As soon as the people from the Martial Palace appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. No matter where a powerhouse went, they would always be the center of attention.
"Look, it's the people from the Martial Palace. They're here as well."
"These are the true geniuses of the Martial Palace, they're really strong! They're able to break through to the Combat Soul realm before the age of 30! Look at those two men, they're both Mid Combat Soul warriors! This is really frightening!"
"I've heard of him before. Both of them are geniuses from the Martial Saint Dynasty, and they are cultivating in the Martial Palace. One of them is the son of the Ninth Emperor, Wu Lang, and the other one is the son of the Tenth Emperor, Wu Cong. Both of them are princes of the Martial Saint Dynasty. Be it their status or identity, they are incomparable to ordinary people."
…
Everyone was shocked. The geniuses of the Martial Palace were just too dazzling, especially those two geniuses from the Martial Saint Dynasty. They were the princes of the Martial Saint Dynasty, and their statuses were extremely respectable. More importantly, they were able to reach such a level before the age of thirty, which caused everyone to feel a sense of respect towards them.
"Ling Du greets the two princes."
"Shangguan Yilong greets the two princes."
Ling Du and Shangguan Yilong brought their men and walked forward at the same time. They bowed toward Wu Lang and Wu Cong, not daring to show any neglect. These two men in front of them were truly formidable existences, no matter if it was in the Martial Palace or the Martial Saint Dynasty, they were top existences.
"Ling Du, I didn't expect you to come as well."
The snow-white Wu Cong looked at Ling Du and nodded with a smile. Ling Du was a disciple of the Martial House, and his relationship with Wu Cong was quite good.
"Junior Brother Ling, did you find that Jiang Chen?"
An ordinary-looking man from the Martial House took a step forward and arrived in front of Ling Du. His name was Yang Yun, and he used to be a disciple of the Myriad Sword Sect. Later on, he entered the Martial House to cultivate. When he mentioned the two words' Jiang Chen ', his tone was filled with hatred. Obviously, he knew everything that happened in the desert.
"Senior Brother Yang, we haven't found Jiang Chen yet. However, if we encounter him, we'll definitely tear him to pieces."
Ling Du said viciously.
"Humph! Anyone who dares to kill someone from the Wan Jian House will die for sure. "
Yang Yun snorted coldly.
"Yilong, I heard that Yilei also died at the hands of that Jiang Chen? Is it true? "
Another muscular young man from the Martial Palace arrived in front of the Shangguan Clan and asked with a loud voice.
"Brother Yihong, Yilei was indeed killed by that Jiang Chen. If I see him, I'll definitely cut him into a thousand pieces. Unfortunately, that Jiang Chen seemed to have disappeared after he entered the Island of Ice. I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried. Even those three bastards who followed Jiang Chen couldn't find him."
Shangguan Yilong said fiercely. This young man in front of him was Shangguan Yihong, a peerless genius from the Shangguan Clan. He was currently cultivating in the Martial Palace, and he had followed the two princes to the Island of Ice to train.
"He's just a Divine Core warrior, but he's able to kill a Combat Soul warrior! Looks like this guy isn't simple, I'm sure he has some treasures with him."
Wu Cong said with a sneer on his face.
"Prince is right. That Jiang Chen has robbed dozens of Combat Soul warriors' storage rings, and those rings contained almost all the treasures from the Blissful Island's auction. He also has a few Perfect-Ranked Combat Weapons, a huge amount of Heavenly Elixir, and countless other rare treasures. To put it bluntly, Jiang Chen is a living treasure!"
Shangguan Yilong cupped his fist toward Wu Cong and said.
"A huge amount of Heavenly Elixir?"
Wu Cong's eyes lit up. As a prince of the Martial Saint Dynasty, he had seen all kinds of treasures, but the name Heavenly Elixir was able to instantly attract his attention. It was a pill that only Combat King warriors and above could use.
"Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect, if you can't deal with that Jiang Chen, I'll lend you a hand. At that time, I'll help you kill him and get revenge, and all his treasures will belong to me."
Wu Cong said with a smile. A greedy expression emerged on his face.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yihong, Yang Yun, and the others furrowed their brows. Initially, they wanted to kill Jiang Chen and obtain all his treasures. But, judging from Wu Cong's tone, it seemed like he had already regarded Jiang Chen as his prey. If Wu Cong were to kill him, they wouldn't be able to do anything. At that point of time, all the treasures would belong to Wu Cong, and they didn't dare compete with him.
"Wu Cong, pay attention to your identity. You're from the Martial Saint Dynasty, don't interfere in the fights between sects."
Wu Lang, who had been silent all this time, said with an unhappy expression. He had a medium build, and his bronze skin made him look like a man. His sharp face gave him a tough look, and compared to Wu Cong, he looked less sinister and cunning.
"Hmph! Wu Lang, just mind your own business. It's not your place to meddle in my affairs. "
Wu Cong coldly harrumphed, not giving Wu Lang any face.
