Chapter 396 - 168 Son of Li Wanli, Li Guanyi!_3
To guide the young, who have yet to grow, and point them towards the path ahead is indeed the responsibility of the elders.
The elder’s figure dispersed, and Li Guanyi, holding a halberd, stepped over him and rushed forward.
This arrangement was peerless in the world, reaching its limit amidst complexity and obstructive formations, further modified personally by Tantai Xianming, one of the top ten strategists of the previous era, creating no obstructions for Li Guanyi. He raced across the plain ground, his speed surpassing the usual breaking of formations.
Li Guanyi charged into a grand hall, the center of the Hidden Palace, filled with ritual objects such as large cauldrons, axes, and banners, with the most central being a massive altar akin to those used for sacrificing to heaven and earth and the national welfare.
Displayed upon it were the ancestral plaques of Emperor Chen Dingye’s lineage.
These were to be used in the worship of these ancestors during grand sacrifices.
Surrounding the altar, Li Guanyi noticed thick, long-burning lamps made from oil extracted from whales hunted by martial artists in the North Sea, giving off an exotic fragrance and capable of burning perpetually. Li Guanyi did not stop his steps and continued on his way.
Ahead was a firmly locked gate.
The seals on it suddenly cracked open, and Li Guanyi burst through the door with his shoulder.
As the light from the Golden Winged Great Peng faded, he charged inside.
When the doors opened, the flames and aroma of the long-burning lamps also surged in. Yue Pengwu gasped for air, the traces of deadly poison on his face and body becoming clearer, and in front of him, Tantai Xianming was also in a terrible state.
