The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1423 - 1424: Ancient City

Capítulo 1423: Chapter 1424: Ancient City

The scene inside the Ancient City made everyone feel a chill down their spines.

In the city, various races were walking back and forth, appearing as living people, bustling with noise and excitement.

But strangely, when they stood at the city gate, they couldn’t hear any sound, as if the entire Ancient City was silent.

Yet before their eyes, they could clearly see lively scenes.

In the Ancient City, there were Humans and Immortals haggling. There were Apes and Illusions walking on the streets, seemingly observing something.

The main street was very spacious, with various shops flanking both sides, quite prosperous.

The sight before them was truly worthy of a city that transcends two epochs.

However, the aura of this ancient city made them clearly feel that it had weathered many years.

Around the city, in the wild, there was no trace of human presence.

It was evident this Ancient City had been abandoned for many years, without anyone emerging from it during that time.

Logically, this Ancient City should be a dead city.

“What’s going on?” Lin Qian stood at the entrance of the Ancient City, looking ahead with confusion in his eyes.

Ahead, Qing Yue had entered the city, appearing to ripple like water waves as he went in.

However, after entering the city, Lin Qian mysteriously lost contact with Qing Yue, as if Qing Yue, sent ahead to scout, had disappeared.

Yet Lin Qian could see Qing Yue clearly walking on the streets of the Ancient City.

And Qing Yue had turned around, looking at his emperor.

Evidently, this strange shift left Qing Yue puzzled as well, unsure of what to do next and whether to continue executing the emperor’s orders.

“Your Majesty, I can’t decipher what’s happening here.” Zhuge Ming bowed respectfully to Lin Qian, looking at the bizarre situation in front of them. “I am of no help…”

Lin Qian waved his hand and helped Zhuge Ming up: “It’s alright, Prime Minister, you’ve done your best. What surprises me is the fact that even you can’t figure out the situation; now that is interesting.”

This Prime Minister, with his vast knowledge, had not encountered a single issue in this world that could stump him. There was no circumstance he couldn’t comprehend.

And beside him, Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan also looked at Zhuge Ming in astonishment, sharing the same sentiment.

Zhuge Ming, who seemed to know everything, suddenly couldn’t understand what was going on?

“Could they be descendants of the Ancient or Primal epochs, living here in seclusion?” wondered Lin Ancestor, rubbing his chin and looking at his grandson. “What do we do, shall we go in or…?”

Ye Xuanyan also gazed at Lin Qian, knowing he was now their mainstay.

Even though Lin Qian was their junior, he was also the master of this corner of the Chaos Universe; at least safety was assured by his side.

Despite the mysterious situation, Lin Ancestor believed his grandson’s fate was equally mysterious.

Looking at the lively scene within the Ancient City, Lin Qian saw Qing Yue safe and sound among them.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qian took a deep breath and made a decision: “Let’s go in and have a look.”

As he said this, Lin Qian activated his thoughts, and several figures suddenly appeared around him, all borrowing the bodies of puppets to present the peak battle power of the Huaxia Empire.

Among them, there was a familiar face, Sun Wukong!

And there were also Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master, whose knowledge was vast, and they were also reincarnations of true spirits from their homeland, extraordinary individuals indeed.

Their assistance, along with Zhuge Ming’s, provided enough support to unravel the mystery of the Ancient City.

Another was Xu Meng, the honest captain known for his formidable and domineering defense capabilities, ensuring there was no need to worry about safety.

After summoning them, Zhuge Ming briefly explained the situation, particularly emphasizing to Xu Meng: “Make sure to protect His Majesty, in case of unexpected situations.”

Xu Meng nodded, patting his chest and assuring Zhuge Ming: “Don’t worry, Prime Minister, His Majesty’s safety is old Xu’s responsibility.”

Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan exchanged glances, pursing their lips.

They were already aware of the capable and formidable team under Lin Qian. Furthermore, since these individuals appeared using puppet bodies, they sometimes wondered just how powerful their true forms must be.

Having prepared everything, Lin Qian felt at ease and stepped toward the Ancient City.

When they passed through the gateway of the Ancient City, it was as if they touched the surface of the water, a chilly sensation enveloping their bodies.

The next moment, loud sounds for what seemed like the first time, reached their ears, filling them with the bustling noise of the lively Ancient City.

On the streets of the Ancient City, the passersby curiously glanced at them, openly commenting.

“Look at those clothes they’re wearing, how strange!”

“Indeed, and the fluctuation of their Soul Energy is peculiar and unfamiliar.”

“If you look closely, the arrays they have are impressive.”

The surrounding onlookers regarded Lin Qian and his group as if they were looking at something novel, their stares full of curiosity.

Meanwhile, as the crowd sized them up, Zhuge Ming carefully observed them as well.

Soon after, Zhuge Ming informed Lin Qian of his findings: “Your Majesty, the Soul Devices and arrays on their clothes are very ancient, clearly from a different era, the style of the Ancient and Primal epochs.”

Zhuge Ming’s discovery earned Lin Qian’s silent acknowledgment, and he understood that the lifestyle and artifacts in this Ancient City retained marks of the Ancient and Primal epochs.

Originally, he thought this city was merely a well-preserved relic, but unexpectedly, things were far from his expectations.

A sudden thought crossed Lin Qian’s mind, and he stepped into a nearby shop.

In this shop, with a sign reading “Hundred Treasure Pavilion,” it was evidently a place selling various goods.

Entering the shop, Lin Qian unhesitatingly purchased a Pill from the counter, intending to pay with a Soul Crystal.

But when he took out the Soul Crystal, the shopkeeper seemed genuinely stunned: “Sir, what do you mean by this?”
