Xiao Feng picked it up immediately and compared it with the Key to Seal (Left) from his bag. It turned out that they matched well. Then he threw them back into his bag and continued to run towards the central hall.
It was a pity that when Xiao Feng returned, he didn’t find the Lich Kerr Sue, which made Xiao Feng frown. He looked for it carefully on the sixth floor of the underground palace and found nothing.
Undoubtedly, the Lich Kerr Sue didn’t die due to the Resurrection skill, but where it went after revival remained unknown to Xiao Feng.
It might have escaped. Or maybe it didn’t come back to life here. After all, Xiao Feng didn’t find it on the sixth floor of the underground palace.
Having searched for it for twice, Xiao Feng had no other choice but to give up and clear off the several creeps that were just refilled on the sixth floor of the underground palace. He thought for a while and continued to head towards the seventh floor.
The seventh floor of the underground palace was the last floor of the grand underground grave. Likewise, there was only an empty hall and a sealed door in this place just as Xiao Feng came here before. Surprisingly, not a single creep was found here.
The enchantment of the sealed door was very similar to the one on the angel statue at the bottom of the Muguang Lake, on which there was also a key hole that matched the key to seal. Xiao Feng pondered for a while and then took out the combined key to seal. He put it to the key hole.
“Why does nothing happen?”
Xiao Feng thought there would be some big noises so he took two steps backwards. However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened, which made Xiao Feng quite dumbfounded.
He went forward to take a look. The key to seal was sucked into the key hole and they matched perfectly, but the problem was that the enchantment just remained unchanged, as if the key to seal was like an ornament.
“It can’t be right.”
Xiao Feng frowned. As he recalled, Ni Wu did say that the key to seal could unleash the seal enchantment of the grand underground grave. Now what was going on?
He checked it again more carefully and still had no any other findings. He found nothing but a few delicate cracks on the seal door.
Xiao Feng was quite confused. Then he had to take the key to seal back. He thought for an instant and then took out the Town Portal Scroll to the City of Gloom. Having returned to the City of Gloom, he went to find Ni Wu and asked him about the situation.
“Hmm? You have collected all the parts of the key to seal. Did you kill the Lich Kerr Sue?”
Ni Wu was fiddling with his new alchemy room. Master Dilu and Di Wuya were not here. When he saw Xiao Feng come with the complete key to seal, he said in surprise.
“I killed it once but it came back to life again. And I’ve no idea where he resurrects. The other half of the key was dropped after it died.”
“The liches are always tough. They each have a life core, which is their true self. As long as the life core exists, the dead soul can return to the core and come back to life. Moreover, the life core is well hidden and others cannot find it at all.” Ni Wu fully agreed with a nod, “But it is okay. Being killed for once is already a severe damage for a lich. It will not be able to resurrect within a certain period of time. If it is killed again, it will die for good then.”
“By the way, why can’t the key to seal open the sealed door in the grand underground grave?” Xiao Feng nodded his head and then asked.
“You mean the one in the deepest place of the grand underground grave? Something really horrible was sealed in there. It should have been resurrected by the Lich Kerr Sue. Why do you want to open it?” Ni Wu was surprised and then stared at Xiao Feng.
“It’s none of your business. I just want to know why the key cannot open the door.” Xiao Feng didn’t care what was sealed in there. As long as it was of Undead Soul type, Xiao Feng was fearless to kill it even if it was at the Myth level.
“Show me the key to seal…” Ni Wu fetched the key to seal from Xiao Feng and appeared rather puzzled after observing it, “It’s so strange. There is nothing wrong with the key to seal. Why can’t it unleash the enchantment of that place?”
Having returned the key to seal to Xiao Feng, Ni Wu paced the room while scratching his messy hair. Then he said with some uncertainty, “Unless the seal in that place has been destroyed. Maybe the Lich Kerr Sue wanted to release the thing inside the enchantment and it couldn’t gain the other half of the key from me so it tried to ruin the enchantment. The worse thing is that what is in there had been awoken and tries to break through the enchantment.”
Xiao Feng was speechless. What Ni Wu just said was useless. Yet, on second thought, there were a few delicate cracks on the sealed door indeed, which suggested that his words could be true somehow.
As a result, Xiao Feng thought for a while and hastened to leave for the Muguang Lake, planning to see whether the enchantment on the angel statue could be unleashed. Hopefully, it was not destroyed as the grand underground grave.
“Hello! Now that you have the key to seal, do you want me to tell you where the corpse of the Saint Angel is? Just let me study it for a few days if you get it back. After all, you are the archbishop of the Light Temple and an adventurer, so you won’t be afraid of the taboo of the Light Temple.”
Ni Wu shouted at Xiao Feng behind but Xiao Feng just ignored him. As to the location of the Saint Angel’s corpse, Xiao Feng had known it before.
