Chapter 103
Gao Chenyi dashed towards them in rage. He slapped Meng Hao’s face and said to them coldly, “If you dare shout again, I’ll cut your tongues off.”
“Don’t worry. My holy awareness is only just able to capture them. They’re still far away. They couldn’t hear. Even if there is something wrong, my flying sword can handle it,” Elder Tree said in a calm and confident tone.
Gao Chenyi eased up and said, “Elder, don’t kill him directly. I’ll torture him! By the way, his holy awareness can also reach far away. Will he detect that we’re here?”
“I’ve isolated this place with my holy awareness. This is a dead zone for him,” Elder Tree said.
As for Jiang Chen, he suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Dorchid asked.
“They already know we’re here.”
Then she said to Jiang Chen, “I told you not to save her!”
Jiang Chen didn’t answer. No one knew whether he was regretting his decision.
“There is no right or wrong. We come from different standpoints,” Chu Luo said.
“But I saved you twice, didn’t I?” Jiang Chen said.
“Hum.” Chu Luo surely knew what she had done was wrong, so she was unwilling to keep arguing.
Elder Tree was browsing the book. Suddenly he found an illustration of the statue that was beside him.
“Oh? I did have this feeling that there was treasure here.”
Elder Tree maneuvered his flying sword towards the shield.
However, when it hit the shield, the sword flew off without leaving any trace on it.
“That’s not gonna work. This isn’t made from stone at all. It’s a seal,” Jiang Chen said.
“Do you know how to get these two things?” Elder Tree said.
“Sure. I can get them for you.” Then Jiang Chen walked towards the statue.
The flying sword flew over and landed in front of him.
Elder Tree laughed, “You weren’t even born yet when I began scheming against others. Give up. Tell me immediately how I can get the treasure.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes were dimmed with disappointment. He had lost his last chance.
“A spell. He mentioned he could get the treasure when he approached the statue and read a spell.” Chu Luo told them everything she knew to impress Gao Chenyi so that he would take her with him.
Gao Chenyi was decisive. His sword scratched Meng Hao’s skin. He said, “What’s the spell? Tell me!”
“Tell me in a low voice. Don’t shout it out!” Elder Tree said.
He thought the one reading the spell would be recognized by the treasure as its master, so he didn’t want Jiang Chen to get the chance.
“Jiang Chen, don’t tell them. As long as you don’t tell them, we’ll all die here. They’ll lose as well,” Wen Xin said.
“Princess, how cruel you are! But I don’t think Jiang Chen wants to see you violated.” Gao Chenyi was cutting her clothes off her with his sword while speaking.
“Enough!” Jiang Chen shouted. He told them the spell reluctantly. The spell was in a language from the Era of the Hero.
Elder Tree had to ask him to repeat it in order to memorize it, then he went up to the statue and read the spell.
As soon as the spell was read, the statue emitted an aura. The rock on the surface disappeared and the statue recovered its original color. Fire was burning on the horse’s four legs.
In the end, the horse gave a loud neigh. The general came to life and injected majestic power into his spear.
“Whoever dares intrude into the imperial mausoleum, die!”
The general drove the spear towards Elder Tree.
At the same time, the reluctance and the anxiety disappeared from Jiang Chen’s face. He gave a cold smile.
Neither the spear nor the shield were treasure. Together with the statue, they were killing tools used to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Jiang Chen’s spell had awakened the statue to kill any enemies.
All of these events, including Chu Luo’s betrayal, Jiang Chen had anticipated.
