Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyue whispered, "Everyone be careful!"

Murong Bing wielded his sword and started a fierce battle with the bronze figurine. The others also fought with the bronze figurine as best they could. For a moment, the long hall was filled with the flashing of swords and the splashing of fire.

Jiang Lingyue concentrated her energy and used all her strength to attack the joints of the bronze figurines. With a series of crisp sounds, the bronze figurines fell down one after another.

Groups of corpse bugs rushed out from the gap in the bronze mercenary. Several trialists with fire spirit roots in the team immediately used fire magic to resist.

The corpse-bugs were burned and screamed, and fled in all directions.

Just as victory was in sight, suddenly, a huge bronze beast rushed out from the darkness. It bared its fangs and claws, and was aggressive. Jiang Lingyue was startled and quickly told everyone to retreat.

"What kind of monster is this?" Lin Lige screamed.

"No matter what it is, we must defeat it!" Pei Ao gritted his teeth.

Everyone worked together to fight against the bronze beast. After a hard fight, they finally defeated it. Peace returned to the long hall and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the main tomb chamber is just ahead." Luo Qingyun said, pointing ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a magnificent stone gate at the end. The groove on the stone gate matched the shape of the sword obtained by the Eighth Princess and her group.

The Eighth Princess walked forward triumphantly and inserted the sword into the groove of the stone door. However, the stone door did not respond at all.

"What's going on?" The Eighth Princess muttered in confusion.

Jiang Lingyue went forward to check and found a small hole on the hilt of the sword. It seemed that something needed to be embedded in it to activate the stone door.

She looked back at everyone, her heart moved, and she took out a jade pendant from her arms, which was the one she had picked up next to the sword in the tomb.

"Try this." Jiang Lingyue put the jade pendant into the small hole, and a miracle happened. The stone door slowly opened.

A strong airflow rushed out from the crack in the door, making everyone almost unable to stand.

After the airflow dissipated, they looked carefully and saw a magnificent golden palace appear before their eyes.

When everyone walked into the hall, they saw a huge golden statue holding a sword, emitting a dazzling light.

"That's..." the Eighth Princess said in surprise.

Jiang Lingyue stared at the golden statue, thinking. She took a few steps forward and carefully observed the sword in the golden statue's hand.

"This sword seems different..." Jiang Lingyue said softly.

Just as she was about to reach out and touch the sword, the golden statue suddenly opened its eyes and stared at her.

"Not good! Run!" Jiang Lingyue shouted loudly, pulled Murong Bing up and turned to run.

The others also sensed the danger and fled out of the hall with Jiang Lingyue. After retreating back to the long hall, everyone looked at the hall inside the door breathlessly.

"What is going on?" Chen Ting, who was beside the Eighth Princess, asked with lingering fear.

Jiang Lingyue frowned, "According to my observation, there seems to be some kind of formation in the hall that provides power for the golden statue. It will be very difficult to enter the hall to find and destroy the formation."

At this time, Lin Lige interrupted and said, "I have an idea. We can lure it out, and then trap and ambush it while it is weak."

"How do we lure it out?" The Eighth Princess asked sarcastically, laughing at her for overestimating her own abilities.

Jiang Lingyue smiled slightly, "Maybe we can try using Xiaobing's sword."

Murong Bing thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible. The Eighth Princess curled her lips, which was considered as her consent. So, they returned to the door of the hall again, and Murong Bing inserted the sword into the door and swung it back and forth.

After a while, there were roars from inside, and then the golden statue walked out with heavy steps.

The golden statue glared at everyone and roared continuously. Murong Bing tightly grasped his sword and tried to confront it.

Jiang Lingyue took the opportunity to quietly go behind the golden statue, used her lightness skills, jumped onto the golden statue's shoulder, and stuck a talisman on the golden statue's forehead.

The golden statue suddenly stopped moving, and its eyes became confused. Jiang Lingyue took the opportunity to jump down and shouted to everyone, "Hurry up!"

Everyone rushed forward, using all kinds of spells and skills to hit the golden statue. Under everyone's combined attack, the golden statue finally fell to the ground.

