The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

Besides him, there were three other people like the Holy Maiden!

Could it be..

Not Good, he had been tricked!

Su Yu no longer hid anything and immediately retreated. With the help of the Taiji Yin-yang wings, he disappeared from where he was.

The empress smiled faintly and pushed open the door with her palm.

As expected, the Holy Maiden, manager Zhang, and Wang Ying were all tied up in the stone pillars in the hall.

Manager Zhang’s situation was the most miserable. His entire body was covered in blood. Although his injuries could not be seen, judging from the amount of blood, he must have experienced inhuman torture.

Wang Ying was slightly better, but not much better.

Only the SAINTESS was still in good condition.

“I have to say, you immortals are very powerful. You are proficient in disguising yourselves and can easily disguise yourselves as our people. Unfortunately, you can only hide it from ordinary people, but you can not hide it from the innate senses of the royal family.”The empress waved her sleeves lightly. “Go, find him!”

The imperial guards behind her left with an indifferent expression, looking for Su Yu.

Manager Zhang looked up to the sky and sighed. “It’s over! Even the moon worship sect leader fell for it!”

Hearing this, the SAINTESS smiled bitterly. She stared at the Empress’s face with a hint of fear in her eyes.

She thought that the wisdom of mortals was easy to deceive.

Who knew that this empress was incomparably wise.

When she heard that there were four people who had seen immortals, the first thing she suspected was that the four of them were the real immortals who had sneaked in.

However, she did not immediately arrest them. Instead, she summoned them one by one, luring them to this great hall.

This great hall was exceptionally special. It possessed an extremely strong dao of the common people. Anyone who approached it would be contaminated by the aura of the Dao of the common people. They would immediately be able to sense their exact location, and there was no way for them to escape.

This was exactly what happened to manager Zhang. No matter how high his cultivation level was, no matter how hard he tried to break out of the imperial palace, he was easily suppressed by the imperial guards with the will of the common people.

What followed was an inhumane torture!

Their plan this time was actually very perfect. If everything went smoothly, they should be able to sneak into the palace and obtain the props.

Unfortunately, there was only one thing that they didn’t expect. That was that the members of the imperial family were naturally able to sense who was the embodiment of the way of the common people and who wasn’t!

Therefore, when the Empress summoned them, she saw through them when they met.

“Is he the Moon Worship sect leader?”The Empress revealed a sinister smile. “He seems to be a slightly special person!”

Just as she was about to step into the hall, yin and yang Qi suddenly appeared behind her.

Without waiting for the empress to turn around, a strong palm reached out from her shoulder and grabbed her throat. A cold voice was heard. “You are right. I am indeed special.”

He did not run away like a headless chicken like the three of them. Instead, he turned around and took advantage of the Empress’s relaxed state to take her hostage.

From the looks of it, the only way to save the three saintesses and obtain the props was to take the empress hostage.

The Empress’s smile froze and she said angrily, “You are really cunning!”

“Same here!”Su Yu smiled knowingly. With a flick of his finger, he released the SAINTESS. As for the other two, they smiled and said, “The two of You, pray for your own good luck.”

The smile that had just condensed on the faces of manager Zhang and Wang Ying immediately shattered.

Wang ying growled, “Moon Worship sect master! Aren’t you afraid that the Sword Alliance master will find out that you treat me like this?”

Su Yu didn’t mind. “So what if he knows? When I get the props, it will be the king-contending stage. Do I Still Expect Your Sword Alliance Master to show Mercy to me?”

Wang Ying’s words froze. Her face was full of gloom and anger.

Manager Zhang stared at Su Yu without saying a word,

in fact, if it were them, they would not have rescued the other party either. There was no reason for them to create two more enemies for themselves during the king-contending stage.

They could only blame themselves. They were not as smart as Su Yu!

Why did they not think of kidnapping the Empress?

“How dare you!”The empress gritted her teeth.

Su Yu held her waist with his other hand and secretly groped her toward her waist, he was about to pull out the dagger at her waist with his slender jade-like palm and pressed her down. “Empress, it’s best not to act Rashly. To Us Immortals, your every move can not escape our eyes.”

The Empress was immediately embarrassed and angry when she was embraced by Su Yu. “I am the son of Heaven. How dare you disrespect me? Quickly put down your dirty hand...”

Su Yu’s hand that was holding her throat exerted a little strength, causing the empress to be unable to speak.

“Let’s cut to the chase. Take us to the place where the props are hidden,”Su Yu said plainly. “Don’t tell me that you don’t know anything. As members of the imperial family who can live forever, you should at least understand.”

The Empress struggled for a moment before she helplessly compromised. “Alright, I will take you to the hall where the props are stored!”

Under Su Yu’s coercion, the two of them passed through unimpeded and arrived at the imperial family’s ancestral hall.

“The props are there.”The empress pointed at a bamboo tube on the altar. “That’s it.”

A trace of joy flashed across the Saintess’eyes. “There’s no mistaking it. There’s the aura of the props inside!”

She grabbed the props into her palm through the air.

However, when the bamboo tube was opened, there was nothing inside. All that was left was the aura of the props that slowly dissipated.

The SAINTESS was stunned. “How could this be?”

