Beside the crystal coffin, there were also some other items: a pile of stones emitting a white-gold luster, a pile of spiritual artifacts of various shapes, and some ancient books, among other things.
Fang Hong did not pay attention to those scattered treasures; he focused all his attention on the Gray-robed Old Man inside the crystal coffin.
Under his Divine Sense, the Gray-robed Old Man did not seem truly dead; there was still a faint, almost imperceptible qi fluctuating weakly within his physical body.
Just as Fang Hong was cautiously observing the Old Man in the crystal coffin, a sudden, unannounced change occurred.
The Gray-robed Old Man's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and two sharp golden lights shot out from the crystal coffin with extreme speed, instantly hitting Fang Hong's forehead and then entering his sea of consciousness.
Fang Hong's eyes widened abruptly, his whole body shook, and he fell straight to the ground, unable to control himself.
