Chapter 1246 1157: Where Are Your Soldier Terracotta Warriors?

The second palace gate of Qinrong Palace is quite different from the first.

The second palace gate is a city tower several zhang high, with three towering red doors in the center of the tower, and three stone arch bridges extending straight out in front of the doors.

Below the stone arch bridges is a fiery Magma River encircling the city walls, constantly bubbling with heat.

At this moment, on the other side of the Magma River, stood over a hundred Demon Cultivators.

These Demon Cultivators watched across the river, looking towards the second palace gate opposite.

Among these hundreds of Demon Cultivators, there were three Venerables including Venerable Ghost Valley, as well as two Half-Venerables, Yin Yang and Tian Yang, along with Governors, the Demon Emperor, and others.

It turns out that these people were blocked by the Magma River, unable to enter the second palace gate.

At this moment, over thirty others including Wang Yan also arrived at the riverbank.

This large group of over thirty people immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When they saw that the leader of this group was Luo Yuan, their eyes revealed a look of dread.

The Yin Yang Half-Venerable glanced at Luo Yuan and said with a smirk, "Governor Luo Yuan, you have some powerful methods indeed, gathering so many to follow you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan's face changed drastically.

The Yin Yang Half-Venerable clearly considered him a competitor, and being feared by a Half-Venerable Powerhouse was nothing short of courting death.

Luo Yuan hurriedly wanted to explain, but immediately felt the subtle gaze from Wang Yan behind him and held his tongue.

He could only force a smile, though that smile was even worse than crying.

Seeing that Luo Yuan didn't even respond to the Yin Yang Half-Venerable's words, people around them thought even more that Luo Yuan, confident in his own strength, already looked down upon the Yin Yang Half-Venerable.

The Yin Yang Half-Venerable's eyes flashed with a cold glint, while the surrounding Governors and others also showed a wary look towards Luo Yuan.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Luo Yuan felt bitter inside. Clearly, it was Wang Yan behind him who gathered so many people, but he had to take the fall, while Wang Yan quietly reaped all the benefits.

At that moment, Venerable Ghost Valley loudly proclaimed, "Everyone, this is indeed the second city gate of Qinrong Palace. Although it appears unassuming, I suspect that entering this gate is anything but simple. Who among you is willing to scout ahead? Whoever is willing, we three Demon Venerables promise that he can first pick a Magical Treasure from inside the second palace gate."

Initially, hearing Venerable Ghost Valley's words, no one dared to step forward, but upon hearing they could choose a Magical Treasure first, their eyes widened immediately.

Generous rewards inspire bravery.

A burly and dark-skinned man shouted, "Lord Demon Venerable, I'm willing to go."

Venerable Ghost Valley smiled faintly and said, "Ah, it's Brother Wu Xin. Good, I hope you choose your treasure first."

This burly Wu Xin was merely a High Tier Demon Saint, but being called a brother by Venerable Ghost Valley made him feel immensely proud, and with the lure of treasure, he let out a loud shout and charged towards the city gate.

The arch bridge in front of the gate was about a hundred meters away, but for a Demon Cultivator, it was just a blink of an eye to reach the end.

However, Wu Xin advanced with extreme caution, carefully taking one slow step at a time.

The crowd behind him watched intently, their hearts pounding with each step Wu Xin took.

Yet, when Wu Xin reached the end of the arch bridge, no danger appeared on the bridge.

Standing before the city gate, Wu Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, scared me to death, turns out there's nothing here. Thank you, Venerable Ghost Valley, I'll pick the first Magical Treasure!"

Saying this, Wu Xin turned around, about to enter the city gate.

But as soon as Wu Xin's foot stepped into the city gate, suddenly, a huge spear thrust out from the dark entrance, aiming straight at Wu Xin.

Wu Xin was startled and quickly retreated, an iron hammer appearing in his hand to block the spear.

The spear and hammer clashed with a "boom", and Wu Xin was sent flying backwards.

Suspended in the air, Wu Xin remained calm, coldly demanding, "Who's sneaking around, show yourself."

Before Wu Xin could finish his words, a Soldier Terracotta Warrior emerged from the gate, brandishing the spear and attacking Wu Xin again.

Seeing this, Wu Xin snorted coldly, remarking, "Just a mere Saint Tier Soldier Terracotta Warrior."

However, before Wu Xin's voice faded, suddenly countless flags rose on the city wall, with numerous Soldier Terracotta Warriors standing up.

The once-empty city wall was immediately packed with flags fluttering, swarming with soldiers, crowding the entire city wall.

A rough count showed there were as many as a hundred thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors.

Among them, there were three Venerable Tier oversized terracotta warriors, each over two meters high.

Seeing these terracotta warriors, Wu Xin was shocked. So many soldiers, how could he face them alone?

Immediately, Wu Xin twisted in midair, landing on the arch bridge, and turned to flee.

Just then, a hand wave from one of the Venerable Tier giant terracotta warriors on the city wall caused ten thousand soldiers to raise their hands, bows appearing in them, the strings "buzzing" as ten thousand arrows flew out, turning into a rain of black light, shooting towards Wu Xin.

Wu Xin turned pale with fright, quickly raising his hand, and five thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors appeared behind him, shields raised to fend off the arrows.

The rain of arrows fell like raindrops onto the shields.

Yet the seemingly sturdy shields couldn't withstand a single sharp arrow's attack, shattering instantly into crumbled earth.

As the ten thousand arrows descended, Wu Xin's five thousand soldiers were all pierced into mud, falling apart immediately.

Most of the Soldier Terracotta Warriors tumbled off the arch bridge, plunging into the Magma River below, quickly vaporizing into smoke, disappearing without a trace.

Wu Xin never expected that all his Soldier Terracotta Warriors couldn't withstand even one round of arrow rain.

Originally, these soldiers could have revived, but once they fell into the Magma River, they couldn't be revived at all.

While Wu Xin was momentarily stunned, a second wave of arrows rained down, piercing Wu Xin entirely, making him look like a porcupine.

Wu Xin cried out in pain, his body tumbling and falling off the bridge, with a splash, he plunged into the Magma River, bubbling a few times before disappearing entirely.

Seeing a mighty Demon Saint killed so easily, with no remains left, all the Demon Cultivators frowned.

Venerable Ghost Valley's expression also turned cold.

In fact, the Three Great Demon Venerables had long been here but hadn't advanced recklessly, just to find a scapegoat.

Now having figured out the mechanisms of the second palace gate, they didn't relax, instead, their brows furrowed tighter.

With three Venerable Tier giant terracotta warriors and a hundred thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors, even for the three of them, passing this round would require immense effort.

And this is only the second level, hence they were reluctant to expend too much energy.

Thinking of this, Venerable Ghost Valley coldly addressed the hundreds of Demon Cultivators behind, "We've reached a critical moment; everyone must contribute their Soldier Terracotta Warriors, and we will charge through the second palace gate together."

Upon hearing Venerable Ghost Valley's demand to bring out their Soldier Terracotta Warriors, the crowd inwardly hesitated but, under Venerable Ghost Valley's icy gaze, none dared to defy, obediently bringing out their soldiers.

Venerable Ghost Valley's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on Wang Yan.

"Where are your Soldier Terracotta Warriors?"
