“I’ll kill you!”
Chu Luo flew into a great rage when she realized she had been fooled. She picked up her sword and swung it at him.
She really meant it. Her attack was aggressive and overwhelming. It seemed she didn’t care whether Jiang Chen was injured or killed.
She became even more furious when she thought of the idea of marriage that she had had. She swore she would make Jiang Chen pay the price.
“Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you?” Dorchid shouted.
After the conversation, she tumbled to the realization that Jiang Chen had only wanted to teach Chu Luo a lesson. Not until then, did she ease up.
If Jiang Chen really were a womanizer, he would have come after her too…
“He asked for it!”
Chu Luo didn’t listen to her. The class-three spiritual sword in her hand emitted a brilliant radiance. She attacked Jiang Chen with an effective and direct sword movement.
“I don’t think you’re a match for me.” Jiang Chen smiled. He raised the Redcloud Sword casually and defused her attack.
“The spirit of the sword?!”
Chu Luo was surprised. Jiang Chen had killed Crane the Third with only one sword movement, but she hadn’t seen the spirit of the sword. That was why she thought she was stronger than Jiang Chen.
“You aren’t a match for me, even if you attack me all together. Besides, it’s your apprentice sister who proposed to exchange sex for your life.”
Jiang Chen took one step forward. It looked like an average movement, but Chu Luo was forced to step back.
“He is good,” Chu Luo thought silently. She had no countermeasure at all against his movement.
“Hum.”
She had to give up and throw in the towel.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn’t continue the fight. He took the book out of the mustardseed ring.
The temporary peace in this place allowed him to take some time to find a way out.
This wouldn’t be easy. The book in his hand wasn’t a map, nor was it a guide to teach people how to survive.
It was the official record, written by an architect of the underground imperial mausoleum. In the book, he talked about the mausoleum’s scale and structure, the traditions of the Vermillion Bird State, and so on.
The mausoleum needed to be enlarged every time a king died. The writer was the mausoleum’s last architect.
The first thing Jiang Chen wanted to confirm was whether there was an exit. He wasn’t sure whether the architect had mentioned it in the book.
All of a sudden, he was struck dumb. He found the page he was reading was about the exact palace where they were.
Dorchid, Chu Luo, and the others saw Jiang Chen reading one moment and the next, looking around the place.
Then, he suddenly jumped onto a stone statue. The statue extended one of its hands palm up.
In the palm, Jiang Chen found a lamp.
The lamp pole was made from jade and was emitting a light green radiance. The lamp pole supported a garnet lotus, a blooming lotus with crystal clear petals. In the center, a wick was burning.
Jiang Chen used his mind, and the light suddenly extinguished. Darkness shrouded the whole palace.
The female disciples of the Isle of Sky screamed out in fear of danger.
Fortunately, the light came back in a short while. Jiang Chen was back to the ground with the lamp in his hand.
Almost out of instinct from practicing, they instantly knew that lamp was a gorgeous treasure. They envied Jiang Chen a lot, especially Chu Luo. If Jiang Chen hadn’t found it first, she would definitely scramble for it.
“How did you know there was a lamp? From the book?” Dorchid asked curiously.
“Yes. This place is called the Soul Leading Palace. This lamp is called the Soul Leading Lamp. It’s a powerful treasure. The Vermillion Bird State must have been very powerful and rich that they could use such a treasure as decoration,” Jiang Chen said.
“You just said there was an exit, so there is one. It’s just you haven’t found it?” Dorchid asked him.
Chu Luo and the other female disciples looked over to Jiang Chen. Their eyes were even brighter than the lamp.
Chu Luo approached Jiang Chen all of a sudden. She looked at the book in haste, but only saw characters she didn’t understand.
“I’m the only one who understands this book,” Jiang Chen said.
“So, go on reading. See whether there is an exit,” the female disciples said excitedly.
“If there is, can we do a transaction?”
Jiang Chen didn’t hurry to read the book, but looked at Chu Luo with smile. The latter showed an interesting expression. All in all, she had just attacked Jiang Chen. At the moment, she didn’t know how to respond to him.
At the same time, in a dim passage, a light ball was hanging in the air and moving forward. Following it were two men walking in tandem.
“Young Master Chenyi, I didn’t know there were demons. When the door was closed, those Mental Wander States of other groups and I were all shut out.”
The man walking ahead was in his forties. With a big forehead and a hook nose, his looks were impressive at first sight.
“Elder Tree, are you sure the other groups have no more Mental Wander States left?” the youngster behind him said coldly.
The light ball illuminated his face. It was Gao Chenyi, who was ranked eighth on the Prince List.
The earthquake was so large and strong that the hall at the other side of the iron door had collapsed and produced a big hole in the ground. That was how he found a ladder leading down.
At the same time, the door of the hall was also broken. In this way, those Mental Wander States tagging along finally entered the hall.
By then, there were several dead bodies around Gao Chenyi. There were people of each group, all killed by him.
The Guardian Elder of the Grand Qi State, the elder of the Isle of Sky and the leader of the Gang of Knife and Sword were going to kill Gao Chenyi when they saw the blood on his sword.
But thanks to the power of Elder Tree of the Gaos, he killed all three of them, even though it was a one-to-three fight.
However, the passage through which they came had been blocked, so Gao Chenyi and Elder Tree could only choose to go down the ladder to look for the exit.
Suddenly, they heard a disquieting disturbance ahead of them.
Elder Tree’s eyes lit up and the light ball sped up and flew forward. By the blue light, they saw some demons dashing towards them from the four walls of the passage.
Gao Chenyi turned pale and stepped behind the elder unconsciously.
“Don’t worry, young master. There aren’t many.”
Elder Tree was calm. He waved his hand and a flying sword flew out from his sleeve. The sword flew forward at a rapid speed.
As it passed, the walls cracked gradually.
Soon, the flying sword flew into the flock of demons. With many screams, their bodies were shattered to pieces.
Hundreds of demons were killed by one sword.
“These were crappy demons. Besides, they were pretty weak.”
Elder Tree took his flying sword back. The two kept advancing.
Soon, they came to a stone chamber.
“Someone has been here.”
It looked like the stone chamber had been ransacked. There was almost nothing left.
There was a door on the other side of the chamber. The two approached it and heard people talking.
“Princess Wen Xin, do you think this is a coffin chamber?”
“Hopefully it’s not. Coffin chambers usually only have one entrance. In this case, it’s the prison where we came from, and now we have no way to go back.”
“I’m wondering what happened to Jiang Chen.”
Gao Chenyi’s eyes lit up. He entered the room and saw Deagle, Wen Xin, and Meng Hao as expected. As for the other people, he didn’t pay any attention.
“Elder Tree, take them down!”
Since he had help from a Mental Wander State, Gao Chenyi was resolute to take out his anger.
These three were Jiang Chen’s companions. They were his biggest target.
