One thousand seven hundred and eighty-four who has such courage?

A moment later, under Yuan Dayou's shocked and angry gaze, the fourth elder of Murong City's Imperial Palace turned into a humanoid ice sculpture, which saved him from the pain of a broken leg.
Yun Xiao would not have the slightest pity for the fourth elder of the Imperial Palace who dared to take action against him. He was seeking death on his own, and he had no one else to blame.
At that moment, Yun Xiao took away Yuan Dayou's hand, and then shook out the demon elixir of the black bear vein demon, and then floated away, leaving only a bear corpse and a crystal humanoid ice sculpture, indicating the scene just now.
The battle did not last long.
At the same time, various battles were taking place everywhere within the mountains, including battles between humans and demons, and battles between rival cultivators.
However, most cultivators are heading towards the location of the previous energy fluctuation. It seems that as long as they get there, even if they cannot find the real entrance to Murong's tomb, they can at least get some clues.
For those cultivators who died in their own battles, no one would care at all. It is said that people die for money. If you want to get treasures, you must have the consciousness to sacrifice your life.
What's more, what everyone is looking for this time is Murong's tomb, which even Empress Canglong is interested in. How many people died will match his identity. Otherwise, how can it be called an adventure treasure hunt?
…………
Deep in Rongshan Mountain, on the edge of a large lake that can be seen, there are shadowy figures standing. Among them, Tan Qigong, the director of the Imperial Palace, stood at the front, his eyes flickering, sizing up the large lake in front of him.
Speaking of this big lake, it is a bit like the Yanji Lake that Yunxiao saw in Tenglong Continent, but the two seem to be completely incomparable. Whether it is the aura emanating from it or the area, the big lake in front of him is more
tyrannical.
"It turns out that the location of the energy fluctuation is this 'Yingrong Lake'!"
On the shore of the lake on the other side, an old man spoke in a low voice. If anyone knew him, they would find that he was Murong Sou of the Murong family, a powerful Saint-level man.
However, among the many cultivators on the shore of Yingrong Lake at this moment, none of them recognized the details of Murong Sou, nor did they know that a powerful saint-level man had appeared in Rongshan Mountain.
"I'm afraid the bottom of Yingrong Lake has been searched over the past few decades. Is the entrance to Murong's Tomb really at the bottom of the lake?"
There was a glimmer in Murong Sou's eyes. Even though he was a super strong man of the Murong family back then, he was not the clan leader, so he had no idea where the entrance to Murong's tomb was.
Moreover, Murong Sou also knew that Murong's tomb was famous. Since the Murong family had been destroyed, there would probably be countless people who wanted to come here to hunt for treasures, even the Canglong Imperial Palace would not be an exception.
In this case, the mountains around Murong City must have been turned upside down, and the special Yingrong Lake will certainly not be spared.
Thinking back to the time when Yun Xiao found the Wuyan Water Palace in the Wuyan Palace ancestral land, it was at the bottom of Yanji Lake. It was not impossible that the entrance to Murong's Tomb was hidden at the bottom of Yingrong Lake.
However, countless years of searching have shown that there is no entrance to Murong's tomb except for fish and shrimps in the mud at the bottom of Yingrong Lake. Many cultivators who wanted to sneak into the bottom of the lake to search for it ended up in vain.
"No matter what, since the energy fluctuations erupted from Yingrong Lake, you have to go down and take a look!"
Although he knew that there might not be an entrance to Murong's tomb at the bottom of Yingrong Lake, Murong Sou still decided to go to the bottom of the lake to explore because of the unusual movements a few days ago, at least that way he could feel at ease.
Phew!
Just when Murong Sou decided to go into the lake to explore, the sound of water breaking suddenly came, and then a figure had already dived into the water and quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, Murong Sou didn't dare to neglect, so he jumped up and plunged into Yingrong Lake. However, as soon as he entered the water, he sensed a strange force coming towards him, which made his heart tremble.
.
"Is this... toxin?"
Based on Murong Sou's knowledge, even if he was not a pulse refiner, he could instantly sense what was coming towards him. It was obviously a powerful poison.
However, this kind of poison did not have much impact on Murong Sou, who was a high-level saint-level person. However, the other cultivators who were only in the third level of the heaven-level were in tragedy the moment they entered the lake.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The people on the shore above were not aware of the strange situation in the lake, and were still plunging into Yingrong Lake. However, the early stage cultivator of Tongtian Realm who was the first to enter the lake had his limbs twitching and his face was dark.
One piece.
"I'll go down and have a look too!"
On the shore of the lake, Tan Qigong, the director of the imperial palace, stared at the lake for a long time, and finally made up his mind and decided to go into the water to find out. He was a skilled and brave man, and he was not afraid of any dangers under the lake.
Whoosh!
