Chapter 336 – Treasure Vault

“Prince, we must kill this guy!”

Ling Du gnashed his teeth in anger as he spoke.

“I’ll make sure he dies in the most miserable way possible!”

Wu Cong was clenching his fist so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard from it. What happened today was his life’s greatest insult! If he couldn’t kill Jiang Chen, that humiliation would follow him for the rest of his life!

Within the ancient pagoda, Jiang Chen and his group were the first ones to enter, and when they went past the stone door, they were immediately stunned by what was presented in front of them.

It was an entirely different world behind the stone door! In front of them there was a vast plain field, and beyond the field there were many ancient palaces, and they were built like mazes. Some of them were glowing with strange lights, making them look very unusual.

The world in front of them did not match the ancient pagoda they saw from the outside.

“We are inside the ancient pagoda?”

Han Yan asked in astonishment.

“There were seven levels within the ancient pagoda. Initially, I thought we’d have to find the staircase leading us to the second and third levels as quickly as possible, but now, I don’t think we need to do that.”

Nangong Wentian casually shrugged his shoulders.

“Looks like this is the inner world within the ancient pagoda. It doesn’t have seven levels, like we saw on the outside. This is a completely isolated dimension. Look at those palaces in front of us, I’m sure there are some treasures hidden inside. Let’s go there as soon as possible and try to get as many treasures as we can. If we can’t get them, we’ll just keep going further. Remember, move quickly, and try not to bump into Wu Cong or anyone from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect.”

After saying that, Jiang Chen simply leapt forward and started flying toward the palaces.

“Little Chen, those people won’t let us go easily.”

Han Yan said.

“Hmph! I’m not scared of any of them, I just don’t want to fight them at the moment. If they really push me to hard, I don’t care if he is a prince or whatnot, I will still kill him.”

Jiang Chen coldly harrumphed. There was no way he could be a match for Wu Cong with his current strength, the gap between them was huge. But, since Jiang Chen got the Ice Demon King, he didn’t need to fear Wu Cong. However, the Ice Demon King was Jiang Chen’s secret weapon, and he didn’t want to reveal it unless necessary. Furthermore, Wu Cong is a prince of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and also a peerless genius from the Martial Palace! If Jiang Chen really killed him, he would be put into an endless amount of troubles, and Jiang Chen did not want to face that right now.

“Little Chen, do you have any idea why that Wu Lang helped us?”

Han Yan curiously asked.

“Within the Martial Palace and Martial Saint Dynasty, there is only one person who is willing to help us, and that is Wu Jiu. Just moments ago, I heard someone mention that Wu Lang is the son of the Ninth Emperor. My guess is, Wu Jiu is the Ninth Emperor of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and this is the reason why Wu Lang was willing to help us. If not, with the prideful attitudes of these princes, we could call ourselves lucky if they don’t come and seek trouble with us.”

Big Yellow said.

“Wu Jiu? Ninth Emperor?” [1]

What Big Yellow saw was correct, Wu Jiu was from the Martial Palace, and he had quite a prominent position there. Although Jiang Chen was indeed a genius, he didn’t think that the Martial Palace would pay much attention to him just because of that, so if there really was someone helping him out in secret, it must be Wu Jiu. Perhaps it was just as Big Yellow said, Wu Jiu was the Ninth Emperor of the Martial Saint Dynasty.

“I never expected it to be like that! Little Chen, did you know that the person you save back in Inferno Hell was the Ninth Emperor, one of the most powerful men in the entire Eastern Continent?”

Han Yan said with mixed feelings.

“We’re not sure about Brother Jiu’s real identity, and now is not the time to think about that. What we need to do now is take all treasures we can, and find the exit. We need to return to the Black Sect and save Little Yu.”

When Jiang Chen thought about Yan Chenyu, he became really impatient. She had been in a coma for too long, and since Jiang Chen had found the Nine Solar Holy Water, once he left the Island of Ice, the first thing he would do was save here, completing his most important goal.

“Look! There are so many palaces, and all of them are filled with treasures!”

“Haha, some of the palaces are glowing! I’m sure those lights come from the treasures! I’m going to be rich!”

“There are dozens of palaces here, and if all of them are filled with treasures… this is unimaginable!”
