Chapter 961: Breaking the Stubborn and Destroying the Decayed

After leaving the palace road, Chen Chuan soon walked to the place where Young Master Xu and the other man had just run out.

He glanced around and saw more than a dozen headless corpses on the ground.

The blood of these people had not yet dried and was now flowing along the cracks between the floor tiles. One or two of them left dragging marks on the ground, extending all the way to a side hall, where he heard some kind of chewing sound.

He turned around and walked over here, entering through the broken bricks all over the ground. He then saw a six or seven meter long creature that looked like a snake or a dragon, with a single horn on its head, lying there and gnawing at the corpse on the ground.

As he walked in, the thing suddenly stopped moving, then turned around suddenly, and most of its face was left with only tattered dry meat, and its body was full of tatters, and the fresh flesh and blood that it had just bitten into its mouth was flowing out from the holes.

Chen Chuan stared at it intently and could see some flashes of light on the creature's skull and back, representing spiritual power. This showed that this creature was not the alienated monster he had seen before, but that this body was occupied by some highly condensed spiritual entity.

There is no doubt that the practitioners with divine appearance and the existence on the opposite side can do this kind of thing, but there will be some incoordination. The condensed spiritual body in front of him matches the outer shell very well. It is more like the original spirit has been reunited after being blessed by the ritual and then occupied the original decayed body.

He stood there without moving, but this thing was the first to lose patience. It turned its body and rushed towards him. Before it reached him, a strong wind pressure and a smell of corruption came over.

Chen Chuan stood where he was, raised his hand, and slapped it casually. With a loud bang, the thing was knocked to the ground by an irresistible force, creating a large amount of dust.

Chen Chuan seemed to be aware of something at this time. He looked to the side and saw another dragon snake appeared not far away, coiled on the top of a large pillar, staring at him closely. There was another movement from behind. On the palace wall over there, a dragon snake also crawled out from somewhere.

The one on the ground turned over, quickly distanced itself from him, shook its head, lay on the ground, stared at him, and slowly moved forward.

In an instant, three long dragons surrounded him like they were hunting prey.

After Chen Chuan took a few glances, he suddenly remembered that it was said that the five dragons dismembered Yuwen Yuanqi's body. Later, it was said that one day Emperor Ying suddenly remembered the feelings of his compatriots, so he drowned all the five dragons that had followed him for a long time to sacrifice to his brothers.

Is that what it is?

But these in front of me... look a little weak.

At this moment, high up in the mountain, a palace servant with a pale face was walking in front with a lantern in his hand, muttering to himself, and all he mentioned was either "Your Majesty" or "Your Excellency".

Xu Mutang followed behind with an expressionless face, walking up a winding mountain path. The palace attendant in front raised a lantern, shone it forward, and said, "His Majesty is in the palace admiring the moon. You should go up quickly. Don't forget the etiquette I taught you. Remember to serve His Majesty well. It will be good for you."

Xu Mutang looked at the palace above and asked, "Is Emperor Ying up there?"

"How dare you!" The palace attendant's shrill voice suddenly rose, "How can a cunning person like you address His Majesty like that?"

Xu Mutang sneered and whipped the long whip in his hand, and the palace servant in front of him was instantly beaten to pieces. However, this action seemed to alarm the palace guards above, and a large number of spear-wielding warriors rushed down from above.

At this moment, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and in an instant, all the warriors in front of him, including the remains of the palace servant, disappeared like dissipating smoke.

The originally exquisite pavilions in the distance have all become ruins of palaces and pavilions. The path underfoot is no longer a flat path, but is covered with dead grass and cracked gravel, with messy dead bones on them, and traces of knife and axe chopping on the broken bones.

He said coldly: "It's a devilish trick."

If it were a thousand years ago, these things might still confuse him, but now, at most they can only make him dazed for a moment.

If it wasn't for the fact that following these things would make it easier to find Emperor Ying's true whereabouts, he would have torn through this layer of fog long ago.

He withdrew his whip and strode towards the palace.

The Longyou Dao Government Affairs Office has long been paying close attention to this secret treasure. After all, it is not only a well-known secret treasure, but also right next to the central city. Therefore, the central city has long regarded this place as its own and has collected a lot of relevant information for this purpose.

In fact, the business of those adventure groups is planned and participated in by the Central City behind the scenes, in order to find a way to enter the secret treasure.

This time, a passage leading into the ceremony suddenly appeared. The expert group guessed that someone who knew the information must have entered here, and his identity was not simple. It was inconvenient for the Central City to directly conflict with him, but it could get valuable things first. So this time, as soon as he came in, he broke through all the way inside without any delay.

Now he thought he had arrived at the core of the secret treasure. Looking around, he saw that a corner of the palace had collapsed, but there were still a few thick pillars standing there.

There was a large pool in front, more than a meter deep, filled with broken bones, all of which showed signs of being chewed.

