Chapter 861

Attraction

In the Timeline Save File, one of the eleven people who seized the Red Star Fragments; the only [Emperor] of this era who overrode the Fourteen Divine Paths...

Back then in the Timeline Save File, if Chen Ling's Save Point hadn't exactly arrived, he probably would have really been chased to death by Ying Fu. Thanks to actively releasing the Mockery Calamity later, he barely managed to escape a disaster.

Even though they only met face-to-face once, Chen Ling would never forget those deep and sharp eyes, and the unique imperial Aura on his body that suppressed everything.

Chen Ling knew that the one he met in the Timeline Save File was the future Ying Fu. But now, he seemed to be about to become a witness to the birth of the [Emperor]...

Without any accidents, Ying Fu was right inside the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path right now!

Moreover, he should not have officially become the [Emperor] yet, or had just become the [Emperor]... In short, the current Ying Fu was like a newly bred newborn baby. He didn't have any "subjects", didn't know the abilities of any other Divine Pathways, and at most was only at the Third Tier.

Now was the best time to strangle Ying Fu in the cradle.

Chen Ling changed direction, walking straight towards the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path suspended in the air.

"Yes." Chen Ling nodded straightforwardly.

"..."

"Are you going to snatch the position of [Emperor]?" Sun Bumian spoke in surprise. "If that's the case, you can give up... We all have Divine Pathways on us, it's impossible to become the [Emperor]. It will only choose an Ordinary Person who doesn't belong to the Fourteen Divine Paths."

"I don't plan to snatch the [Emperor]..." Chen Ling said indifferently,

"I am going to kill the [Emperor]."

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 41%]

Jian Changsheng's mouth twitched, silently giving Chen Ling a thumbs up behind his back...

As expected of you, Six of Hearts!

"You want to murder an [Emperor] inside the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path?" Sun Bumian was shocked. "Not to mention whether you can succeed or not, even if the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path has already been defeated, it's not a place just anyone can enter, right..."

"I want to go try."

Chen Ling's tone was very calm, so calm that it drove Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian crazy.

In their view, Chen Ling had simply gone crazy. Originally, everyone was walking easily and comfortably to the Wuji Domain, everything was fine... Even if the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path emerged halfway, it had absolutely nothing to do with them. Just hiding on the side and watching the show would be fine.

When the [Emperor] emerged, the ones who should be anxious were the Human Domains. Why would a group of Dusk Society rebels like them get involved?

But they were not Chen Ling, nor did they have the [Imperial Fate]... They couldn't feel the calling of that Ancient Vault, nor could they feel his killing intent towards the [Emperor].

In one era, under one heaven, there shouldn't be two [Emperors].

Perhaps from the moment Chen Ling drew the [Imperial Fate], he and Ying Fu were destined, pushed by fate, to meet and kill each other until one side died...

But Sun Bumian didn't want to go to the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path. To Play It Safe had always been his rule in life. If he didn't court disasters, disasters wouldn't court him...

Seeing Chen Ling insist on going, he simply directly used [Fortune-Misfortune Divination], counting on his fingers:

"Hearts, with the emergence of the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, it's impossible for the Human Domains to sit idly by. It will be in great chaos there, why should we wade into this muddy water... Besides, ahead of here, there's an omen of Great Inauspiciousness."

Sun Bumian advised earnestly, and Jian Changsheng also nodded like a chick pecking at rice on the side.

"Then you guys can go to the Wuji Domain first." Chen Ling said without turning his head.

Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were stunned. Not knowing if it was an illusion, as that Great Crimson Theatrical Robe walked further away, the wind in the Gray World seemed to blow a bit more bitingly cold... Once Chen Ling left, their protective umbrella in the Gray World would also be gone.

Sun Bumian silently calculated the fortune and misfortune of the two of them crossing the Gray World by themselves...

Mm, Ten Deaths and No Life.

"I suddenly feel that the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path is also quite interesting." Sun Bumian pretended to cough twice, quickly catching up with Chen Ling. "I've never been there, I'll go take a look with you this time."

"With Rest Assured Brother here, I'm very rest assured." Jian Changsheng echoed on the side.

Chen Ling: ...

The three figures rushed straight towards the dazzling light and shadows in the distance.

...

At the same time.

At the entrance of the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, silently appeared out of thin air.

Bai Ye looked around. This place seemed to be the very bottom of the pyramid. A section of a stone platform extended out, with ninety-nine Giant Coiled Dragon Pillars standing on it, possessing an inexplicable sense of magnificence and solemn tragedy under the lead-gray firmament.

"It really is the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path." Mo Lian sized up the giant pillars around him, speaking in surprise. "It's just a pity that this place has already turned into ruins, and what's carved on the pillars are also all incomplete dragons..."

"The Path of the Sovereign has already declined for hundreds of years. Being able to have a portion preserved is already very good." Bai Ye said indifferently.

"So, the residual power in this Ancient Vault should also be quite weak, right?"

Hearing these words, Bai Ye turned his head to look at him, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't forget, we are Thief Saints... Isn't this Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path just a massive imperial tomb gathering all the Emperors from ancient times to the present?" Mo Lian seemed somewhat excited.

Imperial tombs and thieves... Not to mention, Mo Lian's idea was indeed reasonable for the Path of the Thief.

Bai Ye looked at the magnificent Ancient Vault in front of him, a faint smile also curling up at the corners of his mouth. "... You're right. This is indeed more interesting than killing people."

As the Queen of Hearts of the Dusk Society, it was naturally impossible for Bai Ye to be a person who followed the rules. With such an Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path full of unknowns and surprises in front of him, to say he was completely unmoved would be impossible.

Bai Ye walked straight forward along the Giant Coiled Dragon Pillars. A magnificent stone door stood at the end of the stone platform. It was precisely the entrance to the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path.

From the corner of his eye, Mo Lian glanced down at his feet. As if sensing something, his fingertips gently rubbed the residual dust on the ground.

"Someone has been here, and quite a few... It should be that group of children."

"It's probably them who triggered the emergence of the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path." Bai Ye was thoughtful. "It seems among this group of people, there is someone with an affinity for the Imperial Path."

"Interesting... Then we'll steal their opportunity, and kill them in passing. It'll be easier to report to the King when we go back."

Without a second word, Mo Lian stepped forward and pushed forcefully. But no matter how much force he exerted, the stone door didn't budge an inch.

One must know, he was a Seventh Rank Thief Saint. Although he wasn't good at strength, such a door shouldn't be completely immovable for him... Right at this moment, Bai Ye spoke unhurriedly:

"How could the dead Emperors let thieves enter their tomb from the main entrance? Mo Lian, it seems you're regressing as you live."

"... Tch."

Mo Lian slowly stood up. His black Cane gently tapped the ground. As the sound echoed beside his ears, he seemed to have caught something, his sharp gaze looking towards a certain position above the Ancient Vault...

"The flaw, is there."
