In the underground palace, the force field radiating from the chaos stone immobilized the holy sons and saintesses. Protected by his Xuanhuang Cauldron, Ye Fan moved freely within it and gave the barely mobile Yaoguang Holy Son and Golden-Winged Little Peng King a savage beating.
Naturally, he also took the Beast-Skin Scroll resting atop the chaos stone.
Everyone believed the Beast-Skin Scroll must contain one of the Nine Secrets, but they could only watch helplessly as it fell into Ye Fan's hands.
Only Lu Chen had little interest in it. He knew the two maps marked Saint Cliff and Purple Mountain, but knowing their locations was useless when neither place could be entered.
Whoosh!
He took out a plaque engraved with the word "Hengyu." A supreme Dao resonance flowed through it. It was the plaque from Emperor Hengyu's Ancient Hall inside the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Lu Chen tentatively extended it into the chaos force field. Sure enough, it emitted a faint glow and remained unaffected by the field's restraint.
With the Hengyu plaque held overhead and its light enveloping him, he could freely enter and leave the chaos force field, much to the astonishment of everyone in the Hall of Light.
"That's... the word 'Hengyu.'"
"Could that be a plaque Emperor Hengyu once fashioned?"
When they clearly saw the inscription and the trace of supreme Dao resonance emanating from it, everyone was stunned. The Jiang Family members, in particular, stared fixedly at the plaque.
"How did you obtain that plaque?" asked the Jiang Family's bearer of the divine king body. Battle Armor covered their entire body, including their face, and their voice was neutral enough that it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
"I carried it out of the Primordial Ancient Mine!" Lu Chen said casually.
