Hail the King

Chapter 933: Shocking Change (Part One)

Blond, curly-haired Priest Andy said to others fearlessly; he was calm and not afraid at all.

“Yeah, we don’t have much time left. Since we are already here, it doesn’t make sense to back away now. Let’s step up our game and get that item today!”

“We will walk in the very front; you guys only need to follow up and guard our backs.”

The bald priest and the baby-faced priest with wrinkles said to the hired masters before walking to the front.

Others couldn’t do anything but follow.

If they backed out now, time and resources that they spent so far would be wasted. In addition, if these three priests of the Holy Church got injured or died, they would face the judgment of the Holy Church and potentially be hunted down.

In the blink of an eye, they already moved forward for more than 1,000 meters.

The godly-looking main palace where Emperor Kerimov stayed in before was very close to them.

“Look up ahead! I told you that there is no danger...” With a smile on his face, the blond, curly-haired priest who walked in the front urged the team without looking back, “Let’s speed up! Very soon, we will...”

Before he could finish speaking, a black flame flashed behind him, and several gasps sounded. Everyone put up their guard, and they instantly spread out. After calming down and looking around, they found that four of their peers disappeared.

“What happened? Where are Cust and others? What is going on?” someone roared in anger.

“That was...” The middle-aged, clever-looking master frowned and recalled what happened. After thinking for a bit, he said, “It seemed to be a magic teleportation array. Cust and other three got teleported away... Damn it! How could this happen? That power was clearly undead energy. How can there be undead magic arrays?”

A total of 12 of them came in, and five of them were already gone within the first 20 minutes of entering the Royal Palace of Anji. Those five people were all powerful masters who dominated over regions. This situation was bizarre, making the atmosphere a little chilly and terrifying.

...

-Further away-

Fei had been following them at a calm pace.

He saw that dash of black flame; the king was sure that it was a mystical teleportation magic device. Even Sun-Class Lords who were pulled into it couldn’t escape, and those four people were teleported somewhere.

It seemed like the complexity and secrets hidden in this Royal Palace were beyond Fei’s estimates.

From further away, Fei saw the remaining people arguing about something. After a while, that middle-aged, clever-looking master and a man who was 1.9 meters tall turned around and left, no longer continuing the exploration and going deeper into the palace. The other people cautiously dashed toward the main palace of the Royal Palace of Anji with the three priests in the center.

Fei paused for a second before following the group with priests.

...

Nothing else strange happened along the way, and that calmed down these five people.

Soon, this group of people arrived at the main palace of the Royal Palace.

It was less than one hour away from sunset.

This group of people didn’t stop at the gate of the main palace and quickly got through the corridors and the stairs. Without hesitation, they dashed into the gates that looked like the bloody mouths of horrifying prehistoric beasts, getting engulfed by darkness.

It was quite dim inside the main palace.

A nose-piercing, disgusting odor permeated the air, and black bloodstains could be seen all over the smooth, silver floor. In fact, the blood even splashed onto the walls and stone pillars in the palace. However, the bloodstains already dried up. They looked like black abstract paintings, and they also seemed like eyes that were observing what was happening inside the palace. It was silent in here, and the atmosphere was horrifying.

Chapter 933: Shocking Change (Part Two)

“According to the information that we have, that item should be placed in a hidden compartment under the throne in the main palace.” Blond, curly-haired Priest Andy showed a relieved smile, and he looked around before pointing at the back of the palace and yelling in delight, “It is over there!”

In the depths of the palace, a majestic throne that had a noble and dominating aura quietly sat on a platform above nine steps, and it still had a light flashing around it.

The magnificent architectural style and delicate setup were awe-inspiring. Seeing this, it was quite easy to imagine the scene where Emperor Kerimov sat on the throne and glanced at the tens of thousands of officials; it was both dominating and striking.

Unfortunately, the entire Anji Empire was destroyed, becoming a part of history.

Anji’s dream of becoming the most powerful force in the Northern Region of Azeroth and potentially the entire continent... was now only a dream; it couldn’t be realized anymore.

“I will go and fetch it.” The only female master amongst the five people opened her mouth and took the task. She was wearing a tight-fitting red bodysuit, and her figure was sexy. Since she cultivated wind-elemental warrior energy, she was agile and fast. In the blink of an eye, she got to the seven-colored crystal throne and checked around. She discovered a well-hidden mechanism at one of the armrests of the throne, and she lightly pressed on it.

Boom!

Changes suddenly occurred.

However, the hidden compartment that she was looking for didn’t appear.

Dark light suddenly flashed in the main palace, and light beams that were about the thickness of an arm shot out of the ground one after another, becoming a tightly-sealed prison that was about four square meters big and locking the other master beside the three priests.

Before they could react, a series of bestial roars resonated from the light prison, and an endless amount of black mist gushed out of the light beams. The black mist emitted devil-like evil energy, and it was highly corrosive. As it moved toward the Sun-Class Lord imprisoned inside, this master couldn’t defend for long. After his warrior energy flames flashed on him, he was engulfed by the black mist in the next second. Then, a series of terrifying and shrill screams sounded from the inside!

“What is going on?” The female master in red was shocked, and she quickly pressed on that mechanism again, but nothing happened.

She immediately dashed back to the three priests; she did this subconsciously. After all, in the face of evil energy, it was safer to be around priests of the Holy Church.

“Quickly save him!” the woman in red shouted in anger and fear.

However, the three priests didn’t react to her words; they didn’t escape and didn’t try to help.

The woman in red looked at the three priests in confusion, and she saw three faces that had strange smiles on them.

“Hahahaha! Why should we help him?” Blond, curly-haired Priest Andy laughed, and the gentle and friendly smile on his face turned wicked and vicious. Something happened to the other two priests, and they stared at the woman in red as if she were an animal that fell into the trap of hunters.

“You...” The woman in red understood something, and she turned into a gush of wind and dashed toward the entrance of the palace like a bolt of lightning, trying to escape as soon as she could.

Unfortunately, an iron-tower-like figure appeared by the gate.

Boom!

This figure punched out; this technique was dominating yet delicate. With black undead energy coiled around his fists, he blocked all the escape paths, forcing the woman in red to attack and take this strike head-on. As a result, she was knocked back.

“It is you! How is this possible?” After falling to the ground, the woman in red finally got a good look at the person who stopped her. She immediately screamed and couldn’t believe what she was seeing as if she saw a ghost.
