Chapter 449
C449 – The Imperial Ruler’s Seal a Shocking Change!
A chorus of gasps echoed from the vicinity.
They must have laid eyes on something extraordinary.
“Hiss~”
“How can there be so many skeletons here? How many lives were lost?”
“Wow, this tomb is massive!”
“Everyone, watch your step—avoid the traps!”
……
Jiang Hao stealthily followed them.
Time ticked by, and outside, the ambushers encircling the tomb grew impatient.
Suddenly, four figures burst from their cover, swiftly covering dozens of meters to reach the guards.
Before the guards could even cry out, they were swiftly subdued.
The assailants then scaled the tomb’s wall and leaped down.
With a few swift moves, they incapacitated the low-level martial cultivators guarding the pit and plunged into the pitch-black tunnel.
More groups surged from the underbrush around the tomb, pursuing their predecessors into the passageway.
Elsewhere, Wang Ming Yang led his team in exploring the vast tomb, which was as large as a small castle.
Judging by the numerous funerary items, the tomb was unmistakably from the Tang Dynasty, filled with a wealth of cultural relics.
Their search quickly led them to the main burial chamber, where a dim light greeted them.
Following the source of the glow, they beheld a towering platform with a colossal blood-red sarcophagus atop it.
Suspended above the sarcophagus was an imposing white jade seal, radiating a soft luminescence with a touch of gold at one corner.
The seal, four inches across, featured an intricate design of five interlocking dragons.
It rested solemnly above the blood-red sarcophagus.
Below, several mummified corpses lay scattered, their decay permeating the air.
Yet, in that moment, all eyes were riveted to the majestic seal, rendering the corpses beneath it an afterthought.
The accompanying archaeologists, including Elder Cheng and Elder Yang, were visibly astounded.
“The Imperial Ruler’s Seal!”
Indeed, the seal presiding over the sarcophagus bore an uncanny resemblance to the fabled Imperial Ruler’s Seal.
The Imperial Jade Seal was far more than just a grand stamp; it was a symbol of immense importance, representing the legitimate lineage of the Emperor!
Without this seal, even if you declared yourself emperor, you would lack legitimacy and fail to gain recognition.
Yet, the Imperial Jade Seal had been missing for ages, with countless seekers failing to uncover its whereabouts.
And now, it had astonishingly surfaced right here!
As everyone was still reeling from the shock, a shadowy figure burst forth from the rear, making a beeline for the Imperial Jade Seal!
“How dare you!”
Bureau Chief Wang snapped to attention, his anger flaring. In his grasp, he suddenly brandished an object resembling a sword hilt.
With a press on the hilt, a sword of light, nearly solidifying into form, erupted from his hand!
He then lunged forward, sword in hand, in hot pursuit of the intruder clad in black.
Jiang Hao, who had been covertly observing from within the crowd, was equally astounded by the spectacle.
“Is that a laser sword?”
He could hardly believe that such a weapon had become a reality—a blade formed from a concentrated laser beam, its cutting power not to be underestimated.
Before Jiang Hao could process any further, several more figures charged into the fray, already clashing with Bureau Chief Wang’s forces.
In such close-quarters combat, within the confines of a cramped space, amidst a throng of people and surrounded by priceless artifacts, maintaining control was exceedingly challenging.
