Chapter 646: Hidden in It
Jiang Chen's face looked grim. If he had been half a second slower, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Boy, you are so brave to break into my territory."
At this moment, an arrogant voice came from the sky.
"Who is talking?" Jiang Chen looked around, his mind tense.
Soon, a young man landed in front of him and looked down at him.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice, and did not run away in a hurry just because the young man's cultivation was stronger than his.
He knew that this was the stupidest thing to do.
Instead, you should stay calm, look for flaws, and then make a decision.
"This palace belongs to me." said the young man arrogantly.
"The princess you are talking about is in this palace?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils contracted violently.
He thought that the princess had left.
After all, he had only met her once and did not have a deep impression of her.
Moreover, he was only concerned with escaping at the time and did not observe carefully.
Unexpectedly, the other party was hiding in the palace, which was beyond his expectations.
"Haha, it seems you are quite smart to guess that she is in this palace."
The young man sneered, with an expression that showed he had expected Jiang Chen to do so: "But so what?"
Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart. This guy obviously had bad intentions and was deliberately using words to provoke him.
"Since you want to kill me, show some sincerity."
Jiang Chen suddenly calmed down and stared at the young man and said.
"Oh?" The young man raised his eyebrows.
"Who sent you?"
Jiang Chen said indifferently: "I have nothing to do with the secular world. My only enemy is the royal family you mentioned."
"Humph, don't think I will believe you." The young man said disdainfully.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. He was telling the truth.
The young man's eyes flickered and he was obviously hesitant.
"If you don't trust me, you should at least trust your emperor's judgment."
"Our emperor is wise and powerful. He will never wrongly accuse any good person." The young man said arrogantly.
Jiang Chen curled his lips. He knew that no matter how he explained, the other party would not believe him.
"Tell me where she is first, and I'll show you the way."
"You want to play tricks? No way." the young man shouted.
"Even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to know where she is. I just don't want to cause any trouble, so I said this." Jiang Chen said calmly.
The young man looked at him suspiciously. He thought Jiang Chen was bluffing.
So the young man said, "Come with me, I will take you to find her."
Immediately, he took the lead and took a step forward.
Jiang Chen looked around and found that the birds were hiding in the dark.
Without further ado, he followed.
Soon, Jiang Chen followed the young man through hundreds of arched gates and arrived at the core area of the Imperial Court.
Looking around, you can see magnificent buildings.
All kinds of luxurious decorations are hung all over the sky, making it like a paradise.
Jiang Chen was shocked and alert at the same time.
These decorations are living organisms, and their function is only to highlight the splendor of this place.
"We have come to the core area of the Imperial Court. You'd better behave yourself."
The young man stopped and said in a demonstrative manner.
Jiang Chen ignored him and looked around.
This area is empty, with nothing else except buildings.
"Over there."
The young man suddenly pointed into the distance.
Following his finger, Jiang Chen found an ancient castle sitting on the top of the mountain, like a fairyland.
"That is the residence of our emperor. You'd better not make any unusual moves. Otherwise, you will be killed without a burial place!"
The young man threatened.
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and ignored his threat.
"The princess lives in here. If you dare to do anything wrong, I will be the first to kill you."
The young man said viciously.
Jiang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and approached the castle.
The closer Jiang Chen got, the more he discovered that the castle exuded an eerie and terrifying aura.
This made him feel a little uneasy, but he was skilled and brave, so he continued to move forward.
Finally, Jiang Chen stood in front of the castle and looked up at the ancient castle.
There are three words written on the plaque of the ancient castle: Netherworld Castle.
"Didn't you say that this palace belonged to the princess? How did it become a ghost castle?"
Jiang Chen questioned.
"Stop talking nonsense. The princess is in there now, so go in quickly." The young man urged.
Jiang Chen looked at him, confirmed that he was not lying, and walked towards him with big strides.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, a cloud of black mist emerged from the Nether Castle.
In an instant, Jiang Chen was enveloped.
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately started practicing his skills.
He could sense that there was some strange power in the black fog that was about to devour him.
"snort!"
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and a powerful aura burst out.
The black fog disappeared immediately.
"What did you do?"
Jiang Chen was surprised to find that the black fog disappeared, but did not return to the castle, but merged into the wall.
The young man's expression kept changing. He didn't expect that Jiang Chen could resist the ghost energy of the underworld.
"Where is the princess?" Jiang Chen asked.
"You must promise me first that you won't hurt the princess!" the young man said seriously.
"good."
Jiang Chen nodded.
The young man hesitated for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"You'd better cooperate with me, otherwise you won't even be qualified to commit suicide later."
"I can take you there, but you'd better not do anything rash, otherwise, Di Ji will be in danger."
"You must remember your promise, otherwise, I would rather die than surrender." The young man said coldly.
The two walked inside.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Chen saw a tightly closed door.
"The princess is in the room, please go in." said the young man.
Jiang Chen pushed open the door and found it was pitch black inside.
"I'm right outside the door, if you need anything, just call me."
"roll!"
Jiang Chen cursed rudely.
Hearing Jiang Chen's rude attitude, a strong murderous intent appeared in the young man's eyes, but he quickly restrained it.
"I advise you to be honest." After leaving this sentence, the young man turned and left.
Jiang Chen closed the door and planned to find a chair to sit down and rest, but he found that the table and chairs in the room had disappeared.
Instead, there is a stone pillar with ferocious monster patterns carved on it.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Chen frowned, feeling a bad premonition.
Suddenly, a deep laugh echoed in the room.
Then, a black shadow emerged from the darkness.
Jiang Chen was startled and quickly used the Thunder Sword Technique, slashing out with a sharp sword light.
A stream of blood splattered and the black shadow fell to the ground.
"It's a phantom."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He saw clearly that what fell to the ground was a piece of wood, not a living person.
"It seems like this is a trap, and you lured me here."
Jiang Chen said coldly, looking around.
There are no windows, no doors, no sunlight, which makes it even more suffocating.
However, Jiang Chen was not worried.
