Chapter 138 Treasure!
Beijing.
Outside the imperial city, every inch of land is incredibly valuable.
It was inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles.
But just outside the palace, separated by only a wall, stands a vast, ancient building.
Qin Tianjian!
The Imperial Observatory held an extremely special position in the imperial court. Even powerful officials of the highest rank who commanded a large army dared not offend the Imperial Observatory.
At this time,
Xuanjizi had arrived at the Imperial Observatory. He originally intended to meet the Director, but was stopped by the Director's eldest disciple, Guan Xuanyun, within the Imperial Observatory.
"Xuan Yun, what do you mean by this?" Facing Guan Xuan Yun, Xuan Ji Zi dared not be presumptuous in the slightest.
Whether in martial arts or divination techniques, he was inferior to Guan Xuanyun.
Guan Xuanyun has even been handpicked as the next candidate for the position of Director.
With a smile on his face, Guan Xuanyun cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xuanjizi and said:
"Master has gone into seclusion!"
"Before he went into seclusion, he said that his uncle would come to find him, and that Master told you to make your own arrangements without asking him."
Xuanjizi was slightly taken aback, and said:
"In that case, I understand!"
"I heard that Senior Brother Jianzheng personally took action this time. What happened to that 'Demon Monk' Bukong?"
Guan Xuanyun:
"Bukong was rescued."
"However, the injuries were severe, and Master was also slightly injured."
hiss!
Xuanjizi gasped.
Even Senior Brother Jianzheng was injured?
He knew his senior brother Jianzheng's strength; not only was his divination skill unparalleled, but his martial arts were also unmatched in the world.
But now Guan Xuanyun is saying that Senior Brother Jianzheng is injured?
"Could it be that Liu Jingfeng, the Blood-Clad Master, is still alive?"
Aside from Liu Jingfeng, he couldn't think of anyone else in the Blood-Clad Tower who could have injured his senior brother.
Ninety years ago, Senior Brother Jianzheng had fought with Liu Jingfeng and was injured at the time.
Guan Xuanyun shook his head:
"Master didn't say."
After an incense stick had burned, Xuanjizi emerged from the Imperial Observatory.
We have just arrived outside the Imperial Observatory.
A carriage was already waiting.
"Xuanjizi!"
"It's been ten years since we last met. Why don't we come up and have a chat?"
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a pale old face!
Ouyang Jingde!
The patriarch of the Ouyang family, one of the six great families in the martial arts world.
A first-grade Thunder Tribulation Realm expert!
Xuanjizi frowned slightly.
Although he attacked the Blood-Clad Tower, his Heavenly Mystery Valley, backed by the Imperial Observatory, did not need to participate in the struggle for the Crown Prince's position.
Although the Ouyang family is not weak, they are already tied to the Sixth Prince. If the Sixth Prince fails to inherit the throne in the future, the Ouyang family will likely be greatly affected.
Getting too close to Ouyang Jingde at this stage is not a good thing.
Ouyang Jingde seemed to have seen through Xuanjizi's concerns and smiled:
"I've come to you this time on the Emperor's orders!"
"The head of the Eastern Depot has gone to the Rotten Ke Temple to ask the eminent monks of the Rotten Ke Temple to go to Posuo Prefecture to discuss the Dao with the experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"The Blood-Clad Tower has stirred up such a storm in the martial arts world recently, we can't just let this matter end by fleeing to Posuo Prefecture!"
"Eunuch Tian, who serves His Majesty, is waiting for you up ahead."
Upon hearing the name Eunuch Tian, Xuanjizi's gaze sharpened slightly.
Eunuch Tian has been by His Majesty's side since childhood, and possesses unparalleled talent. He has already cultivated the Pure Yang Limitless Skill to its peak and survived one tribulation.
Although Eunuch Tian was not one of the strongest first-rank officials in the court, he was definitely one of the most trusted masters by His Majesty.
This time, even Eunuch Tian made an appearance.
The imperial court is determined to eradicate the Blood-Clad Tower completely!
"Let's go!" Xuanjizi shook his head and got into the carriage.
Eunuch Tian's departure from the palace must have been on the emperor's orders.
The emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed!
Ouyang Jingde led Xuanjizi to a house not far from the palace.
Grandpa Tian was already waiting at the door.
The moment he saw Xuanjizi, Eunuch Tian's face lit up with a smile. He took out an exquisite box from his sleeve and said with a smile:
"We've finally been waiting for you today!"