After that, Wu Cong turned to the men from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect and said, "Let's go, now that we've entered the inner area of the Island of Ice, it's time for us to search for our fortune. I, Wu Cong, am a peerless genius with a great destiny, I'm sure I'll be able to find a great fortune, and become someone like the Emperor."
After saying that, Wu Cong strode forward, and the rest of the men followed suit. They had gone through nine paths and the Path of Life and Death, and finally arrived at the center of the Island of Ice. Of course, they wanted to see what kind of treasures were inside.
Wu Lang's eyes flickered with a bright light. He didn't want to argue with Wu Cong, and strode forward.
"Looks like the relationship between these two princes isn't that good."
"They're both from the imperial family, it's normal for them to fight for power. The Ninth Emperor and Tenth Emperor don't have a good relationship to begin with, so it's not hard to imagine the relationship between these two princes."
"The imperial family doesn't have any familial ties. Let's go, I think there's a building in front of us."
… …
Many people were discussing amongst themselves. The conflict between the imperial family wasn't something they could imagine.
Not long after the crowd left, three men dashed out from the Path of Death. These three men were none other than Han Yan, Nangong Wentian, and Da Huang Dog.
The three men and the dog looked a little messy. Obviously, they had encountered all sorts of troubles in the Path of Death, but luckily, they were able to walk out unscathed.
"Little Chenzi hasn't come out yet."
Nangong Wentian said.
"Forget it, let's go and have a look."
After saying that, Han Yan strode forward.
… …
In front of the ancient pagoda, everyone was standing more than a hundred meters away from it, staring at the ancient pagoda in shock.
"The treasure must be inside this ancient pagoda, it's really mystical, there are mysterious symbols carved on it."
Shangguan Yihong said.
"That's right, this is the center of the Island of Ice, and besides this ancient pagoda, there's nothing else here. The real treasure must be inside this ancient pagoda."
Ling Du said.
"Let's enter the pagoda."
Wu Cong shouted out, then he was the first one to walk toward the ancient pagoda. Soon, everyone had gathered in front of the ancient pagoda's door. It was an old stone door, and it looked extremely thick and sturdy.
"Yang Yun, break this stone door."
Wu Cong said.
"Yes, prince."
Yang Yun dared not hesitate. He immediately walked toward the stone door, circulated his Yuan energy, and unleashed a powerful punch toward the stone door.
Rumble …
The earth was shaking violently, and even the ground beneath their feet was violently shaking. The stone door produced a deep and muffled explosion sound, but it was still as firm as before. The Life Gate of an Early Combat Soul warrior could easily shatter a small hill, but it couldn't even break open a stone door. This was really shocking to everyone.
More importantly, not only did Yang Yun's punch not break the stone door, it didn't even shake the foundation of the stone door.
"What a sturdy stone door! Looks like it can't be opened with brute force!"
Someone cried out in shock.
"Hmph! Let me have a try. "
Wu Cong snorted. He slowly raised his palm, and with a loud bang, he unleashed a dazzling beam of light that bombarded the stone door.
Rumble …
The impact was even more intense than before. But too bad, the stone door still didn't budge.
"What?!"
Wu Cong cried out in shock, "Even I can't break open this stone door with a single strike! There must be a treasure hidden within this ancient pagoda!"
Crack …
Right after Wu Cong finished speaking, a cracking sound was heard. Stone chips started falling off from the surface of the stone door, and nine dents appeared on it. Each of the dents was the size of a palm.
"Look, what's that? It looks like a switch."
Shangguan Yilong pointed his finger toward the stone door.
Right at this moment, everyone turned their attention to the stone door. Sure enough, there were nine dents on the stone door, each the size of a palm.
"The mark on this slot looks so familiar."
Shangguan Yilong said with a frown on his face.
"Bronze plate!"
Wu Cong cried out in shock. With a flip of his palm, a broken bronze plate appeared in his palm. He held the bronze plate and pointed it at one of the dents, and sure enough, it looked exactly the same.
"I finally know what this broken bronze plate is used for, it's the key to open this ancient pagoda!"
With a flip of his palm, Shangguan Yilong took out a bronze plate as well.
"I have one with me as well."
Ling Du took out a bronze plate as well.
"I have one with me as well."
Wu Lang also had a bronze plate, both of which he found in the Gate of Life and Death.
"I have one with me as well."
One of the young geniuses from the Martial Palace also had a bronze plate. In total, there were five bronze plates in front of them.
"Who else has a bronze plate? In order to open the ancient pagoda's door, we need nine bronze plates, and it looks like we can't do without any of them. Who has a bronze plate, please take it out. As long as you have a bronze plate, you will be able to get the most precious part of the treasures inside the ancient pagoda."
Wu Cong looked around and said. None of them knew what these bronze plates were used for before, but now they did. However, in order to open the ancient pagoda, all nine bronze plates had to be used at the same time. With only five bronze plates, there was no way they could open the ancient pagoda's door.
"Who else has a bronze plate, please take it out now."
Shangguan Yilong turned around and looked at the crowd. Not far from him, he saw a majestic Da Huang Dog, and two men standing beside Da Huang Dog.
"Da Huang Dog!"
