Book 10, Entering the Immortal Estate, Chapter 7 – The Vault of Treasures
This was an enormous palace, but it was completely quiet and soundless The stillness here had remained unbroken for countless, countless years
Once Youngflayi, and the others flew into the palace frohs of relief They had finally ed to escape and make it inside
“We finally made it in That Iroup of monstrous Dao-soldiers after another…one feels terrified just looking at the was no coward, he had felt completely powerless earlier, because the difference in poas siht back
“Senior apprentice-brother” Northson looked at Ning
“H looked back towards him
“Do you think…we shouldn’t have coroup of ainst numbered over a thousand They were able to effortlessly crush us And then, afterwards, an even more powerful army of more than ten thousand Dao-soldiers appeared…and then the so-called Yaksha Dao-soldier appeared, formed from the a was unable to stop theh…we are completely useless here”
Northson was e Thus, everyone around him could hear his words All of them were silent
It was true Just now, they had relied on Youngfla, to do everything It was the FiendGod who had killed the leader of the one to block the ten-thousand plus Dao-soldier wave Ning and the others had only been able to watch
“Everyone,” Youngflahed, “Don’t feel dispirited There was no way that we could’ve predicted in advance that this Iive birth to so many powerful monsters, all of whom possessed Dao-ared to make it inside one of the palaces of the Witchriver Immortal Estate”
“Only one who has the key to the estate can make it inside; thus, after Ie of countless years, no other living creatures have ever made it inside this palace This is an extreuards Iht still be functioning Thus, let’s not rush about rashly Wait forinside, and then we’ll slowly search through this palace” Youngflarow calm once more
No iven that Immortal Witchriver had died o, there were definitely no living creatures within this palace Thus, it was certainly safer in here than it was outside
“Whew” Northson ied, then staring around and calling out, “Senior apprentice-brother, senior apprentice-sister, let’s all sit down and take a break”
Ning laughed, then sat down in the lotus position as well
“That scaredrepeatedly The Whitewater Hound also lay down on the ground
Yu Wei, Adept Vastriver, Xue Hongyi, Adept Bu You, and the ten Wanxiang Deathsworn all either sat down or re
With but a thought fro…whoosh In the air in front of theh the void-tunnel, one could see the outside world, where ainst a towering Hydraga FiendGod!
“Uncle Fang!” Youngfla was someorried as well as he watched
“Master, if that FiendGod dies outside, we are in big trouble,” Little Qing sent“We’d be trapped inside this palace, unable to leave”
“Don’t jinx us! Hydraga FiendGods aren’t so easily killed What’s more…how could the exalted heir to the position of Godplu was still quite calm Even if the heavens were to collapse upon the fellow’ ready to prop it back up This was a trial which the ancient, vast Youngflaflaht fail the test, but it wasn’t too likely that he would simply be trapped here forever
Ning’s group remained there, within the palace They knew that this palace was extree, and that there were e about wildly Who knehich safeguards and protective measures left behind by Immortal Witchriver were still active? If they were unlucky and ran into a particularly powerful defensive ht die
Better to wait Wait to reunite with the Hydraga FiendGod
As Ning’s group quietly waited Deep within a corridor, in a hidden passageithin the heart of this vast palace
This passageas filled with countless, towering statues At a glance, one would see eighteen grayish-black status, each of which were in the shape of a legendary Godbeast, the Qiongqi Manticore They coiled there within the corridor Countless years had passed in stillness, but as Ning’s group had entered the quiet, silent, ancient palace…
Soqi Manticore statues all began to gloith golden light, a light which constantly flooded into the statues and made them slowly appear more and more real
“Snap” The eyes of one of the Qiongqi Manticores suddenly opened A pair of jade-green, glowing eyes
“Snap” “Snap” “Snap” “Snap” “Snap” “Snap”
One Qiongqi Manticore after another opened their eyes Their eyes were filled with nothing but coldness They all rose to their feet, and even began to spread their wings They had a body as thick as an ox’s, but were covered with bristling spikes They also had a pair of giant wings, but the head of a tiger
These were the qi golems
Goleeless Immortal Witchriver’s servants and subordinates had all died of old age, but these golees, continuing to obey Iuard this palace
“Outsiders have entered the Vault of Treasures,” one of the Qiongqi golems rumbled
“Not Master”
“Not Master’s heir either These outsiders forced their way in through using the key to the estate”
