Mortals ask the immortals

Looking from the outside, the layout of the Broken Star Palace gate is similar to that of the Mars Palace, but the interior is different.

Duan Qing had already known this through the map in his hand.

Whether it is the Mars Palace or the other four surrounding star palaces, there are only four entrances and exits.

There are five broken star palaces in the center, corresponding to the five outer star palaces.

In addition, inside the gate of Broken Star Palace, there are not eight passages like Mars Palace, but only one.

However, after entering this passage, the route will gradually diverge, leading in all directions to four other entrances and the center of Broken Star Palace.

Looking at the entrance in front of him, Duan Qing fell into deep thought.

At this moment, there were two choices before him.

One is to choose the shortest route and head towards the central area of ​​Broken Star Palace.

The second is to take a detour to the Venus Palace to find Master and Senior Sister Xue.

His original intention of entering the inner domain was to find Senior Sister Xue, rendezvous with Senior Sister Xue, and ensure Senior Sister Xue's safety, not to seize the treasure.

From this point of view, he should undoubtedly choose the second path.

However, now he knows that Senior Sister Xue and Master are together and there is absolutely no risk in terms of safety. He does not need to worry at the moment.

Furthermore, there is a Saturn Palace sandwiched between the entrance of the Mars Palace and the entrance of the Venus Palace. If you take a detour to the Venus Palace, the journey will be farther than entering the central area, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The most important thing is that the master and his party will definitely move towards the central area. As long as they enter the central area, they will undoubtedly be able to meet the master and others.

However, in this case, he might run into Shui Daozi and others from the Five Elements Sect on the road. The dangers can be imagined.

This was exactly what he was worried about.

After pondering for a while, Duan Qing made up his mind and decided to go directly to the central area of ​​Broken Star Palace.

With the lessons learned from last time, even if you encounter Shui Daozi and others, no matter how many people come, they will not dare to take action easily.

Thinking of this, Duan Qing glanced at his senior brother and Xiao Hong, and took the lead in walking into the only entrance in front.

Just as Duan Qing and his party had just walked into the entrance, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Boy Duan!"

Duan Qing looked back when he heard the sound, and saw a short, thin, half-century-old man wearing a strange-shaped bamboo hat, standing at the gate of Broken Star Palace.

Seeing the person coming, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly turned around to greet him and said with a smile: "Haha, who is this junior? It turns out to be Senior Xing."

Xing Wuji rolled his eyes at Duan Qing: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, when did you learn to speak glibly?"

Duan Qing chuckled: "Hey, by the way, why did senior Xing come to Broken Star Palace?"

In his opinion, with Xing Wuji's ability, it seemed that he shouldn't have entered Broken Star Palace so late.

Xing Wuji pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa Xing, I can come whenever I want. It's all under your control!"

After saying that, Xing Wuji looked at Yu Ya and Xiao Hong behind Duan Qing: "Young boy Yu is here too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Wuji suddenly let out a cry of surprise, his eyes lingered on Xiao Hong for a moment, and then he showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"You two boys, you have a good chance. You can get this kind of treasure. Grandpa Xing, I have entered the Broken Star Palace so many times, but I haven't been able to get a Star Guard!"

Saying that, Xing Wuji looked at Duan Qing again: "Well, the Martian Guardian seems to be within the hundredth number. Duan boy, is this Star Guardian yours or that stinky bitch's?"

The stinky woman Xing Wuji calls is naturally Duan Qing's master, Mu Yu.

When Jian Xing Wuji revealed Xiao Hong's identity, Duan Qing couldn't hide anything, so he simply explained the process of getting Xiao Hong.

After hearing Duan Qing's explanation, Xing Wuji's eyes lit up and he hurriedly walked to Duan Qing in two big steps. He looked at Duan Qing with bright eyes: "Boy Duan, how about I make a bet with Grandpa Xing? I'll bet on you." This star guard!"

Duan Qing was speechless for a moment.

When Xing Wuji and he parted ways in Youzhou, he had said that he had never lost three times to the same person and sooner or later he would win back double what he lost to him.

After so many years, we just met and barely exchanged a few words, and Xing Wuji got addicted to gambling again!

However, now he has no intention to gamble with Xing Wuji.

Duan Qing was about to refuse Xing Wuji, but Xiaohong spoke first.

"The Star Guard cannot be released after recognizing its master, and it cannot be used as a bet!"

Xing Wuji frowned and asked Xiaohong, "What if your master orders you to follow Grandpa Xing and listen to Grandpa Xing from now on?"

"Or maybe something unexpected happened to your master..."

Duan Qing saw that Xing Wuji was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly interrupted: "Junior has no intention of betting now, please forgive me, senior Xing!"

Hearing this, Xing Wuji glared at Duan Qing fiercely: "Boy, Grandpa Xing wants to bet with you. Do you want to take your turn?"

Duan Qing's eyes showed no sign of weakness and stared straight back: "If the junior doesn't gamble, what can the senior do?"

Xing Wuji was a little angry, but since Xiaohong was present, he didn't get angry.

In this broken star palace, his space power is suppressed, and he may not be able to get it from the hands of the spiritual realm star guards.

"Hmph, if you don't gamble now, you will have to gamble in the future. Now that we have encountered each other, how can Grandpa Xing let you go so easily?"

"Grandpa Xing, leave your words here. In Broken Star Palace, Grandpa Xing is determined to follow you!"

"Senior Xing is willing to go with me. It's an honor for us." As he spoke, Duan Qing had no expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart.

He had not dealt with Xing Wuji once or twice, and he knew Xing Wuji's character fairly well.

Just now, he deliberately provoked Xing Wuji, just to force Xing Wuji to follow him by making a bet, but he didn't expect Xing Wuji to fall into the trap.

In the Broken Star Palace, if he could go with Xing Wuji, then why would he worry about Shui Daozi and others from the Five Elements Sect.

Seeing Duan Qing's attitude soften, Xing Wuji was stunned, and then realized that he had been tricked by Duan Qing.

But he didn't say anything, because he really wanted to go with Duan Qing, so that he could find a chance to win the bet against Duan Qing and avenge his previous shame.

With Xing Wuji's joining, Duan Qing and his party set out again.

Several people walked forward along the entrance passage for about dozens of feet, and the road ahead finally forked, dividing from a single road into five.

The light curtain on the rightmost entrance had been broken, and the light curtains on the other four entrances were intact.

Needless to say, the light curtain at the first entrance must have been broken by Shui Daozi and others from the Five Elements Sect.

Whether it was due to personal grudges or the distribution of treasures, he didn't want to deal with Shui Daozi and others again, so he would not take the route that Shui Daozi and others had taken.

Recalling the map in the ink-colored jade slip in his mind, Duan Qing looked at the entrance on the far left.

According to the map he got, the entrance on the far right chosen by the Five Elements Sect and others had a route that led to the center area.

Secondly, there was a relatively close route in the entrance on the far left, which was only a few miles longer than the closest route.

The Five Elements Sect must have a map of the Broken Star Palace, and Shui Daozi and others probably took the closest route.

Considering this, the entrance on the far left was undoubtedly the best choice for him.
