C4208 The Altar at the Heart of the Lake
Hearing Lu Changqing's words, everyone recalled the appearance of that Mister Zhou.
His left ear had a long earlobe, but his right ear only had half of it. It was as if it had been damaged and looked rather strange.
"That's right, he's Zhou Xing! It must be him!" An elder from the Holy Land shouted.
Only the older generation knew about these things.
But just hearing about it was enough to shock people. Those who could advance in the Imperial Examinations had always been invincible among the young generation in the Heaven Realm. They had actually traveled with such people before.
"That year's Champion was the current Lu Family, Family Head, Lu Jiuding. Those who had advanced in the same period of time either became influential figures in the dynasty, or powerful experts that shook a region. Only he, like a rat crossing the street, could only hide himself. I wonder what kind of mentality he'll have."
While they were on their way, they had already guessed the identity of Mister Zhou.
Many of them came to a sudden understanding. No wonder this Mister Zhou's words were filled with hatred and ruthlessness. So it turned out that he'd encountered such an incident.
"So you're all here!"
Lu Yu's senses were sharp, and he stopped in front of a lake.
Behind the palace, an ancient tree towered into the sky.
After passing through the dense forest, there was the sound of flowing water. In the distance, there was another lake. The surface of the lake was like a mirror, and there were no ripples.
There was an island on the lake that was about a hundred acres wide. There was an altar on the island that was set up high above the earth. The altar was surrounded by eight small altars. There were several stone statues of generals carved on them, and they stood there quietly.
The black iron chains wrapped around the nine altars. The altar in the middle was the largest. On the base, there were stone statues of dragons, tigers, qilins, phoenixes and other divine beasts. It was ancient and extraordinary.
A black coffin was quietly lying on the top of the altar. The ground of the altar was covered with dense ancient runes, which were mysterious and unpredictable.
The coffin was completely wrapped up by nineteen iron chains, and there were cinnabar characters drawn on the surface of the coffin. It was like dark red blood, and it was incomparably terrifying.
At this moment, King Qi and Mister Zhou were standing on the altar, their hands constantly casting spells in an attempt to open the chains and open the coffin.
"Zhou Xing, your plan has failed!" Lu Changqing loudly shouted, his voice shaking like thunder.
This voice was like thunder on the ground. The two people standing on the altar shivered at the same time.
"These people actually didn't die?" King Qi frowned.
He had wanted Zhou Xing to stall the others and open the coffin himself, but to his surprise, the army of soldiers had failed to kill these people.
Zhou Xing took a step forward, holding a feather fan in his hand, and said indifferently, "It's fine. I have the official seal of the ancient Sacred Dynasty. I am almost invincible here. Your Highness, continue opening the coffin."
"Get rid of them as soon as possible!" King Qi said in a deep voice.
Zhou Xing strolled leisurely to the edge of the altar, his expression free and at ease, as if everything was under his control.
"Great Qin's soldiers, listen to my orders!"
A loud and clear voice sounded out from Zhou Xing's mouth and echoed in all directions.
The sounds of horse hooves could be heard from the surrounding dense forest palaces as armored terracotta soldiers seemed to come alive and rode their horses over.
Rows of orderly battle formations were in high spirits. The ground began to shake violently. Even the surface of the lake around the altar was affected, causing waves to appear on the surface of the water.