He took a few glances and guessed that this should be the Dragon Pond. Legend has it that Emperor Ying had five dragons under his command, who would eat a hundred people alive every day. History books said that most of them were criminals and slaves, but who were the criminals and slaves was a matter of a word from Emperor Ying.

The expert group of the central city has analyzed that although this seems to be a secret treasure house established in the name of Yuwen Yuanqi, it is actually a spiritual palace prepared by Emperor Ying for himself. The ghost den just now and the dragon pool in front of them all prove this point.

Looking at the palace in front of him, he showed an expectant look in his eyes. The Yuwen family died out in three generations, and it took only forty years from prosperity to decline. They were one of the few imperial families that failed to escape to the fusion area and make other backup arrangements. However, according to the records of the later dynasties, not much was looted, so it is generally suspected that the wealth they accumulated should be in the secret storage of Emperor Ying.

There should be quite a few here!

And something that Paine has been looking for might be right here!

He raised his whip and walked quickly across the Dragon Pond. Just as he was about to enter the hall, he stopped. Suddenly, a one-horned snake crawled out from the rubble and broken bricks in front of him.

He frowned, his eyebrows twitching slightly, and found that it was just a thing similar to a mummy, with charred and dry flesh tightly attached to the bones, but the body was not small, at least seven or eight meters long.

He did not underestimate it. He took a deep breath and his body suddenly became huge, turning into a giant general in black armor. Without waiting for the thing to launch an attack, he rushed up first and punched it on the head, knocking it directly into the ground. Then he stepped on it and reached out to pull up a large pillar next to it from the ground. In an instant, white and green flames spread on it, and he smashed it repeatedly below, and finally hit it hard!
With a loud bang, a large cloud of dust and dirt exploded, and a large section of the rotten hall collapsed.

After the dust settled, Xu Mutang's body had returned to its original shape, but the dragon snake had been smashed into several pieces, and the broken parts were smashed into rotten bones and flesh. He snorted and threw the broken pillar in his hand away.

Some things in the old times were very powerful, but some things were exaggerated. However, this snake dragon might have had some fighting power when it was alive, but now only its bones and skin are left, and there is not much alienated tissue left. It can only rely on a little spiritual support. How can it fight against itself?

He picked up the whip that had fallen on the ground and walked quickly into the inner hall.

At the entrance of the palace complex, there was a flash of light, and the three dragon snakes that rushed up were instantly blown into countless shattered powders, which scattered down.

Chen Chuan shook his head. This thing only looks good but is useless. He didn't know how powerful Yuwen Yuanqi was in the past, but he must have reached the realm of Changsheng Temple, otherwise he would not have become a general assisting the country.

And judging by the various performances of his body, he has most likely reached the latter level. And these five dragons were able to tear his body apart, which is somewhat powerful.

But judging from the few ones in front of us, it can only be said that the strength is far inferior to that when he was alive. After all, it has been a thousand years. Even if the spirit is attached, the body has decayed.

At this moment, he suddenly heard bursts of muffled noises like thunder coming from the hall above. He looked over there and saw the two men he had met before saying that a fighter had come in. It seemed that this man had made the noise.

So he turned around and disappeared from the spot in an instant, heading straight for the source of the sound. In just a few breaths, he arrived at the foot of the high ground. Just as he was about to go up, he suddenly stopped and a bright light flashed in front of him.

Then several large pillars of the palace on one side broke and slid down with a sharp creaking sound. The already shaky palace in this corner collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, and the broken surface was extremely flat and smooth.

Chen Chuan looked over and saw a warrior wearing red armor and a ghost mask, who looked like a guard here. There was a cold light flashing on his body, and he held a saber in his hand.

Is this... a mutated demon?
To be honest, I have seen so many corpses and strange ghosts here along the way that I feel a little familiar when I see the monsters and ghosts at first glance.

However, the other party is obviously no match for Protector You.

He looked at the demon ghost walking towards him, and he also pulled the Xuejun Sword out of its scabbard and walked towards it. The opponent's footsteps quickened, and the figure suddenly flashed, dragging a long, cold flame in the long corridor, and the sword light almost covered all vision.

However, the next moment, with the flash of a knife light as bright as the moonlight in the snow, all the cold flames seemed to be extinguished in an instant.

The demon kept swinging the sword, and the spiritual fire on its body suddenly went out. Then it instantly dispersed into dozens of pieces, which scattered on the ground. At the same time, a thumb-sized golden seal also fell.

Chen Chuan turned the Xuejun Knife, picked up the thing, and took a look. It was engraved with "Xiaoguo Youwei".

He raised his eyebrows. The Xiaoguo Guards were the personal army of Emperor Ying, and coupled with the Shengchao Guiden just now, it seemed that the so-called secret treasure of Yuwen Yuanqi was not as simple as it seemed.

He looked up again at the vague outline of the palace in the sky. He would know what it was if he went over to take a look.
