Ye Xiao was careful from the time he took his entry into the tomb, so he could feel the fluctuation of extremely minute energy coming out from these statues. Furthermore, he also did not believe that the owner of the tomb, the person who had once reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm and dominated the entire Azure Dragon Country with his power, would only leave a few restrictions outside his tomb to guard it.

It was very likely that there were also some other things protecting his tomb and this tomb was filled with danger that should not be neglected.

Ye Xiao walked along the path and reached in front of a small iron door. There was already a person present here and was trying to open the door. That person was a girl, wearing a green dress and was looking as beautiful as a fairy.

She was Zhao Yufei. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned around and saw a familiar figure approaching her.

"Ah, It's you, we meet again!" Zhao Yufei smiled.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and returned a smile in reply then asked, "Is the door locked?"

"Yes, this door is locked. I am trying to open it for quite a while but it did not open." Zhao Yufei said with some disappointment.

Looking at the door, he saw there were many strange patterns and at the center of the door was a small hole, the size of a walnut.

"I think a key is needed to open this door." Ye Xiao said while looking at the hole.

"I also think so, let's find the key first." Zhao Yufei said and started searching for the key. Ye Xiao also nodded his head and begun to search for the key.

Even after searching for two hours, they did not find anything.

Disappointed, they once again gathered in front of the iron door. Suddenly Ye Xiao's gaze landed on a statue, standing right side of the gate like a gatekeeper.

"I think I found the key." Ye Xiao smiled worriedly.

Zhao Yufei hurriedly came towards him and asked, "Where is the key?"

Ye Xiao pointed at the statue's left ear. There was a small iron key hanging on the statue's ear like an earring.

Seeing that earring, Zhao Yufei raised her hand in order to take it out but at this time, Ye Xiao stopped her.

"Wait!"

"What happened?"

"Nothing, it is just, I feel that this statue is not simple. If you see it more carefully, you can feel an extremely weak fluctuation of spirit energy inside the statue. To be more accurate, every statue present here has the same extremely minute presence of spirit energy's fluctuation." Ye Xiao said seriously.

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhao Yufei carefully tried to feel the fluctuation of spirit energy inside the statue and she really did feel it.

"What should we do then. If I am not wrong, the moment we took the key away, this statue will attack us." Zhao Yufei said worriedly.

"Let's do it this way, you hide away first. I will go take the key from the statue's ear."

"But..."

"No buts! Don't worry. I have a way to escape. When I'll escape after taking the key, this statue will definitely chase after me to get back the key and will go further away from the iron gate. At that time, you show up then near the gate. I'll throw the key to you so that you can open the gate. At that time we'll enter the gate." Ye Xiao said to Zhao Yufei.

"No, it is very dangerous. What if you can not run from the statue?" Zhao Yufei anxiously said. Even she doesn't know the reason why she was this anxious for a man whom she does not even know that well.

"What, don't tell me you are worried about me?" Ye Xiao smiled slyly.

"You...who is worried about you, scoundrel." Zhao Yufei's cheek suddenly became red as she blushed.

"Hehe, ok ok, I'm joking. Let's get to work now. You go hide first behind that pillar. I will take away the key after that." Ye Xiao pointed at a pillar and said. His expression was very serious.

Zhao Yufei nodded her head and went to hide behind a pillar that was just beside the left side of the iron door.

When Ye Xiao saw that Zhao Yufei has hidden herself well, he took a step forward, raised his hand toward the ear of the stone statue in front of him, and quickly took off the key from its ear.

The moment he took off the earring from the ear of the stone statue, an intense wave of energy suddenly erupted from every direction. All the statues present in the spacious hall looked a Ye Xiao and started running toward him.

It was fortunate that all the people who entered the tomb of the Martial Emperor Realm Expert, were not here. They all had already left the spacious hall and entered the inner area of the tomb. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster at this time.

"Draconic Wings"

He was already prepared. The moment he took off the key from the stone statue's ear, he immediately used the ability to fly that he got from the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

A very beautiful pair of black wings with extremely beautiful golden patterns carved on them grew out from the back of Ye Xiao.

It was the wings of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.

When the wings appeared, Ye Xiao hurriedly flapped them and flew away in the sky toward a direction different from where Zhao Yufei was hidden.

Ye Xiao was flying in the air and all the stone statues were chasing him on the ground. They could not do anything to him as he was in the air and these statues could not fly. They just kept running on the ground, chasing after Ye Xiao.

Those stone statues were extremely ferocious and strange. They actually knew how to attack. All of them kept attacking Ye Xiao by jumping from the ground. It was fortunate that the hall was very spacious and these statues could not fly. There was enough space for him to avoid the attacks from the stone statues.

On top of that, even though the attack of the stone statues were extremely terrifying, it still took them some time to attack after executing an attack. So Ye Xiao was easily able to dodge them.
