Star Trace Gate

The black gas surged like a surging wave, quickly engulfing the mountains and forests along the way and spreading rapidly in all directions.

Ren Ye and the others were frightened by this sudden strange phenomenon, and were about to flee for their lives, but unexpectedly, the Human Emperor Seal flew out by itself, supporting a piece of rosy glow that just covered all five of them.

"Crash!"

The black wave of air attacked in an instant, but when it reached the crowd, it bypassed the "Sunlight Land" on its own, just passed by the two sides, and continued to spread slowly.

In the endless darkness, there is only a ray of rosy light shining, looking peaceful and lonely.

After everyone was stunned for a few seconds, Lao Liu finally let out the foul air that had been stuck in his chest: "Damn it, I was really scared. Fortunately, Brother Yin is here, otherwise, this black air looks poisonous, and we would probably all become cyborgs with eight little dicks."

Ren ignored him and just controlled the Human Emperor Seal, trying to move forward.

It slowly passed through the air, and wherever it passed, the endless black air actually avoided it on its own. The two sides did not confront each other, nor did they have any contact.

"Sure, let's go!"

Ren also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and called on everyone to move forward.

The five people were walking in a land of eternal night. They could only rely on the glow emitted by the Human Emperor Seal and grope forward by feeling.

This depressing atmosphere made everyone feel suffocated and uneasy.

But compared with the pursuers behind them, their situation was much better, because when the black gas swept through the dense forest, many low-level practitioners of magical powers were instantly killed and turned into mummies, falling into the darkness.

The situation of those third-rank masters was not good either. They were all trying their best to circulate the star power and use various trump cards to fight against the endless black energy and prevent it from contaminating them. However, doing so would undoubtedly consume a huge amount of energy, and many people died from exhaustion.

……

The Human Emperor Seal shone with rosy light, protecting everyone as they slowly moved forward.

On the way, Xu Bangzi transmitted a puzzled voice: "This Bu Lao Mountain was fine just now, how come it suddenly emits such a monstrous black gas?! This strange phenomenon... is really unheard of."

"The black air and vibration just now originated from the deepest part of the Bulao Mountain." Erleng suddenly interrupted, "There is a rumor in Southern Xinjiang that when you go to Bulao Mountain, you will first meet the twenty-four heavenly kings, and then you can see the altar of the witch god on the Bulao Peak. It is said that this is where the witch god sits and passes away, and outside there are twenty-four heavenly kings, each guarding a corner. If the rumor is true, then just now... something must have touched something that shouldn't have touched in the Bulao Peak, which caused the strange phenomenon."

"Who the hell is so stubborn? What are you doing at Bu Lao Peak?!" Old Liu cursed, "Are you taking this opportunity to do something bad?"

As soon as these words came out, Ren Ye immediately looked at him and whispered softly: "Doing bad things...!"

While he was thinking, his beloved concubine suddenly said, "There is a dead tree here."

Ren Ye looked up when he heard this, and saw a shriveled and withered old tree growing about seven or eight meters ahead. He looked at it carefully and immediately recognized it: "We have arrived at the Dragon Lord's Tomb. This is the Wuxiang Tree."

In the secret realm, the formless tree grew extremely luxuriantly; but in this "reality", for some unknown reason, it had lost its vitality and did not bear a single fruit.

"Hey, look!"

At this moment, Xu Bangzi suddenly pointed at the large grave next to the Wuxiang tree and shouted, "There...there is actually a door there - it's open."

Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked in the direction of Xu Bangzi's finger, only to see a swaying glow that just illuminated a corner of the tomb.

In the endless darkness, a stone door that sealed a tomb in the northeast corner of a large tomb mound opened by itself.

Ren Ye's pupils shrank sharply: "How could the door open by itself?"

"You want five of us to enter the tomb? This... this is a bit unlucky." Xu Bangzi frowned and said, "Let's go."

At this moment, Lao Liu suddenly got inspired and asked, "Where are we going?! To the Wushen Altar on the Bu Lao Peak to get killed? There are pursuers behind us... Where can we hide?"

"What do you mean?" Ren Ye asked immediately.

"Damn it, it's not like I haven't fought ghosts before." Old Liu replied in a cheerful voice: "It's better to hide in the tomb than to deal with that shuttle outside, right? If that thing hits your butt accidentally, you may get pregnant."

"...!"

Everyone was speechless, feeling that the words he used were too vulgar, but there was some truth to them.

No one knows whether or not the black air in the mountain will dissipate, and no one knows when it will dissipate. Besides, the pursuers behind us will not all be killed. If daybreak comes, everyone will be chased like rabbits again.

The most important thing is that the Rhino Cave Master that day was indeed very powerful, and he had many helpers. It would be meaningless and would not gain any advantage if everyone continued to deal with him.

Ren Ye thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Although Lao Liu has no brains, his intuition is always accurate. Let's listen to him and hide in the tomb."

When Old Liu heard this, he got anxious and said, "Don't curse at me, I just don't have a son, but I definitely have a brain."

"The four of you go in first, and don't close the door."

Ren Ye immediately said, "I will leave the Human Emperor Seal behind to protect you, and I will take the Human Emperor Sword to look for Taoist Fenglin."

