Having successfully broken the formation, the crowd surged into the palace filled with anticipation. However, they quickly discovered that breaking the formation did not mean they could easily acquire those coveted magic treasures.
The moment they entered the palace, various dangers struck like a rainstorm. Traps hidden in the shadows instantly activated, and countless sharp arrows shot out from all directions, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle and leaving trails of cold light in their wake. Due to momentary carelessness and panic, quite a few cultivators failed to dodge in time and were struck by the arrows. Some arrows pierced shoulders while others drove deep into thighs; fresh blood splattered everywhere, and miserable cries rose one after another.
Immediately following, a group of tall, formidable Puppets emerged with heavy strides. These Puppets were forged from hard metal, their joints flashing with an eerie glow as they swung their massive iron fists, each movement accompanied by a rushing wind. Panicking, some cultivators executed spells whose power was drastically reduced, and they were instantly knocked to the ground by the Puppets' overwhelming strength. A Golden Core Stage cultivator attempted to use a magic treasure to block a Puppet's attack, only to be sent flying by a single punch, slamming into the wall and vomiting a mouthful of blood, his fate unknown.
