Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1655 1650: Entering the Secret Vault

A powerful oppressive force swept across the grand hall.Even the coffin lids of the twenty-some coffins in the underground palace were trembling, as if unable to withstand it.

Only a few massive coffins, splendid and luxurious, remained unaffected.

The owl statue seemed to realize this, and with a gentle wave, it suppressed the trembling coffin lids.

The oppressive force no longer targeted them.

As the oppressive force had just been unleashed, not only did Harlow's face change drastically, even Karloki showed a horrified expression.

This force far exceeded the intensity he had felt the first time!

Su Chen, being at the center of the oppressive force storm, endured this pressure several times more than Karloki!

At first, Su Chen also felt the powerful oppressive force.

But somehow, in the blink of an eye, it returned to tranquility.

To him, it was as if the stormy oppression didn't exist.

"Huh?" The owl statue seemed to notice this anomaly.

Immediately, the oppressive force was withdrawn, and the entire underground hall returned to silence.

The peculiarity surrounding Su Chen intrigued the owl statue.

The owl statue saw through Su Chen's background clearly.

He was merely a first-class Marquis.

Yet the owl statue understood that the oppressive force it had released earlier, a mere first-class Marquis would surely be unable to remain unscathed.

Su Chen's ability to withstand the force without fear must have another explanation.

The owl statue unexpectedly took interest in Su Chen.

Under the scrutiny of the owl statue, Su Chen's nerves were taut to the limit.

Before long, his palms were already sweating.

Facing a possible Legendary Level entity.

Even as daring as Su Chen, he could not afford to be careless.

Was it wise to seize the initiative and flee the scene?

For now, the owl statue showed no intention to attack him further.

Should he strike out first, he would surely cut off his escape route.

This required him to be extremely cautious about how to handle the situation.

A powerful spiritual power swirled around Su Chen.

Although Su Chen couldn't detect it, he felt an inexplicable unease.

Like being unwittingly under someone's gaze.

Harlow didn't know the might of the owl statue, but Karloki knew much more.

The owl statue, upon observing Su Chen for a good while without making a move, had already puzzled him.

At such a time, the owl statue should've expelled Su Chen or killed him.

Why is this situation unfolding as it is now?

Originally, Karloki had intended to step in as a savior when the owl statue made its move.

But who could have foreseen…

"Ahaha... So that's how it is. It seems you do have the qualification to enter."

The owl statue suddenly laughed and then surprisingly withdrew its oppressive force, flying back to the wall.

As it attached itself, the once solid wall began to fade away.

A portal suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Two heavy stone gates slowly opened to the sides.

Unexpectedly, the owl statue did not stop Su Chen from entering!

"You have only thirty minutes. The Secret Vault door will close after thirty minutes. If you don't come out in time, you'll have to wait for the next opening of the vault." The owl statue's last words before disappearing.

Karloki's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What on earth?

Why didn't it stop Su Chen from going inside? Hmm?

Although Karloki had brought Su Chen here, he absolutely did not intend to let Su Chen enter.

Now, he seemed caught in a bind.

The owl statue guarding the Secret Vault door actually let Su Chen in?

Even Harlow was dumbfounded.

He was wide-eyed and slack-jawed at the scene.

Initially, he agreed to bring Su Chen to the Secret Vault because of Karloki's words.

Karloki had assured confidently that Su Chen absolutely had no chance of entering the Secret Vault, as the Guardians would certainly not allow outsiders in.

But now, Karloki was completely embarrassed.

Though the owl statue had given Su Chen a hard time.

In the end, it seemed to change its mind, allowing Su Chen into the Secret Vault!

"No!" Karloki shouted in despair.

As Su Chen regained his composure, preparing to step into the Secret Vault, Karloki called out to stop him.

Standing at the entrance, Su Chen heard Karloki's words but did not retreat, he merely looked at Karloki.

As if waiting to hear a reasonable explanation from Karloki.

"This Secret Vault..." Karloki opened his mouth but had no idea how to explain.

The Bloodline's Secret Vault, no outsiders allowed?

Then what were you doing before?

If you knew outsiders weren't allowed in the Secret Vault, why bring me here?

Su Chen wasn't someone to be easily deceived!

"Does the Duke have anything to say?" Su Chen said with a cold smile.

He wasn't a fool, from the moment he saw those twenty-some coffins, he felt enveloped by intrigue.

The owl statue made his skin crawl, feeling as if his life was at imminent risk.

If the owl statue hadn't surprisingly given him passage.

There might have been a fierce confrontation today.

No matter if he could escape today, he wouldn't let the Nopheler Family off easily.

Now the owl statue had fallen silent, but Karloki stepped forward once more.

Su Chen's mood took a dive.

"This... Death God, perhaps it's better not to enter the Secret Vault, I just recalled that before my last sleep, I slayed some Holy See Archbishops, their weapons were also Ancient Weapons, I can offer you three Ancient Weapons..."

Duke Karloki offered three Ancient Weapons as a bargaining chip, hoping to deter Su Chen from entering the Secret Vault.

Su Chen didn't hesitate long.

He directly declined.

"I'm not greedy, two Ancient Weapons are more than enough, I'll just be in and out quickly."

After speaking, Su Chen entered through the stone gate.

Ripples spread in the circle, and Su Chen's figure already vanished inside.

Karloki seemed utterly defeated.

He truly could not comprehend how the Guardian would allow Su Chen entry?

Wasn't it said that only members of the Nopheler Family could enter, all others would be kept out?

After a moment of distraction, Karloki began to voice his demands to the owl statue.

The owl statue's face emerged from the stone wall once more.

"Ordinary people certainly have no qualification to enter, but he is different from ordinary people."

"What do you mean?" Karloki was confused.

"If the Nopheler Family does not become his enemy, they might bask in his glory, but if they choose to oppose him, they face utter destruction." The owl statue said to Karloki.

"Then why didn't you just kill him earlier?" Karloki continued to question.

However, this only drew a sneer from the owl statue: "Kill him? Why kill him? Haha, why should I kill him? Such an interesting character, hahaha..."
