Chapter 602: 602
In his previous life, Happy did not have much contact with All-powerful Medicinal Stone, which was why he did not know that he had such extraordinary skills with mechanisms aside from his hate for evil and otherworldly thieving skills .
Even though All-powerful Medicinal Stone had received no prior information about the place, he had actually noticed that there were braziers on the twelve stone pillars with dragon carvings that had slightly weaker flames . Once he activated the first hidden mechanism, he then used another method to notice that there was an even greater trap hidden behind the four Dharma images .
Happy said nothing, but when he noticed the serious and somber gaze All-powerful Medicinal Stone cast at him, he smiled happily . “Is there any way for you to be sure what sort of mechanisms they are?”
“It’s too hard . ” All-powerful Medicinal Stone shook his head slowly . “Unless we break the four Dharma images and slowly explore it . But it’s clear that the system will not give us that chance . The materials used to make the Dharma images are very sturdy, so they should be made using Recondite Steel . ”
After saying that, he swept his gaze over the two pillars and added, “Since this is a complicated trap, it’s definitely a closed trap aimed to kill! From this, we can deduce that the control panels for two of the Dharma images should be the Recondite Steel Gate and the entrance . As for the other two… I don’t know . ”
While he was speaking, Phantasmal Shadow frowned, and a grave expression appeared on her face .
“There is indeed a Dragon Breaker Stone that looks like a gate at the entrance, but it has never come down before . ” Her words basically confirmed All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s assumption .
The group’s expressions changed .
Even though they were very confident in their abilities, they were still a little uneasy about being in Sky Demon Sect when it was on complete lockdown! Unknown dangers were usually the most terrifying, and if they had no way out, it would be even worse .
The air seemed to have frozen up!
For a moment, even Phantasmal Shadow hesitated . ‘Should we activate Sky Demon Secret Cave?’

“Tower Master Phantasmal Shadow, have you made your decision?” Happy asked nonchalantly . “You are only here because you are curious, but I have a quest that I must complete . If you’ve decided to stay, then we will activate the mechanism . ”
When Phantasmal Shadow heard that, she frowned .
For the first time, she felt a hint of pressure and unease while in front of others . After all, Wind Assault Tower could not compare to Mu Clan .
Mu Clan was large and had already accumulated a number of Illusion Life and Death Pills, but if something happened to Wind Assault Tower, their foundation would be heavily damaged .
Phantasmal Shadow said nothing .
While she was feeling uncertain of whether they should continue and take the risk, light and faint footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the entrance .
The two parties became incredibly alert . They quickly noted the sounds and frowned while they cast their eyes over!
Happy did not even turn his head around . With a scowl on his face, he said, “Since you aren’t going to give me an answer and since I’m in a hurry, I’ll pretend as if you already agreed to it . ”
He did not want more people to enter and the information about Sky Demon Secret Cave spreading too fast
Phantasmal Shadow said nothing and agreed to it when she saw how firm Happy’s tone was . A hint of determination lit up in her clear eyes . She nodded at Wu Kuo, and he brought out two Sky Demon Orders .
Happy jumped on the altar and placed two Sky Demon Orders into All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s hands .
Boom!
Gate… Blessed… Mystical… Life and Death!
Surging qi blasted out of Happy’s body, and his aura instantly rose to Life and Death Realm!
When the others saw how serious he was in preparation for the challenge to come, they tensed up and did not dare to be negligent . They activated their qi realms in preparation of the trap as well .
The group from Mu Clan gathered on the altar, while the six from Wind Assault Tower were not too far from them . Wu Kuo handed the Sky Demon Orders to All-powerful Medicinal Stone before he quickly returned to his party to form a circle formation . They stood ready for battle .

At the entrance, a group of players extended their heads with shifty expressions . They fought over each other to peek at the situation inside the hall, but they did not dare enter .
When All-powerful Medicinal Stone saw that, he quickly placed the four Sky Demon Orders into the pits in the four Dharma images, where they fit perfectly .
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
When the fourth Sky Demon Order was fit into its pit, the clear sound of springs jumping instantly echoed through the front hall…
While the group of people held their breaths and watched, the first Dharma image suddenly turned around to face east!
The second Dharma image took a 180 degrees turn and faced north!
The third Dharma image did not move .
The fourth Dharma image faced west!
Slap!
The four Dharma images faced the four cardinal directions, and the moment they faced their respective positions…
Boom!
The Dragon Breaker Stone at the entrance came down with a bang, and it was accompanied by the screams of surprise from various players . The stone crashed against the floor heavily, and the floor shook for a while, which allowed everyone to clearly sense the weight of the Dragon Breaker Stone and how sturdy it was .
“Damn it!”
The group of players at the entrance were extremely shocked and reacted in different ways . Some of them rushed in, while others avoided it by retreating outside .
“We’re blocked outside?!”
“Damn it! I’m shut outside!”
The people outside continuously knocked against the Dragon Breaker Stone, but they soon realized that no matter how hard they hit it, it was useless . The Dragon Breaker Stone refused to budge, and there was not a single crack for them to even try squeezing their way inside .
But… it was also a form of luck .
There were around twenty players who managed to enter the front hall of Sky Demon Sect . When they saw that they had been locked inside the hall, they panicked . They drew close to the Dragon Breaker Stone and touched it with stark pale faces .
“Damn it, we can’t go out . ”
They redirected their gazes then and looked in the direction of the altar . At that moment, they finally had a vague notion that the legendary Sky Demon Secret Cave was about to be opened .
The group was both fearful and happy .
They were afraid because they were trapped with Happy and his party . They did not know whether he and the others would attack them .
And they were delighted because they were fortunate enough to witness the Sky Demon Secret Cave being activated .
But the next second, as the increasingly clearer and more frequent sounds of springs could be heard, stone doors suddenly rose up from two sides of the hall .
They rose one after another, and they made the people from Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower even tenser!
When they saw the black holes inside the doors, their expressions grew unprecedentedly solemn and anxious . There were a total of twenty-four stone doors, but the only one that was not open was the incredibly eye-catching Recondite Steel Gate!
“Why isn’t it open yet?”
“Look! Something is coming out!”
“What the heck?!”
On the other side, the players who had rushed in recklessly moved to the center of the front hall as the mechanism was activated, and they became the first to notice the situation inside the stone doors .
Once they rose up, ghastly green light, which definitely came from someone’s eyes, shone inside them . Some of the rather timid players could not help but scream and rush to the altar .
Whoosh!
The first black shadow charged out of one stone door .
Happy and the others were keen and attentive . They quickly saw that the thing that created afterimages in the air was a fierce creature, but its body shone with a faint metallic glow, showing that it was not a creature with life . It was a beast puppet .
Based on its speed, it was much faster than the puppet guards in the royal mausoleum!
It was a beast puppet in Moksha Realm!
More than ten beast puppets which looked like leopards rushed out from each of the stone doors . There were hundreds of them from the twenty-four stone doors, and they instantly turned the originally spacious hall a little cramped .
Aside from Happy, everyone’s faces turned pale .
Terrified screams rose from the center of the hall .
