Chapter 529: Clues to the Imperial Mausoleum
Translator: 549690339
Just like Han Er Maiden, Young Li Wangye was blessed and full of treasures. The injuries he had suffered in the Yong Yue Mountain Range were limited, and after these few days of careful recuperation, he had already recovered.
The reason why he pretended to be sick to the outside world was partly because of the political need of the Western Qin Empire to wrangle with the Misery Sea. On the other hand, he was taking the opportunity to secretly digest the Black Dragon Qi.
As a member of the Western Qin royal family, Li Gucheng, who had outstanding talent and comprehension in martial arts, had made up for his innate shortcomings and improved his martial arts by leaps and bounds.
What he cultivated was the most orthodox Dragon Emperor Heavenly Edge.
Now that he had obtained one of the five black dragon energies, he was advancing by leaps and bounds.
However, Young Li Wangye chose to conceal his strength and conceal his cultivation as much as possible.
The current situation in Western Qin was unpredictable. According to Mr. Zun, the Great Emperor of Western Qin, Li Ce, was still alive.
After transforming into his father’s blade slave, Young Prince Li had become a lot calmer and no longer so carefree.
He had been urging his subordinates to search for the sloppy Daoist who had tried to assassinate him that day.
If the other party was really Wu Tong of the treehouse or Wu Tong’s helper, then the first assassination was enough.
The so-called second assassination attempt was to help the Great Emperor of
Western Qin, Li Ce, occupy the body of Li Gucheng.
However, if it was not Wu Tong and there were no other assassins…
Was that sloppy Daoist completely unaware of the Green Bull Temple like what Zhao Shimian said?
Li Gucheng thought for a while and then collected his thoughts.
He began to focus on his own cultivation while quietly waiting for Mr. Zun’s next summon.
Finally, one day, the light in front of Young Li Wangye’s eyes changed, and he suddenly disappeared from his resting room.
When his vision returned to normal, he had already turned into a fruit and was hanging on the Life Creation Divine Tree. There were also other fruits on the tree.
Wu Tong was there too.
Young Li Wangye remained calm for the time being and did not greet the other party. He was prepared to wait until he met with Mr. Zun first.
Everyone came to the main hall. In front of the round table, Mr. Zun, who was enveloped in light, was sitting there and waiting quietly.
Li Gucheng observed the others. Although he couldn’t see their faces clearly, based on his past experience, he could tell that other than Hu Yang himself, the other two should be Wu Tong and Song Shu.
Don’t come from the east if you don’t see the “peach tree”, and the “maple tree” that you saw for the first time last time.
Mr. Zun remained calm as he smiled at them. wonder if you have any good news for me?”
“Wutong’”s voice trembled slightly.”Junior…I haven’t found anything yet, so please give me some more time. I’ll find some clues as soon as possible.” “Then I’ll wait for your good news, young friend,” Mr. Zun said in a gentle tone.
“I’ll do my best,” said ‘Wu Tong’ quickly.
“Pine Tree” Ji Zhong also said apologetically, “”Junior…”
Mr. Zun waved his hand and interrupted him calmly, “”Little friend, you don’t have freedom right now. The situation is special, so I naturally won’t force
you.”
“Thank you, Senior.” Ji Zhong bowed to Mr. Zun.
Li Gucheng looked thoughtfully at this “pine tree” but did not say anything. Instead, he said to Mr. Zun,”Senior, I have a new clue.”
Mr. Zun nodded and enveloped Li Gucheng with a beam of light, talking to him alone.
“Little friend, what did you gain?” Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as Mister Zun, asked unhurriedly.
“Senior, I have read through many ancient books and have some ideas about the location of the legendary imperial tomb.” Li Gucheng said calmly.
Mr. Zun didn’t say anything and just looked at Li Gucheng quietly.
Young Li Wangye took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said, suspect that the Human Emperor Mausoleum is not on land, but in the eastern
sea. ”
“Evidence?” Mister Zun asked calmly.
“There are two main points,” said Li Gucheng.
Firstly, according to the ancient records, from the fall of the Human Emperor until now, in about 5,000 years, unusual tremors began to appear in the sea. The intervals ranged from 1,000 to 100 years, but each wave was earth-shattering.
Secondly, there was a type of stone called Sea Peace Stone. It was completely extinct about five thousand years ago and had never been seen again since then, becoming a legend.
I suspect that if there really was an imperial tomb, perhaps when it was built, it would have taken away all the Sea Peace Stones in the mortal world. Otherwise, the timing would not be so coincidental.”
As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Zun in front of him.”l believe that there were also senior experts who discovered these problems and followed the clues to the sea to find the imperial mausoleum.
However, there were many calamities and tribulations in the Red Dust Deep Sea. Even the powerful figures might not be able to force their way through.
However, with Senior’s method of subduing Mad Emperor, I think you can go deeper than those seniors.”
Under the light, Mr. Zun smiled noncommittally.
“Although it’s still a little illusory, you’ve indeed put in a lot of effort to read through so many ancient books and find clues between the lines.” “In return, I’ll give you a piece of news, young friend,” Mr. Zun said gently.
Curious, Li Gucheng held his breath and listened quietly.
In the end, Mr. Zun’s warm and peaceful voice sounded like thunder in his ears.
“Little friend has been painstakingly investigating who among the higher-ups of your West Qin has been corrupted and bribed by the heir of the Bitter Sea Devil Buddha. This person is your elder brother, Li Yuanbang.”
