Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 192 : Yellow Dragon
Chapter 192 - 192 : Yellow Dragon
However, Fang Yuan noticed one thing, which was that Yan Shouzheng addressed the emperor as "Yan Taizu" instead of the current emperor, Yan Wendian. How could that be?
Thinking about this, Fang Yuan casually made a gesture, summoning the ghost of the Northern Town Guardian once again.
"Tell me the whereabouts of Emperor Yan Wen, and what he is doing." Fang Yuan asked.
"Impossible." Yan Shouzheng, whose face was now that of a dead man, immediately replied, "No one outside can know His Majesty's situation. Even if you kill me, I won't reveal a single word."
"Tsk... this is indeed true," Fang Yuan muttered. He was somewhat surprised that his usual soul summoning and questioning technique had failed with Yan Shouzheng. This old man was really too loyal...
But there were always ways around problems.
After a brief thought, Fang Yuan spoke again, "You're right, but I'm worried that I might accidentally walk into His Majesty's location and unknowingly ruin His Majesty's plans. So, you have to tell me everything, so I can avoid that."
This argument worked. The little bit of rationality left in Yan Shouzheng's soul immediately felt that this reasoning made sense. He quickly responded, "You're right. His Majesty is in the deepest part of the Imperial Palace's underground tomb. He is in the crucial phase of taking over the Yellow Dragon's body. You must not disturb him."
An underground tomb?
Fang Yuan immediately activated the "True Sight Guard" he had placed in the area and, using a divine perspective, tracked all the way to the deepest part of the Imperial Palace. Sure enough, he discovered a massive underground tomb.
The tomb was as grand as the palace on the land. Through the view, Fang Yuan saw a huge vertical hole leading down.
The hole was so deep that even the "True Sight Guard" couldn't observe what was at the bottom. It seemed to lead straight to the earth's core.
The emperor must be down there, and his plan was to... take over the Yellow Dragon's body?
Fang Yuan no longer hesitated. He took Yan Shouzheng with him and flew toward the underground tomb.
In the pitch-black underground tomb, Liu Dong kept his head lowered, struggling to suppress the frustration in his heart.
The violent fluctuations from outside had disappeared, and now everything had calmed down. This meant that the battle between Yan Shouzheng and the invader was over.
Who would have won?
Liu Dong's brief moment of uncertainty quickly turned into determination.
It had to be Yan Shouzheng. There would be no accident!
In Liu Dong's heart, Yan Shouzheng was an invincible existence, one who could complete any task assigned by His Majesty flawlessly, without ever failing. This time would surely be no exception.
Clink...
Just as Liu Dong was thinking this, a strange noise suddenly came from above the tomb.
He widened his eyes and quickly looked up. It seemed like someone was approaching?
Clink, clink...
The sound grew louder and closer, and the person seemed to be walking with great familiarity, their footsteps unhesitant.
Liu Dong swallowed hard. Even inside the Imperial Palace, the location of this tomb was extremely secret. Several defensive and concealment formations had been specially built to hide it. Even a grandmaster would be concealed for a while.
The person was so familiar with this place... it must be Yan Shouzheng, who had returned victorious.
Thinking this, Liu Dong's heart loosened a bit. He stared intently at the staircase above, eagerly awaiting Yan Shouzheng's arrival.
If it wasn't Yan Shouzheng, but an enemy, then Liu Dong would be the final line of defense for His Majesty!
The next moment, Yan Shouzheng, with his dead fish-like eyes, appeared in Liu Dong's line of sight.
Liu Dong let out a sigh of relief, ready to greet him, but his heart suddenly tightened. His pupils shrank to the extreme.
Because he saw someone else following behind Yan Shouzheng into the tomb — Fang Yuan!
At this moment, the young man, dressed in plain white clothes, coldly gazed at the spot where Liu Dong stood!
"This is it!" Yan Shouzheng pointed at the dark hole and said to Fang Yuan, "This is where His Majesty is. Remember, you must not go down there!"
"What..."

Liu Dong was stunned. He had thought that Yan Shouzheng would come alone, or that an enemy might come, but he never imagined that both of them would arrive together!
He admired Yan Shouzheng's loyalty to His Majesty, so why would he now lead the enemy here?
Moreover, this enemy was none other than the one His Majesty feared the most — Fang Yuan!
"Master Fang, long time no see..." Liu Dong forced out a greeting, hoping to use his eloquence to stall the situation, "His Majesty..."
Before Liu Dong could finish his sentence, he saw Fang Yuan wave his hand, and Yan Shouzheng, like foam, scattered away. Then, Fang Yuan turned into a streak of light, carrying a violent thunderstorm as he rushed toward the dark hole!
"If you want to lay a hand on His Majesty, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Liu Dong screamed, and, driven by his determination to protect His Majesty, he gathered all his energy to face the incoming threat.
Then, his vision was completely filled with a violent gust of wind!
Endless tearing pain immediately spread throughout Liu Dong's body. Little did he know, as soon as he finished speaking, his words came true!
"I... I don't even have the ability to stop his steps?!"
Despair passed through Liu Dong in an instant. He had no time to even realize it. Fang Yuan hadn't even spared him a glance. From the very beginning, Fang Yuan's goal was His Majesty, and Liu Dong had come forward himself, so Fang Yuan simply accepted him.
The surrounding darkness grew thicker and thicker, and Fang Yuan had already entered the bottomless hole. He could sense that the walls of the cave were covered with dense symbols and formations, meant to consume and destroy his body and soul.
However, the power of these formations was nothing in front of Fang Yuan at this moment. He surged forward, until, at a certain point, the situation at the bottom of the cave finally came into view!
What he saw was an underground space beyond imagination. No, it was too small to call it a "space"; it was clearly an endless underground world!
In this underground world, a monstrous creature was coiled. Words could hardly describe its size. The creature's enormity had exceeded Fang Yuan's comprehension. He tried his best, but he couldn't even see the full outline of its head, let alone recognize what kind of creature it was.
But Fang Yuan knew — this must be the Yellow Dragon that Yan Shouzheng had mentioned...
