The entrance to the palace!
As the System's prompt sounded, a white Level 3 treasure chest suddenly appeared beside Lu Yao, guarded by a Skeleton Lieutenant.
Unexpectedly, the treasure chest spawned right at his feet.
Without a word, Lu Yao directly eliminated the Skeleton Lieutenant, opened the Level 3 white treasure chest, and obtained 1 Low-Grade Spirit Stone!
Additionally, the Map showed prompts for a green treasure chest on both the left and right sides.
There was no one on the left, but there were seven or eight people on the right.
Everyone had been teleported to the Inner City, making it somewhat crowded.
Lu Yao pondered for a few seconds before going to the right to retrieve the treasure chest first. A few Undead also discovered that green treasure chest, but upon seeing Lu Yao approach, they were so scared that they immediately fled, instantly losing any desire to contend for the treasure chest.
Lu Yao's audacious actions at the Inner City's west gate had now spread throughout the entire area.
Everyone avoided him, fearing that if they weren't careful, their lives would be lost.
After successfully obtaining the treasure chest on the right, Lu Yao quickly went to the left to retrieve the treasure chest.
Upon reaching the destination, the Map detected another treasure chest.
"So many treasure chests have appeared all at once; it seems there are still quite a few stragglers in the Outer City."
Lu Yao quickly rushed over and opened the treasure chest.
For the next hour or so, everyone was frantically searching for treasure chests, and most of them had someGains.
However, everyone was crowded in the Inner City, and the treasure chests were quickly cleared out.
"Master, where are you now?"
Lina, with a Map in hand, could be said to have reaped a considerable harvest.
Moreover, she had two items that her Master could use, so she was eager to find her Master and claim credit.
On the other side, Mahi and Qin Yimo also gained a lot.
Just like yesterday, no matter what they found, Qin Yimo and Mahi split it evenly, and their points were steadily rising.
As for Qin Rao, his treasure hunting never disappointed Lu Yao.
Treasure chests that others couldn't find, he found every single one. In just over two hours, he opened sixteen treasure chests, almost catching up to Lu Yao. Although they were all white and green treasure chests, he also obtained many good things.
"Master, there shouldn't be anything left in the Inner City. I see them all gathering towards the direction of the Imperial Palace. They must have discovered something there. Should we go too?" Mahi said.
Lu Yao also realized this; through his Divine Sense, he felt that everyone was basically converging towards the central area, which was where the Imperial Palace was located.
"The Imperial Palace only has one entrance; let's gather at the entrance," Lu Yao said.
"Boss, I'll be there soon," Qin Rao was already on his way to the Imperial Palace entrance.
More than ten minutes later, Qin Rao sent another message,
"Boss, there are already quite a few people gathered in the Imperial City Plaza at the entrance. Look..."
He sent an image, showing groups of three or five, a dense crowd of about a thousand people in the plaza.
Moreover, many more people were still rushing towards this location from all directions.
People from various races had basically arrived, with the Human Race being the most numerous, of course.
From what they had discovered so far, most people were organized. The Human Race had nine Alliances, in addition to the Angel Clan, Demon Race, Undead Clan, Earth Spirit Clan, Hu Ren Race, and Werewolf Clan.
Of course, there were also some Loose Cultivators like Lu Yao who were unwilling to join others. They kept their distance from these groups, appearing extra cautious.
"Where are you? I'll be there in three minutes," Lina asked.
"Under the ornamental column on the left," Qin Rao replied.
A few minutes later, Lina, Mahi, and Qin Yimo arrived almost simultaneously and spotted Qin Rao at a glance.
After all, everyone else was in groups, and Qin Rao was by himself, making him easy to find.
As the three of them appeared, they immediately attracted many people's attention.
"Wow, such beautiful Angel twins."
"That Human Race girl is also good; she's my type."
Individual groups nearby immediately let out whistles. However, they were quickly warned by their companions.
"Are you crazy? You dare to even think about them!"
"Why so nervous? They're just a few Loose Cultivators. Could it be that the Angel Clan will back them up?"
At these words, his companion immediately looked at him with disdain and pulled away,
"If you want to die, stay far away from us. Don't drag us down."
"Brother, those are Lord Lu Yao's maids. If you think your life is too long, you can go challenge the Imperial Palace guards. There's no need to drag everyone down here."
"Holy crap!"
Upon hearing that, the person quickly shut up and, with his companions, distanced himself from Qin Yimo and the others.
Although a group of Little Rascals also recognized the identities of Qin Yimo and the others, they only dared to glare at them with resentful eyes, not daring to lay a hand on them.
"That's Gannix, the Clan Chief of the Angel Clan. He's so handsome!"
"He exudes an incredibly warm Qi from head to toe. How wonderful it would be to be his girlfriend."
Suddenly, the scene became restless, and some Human Race girls, regardless of their nationality, became infatuated.
A golden-haired, majestic man walked out, surrounded by the Angel Clan.
His handsome face and powerful Qi instantly captured the hearts of countless young girls.
"Is that Gannix?"
Lina pouted, "He's far inferior to Master."
Although she was from the Angel Clan, it was her first time seeing Gannix.
"Oh, his Qi seems to have grown stronger," Qin Rao suddenly said.
More than an hour ago, he had seen Gannix fighting at the Inner City's east gate. At that time, Gannix was at Qi Refining Fourth Stage. Now, it seemed he had reached Qi Refining Fifth Stage.
He thought Lu Yao was still at Qi Refining Second Stage, so he quickly sent this message to Lu Yao.
Soon, another handsome man, but one who exuded a gloomy Yin Qi, walked over, surrounded by a group of Demon Race members.
"That's... Pi Lu Lu, the Demon Race Clan Chief. What terrifying Qi."
"His strength, could it have surpassed Gannix's?"
"They should be about the same, but the Ghost City's Yin Qi has an amplification effect on the Demon Race. If they were to fight, Gannix would likely be at a disadvantage."
The two Clan Chiefs, under everyone's gaze, walked to the center of the plaza.
"We finally meet, Gannix."
Pi Lu Lu spoke first.
They came from different districts but both from the Ten Thousand Spirits Continent. The two of them were already in opposing factions when they were on the Ten Thousand Spirits Continent.
Therefore, as soon as they met, a strong smell of gunpowder erupted between them.
"Clan Chief Pi Lu Lu, this time, neither of us seems to be the protagonist," Gannix said with a slight smile.
At these words, Pi Lu Lu's sharpness was immediately diffused.
Pi Lu Lu immediately spread out his Divine Sense to sense, and said in a condensed voice, "He hasn't arrived yet."
"The Imperial Palace guard is a Peak Tier 2 ghost. Do you have any ideas?" Gannix asked.
However, Pi Lu Lu quickly retreated a few steps, looking at Gannix with a wary expression, and said, "If you want to die, don't drag me into it. I'm just here to watch the show."
A Peak Tier 2 ghost, he definitely had ideas.
But as soon as he thought of that killing god, his ideas instantly vanished.
