Chapter 2351: The Meng Clan of the Great Qin!

Li Xuantu stared at the corpse on the ground and said, “It’s rather strange. It doesn’t seem like some outsider who wandered into the Celestial Palace!”

Wang Chong carefully examined the corpse on the ground, particularly the face. “It truly is rather strange. His armor doesn’t appear to originate from any dynasty of the Central Plains, and his expression is far too calm. There’s no pain or anger. That’s not a normal reaction at all.”

The battlefield was where people died the most, and Wang Chong had taken part in several major wars, with hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths.

Wang Chong had seen far too much death on the battlefield, and many people would die feeling immense pain, like those Han generals they had encountered in the previous region.

But this corpse was far too calm. His face held no joy or sorrow. It was like all the injuries had happened to someone else.

And those eyes were too unfocused, even empty.

This wasn’t what a normal person should look like. Wang Chong would be more willing to call him a puppet.

As Wang Chong’s eyes passed over the corpse’s ribs, he suddenly snapped his fingers. A moment later, a special token that had been pressed beneath his body flew into the air.

Ding!

Wang Chong reached out, sucking the metal token into his hand.

‘Celestial Guard’!

These two words, written in ancient script, had been carved into the token.

The two of them fell silent at this token.

“It’s one of Heaven’s people.”

This was actually the first time they had seen one of Heaven’s subordinates after entering the Celestial Palace.

“These are probably puppets of the Celestial Palace. Their will has been completely stripped away, and they feel no pain regardless of the injuries they sustain,” Wang Chong sternly said.

Looking at those slack eyes, Wang Chong recalled the Celestial Army that he had seen in the memories of the Arab High Priest. The two of them were rather similar, but there were also differences, like in the armor. Thus, Wang Chong had not immediately recognized them for what they were.

Moreover, the Celestial Palace was Heaven’s personal ritual tool, and not even the members of the Celestial God Organization were allowed within. To serve as a substitute for them, Heaven had created these guardian puppets that could feel no pain.

They continued deeper, encountering more and more Celestial Guards. Their bodies were scattered about the edge of the third region, all of them having suffered immense damage.

“Whoever came in here was incredibly powerful. With one punch, they were able to punch right through these Celestial Guards, blasting apart their armor. This is truly some shocking strength. What sort of person ended up wandering into this place?” Li Xuantu said.

This place was Heaven’s base, and the majority of the people who came in had been lured by Heaven to walk into his trap. This was the first time they had seen someone who could turn from a ‘guest’ into a ‘master’, killing Heaven’s Celestial Guard without restraint.

The fact that this group was able to resist Heaven’s mental control and even slaughter the Celestial Guards was proof of their strength.

This was clearly an extremely formidable group of people.

Let alone Li Xuantu, even Wang Chong felt very curious. What sort of person could have torn through the Celestial Guards like this?

Their curiosity didn’t last for long. A few moments later, the two of them saw the terrifying foe of these Celestial Guards.

In the square, another corpse was collapsed in front of several Celestial Guards.

This man had a slender yet powerful body. He wore black armor that was completely different from the armor of the Celestial Guards, and his weapon was a long and heavy black sword.

The sword’s edge was chipped and cracked after slaying numerous foes. And if one looked carefully, one could see that dried blood thickly covered the blade.

The man had a vicious face that was seething with killing intent. Even in death, he maintained a fighting posture. Even for a Great General like Wang Chong, it left an extremely deep impression.

There was no doubt that this tiger of a general was not merely strong. He was one of those who truly had no fear of death.

But what drew Wang Chong’s attention the most was the two long black feathers extending from the helmet.

“This is a Qin Guard!”

Wang Chong slightly creased his brow, his expression turning grave.

“Not just any Qin Guard, but someone who served the Imperial Palace, a top-class Kingsguard,” Li Xuantu said as he examined the corpse.

The helmet bearing two black feathers was a special kind of helmet that none of the dynasties after the Qin had used. Moreover, Tang armor was bright and dazzling, and had been designed to have breastplate mirrors, but this Qin Guard was not wearing this sort of armor.

In addition, according to the existing historical records, the Qin Dynasty identified with the color black, and black armor was extremely common in the Qin Dynasty.

The two of them had not imagined that they would find a Qin Dynasty soldier here.

The Kingsguard were not sent out for no reason. The two instantly had all sorts of theories, but they kept them to themselves. They would soon get to the bottom of this riddle.

As they ventured deeper, they soon arrived at the main battlefield.

Though they had mentally prepared themselves, when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still left reeling in shock.

The first thing Wang Chong saw on this vast battlefield was a giant war banner. On this banner was the word ‘Qin’ (秦).

Around this banner, Wang Chong saw the bodies of many Qin Guards, and around them were thousands of Celestial Guards. Besides these Celestial Guards, Wang Chong also saw men in black who had transformed into Lu Wus. These people had lost all rationality and had crazily charged at the Qin Guards.
