Chapter 776: Holy Light/Shadow Guard
"You said that underground palace might be the Great Twilight Tomb?!"
Bai Qi looked at Bai Qiucha with a look of surprise and said.
"I'm not really sure, but the architectural style of that underground palace is indeed very similar to the first level of the Dusk Tomb."
Bai Qiucha nodded, while Bai Qi slapped his forehead vigorously.
The Great Tomb of Dusk was created during the Dark Emperor period, and they knew this when they first discovered it.
But Bai Qi really couldn't connect the powerful undead force in the Dusk Tomb with the vulnerable people just now.
"Could it be that what I said just now provoked them so much that they simply stopped being human?"
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he sighed helplessly.
Sure enough, no matter what he did, he would eventually develop along the route that had long been determined by the long river of time.
However, since deviations could occur in the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, they would certainly be possible in the future. However, this might require him to continue to explore.
" Shuke, send out the mechanical apostles to find the location of the underground palace. I hope the teleportation array didn't leave them too far."
Bai Qi gave Shuke a new instruction, saying, "It would be best if you can find it. If not, forget it."
"Bai Qi, is the location you teleport to random?"
Zhuge Chen was a little confused when he heard this and asked.
"It is fixed, but I have every reason to suspect that there will be some accidents during their transmission, and then they will be transmitted to a place we can't find."
Bai Qi shrugged. If the underground palace was really the Great Dusk Tomb, then if nothing unexpected happened, the underground palace must have been teleported to the Hill of the Dead. And given their current location, it would take a lot of time to get there.
He didn't mind making the trip, but they had more important things to do right now.
Head to the imperial capital of the Creation Dynasty.
…
"Shuke, can you confirm the exact time when the war started?"
Bai Qi looked at the imperial capital right in front of him and asked.
"The history of the Dark Emperor period is too long ago, and the records are not very clear. The only thing I can be sure of is that the Dynasty of Creation completely fell apart after that war."
Shuke shook his head and said.
"I see."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at Bai Qiucha, and said, "A-Cha, can you remember any useful information?"
"I'm sorry, there is no record of the Dark Emperor in the books I've read."
Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, "The elders at home agreed to let me read the books, just to see if there is a way to solve my talent problem during the Dragon Emperor period, so I didn't pay too much attention to the books during the Dark Emperor period."
"That means we can only investigate on our own."
Bai Qi understood what he said, and a simple record about the fall of the Chuangzhi Dynasty emerged in his mind.
"In the 11th year of the Creation Era, the Dark Emperor committed atrocities, and all his troops defected. The tribes marched straight into the imperial capital. In the same year, the Creation Dynasty collapsed."
The imperial capital is the core of an empire, but it was directly attacked by the tribes.
It would have been fine if other places had fallen, but according to historical records, when the capital of the Founding Dynasty was captured, most areas of the Founding Dynasty were still intact.
Even after the imperial capital was destroyed, the tribes took the initiative to evacuate areas of human activity and did not harass humans for a hundred years.
After research by later historians, all the evidence collected pointed in the same direction.
In the Dynasty of Creation, there is a traitor, and he holds a very high position!
"I hope it's only related to the Holy Light Guard. That would be much more convenient."
…
Imperial capital.
With the help of Beta's ability, Bai Qi and the other two easily deceived the guards and entered the imperial capital.
Although the Creation Dynasty was the second unified era in human history, its situation was much .
The environment was harsh, resources were scarce, and it was not easy for the Dynasty of Creation to be established when it was surrounded by tribes.
But it is precisely because of this that alchemy shines in this era.
"Bai Qi, look, that person just put a bunch of materials in and it turned into a weapon?"
Zhuge Chen looked in surprise at the tall man who was refining weapons at the door of an armory and said.
"Alchemy is indeed magical. As long as you know the ingredients of the substance and match it with the appropriate alchemy array, you can make what you want. This alone is much stronger than ordinary runes."
Bai Qi nodded slightly and looked at the alchemy array with interest.
Perhaps runes are superior to alchemy arrays in terms of real-time combat power, but in other aspects, alchemy has its own unique advantages.
For example, in this era of resource scarcity, refining the materials you want, although still an equal exchange, solves the problem of low productivity.
"With this kind of technology, if the Dynasty of Creation had not perished so quickly, it might have added a touch of color to human history."
Bai Qi felt a little regretful and was about to walk closer to learn this ancient technology when he suddenly heard a burst of orderly footsteps in the distance and the people around him also made way.
"Bai Qi, look."
Bai Qiucha patted Bai Qi's shoulder and pointed forward.
Bai Qi looked up and saw a group of soldiers in white armor marching in neat steps towards them from a distance. Wherever they passed, the people knelt down and cast pious glances at them.
"Is this the Holy Light Guard?"
