Chapter 768: Chapter 406 Scholar City’s Shadow_1

Due to the cover of the sandstorm, Ivita and his group were not spotted by the Elephant Divine Weapon. Instead, they walked straight past them.

Hearthstone Witch asked Ivita, "Should I follow and observe them?"

Ivita shook his head and replied, "The bug race from the Chaos Abyss has allied with them. These bugs from the Chaos Abyss are too sensitive to spiritual energy. If you stealthily pursue them, they’ll definitely detect you."

"Let them reach the Iron Crown mountain range."

"If the mere alliance with the bug race from the Chaos Abyss is enough to seize the Iron Crown, then the consciousness within the Iron Crown wouldn’t be this anxious."

Hearthstone Witch nodded, saying: "That’s true. Those who take the initiative aren’t necessarily the victors, but rather, are likely to play stepping stones for those who follow."

After Ivita transformed into a falcon, he dove into the underground river space and used his second body to issue commands to the cultists, ordering them to stay inside the cave.

Ivita summoned the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect, the four-person squad of Knight Robinson, and the Hearthstone Witch for a strategy meeting atop a boulder.

Ivita told everyone, "Our most urgent task now is to know the enemy’s origin, rather than blindly attacking the Iron Crown mountain range with our nation’s forces, like the other potential successors. There aren’t many humans left in this country."

"If only we knew what the enemy is."

As soon as the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect heard these words, he immediately responded, "I think I know... what they are."

"I’ve heard that in history, there existed a being called the King of the Ancient Tomb who discovered the secret to breaking free from the Iron Crown and found a way out of the cycle of life and death."

Ivita furrowed his brows, asking, "Then do you know how the King of the Ancient Tomb escaped the Iron Crown?"

The Sun God Sect Hierarch shook his head.

Hearthstone Witch and the others were all disappointed.

They had initially assumed that the witch would know.

Ivita pondered for a while. "You may not know, but among us, there is someone who might. The Knowledge Demon King inside the Iron Maiden!"

Ivita then immediately approached the Iron Maiden located at the corner of the cave and asked, "Do you know anything about the King of the Ancient Tomb?"

The corpse inside the Iron Maiden replied, "Of course I don’t know now, but I will in the future. I’m imprisoned here, deprived of all sources of knowledge. If you can pierce my eyes with a blade of grass, I will be able to reconnect with the world’s knowledge and help you."

Ivita considered this for a moment and decided it wasn’t a big problem. He pierced the straw into its eyeballs.

Immediately thereafter, the corpse within the Iron Maiden began twitching as if convulsing, releasing screams that were so unbearable that they couldn’t be described as anything but inhumane.

And it kept repeating: "King of the Ancient Tomb..."

"The World of the Dead..."

"There are other Laws involved..."

Ivita exchanged glances with the Hearthstone Witch and Knight Robinson upon hearing this. Thankfully they had the Knowledge Demon King amongst them. Prior to this, they only thought of the King of the Ancient Tomb having escaped reincarnation and hadn’t considered that other Laws could be involved.

Upon careful thought, it made sense. Only a few things can oppose the Laws, and Laws can counter Laws.

Ivita felt the Foxtail Grass in his hand become fiercely hot.

Soon after, the Foxtail Grass suddenly burst into flames.

To that, the corpse within the Iron Maiden suddenly yelled, "Undead!"

The burnt Foxtail Grass fell to the ground turning into ashes.

Ivita wrinkled his eyebrows, asking the Knowledge Demon King, "Do you know the origin of the King of the Ancient Tomb now?"

After a long silence, the Knowledge Demon King within the Iron Maiden finally spoke as everyone was becoming impatient, "I know. But the implications are too widespread. I can’t tell. If you can find a living body for me to inhabit, I’d dare to speak."

Ivita retorted, "I’ll protect you, isn’t that enough!"

There was no more sound coming from within the Iron Maiden.

It seems that it was truly terrified to such an extent that it dared not speak.

Hearthstone Witch ranted and raved, "What’s the use of such a timid demon? It’s better to toss it into the desert."

As she spoke, she locked eyes with Ivita, picked up the Iron Maiden and was ready to throw it into the desert.

There was still no reaction from the mummified corpse within the Iron Maiden.

Hearthstone Witch addressed the Iron Maiden, "It’s too easy to just get rid of you. Who do you think we are? I will seal you again, trapping you in this torture device forever, never able to escape."

"Ahahaha... Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"You’re so unlucky, hahaha..."

Finally, the mummified corpse within the Iron Maiden spoke up, for it sensed that Hearthstone Witch was truly capable of dumping it in the middle of the desert, forever trapped in the desert.

The Knowledge Demon King said, "Wait, Ivita. Alright, since it’s come to this, I’ll speak, I’ll speak."

"Where did this vile witch come from? If I’m dumped in the desert, it will be at least a hundred years before I encounter another person!"

"I discovered from the River of Knowledge that traces of the Winter Law from the Land of Winter were left on the King of the Ancient Tomb. The Winter Law of the Land of Winter possesses a part of death."

"It is the largest undead kingdom in this world—the Winter Kingdom."

"There is only death and winter snow there. But I found traces of the Winter Law from the River of Knowledge. The followers of the Winter Law once brought disaster and terror to the Magic Black Forest."
