Chapter 234: The Lou Kingdom’s Past, A Million Tormented Souls, Shang Han And Others Enter The Ancient City

The Boundary Emperor weapon that Chu Kuangren had sensed was located inside the main hall of the palace.

However, the moment both of them entered the main palace hall, they immediately felt that something was off as the air within the hall was filled with a terrifyingly ferocious qi.

“What an unbelievable surge of ferocious qi!” Lan Yu could not help but feel shocked.

Following that, both of them saw something with a golden robe standing above the palace. It was… A skeleton!

The surface of this skeleton was radiating with golden light and had countless Daoist runes circulating it, which connected to a long halberd in his hand.

The skeleton had an indescribable sense of stalwart to it.

Besides that, there were countless Daoist runes engraved all around the palace too.

The terrifying ferocious qi seemed to be trapped in the palace because of the Daoist runes, which had nowhere else to spread to.

“It seems like this is the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler. But why does he have all these runes all around him?” Lan Yu said in surprise.

As if sensing that someone had entered, a golden ray of light burst out from the body of the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler before it transformed into a figure before them.

It was a stalwart man dressed in royal robes. He had an extremely majestic appearance and looked similar to the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler before his death.

“Explorer from the future!”

“I’m the Ruler of this Lou Kingdom!”

That stalwart man spoke.

Lan Yu immediately readied her defense battle form.

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Relax, it’s just an image.”

“I’ve presumed that you’ve noticed something abnormal about this palace. The main culprit of all this was none other than the Lou Kingdom’s subordinate city-state, the Tranquil Kingdom!”

“The Tranquil Kingdom’s Ruler was the one who caused all this chaos. Seeking to overthrow the Lou Kingdom, he did not hesitate to enter the Forbidden Area and steal the source of ferocious qi. He used a million soldiers from his country as a sacrifice and created a great invincible Tormented Army!”

“However, the Tormented Army contained too much ferocious qi that they could not be controlled by the Tranquil Kingdom’s Ruler. So in return, the Tranquil Kingdom suffered, which led to the wipe-out of the whole country!”

“After that, the Tormented Army invaded the Lou Kingdom, conquering all thirteen cities in the kingdom within a single day. The Tormented Army headed straight to the kingdom’s royal capital!”

“Knowing that the Lou Kingdom was done for, and to prevent this great Tormented Army from causing harm to the citizens, I resorted to using this Boundary Emperor weapon, the Heavenly Halberd as the base of a Formation. I used myself as bait and set up this Great Spirit Sealing Formation to seal this Tormented Army beneath this palace. After the Tormented Army was sealed, I then activated the formation spell to hide the city within the void…”

“Explorer from the future, for the sake of the world and your safety, do not remove this halberd. Leave this place quickly, and beware. Always beware.”

After explaining the details of what had happened, the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler disappeared.

That was just a recording that was left behind by the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler.

It would only be triggered the moment someone entered the palace.

“So that was what happened.”

Both of their doubts were cleared the moment they learned about what happened to the Lou Kingdom.

So that was how the Lou Kingdom fell into ruin.

“Forbidden Area, ferocious qi source… It’s referring to the Core Area of the Ancient Battlefield, which was where the Sage War took place.”

“At that time, this Lou Kingdom was not yet enveloped by a surge of ferocious qi. It was only because the Tranquil Kingdom’s Ruler wanted to overthrow the Lou Kingdom’s rule so he went to the Forbidden Area to steal the so-called source of ferocious qi, and by some method, sacrificed a million soldiers in his army and turned them all into tormented souls. But he didn’t expect that these million tormented souls would be beyond his control, and instead brought about the destruction of both the Tranquil Kingdom and the Lou Kingdom…”

“And right now, those one million tormented souls are right under our very feet!”

The both of them glanced at the ground.

Countless runes that overflowed with mysterious Daoist Rhymes were engraved on it, and it connected to the halberd that was in the hands of the Lou Kingdom’s Ruler’s corpse.

“Master, what should we do now?”

“Let’s leave.”

Chu Kuangren said indifferently, “A million tormented souls is no joke. Besides, they’ve been suppressed for so long that the strength of ferocious qi they have will be inconceivable. If that breaks out, the Sunsoil City and the people nearby will be wiped out by this disaster.”

Although letting go of a Boundary Emperor weapon was a shame, it was still a worthwhile trip to be able to get their hands on the contents of the entire Lou Kingdom’s treasury.