Bai Qi looked at the soldier with an indifferent look and a faint white light flashing in his eyes, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
The Holy Light Guard is one of the two strongest armies in the Dynasty of Creation, and is also responsible for the defense of the imperial capital.
At the same time, they are also Bai Qi's biggest suspects.
"Why don't I feel weird at all about these people betraying humans?"
Looking at the Holy Light Guard, whose strength was much weaker but whose aura was the same as the angel in the underground palace, Bai Qi showed a sneer on his face.
"How can these guys who claim to be righteous always do such immoral things!"
There was also a glimmer of smoke in Bai Qiucha's eyes, and a murderous intent unconsciously dissipated from him.
Swish!
At this moment, the Holy Light Guards suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the location of Bai Qi and the other two. The originally dim light in their eyes suddenly became extremely dazzling.
Such a strong perception!
Bai Qi's eyes narrowed, and Beta quickly activated the Six Paths to cover up the aura of the three people.
When the Holy Light Guards looked over, they saw only three people with pious faces, kneeling before them continuously.
However, the Holy Light Guard still looked at the three people vigilantly for a few seconds, and it took a long time before he looked away.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Bai Qiucha's face was filled with guilt. Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Although it has been fused with the aura of the Thunder Rat, the Bone Dragon is still much stronger. The aura of the undead is as obvious to the Holy Light Guards as a lantern at night."
"However, these guys seem to have increased their strength in an instant. Could it be that they can transmit power remotely just like the guy in the underground palace?"
Bai Qi stroked his chin and looked at the Holy Light Guard curiously.
Ahhhhh?
(How about catching one and studying it?)
Beta quietly appeared beside Bai Qi with a sly smile on his face.
"It seems like it's not impossible?"
The corner of Bai Qi's mouth curled up, and his gaze towards the Holy Light Guards changed.
Don't look at them as enemies, but as test subjects.
"Wait, someone else is coming."
At this moment, Jerry stopped the actions of the man and the dog and pointed in the other direction.
Bai Qi turned his head and raised his eyebrows when he saw the dark figure.
The Shadow Guards, who are of equal status to the Holy Light Guards of the Dynasty of Creation, are primarily responsible for strangling the ferocious beasts within the territory.
After the Holy Light Guards and the Shadow Guards met, they stopped at the same time, looked at each other briefly, and without any communication, turned around and headed towards the palace.
Holy Light and Dark Shadow, no matter where they are, are incompatible.
"Both troops are here, what a coincidence~"
Bai Qi grinned, then disappeared into the crowd with Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha.
…
In an inconspicuous alley, Bai Qi and his two companions appeared quietly, and in front were four soldiers, two in black and two in white.
"Bai Qi, you are robbing people so openly, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Looking at the four soldiers who had fainted in front of him, Zhuge Chen felt a little worried.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to find out in a short time."
Bai Qi smiled faintly, glanced at the two complete teams in the distance, and immersed himself in studying.
"Sure enough, just like the underground palace, both the power of Holy Light and Shadow have been transplanted, but the power is much weaker."
Soon, Bai Qi came to the conclusion.
"From a spiritual perspective, the souls of the Holy Light Guards have been basically assimilated by the Holy Light. Rather than saying they are still human, it's better to say they are puppets."
Shuke digitized the souls of the Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards, and presented their status clearly in front of them.
"In comparison, the Shadow Guards' bodies have only changed, but their souls are still human."
"However, whether it is the Holy Light Guard or the Shadow Guard, the transformation technology seems to be somewhat different from the human body refining formation we saw in the underground palace."
Hearing Shuke's words, Bai Qi nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the palace.
"If nothing unexpected happens, these Holy Light Guards and Shadow Guards should all be the work of the Dark Emperor."
"Let's go and meet the inventor of alchemy, the most evil emperor in human history!"
Bai Qi stood up and took the four soldiers into the secret base, but left their armor behind.
"Bai Qi, you are not planning to..."
Zhuge Chen and Bai Qi looked at each other in bewilderment, while Bai Qi said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course, otherwise you still plan to charge in?"
As he spoke, Bai Qi swiftly put on a set of Holy Light Guard armor, and then summoned Alpha to change into the Shadow Guard armor.
"Acha, you and Alpha will disguise as Shadow Guards, and Zhuge Chen and I will disguise as Holy Light Guards."
"Remember you don't have to do anything later, just leave everything to me."
After saying that, Bai Qi didn't wait for the two to respond, he just snapped his fingers, and the positions of several people changed immediately, and they came behind the Holy Light/Shadow Guard, into the illusion created by Cordyceps.
The sudden appearance of the four people brought some energy fluctuations. The leaders of the two teams turned their heads to look behind them at the same time, but after looking at Beta, they simply ignored these changes and continued to move forward.
At this time, the palace was already in sight.
