"The Prime Minister has been out of contact for two days now. Please be prepared..."
Mark kicked the door open, and Liu Lang and Xiao Dai rushed in as well.
As soon as they entered, they saw a person with a terrified face and a stiff expression hanging on the wall, looking down at them.
"Dead..."
Xiao Dai put him down, and suddenly a royal knight exuding an aura of emptiness appeared in front of him. Xiao Dai then raised his holy shield.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Liu Lang shouted, and the hammer appeared out of thin air and struck Xiao Dai's back. Xiao Dai immediately dodged to the side, and then saw the person who had been dead for a long time suddenly stand up, exuding an aura of emptiness and launching an attack on him!
"die!"
Liu Lang smashed the guy to pieces with a powerful hammer blow!
What the hell is this place? Is it still the Fourth Prince's residence?
Why are there traps and dangers right after we entered?!
"He's a member of the Royal Knights, but the aura he carries..."
The Ninth Princess also exclaimed in surprise. The Fallen Royal Knight in front of them burst from his chest, and tentacles grew from his armor. Then he let out a terrifying roar and charged towards the group. Xiao Dai quickly stepped forward and, together with Liu Lang's natal giant hammer, smashed the guy away!
"The dent is almost invisible; it's the Seven Star Knight..."
If Liu Lang couldn't smash it in one hit, it could only mean that this guy had a defense level of at least mid-six-star, because under the current enhanced state of his giant hammer weapon, he could perfectly fight across a major realm.
Any knight with a six-star strength would have been left with considerable hammer marks, but not even a dent could be seen, which is why Liu Lang came to this conclusion.
As Liu Lang and Xiao Dai's battle raged, more Fallen Knights approached them. Princess Veroshiya quickly ordered the royal guards around her to prepare. Everyone's hearts sank as they watched the Fallen Knights charging towards them, and the battle began.
Even the Royal Knights were defeated here... so what about Princess Eretta, the leader of the Royal Knights?
Where did the Prime Minister go this time...?
After a burst of energy, a dark purple miasma surged from the corridor. A royal knight, now ethereal, was slammed into the wall by Liu Lang's giant hammer. His shattered armor fused with the wall, oozing a viscous purple substance.
"Screw those annoying tentacles!"
Liu Lang gave that damned, fallen royal knight a big middle finger.
Just now, when he opened his mouth to roar, this thing almost shoved inside him!
"Luckily I reacted quickly, this smell is really disgusting."
Liu Lang cursed and swore, but fortunately, he had already dealt with the knights on this side, and on the other side, everyone had also dealt with these knights perfectly.
After all, it was a case of many against few, and these fallen royal knights didn't know how to fight in groups, so even if they were powerful, they couldn't fight back.
"If it's about finding someone..."
The necklace on Verosia's chest floated, and she was still chanting incantations.
Liu Lang and Xiao Dai also witnessed this scene. Previously, the Ninth Princess had used this method to find the Grand Mage. In this way, the task of finding the Prime Minister would now fall to her.
"Grand Master..."
"Um."
Because the necklace contained the Grand Mage's consciousness, and the Ninth Princess cooperated with the Grand Mage to directly activate the necklace's blue light, the light pierced through the purple mist and directly passed through the star-shaped mark on the wall.
Upon seeing the marker, everyone immediately took action, eliminating many humans corrupted by the void along the way, including knights, mages, priests, and animals.
The starlight trail broke into a strange spiral at the corner ahead, and everyone could see the exit of this long corridor. They had already left the front courtyard of the Fourth Prince's residence.
We arrived at the entrance to the back hall.
Continuing forward leads into the hall, but the broken spiral indicates that the Prime Minister is not inside, but rather...
"basement?"
Mark spotted the secret passage switch immediately. After he pulled the switch, a hidden door appeared on the ground, and at the same time, a spiral staircase descending into the distance came into view.
Mark and Bu Bai immediately went down to scout ahead for everyone, and soon Liu Lang and Xiao Dai followed suit and jumped down as well.
As they descended, they saw crystals radiating purple energy nearby and immediately destroyed them.
"A crystal exuding an aura of emptiness..."
Mark didn't want to touch it, so he used remote means to blow it up.
As they descended, purple fleshy veins gradually appeared on the underground walls. However, as they continued to descend, they were suddenly blocked by a white light!
"You are...it's you!"
The Prime Minister's voice came from below. He immediately saw Liu Lang and Xiao Dai, and then realized that the Ninth Princess had arrived. He then shouted anxiously at them.
"Don't go any further! This is a trap. I can protect myself. Don't go any deeper. Wait for me to come out!"
"Your Excellency, is there anything we can do to help you?"
"The busiest thing is taking care of myself. I've found a way to get out of the trap, but it will take time!"
"You must not go into the hall, wait for me..."
The Prime Minister's hoarse roar suddenly overlapped with the shrieking sound above, and then the walls below began to spew out spikes, as if trying to trap and kill the people coming down!
"What's happening up there? Retreat!"