He does cheat people out of money normally, but when faced with an extremely urgent matter, he still cares about his teammates very much.

"Then be careful...!"

"it is good!"

As they were talking, everyone walked towards the stone gate in the tomb.

The closer they got, the colder the tomb door felt. Old Liu walked in front, holding up the Stone of Life and preparing to enter.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the black air on the left.

“Damn it…I’m going to die, I’m going to die…!”

A cursing voice was heard and everyone turned their heads suddenly.

"Snapped!"

Erleng was the first to react. His thumb instantly popped out the blade, and he only took one step forward, and his body was surrounded by the blade light.

"You shameless thief, don't even think about hurting my prince!"

He roared, and the blade light completely covered the left side.

"Whizzing!"

The figure took a step back and cursed speechlessly: "With this kind of brain, there is no way you can become the commander of the guards without spending money to bribe people!"

Erleng was startled when he heard that, and immediately put away his knife and stopped.

Everyone looked up and saw the figure nimbly dodged the knife light and then stepped into the sunset glow.

His hair was disheveled, his body was covered in dust, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth.

Ren Ye's eyes were bright: "My dear military advisor! I thought... you would die in a foreign land after serving for less than a day."

"As long as my lord is alive, I, this old minister, will not dare to die." Fenglin was also very foul-mouthed, and his words sounded like fertilizer, very powerful.

"That's good, that's good!" Ren Ye patted his shoulder with a happy expression.

Erleng scratched his head: "I was so nervous just now that I didn't recognize it as the military advisor's voice...!"

"Nothing, I'm used to you." Fenglin waved his hand and asked in astonishment, "Did you push open the tomb door?"

"No, it opened on its own." Ren Ye replied truthfully: "We were just about to go inside to take shelter."

Fenglin thought for a moment and said, "Among the pursuers, there are many high-level magical powers. I don't know when this black gas will dissipate. It's better to hide."

"Come on, let's go in."

The six of them exchanged a brief conversation and then walked into the tomb together.

"Crack!"

After entering, the tomb door closed by itself, as if nothing had happened.

The crowd walked along the gloomy tomb passage, and after walking less than a hundred meters, they saw the first entrance to the tomb chamber.

Old Liu lit something to illuminate the room and stood in the center of the tomb chamber.

Everyone turned their heads and saw murals engraved on all four walls of the small tomb.

What was strange was that the murals on three walls were all scratched by sharp blades, becoming blurred and unable to see the full picture clearly.

Only one mural is complete, and the scene depicted is very warm. In the center of the painting is the back of a man with a bun and a jade hairpin in his hair. His hair is black and white, and he looks quite old.

The man's back was very straight. He was sitting beside a pond, waving his right hand to throw food into the water, while three young dragons were fighting for food on the water surface.

Next to the man, there was a very cute little girl wearing a golden robe and a high bun on her hair. She was holding a bamboo stick and teasing three baby dragons.

Ren Ye stared at the carved portrait of the girl doll, and a faint sense of familiarity rose in his heart, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hehe...!"

Old Liu looked at the mural and commented with his hands behind his back, "Who is so bold?! In this Southern Xinjiang imperial mausoleum, they actually carved a mural of a dragon playing with it! Isn't this disrespectful?"

Erleng turned his head upon hearing this, revealing a look as if he was looking at a fool: "Brother Liu...is this mausoleum called the Dragon Lord Mausoleum? If not a picture of a dragon playing with you, are you going to draw two loaches?"

Old Liu reacted instantly, pouted and replied: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Taoist Fenglin said quietly, "The Dragon Lords of all generations are buried here. As we go forward, the first Dragon Lord coffin we encounter is likely to be one of the people who lived in the same dynasty as Wu Yuanjun. Moreover, we have seen him in the secret realm."

Ren also nodded slightly: "How much do you know about Southern Xinjiang?"

Taoist Fenglin pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "I only know that someone has been to the Bu Lao Peak just now, and must have moved the unknown object in the Wu Shen Festival, which caused the strange phenomenon."

"Oh!"

Ren also looked at him and nodded slightly.

……

Lingnan Prefecture, government office.

Jin Lang made Bau, a dozen generals and officials kneel on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"The emperor's secret decree: In recent days, the situation in the border areas has changed suddenly. There are Daqian thieves hiding behind the scenes, using Qingliang Prefecture as a base to lay out plans in our southern border.

I specially dispatched the Golden Wolf General Bau to lead his elite troops to attack Loushan Pass City overnight.

After the army arrives, you can work with Wang Shantang to rescue King Huai, with you as the leader and him as the assistant.

If you succeed in bringing back the young King Huai, you must protect him secretly and send him to Kyoto.

During this period, you and Wang Shantang must eat and live with King Huai, and never leave his side. No matter what King Huai asks, you must obey.

The night raid must not be made public and must be kept strictly confidential. If anyone neglects to do so, I will punish him severely."

The Golden Wolf General, who had been ignored by the court for who knows how long, shouted excitedly after hearing the contents of the imperial edict: "I obey the order. Long live the emperor."

After receiving the order, Jinlang immediately called the butler to come over and said, "Go and ask Fatty Wu to join the army. Remember, don't mention the matter of buying land with 6 million Xingyuan again! If he asks, you should pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't answer him."

"Yes!"
