The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1800: Hell

This palace itself contains powerful energy. These bronze statues are lifeless; their ability to act like normal people is entirely due to the palace itself. Strangely, Ye Shikai couldn’t sense this energy. The vast palace seemed cold and lifeless, with any energy only emanating from the treasures inside.

"It’s truly baffling." Ye Shikai couldn’t help but mutter. Perhaps there was an array hiding this energy, possibly even concealing the array itself. With his cultivation level and understanding of arrays, he couldn’t perceive anything unusual.

"Since this is the Secret Realm of Kunlun, this palace can’t be that simple. It looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you," the Sword Soul joked.

"Yeah, if I can’t figure out the cause, then the next thing I’ll encounter could be these bronze figures or something even more terrifying," Ye Shikai said lightly. But through this crisis, he realized that while the number of these bronze Qin soldiers was huge, as long as he eliminated the commanding general, the others would be incapacitated.

When it comes to understanding arrays, Zheng Li is undoubtedly the expert. This mysterious person can simultaneously control tens of thousands of cultivators to form twenty to thirty arrays, merging them into a Big Formation. Such skill makes him presumably the best in Huaxia.

Perhaps finding Zheng Li would help solve this mystery. He has collaborated with the Zheng Family several times and has a good relationship with Zheng Ji, the eldest son. Zheng Li might be able to help him, but in such a large palace, how does he know where the Zheng Family’s team is?

"Have you noticed anything?" Ji Qian suddenly said beside him.

"Nothing much." Ye Shikai looked at the bronze general statue he had "beheaded," carefully examining it. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the bronze statue’s waist.

"What’s up?"

Ye Shikai reached out and took the token from the waist. Even this token was made of bronze. When Ye Shikai’s hand touched the token, he suddenly felt a shock. His palm contracted sharply, and the bronze token began to change, turning into a wooden one. Ye Shikai weighed it carefully in his hand.

"This should be the general’s token, right?" Ji Qian asked curiously.

"Yes, this is the Qin General’s token. It’s proof of military rank and, during battle, it’s also the military order," Ye Shikai explained. He took another token from the Storage Ring, which looked almost identical. Only upon close inspection could one notice the differences.

"What is this, how come you have one too?" Ji Qian asked curiously.

"Didn’t I tell you? I was a Qin General for a time, and I kept this token," Ye Shikai observed carefully. Judging from these tokens, these bronze statues must have been Qin soldiers.

"What are you planning to do?" Ji Qian probed.

"If I have this token, can I command the other Qin soldiers?" Ye Shikai muttered, but quickly dismissed the idea. Even if he had the general’s token, the other bronze soldiers were commanded by other generals. They wouldn’t listen to him.

But if he used this token, could he command the bronze soldiers present here...?

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Shikai decided not to do it. It was too risky. With so many people around, if his assumption was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. Ye Shikai put the token into the Storage Ring and stopped worrying about it. After the three families prepared, they moved forward again.

.................................

Half an hour later.

The three families continued along the path, but after walking for a long time, they still hadn’t reached the end. Without encountering the stationary bronze statues again, the crowd almost thought they were walking in circles.

"Is this palace really this big?"

"Why haven’t we reached the end yet?"

Someone in the crowd started asking curiously.

"Yeah, I feel like we’re just circling around."

"Enough, everyone talks less and let’s move quickly."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Look at that, what is it?" suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, pointing ahead.

"That’s... a flower," Ye Shikai murmured, looking forward. In front of the crowd was a mass of flowers, blood-red flowers...

Meanwhile, the surroundings began to brighten. Though it was inside the palace, where there shouldn’t be sunlight, looking up made it seem almost like the outdoors.

The crowd didn’t pay much mind and walked directly towards the cluster of flowers.

"These flowers are really beautiful."

"Yes, they are."

"Don’t touch them, just keep going."

Ye Shikai looked at the blood-red flowers nearby and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Suddenly, he recalled many things...

"Kai, Kai, are you okay?" Chen Yuxin tugged at his arm, calling out several times. Ye Shikai finally came to his senses.

"Kai, what were you thinking?"

"Nothing, just zoning out." Ye Shikai looked at the flowers beside him and suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest, not a good omen.

Suddenly, a strong purple-red light shot down from the sky. The sky, which was previously blue and white, suddenly turned into an oppressive purple-red. The sudden intense light caught everyone off guard, and they quickly turned away to avoid the rays.

"Damn it, what is this?" Ye Shikai rubbed his eyes. Surrounded by the purple-red light, he wasn’t sure what it was, but it certainly wasn’t anything good.

Then, the scene before him shocked him, to be precise, frightened him.

Countless monsters wielding axes and spears suddenly appeared, emerging silently among the crowd as if they had sprung up out of nowhere.

Bang.

A monster beside him swung a long axe at him. Ye Shikai quickly sidestepped, the axe smashing into the ground, creating a depression. These monsters were over two meters tall, exceptionally fierce. Looking around, the flower sea had turned into rocks, surrounded by magma. The sky was pitch black; it was hellish.

Ye Shikai drew the You Xi Sword, swinging it backward. But when the You Xi Sword struck the monster, it merely pushed the creature back, not killing it.

Ah ah ah.

Meanwhile, cries rang out from around him. These monsters had suddenly appeared, scattering among the crowd. Unprepared, many suffered heavy losses. With everyone dispersed, they couldn’t form an array to defend themselves; they could only fight individually.

Ye Shikai found Chen Yuxin amidst the crowd. Worried that the monsters might harm her, he rushed forward and chopped down the two monsters in front of him.