He teleported himself to the Tianlong City first and then summoned Xiaoxue to bring him to the Muguang Forest outside the city. On the way, Xiao Feng also picked up a call from Liu Qiangwei.
“The City of Gloom may be opened to all recently.” Liu Qiangwei said over the call in an inquiring tone.
“It’s up to you. No need to ask for my opinion. Just let me know if any problem arises. And I will try my best to solve it.” Xiao Feng said that and then hung up.
Actually, he had heard of what Liu Qiangwei said when he passed by in the Tianlong City. As the main city second only to the imperial city, which was also the most popular and complicated, it accommodated a huge quantity of players. Especially when the whole Huaxia District was in a critical turmoil, since it was one of the several safe main cities, the players in the Tianlong City hit a peak.
As so many players gathered here, words spread fast. On the way from the transmission square to the outside of the city, Xiao Feng heard countless voices all related to the chaotic situation in the Huaxia District.
Some players mentioned that the situation in the south also became unstable. The Antiquity Guild was too aggressive, leading to more and more guilds being destroyed or forced to become its vassals. In this case, it was getting increasingly bigger and took the third place on the guild list, which also became a new giant guild. Besides, it was still expanding, as if it was going to announce its domination in the south and make all the south guilds acknowledge allegiance to Antiquity!
Despite the imposing manner of the Antiquity Guild and the resent caused by its potent oppression, no one in the south could stop it because of its strong power. Under the circumstance, the force it had established posed a threat to the south dominator—Midsummer Guild!
Numerous players were certain that even though the Midsummer Guild didn’t show any attitude or make any move, as the Antiquity Guild kept expanding, a war between them was inevitable!
A lot of players couldn’t help looking forward to the coming of that day. The Antiquity Guild was potent indeed but the Midsummer Guild was not easy to mess with. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be ranked No. 2 on the guild list of the Huaxia District and become the south dominator of the Huaxia District. It was by force that Midsummer Guild earned its position! Its capability couldn’t be underestimated!
If these two giants got into a war, the war must be earthshaking and fabulous!
What’s more, a lot of players in the Tianlong City all saw that groups of management players of the south guilds arrived at here and headed towards the encampment of the Midsummer Guild, including the guilds that were destroyed by the Antiquity.
These were the hidden troubles left by the forceful expansion of the Antiquity Guild. With its strong oppression, inevitably, it made a lot of enemies and the enemies gathered to visit the Midsummer Guild. Obviously, it was not a favorable thing for the Antiquity.
In fact, a secret meeting was going on in the Midsummer Guild encampment. There were as many as 30 participating guilds!
“That’s to say, the main fighting power of the Antiquity Guild is the players of original Glory Guild and the top players led by Blademaster?”
It was War Spirit Sky that was speaking. He frowned and asked the senior management of the guilds whose encampments were eliminated by the Antiquity Guild.
“And the guilds that are dependent on the Antiquity Guild. The Antiquity Guild doesn’t exploit them and only required them to attend a battle to show their loyalty, and then it wouldn’t make trouble for them anymore, but a one-time participance into the battles of so many guilds will constitute strong fighting power. Moreover, quite some aggressive players completely join in the Antiquity Guild so this part of force becomes stronger and stronger.”
For the guilds that were destroyed, they were directly dismissed. The guild names of their players didn’t show anymore. Having heard that, they said further to War Spirit Sky but when they were talking, they were staring at Liu Qiangwei who was in a prominent position.
“I’ve understood what you mean. There must be a war between Midsummer and Antiquity. Your provocative words are not necessary. It is okay if you want to seek your revenge, but you must obey the command of Midsummer.”
With snow yarn on her face, Liu Qiangwei didn’t show her face but no one would ever doubt how stunning she was as the No. 1 Dream Girl in Huaxia District.
She glanced over all the people at present. There were the players from more than 30 guilds, including the allies of the Midsummer and newly dependent guilds. Most of them were the guilds that had been destroyed by the Antiquity. Liu Qiangwei said in an ethereal and yet unquestionable voice. She didn’t appear arrogant but her cold and aloof manner just distanced herself from others.
And now, Liu Qiangwei’s eyes were rather profound. She held her own grudge against the Antiquity. It was not only about contending for hegemony.
“What do you mean? You want to command us? Do you want to become the second Antiquity?”
Some of the guild presidents were still rather emotional and frustrated for their guilds being dismissed. Hence, when they heard that, one of them patted the table and said angrily.
“The door is on your right side. The Midsummer Guild has never welcomed your coming. If you are still not clear about your stand, please leave here then.”
Liu Qiangwei said in an ethereal and yet indifferent voice, as if the voice came from a snowy valley, cold and chilly.
“You!”
“Okay. Take a seat. Don’t forget why we are here. We share common interest in terms of defeating the Antiquity Guild. To that end, it is okay for us to obey the arrangement and command of Midsummer but you must convince us with what you can do! The merit that you used to defeat the Glory is far from enough.”
“You will know it soon. Very soon.”
