Chapter 835: Go Home

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Footsteps resounded through the passageway and nobody was paying any attention to the route map on the wall anymore.

Everybody was in anticipation of the things that were inside the secret chamber.

When they first discovered structures beneath the quarters, everyone thought that there would be some kind of treasure left behind by the Hao Nation. However, the evidence at this moment showed that the passageway and the chamber had been built a long time ago and were left behind when the humans retreated to this place.

Wealth and riches were nothing in comparison to the things that could have been left behind from that era.

Even if the aboriginals were very poor, even if Dayao had no money, even if… In any case, they could still steal even if they had no money!

Anyway, all three of the empress’s views had never been aligned before!

To her and even to everybody in the imperial court, plundering other nations was simply as proper as eating or drinking.

The guards held lit torches and stepped into the secret chamber, illuminating the room.

However, the secret chamber was unexpectedly large, and the light from the torches wasn’t enough to illuminate the entire place.

After passing through the chamber door, the space expanded on both sides. The chamber was about 20 meters wide with its floor completely made from white jade.

There was a white jade bridge just a few steps ahead with a pond beneath it. This pond was filled with a brown liquid that had a cold and gloomy feel to it.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and felt slightly stunned. It seemed as if they were looking at a world that they had never seen before.

Countless armor wearing humans wielded swords against all sorts of foreigners. Some of these foreigners had human heads with beast bodies and vice versa. There were also the expressionless herders, butterflies that filled the entire sky, people of the eight-armed tribe who had four or even six arms, giant-like people who were about five meters tall, and even countless beings who were neither beasts nor members of the foreign races.

All the races were being killed in this area. Apart from the human race, all other races were enemies.

Streaks from blades flashed across as heads flew everywhere. An unarmed warrior tore his opponent into two halves.

With such close quarters combat, the humans shed blood and felt indignant and unresigned as they fell to the ground.

There were sounds of shouting, blood splattering, bodies falling to the ground, weapons colliding, and even wind piercing noises. All of these could be heard simultaneously.

This assaulting desperation made everyone shudder. It was as if their chests were on fire, making them want to scream.

As a figure stood up from the ground, a red sun rose behind him that gradually stopped about ten meters above his head. Even though the distance wasn’t clear, the pressure that he radiated gave everyone no choice but to retreat. Fear started to appear on the faces of countless members of the foreign races.

The man then swung his hands down, and the red sun smashed downward.

Boom!

The entire place was engulfed in flames.

A few guards swayed as they awoke from this illusion drenched in sweat.

This was then followed by the officials from the Ministry of Works and Ren Baqian.

At the moment he woke up, he found his fists clenched and felt cold sweat on his back.

As everyone glanced at each other, they all looked surprised.

What did they see just now? Who was that person? Was he really human?

Tong Zhenye screamed all of a sudden. He took a step forward and struck out with his fist using all his might. This move whistled through the air, and it was as if he was trying to crush an enemy in front of him.

However, at the moment he struck with his fist, he suddenly woke up. He retracted his fist and stumbled a little.

Even though Tong Zhenye retracted his fist, half of the force had already launched forward. There was a sudden explosion in the air that created a loud noise as the wind blew all over.

Even the force from retracting his strike created a loud explosion in the air.

Ren Baqian looked at Tong Zhenye. Although he was an old gangster and loved to court trouble, his strength was really unbelievable.

He might not necessarily be weaker than Li Qianqiu or Xi Wanya.

Back to the thought of that explosion just now…

There were actually quite a number of people who witnessed it and whose strengths were on par with Tong Zhenye!

As for the figure who smashed down that red sun, he was truly frightening. Even looking at him from afar sent chills down their spines.

With a surprised look on his face, Tong Zhenye stabilized himself after punching the air.

The empress also had cold sweat forming on her head.

A while later, she stumbled backward and leaped behind everybody.

She then gradually regained her senses and looked around as her facial expressions continuously changed.

“What was that?” one of the officials asked. His face was deathly pale, and his voice was full of fear.

It was such a terrible battlefield. How horrifying!

This illusion that everybody saw, was it something that had happened before?

“Was that the Wan Tribe?” Tong Zhenye asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, that was the Wan Tribe!” Ren Baqian replied with his voice sounding a little hoarse.

“Step back, all of you! Minister of Works, you stay behind,” the empress ordered as she restored her expression.

When everyone heard this, they didn’t dare to stay here any longer and retreated back through the door.

At this time, she said in a deep voice, “What we saw just now was a battle that happened in the past. People have managed to record it through some means.”

“It’s the water of the Earth Yin Spring!” Ren Baqian pointed at the yellowish-brown liquid in the pool under the bridge. “I can recognize this smell with my eyes closed. It’s the water of the Earth Yin Spring.”

Both Tong Zhenye and the empress didn’t recognize a difference between smelling it with their eyes open or closed.

“The water of the Earth Yin Spring truly has a hallucinatory effect!” She nodded. “It seems that they have some way of recording it and allowed us to see it through the magical ability of the water.”

“It seems that the higher the strength of the person, the more they will see and the longer it takes for them to wake up… That man, what happened to him later? Is he the master of this place?” Ren Baqian asked a question that was burning in his heart.

“He died!” The empress remembered the scene she saw and was still rather emotional.

“He was surrounded and killed by several experts from the foreign races!”

As expected.

Only less than 100,000 humans got chased to this place, so it was expected that such an expert had died.

However, Ren Baqian still felt that it was a great pity.

Plus, it was terrifying at the same time.

Were those foreign races at that mountainside really that strong?

The might of that red sun after it smashed down… It was probably comparable to the power of a small nuclear warhead! Even though Ren Baqian couldn’t see the entire picture, he felt that the power of that strike might not necessarily be weaker than those two small warheads that he used before.

Could people be strong to this extent?

Everyone felt even more nervous after witnessing this scene just after they entered the chamber.

This jade bridge was slightly more than ten meters long. There was a square platform at the other end of the bridge, and it was also surrounded by the water of the Earth Yin Spring.

The area of the platform was about 40 square meters, and there was a thin figure sitting on it.

His face wasn’t visible, but after witnessing that scene just now, everyone naturally felt a sense of respect for him.

In any case, this person must be a martyr of the human race.

Unfortunately, there was no telling how much time had already passed. This man’s corpse would probably be the same as that of the winged snake.

In front of that figure was an open jade scroll.

That person’s withered finger was pointing at the end of the scroll.

With one glance, Ren Baqian recognized the two words that the figure was pointing at: “Go home!”
