318. Chapter 318: The Strange Door

Among the Spirit Beasts of the Western Wasteland, bloodline is supreme.

"We can release the news in advance that the reason Lanbo is in this state is because of us. In this way, when the Spirit Beasts see hope, they will naturally be willing to come."

Su Chen did not wait for the others to react and continued speaking.

As his voice fell, the others looked at each other, suddenly realizing that what Su Chen said made sense.

It is indeed difficult to convince others based on mere rumors, but the fact that Lanbo is injured is solid; having direct evidence placed before them will greatly boost their confidence.

Thinking of this, the Great Elder could not help but nod repeatedly, looking at Su Chen with praise as he said: "Our thinking was narrow. As expected of the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon, your mind is so meticulous."

"Then shall we release the news now and find a way to assemble all the Spirit Beasts?"

Ao Meng was a man of action; he acted as soon as he thought of it. At the thought that he had feared Lanbo for so many years and could finally take revenge, his mood was extremely excited.

"We only know Lanbo's general location; will we alert the enemy?"

Ao Fang could not help but ask. After all, with such a massive mobilization, if Lanbo were to run away, the loss would outweigh the gain.

"I can help."

Yi Zhuyue spoke up at this moment, "I can sense the aura on Lanbo. During our previous fight, my sword Qi remained on him and cannot dissipate in a short time."

Hearing this, everyone could not help but feel a surge of joy; this would save them a lot of time in finding Lanbo.

There was no time to lose, so they acted immediately. The several Great Elders divided the work and went to announce the news about Su Chen and Xiaoxian to the world.

During this period, Su Chen did not remain idle either, intending to make a trip to the Ancient Castle.

The location of the Ancient Castle was actually easy to find, as Lanbo had previously felt invincible and had made a grand display of it.

Now that the Ancient Castle lacked its master, it appeared exceptionally desolate, but that was not a major issue.

To avoid any mistakes, Su Chen only took Natasha and Yi Zhuyue with him.

As the future ruler of the Dragon Race, Xiaoxian naturally needed to learn how to handle matters, but she was still young and very inexperienced, so Luo Shen and Lv Luo were left by her side to assist.

The group walked for several hours before arriving at the gloomy Ancient Castle. Just as they reached the entrance, they felt an icy chill.

"We must be careful."

Su Chen could not help but urge them.

Although Lanbo was not here at the moment, it was his old lair, and he did not believe there were no traps or schemes.

"I remember he kept many Blood Slaves in the castle; we can take this opportunity to rescue them."

Natasha said softly; after all, those Blood Slaves were innocent.

Su Chen nodded. His purpose in coming here was not only to look for useful clues, but another major goal was to release those forced Blood Slaves.

They were originally Spirit Beasts, but they had been forced to become Blood Slaves under Lanbo's threats.

If possible, Su Chen wanted to restore their freedom.

Unexpectedly, the interior of the castle was extremely empty, with only a giant bat stationed there.

That giant bat was, strictly speaking, an old acquaintance; it was he who had spread the news earlier.

"How could you..."

The giant bat looked at Su Chen in horror, instinctively wanting to run.

But ever since Su Chen had performed Dual Cultivation with Xiaoxian, his cultivation had reached the Great Saint Realm Fifth Layer, and coupled with the special tempering of the Dragon, he was no longer the person he once was.

The giant bat appeared to have profound cultivation on the surface, but in reality, it was just a facade; it had the cultivation but did not know how to use it, and like its master, it relied on absorbing essence and blood.

Su Chen did not waste words with him, directly using the Blue Quenching Spirit Fire, and in the blink of an eye, he burned the giant bat to ashes.

That giant bat did not even have time to struggle before it completely vanished from the world in an instant.

The group split up to search and soon found a dungeon, which had a unique seal on it.

"Can you unlock it?" Su Chen tried, but did not succeed.

Even when using Spirit Fire to burn it, the seal remained undamaged.

Helpless, she could only turn her gaze toward Yi Zhuyue.

"This seal can only be opened by specific people; we can only rely on brute force to destroy it before we can enter."

Yi Zhuyue observed for a long time and sighed helplessly.

"My attacks have no effect on it."

Su Chen said helplessly.

"With the combined strength of the three of us, if we attack this weakest point together, we might be able to break it."

Yi Zhuyue pointed in a direction and said slowly.

There was no other way for now, so without further delay, the three of them began their action.

The sound of the barrier shattering echoed in the air, followed by the restriction in front of them turning into dust bit by bit, revealing a long and deep secret passage.

The group looked at each other, and Su Chen took the lead and walked down.

They had assumed this was the place where the Blood Slaves were held, but unexpectedly, after walking in, it was an extremely ordinary dark room.

However, the Spiritual Power fluctuations inside were extraordinary. Su Chen walked to the door, and the moment he touched the door handle, he was instantly repelled.

The massive Spiritual Power fluctuation was much stronger than even that on Lanbo.

Natasha hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Chen.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Natasha said hurriedly, very worried.

"I'm fine."

Su Chen continued, "The thing inside this door is strange."

"That's right, I felt a very familiar aura."

Yi Zhuyue nodded solemnly.

"When the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor sent us down, he actually gave each of us a cultivation treasure; mine was the Jade Letter, which should be in your hands now, as for Lanbo's..."

Yi Zhuyue did not finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear; the item inside was most likely the treasure the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor gave to Lanbo.

"Do you have any impression of that thing?"

Su Chen could not help but ask.

No wonder he hadn't seen anything when he previously handed the item to Luo Shen to examine, but it was clearly also the handiwork of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

It was just that he did not know what the true function of that Jade Letter was.

Thinking this in his heart, he naturally asked it out loud.

"Actually, I am not very clear about it either. I can sense that the Jade Letter is extraordinary, but I do not know how to use it, and the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor did not say."

Yi Zhuyue shook her head honestly.

Although she was one of the four envoys sent down by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, she was not a core figure, so there were many things she did not know.

Hearing this, Su Chen was not discouraged.

Natasha suddenly said: "It seems that a power is sealed inside, but I do not know what it is. The pattern on this door seems to suggest that one can only enter by holding a specific item."

Natasha pointed at the totem on the door and speculated. (End of chapter)
