Blizzard Palace!
When he heard Ao Feng and Zhao Deng say this place in unison, Qinchuan couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the Blizzard Palace?"
Hearing Qinchuan's question, Ao Feng explained to Qinchuan, "The Blizzard Palace is a palace of the Great Emperor in Blizzard City. It got its name because of the perennial snow. Usually, the Great Emperor likes to enjoy the snowy scenery in the Blizzard Palace. Not long ago, the Great Emperor went to the Blizzard Palace once. It is very likely that the Great Emperor hid the Rune Stone there!"
Speaking up to here, Ao Feng seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly changed, and he said in an extremely low voice, "I remember now. Just two months ago, Ao Du went to the Blizzard Palace and hasn't returned since!"
Hearing Ao Feng's words, Zhao Deng's face suddenly changed. He cried out involuntarily, "Could it be that the Second Prince already knew about the existence of the Rune Stone and that it was hidden in the Blizzard Palace?!"
Hearing this, Qinchuan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?
What Second Prince? "
Ao Feng's face was gloomy. He looked at Qinchuan and said, "The Second Prince is Audo, my younger brother. He and I are both strong competitors for the position of Crown Prince. In the past, he always stayed by Father's side and almost never left the Imperial City. Two months ago, he suddenly left the Imperial City and went to the Blizzard Palace. At that time, I was wondering why he went there, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that I think about it, he must have known something, so he suddenly went to the Blizzard Palace!"
Hearing Ao Feng's words, Qinchuan's face became a little ugly. If the Second Prince Audo had already known about the Rune Stone two months ago, maybe he had already gotten it!
"We must go to the Blizzard Palace as soon as possible!"
Zhao Deng said to the two, "If we continue to delay, I'm afraid that things will be really bad!"
"Yes, we must set off immediately!"
Ao Feng also had the same idea. He looked at Qinchuan and said, "I even suspect that the one who betrayed Father is Audo!"
Qinchuan looked deeply at Ao Feng and said, "You mean that Audo sold the information of the Rune Stone to Zerg, and used Zerg's power to control the Great Emperor and create an opportunity for him to get the Rune Stone?"
Ao Feng nodded. He took a deep breath and said to Qinchuan, "I know that my words will make you think that I'm framing Audo, and that I'm trying to kick him out of the game. But I'm not saying this without evidence. General Zhao Deng, you know what kind of person Audo is. He would definitely do something as treacherous as this!"
"The Crown Prince is right. The Second Prince has always been a selfish person. If he didn't want to become the Crown Prince, he wouldn't have tried so hard to please the Great Emperor. He does everything with a purpose. If he knew where the Rune Stone is, he would definitely do everything he can to get it. And the Great Emperor is his stumbling block. It's not strange for him to secretly leak information about using Zerg's power to control the Great Emperor."
Zhao Deng said to Qinchuan, "Now that Sai Na City's survival has become a problem, there's no need for the Crown Prince to do something so despicable."
Hearing Ao Feng and Zhao Deng's words, Qinchuan nodded slightly and said to the two of them, "If that's the case, let's not waste any more time. We'll head to the Blizzard Palace now. But before that, we need to consider one thing. Will our actions attract Zerg's attention?"
If Qinchuan was Zerg, he would definitely send people to keep an eye on the people who might know where the Rune Stone was. If they took action now, Zerg would definitely know what they were doing, which would add more variables to their trip to the Blizzard Palace!
"Mr. Qin is right. But we can't give up eating for fear of choking. We have to go to the Blizzard Palace no matter what!" Ao Feng said helplessly, "Even if Zerg is following us, we still have to take action!"
It didn't matter if the Insectoids or Audo obtained the rune stone, it wasn't a good thing for them. They didn't have a better choice!
…
In the darkness, the black-robed man was sitting on a futon, quietly practicing his daily practice. Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him, and then a figure appeared behind him.
"Ambassador, those people are on the move. They are preparing to leave Sai Na City on a spaceship. Their destination is not clear yet."
Hearing the report, the black-robed man slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He said indifferently, "Get ready to go. Follow them closely!"
"Yes!"
The person responded respectfully and then stepped back, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
The black-robed man slowly stretched out his right hand and looked at the golden beetle sleeping in his palm. He whispered, "Anders, our plan is finally going to reach the final step. We will become the new overlords of the universe. Don't you think so?"
The golden beetle called Anders gently twisted its body, as if responding to the black-robed man, or as if it was unconscious in its sleep.
…
Port.
Qinchuan and the other two boarded the spaceship and left Sai Na City. However, their destination was not Snow City, but Earth City, which was in the opposite direction of Snow City.
Qinchuan stood by the porthole and looked out at the starry sky. He whispered, "Where else can we get the Rune Stone other than the Void Storm?"
Hearing Qinchuan's question, Ao Feng shook his head and said, "To be honest, no one knows. As far as I know, there have been seven Rune Stones in the universe. Six of them were found in the Human Ruins, and the last one was found in the Void Storm. If there is really a Rune Stone in Snow Palace, then this will be the second one found in the Void Storm."
Qinchuan heard this and asked curiously, "Where is the Human Ruins?"
"Don't think about it. It's not a place we can go."
Ao Feng said to Qinchuan, "When the Human Race and the Demon Race disappeared, the places they occupied were divided by the other ancient races. The core area has become a forbidden area that is jointly controlled by all the ancient races. Even the overlords of the universe can't get close to it, let alone us."
Hearing Ao Feng's explanation, Qinchuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "There must be a way to get close to it, right?"
Ao Feng looked at Qinchuan with a subtle expression. After a moment of silence, he said to Qinchuan, "There are ways. The first way is to join the ancient races and become their vassal, using merits to exchange for a chance to enter the ruins.
The other way is to become a universe overlord. Only a universe overlord can enter the ruins during the gathering of the ancient races that is held once every 1,000 years! "
