Chapter 1882: A Two Man Con Group
The exterior of the palace was simple and elegant . It was three hundred meters tall and was built at the peak of the mountain . It was surrounded by immortal mist, and there was a certain sound coming from within it . It seemed to be the music of a Grand Dao .
The three of them hastily rushed over to the palace . When they were standing in front of it, they found that every brick and tile had runes flowing through them . It was a majestic and grand sight .
“These are formation runes that lead to the outside world . They’re absorbing some of the outside world’s energy to maintain this world’s reincarnation . Clearly, the master of this world was not at the level of creating a completely independent and complete world,” said Yue Xiaoqian after examining the runes .
Mo Nian and Long Chen nodded . This palace was emitting an aura identical to the outside world . It was absorbing the outside world’s energy to nourish this world .
This was why the master of this world had placed this minor world within a place of such great feng shui .
They walked over to the gates and found that no matter how they pushed, they couldn’t open them . There was a vast energy preventing them from entering .
“This is troublesome . These gates have a mechanism, and it requires a huge amount of pure spiritual yuan to open . The three of us combined don’t have enough spiritual yuan,” said Mo Nian after studying the runes .
Yue Xiaoqian nodded . “These are the nine drake gate locking runes . To open the gates requires a huge amount of spiritual yuan, and there’s no way the three of us have close to enough . ”
“Hehe, I’ve got it . ” Long Chen and Mo Nian looked around . Their sights fell on two divine statues . A wicked chuckle rang out .
…
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, Gui Can, and all the experts that they had brought charged into this minor world . As soon as they entered, they were dumbfounded . They had thought that this place was a tomb, but it actually appeared full of life .
When they arrived at the bridge, someone said, “There used to be a lake here, but the water’s gone . It seems that Mo Nian and Long Chen have already taken it .
“It doesn’t matter . They’ll have to spit it out in the end . We’ve already placed a formation on the exit . They won’t be able to escape,” sneered someone else .
Other than Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can, there were two thousand four hundred Empyreans . They were all experts amongst experts, on the level of Empyreans who had begun awakening their manifestations .
Long Chen and Mo Nian would only be faced with death once they were surrounded . These people were mostly Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can’s followers . The three of them viewed these people with favor, so their power was definitely great .
Not only was there a grand formation protecting the place that they had entered from, but there were three hundred experts left guarding it . Even a fly wouldn’t be able to escape .
“Let’s go . We won’t let those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds ruin the treasures . ”
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can rapidly advanced and quickly saw the palace . With a shout, all the experts surrounded it .
They had just arrived when a beam of divine light soared into the sky from the palace . It was like it had sensed their arrival and come to life . Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can immediately became still, circulating their spiritual yuan in defense .
Unbeknownst to them, Yue Xiaoqian was on top of the two mythological beast statues in front of the gates to the palace . The devil character was s.h.i.+ning on her forehead, and the light from it enveloped her, Long Chen, and Mo Nian . She was using a secret art of the original devil race to conceal them .
Mo Nian’s hands were pressed against one of the statues . His spiritual yuan activated its divine runes, causing the palace to light up . It was like the palace was greeting the newcomers .
“The Grand Dao is formless, the Grand Dao is emotionless . Those who pa.s.s these gates must have destiny . The formless Grand Dao s.h.i.+nes brightly at its end, the emotionless Grand Dao is one and separate…”
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can had just arrived when divine chanting filled the air . The music of a Grand Dao rang out .
The voice continued to ring out through the air . “Those who pa.s.s my gates must show their karma . Good or evil, right or wrong…”
Mo Nian was constantly sending spiritual yuan into the statue . As he watched Long Chen spout nonsense to con these people, he almost laughed . Despite knowing it was clearly a con, he almost believed it himself .
On the other hand, Yue Xiaoqian was tense . If these people noticed something off, the three of them would be doomed .
Long Chen’s voice was not actually his own . It was going through the Heaven Flipping Seal, making the voice deeper, stronger, and divine-sounding .
A few experts immediately tried to push open the gates . As a result, the gates’ runes lit up, forcing them back .
