Chapter 91 Underground Palace (2/2)

“Awesome!” Zhou Yuan gave a thumbs-up to Yaoyao.

“Go open the door.” Yaoyao hoisted her sharp little chin.

Zhou Yuan walked forward, placed his hand on the ice-cold bronze door and gave a little push. A creaking sound could be heard as the bronze door that had been tightly shut for many many years slowly cracked open.

As the bronze door was pushed open, dusky yellow light peered through.

The trio cautiously walked in.

Behind the door was what appeared to be a spacious underground palace. Though it had been sealed for a long time, there was still fresh air flowing through. The first sight that greeted them was the countless silhouettes silently seated within.

“Are all of these… battle puppets?!” Zhou Yuan’s expression immediately changed. He had discovered that these battle puppets were similar to those they had encountered before, only they appeared even more high-class.

“No need to panic, the cores of these battle puppets are in a dormant state. Moreover, they have not been given any commands. In other words, they are masterless puppets.” A single look was all that was needed for Yaoyao understand the state of the battle puppets here.

Zhou Yuan gasped upon hearing this. All masterless puppets? Did this not mean that the royal clan had a chance to control them?

“There are no less than ten thousand battle puppets here!” Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened in shock. If the royal clan possessed an army of ten thousand battle puppets, their power would undoubtedly soar.

Yaoyao said, “However, you won’t be able to gain control of them in the short term. Several experts proficient in Genesis Runes will be required to personally activate them one by one. Thus, a tremendous amount of time is needed to gain control of this army.”

Zhou Yuan regretfully shook his head after hearing this. If the royal clan could swiftly gain control over this battle puppet army, sweeping away Qi Manor would be too easy.

However, he could still inform his father about this matter, letting the latter secretly send some people to take charge of this task and eventually take full control of the battle puppet army.

While the trio were conversing, they passed through the underground palace and arrived at the front of the battle puppet army where a stone platform stood. On the stone platform were three jade cases.

Zhou Yuan cautiously walked forward and carefully lifted open one of the cases.

Buzz!

A flash of light immediately escaped from the case, revealing itself to be a crystal. The crystal emitted rays of light that gathered into a screen if light before them.

On the light screen was a ten thousand mile long mountain range where an endless procession of buildings stood.

Countless battle puppets could be seen amongst the structures, while numerous figures busily shuttled around. It was clearly a scene from the time when the Battle Puppet Sect still existed. Such grandness and magnificence proved just how powerful the sect had been.

Rumble!

The scene suddenly changed. It was as if all color had faded from the world as space was torn open high up in the sky and a dazzling figure slowly flew out.

The body of this figure was suffused with sacred and holy light. His eyes were completely void of any emotion, while a vertical blood red scar was embedded between his brows.

The moment this figure appeared, a terrifying pressure seemed to descend from the sky, causing the many mountain peaks to crumble while drawing countless fear-filled gazes.

The figure indifferently looked down from high up in the sky as an emotionless voice resounded across the land.

“The prides of our Sacred race have died here. I declare this place a sinful land that shall receive holy punishment. All life within an eighty thousand mile radius shall be destroyed.”

The voice was full of destruction. As it faded, endless heavenly lightning fell from the sky causing the entire place to swiftly disintegrate.

It was a bombardment nearly akin to punishment from the heavens. The only fate for the Battle Puppet Sect was to be turned to ashes.

Heavenly lightning descended, leaving only death within an eighty thousand mile radius.

Zhou Yuan watched in horror as his heart violently shuddered. The scenes depicted were very likely what had happened many years ago in Blackwater. Was this how the numerous ancient factions of that era had been annihilated?

Why was the human figure that glowed with sacred light so terrifying? A single sentence was all it took to destroy every living creature within an eighty thousand mile radius.

Could it be? Just because a few talented geniuses of this so-called Sacred race had died here, all life had been sentenced to death in punishment?

While Zhou Yuan and Su Youwei were in shock, neither saw the icy coldness that even Yaoyao herself did not detect flit across her eyes as she stared at the glowing figure.

She suddenly reached out a head as a nine-color lotus flower jade pendant appeared within it.

Light seemed to flash across the usually dormant nine-color jade pendant at this moment.
