Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C177
Mu Xiaoling glanced around and returned the jade slip back into his spatial ring. He then walked over to the entrance. However, before he could get near the entrance, he was stopped by three families.
Those people’s attitudes weren’t very good. One of them impatiently said, “This place doesn’t seem to be clear. If you want to live, go somewhere else!”
Mu Xiaoling felt that these people were very strange. With her hearing ability, she didn’t need to be too close to hear them, so she didn’t attack. Instead, she found a place to stand against a large tree and began to use her true essence to give her ears to those people leading the three families.
Zhong Bao said, “According to the divination of the Imperial Advisor, the location of the treasure is here. However, this door has yet to be opened. Do we have to continue wasting time here?”
Qing Yuan snorted coldly. “Do you have any other way? If the shrine doors don’t open, what can we do? Do we just force our way in?”
“He barged in?” Xuan laughed: “Who wants to die? Don’t you see there are a few corpses in front of the windows in the main hall? If you’re not afraid of dying, go try it out.”
Mu Xiaoling’s gaze followed the direction that Xuan Wuji had pointed and found that there were at least a dozen charred corpses by the side of the window.
“Enough, enough. Instead of wasting so much time on nonsense, it would be better to think of a way to enter.” Zhong Zikun interrupted their conversation, “Don’t say that those old fellows outside did not prepare a backup plan.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They were prepared for it. When the three clan leaders realized that they couldn’t enter, they took out their clan’s secret treasures and handed them over to them. However, none of them wanted to take them out in advance.
After all, if they took it out first, they would lose their security.
“At a time like this, can it be that you want to hide away? If you don’t take out your treasures and destroy the door to the shrine, none of us want to go in.” Zhong Zikun glanced at them and then took out a long staff, “This is the Mysterious Cloud Rod, it is a king grade weapon.”
Qing Yuan and Yu Xuan relaxed a little when they saw Zhong Zikun take out the bow. Qing Yuan took out a large golden bow and said, “This bow is called the Secret Huang Bow. It is also the Emperor Armament of the Qing Clan.”
Kuangxuan also took out a jade ruyi, “This is the ruyi of the clouds, it is the emperor’s weapon of my Qiong family.”
The reason the three clans were able to rule the seven countries was because each clan had at least one Royal Armament.
The three of them smiled at each other, forming an alliance for the time being. They aimed at the gates to the divine hall, then took out jade tablets and aimed them at their respective king artifacts.
With their strength, they naturally wouldn’t be able to display the power of a king level entity. Thus, the Patriarchs had long ago instilled their true essence into the jade tablet, allowing them to enter into the mystic realm.
The three of them crushed the jade tablet together. Boundless true essence rushed into the King Armament, causing the three weapons to react. Then, they all shot towards the door.
Mu Xiaoling felt that this must be the godly temple that he was talking about. Moreover, the structure of the door was similar to a device that was completely devoid of any energy. This person seemed to be attacking, but in reality, the power was being absorbed by Mu Xiaoling’s zhen yuan as it approached the door.
The true essence within the King’s Artifact was much lesser, but the true essence within that door was still far inferior.
At this time, something happened. The three divine tools were sucked into the palm of the three people by a strange suction force. In the blink of an eye, they turned into motes of light and flew into the door.
In this lower realm, let alone the king artifacts, even spirit artifacts were rare. The three families combined had less than ten royal artifacts, but in the blink of an eye, three of them had been crippled. But what could they do?
Fortunately, at this time, the previously unmoving door of the hall slowly cracked open a crack and gradually grew larger.
However, although the others couldn’t see it, Mu Xiaoling could clearly see that the amount of true essence within the door was only enough to open for ten seconds.
If he didn’t enter for ten seconds, he would definitely close the door again.
She did not hesitate and immediately pushed her Meteor Steps to the extreme, skipping past the crowd and entering the main hall like a hurricane.
The fourth group of people were simply dumbfounded. In front of them were the three Zhong, Qiong, and Qing families, each of which had more than a hundred people guarding them. Even if they wanted to do this, they still wouldn’t dare to move.
However, Mu Xiaoling’s action was the beginning of their plan. They immediately followed them inside. However, the three great families reacted and hastily stopped them. Of course, because of the chaos, they had slipped through the net.
After seeing that it was Mu Xiaoling, Xuan Wuji was slightly surprised. He could still hear the message from that person, “The energy is insufficient. The door will close in five breaths.”
Zhong Zikun and Qing Yuan were furious beyond words. Just as they were about to speak to Kuang Xuan, he waved his hand. “Disciples of the Qiong Clan, enter the hall immediately!” After he finished speaking, he did not waste any time with them and directly flew into the hall.
Zhong Zikun and Qing Yuan were shocked by the dominion’s actions. They gnashed their teeth in anger and waited for the others to follow them in before patting the door. In the blink of an eye, the door started to close.
The door closed, and the last crack disappeared. There were less than 130 people inside the hall, 100 of them belonging to the Vault Family, and the Qing and Zhong Families together had less than 30 people.
Zhong Zikun gritted his teeth as he stared at Xuan Wuji, “Yu Xuan, you know this door can only be opened for a few breaths of time, why didn’t you tell me beforehand!”
Before Zhong Zikun could finish his words, the people of the Qiong family glared at him. It was a joke since the Qiong family members were the most numerous in the main hall. If they dared to speak to their Young Lord like this, they would kill all of you here.
Zhong Zikun also realized that something was wrong. He immediately took two steps back and hid in the camp of the dozen or so members of the Zhong Family.
Qing Yuan immediately came out to smooth things over. “Zikun is a bit too impatient. Brother Qiong, why bother with him? There are only the three of us here, so we need to cooperate.”
A youth from the Qiong family stood out and disdainfully glanced at the other two families, saying, “With just your little people, you still want to cooperate with us? How shameless are you?”
These words almost made Zhong Zikun and Qing Yuan angry to the point that their noses were crooked, but they held it in.
Kuangxuan walked out from behind them with a smile on his face. “Sure, sure.”
“Now that our problem has been explained, we should solve the other problems.” Zhong Zikun walked back out of the crowd and glanced at the other three.
One of them was Mu Xiaoling, the other two were fat and smiling, with an honest look on his face. He was wearing a monastic robe, holding a string of black buddhist beads, while the other was tall and had a murderous look on his face. A scar ran from his left forehead all the way to his right chin, and his eyes were as big as bells.
The fat monk smiled kindly. “All of you are filled with killing intent. Not good, not good at all.”
