Chapter 1549: Throne Scepter

"No, the Throne Scepter and such things are very sinister; they can affect a person's mind. I haven't been to that place, and I don't know how many strange and bizarre things are there. It's better if you don't go," Chen Yu said.

"But as for General Ye'er, he still has hundreds of elites with heavy weapons. I'm worried that after you go over..."

"Heh, it's fine. Have you forgotten who I am? Those people cannot hurt me; at most, they can only cause me some trouble," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Right, I had forgotten Mr. Chen's identity," Chen Bo nodded.

"Mr. Chen, this is the full map of the island. This place here, in the northwest direction of the island, has a Mountain. The secret of the Throne Scepter is hidden here."

"Scorpion Bureau." Chen Yu saw the layout of this map at a glance: "No wonder the Scepter and such things would be here. The layout of this place was born for such things."

"Mr. Chen, be careful in everything." Even though Wang Cheng knew Chen Yu's identity, he still couldn't help but urge him.

He knew the terrifying nature of that place.

It was just that Chen Yu was different from ordinary Dharma Cultivators; he had come into contact with many creatures from the Dark World, so this little matter really could not stump him.

In front of the secret passage, General Ye'er had left dozens of subordinates and a batch of equipment, and the people had already entered the passage.

At the very beginning, everything before their eyes was no different from an ordinary cave—cold, damp, and pitch-black inside, so dark that one could not see their own fingers.

General Ye'er led his group of subordinates for over half an hour, and suddenly, the view before them opened up.

They saw an abyss appear before everyone's eyes. Opposite the abyss was a platform, and behind the platform were two heavy stone doors, with many hieroglyphs carved on them.

"Haha, this is it." Looking at the abyss before him and the two huge stone doors on the opposite side, General Ye'er could not help but laugh heartily.

"General Ye'er, this place is the path leading to the Secret Realm. It is said that this place possesses the Pharaoh's Throne Scepter," an elderly man with an Eastern face beside General Ye'er said respectfully.

"It is said that this Throne Scepter is something of a True God, left wandering in the human world. If you possess the Scepter, it is equivalent to possessing everything; you can do whatever you want."

"Qishu, your ancestral home is Huaxia, which is the hometown of Grave Robbers. Thank you for being able to bring me here. If it weren't for you using the Feng Shui Method, we really wouldn't have been able to find this place."

General Ye'er was in a very good mood: "That guy Wang Cheng's mouth is truly hard, but unfortunately, even if he is hard, so what? Haven't I found this place anyway?"

"Our ancestral Dragon Seeking and Point Fixing Method is applicable to most ancient ruins and buildings in this world." The old man named Qishu smiled slightly: "And being able to work for General Ye'er is truly my honor."

"No, no, meeting you is my honor. If it weren't for you, I might never have found this place." General Ye'er was in an excellent mood, and he laughed heartily: "Since we have all found this place, let's go over."

General Ye'er and his men were connected to the opposite bank by only one iron chain bridge, and below the iron chain bridge was an endless abyss.

Because of the long passage of time, the iron chains on the bridge appeared rusted and mottled. When people walked on it, it made creaking sounds and swayed precariously, making people look on in fear.

"Wait a moment, General Ye'er. Let me see if there is any situation here." Qishu walked forward and took out a Compass.

He paced back and forth, holding the Compass in his hand, carefully observing the surrounding directions.

After looking carefully for a while, Qishu nodded slightly and said: "Alright, there are no traps in this place; we can go over."

"Move out." General Ye'er waved his hand, and more than ten members of the advance force immediately stepped onto the bridge, and he followed right after.

They crossed the bridge with no danger, but there were more than ten people bringing up the rear. When they walked to the middle of the bridge, suddenly, with a 'Crack!', the bridge suddenly began to sway precariously.

"What's going on? What happened?" The group of people on the bridge became panicked.

"Not good, hurry over!" Qishu was startled and shouted at the people on the bridge.

But it was too late. With a 'Crack!', the other end of the iron chain snapped, and the dozen or so people on the bridge screamed as they fell into the abyss.

It was unknown how deep the abyss was; after the dozen or so of his personal guards fell, they quickly disappeared without a trace, and for a long time, no dull sound of them hitting the ground could be heard.

General Ye'er's expression was very ugly. They had only just entered the cave entrance, but before they had achieved anything, this had happened. The schedule ahead would definitely be very difficult.

He had come to such ruins to hunt for treasure more than once, but this time, it seemed different from the past.

Because just arriving at this place, he had already lost so many people; it would definitely be even more difficult in the future.

And the iron chain bridge was broken, so how would they go back? The distance to the opposite bank was at least ten meters.

"General Ye'er, this place is a place that has been under a Curse, so... people will definitely die. You must be mentally prepared," Qishu said.

"People dying, that doesn't matter, but the key point now is, how do we go back?" General Ye'er said with an ugly expression.

"Mr. Ye'er doesn't need to worry about this problem. For this kind of cave dwelling, there is always an exit for every entrance. It is the same for the mausoleums or Secret Realms of any country in the world."

Qishu said confidently: "Because this is the Heavenly Dao, which no one can change. Once we find the item, there will naturally be other exits."

"Really?" General Ye'er's expression finally looked a little better.

"It is true. I couldn't possibly risk my own old life to play such a joke on you, General, could I?" Qishu smiled.

"That's true. Alright then, let's continue forward." General Ye'er's brows relaxed; he nodded and continued to walk forward.

Upon reaching this side, they realized just how large these two doors were.

The heavy stone doors were over ten meters high, and they were carved with the sun, moon, and stars, as well as many hieroglyphs that could not be understood.

Qishu held a flashlight, shining it on the characters above, and muttered: "The Great Dao leads to the same destination by different paths. Even if the religions are different, the beginning of faith is the sun, moon, stars, heaven, and earth."

"Because these things are the foundation of the creation of heaven and earth, even the Pharaohs were no exception. The things they believed in were likewise these things."

"How should this door be opened?" General Ye'er said: "Hurry up, I can't wait to see what is behind it."

"Let me see." Qishu recovered from his complex emotions; he held the high-intensity flashlight and shone it on the characters on the stone door, studying them carefully one by one.
