The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 176 Cloud Feather 35

Inside the Flower Palace Sword Tomb, the atmosphere was heavy. The three elders tried their best to dissuade Gong Ziyu from wanting to see the strange person, but Gong Ziyu was determined to see what this strange person was.

“I know the three elders are worried about my safety. I didn’t know this before, but now that I do, I must go and see them.”

Gong Ziyu's gaze inadvertently fell on the torch beside the statue. The flickering flames reflected in his handsome eyes, adding to his charm.

The three elders thought he was unaware of the power of the superhumans, which was why he could speak so easily. They earnestly advised him, "Zhi Ren is thinking too simply. If the superhumans could really be eliminated, why would our ancestors have imprisoned them?"

Despite knowing the three elders meant well, Gong Ziyu frowned at their repeated dissuasion and refusals: "The strange man has been imprisoned in the back mountain for a hundred years, and the palace gate has guarded it for a hundred years. We must find a way to completely eliminate it. Are we really going to let the palace gate guard it here forever?"

"Moreover, just because our ancestors couldn't do something doesn't mean we can't. And what we should be thinking about is how to completely eliminate the aliens, not just imprison them."

Upon hearing this, the elders' worries deepened, and they thought wearily: If the supernatural beings could be easily eradicated, how could the palace have ended up in this situation?

The three wanted to try to persuade him further, but seeing Gong Ziyu's unyielding attitude, they knew it would be futile. It might even backfire; if they provoked his rebellious spirit, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for him to sneak off on his own?

Helpless, the three elders could only nod in agreement and resignedly lead Gong Ziyu to the place where the supernatural beings were imprisoned. While guiding him, they reminded him to be careful and not to be bewitched by the supernatural beings.

Gong Ziyu patiently agreed to each of their requests, while repeatedly assuring them that she would protect herself.

……

The Flower Palace was not far from where the strange man was imprisoned. After walking for about fifteen minutes, the four of them arrived at a hidden cave.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing that catches the eye is a narrow stone staircase with rough stone walls on both sides. Water droplets occasionally drip down the rock walls, and the dripping sound echoes in the empty space, adding to the coldness and silence of the already gloomy cave.

As they went deeper, the light gradually dimmed, with only the flickering light from the torches in the hands of a few people casting long shadows all around.

As Gong Ziyu walked down the spiraling stone steps, he felt as if he was constantly going down. He didn't know how deep he had gone or how many iron gates he had passed, but finally a dungeon appeared in front of him.

The dungeon was surrounded by thick, massive stones, and on the far left was a bronze door as tall as a person, secured with a huge iron lock.

Seeing the meticulously prepared dungeon along the way, Gong Ziyu's expectations for the aliens were already at their peak. He looked at the dungeon with some excitement, constantly imagining what the aliens would look like.

Human body with a pig's head? Or pig body with a human head?

Or perhaps someone with unusual appearance?

Or some kind of demon or monster?

Classic of Mountains and Seas? Journey to the West? Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?

Gong Ziyu couldn't help but rub his hands together.

Damn!

This is the first time I've ever met someone with supernatural abilities, I'm so excited!

The four people stood in front of the door in turn. Elders Xue and Yue each took out a key from their bodies and handed it to Elder Hua. Elder Hua also took out a key, and they put the three keys together to make a new key. They stepped forward and used it to open the bronze door.

Gong Ziyu looked through the open door and discovered another door about two or three zhang inward. It was also a bronze door, but the inner door had a window about one foot square with several bars. Through the gaps in the bars, one could see the situation inside the dungeon.

Unfortunately, from his angle, he could only see the door, but not what was inside the dungeon.

"Lord Zhiren, it's best if we don't get too close to the supernatural beings. Let's just observe from behind this door," Elder Hua said solemnly. Then he carefully instructed, "Supernatural beings are skilled at bewitching people, so we must remain vigilant. Whatever you hear or see, never take it seriously, understand?"

"Rest assured, Elder, I will be careful!"

Gong Ziyu nodded in agreement. He was only curious about the superhumans, and he didn't want to approach them rashly before figuring out their background.

However, he immediately thought, what if the superhuman is really as powerful as the elders say, and everyone goes in at the same time and is completely bewitched by the superhuman?

He was simply satisfying his own curiosity this time; there was no need to involve others.

So he directly suggested, "Why don't I go in alone, and the three elders wait here? If I do anything wrong inside, you can knock me out and take me out immediately."

After a moment's thought, the three elders, Xue, Yue, and Hua, felt that what he said made sense, so they all nodded in agreement.

After all, there was another door inside, and Gong Ziyu was just standing at the door looking inside, so he figured nothing would happen.

Seeing that the three had no objections, Gong Ziyu was overjoyed. He quickly walked into the inner room and stopped in front of the door. He looked through the gap in the railing.

What appeared before me was a neat and empty cell, devoid of any sound or trace of any living creature.

???

Gong Ziyu's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around and shouted, "There's nothing inside! Could it be that the strange man has already escaped?"

Elder Yue stroked his beard gently and said calmly, "Don't be hasty in taking up your blade. The strange man has not escaped. Look at the stone platform in the middle of the cell. That half-person-high thing is the strange man."

"Ok?"

Gong Ziyu was full of suspicion and looked in the direction Elder Yue had indicated.

In the middle of the cell, on a platform about half a foot high, stood a long, rectangular metal object about half a person's height. It was entirely silver-white, except for a black plate embedded in the upper part, which emitted a cold and mysterious luster under the torchlight.

Gong Ziyu stared at the things in the cell, countless questions flooding his mind.

Is this what they call an "Outcast"? Just a cold, hard lump of iron?

And this thing alone can bewitch people?

Are you kidding me?!

He couldn't help but wonder to himself: Could it be that the three elders are lying to him?

However, considering the numerous precautions and layers of protection along the way, it doesn't seem like a lie!

Seeing that the three elders behind him could not see the scene inside the dungeon due to their limited angle, Gong Ziyu simply used his mental power to 'pull' at the thing, wanting to observe this 'strange person' more closely.

Unexpectedly, the moment the telekinetic power touched the 'Outsider,' it seemed to awaken a dormant life, and the 'Outsider' instantly came to life.

The upper black panel seemed to be activated by some mysterious force, changing from deep black to clear blue, with unfamiliar and complex characters jumping on it, and finally the image turned into a pure white.
