However, Zhou Yan was not in the mood to admire the palace now. He had to leave this place quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if the city guards discovered his tracks.
Zhou Yan carefully bypassed the corpses of several guards, preparing to leave this place without a sound, but at this moment, Zhou Yan found that his path was blocked by soldiers, at least three or four hundred of them. These soldiers were all fully armored and held long spears, clearly prepared for attack.
"How did these soldiers discover me?" Zhou Yan asked in confusion. Logically, he should be hidden in the shadows now and had not shown any flaws.
"Jingle—" Just then, a crisp bell sound echoed throughout the entire square. Upon hearing this sound, Zhou Yan knew that it must have been made by the guards.
"Since you've discovered me, I won't hide anymore," Zhou Yan said with a cold smile as he looked at the guards in the distance.
"Kill!" After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the soldiers raised their spears and charged at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan directly wielded his skull scepter and swept away the spears that came at him.
"Bang bang bang..." The spears hit the stone pillars nearby, causing a violent collision.
Zhou Yan's speed was extremely fast, and he instantly rushed in front of a guard dozens of meters away, then punched the guard's head. The guard directly fell to the ground and died.
Zhou Yan killed his way through, and all the soldiers who blocked his path were defeated by Zhou Yan. Not a single soldier could withstand Zhou Yan's single move.
Soon, Zhou Yan broke into the palace. After entering the palace, Zhou Yan saw a man in black robes standing with his back to him.
"Are you the leader of this city?" Zhou Yan asked the man in black robes.
"Yes, I am Hastar, a divine general of the Undead. May I ask who you are and what you are doing here?" the man in black robes replied slowly.
"Zhou Yan, a Human Lord! The owner of the mine outside."
Zhou Yan said faintly, looking at Hastar.
"Oh, what are you doing here? Are you here to seize the treasures?" Hastar asked with a smile.
"Treasures, hehe, if you are willing to trade, I am happy to oblige, but I fear you may not have what I want," Zhou Yan said.
"The most precious thing our Undead race possesses is the seed of Undying Flame. If you want it, I can give it to you, but you need to help me deal with the enemies of this city," Hastar said faintly, seeming to not believe that Zhou Yan could help him win this battle.
"Oh?"
Seed of Undying Flame?
It was a Tier 3 material that could be used to upgrade troops and defensive towers. He didn't expect to get it here.
"Deal, but I haven't noticed any monsters here, as this palace has been abandoned for so long."
From the outside, Zhou Yan mostly saw undead legions, which should be Hastar's troops. So where were his so-called enemies?
"Underground!" Hastar pointed to the ground.
"Underground, what do you mean?" Zhou Yan asked in confusion.
"There is a space underground that seals many powerful beings. However, the barrier here has been broken, and those sealed demons are about to escape. So, you need to help me deal with those demons first," Hastar said.
"Is that all you want?" Zhou Yan asked Hastar.
"That's right. If you can help me eliminate these demons, I will give you a gift," Hastar said faintly.
"Alright, I agree."
"Xiànzhèn Battalion, heed my command!"
With Zhou Yan's order, Gao Shun and the five hundred elite soldiers of the Xiànzhèn Battalion entered from outside the palace and knelt neatly before Zhou Yan.
"Follow me." Zhou Yan waved his hand and walked forward, with the other soldiers following behind him.
Hastar glanced at Zhou Yan's departing back, a mysterious smile on his face. This young man was very interesting.
Zhou Yan led the Xiànzhèn Battalion for a long distance and finally reached the other end of the palace. In this place, there was a huge door with a red symbol painted on it.
"What is this?" Zhou Yan asked, pointing at the large door.
"This is the teleportation gate to the entrance of the Abyss. Our Undead race usually leaves the Abyss through this gate, and as long as this gate exists, we will never get lost in the void turbulence. You humans can also enter and exit the Abyss from here, but it comes at a price, so you usually don't use this method," Hastar explained to Zhou Yan.
"So that's how it is, I understand," Zhou Yan nodded. Zhou Yan finally understood why this town had become like this. It turned out that the people of this town did not dare to enter the Abyss, so they could only use this passage.
"I believe you can tell me about the Abyss now?" Zhou Yan said, looking at Hastar.
"Of course."
Hastar looked at Zhou Yan and said.
"The Abyss is the last pure land of our Undead race. It has endless wealth, countless treasures, and abundant resources. As long as you can help me eliminate those enemies, I am willing to share all my wealth with you." Dafeng Novel Network
"Good! I agree!"
Zhou Yan said without hesitation.
"I won't go in. Behind the gate are demons. Demons have always been hostile to our Undead race. I'll leave them to you to handle," Hastar turned and left.
"Yes!" Gao Shun replied respectfully.
"Xiànzhèn Battalion! Form ranks!" Zhou Yan shouted. The Xiànzhèn Battalion immediately formed a circular battle formation, and then Zhou Yan leaped into the passage. The Xiànzhèn Battalion immediately followed behind Zhou Yan and ran forward.
Soon, Zhou Yan saw many demons ahead, all of them at the Divine Human realm.
"Roar~" A group of demons roared and pounced at Zhou Yan and the others when they saw them charging.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The weapons in the hands of the Xiànzhèn Battalion emitted light, and with a single slash, they severed the arms, legs, or torsos of those demons.
Zhou Yan cleared the path ahead, and the Xiànzhèn Battalion followed closely behind. These demons were no match for the Xiànzhèn Battalion.
Zhou Yan pushed his way through, and no obstacles could stop the Xiànzhèn Battalion. At this moment, the might of the Xiànzhèn Battalion was displayed. These demons were as fragile as a crumbling project in front of the Xiànzhèn Battalion.
Soon, all these demons were eliminated. At this time, Zhou Yan clearly saw the underground cave that Hastar had mentioned.
Zhou Yan walked to the depths of the cave, where there was a huge altar. Many strange patterns were carved on the altar.
