This scene made people think that the Evil Dragon Palace's team had killed them. Only the Evil Dragon Palace's team had the strength to kill one of the teams in such a short period of time.
The True Martial Emperor Palace's team heard the commotion and came over. However, they did not approach. Instead, they stood on a roof a kilometer away and observed the commotion. With their pride, they disdained to stay with others.
Everyone looked at the five people lying on the ground. It was too horrible to look at. Then, they looked at the Evil Dragon Palace's team angrily. Many people started shouting.
"What's going on? They actually killed them. Didn't we make a peace treaty?"
"Is the peace treaty bullsh * t?"
"We've agreed before that whoever makes a move will be joined by the other teams to kill the one who makes a move. The situation is very clear now. What are you all waiting for?"
Even the people from the Ancient Yuan Spirit World and the Desolate Ancient Thunder Reservoir had gloomy expressions. The leader of the Ancient Yuan Spirit World's team, Yuan Xiaozhou, walked up. His kind expression turned serious as he asked, "Can you all give us an explanation? Why did you kill them? What enmity did they have with the three of you?"
Saying that, he changed the topic and revealed his killing intent, "If the three of you turn a blind eye to the peace treaty, then we will have to fulfill our previous agreement and join hands to punish the three of you."
There were six teams present. The True Martial Emperor Palace's team had also agreed to the peace treaty. If they also agreed to kill the Evil Dragon Palace's team, then Long Chen's team would not be able to escape.
The others also came forward and looked at Long Chen's team with killing intent, especially the weaker ones. They had always lived in fear, but the Evil Dragon Palace's team had set a precedent by killing them first … …
Long Chen had no intention of getting entangled with them. He said, "Take a good look at their injuries. Don't falsely accuse others without knowing anything. Who said we killed them?"
Everyone was skeptical. They immediately turned around and looked at the injuries of the five people. At this time, the wounds on their foreheads had expanded and gradually turned their heads into a gray liquid. Their corpses began to melt.
Yuan Xiaozhou of the Ancient Yuan Spirit Domain narrowed his eyes and said, "We haven't seen this kind of method before, so we don't know who did it. But what kind of joke is this? There are only seven of us here. When we arrived, you all stayed here. Who else could it be?"
So did the others.
"Can't you guys have some brains? Isn't he still holding onto the Gold Token? If we wanted to kill him, would we still be here waiting for you fellows to catch us?"
Long Chen looked at them in disgust. This was especially true for Yuan Xiaozhou. At first, he was kind, but now he was clearly taking the opportunity to target Long Chen's group.
Everyone started to make a ruckus. Yuan Xiaozhou opened his arms and stopped everyone from talking. His handsome face was incomparably solemn as he said, "Everyone, quiet down. Listen to his explanation. You said that you guys aren't the culprit, but since you came here first, you must have seen who the culprit was. You want to say that there are other people in the ruins."
Long Chen was arrogant in his heart and couldn't be bothered to say more. He said, "You will know very soon whether there are other people or not."
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them. Just as he was about to leave, the people from the Ancient Yuan Spirit Domain and the Desolate Ancient Thunder Pool blocked his way and coldly said, "Today's matter is not explained clearly. No one is allowed to leave unless you dare to face our six teams alone. Long Chen, people can't be as arrogant as you. Tell me, who did it?"
Both sides confronted each other, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong. Li Xuanji's pretty face was cold as she said, "One of the ten great ghost kings. He was in human form, wearing tattered armor, and there were iron chains on his body. They died because the iron chains pierced through the space between their eyebrows."
Hearing Li Xuanji's words, everyone suddenly felt a chill. Looking at the five corpses, it was very similar to what Li Xuanji had described. They also knew about the ten great ghost kings, but it was almost a legend …
Everyone wavered between believing and not believing. They were afraid and chose not to believe it. After all, it was a legend and might not necessarily exist. But now that the ghost race was rioting, it was very normal for the ten great ghost kings to appear …
At this time, Huang Yu from the True Martial Emperor Palace spoke. He said, "Everyone, be more careful. If the ten great ghost kings really come to the ruins of the Tiewei Mountain, everyone will die. We will not accompany you anymore."
Clearly, the True Martial Emperor Palace's team believed what Long Chen said.
The others looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
"If the ten great ghost kings really come, we should hurry and hide …"
"Yeah, we can't gamble our lives here." Looking at the five corpses on the ground, everyone felt their blood run cold.
The people from the Ancient Yuan Spirit World and the Ancient Desolate Thunder Pool looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. The True Martial Emperor Palace's team had already left. They had to pay a price to deal with the Evil Dragon Palace's team. Now was not a good time to fight.
