A few moments later, the martial artists arrived in front of the cave.
When they saw that Duan Gujin had already taken control of the leader, they realized it was the newcomer who had just arrived today that had subdued the leader.
"Everyone, I have here some Dark Weapons and Elixir Pills suitable for you. Each of you pick two suitable Dark Weapons and divide these Elixir Pills equally. Once everyone has recovered their strength, we'll break out of here! We are all trapped here as laborers, and our lives won't last long. Let's all put in a major effort, and perhaps we could return to the outside world! Let's break out together, what do you say?"
Duan Gujin immediately shouted out loud.
"Good!"
The martial artists present, of course, were aware of their plight; before, they were simply powerless to resist. Now that a chance had arisen, they naturally wanted to strive for it.
These martial artists quickly picked up the Dark Weapons from the ground and took the Elixir Pills distributed by Duan Gujin, then they began to take control of the Demon Clan that were guarding this place.
For some members of the Demon Clan who had done many evils, Duan Gujin directly executed them.
After interrogation, Duan Gujin spared the lives of a dozen or so members of the Demon Clan stationed here.
The reason why these dozen members of the Demon Clan could still live was because they were new here and had not yet killed anyone.
Among those members of the Demon Clan, the one with extremely heinous crimes was the Mountain Eagle Demon Clan.
Duan Gujin did not immediately eliminate it but instead obtained two very important pieces of intelligence from him.
First, the Mountain Eagle Demon Clan and the local Giant Golden Eagle Demon Saint were relatives.
Duan Gujin figured that if they encountered enemies other than that Giant Golden Eagle Demon Saint in the future, he might use the Mountain Eagle Demon Clan to threaten and repel other members of the Demon Clan.
Second, the Mountain Eagle Demon Clan knew what treasures there were on this island, and Duan Gujin needed the leader to help him find the treasures here.
"This island is actually a giant Magic Array. As long as the Magic Array that protects the treasures inside the island exists, Forbidden Space Power will surround the entire island! Destroying the giant Magic Array on this island will completely dispel the Forbidden Space Power surrounding it!"
After the leader told Duan Gujin about this situation, Duan Gujin decided to spare his life.
Duan Gujin knew in his heart that to lead these thousands of martial artists to escape, the Forbidden Space Power on the island must disappear, otherwise it would be difficult for them to break free.
Of course, there was another way, which was to have enough Flying Spiritual Beasts to lead them away.
He learned from the leader that all the Flying Spiritual Beasts who had been sent here before were killed by the Demon Clan above, taken away to feed other Demon Beasts, and there were no Spiritual Beasts on this island now.
After hearing this news, Xiao Yueyue nearly fainted; she had just realized that her Spiritual Beast was already dead.
After consoling her for a while, Duan Gujin ordered everyone to make an effort to find the Magic Arrays on this island.
A day passed, and most of the martial artists present had regained their strength and received Dark Weapons and some Elixir Pills that could help them restore their Primordial Power.
Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense, and after a two-hour search, he finally opened up a passage leading underground.
He instructed the others to protect the spot, while he dived into the underground.
After descending, Duan Gujin found a large Defensive Magic Array.
"This Defensive Magic Array seems to be the Crossing the World Array!"
He analyzed the Defensive Magic Array and felt it was very similar to the Crossing the World Array.
The Crossing the World Array is the name of a type of Advanced Defense Array.
Once a martial artist sets up the Crossing the World Defense Array at a location, a powerful Forbidden Space Power will appear above that place, and special lakes will form around the Array.
Since this kind of Array generates Forbidden Space Power, it also produces a force that causes the land to disappear.
Therefore, this type of Array is known as the Crossing the World Array.
He checked his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, this place only has the core of the Basic Magic Array left!"
It turns out that if a Crossing the World Array is set up in a place, various Defensive Magic Arrays or Killing Arrays are often added within the array to deal with intruders.
After all, this Crossing the World Array is just a Basic Defense Formation, and to stop intruders from breaking in, it is necessary to add arrays like Killing Arrays.
However, Duan Gujin discovered that the array in front of him was only the Basic Magic Array, without any other arrays.
"It seems that this place is really ancient!"
His eyes flickered a few times, and he came up with this reason.
Duan Gujin then followed the underground passage to the passage below, where he found himself seemingly in a circular Underground Palace.
He traveled some distance through the underground passage, then reached a turning point, entered the turning point, and proceeded into the passage inside.
After moving forward for a while, he came to a huge Underground Palace.
Around the palace, there were various giant statues, resembling characters from Ancient Myths.
Beneath the palace, there were at least a hundred huge square stone blocks.
Seeing those square stone blocks, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed slightly, as he really couldn't understand why there were so many square stones here.
He made a round in the vicinity until he saw a stele nearby with some Ancient Text on it.
By studying the Ancient Text on the stele, he came to know the truth.
"So that's how it is!"
It turns out that those stone blocks were a mechanism used by the constructors of the ruin to break through the Underground Palace. As long as the mechanism of the ruin was activated, the entire palace within the ruin would be elevated.
During this elevation process, the ruin required a strong ascending force, and those huge square stones were used to lift the entire Underground Palace.
What left Duan Gujin speechless was that the stele also stated that the treasures of the palace belonged to the Jiuzhou Continent.
"What does this mean?"
Duan Gujin felt perplexed.
Soon, he arrived at the location of the ruin's mechanism mentioned on the stele.
It was a huge cross-shaped turning needle; he only needed to turn the dial one hundred and eighty degrees to activate the mechanism.
He found that the cross-shaped needle was very large, but it was not a difficult task for him to turn it.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, activated his Primordial Power, then approached the turning needle and started to exert effort to turn it.
Creak, creak, creak!
With his turning, the needle emitted sharp creaking noises.
He took a deep breath and continued to turn.
After a while, he turned the needle to the one hundred and eighty-degree position.
Click, click, click!
Immediately after, he heard a series of clicking sounds.
"The Array is activated!"
He quickly drew in a breath of cold air and then immediately went to a nearby high platform.
