Chapter 774: The Legendary Proverbs
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
City Lord Wan originally did not care about the few people who came to look for him. Every once in a while, someone would come here with the secret signal.
Most people either became his subordinates or became bones under the sand.
Ah Yu: “Could the underground palace you’re talking about be a place with an ancient coffin?”
Other than the Xuan Heaven Bow, they didn’t take anything else from there.
Ah Yu did not like those things. w.a.n.g Wulang wanted to take some money to suppress his shock, but he felt that his sister disdained this kind of wealth, so he did not take it.
The others were just followers, so they naturally couldn’t take it.
City Lord Wan looked dazed. “You really went in?”
He muttered, “It shouldn’t be like this.”
Then, in front of them, he called over the woman in red from before and asked her, “Have you reinforced the mechanisms outside the underground palace?”
The woman in red was very afraid of City Lord Wan. When she replied, she was also trembling with fear. “City Lord, we’ll send someone to investigate every three days. The mechanisms in the underground palace haven’t been destroyed.”
“Wow, you actually dare to lie to the City Lord in front of us?” w.a.n.g Wulang didn’t mind the commotion and said in a clear voice, “When we went to that underground palace, we destroyed all the mechanisms outside. There are also more than a hundred mechanisms inside. They were either destroyed or no longer had any weapons. How can you have the cheek to say that they weren’t destroyed? I’m ashamed for you!”
City Lord Wan said in disbelief, “How is that possible!”
The underground palace was guarded by the previous City Lords. It could be said that it was the reason why Jiangsai City had faith in the City Lords.
Moreover, it was not that he had never tried to enter, but everyone basically could not enter. There were countless people who had died outside, and the name of the Land of Death had even spread, scaring even the most ferocious horse bandits so much that they did not dare to step in.
The inside was even more terrifying. No living person had ever come out of the underground palace!
As the City Lord, he knew that there were countless treasures in this underground palace, as well as a Xuan Heaven Bow that could be said to be an immortal item. That was the temptation of people still coming to Jiangsai City one after another.
However, only the City Lord knew what the Xuan Heaven Bow looked like.
There was no mistake. It was exactly like the one this little girl was carrying.
In addition, there were 180 array formations in the palace. Coupled with 36 disguises and the combination of the five elements and eight trigrams, it could be said that there was no returning from that place.
How could they pa.s.s all of them?
Seeing that the City Lord was a little dumbfounded, All Yu said, “Perhaps the mechanism inside has been in disrepair for a long time and many things are not functional anymore. Who knows?”
“Impossible!” City Lord Wan said sternly. “The underground palace is such a n.o.ble existence. How can it be barged in casually?”
Those who could enter were all experts among experts, but experts might not understand arrays. Those who knew arrays also had to have peerless martial arts and extraordinary intelligence. It was impossible to do it with any aspect missing.
But now that the truth was in front of him, City Lord Wan had to admit that he had encountered the rumored challenger.
He sent people to gallop to the underground palace and called for Ah Yu and the others to stay in the stone palace. Because he did not know their ident.i.ties, he did not neglect them.
Ah Yu and the others were no longer in a hurry to look for King Xiaoyao and stayed in peace. It was not until two days later that someone came to invite them politely.
This time, City Lord Wan invited them to an extremely s.p.a.cious hall. When he saw Ah Yu and the others, he half-knelt and bowed to her. “Holy Envoy, please forgive my previous offense!”
“City Lord Wan, what do you mean?” All Yu moved aside and avoided this huge bow.
City Lord Wan had a bitter expression. “Lord Holy Envoy, you’re finally here! If you hadn’t come, I would have suspected that the rumors were fake!”
It turned out that every City Lord would know a saying: Whoever could pa.s.s through the underground palace safely and obtain the Xuan Heaven Bow without being injured, would be the next Holy Envoy of Jiangsai City!
w.a.n.g Wulang asked, “Wait a minute, what kind of existence is this Holy Envoy you’re talking about?”
City Lord Wan stood up straight and said word byword, “The kind that’s here to cleanse Jiangsai City.”
Under everyone’s expectant gazes, he continued, “Overthrow the Great Chang and West Wind and establish the Jiangsai Kingdom!”
Ah Yu :”…”
w.a.n.g Wulang and the others:”…”
Even the woman in red looked at her City Lord in surprise.
Although no one said anything, it was written all over their faces.. “You’re not awake yet?”
