Chapter 1297 1208: So Many Positions
Seeing the carriage stop before a lavish palace, the four of them, Fang Jinchun, all nervously leaned against the carriage window, peering outside through the window.
The palace in front not only seemed imposing but also had stringent defenses, inside and outside the palace, everywhere were Demon Cultivators patrolling back and forth, every corner of the palace vaguely had fluctuations of an array.
Everything here constantly displayed the tight security of this palace.
Fang Jinchun, Beiming Xue, Hu Wei, and Ma Jun became tense, wanting to attack and seriously wound a strong figure in such a fortified palace was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However, the four knew it was difficult but they were all resolutely determined to die if necessary.
Because by now, all four, Fang Jinchun included, guessed in their hearts that the person who had captured them must be Wang Yan's enemy.
Although Beiming Xue and the four also speculated that the palace's owner might be Wang Yan.
But the four quickly dismissed this guess because the three leading Soldier Terracotta Warriors were too powerful, even comparable to the Elders of Mozi Academy.
With Wang Yan's cultivation level, how could he possibly command these Soldier Terracotta Warriors?
Moreover, this palace in front clearly looked like it had been constructed for a long time, Wang Yan had only been in this Underworld for a few months, how could he achieve such feats?
The four were already convinced that the one who captured them must be Wang Yan's enemy, perhaps Wang Yan was also captured by this person.
Hence, Beiming Xue and the four decided to be ruthless when meeting this so-called master, with no mercy.
An ambush not only for themselves but also to rescue Wang Yan.
But someone with such powerful subordinates, how could they possibly be defeated by just these four?
Therefore, as they got closer to the palace, the more apprehensive Beiming Xue and the four became.
Life and death, success or failure, hinged on this moment.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, the door opened.
Fang Jinchun and the four got off the carriage and saw the palace gates wide open, behind them was a lengthy corridor.
A Soldier Terracotta Warrior raised a hand to point at the corridor, signaling Fang Jinchun and the four to go in.
The four took a deep breath and stepped into the palace gates.
The palace doors slowly closed, and those three powerful Soldier Terracotta Warriors did not follow them inside.
Seeing this, Fang Jinchun and the four rejoiced in their hearts.
Without those three powerful Soldier Terracotta Warriors, their success rate in assassinating the "master" would be higher.
Passing through the dark and serene corridor of the palace, at the end of the corridor, a golden door was ajar.
Fang Jinchun and the four reached the center of the doors, peeking through the slightly open crack, they could faintly see a figure seated inside the palace, this must be the "master."
Fang Jinchun and the four had never been so tense before, they exchanged a glance, took a long breath simultaneously.
Then, their figures suddenly moved, simultaneously rushing towards the palace doors.
Before reaching the palace doors, Ma Jun's figure split into two, one pushed open the palace gates, the other in the instant the doors opened, charged towards the person inside, raising his short sword, letting it fly, aiming at the person.
Hu Wei stood at the door, already holding three large mushroom-like grenades, and at this time, his hands threw them continuously into the palace.
The sound of "boom boom" instantly resounded the sky.
Amidst the smoke wafting, Beiming Xue raised both hands, sending ice cones flying into the palace.
During the three's attack, Fang Jinchun had summoned his giant scorpion mount.
The giant scorpion plunged into the smoke, its tail raised, poison needles turned into "whizz whizz," piercing into the smoke.
Simultaneously, Fang Jinchun spread his hands, a long bow appeared in his hands, the bowstring sounded, and it became a lightning-like long arrow shooting out.
It was evident that in a blink of an eye, the four unleashed their strongest attack, especially the attack came without any sign, if the palace's "master" was not prepared, even if extremely powerful, they'd be injured by the attack.
After this round of attack was launched, the four instantly focused and stopped, staring into the smoke, preparing for a second round of attack.
Should the "master" be injured but not dead and escapes from the smoke, the four would not hesitate to launch a second round of attack.
But, at this moment, the sound of "thud thud" rang out, and the four's hearts tightened because these sounds were the sounds of arrows, poison needles, ice cones hitting the ground.
"The attacks all missed!" Fang Jinchun and the four immediately furrowed their brows tightly, hurriedly looking into the smoke.
But the smoke was too dense now, nothing was visible.
The smoke that had just shrouded their movements had now become their obstacle.
"Not good, that person is not in the smoke, everyone be careful." As the smoke slowly dispersed, Fang Jinchun immediately saw there was no one in the smoke.
Ma Jun and the other three's hearts tightened, quickly turning their heads to look around.
