Chapter 487 The Xuanyuan Imperial Family’s Conspiracy

Three days later, the heads of the eight major clans in Xuanyuan City gathered in that small pavilion and sat around each other, their faces livid and looking like they were about to explode with anger.

"Damn! I was tricked by that little brat. He actually sold the address of the ancient tomb to everyone!"

"Knowing that there are so many people here, there is no way to hide it. It won't be long before all the forces know about it and will come to share the pie."

"Those of us who use treasures to buy information have become taken advantage of! Damn it!"

The head of the Jiang family slapped the stone table angrily, almost going crazy.

"Oh! I was careless! I thought that since the Integrity Gu was there, I could definitely rest assured about this trade fair, so I let my guard down."

"I never thought that this man would be so cunning and cunning, that he would do this to us. Our eight major families have been deceived by him."

The head of the Han family sighed heavily and said dejectedly.

"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only admit that we are unlucky. At least in front of Honesty Gu, the fact that there is an ancient tomb here is absolutely true."

The head of the Lan family, one of the eight major families in Xuanyuan City, said at this time: "I just used a Gu insect to investigate, and there is indeed an ancient tomb that covers a very large area vertically downwards from the pavilion."

"It's just that this ancient tomb is buried very deep. It will take a long time to dig through the robbery hole for people to walk straight through."

"Moreover, this ancient tomb is extremely complex, and the tomb-protecting formation is extremely difficult to shake. Even if our eight major families join forces, it will take a long time to break the tomb-protecting formation."

"With so many of us staying here for a long time, it's impossible to hide it from everyone."

"What's more, it's not far from Xuanyuan City. With King Gu's speed, it's only three days away. Don't try to hide it from the Xuanyuan royal family in the first place."

Upon hearing the words "Xuanyuan Royal Family", all the family heads' expressions darkened.

No matter how big the eight families in Xuanyuan City are, they cannot be bigger than the royal family. The royal family can mobilize the power of the whole country and order the Gu cultivators of all the major families in the country, including their eight major families.

If the royal family knew that there was a large ancient tomb not far from Xuanyuan City, became interested in it, and sent strong men from the royal family to come, it would be really difficult for them to handle.

Once Emperor Xuanyuan makes a speech and wants to take the lead, do they still dare to disobey the emperor's order?

"What should we do? This place is too close to Xuanyuan Imperial City, and it is impossible to hide it from the royal family."

The head of the Yan family, one of the eight major families, frowned and said worriedly.

"What else can we do? The money we spent on buying the address of the ancient tomb must have been wasted. Let's accept our fate. It is impossible to have exclusive access to the treasures in the tomb. But there is no way we can't get a piece of the treasure. At least we can get our money back."

"Let's first find out who left the ancient tomb below. Master Lan, can your Gu be able to find out the identity of the tomb owner?"

The head of the Jiang family looked at him expectantly and asked aloud.

Knowing the identity of the tomb owner can completely determine whether the tomb is a poor tomb or a rich tomb. If the tomb owner is an emperor, then there is no need to think about it. The imperial tomb must be extremely rich.

The head of the Lan family smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "It is difficult to determine the identity of the tomb owner just from the appearance of the ancient tomb."

"If you want to know the identity of the tomb owner, I'm afraid you need to break the outer formation. Only by obtaining at least one burial object can you know the identity of the tomb owner."

"But this tomb is very big, and there must be a lot of burial objects inside. It can't be a poor tomb."

"As long as it's not a poor tomb, we can get our money back." The head of the Han family nodded and said excitedly: "Now that the news about the ancient tomb has been confirmed, let's start digging holes for theft from our eight major families."

"Take a step at a time and dig out the thief's hole first."

The other family heads nodded and called out to the family Gu cultivators they led, and began to dig the robbery holes in full swing.

…

Xuanyuan City, in the imperial palace.

A majestic man sat on a dragon chair, looking at the silk on the table. What was recorded on the silk was the top ten ranking list of the Western Region Genius Competition.

"Can you contact these five people, Zhang Renshan, Long Dan, Qin Mingyue, Mu Yi, and Jiu Qingqing?" Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly raised his head and asked an old man standing opposite.

"I contacted them all, but these five people refused to join the Xuanyuan Empire. No matter how big the conditions I offered, I couldn't impress them."

Xuanyuan Zhi replied expressionlessly, showing no restraint under the emperor's majesty.

Emperor Xuanyuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The other geniuses have their own forces behind them. It is normal that they were not recruited. I didn't expect that Zhang Renshan, a poor casual cultivator, would not like my small temple."