When the dust settled, everyone was breathing heavily in exhaustion. Jiang Lingyue walked to the sword and picked it up.

"This sword is truly extraordinary. It is actually a top-grade treasure..." she thought to herself.

"Put down the sword!" At this time, the Eighth Princess shouted, "My team has more people and more strength, the sword should belong to me."

Jiang Lingyue turned and looked at the Eighth Princess, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, "If it weren't for our advice, would you have been able to resolve the crisis in this ancient tomb so easily? Everyone has contributed to this sword, and it must be divided equally."

"You!" The Eighth Princess was so angry that her face turned blue. "There is only one sword, how can we divide it equally?"

Jiang Lingyue knew that the five of them were no match for the Eighth Princess' team and could not protect the sword. They could only strive for more benefits while ensuring everyone's safety.

"How about this, the sword can be given to the Eighth Princess, but she must take out spirit stones to compensate everyone." Jiang Lingyue suggested.

If the Ninth Princess and the Eighth Princess hadn't argued, the fence-sitters in the Eighth Princess' team would have been able to pick up things that the Eighth Princess disdained without complaint. Now, they could get the benefits without having to speak out and offend the Eighth Princess. As vested interests, no one on either team objected.

Seeing that no one spoke up to stop her, the Eighth Princess felt embarrassed to refuse alone, as that would seem too petty.

She snorted coldly, "Okay, this princess doesn't need these few spiritual stones."

Jiang Lingyue thought about it and felt that this was okay, so she threw the sword over, and the Eighth Princess immediately reached out to catch it.

"Let's find a way to leave first." Luo Qingyun suggested.

So everyone began to look for an exit in the hall, and finally found a hidden door on a wall.

Pushing open the door, a passage appeared in front of us.

"It seems that this is the way to leave the ancient tomb." Pei Ao's face was full of excitement.

Everyone entered the passage one by one and walked forward.

After a cup of tea, they arrived at the end of the tunnel. The front was dark and empty, and seemed to be a wide underground crack. Using fire magic to illuminate it, there was no end in sight, left, right, up, or down. Ten feet in front of them, they could vaguely see the broken tunnel joint.

There are two iron chains connecting the two tunnel entrances. Under the iron chains is a dark abyss crack filled with thick fog and is bottomless.

"What should we do?" Pei Ao asked anxiously.

Jiang Lingyue looked around and pointed at the iron chain and said, "We can either use the iron chain to pass through the abyss, or return the same way. What do you choose?"

"I won't go back the way I came." The Eighth Princess sneered arrogantly, "For such a short distance, I can fly over even with a flying sword, let alone a chain."

For the Eighth Princess, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, flying dozens of feet on a sword was not difficult. However, most people in the team had not yet reached the foundation building stage, so their swords were unstable and they could easily fall. They could only use iron chains and light skills to pass through.

Chen Ting, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, looked at the two iron chains, then at the cracks, with a flash of resentment and excitement in her eyes. "I am willing to follow the Eighth Princess and go through the iron chains."

Seeing someone agreeing, the people in the Eighth Princess' team nodded quickly, expressing their willingness to pass through the iron chain. Crossing the iron chain was not difficult for Jiang Lingyue, and several people in their team also said that there was no problem.

After discussion, the Ninth Princess' team of seven people walked along the left iron rope, and Jiang Lingyue's team walked on the right.

Murong Bing jumped onto the iron chain first, then lightly jumped over the crack with a tap of her toes. Then, Lin Lige, Luo Qingyun and Pei Ao also passed through one after another.

Jiang Lingyue was the last one to jump. Just as she jumped onto the iron chain and used her lightness skills to fly to the middle of the crack, her legs suddenly became paralyzed, she missed a step and fell downwards.

In an instant, she knew she had been ambushed.

It was her first time to experience free fall, and she was almost scared to death. In just a few seconds, she had fallen dozens of meters, and she could no longer see the figures in the corridor, and could only vaguely hear the shouts from above.
