The Forest of Death, the White Palace
An extremely evil and gripping-looking force enveloped the entire White Palace. Many cultivators gulped involuntarily because such strength oppressed all of them even for Martial Grand Master cultivators though.
“Yan Zhong, Yan Gong, Ku Zuo, it is better to currently bring this Treasure Chest! We'll talk about it outside later! Right now, you better hope to escape from whatever is coming soon!” said Ning Qingxue.
The three frowned when they heard what Ning Qingxue had said. However, the aura emanating throughout the White Palace was indeed extremely terrifying. The three hesitated for a moment ago and they agreed because it seemed that there was an enemy who was not familiar even Ning Qingxue seemed to know who it was.
“All teams! Get out of this palace!” Yan Gong was the first to shout then followed by the shouts of Yan Zhong and Ku Zuo.
Yan Gong was the one who held the treasure chest. He would naturally plan a devious scheme, if he managed to escape from whatever it was, he would bring the treasure chest back to the Yan Kingdom.
Yan Zhong and Ku Zuo certainly knew what Yan Gong wanted to do. But the two of them did not argue for now as they felt that they could definitely stop Yan Gong from bringing the day treasure chest back to the Yan Kingdom.
The cultivators inside the White Palace immediately rushed out one after another. And for the four leaders, they must have come out later because they were on the top floor of the White Palace.
When more than half of the cultivators had come out, a few strange skeletons came out from the underground room that Jian Chen and Xiao Yu had originally entered.
The rest of the cultivators who had yet to come out instantly stopped in place and gazed towards the terrifying-looking skeleton.
“What is it? Framework?”
“How can a skull live?”
“See, there is a strange beam in the eye sockets of that skull!”
The cultivators who had not come out of the White Palace stared towards the group of skeletons that were confronting the cultivators.
“Khaaa..”.
Before any cultivators moved, even one of the skeletons moved at an extremely high speed. When it arrived in front of a seventh stage Martial Master cultivator, the skull immediately waved its arm bone.
Bam!
The wave of the cob's arm immediately caused the cultivator to crash onto the floor surface.
Brak!
A few pieces of meat were seen scattered which made the cultivators put on shocked faces. Their eyes had almost popped out of their sockets from not expecting that a seventh stage Martial Master cultivator would be as fragile as that.
The first to react were the Xin brothers. The two instantly shot out arrows of qi at several skulls at once.
Bam! Bam!
Some skull bones were blown away and some of them were shattered. This indicates that there is a difference in strength between the skulls.
Before anyone else could speak, the four group leaders who had originally reached the first floor stared at the skulls that blocked the paths of all their subordinates.
The most shocked was Ning Qingxue, her body seemed to be holding on the spot as what she thought turned out to be reality.
“Quick clean all these skulls then get out of this place!” Ning Qingxue shouted loudly which made Yan Zhong, Yan Gong and Ku Zuo startled.
The three knew how calm Ning Qingxue was when she fought before but seemed to be in a great hurry when she saw the skulls.
The bomb! The bomb!
The fight happened for a while in the palace hall which was quite spacious.
Meanwhile, in the basement of the White Palace, a skull with a crown on its head was doing something. He said his palm towards the skull that was still lying inside the stone coffin.
A red aura seemed to seep into the skull lying down and red light emanated from his eyes. The lying skull slowly rose and moved towards the exit of the basement.
The skull with the crown did not stop at all and continued to do the same thing over and over again. The number of stone crates in the place is very large, and he is seen planning to turn on all the skulls in the basement.
When all the skulls had been turned on, the skull with the crown looked around it then waved its hand towards the many walls of the basement. A red-colored aura exploded in all directions and in that instant, many secret rooms were seen.
If Jian Chen were to be there, he would feel extremely regretful as it turned out to be many other secret rooms. But it was not to blame because he had originally found a secret room due to the special aura movement.
The skull with the crown also seemed to be enveloped by a red aura that was much more concentrated than before. At that very instant, the red light in his eye sockets became brighter.
Drrrttt!
The basement seemed to shake, not long after, all the doors of the secret basement room exploded and several skulls came out from inside.
The skull with the crown appears to open its jaw several times. At that very instant, a map that Jian Chen and Xiao Yu had originally seen slowly floated up and opened in front of the Skull.
When the map opens, it is seen that it is indeed a map of all regions of the world. However, when the map turned around, what was recorded there was an ancient inscription. In the center of the paper, a seven-pointed star with an eye symbol in the middle and another symbol on the edge.
“The time for revenge has arrived.”
“And Lizawa Island is the beginning of the first place that will fall!”
The skull with the crown spoke a very ancient language. If the cultivators saw that, they would all be shocked.
**
Jian Chen and Xiao Yu on the other hand had moved quite far away from the White Palace.
To Jian Chen, he was well aware of how strong the previous skull that had always gazed towards the map was placed inside the box. With just a slight leak of aura as he moved the box, he was able to detect with the Eternal Purple Crystal how strong the skull was.
This was what made Jian Chen no longer interested in taking any resources in the White Palace because it was possible that he and Xiao Yu would be in danger.
Duars!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in the distance.
Jian Chen and Xiao Yu who were moving were directly staring towards the back with shocked gazes. What they saw made their understanding of the world of cultivators even further.
What Jian Chen and Xiao Yu saw at this moment was a gigantic skull that was clearly made of qi was swinging its palm which made a huge earthquake happen.
“Jian Chen! Whatisit? Wait a minute, Skull with crown?” Xiao Yu was immediately nervous for a moment because he had seen the crown.
“This is likely the previous skull that did it! Even though it was made of qi, to make something like that was definitely its power was terrifying! Xiao Yu, let's get out of here! If we continue to be in the Deathly Forest, we will probably die!” Jian Chen wasted no more time and immediately moved at his full speed. And Xiao Yu immediately rushed over because he certainly knew how terrifying the Skull was with the crown.
