Chapter 154: Chapter 118: Nine-tier Platform, Ice Coffin

Even though she guessed the other party’s intentions, Sui Yi felt the most helpless because she had no choice.

To die here, or to enter the real underground palace and die there, she would rather choose the latter.

Because the latter at least let them see the true appearance of the underground palace, it would be a kind of closure in death.

Of course, she also felt that the time difference in between might change everything.

She had never been one to believe in fate.

Thus, she opened the door and watched as a group of people swarmed inside. Finally, as Gong Jiu grabbed her and they entered, she gave the Ghostface Man a deep look.

King against king, huh?

It was time!

----------

At the entrance, Leng She and others surprisingly cooperated with Brother Ma’s group!

Together, they fought against those monsters.

This small door spread killings; Sui Yi was one of the earlier ones to go in because Gong Jiu was very quick. As soon as he reached her side, he carried her into the underground palace, leaving Brother Ma and his men frantically attacking those monsters.

"Quick, block the door!" Brother Ma was quick and planned to seal the door, yet...

"Fuck! Why isn’t there a door lock!"

This design is so illogical!!!

Brother Ma’s face turned green. He had no choice but to let Ah Hai and other tall people forcefully hold the door, while shouting, "Push hard, yes, push harder!"

Leaning against the wall, Sui Yi and others were speechless.

Is this some kind of forced labor?

But...

"My God," Flower Demon exclaimed in amazement.

Sui Yi turned her head at the sound.

They were now standing on a platform in front of a corridor. Looking forward, there was a vast open space.

Underground Palace,this was a massive underground palace. Judging by the size, it seemed like the combined area of nine palaces above.

In this underground palace, all six sides were smooth and even stone walls; the four walls were reliefs on massive walls, so extensive and wide that it was hard to estimate, with thousands of Sect patterns intricately carved on the reliefs alone.

Directly across from everyone, far away, that wall seemed to be carved with many people; it was difficult to see clearly, although the ones on the left and right were a bit clearer. On the left, there was a grand ancient battlefield with thousands of troops dashing on the ground and also people sprinting across the land or hovering in the sky...

On the right, thousands of giant beasts roared, both in the sky and on the ground, with chaotic evil spirits.

Just these two walls were enough to take away everyone’s breath, not to mention the closest wall, their rear one.

Turning around, the people saw the stone wall behind them.

On such a large wall, a glorious court was carved.

On both sides, many figures lined up in formation - numerous and numerous, all in fine robes, including palace maids, ministers, military generals, and consorts...

However, what made Gong Jiu and others feel extremely uneasy was... on the wall’s relief, those people, all lacked heads!

"Headless?"

"All headless! God, what does this mean? Was it those headless people we encountered earlier..."

The headless people on the wall, the headless people encountered in the corridor...

This omen was far too ominous!

It was filled with a chilling scent of death.

"No, there’s one person who has a head," the Flower Demon pointed to a spot.

It was a man.

He stood quietly in the center inside the wall, in splendid attire, with his hands behind his back, walking along that corridor, dragging the hem of his robe on the ground. Although carved from stone, it emitted an overwhelmingly heart-throbbing presence.

In fact, he was a very handsome man, exceptionally noble, with a stern expression, yet seeming to always gaze into the distance.

People followed the direction he was looking towards, right at the central area which initially attracted everyone’s attention.

A vast area, not like the nine courts above, this place only had a barren and flat stone surface.

The surface was so flat, it resembled a mirror.

"This isn’t ordinary stone..."

Gong Jiu looked down at the seamless stone surface, perfectly assembled, almost invisible in its seams, in pure jade color.

Could it be jade?

Impossible, right? How terrifying would it be if such a large area was made of jade?

The expressions of everyone present were horror-stricken.

Because the value of this place far exceeded their estimates, even, they thought it was a miracle.

Perhaps, only a miracle could be like this.

This made Gong Jiu and others also rein in most of their pillaging thoughts.

After all, whether it was the Black-clad Dharma King or the green monsters, they all told them... this was definitely not anything historically recorded or explainable.

Sui Yi kept looking at one place.

In the center, a giant platform stood a hundred meters high, the base approximately five hundred meters square, with nine stacked layers, forming nine tiers like a pyramid, and atop the ninth tier, lay a coffin emitting a sinister cold air.

Due to the distance, it was hard to see clearly.

The group was speculative.

"Is that an ice coffin?"

"That can’t be, the temperature here isn’t low; if it was an ice coffin, it would have melted long ago, it’s not like the Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice in martial arts novels..."

"Are you talking about the one Little Dragon Girl sleeps in?"

At this moment, although the group was stunned, they were even more eager to explore. This place might be empty, but surely the ice coffin hid many treasures.

Leng She, Lin Feng, and Kadis, several individuals with excellent skills, had already dashed forward, Flower Demon and Shen Di among others did not want to lag behind.

Gong Jiu’s gaze followed their movements, yet he ultimately did not move.

