Chapter 1839: found

imperial capital.
Qianlin District.
The night was shrouded in cold fog.
The light of the silver moon shrouded the ruins, the broken walls, the collapsed temple walls, the charred beams, some broken glass that shimmered slightly under the moonlight, and the ornaments were like pieces of silver falling in the dust, which could vaguely distinguish the prosperity of the carved beams and painted buildings in the past.
This is Li Mansion.
The home of Li Chenyuan, the proud son of heaven.
The Li family a few days ago was the imperial capital—no, it is no exaggeration to say that it was the top wealthy family in the entire empire.
The four sons of the Li family serve in the Sacred Cabinet, the Sacred Council, and the City of Shining Light.
But now, all glory is dust in the wind.
The Li family is dead.
A battle a few days ago turned the giants into ruins.
In that battle, tens of thousands of Glorious City Royal Forest Army surrounded Li Mansion.
When it was, the strong man roared, the battleship roared, the formation shattered, the blue sky blew blood, the raging flames burned down the high-walled compound, and engulfed countless figures of the resistance of the Li clan!
After a heart-pounding and brutal war, the once-great luxury mansion has become a scorched ruin.
The Li family members suffered countless casualties.
Blood stained every inch of the land here.
And all this, just because of one person—
Li Chenyuan.
This name used to represent glory.
Represents the benchmark for the young genius of 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 what many elders say about Li Chenyuan.
A modest gentleman, his person is like jade.
This is what many peers say about Li Chenyuan.
Li Xian Corporal, benevolence and righteousness at heart.
This is what many civilians say about Li Chenyuan.
Top-level family background, excellent talent, high emotional intelligence, absolute self-control, excellent will...
Of these five, any young man who has one of them can become a famous person.
But Li Chenyuan has five of them.
This kind of praise reached its peak when Li Chenyuan took the initiative to apply and resolutely became a member of the tribute group, regardless of the dissuasion of the elders of the family.
This is a difficult decision.
Because it is well known that being 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 it will no longer have the slightest connection with this prosperous world.
In essence, it is no different from death.
None of the mad believers who entered the Emperor's Temple in the past have survived.
Live without people, dead without corpses.
So this so-called glory is actually a disaster that many top powerful disciples avoid.
But Li Chenyuan was the same.
He proved his loyalty to the Emperor with practical actions, not just in words, but in actions.
The Li family was also highly praised for this.
Everything went as expected.
If there is no accident, although Li Chenyuan will never return, he will become a model respected by the three top power giants, a symbol of glory that is constantly mentioned, and become an official propaganda.
But the accident still happened.
Li Chen was destined to go and return.
As the head of the group, he took forty-nine fanatics and walked out alive from the Emperor's Temple for the first time in history.
The empire shook.
I thought this would be another peak of Li Chenyuan's glory.
Who knows, in less than ten hours, Li Chenyuan and his comrades-in-arms have changed from heroes to the dust to sinners who betrayed the empire.
The Li family was robbed because of this.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the Royal Forest Army of Huiyao City, no matter how great the glory, it will become flying ash. It is said that on the day of the war, there were two new military ancestors of Huiyao City, and Li Yaori, the former head of the Li family, 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, protecting Li Chenyuan, a traitor, to escape, leaving the imperial capital and embarking on a road of escape.
The original Li family mansion has become a piece of scorched earth.
Few people come.
This place has been abandoned.
Even in the daytime, no one appeared.
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 hall, restrained his breath, and looked around.
"So, it's fake that the core members of the Li family have fled, and is it real that they are hiding in the ruins of this mansion?"
Lin Beichen raised his 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 happened has revealed strangeness and abnormality. The Li family did not escape, but was willing to take a risk and stay. It is not impossible.
Even if you think about it carefully, it would be the best choice to stay here in the dark under the lights.
Lin Beichen's eyes searched under the moonlight.
At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he noticed something.
A slight energy fluctuation came from a distance.
There are faint ripples in the void.
Like ghosts, two figures appeared in the ruins of Li Mansion.
Their cultivation base is extremely powerful, and they seem to be integrated into the void. They carefully hide their qi, as if they are afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders, and their goals are very clear. stopped in front of the giant Valkyrie statue.
This statue of the of war was originally 100 meters high and beautifully carved. It is one of the landmark buildings of the Li Mansion. It is said that it was carved in the image of the ancestors of the Li family, but now it has become a waste, because the base has been destroyed and has been tilted. On the ground, it was cut into two pieces by a terrifying sword intent, and a split-level crack appeared in the waist, and the cross-section exposed by mistake was as smooth as a mirror.
"It's here."
"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to get it."
The two looked happy and communicated in low voices.
One of them raised his hand and rotated and pressed the stone statue's left eye and right ear.
Boom.
The collapsed stone statue shook.
The base moved slowly, revealing a black tunnel.
The two figures can't wait to enter.
Then the base returns to its original state, and the corridor disappears.
Lin Beichen came to the front of the collapsed stone statue.
"This is a mechanism, not a formation."
He observed carefully.
The mechanism does not contain energy fluctuations. It relies purely on physical machinery. It is a very primitive and rare craftsmanship. It is not included in the twenty-four blood vessels. Because it does not contain energy fluctuations, it is easily ignored by martial arts experts.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Li family can escape the pursuit of the imperial army?
But by no means all.
The Imperial Forest Army should not make such a mistake.
So where did the two people just now come from?
Lin Beichen moved in his heart, stepped forward, and copied it according to the operation method of the two people before.
Boom.
The boulder base was moved away again.
The entrance of the black corridor is exposed.
He was a daring artist and went directly into it.
Following the stone steps of the corridor to the countryside, he took only a dozen steps, and the entrance was blocked by the automatic movement of the stone statue again. At this moment, Lin Beichen heard the shouts and shouts from the depths below.
"Haha, Li Chenyuan, you really are here."
One of the voices was thunderous, he laughed and was extremely excited.
This made Lin Beichen excited too.
Well worth the trip.
