Chapter 682: The Qihuang Treasure Vault Has Been Found

Senior brother, what's wrong?

The Heavenly Heart Sect's Heavenly Heart Daoist stood up again and gazed forward.

This action naturally drew the attention of the Heavenly Dream Daoist, who immediately stepped forward to ask; most of the time, the senior brother was either cultivating or sitting there, and unless something unusual happened, he would not easily leave his position.

Such a situation is rare, yet it happened several times in a single day.

The Heavenly Dream Daoist could not help but ask, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"It's fine, just an outsider strong one has arrived."

The Heavenly Heart Daoist looked up at the sky and muttered, "An outsider strong one chose this moment to descend, and it's not just one strong one—how interesting."

"Are they heading for Chen Chuyang, or are they coming for us?"

Every time an outsider strong one descends, nothing good follows; it inevitably brings disaster.

For ordinary people, the descent of these outsider strong ones will be a catastrophic disaster, and no one knows how many will die.

The battles of strong ones often affect ordinary people.

The Heavenly Dream Daoist said, "Senior brother, don't worry; perhaps their target is not us. That person Chen Chuyang has killed many outsider strong ones, so they likely came for him. We need not intervene—just watch the show."

"It would be best if they could kill Chen Chuyang; then the Spirit Sword Sect's alliance would collapse on its own, and at that point we could join others to gradually crush these forces."

"The grudge of the Heavenly Heart Sect's disciples cannot go unanswered; we must make them pay the price."

The Heavenly Heart Daoist nodded, staring at the sky.

"Don't act rashly; first observe the situation."

"Within the Great Qi Dynasty, the fortune fluctuates; I estimate something major will happen in the capital."

Those eyes flickered with differing light, a faint gold occasionally flashing.

The Heavenly Dream Daoist frowned: "The capital of Great Qi? Senior brother, are you mistaken? The capital of the Great Qi Dynasty is heavily guarded; Qi Ruohua is not the former Qihuang, and her control over the capital surpasses that of any previous Qihuang. Anyone entering the capital must undergo numerous strict checks before being allowed in."

"Anyone found problematic will be arrested immediately."

"Many of our Heavenly Heart Sect disciples have been discovered, all detained; I suspect they are already dead."

Those disciples' disguise skills are strong, yet they still cannot evade inspection.

The strictness of the Great Qi capital exceeds their imagination.

Trying to get close is nearly impossible; the Black Dragon Guard is everywhere, watching you constantly, and if you make any unusual move, sorry, you will be taken away at once.

Resist?

Overthink it, and you'll be dealt with immediately, even killed on the spot.

"There's no mistake; the Great Qi capital will surely have a major event soon."

"Junior sister, pay attention and let me know at any time."

"Yes, senior brother." The Heavenly Dream Daoist no longer doubted; the senior brother's words were utterly certain, so it was settled that he was serious.

The Great Qi capital will have a major event; it definitely won't stay hidden.

What exactly is this major event?

The Heavenly Dream Daoist looked toward the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty and muttered softly.

……

Longshe Shan.

Zhuge Ruolan went up the mountain, saw that there were several more people there, and was astonished.

Having recognized their identities, Zhuge Ruolan nodded at them.

These people are all connected to Chen Chuyang, and we must not offend them.

Zhuge Ruolan also did not want to clash with them; she smiled at Shang Hongxue, for this woman is Chen Chuyang's wife and must be respected.

Others may be indifferent, but Shang Hongxue must be given face.

Shang Hongxue returned a smile; between them, they could be considered acquaintances.

"Zhuge Ruolan, you came this time to see your elder brother?"

Chen Chuyang asked lightly.

Zhuge Ruolan shook her head: "Chen Chuyang, I came to see you this time with good news to tell you."

"Have you found it?"

Chen Chuyang's expression brightened as he fixed his gaze on Zhuge Ruolan.

Zhuge Ruolan nodded: "Not bad; we have found it."

"Not long ago, we found a clue, and then we located the place you wanted to find."

"However, it hasn't been opened yet; we need your help."

Chen Chuyang frowned: "Cannot be opened?"

"Yes, our strength cannot open it; the formation blocks it. Those formations are too profound; we have studied them for a long time with no solution, so I recalled your expertise in formations."

The Qihuang treasure vault has been found, but we simply cannot enter it.

Zhuge Ruolan came at once to tell Chen Chuyang, and also hoped he would make a trip to the capital.

The Qihuang treasure vault is extremely precious; this news has not yet leaked.

Zhuge Ruolan worries that if others learn of the Qihuang treasure vault's existence, things could turn bad.

The secret of the Qihuang treasure vault won't stay hidden for long; sooner or later, many keen individuals will find out.

Moreover, Zhuge Ruolan suspects that Qi Ruohua and her group surely already know this news.

"Is that so?"

Chen Chuyang furrowed his brows: "Qi Ruohua and her group should also know this, yet they have made no move, indicating they too cannot break those formations."

"Qi Ruohua also wants to enter the Qihuang treasure vault to seize its treasures."

The Qihuang treasure vault has always existed; unfortunately, Qi Ruohua cannot find it and cannot get in.

The treasures inside are just sitting there; why not use them for myself?

With so many treasures, they could be exchanged for many good things; at the very least, they could raise the Great Qi Dynasty's strength by several levels.

"Not bad, Qi Ruohua has long been searching for the Qihuang Bao Ku; they just couldn't find it."

"This time we were able to locate the Qihuang Bao Ku, all thanks to my subordinate Li Shenghong; without him, we really wouldn't have discovered it."

Zhuge Ruolan specifically praised her subordinate, and at the same time let Chen Chuyang know this person.

Her subordinate, Zhuge Ruolan's, is indeed useful; she usually doesn't shortchange them, and at critical moments they truly are useful.

"Oh?"

Chen Chuyang raised an eyebrow: "How did he discover it?"

Zhuge Ruolan thought for a moment, gave a simple description: it's just that they happened to pass by a place, and then Li Shenghong found it; there wasn't much of an adventure, nor any miraculous changes.

"That's exactly how it was; I thought it was unbelievable at the time, isn't it too simple?"

"That place, I've searched several times and couldn't find it, but he, on his first pass, found it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuyang laughed and said: "Looks like your subordinate has fortune on his side; remarkable, you'd better treat him well from now on."

"If it's truly the Qihuang Bao Ku, his share of the benefits is indispensable; after success, I'll give him a fortuitous opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ruolan excitedly clasped her hands: "Thank you, I'll relay this to him; when the time comes, I'll bring him up the mountain."

"Good."

Zhuge Ruolan trusts Chen Chuyang's words; he has never gone back on his word.

This is Chen Chuyang's reputation.
