Ch521 - The Palace Gates Opens

8 min read1,975 words

Three days later,

The eighth level cultivator of the Li family was killed by the five members of the Xiao family, and the Palace gate, which had been locked for over two months, finally opened.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at the slowly opening two Palace doors, the faces of the five members of the Xiao family showed a relieved smile.

Opening their own door, Liu Mufeng and his five companions also walked out of the Palace. Half of the Palaces’ gates could only be opened after twenty people had died. Only in this first level of survival of the fittest would half of the people be defeated. It was estimated that in a hundred years, there would only be three to five hundred people left after these over a thousand people.

As Liu Mufeng and his five companions walked into the courtyard, Xiao Feifei looked contemptuous. “Hmph, you guys know how to pick up ready-made ones.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xu sneered. “How could you possibly detoxify each other if you hadn’t learned to pick fruits from us?”

“You…” Upon hearing these words, Xiao Feifei rolled her eyes in anger.

“Alright Feifei, let’s go!” Xiao Yi glanced at his Sister and pulled the person to his side, signaling everyone to leave.

“Hmph!” Xiao Feifei looked contemptuously at the five members of Liu Mufeng before she turned around and walked towards the Palace gate. She was the first one walked out of the Palace gate.

The loud sound of“bump…” shocked everyone.

When everyone reacted, they saw that Xiao Feifei had been split in half and her body was lying straight on the ground.

“Sixth Sister, Sixth Sister…”

Seeing that their Younger Sister had died so suddenly, the four members of the Xiao family screamed in anguish. Although the four members of the Xiao family all had a mournful expression on their faces, they stood still and dared not go to collect their little Sister’s body.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xu was also shocked. He turned his head and looked at his own man. “Husband?”

“It’s a golden light, maybe it’s some kind of prohibition or a formation.” Liu Mufeng frowned and didn’t expect the Palace gate to have such a formation when it opened after being closed for such a long time.

“So can’t we get out?” Jiang Xu looked depressed at the thought.

“I don’t know.” He shook his head as Liu Mufeng didn’t know what it meant, whether or not to let anyone out. It was inexplicable, even though the Palace gates had already been opened, such a restriction was placed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng chuckled softly. “Senior, are you sure you want us to leave first? You wouldn’t regret it if we left first?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t regret it, Nephews, please.” Xiao Yi and the other three retreated to the side, making way for the five of Liu Mufeng’s group.

Seeing Xiao Yi’s appearance, Liu Mufeng smiled. “So, thank you very much, Senior, for letting us go first.”

“Husband!” Jiang Xu grabbed his lover who was about to move forward.

“Everyone stay put and don’t move.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at everyone.

“Father!” Upon hearing these words, Liu Xuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

“This is my order, no one can disobey it.” Liu Mufeng added as he looked at everyone.

“But…” Jiang Xu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his lover.

“Be obedient, stand here and wait for me.” Liu Mufeng said in a tone that could not be refuted.

“En.” Jiang Xu nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Looking at his obedient lover, Liu Mufeng nodded. Turning around and walking towards the Palace gate.

Jiang Xu directly took out his long sword, his eyes stared fixedly at the back of his lover, thinking that if there was any danger, he would rush over and should be able to help Mufeng block some of it.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Liu Mufeng, even the four siblings of the Xiao family’s gaze fell on Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng walked step by step to the entrance of the Palace and stepped out of the threshold. A red light flew down from the lintel. Liu Mufeng raised his hand and directly caught the fallen mahagony box, putting it into his own storage ring.

As he walked out of the Palace gate, Liu Mufeng turned around and looked at the group of Jiang Xu behind the open gate. “It’s okay, everyone come out.”

“Oh!” Jiang Xu walked over first, and the other three immediately followed.

Seeing Liu Mufeng and his five companions leave unharmed. The four siblings of the Xiao family still stood in place.

“Third Brother, what’s going on? Why haven’t they been killed?” Xiao Wen, the Fourth Brother, asked suspiciously as he looked at Xiao Yi.

“I don’t know what’s going on, could it be that this door still recognizes people?” Xiao Yi frowned and couldn’t understand why his Sister was killed by an array when she walked out, while that group of people didn’t die when they walked out?

“So what should we do? Should we go or not? We don’t have much fruit left, do we?” Xiao Hui couldn’t help but frown at the thought.

“Let’s go, I’ll go first.” Xiao Yi said as he looked at the others.