Li Gucheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the spot, speechless for a long time.
” Before your father, Li Ce, was robbed, Li Yuanbang was already the spokesperson of the Misery Sea in Western Qin. However, he kept it a secret. “Young friend, you’ve been investigating for a long time. You should have noticed some clues,” said Mr. Zun.
Li Gucheng’s body shook slightly. When he came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but reveal a complicated expression.
He had indeed gained something, but the gains had already made him depressed and disappointed.
If it was the experts recruited by the West Qin Empire who betrayed him and secretly colluded with the Bitter Sea, he would feel better.
However, more and more signs were showing that the spy was from the West Qin Imperial Family.
Moreover, it was very likely that it was the core higher-ups.
Young Li Wangye already felt extremely pained when he found out about this.
When he heard Mister Zun mention that this person was actually his elder brother, Li Yuanbang, who was the closest to him, Young Li Wangye couldn’t help but feel a huge blow.
First, it was his father, Li Ce, and then his elder brother, Li Yuanbang. The continuous changes made Li Gucheng, who had been calm for the past few days, dizzy.
He didn’t want to believe it, but the person who said this was the almighty Mr. Zun in front of him.
Young Li Wangye was dizzy for a long time before he finally calmed down.
He looked at Mr. Zun with a pleading look.”Senior, my father has lost his throne, and my eldest brother has become the crown prince and is in charge of our dynasty. He has great power in his hands, and there’s nothing he can ask of Misery. He must be unwilling to be Misery’s puppet, right?
Even if he was related to Misery in the past, he will definitely distance himself from Misery now. Only then will he be able to sit firmly as the ruler of Great Qin, right?”
“This is for you to verify and judge for yourself, young friend.” Mr. Zun’s tone remained calm and gentle.”l’m just giving you a piece of information as a reward for your hard work.”
Although he did not get a clear answer, the other party’s calm and gentle attitude calmed Li Gucheng down.
After taking a few deep breaths, his gaze gradually regained its calmness.
“Thank you, Senior. Junior knows what to do.” Li Gucheng bowed solemnly to Mister Zun.”Sir, you saved my life before. Now, you have pointed out the right path. Junior is extremely grateful.”
Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as ‘Mister Zun’, smiled and said, “”Little friend, you don’t have to be so polite.”
He looked at Li Gucheng in front of him and felt a little emotional.
In the past, although this young man had the habit of being a playboy, he was open-minded and magnanimous. He was born into the royal family and valued friendship.
However, he didn’t know if the change in his father and brother would change him.
Chen Luoyang was somewhat surprised by Li Yuanbang’s relationship with the Bitter Sea.
In order to control the changes in the situation of West Qin, one person would definitely not be able to bypass it. It was the current Crown Prince of West Qin, Li Yuanbang.
Thus, Chen Luoyang used the white jade bottle to inquire about Li Yuanbang’s information.
The result did not even need to look at his life experience. Just the big words “Buddha’s Palm” in the martial arts summary was enough to make people explode.
When Chen Luoyang thought of Cheng Ying Tian from South Chu, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Those who came from the imperial court weren’t easy to deal with.
After Mister Zun withdrew the light, he looked at Li Gucheng, Ji Zhong, and ‘Wu Tong’ and said, ‘”‘ That’s all for today. I look forward to meeting everyone next time.
Li Gucheng and the other two immediately bowed and left.
Mr. Zun’s figure disappeared from the hall.
Ji Zhong also left the palace.
Li Gucheng stopped Wu Tong.
“Did you personally assassinate Li Gucheng of West Qin?”
“Why do you ask?” Wu Tong smiled casually. You want to find out my identity? Regardless of whether it was done by me or not, that Young Prince Li is seriously injured and can’t afford it. I’ve already fulfilled my promise to you.
Your King of Benevolence immortal fruit wasn’t wasted.”
” As far as I know, Li Gucheng has been assassinated twice in a row. I need to confirm which one of them was you. ” Young Li Wangye’s expression remained unchanged.
He looked at Wu Tong calmly. Or is it not both times?”
When Wu Tong heard this, her face under the light seemed a little unnatural. “”Are you suspecting me of taking credit for myself?”
” I don’t have the heart to pry into your secrets, ” Li Gucheng said. ” But I need to confirm that this request is not too much.
Chen Luoyang tried to guess the other party’s thoughts. The ‘parasol tree’ that he was disguised as made a hesitant expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “”To tell you the truth, the person who assassinated Young Prince Li was not me. I asked someone else to do it. As for the two assassinations you mentioned, I also know that they were done by the people I asked. However, according to him, the second one was purely an accident.”
For the sake of confidentiality, Wu Tong would not do it herself, which Li
Gucheng had expected.
Hearing Wu Tong’s words, Li Gucheng asked, “”What accident?”
‘ The first time, he had already injured Young Prince Li. Although he didn’t kill him, he has no intention of doing it again. ” ” The second assassination, ” Wu Tong replied. ” It was purely because he was caught in the crossfire when he fought with other opponents. He accidentally injured Li Gucheng again. Li Gucheng acted as if nothing had happened and nodded. “Alright, I believe you.”
Without waiting for Wu Tong to heave a sigh of relief, he continued, “Now, I have another thing to trade with you.”
“What?” Wu Tong asked.
“Help me introduce this friend of yours,” said Li Gucheng.”l also have something to ask him to do..”
