Chapter 793: The True Palace Complex

Liu Zheng's shock was not without reason.

Because before he came down, he had absolutely never imagined that this Huoshan crater would look like this.

Yes.

At this moment, he was inside the Huoshan crater, and looking out, he saw that around the clusters of flames, there were actually some passageways!

In every direction, all around him, there were nothing but passageways!

And at this time, the passageways here were much more exquisite than the previous ones!

Yes.

Using the word "exquisite" to describe them was not an exaggeration at all. When Liu Zheng was coming down just now, these passageways must have already existed, but because of the light distortion, he had not discovered them.

Now he saw them.

And so he was even more shocked.

These passageways—no, using the word "passageway" to describe what Liu Zheng saw before him was already thinking too small! These were like corridors, pavilions! These were definitely manufactured and carved by human hands, magnificent and resplendent; all the carvings and murals here were even more delicate, more magnificent, more solemn, and more capable of making one feel an irrepressible urge to worship from the bottom of their heart than those grottoes they had just entered.

Shock!

Awe!

And the cold air that Liu Zheng had felt just now was blowing precisely from these corridors and pavilions.

Miraculous craftsmanship.

To have such a place appear inside a Huoshan truly made Liu Zheng exclaim that it was miraculous craftsmanship.

"My Lord!"

"Young Master!"

Liu Zheng stopped descending, and the people above pulling the ropes were all confused and started shouting. Liu Zheng tugged on the rope to let them know he was still alive.

This made many of them feel quite strange.

Further down!

Liu Zheng continued to descend.

The people above all had their expressions change drastically.

Everyone knew what the situation was like inside this Huoshan; the distance the Vice Minister Liu had descended now should be the limit for a human.

Could it be…

Did he know something?

Pei Qianyun was the first to step out and tie a rope to himself, followed by Wu Zhen…

Further down.

Only then did Liu Zheng have the chance to jump across.

Finally, he reached what he considered a safe distance.

With a sudden leap, he barely grabbed the exquisite railing and then climbed up.

Shock.

Being there in person, it was exceptionally awe-inspiring.

Whether it was the corridors, pavilions, grottoes, palaces, or railings, they were all so magnificent and so delicate. This time, these carvings and murals were no longer as cluttered as before. These fierce beasts, these totems with clearly visible lines…

"My God…"

At this time, Pei Qianyun and Wu Zhen also came down and jumped to Liu Zheng's side one after another.

Liu Zheng gave a bitter smile: "Do you recognize them?"

Wu Zhen nodded: "The Grassland people have always revered falcons, War Horses, and other fierce beasts… these totems all belong to the Qiang tribes!"

That made sense.

Although they had been guessing before they came that this was the tomb of the Qiang hero Tuolei, in reality, it was only now that it was truly confirmed. Because in the history of the Qiang tribes, only Tuolei truly had the strength to create such a massive tomb and set up so many formations inside.

"Heavens… these are all made of soft jade!"

Pei Qianyun exclaimed incessantly.

The corridors they were walking on were all made of top-quality Hetian jade, and these Hetian jades were inlaid with gold, silver, and all sorts of enviable treasures.

"This is the main palace!"

Wu Zhen said excitedly.

In fact, Liu Zheng had long had this feeling.

It was just that he hadn't expected…

That Tuolei's imagination was so vast that he had actually set this main palace inside a Huoshan!

On the corridors were naturally the entrances to various palaces, and just these gates alone made one feel quite powerless in their heart.

Yellow rosewood…

An incomparably precious wood, and it was so thick that it was enough to make a gate.

The three of them wandered around here.

Then they discovered that after wandering for a while, they still hadn't reached the end.

It was too big!

There were too many palaces!

These palaces were all arranged according to the layout of the Longyan Dynasty Imperial Palace, with things like the Yangxin Hall, the Ningshou Palace, the Taihe Hall, the Zhonghe Hall… every palace was overflowing with wealth, set off by all kinds of gold, silver, and jewels. It appeared incomparably grand…

Good heavens!

