Chapter 438 - Men of Sacrifice
Murong Long’s team had noticed the pillar and the palace, too.
After exclaiming, they ran towards the palace, apparently thinking there had to be extremely valuable treasure inside.
Jiang Chen was hiding behind a giant rock. Here, holy awareness didn’t work, so he wasn’t afraid of being found.
The spiritual monkey’s hair stood on end upon seeing those people approach the palace. It grasped the corner of Jiang Chen’s clothes nervously.
No matter what kind of miserable thing would happen, Jiang Chen would be happy to see the Murongs’ team suffer.
Under his curious and expectant gaze, the team stopped outside the palace.
They were excited, but not rash. Holding a formation disk, one of them walked around the palace.
He was curious why the Dragon Dynasty had been willing to make such a big effort to build such a grand palace to contain these people.
“They were the rebel army fighting in the Dragon Rebellion!”
“Gosh. It’s the royal family of the Dragon Dynasty that’s kept here.”
“Well, is this only a prison?”
Those familiar with the history of the Dragon Field solved Jiang Chen’s puzzle.
These prisoners had been members of the royal family. Even though they had been doing their time here, the cells had to live up to their identities.
No wonder the palace looked so grand from the outside, while the inside was so desolate.
There couldn’t have been any valuable treasure hidden in a prison, but these people were reluctant to accept the reality. They turned the place upside down. In the end, they looked to the cages hanging in the air.
Obsessed with the treasure, they cast eyes on the mummies.
“Don’t you dare offend the ancestors of the Dragon Dynasty!”
Suddenly, a growl pushed these people back. Su Xing was standing on an iron chain, full of anger.
“These people were members of the royal family of the Dragon Dynasty. They’re the ancestors of the Evil Cloud Palace,” said Su Xing.
People began a heated discussion.
The Evil Cloud Palace had been founded by the remaining supporters of the Dragon Dynasty, as known by most people from the Dragon Field, but it was just hearsay that had never been confirmed. The Evil Cloud Palace had never talked about it, either.
However, Su Xing finally admitted it and deemed himself a descendant of the Dragon Dynasty.
“Su Xing, why are you so nervous? Are there any secrets hidden in these mummies?” Murong Long questioned him, not intimidated.
“What kind of treasure could be hidden in mummies?” Su Xing said disapprovingly.
“Let’s search.” Murong Long was aggressive, unwilling to take a single step back.
Su Xing had a cutting look on his face as he looked over sharply.
“I won’t be scared off.” Murong Long let out an odd laugh, as frightening as Su Xing.
Then Li Nanxing spoke. “There’s no treasure hidden in these mummies, but each mummy itself is a piece of valuable treasure.”
What he said was shocking. It started an uproar. Su Xing paled.
“They haven’t decayed, even though 1,000 years have passed. It’s unusual indeed.”
It dawned on the crowd. They cheered up and felt less frightened of Su Xing. Besides, Murong Long and Li Nanxing were there. As long as they moved fast enough, they could get as much as they could carry.
“Hahaha.” Su Xing burst into laughter all of a sudden. He didn’t try to cover his aggressive evil energy at all. It gushed out, shaking all of the iron chains and creating a great disturbance.
“You’re about to die, but you’re still so greedy. I don’t feel any pity for you,” said Su Xing.
“Su Xing, what did you mean?” said Murong Long coldly.
“This is bad.”
Something occurred to Jiang Chen. He looked towards the cages again. When he had confirmed his assumption, he shouted loudly, “These mummies have been turned into men of sacrifice!”
They only needed the order to come alive.
Different from the men of sacrifice that had functioned as guards, these imprisoned ones were exponentially stronger.
“This is an Evil Cloud Palace conspiracy!”
The small world wasn’t accessible to Venerables, but what if there had been Venerables here before the restriction was imposed?
They would be able to kill lots of people, essentially invincible.
