Chapter 674: Angry Eyes
He swung his heavy sword and chopped him off, leaving a deep wound on his chest.
“How could it be…”
The elder of the Black Demon Hall was horrified.
Jiang Chen's swordsmanship was completely superior to his.
"die!"
He approached him again and struck him again, causing blood to spurt out.
"Don't kill me."
The elder of the Black Demon Hall shouted, "I am willing to join you."
"unnecessary."
Jiang Chen's tone was cold.
Hearing Jiang Chen's refusal, the elder of the Black Demon Hall showed an angry look.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Even if you win today, I'll find someone to kill you tomorrow."
Having said that, the elder of the Black Demon Hall turned around and ran away at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and followed calmly.
"Get out of my way!"
Upon seeing this, the elder of the Black Demon Hall had a ferocious look on his face and reached out to grab Jiang Chen's head with his claws.
Jiang Chen crushed the claws of the Black Demon Hall elder with one hand.
At the same time, he kicked out and kicked the opponent away.
The elder of the Black Demon Hall fell to the ground, and before he could get up, Jiang Chen chased him and stepped on him.
"Let me go. I know a lot of secrets that can help you gain higher authority."
"A secret, haha."
Jiang Chen said disdainfully.
The elder of the Black Magic Hall wanted to find out about the imperial princess from him, but he could only dream about it.
Jiang Chen crushed it hard, and with a snap, the bone broke.
The elder of the Black Demon Hall screamed in agony, howling for mercy.
"I really know a lot of secrets that only I know!"
Suddenly, the elder of the Black Demon Hall shouted loudly, full of fear and excitement.
"Oh?" Jiang Chen stopped.
The elder of the Black Demon Hall breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "I know the emperor's weakness. If you are willing to let me go, I will tell you."
"Then tell me what you have to say first." Jiang Chen said.
The elder of the Black Demon Hall took two deep breaths, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and slowly spoke, "It is said that it took several years and cost countless money to build the palace."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. The construction of the imperial palace did require huge wealth support.
"However, the material of the palace is very special. Even a Saint-level blacksmith would find it difficult to forge it. Only I know the secret."
"That's why you can survive, but how valuable this secret is is another matter."
After the Black Demon Hall elder finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Chen.
"Well, I know you wouldn't dare lie to me."
Jiang Chen said: "Go on."
The elder of the Black Demon Hall breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Because of the huge amount of money spent, the emperor will hold a blessing ceremony every once in a while."
"A blessing ceremony?"
Jiang Chen frowned, he had heard of this ceremony.
"What's wrong with this ritual?"
"The blessing ceremony, as the name suggests, is a prayer. The emperor hopes to receive the protection of the gods and bless him to unify the world."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
If what the elder of the Black Magic Hall said is true, this matter is not simple and there may be hidden dangers.
"For the blessing ceremony, do we need to prepare something?"
Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"That's right, one thing must be prepared, and that is the emperor's seal." said the elder of the Black Magic Hall.
"What?" Jiang Chen was stunned. How could the emperor's seal be used as a sacrifice?
"The Imperial Seal symbolizes supreme status. Whoever possesses it possesses the power of the empire and can command any soldiers and armies."
The elder of the Black Demon Hall said: "If my guess is correct, the emperor's seal is hidden in the palace."
"How did you know that?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I once sneaked into the palace and discovered it accidentally." said the elder of the Black Demon Hall.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura.
Sensing Jiang Chen's murderous intent, the Black Demon Hall elder was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he quickly changed his words: "I mean, I saw with my own eyes that the emperor's jade seal was hidden somewhere."
"Where is the jade seal now?"
"The secret vault of the imperial palace." said the elder of the Black Magic Hall.
"Secret vault?"
Jiang Chen expressed doubt.
The elder of the Black Magic Hall explained: "The secret vault is guarded by 108 guards. Only those with a pass token can enter. However, the outer perimeter of the secret vault is full of formations and traps. If you make a mistake, you will be immediately blasted into ashes."
"Moreover, the guards outside the secret vault are quite strong, and the lowest level of cultivation is a fifth-level rune master."
A fifth-level rune master is equivalent to a rune master at the Martial Emperor level.
"We have a total of sixteen level five rune masters in the Black Magic Hall."
The elder of the Black Demon Hall continued, "I work under one of them."
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
"You should be able to understand how I feel now. I want to leave here, but I can't. I can only rely on you, the big tree." The elder of the Black Magic Hall pleaded.
"The exact location of the imperial seal you mentioned." Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, the elder of the Black Demon Hall breathed a sigh of relief and finally let Jiang Chen agree.
He quickly led the way, and Jiang Chen followed behind.
"careful."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen reminded him, pulling his sleeve to avoid the hidden arrow attack.
"There's an ambush!"
He reacted immediately, looked around, and indeed found many dark shadows.
"It's an assassin."
The elder of the Black Demon Hall gnashed his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that they are still alive and dare to send people to kill me."
"You are the elder of the Black Demon Hall, and you must have treasures on you. They will not give them up easily." Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
The elder of the Black Magic Hall's expression kept changing and he seemed to be struggling. Finally, he compromised and took out a metal plate with a strange pattern engraved on it.
"With this badge, you can freely enter and exit the Black Magic Hall's treasury. There are many good things in it, and they all belong to you." said the elder of the Black Magic Hall.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Chen asked playfully.
The Black Demon Hall elder's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, but thinking that he had no way out, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am sure."
Jiang Chen nodded and accepted the token from the elder of the Black Demon Hall.
"You can go away now," he said.
"ah?"
The elder of the Black Demon Hall was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses and was ecstatic.
"Thank you! Thank you!" He left in a hurry.
Jiang Chen looked at his background, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.
After the elder of the Black Demon Hall left, he did not leave immediately, but stayed there for a while.
Finally, he quietly followed the elder of the Black Magic Hall and left the villa.
.....
After Jiang Chen left, the elder of the Black Demon Hall returned to his residence, still feeling frightened and thankful to have managed to save his life.
"Humph, Jiang Chen, do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
He snorted , his eyes full of resentment, "When you fall into my hands, I will torture you in a thousand ways!"
Jiang Chen left his residence and found a hotel to stay in.
"Master, why did you let that guy go?"
As soon as Jiang Chen sat down, the bronze tripod spirit couldn't wait to ask.
"He knows my identity, so it's still useful to keep him around." Jiang Chen said.
