123: Chapter 123 Will-o'-the-wisps appear, the Queen awakens

Tan Wei, however, was already feeling a bit creeped out by the insults from these two idiots.

"Damn it! You really think I'm a kitten just because this tiger hasn't bared its claws!"

He angrily raised his blade and rushed forward again, and they were once more locked in a tangled fight.

Meanwhile, the people inside the palace were also startled by the battles between these two groups.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It's truly a clash of the titans!"

Fatty marveled with a click of his tongue, shaking his head slightly from time to time.

Lin Tianyi, however, reminded them,

"Stop worrying about what's happening over there. Our priority right now is to hurry up and open the coffin.

According to the clan's records, the tuo luo flower should be inside the Queen's coffin.

When the coffin is open, you grab it as fast as you can."

"Heh! Just you watch!"

Fatty grinned, and then the four of them began to push the coffin lid together.

But the very moment they started pushing,

The light inside the Queens Palace suddenly dimmed significantly,

And the plaza outside the palace darkened along with it.

It should have been broad daylight with plenty of light,

But in the blink of an eye, it had already turned into dusk.

Eerie green ghost fires began to float up from all directions.

A ghostly wind swept in, making everyone feel as if they were wrapped in a chilling frost.

Fatty's hands suddenly went weak.

"My god! What's going on? We just touched the coffin! We haven't even reached inside yet, and it's already trying to stop us?"

"Quiet,"

Lin Tianyi scolded in a low voice. He could now sense something unusual inside the coffin.

It was an aura of life, not death!

'The Queen is alive?? But how is that possible!'

He couldn't believe it in his heart,

But in the next second, a sound of weeping that gradually drove one's mind toward insanity swept in from all directions.

"Wuuuuu——"

"Wuuuuu——"

"My life is so miserable!! I'm so miserable!"

The voice was very obscure, speaking a language that had never been heard before,

But when the sound entered the ears, one could instantly understand its meaning.

Fatty let go abruptly, his eyes wide as he looked around frantically.

"What's happening! Why is someone crying! Why is someone crying!"

"Calm down! This might not be real!"

Lin Tianyi said with a grave expression,

"We must open this coffin, not just for our clansmen,

But also to uncover the secrets of the forbidden land!"

"Understood!"

Wang Shan looked uncomfortable, but she still gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.

As for Fatty, he stomped his feet and tried hard not to think about the voice before rejoining the effort to push the coffin lid.

But just then, Zhang Qilin let go. He drew his black gold ancient blade and faced a certain direction.

"You guys continue, I'll hold it off."

"Xiao Ge!"

Fatty was startled, immediately realizing that something seemed to have appeared over there.

In the next second, Zhang Qilin charged out with an explosive step.

"Damn Fatty!! Don't worry about it! Hurry!!"

Lin Tianyi roared and pushed with all his might.

...

In the comment section,

[Holy crap! Holy crap!! What on earth is about to happen!]

[Can opening this coffin really reveal the secrets of the forbidden land?]

[God knows! Anyway, I just feel like everything will be fine as long as they don't listen to those Penglai people!]

[Exactly, always talking about Penglai this and Penglai that, it's so annoying!]

[But to be fair! Song Yiqing was a bit reckless. Charging in to fight like that, it's really hard to win!]

[True, those two Penglai people could kill a Flood Dragon Python and a Giant Ground Sloth,]

[And now another monster has appeared. It's over, it's over, this wave is really dangerous!]

At the same time,

The Flying Tiger Archaeological Expedition Team had already passed through the Blood City and entered the vicinity of the royal palace.

However, the intensity of the battle made it impossible for them to get anywhere near.

At this moment, Fei Erfeng turned back to look at Xue Xingye.

"Go help!"

"Huh??"

Hearing this, Xue Xingye immediately balked.

"How can I help? Who can win in a situation like this!"

"Useless,"

Fei Erfeng frowned and turned his head back in disgust.

Watching his reaction, a fire of rage began to simmer inside Xue Xingye.

'Damn old geezer, you won't go in when it's dangerous, but you want me to? You think you're so damn great!'

Then, the voice of the Blue-faced Buddha Man echoed in his mind,

"Kill the old geezer. This poor monk finds him very unpleasant too. If we kill him, we can seize his spirit and strengthen ourselves!!

We will surely become stronger!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Quick! Quick!!"

Voices like nightmare whispers kept echoing in his ears, trying to tempt him.

But in the next second, Yi Menglian's voice sounded beside him,

"Xingye, don't mind him. The Professor is just anxious."

"I..."

The boiling frenzy within Xue Xingye was suppressed in an instant.

He looked at Yi Menglian, whose appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, yet he felt a strange fluttering in his heart.

It was enough to make Xue Xingye directly block out the voice of the Blue-faced Buddha Man in his mind.

Suddenly, at that moment,

Song Yiqing, standing on the plaza, let out a sudden roar,

"Sword, come!——"

Instantly, six Flying Swords trailing light surrounded Hou Kun, forming the Wuliang Sword Array.

As the Sword Qi surged, Song Yiqing grabbed one of the swords with one hand and suddenly released his Sword Heart, causing his Sword Intent to skyrocket.

In the next second!

A burst of Sword Qi that seemed capable of tearing through space was suddenly released!!

Hou Kun's face was extremely grim. He had originally wanted to persuade them to stop to avoid a fierce battle,

As he didn't think he would lose if it really came to a fight.

But after this exchange, he deeply realized how terrifying Song Yiqing was.

The opponent seemed to have an endless supply of trump cards, constantly drawing out sword after sword.

With every additional sword, his destructive power skyrocketed.

At first, he could still contend with him,

But by the end, he was being completely suppressed!

Not just him, but Tan Wei on the side had also been suppressed by Wang Xianzhi's sword techniques,

And was in an extremely passive state.

"Damn it!! Damn it!!"

Hou Kun roared, then gritted his teeth, tore open a wound, and bit down hard, ripping off a piece of flesh.

The moment the flesh entered his mouth,

The Qi throughout his body surged upward!

With a single punch, he forcefully withstood the Sword Qi that Song Yiqing had swung down.

Boom!!

The shockwave kicked up clouds of dust, further reducing visibility in the already dim environment.

But what truly made everyone's hearts tremble was the sound of a massive coffin lid hitting the ground.

Thud!

In the next second, the dim light became even darker.

All the fighting stopped simultaneously in a moment of mutual understanding.

The green ghost fires from all directions began to float toward the Queens Palace until they hovered over the opened coffin.

Then, a pair of withered, bone-like hands reached out.
