Chapter 374: The Start of the Suppression
The pitch-black door slowly opened, and Lin Qiye entered with Jialan on his back. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw three figures sneaking along the wall, completely still.
Upon seeing Lin Qiye, the three of them showed a hint of joy on their faces, but when they noticed the girl on Lin Qiye’s back, their smiles suddenly froze…
The three exchanged glances, their expressions turning strange.
An Qingyu: (???.???)?? Hmm? There’s a woman on Qiye’s back?
Cao Yuan: (#｀皿′) What? There’s actually a woman on Qiye’s back?
Baili Pangpang: ｜д?′)!! What? Qiye’s chastity is at risk?!
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow upon seeing them. What are you all doing…
Shh!!
Baili Pangpang extended two fingers and made a silencing gesture towards Lin Qiye, then pointed at the center of the imperial palace.
Lin Qiye was taken aback and turned to look, only to see a primitive black divine throne quietly floating in the dim hall.
On that throne sat a humanoid figure, motionless, yet exuding a heart-pounding pressure!
That is… Lin Qiye stared blankly at the figure on the throne, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped closer to where Baili Pangpang and the others were.
Qiye, you… why are you carrying a woman? Baili Pangpang, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, lowered his voice to ask as Lin Qiye approached.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and replied, I found her in a palace.
Found her? Baili Pangpang looked at Jialan suspiciously. You just found her and carried her?
Yeah.
……
Finding a beautiful woman like this is indeed quite common in novels and TV shows… but this shouldn’t concern you! Baili Pangpang scratched his head, looking as if his worldview had been shaken.
Aren’t you supposed to be a repellent to the opposite sex? Besides attracting men, you actually attract women too?
Lin Qiye:……
Lin Qiye silently placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
The last time he thought about killing Baili Pangpang was back in the training camp when this guy shamelessly wanted him to smell his feet…
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, suppressing the surging killing intent in his heart, and slowly spoke:
So, what exactly are you all doing pressed against this wall?
Cao Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the floating throne in the center of the hall. After entering, we realized there was actually someone on that throne… Although they didn’t attack us, we also didn’t dare to move recklessly; it feels a bit eerie here.
Lin Qiye glanced at the figure in mid-air and shook his head.
I used my mental power to probe; that’s not a person, it’s just a piece of clothing.
Hearing this, the other three were taken aback. Clothing?
Lin Qiye softly chanted, and a small flame appeared in his palm. He gently waved his hand, tossing the flame into the air, illuminating the dark hall.
Under the firelight, the figure on the throne finally revealed its true form: it was a large black imperial robe, intricately embroidered with golden threads, mysterious and filled with a sense of divinity.
At this moment, the robe seemed to be a real person, sitting upright on the throne, its empty sleeves resting on the armrests, the hem naturally hanging down, exuding an imperial majesty, as if the Emperor of Fengdu from back in the day was still alive, protecting this land of the dead.
This imperial robe… is waiting for the Emperor of Fengdu to return. Lin Qiye gazed at the robe in mid-air and sighed deeply; this city is also waiting for him to come back.
A hundred years have passed; can he still return? Baili Pangpang couldn’t help but ask.
Cao Yuan pondered for a moment. As long as he enters reincarnation, he will definitely be able to return… After all, even Yang Jian has emerged; the gods of the Great Xia have begun to return. Sooner or later, the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu will come here and restart Fengdu.
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to remember something and asked curiously:
By the way, how did you all get into Fengdu? I thought I had blocked the entrance…
Cao Yuan was taken aback. We didn’t go through the entrance; we came in through the main door.
The main door? Lin Qiye frowned. How did you open that bronze giant door?
We didn’t do anything; it just opened by itself…
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye froze in place.
Did nothing, and it opened by itself?
Is it an automatic door?
But if that’s the case… why didn’t it open when I walked to the bronze giant door back then?
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Boom—!!
At that moment, the pitch-black door was slammed open, and a massive white figure stumbled in from outside!
The once imposing Ant Queen now looked disheveled, her body, which had been painstakingly repaired, had nearly one-third turned to paper, torn and tattered. A suffocating aura of death surrounded her, and half of her massive head had shriveled down, becoming a flat piece of paper, looking extremely bizarre.
After rushing into the hall, she abruptly turned around and used her body to close the dark door, blocking the swarm of paper figures outside, plunging the entire hall into silence.
The Ant Queen seemed exhausted, slowly turning around, and suddenly spotted the five people by the wall, her massive body stiffening…
Lin Qiye and the others silently exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
Perhaps… this is what they call fate.
Lin Qiye gently set Jialan down against the wall and looked into her eyes, saying seriously:
You’re too heavy; carrying you on my back affects my speed. Sit here for a while.
Jialan:……
Baili Pangpang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, desperately holding back laughter. He nudged Cao Yuan beside him and whispered: See? I told you Qiye is a repellent to the opposite sex, right? This statement… tsk tsk.
Cao Yuan turned his head in confusion. I think what he said makes a lot of sense!
Baili Pangpang:……
Under Jialan’s resentful gaze, Lin Qiye slowly stood up from the ground, resting his dual swords on their sheaths, and swiftly drew both straight blades!
Clang—!!
The crisp sound of the blades echoed in the dark hall.
Lin Qiye gripped the dual swords, his gaze fixed on the disheveled Ant Queen not far away, and calmly spoke:
Fifth Reserve Team, first ‘mysterious’ extermination mission… begin!
As soon as Lin Qiye’s words fell, the three figures behind him simultaneously surged forward, with Cao Yuan leading the charge, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, a slight smile on his lips.
Straight blades unsheathed!
Black malevolent flames intertwined around his body, burning fiercely, and a terrifying killing intent surged from his black blade, like a mad demon fallen into hell, grinning as he charged towards the Ant Queen ahead!
