Towards Eternity
Ch 520's. The Underground Path
After finishing off the Elders from the Red Devil College, Weng Lou carelessly walked over to one by one the soldiers who had previously confronted him who were currently sitting on the ground dumbfounded.
Those who were still conscious witnessed all that Weng Lou had done to Shengshi Huangdi as well as the Elders of the Red Devil College. Despite being injured, they all tried hard to continue to maintain their consciousness because they were confident that if they closed their eyes at this moment, then they would not be able to open their eyes again forever.
"All of you, because my day is good today, I will give you 2 choices, and I expect your wisdom in choosing one of the choices I will give you. Do you guys want to?" asked Weng Lou indifferently.
The soldiers stared at each other before then surprisingly nodding together to Weng Lou.
Although only a weak soldier, but they are clearly smart people. After seeing the real power displayed by Weng Lou, all of them could only hope to stay alive after this all. And now, it seemed like Weng Lou was intending to let them live. What else are they waiting for? Obviously taking the opportunity that Weng Lou gave was the best choice.
"Good. You're all smarter than I thought. Then I will say what options you can choose, listen to me carefully. First, you can go out of this room and capture all the servants and workers in the palace and bring them to me alive then I will not kill you.
The second option, you can get out of here and start killing the other soldiers who are currently attacking some intruders outside, then I am not killing you. Choose, I will not see from the most votes, but individually, and you must go immediately to do as you choose."
Hearing the two choices given by Weng Lou, the soldiers there could not help but feel astonished.
Both options offered by Weng Lou would equally make Weng Lou not kill them, but the difficulty of each of the two options had a very clear distance visible.
At the moment they were injured from the previous attack by Weng Lou, the only option they could take to ensure the safety of their lives was to capture the servants and workers in the palace alive, so quickly almost all the soldiers immediately took this option and limped out of the room to make their choice.
Meanwhile, the remaining 15 soldiers seemed to be thinking hard. The choice given by Weng Lou was straightforward, and only a fool would choose the option to kill the soldiers outside. But what if actually Weng Lou is hiding something?
One of the soldiers in the corner of the room was seriously contemplating the choice given by Weng Lou.
'The fate of the current Emperor was clearly not going to survive after the person spoken of by them earlier came here. Therefore, the only safe option is to stand on this person's side. Means I have to show my usefulness and also my loyalty to stay alive.
The choice this guy gave us was definitely a test to see if we were kayaking for a living tetao or not. En! Then I'll choose that!'
The soldier immediately got up to his feet while holding the stab scar on his left hand, before then walking towards Weng Lou.
Weng Lou's eyes glowed upon hearing the soldier's choice and laughed softly. He then extended his hand quickly and touched the hand of the wounded soldier. Miraculously, the soldier's wounds instantly healed in the blink of an eye and rendered the soldier speechless.
"Good choice, you can do it. Kill as many as you can until the battle is over." Weng Lou spoke in his relaxed voice.
The soldier nodded loudly and immediately ran out and looked for the soldier to kill. Meanwhile, the remaining soldiers immediately got up and made their choice after seeing Weng Lou's attitude towards the previous soldier.
They all chose the second option confidently, and Weng Lou healed all of their wounds and let them go out to kill the soldiers that Weng Lou meant.
As far as they were, it was Weng Lou who could not hold back any longer, he could only laugh loosely and step away the large curtain that was behind the throne where Shengshi Huangdi was while continuing to shake his head.
"Killing you guys is not my job, so I'm going to free you all. But unlike the story with Ye Lao and Teacher Qian, even if you run away for miles, the two of them will find you. Hahahaha....yah, at least they can ease my duties, and I can do much more useful things," said Weng Lou as he opened the curtain before him.
There is a relief that seems to tell the beginning of the formation of the Fanrong Empire on Fanrong Island. Weng Lou seemed unconcerned by the relief, and without further ado struck the crushed relief.
*Shelf! The debuking!*
The stones that were the means of relief were smashed into pieces and displayed a staircase leading underground. The staircase seemed to be pointing deep into the ground and Weng Lou could see a large door at the end of the stairs, about two hundred meters away.
Although there was no lighting at all around the stairs, but with the help of Qi, Weng Lou could easily see inside the darkness like during the day without any problems at all.
"The storage room of the palace should not have been built like this. Obviously this is a path to another room that has long been forgotten. I suspect even the previous emperor did not know about this path at all, what else Liu Ning." Weng Lou's hand stroked the wall of the small hallway and saw the thick dust in his pitch-black hand.
From his observation, this Fanrong Empire should have experienced several forcible changes of rulers like Shengshi Huangdi did. This caused the information-informas known only to the Emperor to be forgotten because no one had inherited this information.
If you look around, this pathway to the underground was built by some Martial Practitioners who were at least in the Soul Cleansing realm stage 5 and above. Weng Lou could estimate the age of this underground passage to be at least 500 years old, and still be fine until now. It required elemental control with the help of a high level Qi to be able to make it, so Weng Lou drew such a conclusion.
"Gold is just a toy for Martial Practitioners who have been in the realm of Soul Unification like me. What is considered a treasure by people like me is only training resources and rare mineral materials. If the age of this underground passageway is as old as I thought there should be something that could interest me down there."
