Chapter 767

"Next, the fourth point..."

"There's a fourth?" Wu Xun frowned.

Chen Guanlou discovered that when people get old, their brain activity really isn't enough. They have become addicted to inertia, where all problems can be solved by status and force, rather than by using their brains.

He silently despised the other party for a second and said sincerely, "Senior, you still need to go out and walk around occasionally; don't get addicted to the status of a martial family ancestor, it really ruins things."

"My affairs are not for you to worry about." Wu Xun was annoyed and embarrassed.

"Fine, fine, fine! Let's continue to the fourth point: why does Zhang Daohe need so many people to act as stepping stones, and specifically Ninth-Rank warriors? He doesn't want anyone below the Ninth Rank. Have you thought carefully about the reason for this?"

"What other reason could there be? There is strength in numbers!"

"That counts as one reason. Think, are there any other reasons?"

"There are immortal defensive measures."

Chen Guanlou nodded, "If what he found really is an ancient tomb from the early Great Yu Dynasty, according to various historical rumors, the early Great Yu Dynasty had a close relationship with immortals. When people died, arranging a few immortal defensive measures for the tomb was probably standard procedure. For example, something like a defensive array disk."

"Wait, why do you know so many rumors about immortals, and what is an array disk?"

"You know about formations, right? Shrinking a large defensive formation and concentrating it into a magical artifact; once someone breaks in, the artifact activates and the formation opens. That is an array disk."

Wu Xun nodded secretly, thinking that young people's brains are indeed flexible to be able to think of this, "Continue."

Chen Guanlou continued to analyze, "The array disks placed in tombs, I think, should be weaker than the restrictions of an immortal's cave dwelling. You and I are human, and immortals were also human; humans cannot avoid human nature.

The best things, the best array disks, and the best restrictions are definitely kept for oneself. Giving the royal nobles of the Great Yu Dynasty a few discarded array disks is enough!

Therefore, the array disks are very dangerous, but not to the extent that everyone must die. There must still be a glimmer of hope. Could it be that this glimmer of hope is what Zhang Daohe is seeking?"

Wu Xun was naturally unconvinced, "Why is the Zhang fellow so sure he can have the last laugh?"

"Naturally because he did his homework in advance and calculated every possibility. You don't really think Zhang Daohe is the Qinglian Sect disciple you know, do you? Senior, you really haven't seen how treacherous, shameless, and vicious Zhang Daohe is. Don't look at today's events with the perspective of the past."

Chen Guanlou was also giving a well-intentioned reminder. Perhaps the tone and content were too harsh, and Wu Xun was very unhappy, almost wanting to fight again.

Fortunately, his brain was still clear enough; he only thought about it and didn't actually fight.

"What kind of person Zhang Daohe is, I will verify for myself. You analyzed four points; is there a fifth?"

"Yes! I said before, Zhang Daohe is a cult member of the White Lotus Sect, and his status is high-level. How was the ancient tomb found? It's impossible for him to have climbed mountains and crossed ridges to find it himself. That is to say, he has a team under his command specifically responsible for searching for tombs, all of whom are talented and skilled in Yin-Yang and Feng Shui secret arts. Senior, think about it: are the Feng Shui secret arts from the early Great Yu Dynasty the same lineage as today's?"

"You got it backward. You should ask if today's Feng Shui secret arts are the same lineage as the early Great Yu Dynasty."

"Thank you for the correction, Senior. Please enlighten me."

Wu Xun pondered for a moment, "I know very little about the affairs of the Great Yu Dynasty. Although our Wu family has a long history, in terms of foundation, we certainly cannot compare to those true thousand-year families, although they are rare. I only know that the matter of Yin-Yang has not changed much over so many years. The Burial Classic was properly passed down from the Great Yu Dynasty."

"So, Senior means it is the same lineage."

"I suppose so." Wu Xun was also unsure. He was addicted to the Martial Path and had never been exposed to heterodox paths. He had just lived a long time, seen too much of the world, and knew a thing or two.

Chen Guanlou slapped his thigh, slightly excited, "Since it is the same lineage, then I can be sure that there is an expert in Zhang Daohe's tomb-robbing team who has already cracked the characteristics of the early Great Yu Dynasty tombs; otherwise, it is hard to explain how they found them. It couldn't have been by accident!

Let's expand our thinking: the expert must be researching around the ancient tomb now, having roughly calculated how many mechanisms and immortal methods are inside. During this period, many people must have died. Otherwise, Zhang Daohe would not have risked having the news intercepted to reveal it."

Wu Xun nodded repeatedly, his heart increasingly admiring the young man's brain. Youth is good; look at how sharp this brain is, one point, two points, three points... he analyzed Zhang Daohe thoroughly. When he sees the Zhang fellow, he can also use these points to bluff the other party; he doesn't believe he won't be able to trick a few truths out of him.

"Continue!"

"That's it!"

"That's it? No sixth or seventh point?" Wu Xun was very disappointed.

Chen Guanlou spread his hands, "My knowledge is limited; being able to analyze this much is already doing my best. Why don't you reveal some inside information to me, Senior, and I'll try to analyze it."

"How would I have any inside information? Everything I know, I said in front of the two Grandmasters."

Chen Guanlou chuckled, "Then tell me, why did you do what you did when you asked me to hand over the item? How exactly did Zhang Daohe tell you?"

"He only said that the key to opening the opportunity was with you. I thought you had something like a map or a key, so I asked you to hand it over."

"Why did you associate 'key' with a map or a key just because he said 'key to the opportunity'?"

"Isn't that a matter of course? For an ancient tomb, you need a map to confirm the address, right? To enter an ancient tomb, under normal circumstances, don't you need a key to open the palace, or something like a password?"

"Did you never think about digging up the grave?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously. Was he really that simple?

Wu Xun snorted coldly, showing some anger, "What kind of person do you take me for? I am not a petty thief who steals chickens and dogs; I am the ancestor of the Jiangzhou Wu family, a decent person. What decent person would dig up graves?"

"A decent person wouldn't dig up graves, yet they covet the treasures inside the tomb. Tsk tsk."

Chen Guanlou's 'tsk' was full of mockery.

Wu Xun drew his sword, "Don't think that just because there are Grandmasters around, I won't dare to make a move."

Chen Guanlou immediately laughed, "Senior, you are too irritable. You need to cultivate your character! Otherwise, when you break through, you will definitely suffer Qi deviation."

"Rest assured, when you suffer Qi deviation, I won't. My foundation is solid, unlike you, who pulls up seedlings to help them grow and loves taking shortcuts. Besides being able to fight, you are nothing."

Bullshit!

Chen Guanlou was firmly unconvinced!

With the blessing of the Longevity Dao Fruit, he firmly believed that he was the true immortal of the human world who would have the last laugh!

Just wait and see!
