Chapter 101: I Promise You.

After teasing Chu Luo, Jiang Chen paid attention to the lamp in his hand .

According to the book, this lamp was called Soul Leading Lamp . Apparently, they had named it so because it was used in the imperial mausoleum, but Jiang Chen didn't want to call it by this name .

Different from the Redcloud Sword, it wasn't damaged at all . Neither had it lost most of its energy .

If this were an average spiritual weapon, it would have malfunctioned a long time ago, because it was too old or lost its power . Only spiritual weapons of class five or higher could resist the effects of time .

Of course, this resistance was only relatively effective . After tens of thousands of years, even spiritual weapons of class five or higher would stop working .

Let me try its power .

Jiang Chen walked out of the palace and injected his genuine yuan into the lamp . Then, he put the wick close to his mouth and blew on it .

The flame suddenly became stronger and dashed towards the vast void in front of it . The high temperature seemed to have melted the air . There was a strong burning smell .

It's powerful . No one in the Gathering Yuan State will survive if touched by it . Even those in the Mental Wander State wouldn't be able to resist it .

Jiang Chen was cheered up . This was the most powerful spiritual weapon he had seen, by far . Even the Redcloud Sword couldn't beat it . His spiritual sword was only a class two .

What should I call it?

It took Jiang Chen a while to think . Then, a name occurred to him . Darkfire Lamp . He thought it too ordinary, so he added one more word before the name, making it Universal Darkfire Lamp .

He put the treasure lamp into the mustardseed ring and went back to the Soul Leading Palace to translate the book with the intention of finding a way out .

As time went by, lines of small characters came into his eyes and caught his attention .

"It wasn't animals buried with the kings here . It was the construction workers who built the imperial mausoleum! Gosh! I would never use my building as an excuse to kill people .

"I found something unusual with the sacrifice . After looking up the past records, I found all of the architects who had participated in the construction of the imperial mausoleum had disappeared… It turns out not only the workers, but also I, would be sacrificed .

"No . I won't just await my doom without taking any action . I don't want to die here . "

Jiang Chen kept reading . His face gradually lit up as he read .

"There is another exit . It's in the Supreme Underground Palace . There's a secret tunnel," Jiang Chen said with delight .

"The Supreme Underground Palace?"

The women felt pleasantly surprised, but also puzzled .

"That's where the kings of the Vermillion Bird State were buried . "

As for where it was and how to open the secret tunnel, Jiang Chen didn't say a word about it .

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go . We don't have a lot of food left . The longer we're trapped here, the more dangerous it is . " The female disciples of the Isle of Sky couldn't sit still anymore . How they wished they could fly to the Supreme Underground Palace right away .

"Do you know how to get there?" Dorchid asked cautiously . She was calmer .

"Yep, there's a map . "

At the moment, the female disciples of the Isle of Sky, including Chu Luo, were getting nervous . They weren't sure whether Jiang Chen would take them or not, but they'd made up their minds . Even if Jiang Chen didn't want to take them, they would follow him anyway .

"Let's go together . We're all disciples of the top ten sects and schools . "

To their surprise, this time Jiang Chen didn't ask for anything in return . He agreed directly .

However, it set alarm bells ringing among them . They thought Jiang Chen was going to take advantage of them or had other bad intentions .

After all, no one but Jiang Chen knew what the book said .

Jiang Chen couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Chu Luo and the others were suspicious of him . How complicated human beings were!

He didn't bother to explain, but went out the door of the palace with Dorchid . It was up to them whether to follow him or not .

There was no remaining lamp in the Leading Soul Palace . Jiang Chen had lit a torch there . As soon as he left, darkness shrouded the palace .

Chu Luo and the others didn't take too much time to hesitate . They followed Jiang Chen out .

Jiang Chen took the same way back . He went through that small opening and went back to the unfinished passage . Groping along the wall, he soon found another way .

It had been too dark for Jiang Chen to see this way . As a result, he had gone to the Soul Leading Palace instead . At the moment, he knew how the imperial mausoleum was structured, so he knew how to go to the Supreme Underground Palace .

"There could be traps or machine-operated devices in the imperial mausoleum," Dorchid said in a low voice .

"There must be . "

"Is it mentioned in the book?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and glanced at the female disciples of the Isle of Sky . He said, "That's why I'm taking them . "

Dorchid was struck dumb immediately . She glanced at Jiang Chen with appreciation and said, "You're decisive, maybe even hardhearted . You'll have a bright future . "

"Come on, in Xia Dynasty 'hardhearted' isn't a word used for praise," Jiang Chen said .

"No, not exactly . In this world, the best word to praise people is 'cruel . ' You're much better than my brother," Dorchid was flattering him, but she said it in a serious way .

Jiang Chen was speechless . He wasn't going to harm the disciples of the Isle of Sky intentionally .

They would definitely die if he hadn't taken them .

But, there was a price to pay for everything in the world .

At that moment, he heard some tragic screams coming from ahead, then he saw a few figures running totteringly towards him, followed by a dozen demons .

Jiang Chen didn't flee, since there weren't many demons . He brandished his sword to kill them after those few people had run to meet him .

"They weren't demon lords . If you guys had fought together against them, there would've been a chance to survive . Probably at most, one person would've been killed . But you all fled . If you hadn't run into me, you would all be dead," Jiang Chen said coldly, staring at the guy in front of him .

"We… we didn't know how many they were, and we were afraid that we would be stuck," a youngster quibbled in a low voice .

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I know the way out . Follow me if you want to survive . "

"Really? That's great!"

The guys became excited when they heard what Jiang Chen had said .

However, when one of them recognized Jiang Chen, the joy faded from his face . He said, "Are you Jiang Chen? Gao Chenyi's enemy, the one who told us not to open the iron gate?"

"Yep, that's me," Jiang Chen didn't understand why he had asked .

"Then we're not going with you . "

To his surprise, they refused him .

As if staying with him was more dangerous than not having a way out .

Jiang Chen and Dorchid were puzzled . Even Chu Luo didn't get it .

"What's going on?" Jiang Chen asked .

They didn't hold back and said directly, "Gao Chenyi went down as well, with a guy in the Mental Wander State . Almost no one could defeat or stop this guy . They took your two friends, too . Besides, the prince of the Grand Qi State was…"

"My brother?! What happened to my brother?" Dorchid grabbed the speaker's arm emotionally .

"Deagle had a class-six spiritual dagger with him . Gao Chenyi wanted it, but he refused to give it to Gao . Then Gao Chenyi said it was him who had brought Jiang Chen here, so he cut Deagle's head off…"

Not until then did the guy recognize Dorchid . He didn't have the heart to keep telling her what had happened to Deagle .

She squatted down and burst into tears .

After a good while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Chen, revenge my brother! Please! Kill that Gao Chenyi for me!"

Jiang Chen replied with only three words .

"I promise you . "
