Chapter 1698: Chapter 1687: Furious Beyond Measure
Ye Chenfeng, who had come to his senses, suddenly clenched his fist, his whole body’s blood vessels engorged, causing his blood to boil instantly within him.
In the Initial Stage of the Ancient Era, the Dragon Clan was an extremely powerful race. In that era, the Dragon Clan was undoubtedly the most dazzling existence, with no creature daring to oppose them. One could only imagine how formidable the inheritance of the Dragon Clan must have been!
No wonder even Old Bai and Old Hei temporarily lost control of their emotions. Ye Chenfeng continuously calmed the excitement in his heart. He put the scroll back into the original golden box and then stored the entire golden box into his Qiankun Bag.
Ye Chenfeng now knew that the writing inside the scroll was likely left by the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan back then. According to the writing inside the scroll, it seemed that the Dragon Clan may not have been completely wiped out, and some bloodlines still existed.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t know if he could help the Dragon Clan escape from the so-called curse, but at the moment, obtaining the Dragon Clan’s inheritance was the most important thing for him. If he obtained the Dragon Clan’s inheritance and later encountered the remaining bloodlines of the Dragon Clan, he would try his best to help those remaining bloodlines.
Ye Chenfeng knew that the last three small phrases were definitely the key to obtaining the Dragon Clan’s inheritance.
Ascendant Pavilion!
Open the path to ascent!
Obtain the Dragon Clan inheritance!
Based on the literal meaning, the Dragon Clan inheritance was definitely related to the Ascendant Pavilion. Ye Chenfeng had already reaped the benefits of this Dragon God Temple; there was no need to linger here. As he prepared to leave the second floor, a flash of inspiration hit him. He noticed the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls and casually took one down, all of which showed nothing special.
After taking down one of the paintings, Ye Chenfeng descended from the second floor of the palace, successfully returning to the main hall.
Ye Chenfeng faintly felt energy fluctuations outside the palace; it seemed that Chen Yuanhan and others from the Wind Thunder Sect were about to break the barrier.
Ye Chenfeng still intended to return the way he came. He walked to the entrance leading downwards in the large hall, where a pillar stood beside the entrance. Ye Chenfeng hung the painting on the pillar, ensuring that once Chen Yuanhan and the others came in, they would see the entrance.
This was the second trap Ye Chenfeng set for Chen Yuanhan and the others. Knowing there was the Qilin Life-Death Array below, if Chen Yuanhan and the others barged into it, even if they didn’t die, they’d be severely injured. Moreover, in the first room on the left side of this palace, the medicinal pool had already been mixed with explosive potion by Ye Chenfeng.
After all, Chen Yuanhan and the others had painstakingly broken the barrier; Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t let them leave empty-handed. If these two traps couldn’t resolve Chen Yuanhan and the others, then Ye Chenfeng would have to take matters into his own hands.
But regardless, Chen Yuanhan and the others were geniuses from the Earth Profound Realm. Even Jiang Yutang from Sword Feather Villa had used the Blood Curse in a life-and-death situation before; it’s likely Chen Yuanhan and Shi Tianning also had secret techniques from their Sect.
After hanging the painting on the pillar beside the entrance, Ye Chenfeng walked up the staircase leading downward, with the Golden Rat Xiao Jin calmly perched on his shoulder.
Concerning the Qilin Life-Death Array in the lower hall, now that Ye Chenfeng had grasped the Qilin Profound Meaning and knew the precise path through the array, he effortlessly passed through the Qilin Life-Death Array, eventually returning to the original stone chamber.
The pool in this stone chamber was connected to a river next to the palace. Ye Chenfeng directly jumped into the pool, swimming downwards, ready to leave the palace.
And shortly after Ye Chenfeng jumped into the pool.
The blue barrier outside the palace trembled, and immediately after, the entire blue barrier collapsed instantly.
Chen Yuanhan from Wind Thunder Sect, Jiang Yutang from Sword Feather Villa, and Shi Tianning from Star Cloud Sect, all had expressions of joy on their faces. They pushed open the palace’s main door with their disciples, entering the palace smoothly.
After entering the palace, Chen Yuanhan and the others saw that there were two large rooms in the main hall, but their eyes were first drawn to a painting on a pillar, soon discovering the entrance beside the pillar.
After exchanging glances, Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning instructed their Sect’s disciples to head down first, following closely behind their disciples.
Upon reaching the lower hall, Chen Yuanhan and the others continued to follow their disciples. When they attempted to cross the hall to investigate further.
The four disciples at the front already stepped into the hall, causing the temperature around them to soar as colossal Fire Qilin phantoms suddenly appeared. Attempting to retreat, the four disciples had barely taken a step back.
