Chapter 1247 1158: Nowhere to Move

Everyone followed Venerable Ghost Valley's gaze, looking at Wang Yan.

Sure enough, they saw hundreds or thousands of Soldier Terracotta Warriors in front of everyone, but Wang Yan had nothing in front of him.

Seeing Venerable Ghost Valley staring at him, Wang Yan frowned. If he were to fall out with him now, although he could retreat unscathed before the Three Great Demon Venerable, the treasures within the second palace gate would be out of his reach.

Furthermore, Wang Yan speculated from the map he obtained that the mystery of crafting techniques of the Soldier Terracotta Warriors might very well be inside the second palace hall.

Therefore, Wang Yan instantly decided not to reveal his cultivation yet.

Wang Yan raised his head, glanced at Venerable Ghost Valley, and said, "Venerable, because I exhausted all my Soldier Terracotta Warriors in the previous palace layer, I have none left with me now."

Wang Yan was fully familiar with everything about the Great Qin Empire at this point, so this reason was completely logical and no one could pick a fault with it.

"Is that true?" Venerable Ghost Valley snorted coldly.

Wang Yan gave a faint smile, casually placing his hand on Luo Yuan's shoulder in front of him and said, "Of course it's true, Governor Luo Yuan can testify for me."

As Wang Yan placed his palm down, Luo Yuan felt a powerful force pressing immediately onto his shoulder, currently it was only throbbing in Wang Yan's palm, but once it descended, Luo Yuan reckoned he wouldn't survive.

Right then, Luo Yuan could only grit his teeth and said, "Venerable, he's right, I can testify."

Seeing Luo Yuan dare speak on behalf of Wang Yan in front of Venerable Ghost Valley, everyone found it strange.

Given Luo Yuan's opportunistic nature, how come he's changed today? Becoming so loyal?

What Wang Yan said made sense, plus having Luo Yuan as a witness, Venerable Ghost Valley could not force Wang Yan.

But he snorted coldly, saying, "Hmph, I'll believe your Soldiers Terracotta Warriors are all exhausted for now, but if yours are exhausted and mine are exhausted, who will assault the second palace gate? Is everyone going to sit there waiting for others to assault, waiting for a windfall?"

Wang Yan smiled faintly, saying, "What does the venerable suggest?"

Venerable Ghost Valley said, "Since you have no Soldier Terracotta Warriors, you will take the lead, but don't worry, I'll command all the Soldier Terracotta Warriors here to support you."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads secretly, convinced that Wang Yan was doomed.

Venerable Ghost Valley spoke nicely, saying all the Soldier Terracotta Warriors would support Wang Yan, but this support was not really assistance.

So-called support was more likely standing behind Wang Yan, forcing him to advance.

In front were a hundred thousand guard Soldier Terracotta Warriors, behind were tens of thousands overseer Soldier Terracotta Warriors, Wang Yan was in a dead end!

Yet, Wang Yan simply smiled faintly, saying, "No problem, I'm willing to take the lead."

Upon hearing Wang Yan agree so readily, Venerable Ghost Valley was stunned; he originally planned to kill Wang Yan to assert his dominance if Wang Yan refused.

But seeing Wang Yan agree, Venerable Ghost Valley immediately sneered coldly, saying, "Alright, then please proceed."

Wang Yan looked at Luo Yuan, saying, "I share a brotherly bond with Brother Luo Yuan, he wouldn't watch me go alone, you will definitely help me, right?"

With these words, Wang Yan lightly patted the palm on Luo Yuan's shoulder.

To others, this seemed like an affectionate gesture, but Luo Yuan was frightened pale.

Only he knew what Wang Yan's hand represented.

Not to go, meant death.

So, Luo Yuan dared not hesitate, immediately nodding firmly.

Seeing this, everyone around sighed deeply; in this world where the strong prey upon the weak, there still existed such sincere feelings!

Wang Yan and Luo Yuan walked forward to the arch bridge, looking toward the opposite city wall.

