Chapter 946: Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array (First update, requesting everything)

Not long after, the Hu Kingdom Emperor led Li Zhangsheng into a relatively simple and ancient palace deep within the Imperial Palace.

Judging from the design of the palace, it likely had a history of several hundred years.

After entering the simple and ancient palace, the Hu Kingdom Emperor used a dragon-shaped token to activate a mechanism, and a staircase-style passage appeared, winding downwards for a full several hundred meters in length.

At the end of the passage was a large door made of an unknown metal, covered in dense Restrictions, as well as a powerful Forbidden Array, and they seemed to be a matching set.

Even for a King, it was feared that they would be unable to break these Restrictions and Forbidden Arrays in a short time.

"His Majesty, this is the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array."

Seeing that Li Zhangsheng was somewhat interested, the Hu Kingdom Emperor could not help but explain.

Of course, he did not analyze the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array in depth.

In the memories of the first Principal, there actually existed some information regarding this Forbidden Array.

This was a special type of Forbidden Array that combined illusion, defense, and offense; to break this Forbidden Array, one must simultaneously break the nine Restrictions that composed it, which was also the reason it was called the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array.

If there were suitable treasures to suppress the array eye, and High-tier Demon Cores were invested without regard for loss, the power of the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array could be further enhanced.

Unfortunately, the first Principal's memories only contained basic information on the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array, and no information on how to set it up.

Li Zhangsheng did not feel it was a pity, because in the Treasure King's memories, there existed several Forbidden Arrays no worse than the Nine Sons Interlocking one, and some were even stronger.

In addition to the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng also discovered the Bloodline Divine Prohibition.

To open the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array, not only was a token required, but a direct bloodline was also necessary, otherwise, it would trigger unpredictable consequences.

At this moment, the Hu Kingdom Emperor pricked his finger and pressed it onto the location of the Bloodline Divine Prohibition on the metal door.

Besides this, the Hu Kingdom Emperor also took out a jade-green Jade Seal.

This Jade Seal was also a rather extraordinary Strange Treasure; judging from the feedback of Mental Power, it had already reached the Top-tier Heaven and Earth Wonder grade, and it only needed one more step to become a World Wonder.

The Jade Seal spun around and released a ribbon of light, which landed on the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array.

Under the dual combination, the Nine Sons Interlocking Restriction and the Bloodline Divine Prohibition faded away one after another, and the metal door began to slowly open, revealing the scene inside.

This was a small secret room, containing only a table with a box placed on it.

If there were no surprises, the box should contain the Fire Rule Crystal.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng never let down his guard; after all, the Nine Sons Interlocking Forbidden Array existed here, and if there were any hidden trump cards, there was truly a possibility of capsizing.

Even if such a probability was extremely slim, Li Zhangsheng still upheld his cautious way of conducting himself.

After entering the secret room, the Hu Kingdom Emperor carefully opened the box on the table, revealing a crystal-clear crystal that hovered slightly above the box.

This crystal contained a special power, as if it were the center of the world, causing Li Zhangsheng's gaze to involuntarily focus on the crystal.

This was a hexagonal crystal filled with fire-red clouds, looking quite similar to a Profound Meaning Crystal, but the nature of the power it contained was more than one grade higher.

This power was the so-called Fire Rule, a power that surpassed the origin of Mystery; only by mastering the Rule could one achieve an Emperor Rank Demon Pet.

Li Zhangsheng checked it and, after discovering that there were no impurities in the crystal, confirmed that this was indeed a Fire Rule Crystal, not an inferior product.

Although an inferior Rule Crystal could also assist a Demon Pet in comprehending the Rule, the effect would undoubtedly be greatly reduced, not to mention its value.

The Hu Kingdom Emperor could not help but be filled with reluctance; after all, this was the most precious treasure his ancestors had obtained, and because the Imperial Family had never produced a Double-Character King, it had remained idle here, prepared for future use.

It was just unclear who had leaked the news, allowing the Dark Night King to learn of the existence of the Rule Crystal, thereby triggering a series of evil consequences.

In order to continue the Imperial Family and protect the interests of the Imperial Family, the Hu Kingdom Emperor and the Butterfly King had no choice but to give this national treasure, which had been kept for hundreds of years, to Li Zhangsheng.

"His Majesty, it is yours now!"

No matter how reluctant he felt, the Hu Kingdom Emperor finally had to hand the Fire Rule Crystal to Li Zhangsheng.

"I will keep my promise!"

Li Zhangsheng solemnly took the Fire Rule Crystal; since he had received the reward, he would naturally keep his promise, otherwise, if he lost credibility with others, it would severely damage his reputation.

As for this Fire Rule Crystal, Li Zhangsheng had long since selected a 'master' for it.

From the moment the Hu Kingdom Emperor publicly announced that he would give the Fire Rule Crystal to Li Zhangsheng, this Fire Rule Crystal became a hot potato; Li Zhangsheng naturally did not intend to keep it in his hands, after all, he had only just achieved the rank of King, and he was still a long way from being a Double-Character King.

If he kept this Fire Rule Crystal, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many Stronger individuals, subsequently triggering many disputes, which would seriously threaten his life safety.

Rather than this, it would be better to exchange this Fire Rule Crystal with a Double-Character King who needed it, in order to trade for some treasures that could improve his strength, which best served his interests.

As for the candidate, who else could it be but the Qingmu King?

Li Zhangsheng only knew two Double-Character Kings, one was the Dark Night King, and the other was the Qingmu King; the former was a mortal enemy, so it seemed he only had the Qingmu King as an option.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng had also considered using the Fire Rule Crystal to befriend a Commander of the Human Emperor Mansion with a higher status than the Qingmu King after joining the Human Emperor Mansion.

However, this thought was just a thought; he was not that stupid. After all, he was introduced to the Human Emperor Mansion by the Qingmu King; if he joined the Human Emperor Mansion, he would definitely be in the Qingmu King's faction. Doing this would have a high possibility of accidents, and he would also end up being caught in the middle.

It could be said that the Qingmu King was his best trading candidate at present.

After leaving the simple and ancient palace, the Hu Kingdom Emperor asked: "His Majesty, when do you plan to rendezvous with the Butterfly King? So that I may report to the Butterfly King."

"There is no time to lose, I intend to set off now!"

Li Zhangsheng knew very well that the longer the Fire Rule Crystal stayed by his side, the more Stronger individuals who got the news would have designs on it, so he had to join the Human Emperor Mansion as soon as possible.

As for why he did not trade with the Qingmu King before joining the Human Emperor Mansion, firstly it was for the sake of safety, and secondly, he could exchange it for greater benefits.

"By the way, what about the Demon Disaster within your Hu Kingdom?"

"The Hu Kingdom is currently in the midst of internal and external troubles, and there is a severe shortage of Stronger personnel, so it can only be quelled slowly; it is just that the common people are suffering."

The Hu Kingdom Emperor revealed an expression of compassion, though it was unknown whether he truly cared for the people or was just putting on an act like most emperors.
