Gao Chenyi dashed towards them in rage. He slapped Meng Haos face and said to them coldly, If you dare shout again, Ill cut your tongues off.

Dont worry. My holy awareness is only just able to capture them. Theyre still far away. They couldnt hear. Even if there is something wrong, my flying sword can handle it, Elder Tree said in a calm and confident tone.

Gao Chenyi eased up and said, Elder, dont kill him directly. Ill torture him! By the way, his holy awareness can also reach far away. Will he detect that were here?

Ive isolated this place with my holy awareness. This is a dead zone for him, Elder Tree said.

As for Jiang Chen, he suddenly stopped.

Whats wrong? Dorchid asked.

They already know were here.

Elder Tree had isolated the Guardian Palace so that they wouldnt be detected, but it was also a signal of danger.

This happened because Gao Chenyi and Elder Tree didnt know Jiang Chen knew they were there.

Keep walking. When I approach that generals statue and read a spell silently, Ill get the spear and shield. Ill be able to dodge the flying sword with the shield.

Jiang Chen kept walking with the others. He looked serious.

Soon, they arrived at a stone chamber. Dorchid burst into tears and started to grieve for her brothers death.

Deagles corpse was still there, not far away. His head was beside his body.

Jiang Chen felt sorry when he thought of how the princes life had ended.

He patted Dorchids back silently, as a form of comfort.

Dorchid took a deep breath. Her eyes were bloodshot and red. She strode ahead right away.

Jiang Chen didnt expect this. She had lost her self-control in anger.

In the end, they almost rushed into the Guardian Palace.

As soon as they entered, they saw the statue, Gao Chenyi, and Elder Tree.

Gao Chenyi, youll die here today! Dorchid shouted in rage.

Gao Chenyi ignored her. He stared at Jiang Chen and said arrogantly, Jiang Chen, isnt it a surprise for you that youve fallen into my hands?!

Do you see surprise on my face? Jiang Chen asked.

What do you mean? You knew I was here and came intentionally? Gao Chenyi frowned. He couldnt believe such an absurd thing.

Then he looked over to Meng Hao and Wen Xin and understood why.

How stupid! You want to rescue your friends? Who do you think you are? Gao Chenyi said.

Meng Hao and Wen Xin hadnt expected Jiang Chen to save them. They were surprised.

Elder Tree didnt say anything. The coldness in his eyes showed disdain for Jiang Chen and his companions, who were all in the Gathering Yuan Sate.

Young Master Gao!

Chu Luo suddenly ran towards Gao Chenyi with the other disciples of the Isle of Sky. She said, Be careful. Jiang Chen intends to use the spiritual weapons from this palace to deal with you!

This was an unforeseen event. Dorchid turned pale immediately. Fang Ping and the others looked at each other, planning to escape.

The plan had been exposed. Jiang Chen had lost his chance to kill Elder Tree.

Jiang Chen seemed emotionless. He kept staring at Chu Luo.

Oh? Whats going on? Gao Chenyi was intrigued. With the protection of a Mental Wander State, he wasnt worried at all.

Jiang Chen has a book that recorded everything about the imperial mausoleum. He is the only one who understands the characters in this book. He found that there was an exit in the Supreme Underground Palace, Chu Luo said.

Oh?!

Gao Chenyi and Elder Trees eyes lit up when they heard there was an exit.

Without moving, Elder Tree threw his flying sword towards Jiang Chen. It flew overhead like a shooting star and didnt stop until it was very close to Jiang Chens throat.

Give it to me, Elder Tree said.

There was something severe and forbidding about Jiang Chens face. He was reluctant to follow the elders order.

Jiang Chen, do you want him to die? Gao Chenyi put his sword to Meng Haos throat.

Jiang Chen had to throw the book over.

Elder Tree caught the book. After confirming that he didnt know any of the characters in the book, he took his flying sword back.

There were were no small number of illustrations in the book, which depicted the imperial mausoleum. Elder Tree found from these illustrations that they had already passed some of the places depicted.

So he looked over to Jiang Chen and asked, Can you understand whats written here?

Yes.

An idea occurred to Gao Chenyi. He looked at Chu Luo and said, You said he was going to deal with Elder Tree? How?

That!

Chu Luo hurried to point at the statue and said, He knew there was a stone statue here. He said it was a general holding a shield and a spear, both spiritual weapons. He intended to use the shield to resist the flying sword and the spear to kill Elder Tree.

Chu Luo, how could you be so shameless as a disciple of one of the top ten schools?! Dorchid accused her in fury. Because of Chu Luo, she had lost her chance to get revenge.

Then she said to Jiang Chen, I told you not to save her!

Jiang Chen didnt answer. No one knew whether he was regretting his decision.

There is no right or wrong. We come from different standpoints, Chu Luo said.

But I saved you twice, didnt I? Jiang Chen said.

Hum. Chu Luo surely knew what she had done was wrong, so she was unwilling to keep arguing.

Elder Tree was browsing the book. Suddenly he found an illustration of the statue that was beside him.

Oh? I did have this feeling that there was treasure here.

Elder Tree maneuvered his flying sword towards the shield.

However, when it hit the shield, the sword flew off without leaving any trace on it.

Thats not gonna work. This isnt made from stone at all. Its a seal, Jiang Chen said.

Do you know how to get these two things? Elder Tree said.

Sure. I can get them for you. Then Jiang Chen walked towards the statue.

The flying sword flew over and landed in front of him.

Elder Tree laughed, You werent even born yet when I began scheming against others. Give up. Tell me immediately how I can get the treasure.

Jiang Chens eyes were dimmed with disappointment. He had lost his last chance.

A spell. He mentioned he could get the treasure when he approached the statue and read a spell. Chu Luo told them everything she knew to impress Gao Chenyi so that he would take her with him.

Gao Chenyi was decisive. His sword scratched Meng Haos skin. He said, Whats the spell? Tell me!

Tell me in a low voice. Dont shout it out! Elder Tree said.

He thought the one reading the spell would be recognized by the treasure as its master, so he didnt want Jiang Chen to get the chance.

Jiang Chen, dont tell them. As long as you dont tell them, well all die here. Theyll lose as well, Wen Xin said.

Princess, how cruel you are! But I dont think Jiang Chen wants to see you violated. Gao Chenyi was cutting her clothes off her with his sword while speaking.

Enough! Jiang Chen shouted. He told them the spell reluctantly. The spell was in a language from the Era of the Hero.

Elder Tree had to ask him to repeat it in order to memorize it, then he went up to the statue and read the spell.

As soon as the spell was read, the statue emitted an aura. The rock on the surface disappeared and the statue recovered its original color. Fire was burning on the horses four legs.

In the end, the horse gave a loud neigh. The general came to life and injected majestic power into his spear.

Whoever dares intrude into the imperial mausoleum, die!

The general drove the spear towards Elder Tree.

At the same time, the reluctance and the anxiety disappeared from Jiang Chens face. He gave a cold smile.

Neither the spear nor the shield were treasure. Together with the statue, they were killing tools used to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Jiang Chens spell had awakened the statue to kill any enemies.

All of these events, including Chu Luos betrayal, Jiang Chen had anticipated.
