Eps. 330 — Golden Palace
"Even if I have heard it but have seen it directly is clearly different..." Jian Chen clucked in awe as in the distance he saw a Palace made entirely of gold.
The golden palace was clearly visible in the vastness of the desert, when the sunlight illuminated, the palace looked glare in various directions.
Jian Chen looked not far from the palace, there was a troupe of warriors heading towards the desert palace. They seemed to be going to visit the palace to look for treasures or valuable items as the rumors said.
Jian Chen and Lily then floated not far from the entourage, making sure they could not see its whereabouts.
"Why don't you just go into that palace?" Lily asked a little grumbling. "There's a lot of dust, my face can get dirty later..."
"We are not in a hurry and there is no reason for us to speed up the journey." Jian Chen narrowed his eyes. "At any rate, you're still pretty in any condition..."
"Hmmm!"
Lily snorted while throwing her face away, although she slightly refused but she still obeyed Jian Chen.
After being inside the entourage, Jian Chen learned that they were warriors from the Qilin empire who wanted to try to enter the desert palace.
Their average strength was the Earth Realm upwards, only a few of them had reached the Sky Realm.
"Senior Luan, I heard that some sky-top swordsman was killed there too, are we sure we want to enter the palace?"
One of the men of the party seemed most afraid to enter the palace, he was trying to persuade the leader of the group to undo the intention.
"You're overreacting to other people's words Junior Zhi, they're just scaring us into not getting into the palace. The proof is that there are still many people here..." The leader of the entourage replied, he looked more aged than the swordsman who asked.
"But Senior Luan, the fact that the Palace is dangerous is beyond dispute..."
"I know but still the news is excessive, who knows the palace works like luck. It may be that the hundredth time guest can enter the Palace easily."
That explanation was enough to make the person who asked broke out in cold sweat. They were obviously not sure it would work that way.
Five minutes later, they arrived at the grand gate of the tall and majestic palace, glittering with gold carvings in every inch.
The group continued to walk closer to the gate, when the distance was not far away suddenly the palace gate opened by itself.
The expression of the party was instantly pale, from the inside, a dense murderous aura immediately seeped out of the palace, making anyone who sensed it would feel a great fear.
"Senior Luan, we better not go inside. My instinct says we'll die if we keep trying to get in..."
"Senior Luan, I don't want to go in there, even if given a million gold coins, I won't want to!"
In fact, the figure called Senior Luan also reacted similarly. When that murderous aura was felt by his body, his hair was goosebumps violently.
Moreover, there was a foul smell that smelled when the gate of the palace was opened, making anyone who planned inside would not feel at home with the smell.
Although heavy-hearted, in the end the group did not enter, they chose to undo their intentions rather than die silly inside.
"Basic, a cowardly troupe..." Lily snorted as she looked at the group with a cynical look. "So what are we doing now, straight in?" Lily turned her head towards Jian Chen.
Jian Chen did not first reply, he looked towards the gate's palace. The murderous aura that the palace released clearly shocked him.
"It seems like hundreds or even thousands of lives have been killed here, making the palace so give off a murderous aura..." Lily clucked repeatedly as she shook her head slowly. "Sometimes people forget that treasures will not be worth their while if they die..."
Jian Chen then glanced at the girl. "Do you think I should go inside?"
Jian Chen grinned widely, he did not answer the girl's question but instead directly landed on the ground, walking closer to the palace gate while Lily just rolled her eyeballs lazily, making her way around, obviously the young man would not hear his words.
Jian Chen and Lily started to step foot into the palace gate, the murderous aura that the palace released would have no effect on Jian Chen.
The hallway of the palace looked spacious, like a large palace in general, the difference was that this Palace was made of gold as a whole.
"It's really real gold, no wonder people will be lured here..." Jian Chen tapped on the palace wall that was indeed made of gold.
The more the two advanced, the more dirty and dusty the palace hallway, in fact the Palace was not maintained from the inside, it was clear there were many spider webs formed in the corners of the hallway.
The smell of foul smell added thick nose, Jian Chen understood it was time he approached the location of the corpses of warriors who had fallen inside this palace.
"Is there something?" Jian Chen asked Lily, the girl looked worried at the surroundings.
"Nothing, I'm just not used to this Palace made of gold."
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes, he felt Lily as if she was being frightened but in the end he did not discuss it any further.
Jian Chen and Lily finally arrived at the first room, a large and magnificent room with architecture like a real palace.
Actually Jian Chen would be amazed by the splendor of the Palace but his attention was not focused there but on the bodies lying on the floor of the palace.
Almost thousands of bodies were already lying everywhere, Jian Chen understood they were all killed in this room and that made him even more vigilant.
Sure enough, before long, the sound of animal hissing could be heard filling the ceiling of the palace. Not just one but many.
Jian Chen widened his eyes as dozens of purple portals suddenly formed in front of him, the portal was almost the same as the one his teacher created when he split up.
From inside the portal appeared a dozen spiders that were the size of a large carriage.The spider was green, looking creepy with sharp fangs in its mouth.
Seeing the existence that infiltrated the palace, the spider hissed furiously towards Jian Chen and considered him a threat.
"They are the guards of this palace..." Jian Chen activated his celestial eyes, the instant he instantly knew the strength of that demon. "The nearly thousand-year-old smile, its strength matches those in the Sky Realm..."
Jian Chen clucked in annoyance, he now understood why there were so many bodies around him.
The spiders kept popping up inside the portal, at least their number was now almost fifty more.
Jian Chen created an ice sword in his hand, preparing for a fight. "Lily, help me from afar, we can-..."
Jian Chen had yet to finish his sentence when Lily suddenly hid behind his back.
"What are you doing?" Jian Chen raised his eyebrows.
Lily coughed slowly. "Ehm, you know, all women are afraid of spiders..."
Jian Chen frowned. "You afraid of spiders?"
"I'm not afraid, just a little amused..." Lily suddenly had great goosebumps when she saw the spider hissing back, she hurriedly hid her face behind Jian Chen's back. "You guys, handle them yourself. I can't fight them!"
Jian Chen patted the eel, not expecting the fairy race woman to be afraid of a spider that was even weaker than him.
As silent as Lily was like a girl in general, her face flushed in embarrassment as she had to admit her weakness in front of Jian Chen.