When the Fire Qilin phantoms launched their attack, in just a moment, the four disciples at the front were thoroughly devoured by the phantoms.
Among these four disciples, two were from the Wind Thunder Sect, the other two from Sword Feather Villa.
Now, besides Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning, only one Star Cloud Sect disciple was left alive, who had narrowly avoided stepping into the Qilin Life-Death Array.
Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning, walking at the very back, hadn’t stepped into the array. Witnessing the immense power of the Fire Qilin phantoms left their faces extremely grim, especially Chen Yuanhan and Jiang Yutang, considering two disciples from their Sects had perished.
The anger in Chen Yuanhan and the others’ hearts couldn’t be vented; they didn’t dare to cross this hall, so they had to return inside the main hall.
Chen Yuanhan exhaled heavily, suppressing the anger in his heart. He said, "From now on, everyone be careful. Let’s go check out those two rooms."
Now, the only choice was to have the disciple from Star Cloud Sect walk ahead, and Chen Yuanhan and the other three followed behind him as they entered the first room on the left.
The room wasn’t particularly special, only a medicinal pool with a kind of bluish liquid inside. Chen Yuanhan, being a genius from Wind Thunder Sect, and given that Feng Guangshan, the old ancestor of Wind Thunder Sect, was the Poison King, thus Chen Yuanhan was fairly proficient in toxins. He didn’t sense anything strange about the medicinal pool.
Feeling the spiritual energy emerging from the medicinal pool, Chen Yuanhan speculated that this pool should be able to enhance one’s strength. He said, "This medicinal pool can enhance one’s strength."
As he spoke, Chen Yuanhan looked at the Star Cloud Sect disciple, still wanting someone else to try first.
Shi Tianning, also a genius from Star Cloud Sect, nodded toward the Star Cloud Sect disciple, and the disciple then stepped into the medicinal pool.
After soaking in the pool, the Star Cloud Sect disciple was initially anxious, but as he felt the spiritual energy continuously pouring into his body, his face immediately lit up with a smile. He said, "This medicinal pool seems fine. I feel the spiritual energy constantly flowing into my body."
This disciple from Star Cloud Sect wouldn’t know that it was merely an illusion created by Ye Chenfeng’s concoction of explosive liquid.
If soaked in the explosive liquid for a full five minutes, even a master at the Creation Realm’s Fifth Heaven Peak would burst and die.
After waiting for three minutes, seeing that the Star Cloud Sect disciple was still unaffected, Chen Yuanhan and the others finally felt reassured. Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning also immediately entered the pool, feeling the spiritual energy flowing into their bodies. Chen Yuanhan coldly sneered, "I have no outlet for the anger in my heart right now. Once I leave this palace, I will find that little bastard and vent all my anger on him."
Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning nodded in agreement.
Time ticked by, second by second.
The Star Cloud Sect disciple had already been soaking in the pool for five minutes when suddenly his face changed dramatically. He felt his body expanding limitlessly, attempting to dispel the expansion, and just as he realized he couldn’t and wanted to call for help.
Suddenly, there was a "boom!"
Before he could utter a sound, the Star Cloud Sect disciple’s body burst, and the entire pool immediately turned crimson red, with blood splattered onto Chen Yuanhan and the others, forcing the three of them to leap out of the pool amidst the abrupt change.
Shi Tianning, furious, demanded, "What the hell happened?"
Jiang Yutang, already enraged by Ye Chenfeng prior, was now completely flushed red after successive unexpected events upon entering this palace.
Chen Yuanhan’s anger was no less than Shi Tianning and Jiang Yutang’s; he said in a somber voice, "This pool is problematic! I didn’t expect it to hide such potent toxins that even I was deceived."
"Luckily we didn’t soak for too long; there should be a chance to fix it. Take this Detoxification Pill first."
Chen Yuanhan handed the Detoxification Pills to Jiang Yutang and Shi Tianning while taking one himself.
Although Chen Yuanhan and the others exited the pool early, their bodies were already invaded by the toxins of the explosive liquid.
Another five minutes passed.
Chen Yuanhan and the others felt their bodies expanding, but this time, it was within a manageable range, owing to the fact they hadn’t soaked for a full five minutes and took the Detoxification Pill.
Yet.
Suddenly, a series of "boom! boom! boom!" explosions sounded.
Though Chen Yuanhan, Jiang Yutang, and Shi Tianning narrowly escaped death, their arms and thighs erupted with bursts of blood mist.
At this point, Chen Yuanhan felt as if he had fallen into a trap, his forehead furiously pulsing as he shouted, "Could someone be setting us up?"
