The blond, curly-haired master, Andy, remained fearless and spoke eloquently.
"Yes, time is running out. We've already come this far, it wouldn't be worth turning back now. Let's all keep going, we'll get that item soon."
"We'll go first, you just need to protect us from behind."
The bald-headed sorcerer and the wrinkled, baby-faced sorcerer spoke as they strode forward.
The others had no choice but to follow behind.
If they back out now, this adventure will have been in vain. Moreover, if any of the three priests are injured or killed as a result, they will face interrogation or even being hunted down by the Holy Church.
In the blink of an eye, they had advanced another kilometer or so.
In the distance, the former main hall of Emperor of Anzhi palace, can already be seen.
"See, I told you there was no danger..." The blond, curly-haired priest in the lead smiled and urged without turning his head, "Hurry up, we'll be there soon..."
Before they could finish speaking, a flash of dark black light appeared behind them, followed by several uncontrollable exclamations. Everyone immediately became alert and scattered in all directions. After regaining their composure, they looked again and discovered that four of their companions were missing, their whereabouts unknown.
"What happened? Where did Kester and the others go? What happened?" someone whispered angrily.
"That was just now..." The shrewd middle-aged man frowned, pondering for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, "It seems to be some kind of Teleport magic circle. Kester and the other three were Teleport... Damn it, how could this happen? That power was clearly necromantic power, how could there be Undead Magic circle?"
Twelve people entered, and within twenty minutes, five were missing. These five were all powerful figures who dominated their respective regions. This bizarre turn of events filled the air with an atmosphere of terror.
far away.
Sun Fei followed at a leisurely pace.
He had also seen that dark, black light just now; it was definitely an extremely strange Teleport magic device. Even a powerful expert at the Great Sun-Rank Venerable would find it difficult to escape if caught in it, and would not know where they were Teleport to.
It seems that the secrets hidden within this imperial palace are more complex than imagined.
Sun Fei saw that the remaining seven people in the distance seemed to be arguing, and after a while, the thin and shrewd middle-aged man turned and left with a companion who was 1.9 meters tall, and did not go any further. The remaining seven people, centered around the three Divine Masters, continued to fly quickly towards the main hall of the Imperial Palace in the distance with vigilant expressions.
Sun Fei paused for a moment, but still chose to follow the Divine Master and his group.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way, which put the group of seven, including the divine master, at ease.
They soon arrived at the foot of the main hall of the imperial palace.
With less than an hour left before Sun, the group barely lingered at the entrance of the main hall, quickly passing through the corridors and steps, and entering the hall, which resembled the gaping maw of a gigantic, Dread Beast, disappearing into the thick darkness.
The light in the main hall suddenly dimmed.
A pungent stench filled the air, and black bloodstains were everywhere on the smooth silver floor, even splattered on the stone pillars and walls. However, the bloodstains had long since dried, resembling a series of black abstract paintings, or perhaps wide-open eyes staring at everything in the hall, filling the air with a silent and terrifying atmosphere.
"According to the information we have, the item should be hidden in a secret box beneath the throne in the main hall." Andy, the short-haired, golden-haired priest, showed a relieved expression. He looked around, pointed to the depths of the hall, and exclaimed with delight, "Where is it?"
Deep within the temple, a magnificent throne, radiant with light and color, stands silently atop a nine-tiered stone base, exuding an aura of supreme imperial grandeur that captivates the soul.
The exquisitely crafted architectural layout evokes images of Emperor of Anzhi Suleiman Klimov of Anzhi, majestically seated on his throne, overlooking his countless subjects—a truly imposing sight.
Unfortunately, the entire Anzhi Empire has now been completely destroyed and become history.
Imperial ambitions and grand schemes come to naught; life is but a fleeting dream.
"I'll go get it." The only female among the seven, dressed in a tight red outfit with a voluptuous figure, was exceptionally agile due to her Wind-Element Dou Qi cultivation. In a flash, she arrived beneath the seven-colored glazed throne, inspected it, and found a cleverly hidden mechanism on the armrest. She gently pressed it down.
Boom!
Sudden mutation
Ang, who was expected to be beneath the throne, did not appear.
Suddenly, the hall went dark and flickered. Then, thick, jet-black beams of light shot out from the ground, forming a tightly sealed prison of less than three or four square meters. This prison imprisoned all the powerful figures in the hall except for the three Divine Masters.
Before anyone could react, the prison of light erupted with the roars of Dread Beast. Endless black mist billowed from the pillars of light, releasing a devilish aura and possessing terrifying corrosive power. It surged towards the two powerful figures imprisoned within. These two Great Sun-Rank Venerable Initial Stage couldn't withstand it for even a moment. Their Dou Qi auras flickered briefly before they were completely engulfed by the black mist, followed by heart-wrenching screams and screams.
"What's going on?" The female powerhouse in the red bodysuit was taken aback and hurriedly pressed the mechanism again, but there was no response.
She flashed back to the three divine masters.
This is an instinctive reaction; when facing the evil power of the undead, only the presence of a priest from the Holy Church is a relatively safe place.
"Quickly save them both!" the powerful woman in red roared in shock and rage.
However, the three divine masters did not react at all; they neither fled nor offered any assistance.
She looked at the three divine masters with a puzzled expression.
But what I saw were three faces with eerie smiles.
"Haha, hahaha, haha, why save them?" The blonde, curly-haired divine master laughed loudly, his harmless smile turning into a ferocious one. The other two divine masters did the same, looking at the red-clad female powerhouse as if they were prey that had fallen into a trap.
"You..." The powerful woman in red understood something. In a flash, she transformed into a wisp of wind and flew towards the entrance of the main hall as fast as lightning, trying to escape immediately.
Unfortunately, a towering figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.
boom
The figure unleashed a powerful punch, shrouded in a dark, necromantic Aura. The move was exquisitely executed, completely blocking all possible routes, forcing the red-clad female warrior to fight head-on. She was sent flying backward by the punch.
"How could it be?" The red-clad female powerhouse landed on the ground and saw the face of the person blocking her way. She exclaimed in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
Fifth update.
