At this moment, layers of incredibly eerie ripples spread out instantly from above the Ancient Sword, as ripples burst forth from the Giant Sword.

As these ripples erupted from the Giant Sword, its blade began to spin wildly, causing the surrounding air to tremble uncontrollably.

As terrifying whirlwinds formed, sinister patterns appeared on the Giant Sword, looking extremely evil, as if countless vengeful spirits were engraved upon its blade.

As Ding Fan saw this scene, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. His gaze flickered slightly, then he fixed his eyes firmly on the blade of the Giant Sword.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the blade of the Giant Sword barely stopped spinning for a brief moment, and then it suddenly emitted a blinding light. As this light was unleashed, the entire sky spread waves of disturbance, and thunder slowly gathered in the sky. In an instant, a huge bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens.

In almost the blink of an eye, the bolt of lightning struck fiercely at a statue within the temple.

The people around, seeing this, all had a look of astonishment flash in their eyes. Their gazes flickered slightly, and they looked at the humanoid statue in shock.

As the humanoid statue struck by lightning now shimmered with a brilliant glow, arcs of lightning slowly began to flow over it.

As Ding Fan saw this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. To be honest, he wasn’t sure what the Bald Man was up to.

While everyone was puzzling over this, the statue struck by lightning began to tremble slightly. Before long, everyone could clearly see the corners of the humanoid statue’s mouth curling up slightly.

Seeing this, the people around suddenly had a look of horror flash in their eyes, their mouths slightly agape, and they exclaimed in shock:

"This... This statue seems to have come to life!"

"What? The statue came to life? How is that possible? This statue has been here for who knows how long, how could it come to life!?"

"I clearly saw the statue’s mouth move just now, it’s like it was smiling at us, it’s really terrifying!"

The people around looked at the statue struck by lightning, their eyes full of horror, while the Bald Man, watching the statue, also had a look of delight flash in his eyes. He slightly curled the corner of his mouth and then loudly shouted to the people around:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve finally found the entrance to the Sirius Tomb. It’s this statue; this statue is the true entrance to the Sirius Tomb!"

After hearing the Bald Man’s words, everyone had a look of doubt flash in their eyes. Their gazes flickered slightly, and then they asked the Bald Man in confusion:

"How do you know? And what was with that strange Ancient Sword and lightning just now?"

Listening to the crowd’s questions, the Bald Man had a look of pride flash in his eyes. He slightly curled his mouth and then spoke to the crowd in a haunting tone:

"The Giant Sword in my hand is actually not a weapon; its true use is for Spiritual Communication!"

Upon hearing the Bald Man’s words, a look of shock appeared in everyone’s eyes. Their gazes flickered slightly, and they asked the Bald Man in confusion:

"Spiritual Communication? So is this a Telepathic Weapon? But even if this Telepathic Weapon can communicate with spirits, how did you determine that the statue is the entrance to the Sirius Tomb?"

Listening to the people’s questions, the Bald Man slowly curled his mouth into a smile. After pondering slightly, he spoke to the crowd in a haunting tone:

"Because this is the Sirius Tomb, and Sirius was so powerful back then, I am sure he left his remnant spirit in the tomb. Once the location of the remnant spirit is known, finding the Sirius Tomb becomes much easier..."

Upon hearing the Bald Man’s words, everyone had an enlightened look flash in their eyes. Their gazes flickered slightly, and they slowly replied to the Bald Man:

"So, does that mean the place hit by the lightning just now certainly has Sirius’s remnant spirit?"

Listening to the people’s words, the Bald Man gently nodded his head twice, pondered for a moment, and then proudly spoke to the crowd:

"That’s right, my Telepathic Weapon has never made a mistake. Sirius’s remnant spirit is definitely there, and once we enter, we will certainly be able to enter the Sirius Tomb!"

Hearing the Bald Man’s words, everyone had a look of excitement flash in their eyes. However, Ding Fan, hearing this, couldn’t help but wrinkle his brow slightly. His gaze flickered a bit, and then he fixed his eyes firmly on the statue.

