Chapter 13: Entering the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area_1

At the moment, the Imperial Guards present, along with the head of the Imperial Guards, still wore an expression of disbelief on their faces.

That was the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land, a terrifying forbidden realm that had existed for countless tens of thousands of years.

Even the supreme Emperors couldn't enter.

For tens of thousands of years, countless strong individuals have tried to research how to enter, but all have failed in the end.

But now, they simply walked in with a ladder?

Isn't that a bit too easy?

Jin Li spoke with a cold voice: "This matter must not be leaked!"

"We vow with our lives that the secret will not be revealed to a second person!" The Imperial Guards present all knew the importance of the matter.

The head of the Imperial Guards was filled with excitement: "This is the Heaven's favor to our Emperor!

Once we master the way to enter the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land, we will surely be able to harvest a great amount of Spiritual Medicine in the outer regions by sending people inside!"

The Xuanyuan Forbidden Land has been untouched by living creatures for at least tens of thousands of years, which means there must be a great number of Spiritual Medicine inside.

The deeper aspects of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land were still too far beyond their reach with their current strength.

However, there are surely lots of Spiritual Medicine in the outer region, and fewer beasts.

The head of the Imperial Guards wanted to carry a ladder and enter immediately while speaking.

Because, just on the outskirts, she had already spotted several incredibly precious Spiritual Medicines.

Jin Li had a cold expression, hiding her inner excitement.

There was also a ladder beside her, but she hadn't carried it yet. She needed to continue verifying.

"Don't act recklessly for now, let's watch a bit longer."

The convicts were all extremely dangerous criminals.

At this moment, three of them entered the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land while carrying ladders.

Their faces held expressions of shock and fear.

One of the men, on seeing a Spiritual Medicine, had a greedy look in his eyes.

He instantly picked it and stuffed the medicine greedily into his mouth.

Outside, there were powerful Imperial Guards.

Eating the Spiritual Medicine was his only chance of survival.

As for escaping?

Their speed was similar to that of ordinary people now.

With the Imperial Guards watching behind them, how could they escape?

Eating the Spiritual Medicine was the only chance they had of surviving.

The head of the Imperial Guards was extremely anxious when she saw the criminals eating the Spiritual Medicine.

Those Spiritual Medicines were so precious that even she was reluctant to consume them.

Yet, they were being heartily enjoyed by a few convicts!

Emperor Jin Li remained calm, without a word, she gazed at the scene inside the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land.

Seeing this, the head of the Imperial Guards could only stand still in place, but inside, she felt a great pain.

This pain was even more heart-wrenching than having a few pounds of flesh removed.

Right at that moment, Emperor Jin Li's pupils slightly contracted.

The Imperial Guards present also sensed something and immediately became alert.

Then, there came a roar. A white beast with green eyes, standing over ten meters tall, appeared.

With each step it took, trees and rocks were smashed, wood debris flying everywhere.

The beast was only a few hundred meters away from the prisoners.

For such a beast, the distance of a few hundred meters would only need a few breaths.

"Green Yin Tiger!" The head of the Imperial Guards expressed her solemnity, "It's a horrifying beast of the Demon King level!"

As a King level powerhouse, the head of the Imperial Guards was on par with the Green Yin Tiger in terms of realm.

However, if it comes to actual combat, she would surely not be a match for this Green Yin Tiger.

The Green Yin Tiger was known for its bloodthirsty nature, those prisoners were doomed.

At this moment, with the Green Yin Tiger appearing, they could not infiltrate the outer region of the Xuanyuan Forbidden Land any longer, otherwise, skirmishes would inevitably occur.

Seeing the presence of the Green Yin Tiger, two of the convicts threw away their ladders and fled frantically.

The other convict, however, was so frightened that his legs had gone soft. Clasping the ladder tightly, he was completely unable to move.

"Roar!"

The Green Yin Tiger roared; a wave of energy sprayed out from its mouth, aiming directly at the two fleeing prisoners.

The convicts instantly stiffened, fell straight to the ground, their bodies exploded, blood and flesh spattering all over.

The remaining one, paralyzed on the ground, holding on to his ladder, was so scared that yellow liquid flowed from his crotch.

The Green Yin Tiger glanced at the last prisoner, an indescribable look flashing in its eyes, as though it were deep in thought, almost appearing respectful.

However, the Green Yin Tiger simply moved on.

