Chapter 259: The Four Guardians

In the deepest part of the palace,
It is a cemetery.
Here lies the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Responsible for guarding the imperial tombs are the eight attendants, named as Heaven, Earth, Mysterious Yellow, Universe, Chaos, and eight others.
In the imperial mausoleum, lies the secret of the royal family, so it is not surprising to have eight guardians.
However, in reality, these eight guardians are actually protecting another secret.
When the anomalies occurred inside and outside the capital city, the eight statues sitting cross-legged outside the imperial mausoleum simultaneously opened their eyes as if they were made of clay.
"The four guardians have awakened."
"Could it be that something has happened to the Empress?"
Eight people communicated using their divine senses, and suddenly, all eight of them looked towards the Imperial Tomb.
Inside the tightly locked gate, in the lonely depths, there was something moving towards the outside of the Imperial Tomb.
Eight people furrowed their brows and focused their gazes on the desolate depths.
Dah... Dah... Dah... Dah...
A crisp sound, resembling the sound of hooves, resounded.
A beast, around four to five meters tall, walked to the entrance of the imperial tomb.
The exotic beast has six legs, with a body resembling that of a tiger or leopard, and a head and tail resembling a dragon. It has a golden color, with two horns on its head and dazzling electric arcs flashing all over its body.
Upon seeing this creature, the eight attendants' faces turned extremely serious.
The beasts seemed to have not noticed the eight offerings and pushed open the tightly locked iron gate of the imperial tomb, slowly walking out.
After the beasts left, the last one of the eight offerings, the desolate offering, let out a sigh of relief and said, "Such a strong aura, it feels suffocating."
"That should be the true god of summer," said the Earth Devotee.
The Sky Devotee continued to look deep into the imperial tomb and said, "There are three more."
The Dark Devotee asked, "Are we just going to stay here and do nothing?"
"What can we do?" asked the slightly chubby Yu Gongfeng, squinting his eyes.
As this question was asked, the other attendants remained silent, knowing in their hearts that they couldn't do anything.
If there were only one guardian waking up, the eight of them could still do their duties, but now there are four guardians waking up together, so they don't have a chance to say anything.
A strange bird resembling a crow, with a floral crown on its head, a white beak and reddish claws, and blue-green feathers, quickly flew out from deep within the imperial tomb and landed outside.
The strange bird glanced at the eight offerings, and then, from its mouth, emitted a very crisp sound.
"Leave here, or you'll be eaten by that guy."
After saying this, the strange bird flew away from the Eastern Capital with a twig in its mouth.
The eight worshipers looked at each other and didn't know whether or not to listen to the strange bird's words.
"Excuse me, is that the Goddess of Spring?" asked the Patriarch of Space.
The Patriarch of Earth frowned and said, "Should we listen to her and leave this place?"
"Our duty is to guard here. How can we leave?" the Patriarch of Mystery retorted.
However, Tian Gongfeng doesn't think so.
Just saw Tian Gongfeng looking at the seven of them and saying, "You guys can leave, I'll stay here and watch."
It is not realistic to have everyone leave, but Tian Gongfeng can sense the crisis from the words of the God of Spring.
He almost drove away the other six guardians, and now he is the only one left. Tian, the Guardian of the Sky, looked up and stared into the depths of the Imperial Tomb. He really wanted to see the true face of the four guardians.
Now we have seen two people, and there are still two left.
The white fog gradually permeates the imperial mausoleum.
This white fog shrouds the imperial mausoleum and prevents the Heaven's Grand Offering from being able to see the end of the mausoleum even with all its efforts.
As Tian Gongfeng withdrew his disappointed gaze, suddenly, a series of strange sounds echoed in his ears.
The sound was like a dog's bark, but it was sharp and piercing, making Tian Gongfeng feel uncomfortable.
天供奉忍着这些刺耳的声音，再次往皇陵之中看去，紧接着，他瞪大了双眼。
Inside the tomb, a white mist filled the air, and there was a figure that seemed extremely eerie, walking towards Tian Goufeng.
At this moment, the fog is thick, and the figure in front of the deity is still not visible. After a while, the figure becomes gradually clearer, and the deity can also see it clearly.
When that thing reaches in front of the deity, the deity has already widened its eyes, dumbfounded, and its expression has become dull.
It is a strange beast floating in the air, with eight hands and eight legs, vaguely humanoid but covered in scales.
Its body appears bloated and obese, standing before the heavens like a mountain.
Suddenly, a miserable scream echoed from outside the imperial tomb.
The other seven attendants who were expelled from the imperial tomb heard this scream and wanted to turn around and rush back to the tomb. However, when they turned around, all they could see was the imperial tomb shrouded in white mist.
And, the beast's figure hidden deep in the imperial mausoleum, towering like a mountain!
…
Outside the Gate of the Halberd, the Empress has already crushed the night pearls in her hand,
Su Qinghuan does not understand the intention behind her actions.
What does this Night Pearl represent? Besides the Empress, only Tao Yuan seems to have a clear idea.
However, in the moment when the Night Pearl was crushed, four extremely terrifying gazes fell upon the gate of the Ji sect, fell upon Su Qinghuan.
Even if she didn't understand the purpose of the Night Pearl, Su Qinghuan was well aware that all four of those divine gazes were fixed on her in this moment.
As a result, a thought quickly formed in Su Qinghuan's mind.
Escape.
The purpose of this line has already been achieved, and there is no need to continue to linger here and get too involved.
Just as Su Qinghuan was about to use the escape technique to run away, the world suddenly became extremely quiet.
Su Qinghuan looked up at the sky,
and at some point, the cumulus clouds in the sky pressed down extremely low, as if being controlled by something, gradually forming a huge circle.
Next, the white clouds pressed down towards the ground and in a moment, they were only a few hundred meters away from the ground.
Su Qinghuan looked towards the clouds,
She could hear the sound coming from within the clouds.
Stab...stab...stab...
Suddenly, a spark of electricity flashed before Su Qinghuan's eyes.
Su Qinghuan took a half step back, and that spark of electricity almost grazed her face.
Next, the nine tails behind Su Qinghuan moved and firmly protected her.
In an instant, countless electric arcs crackled on those nine tails, and when all the electric arcs disappeared, the nine tails stretched out and Su Qinghuan looked towards the depths of the clouds.
The clouds still linger leisurely,
The sky and earth have yet to change their colors.
Su Qinghuan looked at the shadow in the clouds and said, "Clearly being a member of the demon race, yet reduced to doing the bidding of the human race."
The shadow did not speak, and the six feet under its feet trampled on the white clouds, gradually revealing its true form.
Xia Shen Zhen Jun is a monster with the bloodline of the Pixiu. It has been guarding Da Zhou for a thousand years, but it does not like to wander around casually.
It is different from the monster that likes to eat people, it enjoys tranquility the most.
It also rarely speaks, after all, that would disturb itself.
Xia Shen Zhen Jun's whole body is surrounded by blue electric lights, especially the electric light between the two corners on the top of its head!
