#267 - Deep into the Black Mist Ancient City
The Void Shuttle continued its journey.
Along the way.
Su Chen and his group encountered many more undead knights, who launched fierce attacks upon meeting them, devoid of any reason, as if transformed into killing machines.
The result, needless to say, was that they were all physically saved by Su Chen.
Two quarters of an hour later, Su Chen and his group finally arrived at the center of this bizarre ancient city.
This was a magnificent palace complex, resplendent and imposing, its grandeur visible even through the obscuring black mist.
However.
The entire ancient city was submerged in black mist, and this palace complex was pitch black, adding to its eerie and bizarre atmosphere, like a ghost town.
Upon arriving here, Su Chen immediately put away the Void Shuttle and led Nan Yin, Qing Ling, and the others to conceal their auras, quietly sneaking into the palace.
“The token to enter the next heaven is in the golden palace at the very center.”
“But there is a very terrifying undead there. The kasaya might not be able to suppress his cultivation, and we might not be able to defeat him head-on.”
“Let’s search the surrounding palaces first. There are still some treasures here.”
“We'll wait for others to deal with that undead, then we'll sneak over and steal the token.”
Su Chen explained in a low voice.
“A terrifying undead that even the kasaya might not be able to suppress… Could it be a quasi-Emperor level cultivator!?”
Nan Yin's pupils contracted slightly, her heart filled with awe.
Su Chen nodded.
Upon seeing this, Nan Yin, Qing Ling, and the others were secretly shocked and subconsciously moved closer to Su Chen.
The kasaya's Equality for All domain can only suppress Saint Realm experts at most.
But a quasi-Emperor has already grasped a wisp of the embryonic form of the Emperor Realm's laws, and it is indeed possible that he could break the kasaya's domain suppression.
If that happens, Su Chen and Nan Yin together won't be able to stop him!
Qing Ling asked, “But… Young Master, how do you know that others will also come to this place?”
This inverted world is extremely vast and boundless.
Moreover, this ancient city is shrouded in bizarre black mist. Most people would avoid it, so who would dare to venture deep into it?
Even if someone did enter the ancient city, they would probably be dissuaded by those terrifying and elusive undead knights, right?
“There definitely will be.”
Su Chen was very certain of this.
“Eh? This is… a seventh-order magical treasure?”
Suddenly, Luo Qianqian revealed a look of surprise.
After opening the door of a palace, she immediately saw two bronze lamps hanging on the wall.
Within these two bronze lamps, a ghostly green flame flickered, releasing a scorching aura.
These were two high-grade seventh-order magical treasures, which could unleash surging flames once activated, incinerating everything with extreme power.
Even in a Holy Land, they would be considered quite rare treasures.
But in this palace, they seemed to be merely hung on the wall for lighting, which was truly astonishing.
“Don’t look at me. The magical treasures here are all unowned. You can take whatever you like without asking me.”
Su Chen stroked his chin, noticing that Luo Qianqian and the others were all looking at him, and he quickly said.
Luo Qianqian said, “I have enough magical treasures on me. I don’t need these two. Junior Brother Su, you should take them and bring them back to the Su family.”
“Me too.”
Zi Xuan and Xia Qiuyue also nodded.
Seeing this, Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony and took the two bronze lamps.
The group continued to delve deeper into the palace.
As palace after palace was opened, Su Chen and his group successively gained many treasures, even including two Saint-tier artifacts.
They were a golden magic sword and a cauldron for alchemy.
After discussion among Su Chen and his group, the golden magic sword was ultimately given to Zi Xuan.
She was the strongest besides Su Chen and Nan Yin, and giving her this sword would greatly enhance her strength.
After receiving the golden magic sword, Zi Xuan felt a warm current in her heart and became even more grateful to Su Chen.
As for the alchemy cauldron, none of Su Chen's group understood alchemy, so Su Chen kept it, planning to take it back to the Su family.
“There are people inside!”
As they approached a red palace, Nan Yin suddenly frowned slightly. Her powerful divine sense as a Saint Realm cultivator keenly sensed the fluctuations of life within.
She immediately gripped the Cloud Rainbow Sword and became more vigilant.
Su Chen's heart stirred, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Su Chen quietly opened the palace door and led Nan Yin and the others silently inside.
“Wahahaha—”
“It's my lucky day! This is actually an armory!”
“So many Saint-tier artifacts… *hiss hiss*! Mine, mine, all mine!”
A voice filled with excited laughter echoed from the depths of the palace.
Suddenly.
A bronze lamp emerged, its ghostly green light shining brightly, illuminating the area.
This was a spacious armory, and rows of weapon racks were completely empty, not even a hair could be seen.
A young man with a somewhat sneaky appearance was covered in magical treasures, like a walking weapon rack.
And what he was wearing was actually a fiery red women's dress, and he even had a crystal-clear feather crown and hairpins on his head, making him look extremely bizarre.
As the bronze lamp's light shone brightly, Nan Yin, Qing Ling, and the others saw this scene and all fell silent.
The young man's smile froze on his face, and he slowly turned around to look at Su Chen and his group.
“You’re so flashy.”
After a long silence, Su Chen said quietly.
“Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!!”
“I don’t like cross-dressing! Listen to my explanation—”
The young man hurriedly took off all the messy magical treasures and ornaments on his body and put them into his storage ring.
But he did not take off the fiery red dress on his body.
Nan Yin's gaze fell on the dress, her eyes narrowed, somewhat surprised.
She sensed it.
This dress was actually woven from a special metal thread and had been refined into a magical treasure, and its rank was as high as Saint-tier!
This was not just a dress, but a Saint-tier artifact!
“No wonder this guy doesn't want to take off the dress.”
Nan Yin pondered.
A Saint-tier quality dress must possess considerable defensive power.
Although the young man in front of him looked flustered, his whole body was tense, and his magic power was hidden and not released, clearly guarding against Su Chen and his group, ready to activate the Saint-tier artifact at any time.