The head of the Imperial Guards was taken aback by this.

So were the rest of the Imperial Guards.

Why did the Green Yin Tiger just leave like that?

Isn't it known for its bloodthirsty nature?

If humans enter, will they indeed be attacked?

A complex look flashed through the eyes of Empress Jin Li.

With ladders on their backs, they could enter Xuanyuan Forbidden without hindrance.

Qi Yuan did not lie to her.

Qi Yuan was telling the truth.

Qi Yuan... who are you really?

Jin Li was somewhat confused, a hint of inferiority emerging in her heart.

However, she quickly discarded these feelings, "Everyone, carry your ladders, follow me inside.

Remember, even if you encounter a terrifying beast, do not leave your ladder. Understand?"

"Yes Ma'am!"

A few of the imperial guards responded.

The head of the Imperial Guards advised, "Your Majesty, your life is invaluable. You should not put it at risk. Let us enter, and you can wait here."

Empress Jin Li thought of Qi Yuan.

If she did not go in, it would be betraying Qi Yuan's trust.

"No worries, I will go in with you." The empress's words were definitive.

A group of people carrying their ladders entered Xuanyuan Forbidden.

The only living prisoner was swiftly dealt with.

"So many Spiritual Medicines!"

"This is the Three-flower Fragrance!"

"Xuan Desire Grass!"

"Green Fruit!"

The imperial guards who entered the outskirts of Xuanyuan Forbidden were incredibly excited.

Because, there were so many Spiritual Medicines here.

No one had entered here for over ten thousand years.

The number of Spiritual Medicines could be imagined.

Unlike other forbidden areas where the periphery's Spiritual Medicines had been plucked by the powerful, no one dared to enter the depths.

And now, plucking from the outskirts of Xuanyuan Forbidden, they had a very rich harvest.

"In just two hours, we've already gathered twenty-three king-class Spiritual Medicines," Jin Li couldn't help sighing.

King-class Spiritual Medicines, even as the Empress of Nanqian, from childhood to adulthood, she had only consumed less than ten.

And yet, here, in such a short time, they had gathered twenty-three.

As for other grades of Spiritual Medicines, there were even more.

One could say that this small harvest alone was worth more than a year's income from the national treasury.

The head of the Imperial Guards' face lit up, "With so many Spiritual Medicines, we don't know how many powerhouses we can build, and how many experts we can hire!"

Jin Li was also happy in her heart.

She remembered Qi Yuan's words, that he had cleared the Xuanyuan Forbidden instance. Yes, it was called an instance.

She seemed to think of something and said, "We're going to the depths of Xuanyuan Forbidden. We must pluck the Emperor-class Spiritual Medicine, especially the Nine-Flower Qiluo."

Jin Li wanted to go deep in for sure, especially to harvest the Nine-Flower Qiluo.

But there was another reason.

The guards by her side changed their expressions slightly upon hearing this.

There were Emperor-class Spiritual Medicines in the depths of Xuanyuan Forbidden, but there were surely Emperor-class beasts as well.

If they encountered a king-class beast, they could still run away.

If they ran into an Emperor-class beast, they'd hardly be able to escape alive.

They gripped their ladders even harder.

Unsure if the ladders would still be of use.

"We're willing to go with you, Your Majesty!"

"Hmm." Jin Li nodded.

If she wanted to turn the situation around, these twenty-something king-class Spiritual Medicines were far from enough.

She had to get the Nine-Flower Qiluo to heal Aunt Qin's injuries, and even help Aunt Qin advance further.

She also wanted to gather other Emperor-class Spiritual Medicines.

Of course, she also wanted to have a look at the depths of Xuanyuan Forbidden, where Qi Yuan had stayed for half a year.

A group of beautiful women, carrying ladders, carefully walked through Xuanyuan Forbidden.

Whenever they met a beast, whether powerful, weak, fierce, or mild, they all turned a blind eye to the group, even as if they were afraid to hurt Jin Li and her party.

This scene amazed the head of the Imperial Guards, "We, with ladders on our backs, can enter Xuanyuan Forbidden, and these beasts won't even attack us.

This is truly beyond comprehension."

After saying this, she turned to Jin Li, "I wonder which brilliant person revealed this method to Your Majesty."

The others looked at Jin Li too, their hearts also filled with curiosity.

It must have been a supreme Emperor, right?
