Dongfang Qingming's blood and qi surged forth, and he charged out like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But before he could get close, a figure rose into the air from the city beneath the golden dragon.

A stone figure appeared out of thin air!

Dongfang Qingming threw a punch, sending the stone man hurtling into the distance.

But then the entire city seemed to come alive, with hundreds and thousands of stone figures soaring into the sky and charging towards Dongfang Qingming.

Damn it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Dongfang Qingming turned around and rushed back to the passage he had come from.

He couldn't even smash a stone golem with one punch. There were so many stone golems here; even if he stood here and let him hit them, he couldn't kill them all.

What's more, there's a huge thing watching from the sky!

It's true that he wants to take the path of the extreme, but that doesn't mean he's brainless.

Fortunately, those stone figures weren't very fast and didn't catch up with Dongfang Qingming.

Just as Dongfang Qingming was about to enter the passage, a blood-red hand reached out from the passage and went straight for Dongfang Qingming's heart.

Holy crap—there's a sixth guy!

Dongfang Qingming raised both fists and punched out, only to be slammed into the ground the instant they collided with the blood-red palm.

It’s over!

Dongfang Qingming secretly realized something was wrong.

But to his surprise, the stone figures ignored him and instead attacked the owner of the blood-red hand in the passage.

"You living dead are all fucking crazy!"

The blood-red hand quickly retracted, accompanied by an exasperated voice.

Clearly, it had no intention of fighting these stone men.

A fierce battle erupted in the passage, and in the end, the stone men returned with a blood-red arm.

The golden dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the blood-red arm, and the dark spots on its body seemed to dim slightly.

Dongfang Qingming witnessed this scene.

I think I've discovered some incredible secret!

The monsters guarding the dragon vein of the Shang Dynasty are not part of the other group of monsters.

It seems that the Great Shang Dragon Vein can suppress injuries through this method.

If that's the case... it seems like I have some room to maneuver.

"Traitor to the four great families, it's your turn!"

After digesting the blood-red arm, the golden dragon looked at Dongfang Qingming.

"We can talk!"

Dongfang Qingming spoke.

"Traitors have no right to negotiate!"

The golden dragon opened its mouth, about to unleash golden dragon flames.

"The Emperor is not dead. I have seen him!"

Li Fan, the most monstrous genius in the world, is my ally, and also the Emperor's ally.

Li Fan destroyed the Yin Corpse Sect, one of the five great immortal sects. In the process, he accidentally destroyed the consciousness born from the Great Shang Dragon Seal, and was therefore cursed. He was suppressed by the Great Shang's fortune and could not break through. However, a few days ago, the Emperor appeared and personally lifted the pressure of the fortune on him.

You should be able to sense that!

Dongfang Qingming directly told him what he knew.

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden dragon flew out of the city impatiently: "Where is the Emperor? Take me to see him quickly!"

It had indeed sensed what Dongfang Qingming had said.

It doesn't fully know what's going on either.

However, what Dongfang Qingming said makes logical sense.

The great fortune of the Shang Dynasty has all returned to the Emperor.

It had no doubts, nor did it want to have any.

Even if Dongfang Qingming is lying, it will still try to verify it.

"Are you able to get out?"

Dongfang Qingming glanced at the golden dragon, then looked at the city and the countless stone figures.

The golden dragon fell silent.

Those stone figures are not sculptures; they are the last warriors of the Shang Dynasty.

In the final battle, the Emperor died.

The so-called immortals from the upper realm used magic to piece together the shattered cave, and those who wanted to survive could only become monsters.

These warriors preferred to become fossils and guard it rather than degenerate into monsters.

This city is part of the imperial city of the Shang Dynasty, and also part of the ancient Shang Dynasty's grotto heaven.

Only by staying here can they be considered not completely dead.

Once they leave this city, their hope of revival will be completely extinguished.

If it were just the golden dragon gambling by itself, it would gamble without hesitation.

It's not worth gambling with the lives of these soldiers.

But similarly, if it goes out and doesn't come back, these soldiers will also die.

Let's hear their opinions!

Just then, a faint sigh came from within the city.

A person stepped out of the air, half of his body made of stone and the other half of flesh and blood.

His features were exactly the same as Jun Buyu's, but the feeling he gave off was completely different.

"Greetings, Emperor Tang!"

The golden dragon bowed in homage, and the stone figure floating in the air also bowed slowly.

Jun Buyu's pupils suddenly contracted, and a name instantly came to mind.

Your soup!

The father of the Emperor, the previous Shang Emperor.

Even in the records of the four great families, he is considered a first-rate benevolent ruler.

He... he didn't die!

Dongfang Qingming stood there stunned, while Jun Tang gently raised his hand.

His vital energy surged from his body and then poured into the stone figures in the city.

With a crisp crack, the mouth of a stone figure split open.

"I...see...the...Emperor!"

Those three short words seemed to have used up all their strength.

"Fight...again...the immortals!"

"The Shang... are not defeated!"

"We can still fight!"

"War! War! War!"

One by one, the stone figures awoke, their remaining consciousness emitting powerful and resounding voices.

"Then let's fight!"

Jun Tang's white hair danced in the air as the power of his internal energy and blood rapidly broke through the shackles.

Half of the stone was shattered into pieces.

Then, with both arms raised high, the city, which was originally embedded in the ground, slowly rose into the air.

"All generals, return to your positions!"

Jun Tang spoke again, and countless stone figures flew back to the city.

When they all returned to their places, the entire city shone with brilliant light.

Under the light, the stone figures' bodies rapidly cracked.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

......

Countless muffled thuds erupted simultaneously, and as the smoke and dust dissipated, streams of blood and qi billowed like smoke from a wolf's lair.

"The Emperor is currently fighting with the Venerable Master of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect. Senior, you can see him by following this passage."

Dongfang Qingming pointed in the direction he had come from.

"Let bygones be bygones."

The ban imposed by the four major families is no longer in effect.

I happen to know a little about the path of the yakuza.

This insight is for you.

As Jun Tang spoke, his hand was already on Dongfang Qingming's shoulder.

Before Dongfang Qingming could react, an extremely rich surge of blood energy flowed into his body.

After doing all this, Jun Tang punched the earth below.

The golden fist shadow melted the ground, revealing a brand new passage. "The Li Fan you mentioned should be in this direction. Just keep walking along this path, and you'll see him."

However, I must warn you, there are four monsters there, each possessing unparalleled strength, placing them firmly in the top tier of human power!

After Jun Tang finished speaking, the entire city crashed towards the passage.

Rumble!

An explosion was heard, and the ground began to collapse.

Without hesitation, Dongfang Qingming rushed straight into the ground.

He had a feeling that Li Fan might be the key to winning this battle.
