The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2709 - 2698: Opening of the Demon Emperor’s Tomb

Elder Bai Wu Fengxian and Elder Black Jiang Yuntian had only learned from the current ancestor of the Wus that after their mutual destruction, He Kongsheng married Kong Ruolan, and afterward, both the Wus and the Jiangs were expelled. Naturally, the current ancestor of the Wus was unaware of what happened later.

Seeing Elder Bai and Elder Black frowning deeply, the faces of Lin Wentian and Kong Nanzhi also looked somewhat unsightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wentian slowly revealed the matters regarding Kong Ruolan.

Back then, Kong Ruolan was forced into marriage with He Kongsheng, as she did not have any feelings for him at all.

Yet, Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian, who were the most dazzling figures, met their end together, and He Kongsheng rose swiftly, taking their place and propelling the rapid development of the Hes. It can be said that no one could halt the Hes’ progress at that time.

He Kongsheng proposed to the Kong family, and within the family, Kong Ruolan was a prodigy, with cultivation talent surpassing even Kong Nanzhi.

However, He Kongsheng gave the Kong family an irresistible gift, and under the persuasion of all the Kong family elders, coupled with the severe blow caused by the deaths of Elder Bai and Elder Black—who had been very close friends—she eventually chose to marry He Kongsheng for many reasons.

It can be said that the wedding between He Kongsheng and Kong Ruolan was incredibly grand.

After the wedding, He Kongsheng displayed himself as a true gentleman in front of Kong Ruolan.

Initially, Kong Ruolan did not allow He Kongsheng to touch her body, saying she needed time to accept it all.

However, good times didn’t last long; after waiting for more than a decade, He Kongsheng could no longer bear it and stopped pretending.

He administered a potent drug to Kong Ruolan, making her body weak though her consciousness remained.

He forcibly made Kong Ruolan his woman, causing her immense pain.

After that day.

Kong Ruolan became pregnant with He Kongsheng’s child; after giving birth, she chose to sever her own meridians, wishing to depart from this world forever.

At the critical moment, He Kongsheng stabilized Kong Ruolan’s heart meridian, allowing it to remain steady.

However.

Upon stabilizing Kong Ruolan’s heart meridian, He Kongsheng discovered she had not only severed her heart meridian but had also consumed several unknown potent toxins.

At that time, Kong Ruolan’s life was beyond salvation, the deadly toxins penetrating every cell in her body, rendering even the antidote of Supreme Elixirs ineffective.

Eventually, through special means, He Kongsheng temporarily stabilized Kong Ruolan’s vitality, placing her to rest upon the millennia-old Purple Xuán Ice.

This millennia-old Purple Xuán Ice could lock in a person’s vitality, aided by the various detoxification resources within the Hes.

For so long, Kong Ruolan’s vitality had not ceased, yet she had never awakened, remaining upon the millennia-old Purple Xuán Ice like a living dead.

Upon learning of Kong Ruolan’s fate.

Elder Bai Wu Fengxian and Elder Black Jiang Yuntian’s hands tightly clenched into fists; they had always loved and pursued Kong Ruolan, and the anger within their hearts erupted like a volcano, with their aura rising furiously.

Meanwhile.

Deep within Devil’s Lake, Ye Chenfeng.

He was continuously deciphering a formation composed of irregularly sized stones, progressing slow at first but increasing in speed as time went on.

The Skyhawk’s head quietly floated beside Ye Chenfeng, watching him with unblinking eyes.

Truth be told, Skyhawk held deep admiration for Ye Chenfeng’s formation skills, believing the complexity of the formations here was beyond what ordinary formation masters could decipher.

Yet under Ye Chenfeng’s unraveling, the originally complex formation was becoming increasingly simple.

Suddenly.

Lake’s bottom trembled violently, a wave of energy spreading outward, forming enormous vortices in the surrounding waters.

Slowly, slowly.

A massive hole emerged from the lakebed, a beam of black light shooting skyward from its entrance.

In just an instant, this black beam pierced the lake surface and surged towards the sky.

This black light was extraordinarily unique; at that moment, nearly all the powerful figures in the Upper World could sense this beam shooting skyward.

In the depths of Devil’s Lake, upon witnessing this scene, Ye Chenfeng’s brow furrowed instantly, understanding that this place would soon draw numerous powerful figures. He must enter the Chaos Demon Emperor’s tomb first, preventing others from seizing the opportunity.

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fixed upon the pitch-black entrance—the entrance to the Chaos Demon Emperor’s tomb.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

"Bang!"

Moments after the entrance emerged, the surrounding soil crumbled and loosened, revealing a rectangular Stele, upon which four blood-red characters were inscribed: "Intruders Die!"

These four blood-red characters looked eerie beyond measure and were likely warnings for tomb invaders.

However, how could Ye Chenfeng concern himself with such matters now? He must quickly enhance his strength. If the crimson patterns spread across the Divine Origin Realm, he too would be within the area of its coverage and might become a puddle of blood? It would then be impossible to confront He Kongsheng.

Without any hesitation, Ye Chenfeng stepped into the pitch-black entrance.

Interestingly, the surrounding water avoided the entrance as if sentient, ensuring its interior remained unusually dry.

Upon entering the entrance.

Ye Chenfeng smelled a decayed odor, intensely unpleasant, as he walked further.

Suddenly.

The stone walls around him began to glow faintly, revealing that he was in a tunnel.

This passage was very short, ending with a stone chamber sealed by a door not far ahead.

Reaching the stone chamber door, Ye Chenfeng pushed it open, cautiously stepping inside.

Inside the stone chamber was empty, yet its walls were engraved with countless eyes.

These eyes covered the walls and appeared incredibly lifelike, as if real.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly felt an illusion; it seemed the eyes on the stone walls blinked a moment before.