Hence, Yuan Xiaozhou said, "In any case, we can't get out of here. I want to see if the Ten Great Ghost Kings are really here. If we don't see them in three days, the teams that should be judged will still be judged. No matter what, in order to avoid chaos, we have to strictly follow the rules. Now that everyone has fallen here, we should help each other instead of thinking about those treasures."
Everyone was convinced and agreed with Yuan Xiaozhou.
"Then what about your gold token?" suddenly, a martial artist from the Solar Divine World asked.
Yuan Xiaozhou glanced at the corpse and said, "Whoever killed them will take the token. In any case, it's not the Ancient Yuan Spirit World's team."
After saying that, they looked deeply at Long Chen. The group of handsome young men and women turned around and left arrogantly. The five men from the Ancient Desolate Thunder Pool patted their chests and said, "The people were not killed by the Ancient Desolate Thunder Pool. Everyone, please go ahead."
After saying that, they also left.
Long Chen sneered in his heart. He thought to himself, "The fox's tail is finally showing. You won't take the gold token now. You will only take it after all the teams have been destroyed."
The Evil Dragon Palace's team followed Long Chen and left as well. The remaining three teams looked at each other. One of the martial artists from the Solar Divine World said, "Brothers, let's go. This has nothing to do with us."
Since the Solar Divine World had left, the remaining two teams did not dare to take the gold token. They hurriedly left. When the five corpses turned into liquid, the gold token was left alone.
An hour later, a martial artist from the Solar Divine World rushed over. He looked left and right. After confirming that there was no one around, he hurriedly took the token and fled.
In the darkness, the people from the Ancient Yuan Spirit World and the Ancient Desolate Thunder Pool laughed.
"The True Martial Emperor Palace and the Evil Dragon Palace's team both have peak experts. Although we are not weak, we will be greatly weakened if we fight them. Looks like we can only deal with them one by one."
"The True Martial Emperor Palace's team has already entered the depths of the ruins. Let's deal with the Evil Dragon Palace's team first. As long as we can trap Mo Xiaolang and kill the other two first, there will be no problem."
"That's true. There are six tokens in total. Each team will take three. We will cooperate to the end. Anyway, there are three treasures."
"Eight teams gathered here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity …"
"Right, the Ten Great Ghost Kings that Long Chen and the others mentioned."
"You actually believe that?"
… … …
Due to the appearance of the Ten Great Ghost Kings, Long Chen decided to find a place to settle down first. It seemed like the plaza was the best. That was because it was a spacious place that wouldn't give that ghostly thing an opportunity to attack.
That ghostly thing was very strange. It had been following Long Chen all this time, but it had never ambushed Long Chen's team. Every time, it scared them even more. No one knew what it was thinking.
After returning to the plaza, Long Chen's team was about to find a corner to hide in. Suddenly, he saw something in the white skeleton's hand in the center of the dried up pool.
That thing's aura was too obvious. It couldn't hide from Long Chen.
Because it was the aura of a dragon …
Without saying a word, Long Chen led the other two to the skeleton. When they saw the thing in the skeleton's hand, Long Chen's team was stunned.
They clearly remembered that the skeleton had never held anything in its hand.
During the time they were gone, no other teams had come here.
In that case, what was up with this dark purple dragon scale?
That's right. The thing that the skeleton statue was hugging was a dark purple dragon scale. This dragon scale was shrouded in a turbulent demonic aura. The domineering aura that made one's soul tremble was released in all directions.
Above the dragon scale, the purple mist condensed into the shape of a long purple dragon. It stared at the intruders before transforming back into the purple mist.
"This … should be the scale of the Purple-Blood Demonic Dragon. The Purple-Blood Demonic Dragon is similar to the Red-horned Demonic Dragon. It can be considered a more similar type of Dragons. However, its murderous aura is stronger than the Red-horned Demonic Dragon's, and its combat power is comparable to the Nine-winged Skydragon's."
Kitten's chubby head popped out of the Great Void Realm in shock. He stared blankly at the scale of the Purple-Blood Demonic Dragon and shouted, "Who placed this here? Isn't this specially prepared for you?"
Long Chen's body trembled as he quickly used his Soul Eye Technique to scan his surroundings. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be anyone suspicious within a five-kilometer radius. There were three possibilities. The first possibility was that the Ghost King of the Ten Great Ghost Kings had been following Long Chen's team and had placed this scale there. This was unlikely. That Ghost King definitely hated Long Chen. Furthermore, he didn't seem to have any intelligence. Why would he do such a thing?
The second possibility was that there was another expert that Long Chen's Soul Eye Technique couldn't detect.
