Facing the powerful Lin Yuzhu, Ye Xiu didn't dare to get angry at all. She looked at Luo Chen with eyes filled with apologies and blaming herself for her low cultivation level.
"Fellow Daoist Ye is from the Pure Yang Illusion Realm. Being familiar with King Chunyang will be helpful to us," Luo Chen said.
"Besides, if fellow Taoists hadn't led the way, we wouldn't have been able to find the Chunyang Stone Mine."
Lin Yuzhu's expression was subtle, and he understood that Luo Chen already knew some things. For example, she didn't know where the Chunyang Stone Mine was.
"Okay!" Lin Yuzhu thought for a while and finally compromised, not wanting to get entangled with Luo Chen on this issue.
But she had already thought of a countermeasure in her mind. If the plan really went bankrupt because of Ye Xiu, she would kill him without hesitation.
When that time came, King Chunyang must have discovered them. Luo Chen was dissatisfied and had no choice but to join forces with her to deal with King Chunyang, otherwise he would be dead.
Then the three of them left the place and flew towards the central palace, where King Chunyang was practicing in seclusion.
…
A moment later, Luo Chen and Lin Yuzhu stood in front of the central palace, while Ye Xiu stood behind them.
"This is right here. King Chunyang usually stays in the palace and rarely goes out." Ye Xiu looked at the palace and said.
"King Chunyang attaches great importance to privacy. Although there are many warriors in Chunyang Illusion, there are only a dozen or so who have entered the palace. They are usually the three powerful ones who have been granted lordships, and there are also a small number of half-step lords."
"So you haven't entered before?" Lin Yuzhu's tone was full of disdain.
"No!" Ye Xiu immediately shook his head. "Although I am not a feudal lord, nor even a half-step lord, when I first joined the Pure Yang Fantasy Realm, I was summoned by King Chunyang and entered once."
Luo Chen glanced at Lin Yuzhu and was very dissatisfied with the latter's attitude.
"What's going on inside?"
"On the surface, this looks like a palace, but based on my perception, it's probably not the case." Ye Xiudao.
"It should be a formation constructed with a large amount of pure Yang stones, and King Chunyang is not in the palace, but deep underground in the palace. It is very secret there, and it is all covered with formation patterns. Even the king can't break through it.
Go in, let alone enter without anyone noticing."
After hearing what Ye Xiu said, Luo Chen and Lin Yuzhu fell into silence. The matter was obviously more complicated than they thought.
Trying to reach King Chunyang silently is like reaching the sky, and it is not easy to be discovered later.
"No matter what, King Chunyang must die." Even though he knew that things were difficult, Lin Yuzhu did not waver at all.
The same goes for Luo Chen. If he hadn't entered the Chunyang Stone Mine, he might have thought about quitting, but after seeing the eight veins in the Chunyang Stone Mine, he would still have a go, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead.
Because this is not simply about killing King Chunyang, but about whether you can condense the unique transformation of swordsmanship and truly become the king.
"I agree!" Luo Chen said, and there was firmness in Lin Yuzhu's eyes. This may be the first and last time the two of them have such a unified opinion.
"There's nothing to say, let's go in!" Lin Yuzhu's eyes were always on the palace, never moving away for a moment.
"Yes!" Luo Chen nodded, strengthened the activation of the secret method of burying the nerves, covered Ye Xiu, and followed Lin Yuzhu into the palace.
After an instant, the three of them disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already standing in the palace. However, all three of them covered their auras and hid their figures so that no one could notice them.
After entering the palace, Luo Chen and Lin Yuzhu took the time to look around and learn more about the situation, and soon discovered that what Ye Xiu said was basically correct.
The palace is not a simple palace, but is made of pure Yang stone, with many mysterious runes carved on it. With just one thought, all these runes will be activated and become a murderous weapon.
In addition, there are specialized warriors guarding the palace. These warriors are uniformly dressed in dark armor, holding a palm-wide sword, and there is a ghost-headed sword hanging from their waist, which is extremely formidable.
"What are these?" Luo Chen quickly noticed the armored warrior. He glanced over and found that there was no breath, and he was no different from a dead person.
"They should be puppets, but unlike ordinary puppets, these are made by real warriors, not by mixing materials." Lin Yuzhu said.
Luo Chen didn't understand what Lin Yuzhu meant. He felt a chill on his back. He never expected King Chunyang to be so vicious.
Using the flesh and blood of a real warrior to create such a vicious puppet, he used it to guard the palace and protect himself.
"There are a total of eighteen puppets here, which means King Chunyang has killed at least eighteen people." Luo Chen's heart surged with murderous intent.
There is a certain failure rate in refining a puppet. Eighteen puppets may require eighteen warriors, or one hundred and eighty warriors, or even more.
King Chunyang's behavior is no longer despicable and villainous, but inhumane and worse than an animal.
"This Chunyang King is really capable. These puppets were all top-notch monsters in their lifetime cultivation. They are either the heirs of the overlord force or the core disciples of stronger forces. Each of them has a profound background, and he is not afraid of things.
After being exposed, he was hunted down by countless nobles." Lin Yuzhu smiled coldly, but unlike Luo Chen, he didn't take the dead warriors to heart at all.
"This Chunyang King must be killed. This kind of person must not continue to live, otherwise it will cause great harm to our clan." Luo Chen said firmly.
His original plan was to beat Lin Yuzhu when he took action, but he didn't expect King Chunyang to be so frantic and uneasy if he didn't kill the other party.
"Little dream!"
Just when Luo Chen and Lin Yuzhu were cursing King Chunyang, Ye Xiu suddenly left the two of them and came to one of the eighteen puppets.
Although this puppet is also wearing dark armor, it can be vaguely seen that it is a woman.
"No!"
Luo Chen didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Ye Xiu reaching forward as if to touch the puppet in front of him, he immediately became anxious.
These puppets have no humanity at all and they will definitely obey the orders of their refiner, King Chunyang. If they rashly disturb them, they may trigger a war in advance.
Whoosh!
Luo Chen was very fast and stopped Ye Xiu before his hand touched the puppet.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I understand how you feel, but this is the palace of King Chunyang, and the other party is not far away. If you do this, you will only lose your life in vain." Luo Chen said through the message.
Ye Xiu had tears in her eyes and could only hold back her grief.
"I originally thought that Xiaomeng died in the hands of a foreign lord, but I didn't expect that he was tricked and killed by King Chunyang, and was even made into a puppet."
Luo Chen couldn't help but remain silent, he could feel the feelings between Ye Xiu and the puppet named 'Xiao Meng' in front of him.
"People cannot be resurrected after death. Besides, this is the way of cultivation. Those who are capable will advance and those who are weak will die." Lin Yuzhu came to the edge and said coldly.