"Xiao Bieli of the Blood Robe Tower has no respect for the imperial court and dared to attack the Dragon Guards. He deserves to die! However, Xiao Bieli is already a first-rank official. To deduce his location, we will probably need to use the Blood Calculation Technique of your Heavenly Mystery Valley!"
"The Blood Calculation Technique, once used, shortens one's lifespan by a hundred years."
"This is a longevity pill from the Taoist Pure Heaven, enough to replenish your lifespan."
"In addition, there is a Dragon-Tiger Pill from the Rotten Chess Temple, which can increase your cultivation by sixty years!"
"Please, Valley Master, make a move!"
……
At this time,
In the forests of Manzhou, beneath the waterfall.
The two third-rank Grandmasters of the Qin family looked on in disbelief.
One punch!
Just one punch!
Their Qin family's only second-rank Celestial Being has vanished without a trace?
What level of attainment does this person possess?
Could he be a top-tier expert?
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Xiao Bieli turned her head and looked at the two of them.
After seeing Xiao Bieli's face clearly, the two trembled even more violently.
Damn it!
If they had known that the person who had turned his back to them was Xiao Bieli, they would have advised Ancestor Qin Xu to surrender!
They only heard on their escape that Xiao Bieli had killed a first-rank expert of the imperial court in Yunzhou with a single blow. Qin Xu, the patriarch, actually wanted to deal with Xiao Bieli. Wasn't he just courting death?
With a 'snap', without any hesitation.
The two third-rank Grandmasters of the Qin family knelt down simultaneously.
"Young Master Xiao... Senior Xiao, we didn't know it was you! Otherwise, even if you had a thousand lives, we wouldn't dare to be your enemy!"
"Yes, Ancestor Qin Xu offended the divine might of the senior, and he deserves to die!"
"..."
The two kept begging for mercy.
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly upon hearing this. Was he someone who enjoyed listening to such flattery?
However, he did not stop the two from continuing their conversation.
The two of them kept observing Xiao Bieli's expression until they didn't know what to say.
Xiao Bieli:
"Is this a treasure from the previous dynasty?"
The two nodded repeatedly:
"good."
"When the previous dynasty had just fallen, our Qin family rescued a master from the former dynasty's palace. They asked us to give the treasure map to the descendants of the former dynasty's royal family, but we have waited for decades and the former dynasty's royal family has not come."
"That's why I had other ideas."
"However, this treasure vault was carved from a single piece of broken dragon stone. The broken dragon stone is too hard, weighing millions of pounds. Even a Celestial Realm expert wielding a famous weapon would find it difficult to break. The key is still in the hands of the previous dynasty's royal family. For thousands of years, we have tried countless times, but we still have not been able to open it."
Dragon-Slaying Stone?
Xiao Bieli nodded and walked to the stone gate.
Raise your hand, strike with your palm!
Cloud Expelling Palm!
A cloud-like palm force condensed and slammed towards the stone gate forged from the Dragon-Slaying Stone.
boom!
The cave trembled, and countless stones fell from above, but before they could hit the ground, they were shredded into dust by the terrifying blade energy.
"Indeed, it's hard!"
Xiao Bieli raised his hand and beckoned.
After Qin Xu died, the divine weapon he left behind fell into Xiao Bieli's hands.
A sense of rejection emanated from the divine sword.
"Humph!"
Xiao Bieli snorted coldly.
Divine weapons possess spirits.
But he is a first-rank expert, and a mere divine weapon dares to try to exclude him?
A terrifying spiritual force was poured into the divine sword.
In just a short while,
The divine sword conveyed a sense of submission.
Swish swish!
A sword strike!
Sword energy shot out in all directions, leaving countless marks on the stone gate.
"It can't be broken?"
Xiao Bieli shook his head.
The Dragon-Slaying Stone truly lives up to its reputation as a unique stone used by emperors throughout history to build the gates of their tombs. Although it cannot be forged into a divine weapon, its hardness is indeed terrifying.
Seeing that Xiao Bieli showed no displeasure, the two quickly said:
"Master Xiao, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to open the stone gate and obtain the treasure inside in the future!"
"Yes, we are willing to stay here for generations to guard your treasure!"
Xiao Bieli turned to look at the two of them and shook his head, saying:
Do you know my principles?
"Some things, you either don't do, or you do them thoroughly!"
"Besides, I only believe that the dead are the best at keeping secrets!"
As the words fell.
The sword flashed!
puff!
puff!
The two men froze, then split apart in the middle.