Su Yu was also surprised. He said in a serious tone, “Empress, you think that we don’t dare to kill you, right?”

The empress smiled mockingly. “I’m not lying. That is the ancestral artifact that has been passed down in our imperial family until now. It is also the prop that you guys are talking about.”

“What about the prop inside?”The SAINTESS asked.

The empress replied, “It was taken away by the rebel army during an internal conflict. The prop is nowhere to be found. We only found the bamboo tube.”

Su Yu and the Saintess’hearts sank.

The prop was actually missing!

If that was the case, the first round would not end, and they would not be able to start the king-contending stage for a long time.

And as long as the king-contending stage was not opened, all of them would be trapped in the game of chess for a long time.

“I have searched for many years, but I still haven’t found it. So you don’t have to waste your effort.”The Empress showed pity.

Su Yu pondered for a moment and stared at the altar.

There were many memorial tablets on the altar from top to bottom. They belonged to the members of the royal family.

Suddenly, Su Yu realized that something was wrong.

Didn’t they say that the members of the Royal Family Could Live Forever? Where did the memorial tablets come from?

His eyes flashed as he opened the clairvoyance eye.

“Saintess, remove all the memorial tablets!”As expected, he noticed something unusual.

The SAINTESS nodded and waved her sleeve, sweeping away all the memorial tablets and moving the huge altar away, revealing a wall.

The wall was decorated with stars like a brilliant galaxy.

“Inter-civilization teleportation formation?”Su Yu and the Saintess exclaimed in surprise.

What was placed in front of them was an inter-civilization teleportation formation.

They only needed a star map and a star stone to teleport through this formation.

What was more surprising was that there was a hidden wooden box on the wall.

The SAINTESS opened it and was surprised to find that there was a star map and a star stone inside.

“Unbelievable, there is a complete teleportation formation here!”The Saintess said in surprise.

The empress was slightly stunned. “An inter-civilization teleportation array... what is that?”

“It’s a teleportation array that can allow one to leave this place,”Su Yu said indifferently.

After confirming that the item wasn’t here, Su Yu stared at the teleportation array.

Could it be that the original intention of leaving behind this teleportation item was to allow them to leave the Cangsheng chess in peace, considering that they might not be able to find the item?

As long as it was activated, everyone would be able to leave the chess of the common life and head to another civilization.

However, was it really necessary?

He had already obtained the scabbard of the Emperor’s killing sword and was only short of obtaining the emperor’s killing sword.

If he could become the final victor of the chess of the common life and make the wish to obtain the emperor’s killing sword, he would be able to completely control it!

With it, Su Yu would be able to become the Emperor of Heaven and Earth in no time!

However, if he were to give up now, all his hard work would go down the drain.

However, there was no longer any possibility at the moment.

The prop had been lost many years ago, so it was impossible for it to appear again.

“Then, should you be so angry that you want to kill me now?”The Empress said with a miserable smile.

Su Yu remained silent for a while and said, “Let’s go.”

She still held the Empress and arrived at the edge of the Cangsheng region in a flash.

When she stepped out of the Cangsheng region with half a foot, Su Yu let go of his palm and completely left the Cangsheng region.

The Empress was stunned. She stood at the edge of the Cangsheng region and asked meaningfully, “You aren’t going to kill me?”

“Why should I kill you?”Su Yu asked in return. “It’s our fault for wantonly killing, but it doesn’t mean that everyone is easy to kill.”

“Let’s go back.”He waved his hand and turned around to leave.

The empress gazed at Su Yu’s back and said mysteriously, “Since you are not bad, maybe I can tell you a secret.”

Su Yu sighed. What secret could she know? Unless it was related to the props, he wasn’t interested.

The saintess secretly looked at Su Yu’s expression and giggled. “Oh? It seems that the empress really admires our moon worship sect leader!”

Su Yu said unhappily, “You still have the heart to joke around? Think about what to do. We can either withdraw from the game or find a way to find a prop.”

However, just as Su Yu finished speaking, the empress said faintly, “I don’t quite understand. A person who holds a prop in his hand is still looking around for a prop.”

HMM?

Su Yu and the Saintess turned their heads at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt.

At this moment, the Empress had her hands behind her back, and her expression revealed a meaningful smile.

Su Yu frowned, “What do you mean?”

“I mean it literally.”The Empress gave a faint smile, appearing extremely wise. “Didn’t I give you the prop a long time ago?”

As she spoke, a group of imperial guards rushed over to rescue her.

The one leading them were two women dressed as men. One of them was the one who passed down the decree, and the other was the little palace maid that Su Yu had saved!

However, at this moment, her gaze was sharp and her aura was like a flower. She led a large group of imperial guards and rushed over.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”She knelt down and bowed. Her actions were clean and neat. She was completely different from the weak little palace maid from before!

Su Yu looked at her in confusion.

What was going on?

A group of imperial guards brought over the Dragon Chair. The empress spread her sleeves and leaned on it majestically. She smiled with wisdom and said, “Xiuwen, tell me what happened to Your Savior, right?”

The palace maid raised her head and looked at Su Yu. Her expression was calm, “Young Master Lian, I am the Emperor’s personal guard. I am not an ordinary palace maid.”