Just when no one was paying attention, the statue began to move slowly, a faint sound of subtle movements echoed in the temple. Watching the statue, Ding Fan’s eyes instantly narrowed, filled with fear.

"This..."

Nearby, Xia Ling noticed Ding Fan’s unease, her eyes flickering slightly, and she softly asked Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, did you discover something?"

At this moment, Ding Fan heard Xia Ling’s words, and his brows furrowed fiercely, his mouth quivering slightly. He then pulled Xia Ling aside and said urgently:

"Xia Ling, step back, there is danger at the statue!"

Xia Ling was caught off guard, and Ding Fan pulled her back, they flew backward instantly. The two Yuan brothers watched Ding Fan’s panicked demeanor, surprise flickering in their eyes, but trusting Ding Fan, they glanced at each other and retreated.

The surrounding people saw Ding Fan’s panic, and their eyes filled with doubt, their gaze flickering slightly, mocking Ding Fan:

"Brat, why are you running? Such a coward!"

Ding Fan heard their words, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a brief pause, he spoke eerily to them:

"Run! There is danger at the statue!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a smile flashed in everyone’s eyes. The Bald Man laughed boisterously.

"What a joke. I have used my telepathic weapon here, nothing will happen!"

"Exactly, Ding Fan, you are just a cowardly wimp!"

Ding Fan ignored their remarks, still dragging Xia Ling and the two Yuan brothers frantically backward, his eyes filled with seriousness.

The Yuan brothers watched Ding Fan’s tense expression, surprise flashing in their eyes, their gaze flickering slightly, and spoke quietly to Ding Fan:

"Brother, are you too tense? I don’t see anything unusual about the statue..."

Upon hearing the Yuan brothers’ words, Ding Fan’s brows furrowed deeply, his mouth trembling slightly, and he spoke quietly to them:

"If you don’t believe me, stay here and wait..."

The Yuan brothers felt awkward after hearing Ding Fan’s words, their gaze flickering slightly, and they followed beside Ding Fan.

As people mocked Ding Fan, a human face suddenly emerged on the statue behind them, grinning menacingly, its eyes glinting with a ghostly green light.

When the face appeared, the Yuan brothers’ eyes showed horror, their mouths opening wide, filled with terror.

"What... what kind of monster is this!?"

"This is horrifying! The statue really came to life, it’s terrifying..."

The Yuan brothers’ horrified voices echoed, and upon hearing their words, everyone’s eyes filled with doubt. They hadn’t expected the Yuan brothers’ eyes would be filled with horror so soon after Ding Fan warned of danger.

Everyone paused briefly, their heads turning slowly. When their gazes shifted, their eyes widened immediately, filled with indescribable horror, and their hair stood on end.

"What... what kind of monster is this? It’s terrifying!"

"Run! We’ve never seen such a monster, could it be the spiritual body summoned by the Ancient Sword’s telepathic weapon?"

But by now, it was too late for them to flee. The human face on the statue became clearer, a grotesque and sinister expression revealed on the statue, and its originally rigid body started to loosen.

In almost a breath’s time, a humanoid beast emerged from the statue, its human-like mouth opened wide, filled with sharp teeth, each tooth gleaming menacingly.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar erupted from the humanoid monster’s mouth, and its entire body vanished instantly, appearing in front of a divine warrior in the blink of an eye, its terrifying mouth biting fiercely toward the warrior’s arm.

The surrounding people were aghast, uncertain how to respond. The divine warrior whose arm was about to be bitten showed determination in their eyes.

They brandished a Heavy Blade, their arm trembled slightly, blocking their arm. Simultaneously, their body swayed slightly, dodging swiftly at the same time.

The Heavy Blade was flung by the divine warrior, caught in the humanoid monster’s mouth, and a cacophony of metal cracking resonated from the monster’s mouth.
