“Your Majesty, please calm yourself. The Imperial Mausoleum has been built for a thousand years without incident; it certainly won't collapse now. It just seems that... something is wrong inside.”
While comforting Emperor Jiawen, Elder Ye released a strand of primal force to probe the interior.
Looking at the road that had been completely blocked before him, Emperor Jiawen was still filled with lingering fear.
If that stone had fallen on him just now...
“B-but the road at the edge has already begun to collapse! I fear it won't be long before the inside is affected as well!” At the thought of the Imperial Mausoleum running into trouble at a time like this, Emperor Jiawen felt a wave of a headache.
If news of this leaked out, how could he save face! How could he face his ancestors!
Elder Ye shook his head.
“Your Majesty, there is a reason the Imperial Mausoleum was built beneath Sijin Peak. Please step back for a moment; this old man will clear a path here.”
Knowing that Elder Ye was the only one he could trust at this moment, Emperor Jiawen obediently retreated to the rear.
Elder Ye stared at the giant boulder ahead, his brows furrowed tightly.
What he was worried about was not the collapse of the mausoleum, but rather the fact that the two people who had gone in earlier actually possessed the ability to shake the Imperial Mausoleum!
Connecting this to the glowing disc atop the mountain peak...
It was crystal clear what the opponent was after!
He held his breath, concentrating his focus as primal force gathered in his palm!
Then, he unleashed a powerful palm strike!
*Bang!*
A crack suddenly split open at the center of the stone!
Emperor Jiawen felt a surge of joy.
As long as they could break through this stone, they would still have a chance to go in and stop them!
“If I ever find out who those two are, I will certainly not let them off easily!”
With a solemn expression, Elder Ye sent out another palm strike!
*Bang!*
*Crack!*
A white light suddenly emanated from one end of the stone!
“It’s broken through!” Emperor Jiawen said excitedly, clenching his fists.
Elder Ye also felt a slight sense of relief.
This was, after all, only the periphery of the Imperial Mausoleum; it was easier to deal with than he had imagined.
However, just as he intended to press his advantage and fully open the passage, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and his expression shifted violently!
“Get back!”
He shouted fiercely while grabbing Emperor Jiawen by the collar, retreating rapidly!
Caught off guard, Emperor Jiawen felt a tightness in his throat as he was dragged backward by Elder Ye.
His face turned flushed, and he began to cough violently.
“Ye—cough—Ye—”
He struggled to utter a few syllables, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened!
Within the crack at the center of the stone, golden sand suddenly began to pour out!
That golden sand rapidly condensed, actually forming a thin crystalline layer that covered the stone!
Because of this, the stone appeared to be shimmering with golden light, but as Emperor Jiawen watched, a deep sense of dread rose in his heart!
Because he could clearly feel the powerful pressure contained within that golden crystalline layer!
Suddenly, a piece of debris fell from it and hit the ground.
*Crackle!*
With a crisp sound, that piece of debris was completely reduced to fine powder!
Emperor Jiawen’s heart trembled violently!
As expected!
Once touched by that golden crystal, that was the end!
However, they were fast, but the golden sand was spreading even faster!
Seeing that it was about to catch up to the two of them!
Elder Ye swung his sleeve, and a massive black shield appeared to block the path in front of them!
The surging speed of the golden sand finally slowed down.
Only then did Elder Ye and the Emperor have a moment to catch their breath.
The terror in Emperor Jiawen's eyes had not yet faded.
“That is... that is sand from the 'Metal' direction! Not only did they break through that checkpoint, but they also destroyed that entire space!?”
Elder Ye’s gaze was heavy.
“It will be difficult to enter now...”
***
Meanwhile, the culprit, Chu Liuyue, had no idea what was happening on this side.
When she had broken through that space earlier, it hadn't been quite that serious.
But just now, when she had seized the silver pyramid, she had effortlessly destroyed the Five Elements layout of the entire Imperial Mausoleum.
The space in the "Metal" direction, deprived of any supporting power, had naturally lost all control.
The golden sand inside poured out in all directions, directly blocking the path of Elder Ye and Emperor Jiawen.
If she were to look down now, she would be able to see the clues.
Unfortunately, she had no leisure for that at the moment.
Because all of her attention was focused on the mysterious man who refused to come out.
After she had asked that one question, the other party had fallen into silence.
Chu Liuyue became increasingly certain of her suspicion.
She could never have imagined that the Great Chief of the Treasure Pavilion, whom she had been trying to meet for so long, would actually appear here!
And, he was also after this thing!
Chu Liuyue suddenly felt that this was going to be difficult.
The Treasure Pavilion had helped her many times. Although this Great Chief had never shown his face before, Chu Liuyue knew that the reason Pavilion Master Yan helped her so much must have been with this man's tacit approval.
Not to mention, he had just helped her once.
She truly owed this man a massive favor.
But if she were to just hand over the pyramid like this, she would be unwilling.
She had fought her way through countless obstacles and faced many dangers for this thing; how could she just hand it over because of a single sentence from him?
“It really seems to be you.”
Chu Liuyue spoke deliberately, her tone much more polite.
“Since you are here, you must know my identity. I am deeply grateful for your many instances of care in the past. However, regarding this item, please forgive me, but I truly cannot yield it. Aside from this, you may propose any condition, and I will go through fire and water to fulfill it without hesitation!”
This time, the other party finally spoke.
“My only condition is this thing.”
His tone was calm, yet carried an irresistible pressure.
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth helplessly.
“Great Chief, how about we negotiate? Let's get out of here first, then find a place to discuss this properly, alright? You said before that this is something your wife has her eye on... so, why don't I speak with your honorable lady in person?”
She had been hanging here for quite a while; if they negotiated like this, it would be far too unfair to her!
At the very least, find a place where we can talk properly!?
Can't that Great Chief see that this entire lake is about to freeze completely!?
The other party fell into another strange silence.
*Crack!*
At that moment, the wall suddenly loosened, and the dagger wobbled!
Chu Liuyue looked up and saw that cracks had already appeared on the wall surrounding the dagger!
—She likely wouldn't be able to hold on much longer!
But this Great Chief was so difficult to deal with, she didn't know what was wrong with him!
As if hearing the commotion, the man finally showed mercy and spoke
“You said... you want to speak with my wife in person?”
Whether it was an illusion or not, Chu Liuyue felt that his tone was very strange.
It almost sounded as if he were smiling?!
What was so funny about this!
Chu Liuyue thought indignantly: Once she met this rumored wife, she would definitely take a very close look to see exactly what kind of woman she was—always setting her sights on this or that!
Truly troublesome!
