Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1053 - 1051: Wherever It Passed, Not a Single Tile Remained!【Third Update】
Chapter 1053: Chapter 1051: Wherever It Passed, Not a Single Tile Remained!【Third Update】
"Who did this? Where has the Dragon Gate gone?"
The nine valley masters of Nine Dragons Valley looked at each other, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief.
Though since the fall of the Dragon Emperor, they had not been here.
But...
As descendants of the Dragon Emperor, they had witnessed the grandeur of the Dragon Emperor Tomb when it was being built.
They also had some understanding of the basic structure of the Dragon Emperor Tomb.
They were well aware that the Dragon Emperor, to display his majesty and power, had deliberately placed the sacred relic of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Gate, at the entrance of the tomb.
But now...
The Dragon Gate has vanished without a trace!
Looking at the marks on the ground, it’s not hard to tell that the Dragon Gate was uprooted and taken away!
My god!
Isn’t that a bit too ruthless?
Even the Dragon Gate, famously displayed by the Dragon Emperor from Ancient Times, has been taken away.
Isn’t that the same as taking away someone’s main entrance?
Long Yi’s face turned livid, looking extremely grim.
Long Jiu, however, turned to Ji Changkong with cold eyes filled with deep suspicion: "Ji Changkong, among us, you were the only one who entered the Godfall Trench before the appearance of the ancient path. Did you take away the Dragon Gate?"
Whoosh!
All eyes instantly focused on him.
Ji Changkong’s face changed, realizing the gravity of the situation. If he did not clarify this matter, the accusation of stealing the Dragon Gate might very well fall on him.
If this really got pinned on him.
The nine fellows of Nine Dragons Valley wouldn’t let him off easily; they might fight him to the death.
Upon this thought.
Ji Changkong pounded his chest and declared righteously: "I, Ji Changkong, swear to the heavens that if I had disturbed even a blade of grass in the Dragon Emperor Tomb before this, I will face the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder which will destroy my flesh and obliterate my soul!"
Rolling thunder!
The sound of thunder faintly echoed through the heavens and earth.
This was a Heavenly Dao oath!
Even a Sacred Honor could not bear the consequences of breaking a Heavenly Dao oath.
With Ji Changkong daring to prove his innocence with a Heavenly Dao oath, Long Yi and the others completely dispersed their suspicions towards him.
"If it’s not you, then who could it be?"
"Could it be that someone arrived at the tomb before us?" Shark Dominator said in a deep voice.
"Impossible!"
Long Yi shook his head, "When the Blood Moon arises, the ancient path opens. Under the Blood Moon Barrier, one can only enter the tomb through the Heavenly Dao ancient path, but I am certain no one was faster than us..."
"Could it be that the Dragon Gate was taken during the anomaly in the Godfall Trench hundreds of years ago?" Ji Changkong tentatively suggested.
"Very likely!"
Long Yi nodded, clenched his fists, and violently smashed the ground causing the earth to tremor violently with cracks spreading around, his voice gritted with rage, "Damn it, I better not find out who entered the Dragon Emperor Tomb back then; no matter your identity, I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes..."
Long Wu consoled, "Elder brother, there’s no need for this, the Dragon Gate is merely one of the many treasures in the tomb; there are countless more treasures ahead waiting for us to retrieve!"
"Fifth brother is right, I remember besides the Dragon Gate, our father emperor also placed treasures like the Vast Heaven Mirror, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Three Lights Divine Water Bottle in the tomb..." Long Jiu nodded and agreed.
Long Yi’s eyes lit up, nodding, "You’re right, the Dragon Gate is just one of the treasures, there are many more treasures waiting for us ahead!"
The group continued forward.
An hour later.
Long Yi howled furiously: "Damn it, who did this? Where has the Vast Heaven Mirror gone? Even the stand that held the Vast Heaven Mirror has been moved?"
Three hours later.
"Don’t let me catch you, or I must make you so pulverized, scattering your ashes... even the incense burner next to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda has been moved..."
"You’re leaving nothing at all for me..."
After ten hours.
Six hours...
As time went on.
Long Yi and the others kept getting closer to the main burial chamber of the Dragon Emperor Tomb, but along the way, all the treasures had already been taken by others.
All pulled out by the roots, all taken away.
Not a single hair left behind!
Long Yi, from his initial fury to his subsequent rampage, had gradually become numb.
Along the way.
All the valuable, precious treasures were uprooted.
Plucking out feathers after the geese have passed!
Not one left!
True to the phrase where they passed, not a blade of grass grew, not a tile remained!
"Gone!"
"All gone!"
"Who on earth did this..."
Long Yi and his companions, covered in dust and in disarray, were like frost-stricken eggplants, no longer feeling that initial excitement and thrill.
After all.
Along the way, repeated disappointments and letdowns had already worn away all their passion.
Shark Dominator patted Long Yi’s shoulder, comforting him: "Don’t worry, the treasures in the main tomb are the most abundant, we still have a chance!"
Long Yi grunted, a glint of hope flickering in his eyes: "You’re right, the inheritance of Father in the main tomb and the Dragon Transformation Pool are indeed the treasures beyond all!"
The group once again sped up, heading towards the main tomb ahead.
Meanwhile.
Ahead of them, Xiao Yi and his three companions hummed tunes, each beaming with utter satisfaction.
Following Xiao Yi all the way...
They truly reaped a bountiful harvest.
Xiao Yi was never one to hog everything for himself. Generous with his companions, he shared the benefits and treasures with the three others.
Every one of them gained tremendously.
Especially Ning Delun, who even acquired the Three Lights Divine Water Bottle, containing water that could sustain a cultivator from the Human Venerate Realm all the way to the Earth Venerate Realm.
"Lord Xiao, look ahead..." Qiu Yiyun suddenly pointed ahead.
Xiao Yi’s gaze swept forward, revealing a field of spirit plants.
Inside, numerous kinds of spirit flowers and herbs were cultivated.
Blooming in profusion, colorful and diverse. Yet each one had grown over thousands of years, truly rare specimens.
"Don’t move!"
Xiao Yi sternly stopped several individuals planning to move forward to pick them.
The others looked at him in bewilderment.
Xiao Yi said gravely, "Look clearly at what these flowers really are!"
"Aren’t these spirit flowers?"
"These are Lingzhi mushrooms..."
"What? Aren’t these Snow Ginsengs?"
The three people gave different answers, they looked at each other with confusion.
Xiao Yi said: "These are called Hell Flowers, only grown near the main tomb. They are master illusionists, each person sees them differently, and furthermore, they are extremely poisonous, not to be touched under any circumstances!"
Hiss!
The three of them drew a sharp breath, their expressions wary as they looked at the spirit field before them.
They were almost about to rush in!
Ning Delun said, "So it’s Hell Flowers? No wonder Hu and the others suddenly went mad that year, we thought it was because they angered the soul of the Dragon Emperor..."
Qiu Yiyun said, "Such a dreadful flower, we should leave quickly!"
Xiao Yi however, with a slight smile, said: "What’s the rush? We’ve collected all the treasures along the way, how can we not leave something for those behind? As the saying goes, it’s better to share the joy with everyone!"
"Uh..."
"Leave them what?"
The three looked at Xiao Yi in confusion.
Xiao Yi pointed at the Hell Flowers in front of them, chuckling: "Aren’t these the best gift?"
