Chapter 540: Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Trap! The Secret of Ming Mountain_3

“If there is only one entrance to the divine land in Area 67, wouldn’t it be better for the Beast Emperor to build his lair there and be on constant guard?”

“Besides, if the Beast Kings under the Three Great Beast Emperors are to gather in one place, why must they congregate at the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor’s residence?” Li Yuan said.

His words enlightened everyone.

In reality, Li Yuan was able to think of so much, not because he was smarter than the rest… it was simply because he had access to the most intelligence.

“Li Yuan, do you suspect that the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor is another entrance to the divine land?” Tavares couldn’t help but ask.

“We’ll know once we get there,” Li Yuan said. “In any case, we shouldn’t head to the divine land entrance in Area 67 for now… It’s highly likely there’s a Beast Emperor guarding the entrance on the other side.”

Although he was not very afraid of the Three Great Beast Emperors, Li Yuan still preferred to play it safe.

Since they were already behind the Tianliang Civilization by so much, there was no rush. Seeking haste sometimes isn’t a good thing.

“Why do the Three Great Beast Emperors continue to hide within the divine land without coming out?” Li Yang pondered aloud, “Like in the recent battle, if the Three Great Beast Emperors had been there, we probably would have been defeated miserably.”

“Either they have more important matters to attend to,” Luo Chan said, “or… they can’t come out momentarily. There must be a reason.”

The group nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go,” Li Yuan said as he turned into a beam of light, taking flight toward the distant Ming Mountain.

Boom! Boom!

Many human Martial Artists then flew into the warship, quickly setting off toward the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.

The residences of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor were not completely confirmed by the Seven Star Civilization; only their general locations were known.

However, the residence of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor, ‘Heavenly Serpent Lake,’ was clearly marked.

…

As Li Yuan and the others were in motion, deep within Ming Mountain at Heavenly Serpent Lake, the lake roiled massively.

Splash~

A nearly ninety-meter-long Qing colored Flying Serpent pierced through the clouds, its claws skimming the surface of the water, rapidly diving into the ancient palace at the center of the lake.

“Qing Sheng!”

“Qing Sheng, have you returned?” Two Flying Serpents, one black and one white, flew out from either side of the palace. These two Flying Heaven Level serpents were responsible for guarding the Beast Emperor’s palace on a daily basis.

“You should already be aware of the battle results,” Qing Sheng Beast King said with a pale face: “They’re all dead, Uncle Chi Yen is dead, Hei Guang is dead, Tian He, Nan Xiong… they’re all dead…”

Among the group of Flying Heaven Beast Kings, Qing Sheng Beast King’s strength in direct combat was on the weaker side; he was, however, exceptionally skilled in flight… added to the fact that Li Yuan did not know his identity.

Thus, Qing Sheng Beast King had managed to escape with his life and rushed over immediately.

“We’re aware.”

“The Thunder Shine Beast King also perished in battle just now,” the dark serpent somberly said: “Qing Sheng, hurry inside; the Beast Emperor’s projection is waiting for you in the main hall.”

Qing Sheng Beast King nodded and flew into the main hall, where he saw a massive, sparkling sphere floating in the void of the hall.

Below the sphere was a giant projection, distinctly that of the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor.

“Father,” Qing Sheng Beast King spoke somberly.

“Do you remember the orders I gave you before?” the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor stared at his offspring.

“I remember,” Qing Sheng Beast King nodded hurriedly: “Take the Soul Crystal Ball and stay far away from the warriors of the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization… and also inform the Tianliang Civilization about the power of the Spirit Gun.”

On his way back.

The Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor had already communicated with him, revealing many secrets and instructing him on what to do.

The most critical task was to take away the Soul Crystal Ball.

However, once it was removed from the palace, the effectiveness of the Soul Crystal Ball would drastically diminish… at least the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor would no longer be able to contact those Flying Heaven Beast Kings directly.

This palace, paired with the Soul Crystal Ball, had been incredibly challenging to build.

If he didn’t take it away?

It wouldn’t be long before the Seven Star Civilization’s army arrived.

“Father, when can you and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor, and the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor come out?” Qing Sheng Beast King asked reluctantly.

“Several exits have been sealed by those human warriors; now, the divine land is only accessible from the outside, not from within,” the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor shook his head, his serpent eyes filled with coldness: “We are trying to find a way to kill that human warrior Yu Jinghe and seize control of the divine land.”

“The several geniuses who entered from the Tianliang Civilization are also exceptionally strong. Although we lured and killed a few, the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor was also severely injured…”

“Anyway, you must flee quickly.”

“Also, activate the Origin Power Array beneath the palace… If we can’t ambush the Spirit Gun in that military passage, then lure him into this passage,” the Heavenly Serpent Beast Emperor said coldly: “The divine land is a great temptation. As long as the top talents from these two civilizations enter, we can gradually kill them… everything will not be an issue.”

“Yes, Father,” Qing Sheng Beast King responded.

But his heart was somewhat uneasy; even his father, together with the Thousand Eyes Beast Emperor, couldn’t kill all the Tianliang Civilization’s geniuses… What if an even stronger Spirit Gun entered?

What would be the outcome?

Hard to say! But at this point, there was no better plan.

Shortly after.

Qing Sheng Beast King took down the Soul Crystal Ball and swiftly left with the other two Flying Serpent Beast Kings.

Soon after their departure.

“Rumble~” At the edge of the vast Heavenly Serpent Lake, spanning tens of kilometers, the land suddenly collapsed, creating a huge gap, and then a massive amount of water from the lake poured wildly through the gap, crashing down the cliff below.

At first glance, it formed a colossal waterfall!!

And the water level of Heavenly Serpent Lake began to drop rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

…

Deep within Ming Mountain, in a vast hall supported by countless metal pillars.

Two Exotic Beasts of enormous size were coiled there, their bodies exuding powerful auras.

One of them, a Qing colored Flying Serpent surpassing a hundred meters in length and covered in scales like a Battle Garment, had a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.