Emperor Xuanyuan's expression was clearly displeased.

"This person has perfected the world's best body-training technique, "The Only One in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths". After completing this technique, he is invincible in the world. His wider space is in the middle region. It is normal for him to look down on my Xuanyuan Empire." Xuanyuan Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Is this the best body-training technique in the world? This technique is really coveted. Since he won't give you face, then before he has grown up and there is no power behind him, then wipe it out in time and make him the best in the world. Take the body training technique from me."

"This matter should be carried out in secret. Don't reveal any flaws." Emperor Xuanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a vague murderous intention flashing in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhi nodded and said with a serious expression: "He is still in the city at this time, so it is not convenient for him to take action. If I guess correctly, he is waiting for news about the ancient tomb and is preparing to go in and get a share of the pie."

"All geniuses are like this. When they encounter an opportunity, they have to get involved no matter how dangerous it is."

"Qin Mingyue is also in the city, probably waiting for news about the ancient tomb. The other three geniuses left early and are no longer in the city."

The corners of Emperor Xuanyuan's lips curled up and he said with a smile: "This will make things easier. Killing a person in an ancient tomb without anyone noticing? When Zhang Renshan dies in the tomb, outsiders will suspect that he is dead. Because of the danger in the tomb, they will not doubt us."

"Since Qin Mingyue also plans to enter the ancient tomb, let's take her in. I heard that she has the best cauldron physique in the world. Instead of double cultivation, which can be doubled several times, we must capture her alive."

The corners of Emperor Xuanyuan's lips curled up, and he added: "According to the informants, the eight major families have sent their men to the same location. Not surprisingly, that is where the ancient tomb is hidden."

Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly laughed loudly and said: "They were obviously tricked. That guy actually sold the address of the ancient tomb to everyone. He is really a thief. The people of the eight major families are probably going to be pissed to death now, hahaha. …”

Xuanyuan Zhi also laughed, and after laughing loudly, his face became serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "The eight major families cannot recognize that ancient tomb, but I am fully confident that that ancient tomb is the one we have never found. The Cangyue Emperor’s Mausoleum.”

"Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest place. The Cangyue Emperor's Mausoleum is buried under our feet. It's really ironic that our Xuanyuan clan has never been able to discover it." Xuanyuan Zhi said with a bitter smile.

"The Mausoleum of the Cangyue Emperor?" Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, he frowned deeply, and said extremely seriously: "Emperor Cangyue is the founding emperor of the Cangyue Empire. The funerary objects in his tomb are too huge, and they must be There is a treasure that defies heaven."

"Once the eight major families obtain the treasures from the Cangyue Emperor's Mausoleum, they might have the power to overthrow the Xuanyuan Imperial Family."

"This matter must not be taken lightly." Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes were fierce, and he suddenly said with murderous intent: "If you don't do anything, once the eight major families break through the tomb protection formation, you will lead your army to kill all the people there. "

"Including Gu cultivators other than the eight major families, the value of the Cangyue Imperial Mausoleum is too great. Once it is obtained, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family's strength will be greatly increased, and we must swallow up the treasures inside!"

Emperor Xuanyuan slammed the table and said with a sinister look.

Xuanyuan Zhi glanced at him in shock. The order issued by Emperor Xuanyuan shocked him. He had a premonition that the Gu cultivators attracted by the ancient tomb would be a huge crowd and would kill so many people. How many people would die.

Emperor Xuanyuan was extremely ruthless and could do any cruel thing. He was a little unsure whether doing so would bring benefits or harm to the Xuanyuan Empire.

But in the end, he did not question it face to face. He respectfully said "obey" and turned around to leave.

As he left, the palace fell into silence again.

…

Not surprisingly, the discovery of a large ancient tomb near Xuanyuan Imperial City was quickly exposed and became known to the whole city in just one night.

And the news is still spreading to the surrounding area at an alarming speed.

Soon, large and small forces, as well as a large number of casual cultivators and demonic cultivators, began to gather towards the location of the ancient tomb.

At the beginning, the eight major families used thunderous means to kill the first batch of people who came, but in the end they did not scare everyone.

As groups of people from different forces arrived, more and more people gathered. Naturally, the eight major families did not dare to be enemies with all the forces. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise and choose to dig this ancient tomb together with everyone.

However, the danger level of the ancient tomb exceeded everyone's expectations. People from all major forces suffered heavy losses after entering the ancient tomb.

