qin Miyue suddenly said.

“Although the risks are great, we are already in a predicament.” “The only thing we can do now is to solve the problem through cooperation.” Chen Ze pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Okay, we accept your terms.” Her voice was firm and resolute.

Tian Siyao turned her gaze to Mo Xingchen, "Then tell us the clues to where the divine medicine is, and explain clearly what the purpose of the 'Scripture of Death' you want is."

Mo Xingchen's smile grew even brighter. "I'm sorry, everyone, I cannot tell you where the divine medicine is."

"But the 'Book of Death' can allow its holder to enter the most dangerous place deep within the Ice Queen's Tomb—the Lake of Bones."

Everyone was shocked. The Burial Lake, as the core of this cemetery, is said to contain mysterious power, but it is also the most dangerous place.

"Since you've agreed to my conditions, let's travel together." A hint of anticipation flashed in Mo Xingchen's eyes.

The group nodded in agreement, realizing that only through cooperation could they unravel the intricate mystery surrounding the "Scripture of Death" and the elixir of immortality.

At this moment, they need to trust and rely on each other.

Following Mo Xingchen's lead, the four resolutely stepped into the depths of the passage.

Ice walls and icicles stand alternately on both sides, creating a depressing and chilling atmosphere.

They began to vigilantly observe their surroundings, ready to face any potential threats at any moment.

In the tense and treacherous passage, they exchanged a silent glance and stood ready for battle.

This decision is not just a matter of life and death.

Furthermore, they are required to perform at their best in harsh environments to protect each other.

Mo Xingchen led Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Qin Miyue to the water's edge.

The four of them gazed silently at the calm, mirror-like pool before them, sensing that it held some unknown secrets.

They knew that this was the key to the connection between the Northern Houses and the Ice Queen's Tomb.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from all around: "Stop! Who gave you permission to continue? You should know this is forbidden territory!"

It turned out that it was Boss Bian who appeared in front of everyone. He coldly surveyed the impending conflict among the Zhou Kingdom onlookers.

"Those who break the rules should be punished!" His voice was threatening, making the already tense atmosphere even more so.

Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Qin Miyue exchanged glances, understanding that President Bian was trying to maintain order.

But at this moment, there is no room for even the slightest distraction or argument.

Everyone focused their attention on the pool, hoping to find clues leading to the unknown depths.

Just then, a glint flashed in Tian Siyao's eyes. She cautiously walked towards the pool and observed the reflection in the water.

She noticed a faint point of light flickering in the very center of the water.

"Look!" Tian Siyao excitedly pointed to the spot of light on the water.

Chen Ze, Qin Miyue, and Mo Xingchen all turned their gazes to the pool.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the light spot was actually a complex pattern. "It's a maze!" Qin Miyue exclaimed in surprise. "It seems we must enter this maze to find the passage to the unknown depths."

Chen Ze frowned. "What should we do?"

After thinking for a moment, Mo Xingchen said, "I've heard that in the aristocratic families of the Northern Territory, there is a medicine that can open the passages of the maze."

"Once we find this drug, we can enter the maze."

Tian Siyao stared intently at Mo Xingchen. "Do you know where this medicine is?" Mo Xingchen smiled and shook his head. "I'm sorry, everyone, I don't know the exact location either, but I'm sure that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to find it."

Although everyone was somewhat disappointed with Mo Xingchen's answer, they also realized that this was their only option in the face of the unknown.

They exchanged a glance and decided to move on.

Just as everyone regained their confidence and prepared to leave the water, General Bian suddenly stepped forward.

"What are you doing?" he asked coldly.

“We need to find clues to enter the maze,” Chen Ze replied without hesitation.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Bian finally nodded, "Then I'll join you too."

Although everyone had doubts and distrust of President Bian's attitude, there was no time or need to argue anymore.

Everyone understood that only by working together could they enter the maze and find unknown clues and passages.

So they set off together, carrying a great mission and facing unpredictable challenges.

Inside the maze, the group searched tirelessly, making wise choices at each fork in the road.

From initial high vigilance to mutual support and trust, they demonstrated unprecedented potential and courage when facing difficulties and dangers.

At the end of the maze, a passage finally appeared before them.

At the end of the passage was a gloomy and solemn open space, in the center of which sat a coffin made of crystal-clear stone with extremely high transparency.

The coffin was inlaid with exquisite gemstones, radiating a mysterious and alluring light.

The group stopped in front of the eerie and mysterious open space.

The area is filled with ancient symbols and carvings, clearly indicating that this was once a site of some kind of ancient ritual.

Tian Siyao frowned slightly, intently observing her surroundings.

"Watch out, everyone! There's a trap!" she warned.

Chen Ze immediately pulled the others back, and everyone looked warily at the steps.

Sure enough, at the edge of the steps, a curious teammate rashly stepped onto the steps and was immediately attacked by the poisonous creature hidden inside.

"He's cursed!" Qin Miyue whispered.

She used her deep knowledge of magical barriers to analyze the environment and suggested using an unusual flower as a guide to cleverly avoid the trap.

Tian Siyao's eyes flickered as she pointed diagonally at the unusual flower blooming on the steps and said:

“Look there, there’s a flower on the steps; it might be the key to unlocking the trap.”

"What should we do?" Chen Ze asked.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Miyue replied, "I can guide us through this trap."

"We can avoid the trap by simply following the guidance of this flower and carefully stepping on the floor where it is directly connected."

After hearing Qin Miyue's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

They knew it was time to deeply appreciate their trust and solidarity with one another.

Mo Xingchen stood next to Tian Siyao and patted her on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Siyao, I believe you can solve this riddle. We're all behind you." (End of Chapter)
