Shangguan Jing took a closer look.

The bronze knocker was exquisitely crafted and had a heavy texture. Although there was already a layer of bronze rust on it, one could vaguely see that there were fine patterns engraved on it.

How could there be such a knocker on a good rock?

Wei Ze pointed at the bronze door knocker and said, “As everyone can see, this stone is quite different from the other stones in the Messy Stone Forest. We guess that it’s very likely to be a door! It might even be the door to open Tang Ke’s tomb!”

The crowd stirred.

Obviously, Wei Ze’s words made them waver.

This guess wasn’t impossible. Although this blood-red boulder looked very strange and didn’t look like a door, the bronze door knocker on it appeared even stranger.

One couldn’t help but think.

“Family Head, may I ask if you’ve tried to enter before?” someone asked.

Wei Ze’s expression became much more solemn as he nodded. “To be honest, we’ve tried many ways, but we still can’t open it. Moreover, there’s an extremely powerful restriction on this bronze door knocker. Once we get close, we’ll trigger a terrifying attack. It’s also because of this that our Wei family has suffered heavy losses…”

They didn’t have much experience at that time. How could they have thought that such a small knocker would be so dangerous?

Hearing his words, many people looked at each other. “…It’s just a door knocker. How can it be so dangerous?”

At least for now, there was nothing special about this thing. There wasn’t even the slightest fluctuation on it.

Hearing this, the corners of Wei Ze’s lips curled up without any smile. “That’s all I have to say. If anyone doesn’t believe me, you can go forward and verify it yourself!”

With that, he walked to the side and gave up his position. It seemed like he was really waiting for someone to go over and give it a try.

After a short silence, a man finally walked forward. “Haha! What the family head said this time really makes people curious! I want to see how powerful this thing is!”

It was an old man with an ancient face. However, his eyes were very bright and flickered with a shrewd and powerful light.

Shangguan Jing didn’t know this person, but judging from his aura, he should be a supreme Armory Refinement Master.

Wei Ze laughed. “Please—”

Everyone’s gazes landed on the old man.

He headed toward the blood-red boulder.

When he was one step ahead, he finally stopped.

He was already so close, but nothing unexpected happened.

He chuckled. “Could it be that I’m fated with Senior Tang Ke…”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the bronze door knocker.

Peng!

A terrifying explosion suddenly sounded! At the same time, a red flame appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the old man’s body!

“Ah—” A short scream of fear came, but it quickly stopped.

The old man’s body began to disappear under the flames at a speed visible to the naked eye! Before anyone could react, the ball of flames disappeared.

As for that old man, he had already died completely. Apart from the few drops of blood that splattered on the ground, there were no traces left behind.

There was still a burning smell in the air—it was very pungent.

Wei Ze sneered in his heart and quickly scanned the area.

Almost everyone was deeply shocked by this scene, and they were unable to recover from their shock for a long time. The supreme Armory Refinement Master… died just like that?!

“The Wei family has already suffered a lot, but you didn’t think much of it before…” Wei Ze shook his head, a look of regret and pain appearing on his face. “Everyone, can you believe that what I said just now was true?”

Dead silence.

Everyone stared at the bronze door knocker again. Their eyes had changed from the initial curiosity and excitement to deep suspicion and shock! What… is this!?

…

At the same time, the void outside the Messy Stone Forest fluctuated. Right on the heels of that, a red scroll appeared.

A few figures walked out—it was Chu Liuyue, Rong Xiu, and the rest.

Chu Liuyue raised her wrist, and the scroll quickly flew back into her hand.

“This Flying Cloud Painting is really useful.” She smiled and raised her eyebrows.

Although they set off a few days later, they were extremely fast.

Rong Xiu looked around and said, “They should’ve already entered. But from the looks of it, it shouldn’t have been too long.”

Chu Liuyue took a serious look and lightly nodded. She also sensed her ancestor’s aura here.

“Tang Ke’s tomb is inside?” She put away the Flying Cloud Painting and officially gazed at the forest in front of her. There is no barrier outside. It seems like… I can enter easily?

“This is the Wei family’s territory. Why didn’t they send anyone to guard it?” Chu Liuyue was a little surprised.

The corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curled up. “There’s only one possibility: There’s no need for anyone to guard this place. Even if someone is standing guard here, it’s useless and meaningless.”

There was a high chance that Tang Ke’s tomb was hidden inside. It could be considered an extremely precious treasure land.

The Wei family wouldn’t be so magnanimous as to not care about this place.

Rong Xiu’s words clearly made sense.

Chu Liuyue nodded. “Then, let’s go in and take a look too!”

As she spoke, she walked forward.

Just as she reached the edge, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Rong Xiu asked, “What’s wrong?”

...

Chu Liuyue glanced sideways at him. “Rong Xiu, did you… hear anything just now?”
