General of the Heavens

"Charge!"

At Chen Yulou's command, hundreds and thousands of people surged toward the magnificent palace inside the underground palace.

Ning Chen was not blinded by the treasures here. He knew that a six-winged centipede that had become a spirit was also hidden here.

If this thing isn't eliminated, everyone present will be in danger at any moment. But in the current situation, even if Ning Chen wanted to stop it, it would be too late; the bandits were already blinded by greed.

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and Red Girl, among others, were all carrying knives and spears, ready to guard against a sneak attack from the six-winged centipede, which put Ning Chen at ease.

Inside the main hall, the Angry Rooster continued to unleash its power, causing countless patterned centipedes hidden in the corners to flee in terror.

It seems that calling him "Grandpa Rooster" wasn't for nothing.

Many eight-treasure glazed lamps are also hanging in the main hall. After so many years, half of them are still burning. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Ning Chen marveled at the single vermilion pillar in the hall. Chen Yulou, a man of wide experience, explained to Ning Chen, "Third brother, the design of this Dan Palace Immortal Realm is truly ingenious."

You see, it's supported by eighteen beams and rafters, a very rare feature in ancient palace architecture—one pillar and eighteen beams. As for the main hall, it should have pillars but no beams, a homophone for "limitless."

Ning Chen shook his head. It was indeed extravagant and wasteful. Emperors of all dynasties were willing to spend a lot of money to build such a luxurious and magnificent palace. If they had used that money to improve people's livelihoods, would history have been different?

The saying "One person's extravagance leads to the downfall of the world" seems quite fitting when applied to such a despicable emperor.

Inside the palace with its eighteen pillars, the walls are adorned with numerous paintings of deities, and are also inlaid with many jewels and jade stones.

Under the glow of the fire, the eight-treasure glass cup shone with dazzling light, a magnificent sight that left everyone mesmerized.

Chen Yulou cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, the world is now in chaos, and we heroes are living in dire straits..."

"Holy crap, that's ruthless!"

Hearing Chen Yulou get so close, Ning Chen almost popped his eyes out. The bandits of Changsheng Mountain drink and eat meat every day, what a miserable life they are.

Gan!

Chen Yulou, oblivious to the situation, continued to speak eloquently: "Now is the time for us brothers to rise to prominence. Brothers, dig up anything of value and don't leave a single thing behind."

Unlike the tomb raiders who only take one or two items from a tomb and adhere to the rule of not touching gold at cockcrow, this group of tomb raiders did not.

In Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai's eyes, what difference was there between this behavior and that of a fool? They only dared not openly say it because Ning Chen was present…

Ning Chen had no way to deal with this.

Since Chen Yulou had said so, no one was embarrassed anymore. They immediately put all their strength into it and even used shovels to pry the beads and jade off the wall.

However, the truly valuable treasures in this hall had long been looted by the Yuan soldiers, and what remained were things that no one else cared about.

But even these things that people didn't want have become antiques and treasures over time.

"Hey, you brat, didn't you see that crane-shaped bronze incense burner? What's the point of leaving that thing here? Take it down!"

Luo Laowai grabbed a sapper who was working hard and ordered him to dismantle the bronze furnace. Ning Chen gasped. This guy was a bandit!

Luo Laowai didn't take it seriously and continued to arrange for others to knock off all the gilded decorations embedded in the pillars of the main hall that could be disassembled and sold for money.

As for those eight-treasure glazed cups, Ning Chen took them because they were pretty, but he would retrieve them when they were being cleared out.

The group looted their way through the hall, rushing towards the rear hall. At this moment, the dead centipedes scattered all over the ground were no longer so frightening.

"Third brother, look at my group, aren't they alright? They're organized and orderly, and not a single one of them dares to hoard anything!"

Ning Chen was speechless at Chen Yulou's smug look. It was the first time he had ever seen someone who could talk about tomb raiding as if it were a legitimate business. He had truly learned something new.

Upon arriving at the Wuliang Hall, the main hall was situated in a location surrounded by openwork white marble railings, with dark blue rocks inside the mountain behind it.

"Second Brother, isn't that the side hall you entered back then? That's where the brothers were ambushed," Ning Chen said.

Chen Yulou remained silent about the ambush, only emphasizing how he used his skills to lead everyone to safety.

Ning Chen nodded. If that's the case, the six-winged centipede is nearby and it should come out to fight to the death at any time!

Don't forget, nine out of ten centipedes slaughtered in Ping Mountain were descendants of the six-winged centipede. If the Angry Sun Chicken continues to cause trouble, the bloodline of the six-winged centipede will be cut off!

Sure enough, just as everyone was about to go forward to investigate the danger, Partridge Whistle suddenly sensed something was wrong and instantly grabbed the mirror box in his hand.

"There's danger ahead! Retreat!"

Ning Chen activated his Golden Eyes and saw a giant centipede crawling outwards.

Chen Yulou also heard some unusual noises coming from deep ahead, but by the time he spoke up to warn them, it was too late.

After a splashing sound, the six-winged centipede had already swum up the stone wall. It had long sensed the presence of the Angry-Eyed Chicken!

The Angry-Scented Chicken is its natural enemy, so it has been hiding in a corner, trembling with fear, enduring the situation, hoping that the Angry-Scented Chicken will stop and retreat soon.

But as it watched its offspring being nearly wiped out by the roosters, the six-winged centipede could no longer bear it and finally charged furiously onto the stone bridge in front of the Wuliang Hall, intending to fight the Angry Rooster to the death!

Ning Chen activated his Golden Eyes, his senses becoming exceptionally sharp, and he easily determined the six-winged centipede's path.

Old Yangren and Hua Ling were the first to be affected!

"Oh no! In the original story, the old foreigner was killed here by the six-winged centipede. He and I had a debt of gratitude for the gold ingot, so I must save him!"

Back then, the old foreigner casually tossed Ning Chen a piece of gold worth over a million yuan. How could Ning Chen possibly let such a wealthy friend die?

Ning Chen leaped out and in the blink of an eye darted to Old Yangren and Hua Ling's side, forcefully shoving them toward Partridge Whistle before making a hasty escape.

"Ah!" Hua Ling exclaimed in surprise.

The old foreigner, with his back to Ning Chen, was pushed and stumbled. Hua Ling was facing Ning Chen, and due to the time crunch, Ning Chen accidentally pressed his hand against a soft spot…

Partridge Whistle reacted quickly and shielded his junior brothers and sisters behind him, firing his two mirror-finish guns at the six-winged centipede.

The six-winged centipede arrived swiftly and, in a flash, tore to pieces a strongman from the Unloading Ridge faction who was standing next to the old foreigner.

If Ning Chen hadn't intervened, it would have been Old Yangren who was torn to pieces. Partridge Whistle, covering Old Yangren and Hua Ling, passed by Ning Chen and patted him heavily on the shoulder to express his gratitude.

As a result, Ning Chen staggered...
