Chapter 402: Saint Pool

Chapter 402: Saint Pool

The dark tunnel was a stark contrast to the majestic area before, which made him slightly uncomfortable.

The Saint Pool was at the deepest part of the Imperial City and was near a dark corner.

When Ye Zhongming came here, he saw that there weren’t lamps at the top. The area was dark, and only when they got close they saw a giant stone statue carved into the mountain.

Neal told Ye Zhongming that it was the servant of the god. But Ye Zhongming felt like it looked like a demon monster.

They entered the body of the mountain through its mouth, which was this dark tunnel. The most narrow part could fit two people. Ye Zhongming didn’t understand why it was so majestic outside, but it was like an ant nest here.

But he realized that he was wrong. After he passed the narrow tunnel, he entered the giant mountain body. This place wasn’t as wide as the Imperial City but as big as a street on Earth.

Statues stood around, and they looked like they were alive. Each was a few dozen meters tall and had all sorts of poses. They all held weapons.

“These are the Kings that reached level nine. Only they have the right to have statues in the Saint Land.”

Neal led some Posthumous people and a Pool Guardian to bow respectfully towards these statues. Ye Zhongming followed. Whether on Earth or in the Blue Secret Realm, those who reached level nine were worthy of respect.

Their history was long, and hundreds of statues here recorded their past glory. Unfortunately, that glory was gone, and they had no more level-nine experts.

They passed through the row of statues and saw a sacrificial platform connected to the ground by hundreds of steps. On it was a giant pool, which should be the Saint Pool.

“You need to bow every ten steps. Follow me.” That Pool Guardian said solemnly.

He led the way.

Ye Zhongming learned as he did. Some guards followed behind him. Five of them held the demon crystals and material bags.

He found some level eight and above materials and made a few pieces of silver equipment to give to Neal. This King loved the equipment that increased his strength. He passed three to the three level-eight Kings and obtained the right for Ye Zhongming to enter this place.

The glow of the Rainbow Gate was a good explanation of the process. They saw the light flash and thought that he had completed the ritual.

After he placed the gate, he nodded to Neal. He then kept the crystals and materials. But he took the opportunity to place the high-level ones into his space.

“King Neal, we can go.”

Everything was normal, and this Wanderer didn’t lie to him. Neal heaved a sigh of relief. He was taking a huge risk for this. If Ye Zhongming had any other goal, like desecrating or spoiling the pool, he would have had to pay a huge price.

They walked down the pool and out of the mountain. When they were at the entrance, an accident happened.

Hundreds walked towards them. In front were two level-seven Kings. Ye Zhongming knew that things weren’t good.

When he saw Bent’s vicious face, he understood what was happening.

“It is you! You are the one that could create the shining weapons!”

Bent shouted.

“King Hongxiang, he is the one that killed my father, Dabu, and wiped out my tribe. He is not a wanderer; he is a traitor from Dawn Saint Hall!”

Even King Neal and the level-eight Pool Guardian looked at Ye Zhongming.

He knew he couldn’t wait anymore. He didn’t even turn and just leaned back. He knocked into those warriors who carried the bags. He grabbed them and activated Rainbow Gate. The gate appeared behind him, and he crashed into the gate.

“Stop him!”

He was swift. It took just three seconds, and even Neal didn’t react. That level-eight Pool Guardian opened his eyes in rage. He slapped at Ye Zhongming, and it arrived on his body when the gate closed!

Blood spurted out. The gate closed, and Ye Zhongming disappeared from beneath their eyelids.