Just at this moment, Long Chen’s divine voice rang out once more . “The destined people have already entered . Others are lacking destiny and require spiritual yuan to activate the nine drake gate locking runes . If you cannot open the gates, then you have no destiny at all . If you can open the gates, be devout of heart and pay respects to the divine statues to accept your blessing . ”
“Nine drake gate locking runes? Those are ancient type divine runes! They require a huge amount of spiritual yuan to open,” said an expert from the ancient family alliance .
“It seems Long Chen and Mo Nian have already entered . We can’t wait any longer . If the two of them obtain a complete inheritance and gain the protection of the tomb, it will be difficult to kill them here,” said Gui Can darkly .
Di Feng frowned . He felt like something was off, but he couldn’t say what exactly .
True Immortal Jiaoqi waved his hand, and the experts from his side came out . The first one pressed his hand against the stone gate, while the second pressed his hand against the back of that person . Forming a chain, all those experts began to pour their spiritual yuan in .
Following them, Gui Can’s experts also took action . Seeing that, Di Feng could only gesture to his subordinates to follow along .
Other than their own followers, others had also come . Those people had come with the purpose of killing the experts stubbornly clinging to the Martial Heaven Alliance out of loyalty . This was an opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to the Martial Heaven Alliance . As for the treasures, they would obtain them conveniently .
Over two thousand experts began pouring their spiritual yuan into the gates . Their runes lit up, growing brighter and brighter .
With everyone working hard, the gates slowly began to shudder .
“More! The gates are about to open!”
Shockingly, these gates, which had looked to open left and right, were opening upward . The gates slowly began to rise .
“Why is it so slow?!” That person’s voice quivered . Quite a few people were sweating . Their spiritual yuan was rapidly being sucked away . In just a couple breaths’ time, they had used up the majority of their spiritual yuan .
“Activate your manifestations!”
All the experts activated their manifestations, sucking up the energy of heaven and earth to replenish their spiritual yuan . However, there were so many of them that there wasn’t much energy for each of them to absorb .
“Hold on! It’s about to open!”
There was almost a foot-thick opening now . A bit more and it would be possible to squeeze through .
However, True Immortal Jiaoqi’s expression was dark . His body was too big to enter such a small hole .
When the opening was two feet wide, Di Feng and Gui Can were capable of entering, but they didn’t yet . It wasn’t because they were righteous, but because they were worried that Long Chen and Mo Nian were inside, waiting to sneak attack them . Waiting for all three of them to enter was safer .
The experts were pale . Some of them were on the verge of collapse .
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of midair, charging through the three-feet-wide opening .
“It’s her!”
Upon seeing that figure, Di Feng’s expression changed . He immediately recognized that it was Yue Xiaoqian .
“Where do you think you’re going?!”
Yue Xiaoqian had just entered when two figures rapidly followed . They were so fast that it was impossible to see their faces .
“Long Chen, Mo Nian!”
Both True Immortal Jiaoqi and Di Feng let out startled cries upon recognizing them .
“It’s been hard on you . Let me give you a gift as thanks . ” Mo Nian laughed, his bow appearing in his hand .
BOOM!
An arrow exploded in front of the gate . Those closest to the gates were directly blown to bits .
With those experts slain, the others lost their connection to the gates, and the flow of spiritual yuan came to a stop . The gates instantly shut, shaking the entire palace .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! We were duped!” Di Feng clenched his teeth furiously . He had felt that something was wrong, and now he knew that Long Chen and Mo Nian had been conning them . They had actually used all of them to open the gates and snuck in .
“f.u.c.k!” One of the Xuan Beast experts roared furiously . His divine hammer viciously struck the gates .
“Be careful!” Di Feng’s expression suddenly changed, but it was too late .
BOOM!
Light exploded out of the gates . The divine item in that expert’s hand exploded .
The fragments of the divine item blasted through the surrounding experts . Their spiritual yuan was almost exhausted, and caught off-guard, they were struck . Over thirty experts were slain by the fragments combined with the divine power of the gates .
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can’s expressions darkened . This was a naked insult .
“Have the people guarding the entrance come over . Also, send out a request for reinforcements . ” Di Feng gave orders grimly . He had to hurry .
