Chapter 2093: Another Meeting with the Mysterious Senior Underground! (1/2)
Grabbing the copper key, Wang Chong disappeared.
……
At night, in the inner court of the Imperial Palace, outside the imperial prison…
Two figures stood side by side in the darkness.
”I didn't think that this key would be for the area under the imperial prison, the general hub for all the formations and seals in the Sui Dynasty's palace!”
Wang Chong looked at the copper key floating in the air, now exuding a golden light, as he softly muttered to himself.
If one looked carefully, one would realize that the strands of light intersected into a miniature projection of the area beneath the imperial prison. The layout of the cells and the formations and seals around them were shown in exquisite detail.
Wang Chong looked at the prison and mentally said, Senior, it's time we met again!
”Begin!”
Wang Chong extended a hand, grabbing Divine Embryo 1's shoulder. Soon, Divine Embryo 1 flashed with light and activated its Earth Movement ability.
The sturdy ground rippled like water, and the pair swiftly vanished into the depths.
The subterranean world was dark, all light coming from the various complicated underground seals.
It was not just the imperial prison. The entirety of the area beneath the Imperial Palace was covered in seals. However, the copper key made all of these seals open up to Wang Chong, and he and Divine Embryo 1 traveled straight down into the depths of the abandoned Sui palace.
Finally, after passing through level after level and going past cinnabar dragon pillars, Wang Chong arrived in the deepest part of the palace.
Bang!
The key in Wang Chong's hand was pulled toward an ancient gate of Xuan Metal. With a great boom, the gate opened. Smoke poured out, and a 'world' forgotten by people slowly revealed itself to Wang Chong.
”Brat! It's you!”
Almost the moment the gate opened, a familiar and aloof voice rang out, and a powerful energy seemed to awaken.
Whoosh!
Soon afterward, there was a clattering of chains, and then a long silence.
Wang Chong's heart thumped and his mind was momentarily dazed. He walked past the threshold and entered the deepest part of this abandoned palace.
Wang Chong saw a hall of greenish black, dark bricks forming the floor, a simple dragon carved on each of them.
Though they were dragons, these dragons were different from the dragons of the Great Tang, more akin to the dragons of the Han Dynasty.
This is some extremely important palace of the Sui Dynasty!
Wang Chong suddenly understood.
Rather than a cell, it appeared more like a forgotten and luxurious palace.
But a moment later, Wang Chong came back to his senses and walked toward that familiar energy.
A few moments later, Wang Chong finally saw the owner of that voice that he had heard three-some years ago.
Though he had mentally prepared himself, seeing that figure still left him deeply stunned.
Between two golden dragon pillars was a square altar as tall as a man. Atop this altar sat an erect figure wearing an imperial robe of black and gold.
His long hair covered his face, but with one glance, Wang Chong could tell that this man had been born with an air of grace and nobility.
Yet it was clear that the man had not lived a life of nobility.
Two thick chains extended out of the altar and under his robes. One of them was clearly attached to his ankle.
The man sat cross-legged there, as motionless as a tree.
Though the man was restraining his energy, Wang Chong still felt an all-consuming storm of energy radiating from him.
Savagery!
Danger!
These were Wang Chong's first sensations!
