The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1050 Secret II
Ming Yue Yin took a deep breath and the energy around her suddenly became dense and heavy, Lory could feel the changes around her and the corners of her lips slowly lifted.
'The brat has improved' he thought then Lory peeked at the ceiling she slowly injected more mana into the barrier to make the barrier thicker than before.
Suddenly they felt the air being sucked in by Ming Yue Yin and a sudden gust of wind spread like a shockwave then they heard a breaking sound but strangely the rock remained still.
'Did it fail?' Tao Bing Wen looked disappointed but relieved that at least the tunnel remained intact.
Ming Yue Yin opened her eyes then she turned around and smiled broadly, "It's done!"
Lory tilted her head in confusion which make Ming Yue Yin chuckle in delight then she took out her sword then lightly tapped on the rock and suddenly the entire giant rock shattered into pieces, soon after behind Ming Yue Yin appeared a long staircase that seemed to lead to the bottom of the cave.
Everyone's eyes widen in utter shock, Ming Yue Yin's faces beamed with satisfaction as she saw their reaction then she lifted her chin proudly and raised her hands imitating Lory's manner previously, "So, shall we?"
Tao Bing Wen gaped, he had heard about the 'earth-shattering' art from his grandfather that it was a martial art that could crush an opponent's body from the inside out with a single blow but he heard that this skill was extremely difficult to perform and it will take a long time to master.
Tao Bing Wen did not expect not because Ming Yue Yin is female but more likely because she was very young maybe no more than twenty-five years old and she is also the empress of Liang Zu kingdom and in his opinion as the empress, she does not need to be so strong as many people will fight and die for her, therefore, Tao Bing Wen did not expect someone like Empress Ming will go this length to be stronger so what motivated her?
Tao Bing Wen's eyes subconsciously shot towards the bluish hair woman.
Lory had retracted the barrier and then cooly stridden towards Ming Yue Yin with a satisfied smile on her face, as she passed by Ming Yue Yin she dotingly caressed Ming Yue Yin's head like a loving elder and just like a child, Ming Yue Yin's face brighten up she can't hold her joyful smiles after that Yang Xi Ying wrapped her arms around Ming Yue Yin and whisper "You are so awesome~" Yang Xi Ying eyes glow with obvious admiration. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
Ming Yue Yin was exhilarated she thought her hard work was not in vain she should reward Yuan Shao who send the art of 'earth-shattering book that he found to her cause he worry about the upcoming battle with Lao Min Na and her demon.
Thus the journey continued, they slowly descended the winding stairs further and further away as if it was endless thankfully soon after the stairs finally stopped and they arrive in a large room, Lory held the Luminescent pearl up high above her head and the white light brushed against the cold cracked walls but still couldn't illuminate the whole massive room, Lory knows the luminescent is not enough so she used her power to scattered light soon after they have vivid looks of what place they encounter.
"Wooahh....what is this place?" Tao Bing Wen held his breath.
Around them, huge stone pillars stood erect against the roof of the great dome on top of them and again there was an old painting of a snake and a man but due to corrosion and time the picture was not clear and the colors had faded so much that it was hard to recognize.
"Another snake..." Yang Xi Ying frowned.
"And it's black snake nonetheless....but the man that holds the red sword..." Ming Yue Yin's expression got tightened.
Lory stares at the painting of a man standing gallantly while holding a red sword with his right hand and a giant snake circle around him but it doesn't look like the snake threaten him in fact judging by he touches the head of the snake with his other hands it shown as if they have a close relationship.
[If that man is Emperor Lei Yu and that snake is Lazarus that means they knew each other then that means....] Girsha's voice was hinted with tension
"Lazarus has been here since the beginning..." Lory muttered quietly.
Both Yang Xi Ying and Ming Yue Yin simultaneously turn their shocked eyes toward her, only Tao Bing Wen feels left out of the conversation but he can't feel the heavy atmosphere around him.
"Is that possible?" a bullet of panic raised to Yang Xi Ying's throat she didn't want to believe that the demon has been in her world for a long time does that mean that the demons have always been able to travel between their worlds but why Emperor Lei Yu didn't kill that Demon on Contrary he seems close with that demons.
"There might be some explanation about Emperor Lei Yu and Lazarus around here, let's spread out." Ming Yue Yin said in a peremptory tone
"Can anyone explain what's going on here?" Tao Bing Wen pleads with a helpless look.
"I will explain, follow me!" Yang Xi Ying dragged Tao Bing Wen with her.
Lory didn't say anything not because she was accept new information easily in fact her mind was a mess.
Her thoughts lead her to a mysterious boy who reminds her to find out who Lazarus's real identity is, Lory doesn't know what is so important about it or how it will help her but now she realizes it might be the key to everything that happened.
[Who do you think Lazarus is?] Girsha flapped his wings in front of Lory causing her to snap back from her wandering thoughts.
[I don't know] Lory lowered her gaze then shook his head weakly [Demons or gods cannot cross between worlds and that is the rule, the same rule that all gods agree unanimously an agreement in order to protect the universe and they choose the first King in every world to protect their world bestowed their strength unlike any other humans so they can fight against evil without God intervention to create order and balance....] Lory took a deep breath then she turn his gaze at the massive painting on the dome [At least that's what mother and father told me because of that I had no idea how Lazarus able to exists in both worlds...]
Girsha turns silent and then he mumbles [So many questions…so few answers]
[Maybe not for now, but I had a feeling we will soon know all the answers] Lory retracted her gaze and then looked around her searching for any clue just like Ming Yue Yin said they might find a clue they need.
The four of them were busy exploring the large room looking for clues, unlike the previous places which were quite well maintained with some furniture and a few trinkets that were still left though not in good condition but at least still recognizable what it was made, as it made from jade and marble so that it preserved from time even if the color has faded a long time.
"Looks like this place is the main hall, huh?" Ming Yue Yin said as she stepped toward Lory.
Lory's steps suddenly stopped and her expression became serious then said: "More precisely this is the imperial throne room"
,m Ming Yue Yin turned her gaze to where Lory was looking and there she saw a throne built about three-five meters from the ground with many steps leading to the top where a giant golden chair engraved with dragons and fire.ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
"Emperor Lei Yu's first throne" Ming Yue Yin stared in shock but then he was amazed at how majestic the throne was even though thousands of years had passed.
Lory stared at the golden throne with reticent looks one could hardly read what Lory is thinking right now.
