Chapter 1650

The eight shocked elders' expressions kept changing when they heard Zi Chen's words.

They believed that they had done things flawlessly, but they didn't understand what went wrong that allowed the other party to see through them.

Although Zi Chen didn't kill them, the strength he displayed was enough to shock them.

Outside, Bali, who staggered to his feet, was completely stunned.

The eight elders attacked as quickly as lightning, and the end of the battle wasn't slower than lightning.

As Bali stood up, he saw the eight elders retreat in defeat. They were defeated cleanly. In front of the invader, the eight elders, who were clearly one level higher, had no room to counterattack.

Finally, some clansmen rushed over after hearing Bali's roar. Following that, more and more experts gathered.

"Bali, what happened?"

Looking at Bali, who was standing outside the meeting hall, the experts asked.

At this moment, the door to the meeting hall was completely closed. No one dared to enter rashly.

"It's fine. The elders are discussing something with the Patriarch." Bali shook his head.

Just as the door to the meeting hall closed, he heard the Patriarch's voice transmission and explained.

"It's fine. Why is there dirt on you?" someone asked in puzzlement.

"I had nothing to do, so I rolled around on the ground, okay?" Bali glared.

Although they still had doubts, they didn't get anything out of Bali. They could only leave resentfully.

After standing there for a moment, Bali felt bored and turned to leave.

In the meeting hall, the elders took their seats again and sat side by side. Opposite them were Zi Chen and Mu Shou. As for Viper, he remained standing.

"Patriarch, what is going on?" That old woman, Aunt Zhou, asked.

Mu Shou said, "Zi Chen is my friend. I dropped five levels to condense a divine seal. That's all."

"Then why did Patriarch bring him back?" an elder asked.

They had just heard Elder Wang's voice transmission telling them not to kill. They looked fierce, but they didn't plan on killing anyone.

However, they were very glad. If they really wanted to kill someone, it was hard to say who would kill who.

With his Perfect Body completely activated, Zi Chen's spiritual perception was extremely sharp. He could easily sense if there was any killing intent.

Tomb Keeper couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I originally wanted to ask Zi Chen for help, but who would have thought that there would be so many dragons in the sky?"

"He's only at the seventh level. He can help us."

Tomb Keeper nodded and glanced at Zi Chen.

A silver light flashed beside Zi Chen as the Dragon Soul Spear appeared. The Dragon Soul Spear released a dragon's might.

The old men's expressions changed drastically. If they weren't sitting on the chairs, they would probably be lying on the ground.

Even so, the moment they felt the dragon might, they lost almost all of their strength.

Elder Wang asked in disbelief, "This is a dragon soul."

"Not bad, a powerful dragon soul." Tombkeeper nodded.

"Then … there's a way." Elder Wang's face was filled with anticipation.

Tombkeeper shook his head and said, "The dragon soul's level is too low and there are too many dragons here. There's nothing we can do for the time being. By the way, why are there so many dragons here all of a sudden?"

When the Elders heard that, they revealed looks of disappointment. Elder Wang said, "Two years ago, the dragon souls in the dragon tomb suddenly began to flow away in large quantities. There are also more dragons here."

"Didn't you send anyone to take a look?" Tombkeeper asked.

"Yes, we even sent an ascetic, but to date, no one has come out alive." Elder Wang shook his head and sighed.

"There must be a reason for the large loss of dragon souls. I'll take a look."

"Clan Leader, you mustn't. That place is filled with danger. Even ascetics can't return. Clan Leader, your strength is now reduced, so you can't take the risk." The Elders hurriedly dissuaded him.

Tombkeeper turned to look at Zi Chen with a pleading look in his eyes. Zi Chen didn't hesitate and shook his head. "Forget it. It's already difficult to deal with a single dragon. If we encounter a group, I'm afraid not even our bones will be left."

"But there are strange movements in the dragon tomb." Tombkeeper was a little reluctant.

"So what? Even if we find the reason, do you think we have a way to deal with it? It's just adding to our troubles." Zi Chen said lightly.

"Sigh."

Guardian Mu let out a heavy sigh. He then looked at the eight elders and said, "Elders, to be honest, we have come back this time for the Devouring God Seal."

The Elders were puzzled. Only Elder Wang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed a few times. "You still want the Devouring God Seals?"

"Yes, I want eleven complete ones." Tombkeeper nodded.

The eight Elders' expressions changed again, and they all looked at Tombkeeper in confusion.

If they didn't have some kind of secret method to distinguish between the truth and the lies, they would definitely think that Tombkeeper was a fake.

"The outside world is far from what you know. I have great use for the eleven Devouring God Seals, and I know those eleven people. They are very trustworthy, just like Zi Chen."

Although Tombkeeper explained it clearly, it was still difficult to accept. The eight Elders didn't give an answer in person, and the meeting ended unhappily.