Sui Yi saw her turn her head around, paused, then softly chuckled; "Go ahead."

Gong Jiu silently watched her, his eyes deep, then suddenly bent down, tore off the bandage wrapped around a previous wound, and fortunately, because Sui Yi’s waist was slender, at this moment she quickly wrapped the cloth strip around Sui Yi’s waist twice.

Close to Sui Yi, his breathing could be heard.

Gong Jiu’s voice sounded somewhat despondent.

"Before coming here, until now, I have never told you my true purpose in coming here"

"So, you’re going to tell me now?"

Because of his serious injury, Sui Yi’s voice was weak and softly melodious.

"No, I won’t tell you"

Gong Jiu shook her head.

"....."

Having bandaged up, Gong Jiu stood up and looked down at the bent-over Sui Yi, "This matter is a mission of the Palace Family that I must complete... Of course, if both of us can make it out alive, I will tell you..."

Having said that, she stepped forward, embraced Sui Yi, then resolutely let go and turned to leave.

Their figures moved rapidly, with Zhang Wei fiercely following behind, and the two rushed towards the high platform.

Sui Yi’s gaze was shallow as he clutched his abdomen where the blood had already mostly stopped flowing, but his body was in pain everywhere...

In her left hand, she clenched a map, concealing it at her waist side.

Gong Jiu had just given her the map.

What did it mean?

Her last thoughts? Did she think she could escape?

Huh...

Releasing a light breath, Sui Yi slowly activated the Magnetic Sensation...

But before Gong Jiu and others could reach the high platform, Brother Ma had already cried out in agony.

"Damn! Can’t hold them back anymore!"

Bang!!

The door was shattered open, and Ah Hai and others were directly blown away!

Whoosh, at the door, a large group of "people" rushed inside, along with eight monsters.

Seeing these ugly creatures lying on such sanctified and splendid ground, in such a glorious space, Brother Ma and the others felt it was an unbearable sight.

Meanwhile, Sui Yi leaned against the wall, silently concealing his presence.

At this moment, Brother Ma and the others were astonished, because these monsters and "people" had not moved.

Very strange.

Immediately, Brother Ma shouted toward Gong Jiu, "Quick!! Miss, these monsters are all damn stupefied now! Push harder!"

He had just finished shouting when those "people" behind them roared forth...

Sui Yi: "...."

Wasn’t it said that these monsters react to sound waves?

Brother Ma, there really is no need for you to be so loud!

Startled, Brother Ma jumped and hurriedly blocked in front of these monsters.

Whether it was him or Leng She, Lin Feng and the others, they were all engaged in trying to hold them back.

Blood soon flowed across this expanse of white jade glass ground.

At that moment, Gong Jiu and others rushed towards the high platform, to the very top of it!

Whoosh!

Lin Feng was the first to reach the eight tier of the platform, only two meters away from the Ice Jade Coffin. He spread his arms, his eyes filled with crazed ambition.

The artifact, boundless power, was his...

Bang!

A gunshot rang out!

Zhang Wei’s bullet shot over, and Lin Feng dodged to the side. Meanwhile, Leng She drew his long sword, and with a spring in his step, leaped into the air towards Zhang Wei!

Whoosh!

The air was sliced with a sharp wind sound.

Gong Jiu took the opportunity to strike towards Lin Feng!

"Ha, you really think I’m not your match?" Lin Feng sneered, and sent a Snapping Kick towards Gong Jiu, his leg cutting through the air like a knife!

Elsewhere, Flower Demon and others were also blocked by Kadis and his people.

Above on the high platform, a fierce battle erupted in a blink.

Below, Ah Guna and other tribal people were intensely murderous, some raising their bows, indiscriminately shooting!

"Fuck! Why are you attacking Ninth Miss!" Feng Sha and others were furious!

"Anyone who acts against the revered Jade Pavilion, kill without mercy!" Ah Guna readied another arrow, aiming at a person’s head!

Whoosh!

The arrow sped forth!

The arrow whizzed past Gong Jiu’s head... Beside her... Clang!

Leng She’s hand trembled violently with his sword, the blade tip twisting and rebounding...

Undoubtedly, between Gong Jiu and Leng She, the first Ah Guna wanted to kill was naturally Leng She!

"Ignorant people, instead of attacking us, why don’t you deal with those monsters below?"

Lin Feng felt that Ah Guna and these people posed a great threat, especially when they were almost out of ammunition. The combat power of these tribal people was undoubtedly the strongest!

The arrows could still be recycled for use!

"Them? Naturally, someone will handle them," Ah Guna nocked a second arrow, aiming at Lin Feng’s head...

Lin Feng was shocked, and quickly sprinted across the platform to the other side.

There, arrows couldn’t reach!

Meanwhile, taking advantage of this, Gong Jiu had resolutely climbed up to the ninth tier of the steps, arriving in front of the giant white jade pavilion, her hands placed on the coffin lid.

Jade Pavilion, the goal she had always strived for, was she finally going to achieve it now? (To be continued.
