C422 Ouyang Wei's Ambition
C422 Ouyang Wei's Ambition
Chen Long and the others who had entered the Palace were reflected on the screen. Since their positions were different, the screen was divided into four parts.
The first part was Chen Long. He had already passed the first test and was currently walking back and forth in a vast hall, as though he was looking for something.
The second part was related to Xue Yi and Ying Jixue. After defeating the Shadow Puppet, they had also passed the first test. At this moment, they were trapped within a large formation, searching for a way to break it.
The third part was the heavily injured Zhao Ling'er. She was running nonstop through the passageway with traces of blood flowing out. Ouyang Wei, on the other hand, was following at a leisurely pace.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on top of the altar. His entire body was covered in a black robe, and one couldn't see his appearance clearly. However, judging from his figure, it was obvious that he was a man.
"He's already passed the first test. Not bad!"
Looking at the scene on the altar screen, a smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly. His voice was hoarse, Chen Ning's tone was strange, as if he was a zombie that had crawled out from its grave.
However, at this moment, his expression changed and he disappeared from the altar. He reappeared below the altar and sighed. "This guy's senses are really too strong. I almost got discovered …"
Congealing Hall.
Within the palace, there was a grand hall that was extremely luxurious. Nine bronze pillars towered within the grand hall. Nine golden dragons were carved on the hall, and it was as if they were soaring into the clouds, lifelike and lifelike.
"How strange, I keep feeling like I'm being watched …"
Chen Long withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. A hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes. With his current cultivation level, this kind of feeling was definitely not groundless.
"I want to see what kind of tricks are being played here!"
A flash of coldness shone through Chen Long's eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up as he revealed a sneer. Then, he continued to explore the palace hall.
When he left the stone room, he went through a series of spatial transformations before arriving at the palace. Other than the nine bronze pillars, there was nothing else in the palace, not even an exit.
He had tried using brute force, and his spiritual energy had only understood a tiny bit of spatial energy, but it had all ended in failure.
He was trapped here!
"Since someone designed this hall, there must be a way to get out. I just haven't found a way!" Chen Long thought to himself.
"But what is it?"
Chen Long couldn't help but raise his head to once again observe this great hall. Then, his gaze focused on the nine bronze pillars, carefully sizing them up.
"Besides these nine bronze pillars, there is nothing else in this hall. This must be related to the method of escaping!"
Under Chen Long's careful observation of inch by inch, he finally found a clue. The nine bronze pillars were carved with the same golden dragon, but on each of the nine golden dragons, there was a complicated rune. If one did not look carefully, it would be treated as a pattern.
"If it was someone else, they might not even be able to recognize it!"
Chen Long's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. How could he, who possessed the Dragon Blood Grimoire, not recognize these ancient characters?
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, Yin, Yang, Yin, and Dark elements!"
Chen Long muttered to himself as he circled the nine bronze pillars again and again. Then he stopped and placed his hand on one of the bronze pillars. With a loud bang, the pillar moved!
So that's how it was!
Chen Long revealed a joyous expression. He jumped up and down on top of the pillar. Looking down, there were grooves between the pillars that allowed him to move freely.
"That's good!"
Chen Long slightly nodded his head as a green light blossomed from his hands. He slapped forward and five gigantic palms made of Spiritual Energy appeared. Each of them held onto a copper pillar tightly.
"A B belongs to the east, C Ding belongs to the south, E Ji belongs to the earth in the middle, Geng Xin belongs to the west, and Lan Gui belongs to the north."
With a light shout, Chen Long moved his palm horizontally. The five copper pillars carved with metal, wood, water, fire, and earth started rumbling as they moved. Each pillar belonged to its own position.
"Darkness in the west, sunshine in the east!"
As Chen Long condensed another four spiritual energy palms and moved the final four bronze pillars to the correct position, the nine bronze pillars slightly trembled. Nine golden lights condensed from the hall and shot toward the bronze pillars.
After the bronze pillar finished absorbing the golden light, it began to spread on the ground. From Chen Long's direction, the nine golden lights turned into a nine-pointed star formation.
In the center of the great formation, the space suddenly distorted, forming a portal that emitted a hazy white light. It was just like before, one wouldn't even know what was happening on the other side.
"It really appeared!"
Chen Longfei descended and gently landed on the ground. When he arrived at the door, he did not directly enter but instead frowned and stopped.
"Something doesn't feel right. It feels like someone is controlling this place and it follows other people's instructions. This isn't my style!"
Chen Long coldly smiled as he condensed the Spiritual Energy in his palm and reached into the door. The door seemed to be affected and was covered with a layer of green light.
"That should be enough!"
