140: The words must hit the nail on the head.

"Everyone, quiet down and watch the live stream."

Professor Qian also couldn't stand these people's behavior; they were still chattering away, which was incredibly annoying.

The professors saw that both Professor Guo and Professor Qian looked displeased, so none of them spoke.

They all shut their mouths sheepishly, waiting to see Ye Bai's next move.

However, in the next second.

Just as Ye Bai was about to strike again, he heard a furious roar.

"Stop!"

Ye Bai's eyebrows arched slightly as he calmly looked toward the source of the voice.

Then, he saw a Statue slowly emerge from the wall inside the palace, and this Statue was carved with a pair of large eyes.

An outer coffin appeared within the eyes, and its lid was slowly moving.

After the lid moved, a man wearing black finery slowly appeared inside; he wore a golden crown on his head and a sword at his waist.

His aura was even more powerful than that of King Yelang.

But his face had skin like shriveled tree bark, and his mouth was so dry it looked like a swollen sausage.

It gave one the urge to reach out and tear it off upon seeing it.

"I am the King of Ancient Dian. You actually destroyed my Funerary Objects. How bold."

The King of Ancient Dian spoke suddenly, his majestic voice echoing throughout the entire Underground Palace.

Ye Bai acted as if he hadn't seen anything, directly ignoring his words.

But his gaze was scrutinizing the King of Ancient Dian.

His scrutiny seemed like he was searching for something; he kept staring at the King of Ancient Dian's body.

Finally, he made an assessment of the King of Ancient Dian in his heart.

That he was an old geezer who had usurped someone else's nest!

King Yelang had built the Tomb, but in the end, it had benefited him.

Wasn't this exactly what it meant to usurp someone's place?

At the moment the King of Ancient Dian appeared, Yang Mi, Reba, and the others felt their pain decrease significantly, though they weren't sure if it was just an illusion.

At the very least, their pain was no longer as severe.

The metallic, bloody taste in their mouths also seemed to diminish at this time.

They sat on the ground, devoid of strength, feeling as if they had been hollowed out.

They all looked at the King of Ancient Dian in shock.

"So... the one who took over King Yelang's achievements... was the King of Ancient Dian?"

Bai Lu looked at the King of Ancient Dian, her eyes filled with shock.

"It seems so!"

Yang Mi also let out a deep breath, cold sweat dripping down her cheeks.

"I feel much better. What about you guys?"

Zhang Dada touched his palms; it seemed his shoulder didn't hurt as much anymore.

At least it was bearable.

"What's going on? Why is this happening?"

Bai Lu was still dazed, but she also realized one thing: the pain seemed to have lessened after the King of Ancient Dian appeared.

"It's because the King of Ancient Dian came out. Our pain decreased once he appeared."

Cai Xukun was certain of it.

"Is the curse on us related to the King of Ancient Dian? I feel much better since he came out."

Huang Zitao felt a lot more comfortable now.

"Ye Bai drew him out. He intentionally damaged the cultural relics just to lure the King of Ancient Dian out, didn't he?"

At this moment, Meng Ziyi's admiration for Ye Bai grew even more; she looked at his face with a beaming smile.

However, this smile was incredibly weak.

"I understand now why Ye Bai would destroy the relics. Was it for our sake?"

Yang Chaoyue looked deeply at Ye Bai's back, her eyes filled with emotion.

Not only were they dazed, but even the viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned.

[Did I just misunderstand Brother Ye Bai? Is he rescuing Da Mimi and the others? Is that what this means?]

[It seems so! Holy crap! I knew my Brother Ye Bai wasn't the kind of person who lacked a sense of propriety. This is great; I thought Brother Ye Bai had gone crazy.]

[So, is the reason they feel better because the King of Ancient Dian has something on him that can break the curse? Why else would they feel so much better?]

[Who cares! Now that the King of Ancient Dian is out, he needs to be dealt with!]

[Dealt with? The King of Ancient Dian doesn't look like someone to be trifled with. I just realized he's quite greedy for wealth!]

[Greedy for wealth? If you were dead and someone destroyed your Funerary Objects, wouldn't you come out to stop them?]

[I would! Those are the funds for my comeback. Whoever dares touch them, I'll take their life.]

[Wait! Shouldn't your focus be on the King of Ancient Dian himself? He's not dead! He's lived for over a thousand years!!]

[Damn! I was wondering what I forgot, I completely overlooked that.]

The viewers were all shocked now.

Previously, they were shocked by Ye Bai's behavior, but now they were shocked by the King of Ancient Dian... the King of Ancient Dian was actually alive.

Could it be that he had attained eternal life?

When the people from the Archaeology Academy saw the King of Ancient Dian emerge of his own accord, shame was written all over their faces.

They had previously seen Ye Bai destroying relics and thought... but it turned out he did it to lure the King of Ancient Dian out and, in passing, help the celebrities alleviate their pain.

"Do you see now? Ye Bai is not someone who lacks a sense of propriety. Look at how you all acted just now; aren't you ashamed?"

Professor Guo looked at these professors sarcastically.

Feeling Professor Guo's mockery, their faces turned red, and they let out a light cough.

"I didn't expect this King of Ancient Dian to still be alive, and in this state... Could he have attained eternal life?"

One of the professors hurriedly changed the subject, his voice still unable to hide his shock.

As those words were spoken, everyone shifted their attention as well.

"Does the muchen pearl really have the effect of granting eternal life?"

"Looking at this, it seems he succeeded. Doesn't that make it extremely dangerous for Ye Bai and the others?"

"It's over! King Yelang was warning them that it was dangerous inside. Could that danger be this King of Ancient Dian?"

The professors were now making all sorts of guesses.

The more they speculated, the more shocked they became.

Not just them, but even the professors from the School of Biology were stunned.

Is there really someone who has attained eternal life?

He doesn't look like a zombie!

Could he really have attained eternal life?

"Wait, has he really attained eternal life?"

One of the biology professors pointed at the large screen in shock.

Not only were they all dumbfounded.

Even Professor Han and Xiao Song were dumbfounded.

This has already exceeded the scope of normal biology, hasn't it?

This doesn't conform to natural laws; it's unscientific.

"Professor Han, is this real? This can't be real, can it?"

Xiao Song turned his head stiffly, his eyes full of shock.

He just couldn't believe it. Why could this person live for a thousand years?

This isn't real. This absolutely cannot be real, right?

Professor Han was also dumbfounded and still couldn't understand why the King of Ancient Dian could live so long. It wasn't normal.

Could that muchen pearl really have such a great effect?

"Does the muchen pearl really have the power to resurrect the dead and grant eternal life?"
