There was no need to go in. The old man could tell that there was no one around with just a glance of his spiritual sense after the barrier was broken. He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the cave for a long time with his sharp eyes narrowed, before turning around and asking.
"Who originally lived here?"
"Reply, to your Excellency, we don't know either. We haven't seen anyone come out from inside."
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed across the old man's eyes. That should be gone, what a perceptive person.
He rushed here from the depths of the forest because he felt the breath of the ancient mythical beast. Unexpectedly, when he arrived here at the fastest speed, the people here had already left.
However, it can be felt that this person has just been promoted not long ago, and was able to leave quickly after the promotion. This person has a good character and a strong sense of crisis. I really didn't expect that such a person would exist in a mere inferior country.
"What's happened to the trees in this area? Why are they all withered?" His eyes swept across the surrounding trees and were surprised to see that the life had been drained from them.
"In reply to your Excellency, it was the people inside who were advancing. A violent wind suddenly arose, and it turned into a dragon, not only absorbing the spiritual energy around, but also draining the vitality of those trees, which led to this situation."
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly. Drained of vitality? What kind of skill is that? Is there such a skill? Is this from a lower-class country? Or is it that people from the eight empires are practicing here
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly rejected it.
Although the formations and barriers here are set up fairly well, it can be seen that the person who set up the formations and barriers is only at the Jindan stage, so he cannot be someone from the eight empires. So, does this person have a treasure on him
Thinking of this, he lifted up into the air with a flick of his sleeves. It had been less than half an hour since he came here from the depths, so if he was looking for it, it should be in this area.
After the old man left, the person on the ground looked up after a while when he heard no more noise. When he saw no one, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and rubbed his still weak legs.
"This must be a powerful person from the eight empires. The pressure is too strong."
"I was so scared that my legs were still weak, but he didn't kill us."
"That's right, the masters of the eight empires are different. We have been trying to break through the formations and barriers for a long time, but he broke them as soon as he arrived."
"But where did the people inside go? Why aren't they inside? We are all guarding here, there is no way they can get out!"
"Could they have left over this mountain? Look at this mountain near the cave. Maybe they left from here under the cover of night?"
"But why would that expert want to find the people inside? Could it be that those people are really carrying valuable treasures? Otherwise, how could they attract even the experts in the inner circle?"
As they were talking, several figures appeared in the air with a whoosh and landed in the sky above their heads.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from those people, the monks who had just stood up quickly knelt down again with a thud.
"Greetings, greetings to the venerables."
They spoke tremblingly, their foreheads pressed against the ground with pale faces, and they cursed the people in the barrier in their hearts for running away and leaving them with so many troubles.