Staring at the Soldier Terracotta Warriors with bows on the wall, Luo Yuan was already trembling in fear.

Forcing himself to grit his teeth, Luo Yuan turned, his six thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors immediately rushed toward the arch bridge.

Luo Yuan also intended to follow behind these Soldier Terracotta Warriors to charge toward the second palace gate.

The six thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors neatly rushed onto the arch bridge and attacked the city gate.

After they got onto the arch bridge, the Soldier Terracotta Warriors with bows on the wall did not move at all, allowing them to reach the city gate.

But as soon as the Soldier Terracotta Warriors reached the gate, three thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors immediately rushed out from the gate, fighting with the six thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors, turning the area in front of the gate into chaos.

Realizing his Soldier Terracotta Warriors had the advantage in numbers, Luo Yuan hurriedly attempted to charge toward the city gate.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan's hand on Luo Yuan's shoulder pressed slightly, stopping Luo Yuan.

Perplexed, Luo Yuan looked at Wang Yan, seeing Wang Yan's eyes fixed on the scene at the city gate, calmly saying, "Have you noticed that your Soldier Terracotta Warriors and the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors are quite different?"

Angrily, Luo Yuan thought this was prime attacking time, why was Wang Yan still interested in idle chat? What was the difference to him?

But Luo Yuan knew Wang Yan was not someone he could provoke, so he could only force a smile saying, "I don't know, what's the difference?"

Wang Yan said, "Your Soldier Terracotta Warriors are cruder than the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors."

Hearing this, Luo Yuan nearly twisted his nose in anger.

Surely it was reckless, caring now about refinement or not.

But then Wang Yan continued, "The more refined they are, the stronger their attack power; these Soldier Terracotta Warriors are stronger than yours."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Luo Yuan paused, suddenly remembering Wu Xin's five thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors couldn't even withstand one round of attacks; could the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors be different from ordinary Soldier Terracotta Warriors?

Luo Yuan quickly scrutinized and compared his own Soldier Terracotta Warriors with those of the guards; although both were earthy gray, the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors had bright armor and delicate faces, indeed more refined.

Within this brief conversation time, Luo Yuan's six thousand Soldier Terracotta Warriors had been smashed by the three thousand guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors, and were thrown into the Magma River to become ash as the attacking Soldier Terracotta Warriors were about to revitalize.

At this moment, Luo Yuan was immediately relieved he hadn't charged across the arch bridge with the Soldier Terracotta Warriors, or he'd be surrounded as soon as they all died.

Just then, Venerable Ghost Valley shouted, "You two hurry up and attack, don't waste time."

Luo Yuan's legs were trembling with fear, with no Soldier Terracotta Warriors left, advancing would be certain death.

Helplessly, Luo Yuan glanced at Wang Yan, uncertain of what to do.

But Wang Yan remained calm, completely ignoring Venerable Ghost Valley, instead asking Luo Yuan, "Tell me, why are the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors refined and strong, while yours so crude and weak?"

Luo Yuan's mind was already muddled, instinctively answering, "Probably a different refining skill."

Hearing Luo Yuan's reply, a smile crept onto Wang Yan's face, saying, "So it is."

Though he said no more, Wang Yan was internally elated.

The strength of the guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors indicated that within Qinrong Palace, the refinement skill for Soldier Terracotta Warriors surpassed that of the Great Qin Empire.

At this point, Venerable Ghost Valley angrily shouted, "Did you two hear me? If you don't attack soon, I'll throw you into the Magma River."

Then Wang Yan smiled faintly, saying, "I've thought it all through; we can move forward now."

Seeing Wang Yan's confident demeanor, Luo Yuan's heart was like a struggling water bucket, having ups and downs.

Though his legs were limp, he was pushed to the arch bridge by Wang Yan.

But just then, the three thousand guarding Soldier Terracotta Warriors that rushed out from the city gate walked onto the arch bridge.

On the three arch bridges, Soldier Terracotta Warriors stood densely packed, blocking the way.
