Thinking of this, Qin Cheng took out a pill bottle and threw it in front of the old man.

The gray-haired old man hesitated for a moment before taking out the elixir inside.

This poisonous elixir is dark brown in color. After taking it out, it seems that there are many poisonous insects alive in the translucent elixir, and they are constantly changing their appearance inside. It looks numb to the scalp.

The old man gritted his teeth and swallowed it into his throat.

"You two, please let me go now."

Afterwards, Qin Cheng unlocked the seal on the old man.

"My cultivation has returned."

The gray-haired old man was surprised to find that his spiritual energy was constantly improving and soon returned to the level of the second decline in the Tribulation Realm.

He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qin Cheng and Duobao.

"Fellow Taoist, I think you have guessed before that neither of us are monks in Jiuzhou Continent, and we can leave at any time, so I restored your cultivation, but you and I are both smart people. I hope you don't do it

Stupid thing."

After understanding the other party's thoughts, Qin Cheng's voice was cold, which gave the old man a lot of cold water.

The matter of the monks from outside the territory is not a secret at all among the strong men in Jiuzhou Continent, especially the old man who is in the second stage of the Tribulation Realm.

"You are outsider monks."

The gray-haired old man's expression moved. He carefully recalled the conversation between the two and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, you two. I, Xu Kun, am not a fool. I will try my best to help you go to the Shadow Palace and ensure that no one will know your identity again. But what about the antidote to the poison pill?" said the gray-haired old man.

.

"This is easy to handle."

Qin Cheng said and swore directly with his soul.

"Although the soul oath that transcends the tribulation realm has no absolute effect, at least I will not be contaminated by the risk of the inner demon backlash for something that is not beneficial."

"We are just going to get some spirit coins. As long as you cooperate honestly, the antidote will be given to you naturally. Poisoning you will not do us any good."

"Okay."

Xu Kun frowned, knowing that there was no other way.

So he waved his hand and pulled out a spiritual ship from his storage bag.

"You two, I have been away from the Shadow Palace for too long, and I have to go back immediately. Do you want to go to the Shadow Palace now, or leave later? If you do now, you can take my spirit boat."

"Go with you."

Qin Cheng thought for a while and answered directly.

There are only six days left before heading to the Climbing Heaven Meeting. Of course, all preparations must be made as soon as possible.

Besides, I have no other important matters to deal with at the moment. I can also use this time to learn more about the situation in the Shadow Palace from Xu Kun.

The two stepped into the spirit ship. Then they and Xu Kun headed directly into the sky.

After flying for about half a day, until dawn broke, the spirit ship had gradually left Qingzhou, and even entered near the boundary between the territories of humans and monsters.

Along the way, Qin Cheng also learned a lot about the Shadow Palace from Xu Kun.

This guy was worried that the two of them were messing around in the Shadow Palace and would implicate him, so he didn't dare to hide it.

As the spirit ship continued to move forward, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, the human habitation had completely disappeared, and the screams of monsters gradually increased.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, fly about five hundred miles further. There is an entrance to our Shadow Palace."

Seeing that they had already driven away from Qingzhou for a long time, Xu Kun pointed in a direction ahead and introduced.

Qin Cheng nodded and already knew that the location of the Shadow Palace was at the intersection of the three realms of Qingzhou, Xuezhou and the Monster Clan.

"But you are doing these secret transactions in a place like this. Even if you are not in a specific state, Jiuzhou Continent or the Monster Clan, won't you care?" Taoist Duobao asked curiously.

"Haha, you two don't know. The reason why there is such a place is that after the war between the two clans ended, the Venerable was worried about the resumption of disputes between humans and monsters, so he deliberately left some buffers when delimiting the territory.

Zone." Xu Kun smiled.

"And as time went by, human monks would occasionally break in and kill some monsters, or they would commit crimes in Kyushu Continent and escape here. However, the lower monsters from the monster clan lacked intelligence, so they multiplied directly here.

.Cause this kind of place is chaotic and disorderly."

"Neither the Monster Clan nor Kyushu Continent can occupy this place, and there are no resources within the area, so they cleared it several times. After discovering that it was just a waste of people and money, and it was in vain, this kind of land became a headache for them."

"As for our Shadow Palace, although we do not obey the orders of Kyushu Continent or the Monster Clan, our existence here can ensure the stability of this place. We have also made a lot of efforts for this, so whether it is Qingzhou, Seolju, or the Monster Clan,

, just turn a blind eye."

"In other words, they are also happy to do so. Don't think that the monks who come here to participate in transactions or auctions are shady guys. In fact, as far as I know, many of them are very famous strongmen in Kyushu Continent.

"

"So, there is no such clear distinction between good and evil."

Speaking of this, Xu Kun's lips curved into a mocking look.

Qin Cheng shook his head, this is reality.

It is true that the Shadow Palace is not a good thing, but if such a force in the darkness does not exist, this kind of place will only breed more problems.

Now, at least the chaos here is still within a controllable range.

And for some people who consider themselves upright, this is also valuable.

While he was talking, the spirit ship gradually stopped.

Qin Cheng looked down and saw rolling mountains below.

Xu Kun put away the spirit boat and the three of them landed downwards.

At the feet of the three people, there was a seemingly ordinary place in the middle of the mountain, no different from the surrounding area.

Xu Kun took out a token, threw it in the air, and quickly drew out a few spells.

When the mysterious spiritual energy poured into the token, a wonderful scene happened.

After the token absorbed the spiritual energy, it sprinkled a circular mark on the ground.

And under the feet of the three people, on this wasteland, a string of brilliance also lit up at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, not far in front of the three people, a large circular formation emitting space fluctuations rose up.

"This is the void formation."

Taoist Duobao was surprised.

Who would have thought that an entrance to the Shadow Palace would be hidden in such a barren mountain.

And it is not carved on the ground, but carved in the void. The advantage of this is that even if someone accidentally fights here, as long as it is not the kind that tears the void, the formation itself will not be affected.

"You two. If we pass through the teleportation array here, we can get to the Shadow Palace as soon as possible. Otherwise, we have to fly for another two hours. I don't think we should waste time."

Xu Kun smiled slightly and entered the formation first, but his expression had a hint of amusement.

From the looks of it, this guy was testing the two of them to see if they dared to believe his words and reach the Shadow Palace through an unknown teleportation array.
Chapter completed!