Chen Long withdrew his palm, nodded in satisfaction, and stepped inside …
In a passageway in the Palace of Gongquan.
A white figure was running with all his might, but it was getting slower and slower. The rapid and uneven breathing indicated that the person had been severely injured.
This person was none other than Zhao Ling'er.
"Miss Ling'er, don't run anymore. I have a sacred medicine in my hands that can quickly heal your injuries!"
"In your dreams!"
Hearing the mocking voice coming from behind her, Zhao Ling'er's expression darkened. She cursed, but she didn't dare to stop.
The Xuan Iron Puppet's attack was extremely powerful and heavy. Although she had barely managed to defend herself, she had still suffered heavy injuries. Fortunately, she had managed to adjust her direction in time and had fallen into the passageway in order to escape.
However, she didn't expect that Ouyang Wei hadn't followed Ren Wuwei and Shen Tianhe into the same passageway as her!
When she thought about her previous conflict with Ouyang Wei and his vicious personality, Zhao Ling'er didn't dare to stop at all. If she ended up in his hands, she was afraid that she would suffer a miserable fate.
"I say, Miss Ling'er, why are you running so fast? I'm not a ferocious beast, so I won't really eat you!"
Ouyang Wei was leisurely following behind Zhao Ling'er, constantly teasing her. The smile on his face grew wider as he watched her beautiful back.
"Ouyang Wei, don't even think about it. Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" Zhao Ling'er shouted with a frosty expression.
"Die?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't mind. Miss Ling'er, I've been in love with your pure and beautiful body for a long time. Even if I can obtain your corpse, it would be a wonderful thing!"
"Abnormal!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ling'er's face paled and she quickened her steps. This guy didn't even want to let her corpse go. He definitely couldn't let her fall into his hands!
"Miss Ling'er, when you're dead, I'll properly enjoy you. Then, I'll bring you up to the Zhao Family's gate and say … "Hmm …" We appreciate each other in the face of danger, but this young master is useless and failed to protect you. Do you think that your grandfather will believe you? " Ouyang Wei smiled sinisterly.
"…"
Zhao Ling'er didn't say anything and didn't know how to answer this extremely disgusting question. The only thing she could think of was to quickly run. Once she left, she would be safe.
As time passed, Zhao Ling'er felt her body becoming heavier and heavier. She couldn't run anymore, but she still persevered and walked forward step by step.
"Miss Ling'er, why are you doing this?" Wouldn't it be a pity if he died at such a young age? Even if you want to die, isn't it a pity that you haven't even experienced the affairs of a man and a woman before dying? " Ouyang Wei laughed loudly as he slowly followed behind Zhao Ling'er.
"Ouyang Wei, you're a dead pervert, trash, and scum. How can there be something worse than a dog like you in this world?!" Zhao Ling'er couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed loudly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter what you say. You, this young master will definitely do it!" Ouyang Wei's eyes lit up as he spoke in a firm tone.
"Scram!"
Zhao Ling'er cursed in pain. She gritted her teeth and increased her speed once again, rushing forward. However, compared to the uninjured Ouyang Wei, she was still too slow. She was simply unable to throw him off.
Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of them, illuminating the distant passageway. Then, it suddenly quieted down. This caused Zhao Ling'er to be extremely excited.
"There's a way out ahead!"
Zhao Ling'er encouraged herself in this way and supported her body as she ran forward with all her might.
Ouyang Wei didn't notice the flash of white light just now. He was still following them slowly from a short distance away, saying some vague things as if he were a cat toying with a mouse, enjoying the humiliation.
"We're here!" "We're almost there!"
Zhao Ling'er didn't know Ouyang Wei's thoughts at all. All she wanted to do was to leave this place, recuperate from her injuries, and then settle the score with this bastard.
However, when she reached the end, she discovered that there was no exit, only an ice-cold wall. In other words, this was a dead end!
"This... "How could this be …"
Zhao Ling'er's heart immediately turned into ashes. She crazily charged towards the wall and punched it again and again. The wall did not show any mercy. The powerful rebound sent her flying and her injuries worsened.
Puff!
Zhao Ling'er collapsed powerlessly into a corner after spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her entire body was curled up into a ball, and her bright big eyes were dark and full of despair.
"Yo, Miss Ling'er, what a coincidence!"
Ouyang Wei looked at the pretty figure not far away with a lewd smile on his face. He licked his lips and slowly walked over to Zhao Ling'er.
He looked down at Zhao Ling'er condescendingly and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry. I'll treat you well. I won't let you feel any pain. I'll make you endlessly happy!"
"In your dreams, go to hell!"
At this moment, Zhao Ling'er suddenly raised her head. The despair in her eyes quickly disappeared and was replaced with killing intent …