Furthermore, he already possessed the Emperor weapon, Sacred Emerald Sword Case, and with the Descendant Self Sword’s growth potential, it was only a matter of time before it turned into an Emperor weapon. After all, there was no need to bring harm to countless innocent people just because of a Boundary Emperor weapon.

The both of them left the Lou Kingdom.

When they came out, the ancient city had already disappeared.

“It seems that the Lou Kingdom’s enchanted boundary has existed for too long and as a result, it’ll fail occasionally which made the kingdom appear. We came across it at just the right time.” Chu Kuangren looked at the sand dunes in front of him and smiled.

“It seems that luck is on our side today.”

Lan Yu felt it was quite unbelievable. If they could chance upon it with such low probability, it could be considered more than just a stroke of simple good luck.

“It’s all thanks to my Lucky Halo. I can’t help it.”

As such, both of them turned and left the sand dunes.

Although he had obtained the Lou Kingdom’s treasures, Chu Kuangren was still very curious about the Ancient Battlefield’s Core Area.

He was still interested to take a look.

Shortly after both of them had left.

A troop of people arrived at the Ancient Lou Kingdom’s vicinity. They were the Yun Xiao Troop and Shang Han who came to find the Lou Kingdom’s treasures.

“The resonance of the Lou clan’s ancient sword is at its peak. It seems that the Ancient Lou Kingdom is here,” Shang Han said as he held the trembling Lou clan’s ancient sword and looked around.

“There’s an ancient city here?”

“Who are you kidding? There’s nothing here at all? Are you messing with us?”

“It is indeed here.”

Shang Han replied lightly, “It’s rumored that the Lou Kingdom has a spatial formation spell that can form an enchanted boundary, enabling the city to be hidden inside the void. Although we can’t see it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

“Then how do we find it?”

“Whenever an enchanted boundary is formed, only the Lou clan’s ancient sword that is owned by the Lou Kingdom’s royalty can be used to open it. Everyone, please step aside.” Shang Han then threw the ancient bronze sword into the air and proceeded to imbue it with spiritual power.

As the ancient sword radiated with light, ripples then started to appear in the void.

“It’s working!”

“That’s great news.”

Everyone was overjoyed.

Hum!

At that moment not far away, a ray of saber light which contained a terrifying ferocious qi suddenly swept towards them. Li Xiaoyun’s face changed a little before he quickly moved to resist it.

The moment he struck out a slash, the sword ray collided with the saber light.

An explosion instantly erupted and caused the void to rumble violently.

Not far away, a tormented soul that was a long saber suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and its surging ferocious qi immediately rose into the sky!

Li Xiaoyun’s expression suddenly turned serious.

“It’s the Tormented Saber Wielder, one of the Inner Zone’s Ten Tormented!”

The expressions of Li Xiaoyun and others changed drastically.

“The Tormented Saber wielder, one of the Inner Zone’s Ten Tormented is a tormented soul with the strength of an Honorable Supreme. D*mn, curse our bad luck. Of all the times we had, why do we have to encounter it now?”

“Quickly, prepare for battle!”

Just when everyone was preparing to deal with the Tormented Saber Wielder, roaring sounds suddenly rang out from their surroundings and strange tormented souls rushed towards them from all directions. Their violent ferocious qi instantly enveloped the whole area!

Everyone gasped.

“There’s… There are so many tormented souls!”

“Godd*mn it!”

Shang Han’s expression turned slightly grim as he said to Li Xiaoyun, “It’ll take a while for me to open a path through the enchanted boundary. All of you must hang on and buy me some time. Otherwise, everything we’ve done so far will go to waste.”

“I got it.”

Li Xiaoyun replied with his teeth gritted.

“Attack!”

A gruesome battle instantly broke out!

Li Xiaoyun was ranked tenth on the Hundred Sword Spectrum, hence possessed an extreme amount of power, and since he was also an Honorable Supreme, he personally took on the Tormented Saber Wielder in battle.

The rest of the tormented souls were left for the others to deal with.

The battle was extremely violent and tragic. One clash alone was enough for the Yun Xiao Troop to suffer casualties.

Various Daoist Rhymes flickered in the void as multiple surges of spiritual power and ferocious qi intertwined, rumbled, and collided against each other. The shockwaves caused by the battle were so powerful that it rumbled the very earth!

While the rest of the people were busy dealing with the tormented souls, Shang Han urged forth the Lou Clan’s ancient sword to hit the enchanted boundary. Eventually, a crack opened through.

That majestic Lou Kingdom finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Let’s go!”
