School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 787: Chapter 864: The Great Hall

A living person, in the blink of an eye, was completely drained and transformed into a dried corpse.

This terrifying scene made Chen Nan and the others unconsciously take a step back, as they could all see that the strength of this ancient corpse was even greater than those of the skeletons, completely beyond their ability to resist.

”Damn it.... We’re definitely done for now.”

The voice of the Black Feathered Chicken trembled. It managed to frighten an old monster that had lived for hundreds of years like this, showing how terrifying this ancient corpse was.

After draining Wang Xia’s blood, the ancient corpse let out a long howl to the sky, seemingly very excited, and lunged at Chen Nan with its arms wide open.

Its ghastly pale hands bore sharp nails.

Chen Nan swung the Demon Sword to strike back but just then, the ancient corpse suddenly stopped in its tracks. It sniffed the air as if it smelled something and its stagnant, hollow eyes stared at Chen Nan. Momentarily, tears actually began to flow, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

”What’s this situation?”

The Black Feathered Chicken and Zhao Han were shocked, and Chen Nan was dumbfounded, too.

It was one thing for those white bone skeletons to kneel, but why was this ancient corpse also kneeling?

The ancient corpse let out a low growl as if it was saying something to Chen Nan, but its voice sounded ghostly, and Chen Nan couldn’t understand it at all.

Looking at this ancient corpse, Chen Nan tentatively issued a command, saying, ”Stand up.”

The ancient corpse immediately stood up, straight and stiff in front of Chen Nan, its head slightly bowed in respect as if waiting for orders from a king.

Chen Nan secretly rejoiced. No matter what the reason, it seemed that this ancient corpse was really afraid of him.

Pointing towards the mansion’s grand hall, Chen Nan asked, ”Can we go in?”

The ancient corpse roared twice and then led the way to the grand hall of the Dead City house. Although Chen Nan couldn’t understand the roars of the ancient corpse, from its demeanor, it seemed to have agreed to let him inside.

Following the ancient corpse, the two humans and the chicken walked into the grand hall step by step.

The layout inside this grand hall was similar to a dusty old mansion, the only difference being that in the center of the hall, there stood a huge Black Stone Coffin.

This coffin felt peculiar, as if permeated with a mysterious aura, and was exceedingly large— at least three times larger than those coffins in the front courtyard, probably serving as this ancient corpse’s hiding spot.

”Is the Extreme Cold Treasure here?” Chen Nan asked.

The ancient corpse stood motionless, as if it did not understand what he was saying.

The Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and said, ”There’s no treasure here. That Wang guy must have lied to lure us in here, possibly to kill us.”

Chen Nan looked at the ancient corpse and asked, ”Do you know where the Extreme Cold Treasure is?”

The ancient corpse just kept staring blankly at him, clearly not understanding his question.

Chen Nan, feeling helpless, endlessly gestured with his hands because the ancient corpse could not comprehend his gestures. Eventually, he pointed towards the door and said, ”Go open the door.”

The door, which Zhao Han had failed to open despite exerting an immense effort, was easily pulled open by the ancient corpse with a gentle tug.

Chen Nan walked out the door and said to the ancient corpse, ”Come out, come with us.”

With many dangers lurking in the Dead City, and this ancient corpse seeming so obedient, having it by their side would alleviate their worries about being pursued by Ghost Soldiers.

Yet, to Chen Nan’s frustration, the ancient corpse kept shaking its head and roaring something incomprehensible.

”It seems like it can’t leave the Dead City,” said the Black Feathered Chicken.

Chen Nan nodded and said to the ancient corpse, ”Then you go in, I’ll come to find you if there’s anything.”

The ancient corpse immediately closed the large door of the mansion.

”Damn, that’s too creepy, scared the chicken to death.” The Black Feathered Chicken said, flapping its wings and letting out a sigh of relief.

Chen Nan sighed and continued with Zhao Han towards the center of Dead City. He had thought they would find the treasure, but instead, they were tricked by Wang Xiake. Unfortunately, the ancient corpse had killed him; otherwise, through severe torture, they would have eventually made him reveal the location of the treasure.

At that moment, suddenly, a flurry of fighting noises came, and two figures flew over the rooftops, continuously clashing.

Chen Nan recognized one of them; it was Guo Qiye.

As for the other, she was a woman surrounded by a Seven-colored Light, her entire body enveloped in Seven-colored Divine Light, making it impossible to discern her true appearance.

”Who is this woman?” Zhao Han suddenly asked.

Hearing him ask, Chen Nan also recalled something and exclaimed, ”When we entered Dead City, there were no women among those people. Where did this woman come from?”

”Could it be, she is from inside Dead City?”

Both of their faces looked somewhat unpleasant, even the Black Feathered Chicken had its feathers standing on end, its gaze profound.

If this woman was really from inside Dead City, that would be too eerie. Apart from lifeless beings inside Dead City, could there still be living people?

”Let’s follow and see.”

Chen Nan suggested, and the two jumped onto the roof, but they could not find the woman or Guo Qiye.

The Black Feathered Chicken said, ”It seems they went towards the central area.”

The two used Qinggong to leap over the rooftops, running towards the center of Dead City.

Since most of these buildings were less than ten meters tall, as long as they didn’t jump too high, they wouldn’t touch the dark cloud barrier and attract any lightning.

They carefully avoided the patrolling Ghost Soldiers in the alleys, and soon, the two of them, along with the chicken, arrived at the very center of Dead City. Guo Qiye and the woman shrouded in Seven-colored Light were also there, but at this moment, they had ceased fighting and were standing separately on one side.

Besides those two, there were more than ten people there, and among these ten people, there were even two women.

When they entered earlier, there certainly hadn’t been any women, but now suddenly there were three women. Could they all be from inside Dead City?

Chen Nan cautiously looked around and slowly walked over.

The reason these people were gathered here was because there was a huge ancient building in front of them, resembling a small palace, and it also emitted a chilling air. Everyone speculated that the Extreme Cold Treasure was inside, but no one dared to enter.

Because right in front of the main hall, there was a stele with four big characters — Enter Without Authorization, Die!

Previously, two who defied this warning entered, only to be turned into dried corpses and thrown out the next second; the corpses still lay on the ground, shriveled as if they had been dead for countless years.

”Chen Nan, it’s time to settle our scores,”

Corpse-controlling Sect disciple Han Yang came over with a cold smile, followed by five middle-aged men.

Among these five, aside from the two Nine Layers of Imperial Path they had seen before, three were unexpectedly Tenth Level of Tao masters, and these three were all unfamiliar faces, all unseen when they came in.

Where did these three come from?

Chen Nan really couldn’t figure it out. If these three were people from Dead City, with their level of Cultivation, why would they help Han Yang?
