Ye Xingchen had just had a very realistic dream, as if he had been there.
But …
Why did he dream of the past, of Empress Lingyao?
Standing in the mirror-like stone chamber, Ye Xingchen was still thinking about the scene he had just experienced. He remembered every word clearly, and his mind was in a mess.
There was one thing he couldn't deny. In his previous life, he had valued martial arts too much.
After his rebirth, he had become a disciple of the Sect of All Times. He had slowly come to understand that there were many things in this world that needed to be cherished and protected.
Ye Xingchen's expression became more and more ferocious.
The more he agreed with Empress Lingyao's words in the dream, the angrier he became. Did this mean that she was trying to kill him to change her personality and mentality from her previous life?
"Kacha!"
He clenched his fists tightly.
Ye Xingchen hated Empress Lingyao to the core, so he would not accept any way to clear his name!
"Mr. Pei, what's wrong with you?"
Jie Lingyao was very worried that he had just pulled this man out of his painful state, and now he was acting so ferocious.
"Phew!"
Ye Xingchen exhaled and relaxed his fists.
He still had to find the treasure, so why should he care about a dead woman?
"You didn't enter the dream just now?"
"Dream?"
Jie Lingyao was confused.
Ye Xingchen did not speak, but he was confused.
Obviously, when he had stepped on the stone chamber floor, he had triggered some kind of restriction and entered the dream. Why wasn't this woman affected? Could it be that it did not work on low-level martial artists?
"Let's go!"
Ye Xingchen adjusted his state of mind and continued forward with Jie Lingyao.
On the other side of the stone chamber, there was another long tunnel, and there were many traps in it.
For example, poisonous arrows, fire and poison, and falling rocks. You could think of any kind of trap, but they were all here. It was obvious how low-level the designer was.
"Ding ding ding!"
"Ding ding ding!"
Flying daggers came flying at him, but Ye Xingchen ignored them completely. He strode forward, his eyes full of disdain.
This level of mechanism was only a threat to martial artists with low cultivation. For someone in the Truth-seeking Realm like him, it was not even an itch.
"Amazing."
Jie Lingyao, who was carefully following behind, had a look of worship on her face. She had completely turned into a fangirl.
Surrounded by various forces, her life and death could be said to be on the line. Suddenly, a powerful martial artist appeared and saved her from danger. He even protected her and helped her search for treasures. With such a melodramatic and romantic plot, which girl could withstand it?
…
After passing through a tunnel filled with mechanisms, another stone room appeared. Inside, there were eight large pillars with lifelike carvings of birds and beasts. It gave off the feeling of a palace.
"This should be the end," Jie Lingyao said.
Ye Xingchen could not use his spiritual senses to probe, so he could only rely on his naked eyes to look deeper. However, he did not find any treasure, so he frowned and said, "Are you playing with me?"
Along the way, he had patiently protected this woman in order to find the treasure and contribute to the sect. But in the end … it was empty!
"This shouldn't be the case."
Jie Lingyao carefully looked at the sheepskin scroll again and confirmed that the end point was here.
"I hate being lied to, especially by women," Ye Xingchen said coldly, "If you return empty-handed, you will die without a complete corpse."
Jie Lingyao said, "Maybe there's a secret room hidden here. We can look for it carefully."
With that, she walked into the stone room first.
"Crack!"
After a few steps, the stone floor under her feet caved in. Suddenly, a boulder carrying some kind of power fell from the ceiling.
The color drained from Jie Lingyao's face as she subconsciously turned to look …
"Boom!" Ye Xingchen had already appeared in front of her, holding the boulder firmly with one hand.
"Thank you."
"Get out of my way!"
"…"
Jie Lingyao hurriedly moved aside. The caved in stone floor under her feet recovered, and the power enveloping the boulder gradually dissipated.
Ye Xingchen could easily shake it off, but he still put it in his Space Ring. The reason was that the material of the stone was extraordinary. He would bring it back to Master Fan.
"Mister Pei."
Jie Lingyao smiled. "If you take this extraordinary stone, you won't return empty-handed, right?"
"I'm here for treasure, not for a stone!" Ye Xingchen roared.
Good.
This guy had been infected by Gou Sheng.
Whenever he was agitated, whenever he couldn't control his emotions, he would immediately turn into a roaring emperor.
"Pfft!"
Jie Lingyao covered her mouth and laughed.
Ever since she met this man, he had always put on a cold face, as if everyone owed him money. Now that he finally changed his expression … it was actually quite cute.
Was this cute?
Wouldn't it be even more adorable if she saw how the Night Emperor ran to the livestock pen or the Purple Craggy Demon King's bed when he was drunk?
Ye Xingchen turned around and said coldly, "Follow me."
"Oh."
Jie Lingyao hurried over and asked, "Mister Pei, is Empress Lingyao your enemy?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"When you mention her, I see a murderous look in your eyes."
"What does it have to do with you?"
"…"
Jie Lingyao tactfully shut her mouth and began to carefully observe the stone room.
There were only a few large pillars inside, so the two of them quickly circled around and came to the conclusion that there was nothing!
"That can't be!"
Jie Lingyao looked at the parchment again and again and said, "The treasure should be here."
"Soak it in water and burn it with fire."
"What if the pattern is ruined and the scroll is burned?"
It was indeed possible. Back then, Jun Changxiao's treasure-hunting experience had been … burned to ashes because he had imitated the plot of a television drama.
"Give it to me."
Ye Xingchen said, "I'll burn it!"
Jie Lingyao hesitated for a moment, then handed the sheepskin scroll over.
Then, a strange scene occurred!
When Ye Xingchen took the sheepskin scroll, the pattern on it suddenly glowed and lit up the entire stone room.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! "
Lines appeared on the stone floor under his feet and quickly spread throughout the stone room, as if it was an ancient array that had existed for a long time.
"All under heaven is the King's land, and all in the universe are the King's subjects!" A loud and clear sound rang out abruptly. The originally empty stone room was enveloped by all kinds of lines, gradually forming into a magnificent and magnificent hall!
"…"
Ye Xingchen frowned. His gaze was fixed on the majestic throne in front of him because there was a man sitting on it. He wore a crown on his head and wore golden armor. He had an imposing appearance and was extraordinarily mighty.
Below.
A hundred people knelt down.
The shouts that echoed in the stone room came from their mouths.
"Mr. Pei!"
Jie Lingyao exclaimed, "It's you!"
That's right! The mighty man's figure, facial features, and aura were exactly the same as Ye Xingchen's.
Beside the throne sat a graceful and elegant woman. From her appearance … Jie Lingyao's expression gradually became sluggish. She said in disbelief, "Me?"
