Chapter 825: The Embroidered Uniform Guard is late but arrives

~7 min read 1,394 words

Chen Guanlou was silent for a moment, seemingly finally making up his mind.

"The time is coming, what should we do next?"

Zhang Daohe instantly breathed a sigh of relief, very satisfied with his sensibility, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Bring the sacrifice up!"

The cult bandit obeyed, and soon a humanoid object was dragged up and discarded on the shore.

Jin Fulai slashed with a knife, the humanoid object twitched, too weak to even make a painful cry. Blood flowed out, not wasting a single bit, all caught in the ink box, and then mixed with cinnabar, Jin Fulai started drawing symbols on the spot.

Chen Guanlou:...

He looked at the humanoid object, white hair like weeds, covering the whole face. Thin as a dried corpse.

He rushed up and lifted the messy hair of the humanoid object. "Wang Qiren? You are Wang Qiren! You are actually still alive."

Wang Qiren seemed to have only the last breath left. His vision was damaged, he tried very hard to see, and tried very hard to look up. "So it's you, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"You..." He turned his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Daohe. "You didn't kill him, you kept him as a blood bank all along?"

"He is a descendant of the previous dynasty's aristocratic family, how could I bear to kill him, I treasure him too late. Letting him be a blood bank is his honor. In his lifetime, being able to witness everything, how lucky. Most of the people of his era have already returned to dust and earth, only he is lucky enough to witness the miracle."

Zhang Daohe looked pious, as if he were the representative of the immortals in this era. Treating Wang Qiren as a blood bank was a gift from the immortals. People must know how to be grateful!

How can you blame?

Ignorant humans!

Properly a cult member.

As expected of a folk secret organization that plays cult brainwashing.

"At the beginning, you racked your brains to be caught and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, just to inquire about his whereabouts and plan to break out of prison?" Chen Guanlou asked.

"Yes! Planned for so many years, finally waited for this day."

"At that time, you didn't know about this ancient tomb."

"But I know that the descendants of the previous dynasty's aristocratic family are very useful. The previous dynasty's aristocratic families were almost all killed. It is not easy to find the Wang family."

"If there was no Wang Qiren, who did you plan to kidnap?"

"Wang Qiren is the safest candidate. His disappearance, I am sure your Heavenly Prison will take the initiative to clean up for me and hide it from everyone. Look, I bet right. This matter is thanks to Warden Chen, the method of replacing the peach with the plum is indeed easy to use. If there was no Wang Qiren, the Nanshan Marquis mansion was also a choice. It's just a pity that the bloodline of the Nanshan Marquis mansion is not as good as the Wang family. The effect should be a little worse."

Chen Guanlou continued to ask, "What is your purpose in killing the Nanshan Marquis?"

Zhang Daohe was extremely frank this time. "Do you know that the use of the descendants of the previous dynasty's aristocratic family has a strict requirement, and that is age. This was verified after several tests.

We all thought that the younger the blood, the better the effect, but it is not. Here, the older the age, the better the effect. I have Wang Qiren, so the Nanshan Marquis became redundant, so he must die. He cannot fall into the hands of the Emperor, and the Emperor cannot have more chips."

"Time is up!" Jin Fulai roared, and the scene instantly became solemn.

Chen Guanlou looked up at the moon in the sky, then at the hourglass, and it was indeed two quarters past Zi time, and the time officially entered August 15th.

The moon in the sky is very bright.

The earth is clear under the moonlight.

Jin Fulai walked onto the altar, started the ritual, and recited a series of spells quickly in his mouth.

"Break!"

With a break, the symbol was infused with powerful power, like a cannonball smashing into the center of the water.

Boom!

A loud noise, like a cannonball exploding in the water, stirred up a monstrous wave. The water ripples spread to the shore, layer by layer, layer upon layer, and a layer of brilliance flashed faintly.

"Break!"

Another symbol infused with power smashed into the center of the water.

Another explosion, water light filled the sky.

Break!

Break!

Break!

Following Jin Fulai's breaks one after another, Chen Guanlou finally saw clearly that there seemed to be a light shield in the center of the water, a transparent light shield. The water wrapped around the light shield, seemingly weak, but indestructible.

This underground palace was indeed as difficult to open as imagined.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the way to open it was to use magic, and magic had to use the blood of Wang Qiren, a descendant of the previous dynasty's aristocratic family.

"It seems we came at the right time."

On the hillside, a roar suddenly came.

Chen Guanlou looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance. Xiao Jincheng of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and a group of Embroidered Uniform Guard subordinates, twenty or thirty people broke into this territory together.

"Wang Qiren's blood seems to be not enough. Why not use the one I brought, how about that?"

As soon as the words fell, another humanoid object was discarded on the shore.

Chen Guanlou recognized at a glance that the person brought by the Embroidered Uniform Guard was actually the second son of the Jin Prince's mansion, who had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, named Song Yuanzheng.

If I remember correctly, the concubine of the second branch of the Marquis mansion was married to this person as a concubine.

"Lord Xiao, you actually..."

Xiao Jincheng led people down the cliff and came to the shore. The two sides were on guard against each other, all putting their hands on the knife handles at their waists, looking like they would chop each other down if they didn't agree.

Zhang Daohe frowned, kicked the unconscious Song Yuanzheng on the ground. "Mere Embroidered Uniform Guard, dare to block my Holy Sect."

"Mere... hahaha..." Xiao Jincheng laughed wildly.

It was the first time Chen Guanlou saw the other party laugh so wantonly, laughing so arrogantly. Sure enough, it looked decent when not laughing, and it was a proper big villain when laughing.

"The people behind me, how many can you kill, Cult Leader Zhang? Do you really think the Embroidered Uniform Guard dared to take this trip without preparation? You White Lotus Sect made such a big movement, if the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't participate, wouldn't the world scold the Embroidered Uniform Guard for being incompetent."

Chen Guanlou narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of subordinates behind Xiao Jincheng. They were unfamiliar, and their cultivation was unfathomable. I dare not say that everyone is a ninth-rank, but there are definitely many ninth-rank martial artists. Looking at their faces, they are more like... eunuchs in the palace.

Sure enough, Xiao Jincheng was on an imperial mission this time.

Zhang Daohe frowned.

Chen Guanlou simply said to him: "The underground palace has not been opened yet, what is the situation below, how many treasures, how many dangers are unknown. Why not cooperate to open the underground palace first. When we get below, we will rely on our own abilities. How about the two sides?"

Neither side said anything.

So he said again: "Why don't you fight first and decide the winner. I'm afraid of delaying the auspicious time and missing the only opportunity to open the underground palace."

"Good! Cooperate first, then rely on our own abilities." Xiao Jincheng expressed his position first, and Zhang Daohe also nodded slightly.

Obviously, neither side wanted to miss the auspicious time to open the underground palace. Fighting now is not beneficial to either side. It is better to cooperate first, and then act according to circumstances. ===== CHAPTER 826 =====
