Chapter 594 - The Statue of the Deceased Emperor (1/2)

“HAHAHA! It’s been a few hundred years!” The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise burst out laughing, “I’m finally revived! I have finally come back to life!”

Lin Fengxiao stared with a blank expression, whose figure shuddered violently. His body was trembling due to the excitement, which he could not describe with words.

The Black Tortoise was resurrected. The day the Black Tortoise Platoon rose was finally here!

“Master…” Lin Fengxiao slowly recovered from his shock and spoke with a hoarse voice.

“What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and bring the Primary Stones for our friend Duan Qing!” The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise cast a stare at Lin Fengxiao.

Lin Fengxiao could feel a chill flowing down his spine. He quickly ran out from the chamber.

The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise immediately turned its head around and its eyes flickered with wisdom, “I remember that you’re Zhou Bihua, right? Tell me everything that has happened lately. I can tell there must be some reason you guys are here to resurrect me and that old prick demanding to control me!”

Zhou Bihua raised his head slightly. As expected of the Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise, being sharp as always. He immediately explained everything that had taken place at the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground.

“What? You managed to survive an attack from the Skyhowl White Tiger’s clone?” The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise gazed at Qin Nan with utter astonishment. Not only did this kid have an abundance of Primary Force, his strength was that outstanding too?

Qin Nan nodded his head, but he did not appear to be proud of himself. He had only managed to survive the Skyhowl White Tiger’s attack with his left arm of the Divine God of Battle. Besides, the Dragon Abyss Tree had enfeebled the attack beforehand.

If the Skyhowl White Tiger’s clone had actually attacked him with its strongest move, it was hard to tell if he could survive it.

The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise soon collected its thoughts. Its eyes flickered with a murderous look, “Di Fengyun has joined the White Tiger Platoon after betraying the Vermilion Bird Platoon. The Skyhowl White Tiger is surely planning something behind the scenes! It’s the most cunning one among us, and it’s highly possible that it is aiming for the thing inside the Statue of the Deceased Emperor, in my opinion! If it dared to attack in the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground like you mentioned, it means that they have finished their preparations! They will surely strike during the Heaven-Worshipping Feast!”

“I agree!” Zhou Bihua nodded his head with a stern look.

“May I ask, what’s the Statue of the Deceased Emperor? And why would the Skyhowl White Tiger and its crew strike during the Heaven-Worshipping Feast?” Qin Nan was completely lost. He was clueless about the situation.

“The Statue of the Deceased Emperor—it’s the statue that the first emperor of the kingdom constructed with his own flesh before he passed away, and it’s currently sitting deep within the palace!”

The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise explained in a deep tone, “The emperor had left a mysterious treasure inside the statue, and the benefits it would give to the one owning it are said to be unimaginable! The Skyhowl White Tiger desires to claim possession of the treasure, and has been trying to do so for the past few hundred years to achieve its mischievous goals!”

Qin Nan was startled upon hearing this.

The Deceased Emperor, the first emperor that had established the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom.

Even though he was clueless about the emperor’s past, it was obvious how powerful and extraordinary he was, being able to gather three godly beasts and convince them to serve the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom, and eventually build a kingdom here in the Eastern Continent.

However, Qin Nan had never thought that the Deceased Emperor would go this far—constructing a statue with his own flesh and placing a treasure inside it, which was surrounded by traps!

Zhou Bihua added, “The Heaven-Worshipping Feast is a ceremony that worships the Heavens, then the Statue of the Deceased Emperor! The Skyhowl White Tiger has already planned his scheme since he recruited Di Fengyun to his side!”

While saying this, his eyes flickered somewhat with a hint of sorrow.

Di Fengyun was once his successor that he had had high hopes for.

“But why is Di Fengyun in the picture to begin with?”

Qin Nan was confused.

The treasure was hidden inside the Statue of the Deceased Emperor, which the Skyhowl White Tiger had failed to acquire for a very long time.

Why would Di Fengyun make any difference now?

“It’s because Di Fengyun has an eighth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit!” The Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise exclaimed, “Only those with an eighth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit or above could activate the Statue of the Deceased Emperor! If my guess is right, the Skyhowl White Tiger is planning to use Di Fengyun to activate the statue! That being said, I’ve no idea how it will be done exactly.”
