Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Inside the late emperor's mausoleum!

Hundreds of elite Night Watchmen and Imperial soldiers patrolled back and forth in front of the bronze stone gate of the imperial mausoleum.

Yan Ji suddenly appeared here in a few ghostly flashes.

She appeared out of thin air in front of the guards, who stood as straight as if they hadn't seen her at all.

With Yan Ji's strength, if she didn't want to be seen, these people would never be able to see her.

'Is this the entrance to the mausoleum of the First Emperor of Humanity?'

Yan Ji ignored these people and looked up at the huge stone gate in front of her.

She immediately spotted the coiled blue dragon carving atop the stone gate.

His expression suddenly brightened!

This massive stone gate is entirely cast in bronze, and the years have left many ancient marks on it, but the patterns carved on it are still lifelike, especially the coiled blue dragon at the top, whose eyes are inlaid with two naturally formed blue-green gemstones, as if watching over everyone who comes here.

The seven stars on the dragon's body look like places where gems were originally inlaid, which have been pried out, leaving them empty and dim.

'It really is the Azure Dragon!'

'Just as Yao Yue said...'

Yan Ji noticed the holes in the seven stars, thought to herself, and then looked at the human guards here.

However, no matter how powerful she is, it's impossible for her to open the stone door in front of these human guards without being discovered.

Then the only option is to kill them all!

A chilling killing intent suddenly emanated from Yan Ji's eyes.

Originally, she didn't intend to cause too much of a commotion during her trip to the human territory.

The goal is to secretly seize control of the Night Clan's power without the knowledge of other dark races, bring Night Song under their wing, and simultaneously control the human empress Long Ying, thereby gaining control of the entire court of the human empire.

In this way, the human race was basically under her control.

However, if she could successfully enter the imperial mausoleum and obtain the Azure Dragon's remains, then she wouldn't need to go through all that trouble.

If she can successfully advance to become a demigod, then her strength will be enough to make her not care about any person or race!

Let alone the other three demon lords.

Even if the Demon Lord came, she would not be afraid!

Flame Princess slowly raised her hand.

A ball of dark red demonic flame appeared in her palm.

She was prepared to eliminate the human guards inside the imperial tomb!

"General Wang."

Just then, a night watchman ran in from outside and said, "We've been ordered to leave for now."

"Huh? Why are we suddenly leaving?" General Wang asked, puzzled.

The night watchman said, "Alas, I heard that Lord Night Song is arriving soon. The palace gates won't open until he arrives, and it's said that there are many secret treasures inside, left behind by the late emperor—all national treasures! How could they let us lowly people see them..."

"Damn it... what a cheapskate! I was hoping to see something amazing tonight!" General Wang cursed.

"Hehe... General Wang, calm down. The higher-ups have ordered us to retreat to the outside of the imperial mausoleum and guard it, and not to let anyone approach."

"Okay, okay, I got it..."

Soon, all the Night Watchmen and Imperial Army soldiers stationed inside the imperial tomb withdrew.

As Yan Ji watched the well-trained army quickly depart, she mused, "They're really lucky..."

Thus, she was left alone in the imperial mausoleum.

Without being disturbed by others, she slowly walked to the bronze stone door.

Yan Ji remained silent for a moment, then silently recited the mantra in her mind, slowly raised her hand, and began to circulate her magic power.

Following the method Yao Yue had instructed her, she poured the energy into the dragon patterns carved on the stone gate...

Sure enough, the seven dim stars lit up one after another.

Those stars received the infusion of magic, emitting a dark purple light, with countless tiny stars among them, as dazzling as the stars in the universe!

hum!

The dragon's eyes also finally lit up with a jade-green light.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

A loud rumble shook the ground.

The massive stone gate slowly opened!

Thick, old dust seeped out from the cracks in the door.

Yan Ji's eyes flickered slightly, her mood showing a hint of excitement.

It worked!

The stone gate opened completely, and the dust gradually dissipated.

A huge tomb hall came into Yan Ji's view.

Yan Ji stepped into the main hall of the tomb.

"Is this the mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Human Race?"

She looked around.

The tomb chamber was very large, with hundreds of terracotta warrior statues dressed in imperial armor and holding long spears standing in each of the four corners.

Judging from the style of their armor, it should be the standard armor from the reign of the First Emperor of the Human Race.

The terracotta warrior standing in the middle of the entrance is the tallest, at least three meters tall. His armor is as black as iron and its style is different from the other terracotta warriors. He should be the captain of the other terracotta warriors in this tomb.

Yan Ji walked up, raised her finger, and gently tapped it.

Terracotta warrior statue: "..."

'This material...it seems to be just ordinary stone?'

"I heard that Black Sun suffered a major setback last time in the human royal tomb's underground palace, encountering a group of indestructible stone statue soldiers."

'These should be the guys.'

Yan Ji smiled.

Clearly, these terracotta warriors are the guardians of this imperial mausoleum.

Once an unauthorized intruder is detected, these terracotta warrior statues will come to life and automatically begin eliminating the intruder.

However, as long as the correct method is used to enter the underground palace, the defense mechanisms of these terracotta warrior statues will not be activated.

"Hehe, this First Emperor of the human race is truly a talent."

"They actually built their imperial mausoleum in the same place as the underground palace where the Azure Dragon is buried."

Yan Ji continued to ponder.

The mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Human Race has nine levels.

This should still be the basement level.

If nothing unexpected happens, the tomb chamber containing the coffin of the First Emperor of the Human Race, as well as the skeleton of the Azure Dragon, should be located on the ninth basement level.

With that thought in mind, Yan Ji decided not to waste any more time here. She walked past the terracotta warriors and statues and headed straight for the next tomb chamber.

She had no idea what would happen after she left the main hall of the tomb and entered the next stone door.

The terracotta warrior statues in the hall suddenly began to hum and move. Their fingers seemed to tighten their grips on the long-handled halberds, and their eyes, which had been dull and lifeless like stones, suddenly shone with a jade-like light, as if they had suddenly come to life...
