Chapter 844 (Omen Appears, Mystical Fire Emerges)

"Your Majesty, please, spare us. I don't want to die."

"I don't want to die either, Your Majesty..."

Most of these palace concubines were young and beautiful, in the prime of their lives. Some had only entered the palace a year or even a month ago. Some hadn't even received the late Emperor's favour yet. They were being buried here without understanding how it had come to this. Who could accept such a fate?

"Bring them here," Ge Haoran said indifferently.

Several soldiers immediately dragged these women aside and used the sheaths of their knives to strike them. After that, none of the concubines dared to cry for help.

"Before your eyes, you are the Emperor's women. Even after death, you are still the Emperor's women. You should feel honoured. It's the heavens showing you favour!" Ge Haoran shouted loudly. The rules established by their ancestors could not be broken. After all, when the Emperor died, what if these consorts disband and become another man's? As the Emperor, their thoughts were domineering. As long as they died, they all followed him!

"Seal the tomb!" Ge Haoran commanded, impatient to return to being the Emperor.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Jing, standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.

Ge Haoran questioned, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, what does that beam of light mean?" Zhang Jing pointed to a beam of light that was gradually slanting.

Ge Haoran paused for a moment. "It should be a sign from my father. This beam of light should have been installed, moving with the sun's position. From this angle, it should move to the centre of the coffin. Father still wants to feel the warmth of the sun."

After saying this, Ge Haoran chuckled. 'Father really knew how to enjoy life, even after death, he still wanted to bask in the sun.'

Zhang Jing nodded, and Ge Haoran led the way out, followed by a group of soldiers, leaving the dazed concubines behind.

As the heavy stone door closed, the tomb chamber fell into silence, with only the sound of hundreds of concubines crying.

However, a few concubines watched as the beam of sunlight slowly moved...

Gradually, it moved from the wall to the side of the coffin.

When the light reached the centre, it suddenly refracted! contemporary romance

In the centre of the coffin, there was a mirror, and the light began to move within the tomb chamber. The surrounding bronze mirrors seemed to form a mysterious formation, causing the light to create a strange pattern.

This situation stunned the concubines. What was happening?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of the stone door opening came from the side. This made the concubines pause for a moment before rushing towards the door.

But more than ten concubines chose to stay behind, sitting there in a daze. These older concubines, who had formed deeper connections, couldn't bear to leave. The ones who rushed out were all the younger concubines.

The stone door closed without warning, and terrifying sounds and women's cries echoed from the other side.

The remaining ten-plus concubines instantly understood what the Emperor meant. Because on the other side, another stone door had opened.

When this door opened, a beam of light shot in, illuminating the dark passage.

Next to the passage was the Emperor's writing, and the meaning was simple: "I didn't intend for you to accompany me. You should have your own new life. What just happened was a small test."

Gu Pi was not a cruel Emperor. These were all women he had slept with, and he couldn't bear to let them die like this. However, the rules couldn't be broken, so he came up with this method to see how many were truly sincere. Only those who were sincere had a chance to survive.

The ten-plus concubines bowed towards the coffin to thank the Emperor for his mercy and then walked out of the tomb chamber. However, two concubines chose to stay and wait here, from beginning to end.

Gradually, the stone door closed.

The entire tomb chamber fell into silence, filled with an air of death.

However, at this moment, a bronze mirror suddenly toppled... with a loud clang, startling the two concubines.

But the source of light changed at that moment!

Above the coffin, there was a dragon head carved, and the beam of light happened to shine into the dragon's eye!

Sudden changes occurred; the dragon eye gradually began to glow, and the stones on the dragon head gradually fell.

This startled the two concubines. How could the stone dragon come to life...

"Ahh!" A roar suddenly erupted in the tomb chamber.

However, the returning team heard this dragon's roar, and they all stopped in their tracks.

Ge Haoran, sitting on the throne, asked loudly, "Zhang Jing, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, it seems like a dragon's roar just came from the Imperial Mausoleum..." Zhang Jing wondered if he was experiencing tinnitus.

Ge Haoran quickly got out of the carriage and looked at the Imperial Mausoleum not far away.

Boom!

At the top of the Imperial Mausoleum, something burst through, and a long azure dragon soared into the sky. It had slender whiskers and captivating eyes, gazing down upon the land.

Ge Haoran was stunned...

Zhang Jing was also stunned...

The entire team was in shock...

The legendary divine dragon!

"Roar!" The azure divine dragon howled towards the Soul River and flew towards it.

As the divine dragon departed, countless figures in the Azure Dragon Empire followed, including Yang Yao and Shi Yu.

The appearance of this omen indicated that the Mystical Fire was about to appear!

Sitting in the pavilion, Ye Hua sighed in relief.

"Ye Hua, what happened?" Qing Ya asked with concern.

"I feel a bit better." Right after that dragon's roar, Ye Hua felt that the Mystical Fires inside him had calmed down, as if they were less anxious. However, they still seemed somewhat restless, and he couldn't tell if they were excited or fearful.

Most likely, they were more excited. After all, it was impossible for these over a dozen types of Mystical Fires to fear another one.

"Brother-in-law, was it the dragon's roar just now?" Qing Yutong asked curiously.

"Yes, that dragon was an omen. Whenever a Mystical Fire appears, it is accompanied by an omen," Ye Hua said calmly. He recalled that his own Mystical Fire had appeared in a similar manner. Good things had to be seized; nobody would just give them to you.

Donghuang Baizhi was intrigued. "It does sound interesting."

"Of course, it's interesting. Everyone wants the Mystical Fire, including me," Ye Hua said. He had a penchant for collecting treasures, especially something as valuable as the Mystical Fire.

The group looked towards the sky, where many people had flown out of the city, darkening the sky.

Leading them were Prison Emperor Yang Yao and Hall Master Shi Yu.

"Haha! The Mystical Fire! It really is the Mystical Fire!" Shi Yu burst into maniacal laughter. With the appearance of a divine dragon, this Mystical Fire must be extraordinary.

Although Yang Yao didn't speak, his eyes were filled with excitement. It was indeed a Mystical Fire!

This information was surprisingly accurate, beyond belief!

Just as the two of them were getting excited, the azure divine dragon suddenly plunged into the Soul River!

This action startled them both!

They knew what the Soul River represented. Even powerful beings would have a hard time surviving once they fell into the Soul River.

With the divine dragon diving in like this, was there any hope it would come out alive?
