Chapter 2266: Chapter 2266: How Can This Be?

Could it be that what they destroyed before was not the real Phoenix Vein? Is there a genuine Phoenix Vein within this imperial tomb?

"I understand now."

The next moment, her bewildered eyes suddenly became clear.

The so-called Phoenix Vein isn’t just the superficial trace of aura; it also includes something deeper and more profound, buried in the soil.

This underground palace should be beneath the previous one, and thus it also possesses the aura of the Phoenix Vein. If Emperor Ziyan is willing to spare no expense and resources to dig further, he would definitely be able to unearth the aura of the Phoenix Vein.

Naturally, there is also the possibility of creating poison zombies again.

"But can this Phoenix Vein be completely destroyed?"

She asked.

"Destroy as much as we can." Sui Zimo said.

First, destroy as much of this Phoenix Vein as possible, then deal with Emperor Ziyan.

"There must be certain things in Emperor Ziyan’s possession that also need to be destroyed."

The spawn of dark arts and poison zombies, all these things, couldn’t possibly be concocted by Emperor Ziyan alone.

There must be some form of ancient dark arts that remains.

They need to seek out this ancient dark art and destroy it; that’s the most crucial.

"Right."

Lin Caisang nodded.

Emperor Ziyan is indeed the most troublesome existence.

"Let’s get out of here first; the smell here is a bit revolting." Seeing Zhe Jue and the others, she remarked.

All these poison zombies must be killed and eradicated.

Of course, with the former empress around, killing these poison zombies is a matter of moments.

And she didn’t want to stay in a place full of poison zombies. Her whole body felt uncomfortable, especially thinking about how Emperor Ziyan used living people to create poison zombies.

"Okay."

Sui Zimo immediately scooped her up in his arms, and the two of them left the underground palace.

This task was directly left to Zhe Jue and his group to complete, along with the former empress.

...

’Boom, boom boom—’

The continuous booming noises rose above the imperial tomb.

"What’s going... Ah!"

Hearing the noise, the commander walked out of the palace, questioning the Feather Forest Guards outside, when he felt the ground shake beneath his feet.

He reacted instantly, propelling himself skyward and summoning his flying mount.

Almost at the same instant, the entire mountain range sank. Looking down from the high altitude, he could only see a cloud of dust, and nothing else.

"How... how can this be? How can this happen?"

The commander simply couldn’t believe it; there had been no sign, everything seemed fine...

Sitting atop his mount, his thoughts stumbled for a moment before he recalled the previous sensation of shaking — could it be that someone had already broken into the underground palace at that time?

But, the Feather Forest Guards he had dispatched had all reported no sight of outsiders. Could they be lying?

Impossible.

After everything that had happened before, how could the Feather Forest Guards possibly lie?

Unless, those intruders had used some subterfuge to deceive his Feather Forest Guards, making them completely unaware that someone had already infiltrated the underground palace.

"Damn it, damn it, I will not let you get away with this."

He ground his teeth and cursed at the air.

But now was not the time for anger, but to rally the Feather Forest Guards and the Tomb Guards and encircle the imperial tomb completely, ensuring those intruders couldn’t escape.

Thinking this, he let his flying mount descend slightly, searching for survivors amid the dust.

...

Meanwhile, Sui Zimo, escorting his wife, had already reached the edge of the imperial tomb.
