Chapter 332
Chapter 332 – Nine Bronze Plates
The arrival of the men from the Martial Palace immediately attracted the attention of everyone. These mighty warriors would become the center of attention no matter where they went.
“Look, the men from the Martial Palace are here as well!”
“They are the real geniuses of the Martial Palace, so powerful! They’ve all reached the Combat Soul realm before reaching 30 years of age! Look at those two men, they’re both Mid Combat Soul warriors, this is crazy!”
“I’ve heard about these men, both of them are geniuses from the Martial Saint Dynasty, and are cultivating in the Martial Palace. The first person is the Nine Emperor’s son, and his name is Wu Lang. The other is the son of the Tenth Emperor, and his name is Wu Cong. Both of them are princes from the Martial Saint Dynasty. Regardless of background or statues, none of us can ever compare with them.”
…………
None present were not startled. These geniuses from the Martial Palace truly stood out from the rest, especially the two outstanding men from the Martial Saint Dynasty. They were the majestic princes of the current dynasty, and more importantly, their cultivations had reached such a mighty level before reaching becoming 30 years old! They were unable to help but start feeling respect for these two.
“Ling Du is here to pay his respect to the princes.”
The crowds stood about 40 meters away from the ancient pagoda, staring at it.
“The treasures must be hidden within this ancient pagoda. It looks really mystical, with all the mysterious runes engraved onto it.”
Shangguan Yihong commented.
“Precisely, this place is the center of the Island of Ice, there is nothing else here except for this ancient pagoda! I’m certain the real treasure is hidden within!”
Ling Du added.
“Let’s enter the pagoda!”
Wu Cong shouted. He was the first person to march toward the ancient pagoda. Soon after, the crowds had all gathered in front of the ancient pagoda’s entrance. It was an aged stone door, and it looked really thick and solid.
“Yang Yun, break this stone door.”
Wu Cong ordered.
“Yes, prince.”
Yang Yun dared not neglect Wu Cong’s orders, he immediately walked up to the stone door. He circulated his Yuan and threw a punch containing tremendous force at the stone door.
Rumble…
The ground shook from the tremendous force. A dull banging sound came from the stone door, but it didn’t break like the crowd had expected it to. An Early Combat Soul warrior’s powerful punch could even shatter a small mountain, but this punch did nothing to do stone door!
More importantly, not only did Yang Yun’s not break the stone door, it didn’t even move its foundation!
“The stone door is too powerful, it looks like we can’t open it with force.”
Someone said.
“Hmph! Let me dry!”
Wu Cong harrumphed. He slowly raised his palm, suddenly unleashing a bright beam, then he threw it at the stone door.
Rumble…
The ground shook even more violently than it did before. But too bad, nothing happened to the stone door this time either.
“What?!”
Wu Cong was shocked, “Even I can’t break this stone door? There must be some amazing treasures hiding in this ancient pagoda!”
Crack…
Right after Wu Cong finished speaking, some pieces of stone began falling off from the stone door’s surface, and nine holes revealed themselves in front of the crowd. Each of them was about the same size as a human’s palm.
“Look, what’s that? They look like some sort of switches!”
Shangguan Yilong pointed his finger at the stone door.
At this moment, everyone threw their glance at the stone door. They immediately saw nine palm-sized holes had appeared on the stone door.
“Why does the shape of these holes look so familiar to me?”
Shangguan Yilong said with a frown on his face.
“The bronze plate!”
Wu Cong suddenly shouted out. He flipped his palm and retrieved a broken bronze plate, then he compared the shape of the bronze plate in his hand to the holes on the stone door. Indeed, they were a perfect fit!
“I finally know what this broken bronze plate is for; it’s the key to the ancient pagoda!”
Shangguan Yilong flipped his palm and retrieved another bronze plate.
“I have one too!”
Ling Du took out another one.
“Me too.”
Wu Lang had one bronze plate as well. All of them had gotten the plates in the Gates of Life and Death.
“I also have one!”
Another young genius from the Martial Palace had one bronze plate as well. Now, there were five bronze plates!
“Who else has a bronze plate? We need nine bronze plates in order to open the stone door, it won’t open without all nine of them. If anyone has one, please take it out, we can share the treasures found in the ancient pagoda!”
Wu Cong looked around the crowd as he spoke. None of them knew the exact purpose of these bronze plates, but now they did. In order to open the ancient pagoda, they needed all nine bronze plates. With just the five bronze plates they had now, they stone door wouldn’t open.
“Who still has one? Please take them out right now.”
Shangguan Yilong turned around and looked at the crowd. Then, he immediately saw a majestic big yellow dog not standing too far away from him! And there were also two men standing next to the dog!
“Big Yellow!”
Shangguan Yilong instantly shouted out. Without any doubts, this dog and two men were the three bastards they had been searching for!
