Chapter 973: Crypt
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Although Wang Tiangang felt many emotions inside him, he managed to adjust his attitude quickly and well.
After Fang Xingjian beca a target that was hard for them to surpass, he also beca their greatest pillar of support—soone they wanted to curry favor with.
It could be said that due to Fang Xingjian’s existence, the Conferred Knights and Knights from the Great Western Region Regional Academy’s faction made up half the military and political system.
Wang Tiangang also benefited from this as he went on to take up a cushy job in the Eastern Sand Region. He had over 30 Conferred Knights working under him, and each of his actions could decide the prosperity or demise of countless clans in the Eastern Sand Region.
His past self would never have imagined that he would gain the authority he had today.
All these things ca from this man standing before him.
At the thought of this, he bent down even more humbly. “Sir, what instructions do you have? I’ll send people to get it done imdiately.”
“There’s no need to trouble other people. I’ll leave in a while,” Fang Xingjian said while shaking his head. Then after scanning Wang Tiangang’s body with his martial will, he remarked calmly, “Demigod with one tier of perfection? Not bad.”
“It’s all thanks to Sir’s nurturing,” Wang Tiangang said respectfully.
Fang Xingjian flicked his finger slightly, and a stream of blood light gushed into the treasured sword that Wang Tiangang had been refining earlier.
The level 29 Superior Divine Weapon suddenly trembled intensely after receiving the reinforcent from the blood light. Unexpectedly, there was a faint wave of Divine martial will.
At the sight of this, how could Wang Tiangang not figure out that Fang Xingjian intended to help him? Wang Tiangang imdiately half-knelt down and said happily, “Thank you for your help, Sir!”
“It’s just sothing done in passing,” Fang Xingjian stated calmly. “How many people have entered the forbidden ground in the past half a month?”
Wang Tiangang did not dare conceal anything and replied outright, “Most of the wild Knights from various factions have been blocked out by us, but there were so officials from the Imperial Capital who entered directly.
“There were also so Demigods who have a high level of cultivation but didn’t dare to openly enter out of fear of your reputation. They have probably also perford infiltration arts and gone in to take a look.
“I estimate that there have been around 30 people who entered the forbidden grounds.”
“There are people with extraordinary talents in the world. So of them have a higher level of cultivation than you, and they even excel in infiltration arts. I won’t bla you for being unable to detect them or stop them,” Fang Xingjian said with a nod. Then he frowned and asked, “But it was a long ti ago that I gave out the order to forbid anyone from entering. Who were the ones from the Imperial Capital? Whose orders were they under?”
Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, Wang Tiangang’s countenance imdiately turned extrely pale. He knelt down, lowered his head all the way to the ground, and said nervously, “It’s... It was the several Lords from the East Military Execution Order. They said that they ca under the East Military Execution Order’s command to investigate the situation in the forbidden grounds.”
Hearing Wang Tiangang’s words, Fang Xingjian let out a cold laugh and did not reply. He rely thought inwardly, ‘I didn’tt expect for there to already be signs of depravation in the managent when it hasn’t been long since I took over the Empire.
‘After I head back this ti around, it’s ti to kill a batch of people. Otherwise, so people may really think that they can do as they wish.’
Wang Tiangang knelt on the ground, trembling. After answering a few more questions about the forbidden grounds and then not hearing Fang Xingjian’s reply after a very long ti passed by, he waited for another ten or so minutes before getting back up slowly. Fang Xingjian was already nowhere to be seen.
With a few flashes, Fang Xingjian had entered the forbidden grounds, arriving in a mountain valley at the center of the forbidden ground.
Based on the rumors, this was where the treasures were located. Additionally, according to the information provided by the Immortality Saint, this was where the demonic figure Yu Zi 1 —one of the Plenary Foundation Septet—had been sealed.
Fang Xingjian scanned the entire valley with his martial will, then his brows raised a little. ‘What a strong sll of blood... Based on what Wang Tiangang said, there shouldn’t be such serious massacres here.’
At the thought of this, he took a step forward and entered spatial gaps. He seed to have beco a formless existence, instantly going underground.
He could sense through his martial will that there was a huge empty cave ten ters under the valley. It should be where that demonic figure had been sealed up.
As he passed through spatial gaps and crossing rocky terrain and layers of soil, endless stretches of darkness swept by. Fang Xingjian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he appeared inside a crypt.
A strong sll of blood ca gushing forth instantly, and Fang Xingjian looked at the corpses under his feet with a grim countenance. Judging by the numbers before him, there was no way there were just 30 people.
The number of people who had barged into the crypt probably far exceeded Wang Tiangang’s estimation.
However, the people who had the ability to barge into this place would naturally be those that Wang Tiangang was unable to discover. Then, even if they were to go missing, who would be able to know that they had died in this crypt that was ten ters underground?
‘This isn’t right...’ Fang Xingjian lowered his head and threw a glance at the corpses under his feet. He frowned. ‘Many of these corpses are just Knights. Moreover, no matter how weak Wang Tiangang is, he is already a Demigod. One would need to be at least a Demigod to be able to escape his senses and barge into this crypt.’
At the thought of this, Fang Xingjian understood that sothing was amiss in this situation. With a single thought, he stepped out from the spatial gaps. Going through the passageways, he entered deep into the crypt.
‘There is no hostility.
‘There’s nothing from my Sudden Inspiration either.
‘Does he not detect despite all these?
‘Or has he already left?’
Fang Xingjian’s gaze swept across the crypt’s stone slabs, and he thought, ‘It’s the sa as what the Immortality Saint said. In order to seal the demonic figure and prevent his martial will from probing out, they used demonic gold that can prevent martial will from being transmitted out.’
His palm brushed the stone slabs under his feet and the walls beside him. All of them were made from demonic gold. Fang Xingjian also gained a slight understanding of the structure of this material.
‘This is similar to the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique’s material. It’s no wonder that they can prevent radiations and electromagnetic waves. The material can also prevent probings from martial will.
‘Was it created by Saint Adam?
‘For there to be such a great amount... It ans that his energy storage and grasp of the microscopic world...’
Judging from just the material used to construct the crypt, Fang Xingjian already had a faint sense of just how great Saint Adam’s level of mastery had been in his cultivation 1,000 years ago.
Even Fang Xingjian would not be able to scan the entire plan with his martial will without performing violent ans to change the structure of this place. Consequently, he could only walk over.
On the way, he discovered that the entire place was filled with traces of massacres. Many Knights and Conferred Knights had been on a rampage, killing everyone else in this crypt. They seed to have forgotten the reason why they had co to this place, and even at the point right before their deaths, they still had expressions of madness.
Fang Xingjian squat down and touched a Conferred Knight’s corpse. All the essence, energy, and ether particles in the corpse had been drawn out completely.
The entire corpse had almost beco an empty shell. The bones which could have been used to forge Superior Divine Weapons were now no different than those of ordinary people.
‘The fights between them were used to draw out the powers from these Conferred Knights...?’
Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the passageway before him.
“Soone’s coming over?”
