Chapter 1839

Imperial capital.

Qianlin District.

The night is shrouded in cold fog.

The light of the silver moon shrouded the ruins, with ruins, collapsed palace walls, charred beams, and some broken glass and ornaments that shimmered slightly in the moonlight like broken silver falling in the dust. The prosperity of the carved beams and painted buildings in the past could be vaguely discerned.

This is Li Mansion.

The home of Li Chenyuan, the favored son of heaven.

A few days ago, the Li family was the imperial capital—no, it was no exaggeration to say that it was the top wealthy family in the entire empire.

The four eldest sons of the Li family all hold positions in the Holy Cabinet, the Holy Council, and Huiyao City. They hold great power, and their clansmen are spread throughout the empire. However, because there is no founder in the family, they are not considered to be the most powerful family.

But now, all the glory is dust in the wind.

The Li family is dead.

A bloody battle a few days ago turned the wealthy family into ruins.

In that battle, tens of thousands of Huiyao City Imperial Guards surrounded Li Mansion.

At that time, the strong men roared, the battleships roared, the formations shattered, the blue sky was bloody, and the raging flames burned the high-walled compound, and also swallowed up countless resisting figures of the Li clan!

After a heart-stopping brutal battle, the once glorious mansion became a scorched ruin.

The Li family's retainers suffered numerous casualties.

Blood stained every inch of the land here.

And all this is because of one person——

Li Chenyuan.

This name once represented glory.

Represents the benchmark for the younger generation of geniuses in the Holy Empire.

The young man named Li Chenyuan was once the idol of countless new generation human geniuses in the empire.

Gentle as the wind, humble and progressive.

This is the evaluation of Li Chenyuan by many elders.

A humble gentleman is like jade.

This is the evaluation of Li Chenyuan by many peers.

A polite and virtuous corporal with benevolence and righteousness at heart.

This is the evaluation of Li Chenyuan by many civilians.

Top family background, excellent talent, super high emotional intelligence, absolute self-control, and outstanding will

Any young person who gets one of these five can become a man of the hour.

But Li Chenyuan has five.

This kind of praise reached its peak when Li Chenyuan took the initiative to apply and resolutely became a member of the tribute group's mad believers, regardless of the dissuasion of his family elders.

This is a difficult decision.

Because as we all know, becoming a member of the Tribute Group is a superficial honor, but once you enter the Emperor's Temple, it will be gone forever and become history, and will no longer have the slightest connection with this prosperous world.

In essence, there is no difference from death.

None of the fanatic believers who entered the Emperor's Temple survived alive.

No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.

Therefore, this so-called glory is actually a disaster that many top powerful disciples avoid.

But Li Chenyuan was consistent in his words.

He proved with practical actions that his loyalty to the Emperor was not just words, but real actions.

The Li family was also highly praised for this.

Everything originally went as expected.

If there are no accidents, although Li Chenyuan is gone forever, he will become a model respected by the three top powerful giants, a symbol of glory that is constantly mentioned, and an official propaganda.

But the accident still occurred.

Li Chenyuan left and came back.

As the leader of the group, he led forty-nine fanatics and walked out of the Emperor's Temple alive for the first time in history.

The empire was shaken.

I thought this would be another peak of glory for Li Chenyuan.

Who would have known that in less than ten hours, Li Chenyuan and his comrades would turn from heroes who had fallen into the dust into sinners who betrayed the empire.

The Li family was robbed as a result.

Under the encirclement and suppression of Huiyao City's imperial army, no matter how great the glory is, it will become ashes. It is said that on the day of the battle, two new ancestors of the military from Huiyao City took action, and the previous head of the Li family, Li Yaori, was also the only one in the Li family. A new ancestor fell in battle.

After paying a huge price, the Li family miraculously broke out of the siege, protected Li Chenyuan, a traitor, and escaped, leaving the imperial capital and embarking on the road to escape.

The original Li family mansion turned into a scorched earth.

Few people arrive.

This place is already an abandoned place.

Even in the daytime, no one showed up.

But tonight is an exception.

Lin Beichen's figure melted into the darkness and appeared silently.

He stood in the shadow of the collapsed stone palace, gathered his breath, and looked around.

"So, it is a lie that the core members of the Li Mansion fled away, but it is true that they are hiding in the ruins of this mansion?"

Lin Beichen raised his middle finger and rubbed his eyebrows.

Although he didn't know how Gongsun Longquan got the news, he still chose to believe it.

Since the return of the tribute group, everything that has happened has been strange and abnormal. It is not impossible that the Li family did not escape, but took risks to stay.

Even if we think about it carefully, staying here in the dark under the lamp is actually the best choice.

Lin Beichen's eyes searched under the moonlight.

But at this moment, something suddenly moved in his heart and he noticed something.

Slight energy fluctuations came from a distance.

There were faint ripples in the void.

Two figures appeared in the Li Mansion ruins like ghosts.

Their cultivation was extremely powerful, as if they had merged into the void. They carefully concealed their Qi, as if they were afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders, and their goals were very clear. They walked directly towards the western section of the ruins. stopped in front of the giant statue of the God of War.

This statue of the God of War was originally 100 meters high and exquisitely carved. It was one of the landmark buildings of the Li Mansion. It was said to be carved in the image of the Li family ancestors, but now it has become a waste because the base was destroyed and has tilted. On the ground, he was cut into two pieces by an extremely terrifying sword intent. A staggered crack appeared on his waist, and the exposed cross-section was as smooth as a mirror.

"This is it."

"It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get it."

The two looked happy and communicated in low voices.

One of them raised his hand to rotate and press the left eye and right ear of the stone statue.

Rumble.

The collapsed stone statue shook.

The base moved slowly, revealing a black corridor entrance.

The two figures couldn't wait to enter.

Then the base returns to its original shape and the tunnel disappears.

Lin Beichen came to the collapsed stone statue.

"This is a mechanism, not a formation."

He observed carefully.

The mechanism does not contain energy fluctuations and relies purely on physical machinery. It is a very primitive and rare craft that is not included in the Twenty-Four Bloodline Paths. Because it does not contain energy fluctuations, it is easily ignored by martial arts experts.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why the Li family can escape the pursuit of the Royal Forest Army?

But that's not all.

The Royal Forest Army should not make such a mistake.

So where did the two people just come from?

Lin Beichen's heart moved, he moved forward and copied the operation method of the two people before.

Rumble.

The boulder base moved again.

The entrance to the black corridor is revealed.

He is an expert and bold person and jumps right into it.

After walking along the stone steps of the corridor for more than a dozen steps, the entrance was blocked by the automatic movement of the stone statue again, and it was at this moment that Lin Beichen heard shouts of death coming from deep below.

"Haha, Li Chenyuan, you are indeed here."

One of the voices was thunderous, laughing and extremely excited.

This made Lin Beichen also excited.

It's a worthwhile trip.