At this moment, suddenly a shadow flickered, standing behind Beiming Xue, this shadow wrapped its arms around Beiming Xue from behind.
"Sister-in-law, watch out." Ma Jun saw the shadow at once, urgently shouted, the two figures simultaneously pounced towards Beiming Xue, attacking the shadow.
However, Ma Jun's speed was fast, but the "master's" speed was even faster.
I saw his hands wrap around Beiming Xue's slender waist. With a quick motion, as Ma Jun had just taken a few steps, he had already whisked Beiming Xue tens of meters away.
Ma Jun hurried to catch up, but in the blink of an eye, that person and Beiming Xue were already in the corner of the palace.
Seeing this, Fang Jinchun and the others felt their hearts sink.
It's rare to see someone who can outrun Ma Jun; this "master" is even more powerful than they imagined.
Realizing they couldn't kill this person and that Beiming Xue was in his hands, they feared for her innocence. It was truly a case of losing the bride and the army.
Fang Jinchun and the others were in panic mode, charging toward that person with all their might, but their hearts had sunk to the bottom.
Beiming Xue suddenly felt two powerful arms embracing her. As she was swiftly pulled into the palace corner, the strong arms pressed tightly against her chest, almost making her breathless.
"I'll kill you!"
The sensitivity at her chest made Beiming Xue both embarrassed and anxious, summoning strength from nowhere, she twisted her body suddenly, and managed to break free from those strong arms, turning around instantly.
She swung back her hand, stabbing the Ice Blade towards the "master" behind her.
But at that moment, Beiming Xue heard a chiding voice from behind, "Are you trying to murder your own husband?"
"Damn husband!" Beiming Xue cursed loudly without a second thought.
As soon as she spoke, she was startled.
Because the voice was too familiar, wasn't it her long-missed, dream-haunted brother Wang Yan?
Beiming Xue quickly looked up and saw that the person holding her had a stern face, deep eyes, and a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
"Brother Wang Yan!" Beiming Xue blurted out, almost not daring to believe her eyes, feeling excited like a deer in headlights.
"Big Boss."
"Big Brother."
The previously desperate Fang Jinchun and the others also widened their eyes and shouted in surprise and joy.
The "master" before them was Wang Yan.
With a wry smile, Wang Yan said to everyone, "You're all way too alert. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I might have died at my own brothers' hands."
Hearing this, Fang Jinchun and the others blushed.
Beiming Xue's face also turned red with embarrassment, remembering Wang Yan's "murdering my own husband" remark, feeling a sweetness in her heart, she said, "Who asked Brother Wang Yan to be so amazing?"
"Am I really amazing? Xue'er, then could you perhaps put down the Ice Cone first?" Wang Yan grinned.
At these words, Beiming Xue realized that she was still tightly gripping the Ice Cone, which was now embedded in Wang Yan's shoulder.
Beiming Xue hastily removed the Ice Cone, throwing it to the ground, and looked at Wang Yan's shoulder.
Fortunately, apart from the hole in his clothing, Wang Yan was completely unharmed.
At this moment, Fang Jinchun and the others gathered around, asking away.
"Big Brother, is this palace yours?"
"Who were those three elders?"
"What have you been up to in these months?"
...
Wang Yan invited them to sit down and recounted in detail what had happened over the months.
Immediately, Beiming Xue and the others listened with bated breath, their minds wandering.
When they heard Wang Yan had broken through to Demon Venerable, they were both shocked and elated. Upon hearing he had defeated the Three Great Demon Venerable and turned them into Soldier Terracotta Warriors, they clapped and laughed heartily, shouting in excitement.
For a while, the palace was filled with the sounds of clapping and laughter.
Three days later.
Fang Jinchun and the others were dumbfounded as they gazed at the mountain of Magical Treasure before them, staring blankly at Wang Yan.
"Big Boss, did you say all these Magical Treasures from Qinrong Palace are here?" Hu Wei stammered.
Wang Yan laughed, "This is just a part of it. These are all for you to share."
"For the four of us to share this much?" Ma Jun gulped.
"No, just the three of you. I have other Magical Treasures specifically for Xue'er."
With that, Wang Yan took Beiming Xue's hand and walked outside the palace.
Initially, Fang Jinchun and the others didn't know what to do faced with such a heap of treasures, but when they heard that Wang Yan had prepared something special for Beiming Xue, they stopped hesitating.
Meanwhile, while the three were eagerly grabbing treasures, from outside came Beiming Xue's shy question, "Brother Wang Yan, what treasure is it?"
"This is quite a treasure, with many positions on it."
