426: The First Tomb Laboratory

As Snake Green's figure swept past the city gate, Chen Heng specifically glanced at the Tang Family Old Ancestor, who was hanging on the city wall, drying in the wind.

Chen Heng had, in the end, shown mercy, only killing the Tang Family Old Ancestor.

As for the remaining members of the Tang Family, Chen Heng merely broke both their legs and let them crawl back.

He just conveniently dug out their menisci.

For these martial artists, while such injuries were not light, crawling back was still not a problem... Ever since Snake Green transformed into a Dragon, she gained the ability to fly, and her speed was extremely fast.

At least much faster than Luo Shuo, that noob Demon Saint.

In just one morning, the group flew from Qiyang City to the original Great Liang Imperial Capital.

The Hundred Corpse Tomb was also quite easy to find; such a large deep pit was visible to anyone with eyes.

After landing, Chen Heng glanced at the several Aristocratic Families gathered around and walked directly towards them.

These Aristocratic Families had naturally witnessed Chen Heng's methods and knew how brutal he was towards Aristocratic Families, so they naturally dared not block Chen Heng.

One by one, they obediently made way, standing to the side with their heads bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

"Follow me," Chen Heng beckoned to Bai Jun and the others, and they followed Chen Heng into the deep pit, whose depth was unknown.

With a dull thud, Chen Heng's feet felt a familiar sensation.

However, unlike other world-suppressing nails where no one was around, it was quite lively here.

Old acquaintances Hong Feng and Hong Lie were standing beside a tall man, saying something.

But as Chen Heng landed, their attention also shifted to Chen Heng.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived!" The tall, robust man leading them was Helian Tie, the current Emperor of Daliang.

"Get out of the way, I don't have time to chat with you," Chen Heng waved his hand. He had no interest whatsoever in who became the Emperor.

...Helian Tie scratched his face awkwardly but still shamelessly followed.

One must know that he relied on Chen Heng to ascend to this throne.

Otherwise, even if he had won the struggle for the throne, he would ultimately not have escaped the fate of being possessed by Helian Jinming.

"Mr. Chen, the matter we discussed before, we have already prepared for it."

Helian Tie didn't pay much attention to Chen Heng's attitude towards him. In his opinion, the fact that Chen Heng didn't immediately punch him to death meant that they could talk.

"Our Helian Royal Family's Divine Artifact will be yours from now on."

"Because I do not intend to let the Monster Refining Method continue to plague the world; this will only lead the Human Race to extinction."

"For Great Liang to prosper, I must..."

"Stop!" Chen Heng raised a hand to halt Helian Tie's desire to continue speaking, turning to look at him with some confusion.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Great Liang is Great Liang, and I am me. You just need to give me that Divine Artifact, whatever it is."

Chen Heng had no interest in Helian Tie's grand ambitions. The only reason he came to crush Helian Jinming was that he had touched someone he shouldn't have.

"Also, take your people and leave immediately. Don't delay my business."

Chen Heng waved his hand, signaling Helian Tie to scram, then he led Bai Jun and the others to the manhole-cover-like door.

After placing the pre-prepared pass into the identification slot, the door opened smoothly.

As expected, the Hundred Corpse Tomb, which was this world-suppressing nail, was being opened for the first time; milky white lights illuminated the entire passage.

"Did you not understand what I said?" Chen Heng turned to the dumbfounded Helian Tie and asked, somewhat displeased.

"Yes, we will leave now." Helian Tie never expected that they had tried countless methods to open this door, but all were ineffective.

Whether it was Anomaly attacks or finding martial artists to assault this place, everything was completely absorbed by the strange Materials here.

When they saw Chen Heng open the door so easily, Helian Tie knew that everything inside had nothing to do with him anymore.

After Helian Tie and the others left dejectedly, Chen Heng led Bai Jun and the others into the world-suppressing nail.

"Such a miraculous creation..." Hui Che, seeing a world-suppressing nail for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim.

"To be buried so deep underground, I truly don't know how the people of the ancient era managed it."

"Tch, no matter how powerful they were, they're all gone now. My master is much stronger than them!"

Hearing Hui Che praise the people of the ancient era so much, Snake Green couldn't help but interject.

Ever since her body shrank, Snake Green's mental age seemed to have shrunk along with it.

She no longer had desire for Chen Heng; only a very strange attachment remained.

Hmm... she probably regarded Chen Heng as her father.

"Benefactor Snake is right, Benefactor Chen is indeed very strong." Hui Che naturally wouldn't argue with Snake Green about these things; he was merely sighing in admiration.

Listening to the two of them taking turns praising him, even Chen Heng's thick skin couldn't help but feel a flush of heat.

"Alright, that's enough," Chen Heng pressed his hands together, signaling them to stop praising him. If they continued, he would become embarrassed.

"Absolutely do not wander off on your own. It's not that it's fraught with danger in here, but once you get lost, you won't be able to get out."

After passing the first fork in the road, Chen Heng saw the familiar, annoying Chinese character signs again.

However, there weren't many signs this time, only five forks.

[Yin-Side Passage]

[Trial Chamber]

[Recording Room]

[Testing Ground]

[Storage Room]

There were no smoke bombs, and no useless forks; this world-suppressing nail seemed different from the others.

Especially that Yin-Side Passage; previous world-suppressing nails didn't have such a thing.

Except for the world-suppressing nail of the Chengtian Empire, it was unknown whether they had dug through the passage or if it was originally a passage leading to the Yin-Side Passage.

Chen Heng could roughly guess what was behind these forks; he had already explored several world-suppressing nails.

"Follow me."

Chen Heng first walked towards the Recording Room; this should be where his Fellow Countryman left information for him.

He didn't know if it would be useful.

Chen Heng wasn't worried about Bai Jun and the others knowing anything; they wouldn't understand anyway.

This time, unlike the previous world-suppressing nails with numerous forks, it was a single path directly to the destination.

This was something Chen Heng hadn't expected.

Standing in front of the Recording Room's door, three questions appeared before Chen Heng's eyes.

Chen Heng was already too lazy to complain about his Fellow Countryman; this person was probably run over by a large truck in his previous life for being a jerk.

After answering the three questions, a big, mischievous smile lit up, and then the door opened.

"Jerk..."

Chen Heng muttered as he walked into the Recording Room.

Pressing the play button, the pitch-black screen instantly lit up.

"Congratulations on finding this place. It seems you have already explored all the world-suppressing nails."

"I guess you must be looking for a way to deal with the Root."

"Listen to your buddy's advice: give up."

"Running away is the best option."