“No, Third Brother, you are the only alchemist among the four of us. It’s better for this Big Brother to leave first.” After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hui felt that he should protect the Third Brother and let him walk behind him.

“No, aren’t I the Alchemy Master and the Leader of this group? I should be walking ahead. Among those people just now, the one who left first was also the Leader.” Xiao Yi just saw the token hanging on Liu Mufeng’s waist, which was the Sea God Order. The only difference between that person and his Sister was that the person was the Alchemist and the Leader. If it was necessary to let the Leader leave first, then among the four of them, it should be him leaving first.

“Is that so?” Xiao Hui looked at his Younger Brother with some uncertainty.

“I think it should be like this.” Xiao Yi said as he walked towards the Palace gate. One or two steps, a layer of fine and dense sweat beads also appeared on his own forehead. He naturally didn’t want to die, but there were so many poisonous trees in this Palace that not leaving would only lead to a dead end, so he had to leave.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yi walked out of the Palace gate and found that nothing had happened to him. However, after waiting at the gate for a long time, he did not receive the mahogany box.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was fine, the other members of the Xiao family also walked out. However, even though everyone had walked out, they still didn’t receive the mahogany box.

“What’s going on? Why don’t we have a box?” Seeing that his Third brother didn’t get the box, Xiao Wen was very unhappy.

After looking at his Fourth Brother, Xiao Yi sighed. “It seems that there is only one box, which can only be obtained by the Leader who walked out of the Palace first. We don’t have it anymore. Let’s go.” Xiao Yi was very disappointed when he said this. Unexpectedly, killing the cultivator of the Li family was just a waste of time. In the end, the good opportunity was still taken away by others.

“How could that be? They really got a good bargain.” Thinking of this, Xiao Wen felt very frustrated.

“Forget it, let’s gather the body of the Little Sister first.” Xiao Yi sighed as he looked at her body on the ground.

Upon hearing these words, others also sighed repeatedly.

After leaving, Liu Mufeng and his group walked North along the slate road and soon found another courtyard. As soon as the five of them walked into the Palace gate, the two vermilion gates slowly closed.

Turning his head and looking at the closed Palace gate behind him, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but twitch his lips and thought in his heart:What kind of luck are they having? How come when they walk into a Palace it closes?

Hearing the sound of the Palace gate closing, the cultivators in the main hall immediately came out to inspect, and the cultivators in the East and West chambers also came out to have a look.

Liu Mufeng did not know the other people, but the five people in the main hall, Liu Mufeng, knew them. It was the two Sons of Yu Haipeng, the Lord of Qing City, Yu Shan and Yu Tian, who were both Void Immortals. The other three were Yu Qing’er, the eighth level alchemist of Yu Shan’s Daughter. One is Yu Dong’er, the Daughter of Yu Lian, who was also a level eight alchemist, and the other was Cao An, the Grandson of Cao Yu, who was also an level eight alchemist.

Seeing these five people, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and think in his heart:It’s really a narrow path for enemies. I actually met the Yu family here!

Seeing that all five of Liu Mufeng’s group were level eight cultivators, Yu Shan didn’t pay much attention to them. “There are not many rooms here, they are already full. You guys should stay in the yard.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Mufeng nodded. “Thank you for informing me, Senior. I understand.”

Glancing at Liu Mufeng again, Yu Shan didn’t say much and went back to the main hall with the others.

Seeing Yu’s family leave, the other two families have also returned to their respective halls. For the moment, the yard became quiet again.

Seeing that the other fifteen people had all gone back to their rooms, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but frown. “There are really few rooms here. We don’t even have a place to live.”

Glancing at his wife who was pouting and a look of grievance, Liu Mufeng smiled. “There’s nothing we can do, who made us come late? Let’s make do with it in the yard. Didn’t we prepare the cave?”

“Okay.” Jiang Xu nodded helplessly.

Liu Mufeng asked Jiang Xu to take Xiaoyuan and Uncle Bai to prepare the cave and tent as he started wandering around the yard with his Son. This courtyard faced North and South, with the door facing South. There was an imposing lotus pond to the east, where many beautiful golden lotus plants were planted. There were some fiery red flowers planted on the edge of the western wall, but these flowers were either spiritual flowers or the most common ornamental flowers, they could not be used as medicine and had no value, just like the golden lotus in the lotus pond. It was just beautiful, it could not be used as medicine and was not of any practical use.