Bali arranged a small independent courtyard for Zi Chen, and Viper went to treat his injuries first. As for Tombkeeper, as the clan leader, he naturally had his own residence.

Zi Chen didn't ask why this room was so far away from the clan leader's residence, because he knew the reason very well. If he guessed correctly, at least four of the eight Elders were guarding the tomb at this moment.

In fact, Zi Chen was wrong. It wasn't four, but all eight.

Obviously, there were some questions that couldn't be asked in front of Zi Chen, the intruder.

Looking at the eight Elders in disbelief, Tombkeeper couldn't help but think of himself when he left this place. At that time, he was so high-spirited and full of confidence.

But in the end.

After being away for a thousand years, he and Viper gradually lost their spirit and fighting spirit. In the end, they were even in despair and muddled through.

Thinking of what he had felt and seen for a thousand years, and thinking of his downfall, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After a while, he said, "The intruders are far from as simple as we thought. They are not the stupid existences recorded in the books. They are very smart, very cautious, and very cunning. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to trick them."

The eight Elders listened quietly. It was said that in their lives, this was the first time they had seen an intruder.

The first time, I fell by two realms and condensed a Divine Seal. Not only did I fail to resist the intruders, but I was also almost killed. I paid a huge price of falling by one realm before Viper and I were able to escape. In the following thousand years, we constantly dealt with the intruders. Now, among the intruders, only the ones from the Zhan Wu Continent can still maintain a trace of kindness to us. As for the others, they can only fight to the death when they see us. "

Tomb Keeper paused and said, "There is also a race among them called the Soul-eater Clan. They are our natural nemesis. In the past thousand years, I have found at least three small worlds that were destroyed by the Soul-eater Clan."

In history, there were some records of the Soul-eater Clan. Although they were not comprehensive, they mentioned that the Soul-eater Clan was very, very dangerous.

They didn't expect that such a race really existed in the outside world. The Elders' expressions changed.

"I am very lucky to have met Zi Chen because he values friendship and promises. When I made up my mind to give him the second Divine Seal of Devouring, it was a gamble. But I won the gamble. The dragon soul in Zi Chen's hand is very complete and very powerful. It is of great use to us. It can get rid of the giant dragons here, but I didn't expect that when I returned this time, there would be so many of them and so many powerful ones."

"Those eleven Divine Seals of Devouring were obtained for Zi Chen's friends. I know those eleven people as well. They are as trustworthy as Zi Chen. Moreover, each of them is a genius with extremely powerful combat strength. With their help, I think our chances of resolving this crisis will be greater."

The eight Elders frowned and pondered. One of them said, "Since his weapon is of great use to us, why didn't he leave it behind?"

Tomb Keeper said, "That's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. I think that for a Dragon Soul weapon, our people will not fear death," Elder Wang said in a deep voice.

"For the peace of the Dragon's Tomb, I also believe that our people are not afraid of death. But being not afraid of death and courting death are two completely different things. I don't want to see our people die in vain."

The Elders' expressions changed. Elder Wang asked, "Is he that strong?"

"If he wants to, everyone except the Ascetic Cultivator will die. Don't expect to exhaust him with human lives. It is useless. I once saw him charge into an army of tens of thousands of Invaders and slaughter them. No, it should be called a massacre."

"We can summon the Ascetic Cultivator …"

Before Elder Wang could finish, Tomb Keeper interrupted him. "It's useless. If he insists on leaving, no one can stop him. Perhaps the tens of thousands of dragons outside can, but his Dragon Soul is extraordinary. Perhaps it can help him escape at the critical moment."

The Elders fell silent. Elder Wang thought for a moment and said, "In other words, we can only trust them."

"We must trust them. This is the only way to survive."

Besides the only way to survive, the only way left was to die.

They might not be afraid of death, but as the Tomb Keeper Clan, their duty was to protect the Dragon's Tomb.

Nothing must happen to the Dragon's Tomb.

Elder Wang sighed and said, "In that case, we can only give him the Divine Seal. But that weapon must be left behind. After all, the Divine Seal is too important."

"The weapon needs to be upgraded. It can't be left behind. Moreover, I doubt that the Dragon Soul weapon can still be used in our hands," Tomb Keeper said.

Tomb Keeper's perception was very sharp. He had already noticed that the Dragon Soul in the Dragon Soul Spear had intelligence and was connected to Zi Chen's soul.

Under such circumstances, even if Zi Chen died, the Dragon Soul Spear would not be used by others. It would only shatter.

Since it was the only way to survive, it was not difficult to choose. The Elders had to relent and say that they were willing to give up the Devouring Divine Seal.

"Don't worry, I will leave with him. Once the Dragon Soul succeeds in upgrading, we will return immediately. As for the Dragon's Tomb, don't send anyone there for the time being. It is too dangerous," Tomb Keeper said.