Just when Tan Qigong was about to make a move, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind in his ears. When he turned around and looked, he saw that it was Ruan Buwei, the great elder of the Imperial Palace.
"Sir, something happened!"
When Tan Qigong turned his eyes, Ruan Buwei's face also became a little ugly. After hearing his words, he spread out his right hand. On the palm of his hand, there were several broken soul cards.
"This is... the soul card of Fourth Elder Yuan Dayou?!"
When Tan Qigong saw the word "Yuan" on a certain soul tablet fragment, he suddenly felt enlightened. Combined with what Ruan Buwei said before, he already had some guesses.
"Exactly, the fourth elder of our Imperial Palace was killed!"
There was a hint of disbelief in Ruan Buwei's eyes, as well as a hint of anger that could not be concealed. He thought that in so many years, such a thing as the elder of the Imperial Palace had never been killed.
"Who on earth has the courage to kill people from my imperial palace?"
Tan Qigong's mood was not much better. In the decades since he had been in charge of the Murong City Imperial Palace, only one elder had made a mistake and was eventually killed by him with one palm. The other elders all followed him.
He has been a veteran for a very long time.
Especially the dead Yuan Dayou. Although his cultivation was only at the late stage of Tongtian Realm, Tan Qigong had always valued his strong physical strength. However, he did not expect that he was killed inexplicably in Rongshan.
How can you not be angry?
"Lord Suo Si, someone is provoking the majesty of our imperial palace. This matter must be investigated strictly!"
Ruan Buwei's voice was a bit hateful, and the words that came out of his mouth made Tan Qigong slowly nod his head, secretly thinking that if this matter was not resolved, it would definitely be a huge blow to the majesty of the Imperial Palace.
What's more, now is the time when the Canglong Imperial Palace has issued an order, asking the imperial palaces in major cities to step up their actions, integrate many family sects, and all obey the orders of the Canglong Imperial Palace.
Under such circumstances, such a bad thing happened. Tan Qigong could imagine that if this matter was reported back to the imperial palace, he would probably be severely reprimanded.
"The investigation must be carried out, but there are more important things at the moment, so we can only put this matter aside for now!"
After turning these thoughts in his mind, Tan Qigong turned his attention back to the front of Yingrong Lake. Compared with avenging Yuan Dayou, finding the entrance to Murong's tomb was the most important thing.
If he could really find the entrance to Murong's tomb, enter it, and get the treasures inside, even if all the elders in the imperial palace died, Tan Qigong wouldn't feel any pain at all.
That was what Empress Canglong was interested in. For the sake of his own future, Tan Qigong at this moment undoubtedly gave up on revenge for Yuan Dayou, and even made plans to sacrifice everyone in the imperial palace.
If De Ruan Buwei and the others knew Tan Qigong's thoughts, I don't know what kind of mood they would feel. It's a pity that at this moment, they have never thought about the cruelty of Master Suo Si.
"Huh? What is that?"
Just when Tan Qigong took a deep breath and was about to enter Yingrong Lake, Ruan Buwei on the side suddenly exclaimed, which made his face darken. He secretly thought that this great elder was acting so inappropriately today.
What about stability?
"Um?"
But at the next moment, without Ruan Buwei reminding him again, Tan Qigong had already discovered that something was wrong in Yingrong Lake, because a figure suddenly appeared from under the lake, and it looked a bit strange.
"That person... was poisoned?"
Tan Qigong was a strong man at the half-step Saint level. His eyesight was so powerful that he could see clearly in an instant that the man's face was completely black and foam was forming at the corners of his mouth. At first glance, it was not a normal death.
What's more, these powerful men who have reached the realm of heaven can already hold up the pulse shield to ensure that they will not suffocate to death underwater. It is obvious that the person was not drowned.
Bo! Bo! Bo!
Just when Tan Qigong and Ruan Buwei looked shocked and confused, some strange and silent figures suddenly appeared in the water of Yingrong Lake where only the cultivators on the shore had jumped down.
The figures that emerged from the lake were all, without exception, with dark faces and foaming at the mouth. Many people in the audience had already seen what this situation meant.
"No, this lake is poisonous!"
When a loud shout came out, everyone in the field suddenly froze, especially some of the cultivators who had already flown into the air and were about to dive into the lake, their faces turned pale with horror.
There were even some cultivators whose feet touched the water, and they were like swallows rushing to the water. They took off their shoes in a hurry, for fear of being contaminated by the poison in the Yingrong Lake.
"Now we're in trouble!"
Looking at the dark corpses that were still emerging from the lake, many people showed fear on their faces, because they had already recognized that those people were the cultivators who had entered the lake before.
There are even some friends who are close friends who are cultivators, and they know very well that those people's cultivation level is about the same as their own, and some may be even stronger.
Even people like this can't resist the poison in the lake. If they enter rashly again, I'm afraid they will end up like those pitch-black corpses, with no chance of survival.
