Chapter 125

The moment Shen Xitang’s Silver Silk coiled around the scales of her mother’s armor, a rain of arrows condensed from Star Sand poured down from outside the nine-layered Star Gate. A ghostly glow emanated from the Uyghur script etched onto the Mongol heavy armor. As the arrowheads pierced Xiao Heng’s Red Dragon Pattern, his golden blood splashed against the Bronze Tripod. Instantly, the Longevity Soup boiling within the vessel crystallized into ice—and inside every shard of ice, the ghost of a Brocade Guard was entombed! "This 'Key to Breaking the Game' that the Imperial Concubine held—which lock was it meant to open?" Shen Xitang tore the wolf-head clasp from the collar of the armor. What she pulled out was not a throat bone, but half a scroll of the *Zhizheng Secret Archives* soaked in the waters of the Return to Ruins Sea.
