From the moment Qi Tian decided to rescue the colored glaze sand to the point when the sand was freed and began to release a large amount of dense fog again, the whole process was very brief, lasting only two or three breaths’ time. It could be said to have been extremely fast.

However, fast as Qi Tian was, the entity hidden within the wall was even faster. More energy threads shot out from within the wall, half of which surged towards the controlled ghost faces and onto Emperor Jianwu and his companions, while the other half split into two groups. A smaller portion went towards the colored glaze sand, and the vast majority charged at Qi Tian. It seemed that it recognized the threat Qi Tian might pose and aimed to trap him in an illusion once more while strengthening its control over the others, intensifying the illusions they experienced so that they could not extricate themselves and their spirits would be destroyed, turning them into idiots, or directly causing their souls to dissipate.

Qi Tian snorted coldly, casting a frosty glance at the wall. Then he directed the Transporting Whirlwind to sweep away the energy threads that were aimed at him and the colored glaze sand, clearing them away in a very short span of time. After that, he had several Transporting Whirlwinds constantly circumventing him to prevent being ensnared. He then rushed towards the ghost faces, ready to rescue them and have them serve as his aides

Once he could free several ghost faces, Qi Tian would be able to turn the tide and gain the initiative. Speaking bluntly, even if Emperor Jianwu and the rest were all to perish in the illusion, Qi Tian would still be confident of victory.

While Qi Tian recognized the importance of rescuing the ghost faces, the entity lurking within the wall also knew it couldn’t allow Qi Tian to free them. Suddenly, it let out a piercing scream, so shrill and unpleasant that Qi Tian felt a headache coming on just from the noise in his ears

Notwithstanding, Qi Tian’s mental strength was formidable, and the Transporting Whirlwinds moving around him were unaffected by the scream.

Seizing the opportunity, the hidden entity spat out even more energy threads, attempting to use this chance to trap Qi Tian in an illusion once again. However, it did not succeed, as all the energy threads were swept away by the Transporting Whirlwind, leaving not a single one behind.

Before Qi Tian even had time to feel relieved for having dodged another plight, his expression changed slightly. He noticed that at this moment, ripples began to form on three of the walls, which was something unprecedented. Previously, whenever the walls rippled, it was because he had posed a threat to them, prompting the entity within to retaliate. But now, without having threatened those three walls, the ripples started to move by themselves—was this a sign of something ominous?

No sooner had this thought crossed Qi Tian’s mind than the ripples on the three walls began to roil violently. Dark figures appeared on each wall, and shortly thereafter, several shadows broke through the ripples and burst out from within the walls.

They were four brand-new ghost faces, possessing overwhelming power and unaffected by any illusion. Responding to the call of the entity creating the illusions, they launched a combined assault, resolved to annihilate Qi Tian and his group.

What Qi Tian didn’t know was that this scenario was actually the norm. The owner of the Saint’s Tomb had designed the Inner Underground Palace to contain a series of interconnected formations involving nine walls. Within these nine walls, each concealed massive destructive power, forming multiple tiers of interlinked killing moves. Any outsider triggering them would be targeted by these killing moves, with the likelihood of escaping them being minuscule.

However, the owner of the Saint’s Tomb could never have anticipated an individual like Qi Tian, who could avoid these interconnected killing moves by leveraging the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, almost completely foiling the Saint’s Tomb owner’s meticulous efforts.

Fortunately, the owner of the Saint’s Tomb was no ordinary person. Anticipating such a scenario during the setup, they took preventive measures and left a contingency in place, and now was the time for this contingency to display its power.

Inside the Inner Underground Palace, among the nine interconnected walls, the Saint’s Tomb owner had placed nine entities at the Nascent Soul Stage, with eight being ghost faces and the remaining one being a creature known as the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider. Not only was it powerful with a formidable ability to control illusions, but it also possessed great intelligence and impressive commanding abilities.

This Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider was one of the Saint’s Tomb owner’s greatest contingencies within the Inner Underground Palace, serving as a final safeguard for the security of the tomb. Now, as the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider realized how difficult Qi Tian was to handle, it promptly sent out a signal, summoning the remaining ghost faces not yet taken by Qi Tian, to attack collectively and eliminate him.

When Qi Tian was at the Outer Tomb Door, he had subdued a ghost face, and after entering the Inner Underground Palace, he had successively taken control of four more. Now, with five ghost faces in his possession, they should have been a powerful aid to him. However, due to the Ghost Face Illusion Demon Spider, they were now all trapped in an illusion, struggling even to protect themselves, let alone provide any help to Qi Tian.