However, with the concerted efforts of everyone, it took a month to finally break the outer formation.

Seeing that the time was right, Long Xuan and Di Xin finally walked towards the location of the Cangyue Emperor's Mausoleum together.

At this time, there are still quite a few formations in the tomb that have not been destroyed. The treasures are hidden in the core area. The formations and mechanisms in the core area are also the most dangerous.

But the two of them couldn't wait anymore. When all the formations and mechanisms in the ancient tomb were destroyed, which also meant that all the treasures in the tomb were taken away, how could they dare to continue waiting.

There were many Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators who had the same idea as the two of them. Many Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators had the idea of ​​​​picking up bargains and formed teams to go there.

Although there are many powerful Gu kings who are preparing to rob the tomb, they cannot scare all the Gu cultivators of the Spirit Sea stage. Once the number of Gu cultivators in the Spirit Sea stage is too large, it is not something that the Gu King can massacre if he wants. When the number of Gu cultivators in the Spirit Sea stage is too large, To a certain extent, it is enough to surround and kill a powerful Gu King.

After arriving at the destination, Long Xuan found that the eye-catching small pavilion had long since disappeared, replaced by large and small caves, and there were no trees around it.

There are many people gathered here, and the number is roughly estimated to be over a thousand.

But don't think that this number is small. Gu cultivators in the spirit-gathering stage and the marrow-washing stage don't have the guts to dig graves here.

These thousands of people are either Gu kings or Gu cultivators at the Spirit Sea stage. It is already quite scary for such a high-level group to reach a thousand.

This does not include those already dead in the tombs.

That is to say, time is still short. A month has passed since the discovery of the ancient tomb. Otherwise, it would be delayed for a few more months. Gu cultivators from outside the border areas are coming one after another. Who knows how many high-level Gu cultivators will gather here.

"Tsk tsk! There are so many Gu kings and so many Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators. Are you sure that you and I can grab the tomb treasure in front of this group of competitors?" Long Xuan asked somewhat unconfidently.

The number of Gu kings was actually quite large, far exceeding his expectation. At this time, he felt that he had made a mistake.

Emperor Xin raised his lips and said with a smile: "I came up with this idea. Since I dare to use Gu King to explore the way, I am naturally confident."

"I can't guarantee that I will succeed 100% in competing for the treasure of the tomb in the hands of a group of Gu Kings. I am not that arrogant."

"But don't forget that our goal has never been the treasure of the tomb, but the Tianling Tree!"

"The function of the fruit of the Tianling Tree is to increase the chance of breaking the king. This effect is useless for those who have already broken through the Gu King."

"In other words, our competitors have never been Gu Kings, but other Gu cultivators in the Linghai period."

"Are you still not confident in competing for treasures with a group of Gu cultivators of the same level?" Emperor Xin raised his lips and smiled confidently.

Hearing this, Long Xuan felt relieved. That's right, as long as they are not greedy and the goal is only the Tianling Tree, the plan of the two can be called perfect. It is definitely not difficult to get the Tianling Tree in the tomb.

His initial idea was that he only wanted the Tianling Tree in the tomb, and he would never be greedy for other treasures, but it is absolutely impossible to have no idea about other treasures in his heart.

If he could take more treasures, he would certainly take as many treasures as possible. Who would complain about too many treasures?

After spending so much effort, he only took the Tianling Tree from the tomb. He was really unwilling at this moment.

"You seem to be very familiar with the Cangyue Mausoleum. The Tianling Tree is a legendary heavenly medicine. How dare you be sure that it is not the treasure of the tomb."

"Do you know what the real treasure of the Cangyue Mausoleum is? Can you tell me?" Long Xuan smiled and looked at Di Xin, and asked tentatively.

Emperor Xin glanced at him and chuckled, "Any treasure is useful to some people and useless to others."

"But I dare say that this treasure is useful to anyone, enough to drive anyone crazy and arouse anyone's greed."

"As for what this treasure is, I won't tell you."

"Lest it arouse your greed, and finally fight for this treasure with a group of Gu Kings and end up dying."

"People die for money and birds die for food. It's for your own good that I don't tell you. Don't ask again."

Emperor Xin kept it a secret, smiled, and continued to move forward.

Hearing this, Long Xuan felt even more itchy, and said uncomfortably: "Since you don't plan to tell me, why are you telling me so much? It's useful to anyone. Isn't it sincere to arouse my curiosity!"

"I think you did it on purpose!" Long Xuan gritted his teeth and hurriedly chased after her back. (End of this chapter)