So it turned out that when they first entered, those palaces were all fake!

This was the true core!

"Pass down the order: be on guard, be on guard, no one is allowed to come down!"

Liu Zheng reacted immediately.

This concerned the Imperial Jade Seal, so there could be no carelessness.

"Yes!"

Pei Qianyun received the order.

Stand guard!

The entire army, stand guard!

Suddenly, everyone was extremely excited.

Could it be that Vice Minister Liu had really found the Imperial Jade Seal?

At this moment, over a hundred thousand people began to stand guard beside the altar; they had already wiped out many of those blood monkeys, and their remains were scattered everywhere.

The Prince of Wei, the Prince of Yong, Tuiemu City, and Xie Ming, who had just arrived there in a disheveled state, also followed down.

Several people likewise let out exclamations of surprise.

Without a doubt.

This place must be the core of Tuolei's tomb.

Who could have imagined?

His tomb was actually inside a Huoshan!

And not on top of the Stone Pillar!

This counter-intuitive approach was incredibly shocking.

"Call some trusted brothers down; anyone else who dares to come down without permission, kill them without mercy!"

The Prince of Wei gave the order immediately.

"Yes!"

If there was no mistake, the Imperial Jade Seal should be within these palaces!

Xie Ming's eyes were also flashing with a sharp glint at this moment.

This trip to the tomb had nearly cost him his life several times...

It had been difficult enough to stumble his way to rendezvous with these people.

Unexpectedly...

He had actually managed to make it to the end!

There was another chance!

However, in front of the Prince of Wei and Vice Minister Liu, he was ultimately weak and alone; even if he encountered the Imperial Jade Seal, he feared he would not be able to snatch it...

What to do?

He began to grow anxious.

Fortunately, for the safety of these people, the Prince of Wei still allowed everyone to call down dozens of guards.

With people by his side, Xie Ming naturally felt much more at ease.

"Be careful, there may be danger here too!"

Wu Zhen warned.

The group naturally knew that this tomb was full of traps. Moreover, the group of fully armed blood monkeys from earlier proved that besides these monkeys, there should be other people here!

People!

These people had not appeared yet.

"Enter here first!"

The Prince of Wei chose the Taihe Hall directly.

Everyone knew that the Taihe Hall was the center of this palace complex.

The Taihe Hall, commonly known as the Golden Throne Hall, was where the emperor held court; logically, the Imperial Jade Seal should appear here most often.

Several people walked over, trembling with fear.

The Taihe Hall was naturally the tallest and most luxurious existence among these buildings; one had to climb countless steps carved into the wall of the Huoshan to reach the Taihe Hall.

"Young Master, let me go first!"

Pei Qianyun was not afraid of these things and took the lead.

Liu Zheng nodded: "Be careful, Qianyun."

The crowd began to walk on the steps.

As soon as a foot stepped onto these steps made of jade, a gust of cold wind blew again.

Even.

In people's minds, the sound of solemn morning bells and evening drums could not help but ring out.

"Kneel!"

"Kneel and pay homage!"

Just as the people were still immersed in this atmosphere.

Suddenly, a voice full of majesty rang in their ears.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

There were people?

Who was it?

"Kneel!"

"Kneel and pay homage to our Emperor!"

"Kneel!"

Following that, these sounds rose and fell, coming from all directions, dense and numerous, with varying pitch and cadence.

They echoed across these long stone steps.

Everyone was stunned on the spot.

"Kneel, my foot!"

The King of Wei roared in anger, thinking to himself that a barbarian Qiang wanted to make him kneel?

In your dreams!

"Watch out!"

"King of Wei, watch out!"

Who would have thought, as he took a step forward, cold Crossbow Bolts went *swish, swish, swish*, shooting over once again from all sides of the steps!

The King of Wei's expression changed drastically.

These were clearly Crossbow Bolts with immense power!

Their speed and lethality were naturally incomparable to ordinary bows and arrows.

In an instant, a barrage of arrows had already shot toward the King of Wei!
