Chapter 894: A Clean Sweep (Second Update, Requesting All Support)
Li Changsheng weighed the pros and cons and said, "I can spare your life afterwards and guarantee that no one else will harm you."
Compared to the Huang Jia Nei Ku, Dou Yuansheng's life was worth nothing; given the gap in strength between the two, Li Changsheng could take his life at any time.
"How can I trust you?"
Dou Yuansheng was naturally suspicious and felt uneasy without a guarantee; after all, if Li Changsheng were shameless, he could easily kill him afterwards.
Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Ninth Prince, you have no room to choose. Either trust me or refuse! To be honest, I am not so petty as to break a promise to you."
"I agree!"
Just as Li Changsheng had said, Dou Yuansheng had no room to choose and could only gamble on whether Li Changsheng would keep his promise; he had no choice but to agree.
"Briefly tell me about the information here first!"
Dou Yuansheng organized his thoughts and said, "The Huang Jia Nei Ku has a history of 288 years since its founding and is divided into a Dark Treasury and a Bright Treasury. This place is the Dark Treasury, which has historically only been accessible to those who have rendered great service or are direct members of the Imperial Family. You have already been to the Bright Treasury; it is right next to the Core Treasury..."
"Compared to the Bright Treasury, the treasures in the Dark Treasury are of a higher grade. At the same time, there are numerous Restrictions here, guarded by powerful Forbidden Arrays. Without the corresponding credentials, it is difficult to obtain treasures protected by Restrictions and Forbidden Arrays. If one forces their way in, the treasures will likely be destroyed by the Self-Destruction Restriction."
"What about these two tokens?"
After Dou Yuansheng's introduction, Li Changsheng took out the gold and silver tokens.
"These should be the gold and silver credentials that control part of the Restrictions and Forbidden Arrays of the Dark Treasury, but only we members of the Imperial Family can control them."
"Take them. Remember not to play any tricks, otherwise you will die a miserable death!"
To Dou Yuansheng's surprise, Li Changsheng threw the gold and silver credentials directly to him.
Even if Dou Yuansheng manipulated the Forbidden Arrays here to deal with him, Li Changsheng had the ability to handle it. Besides, Dou Yuansheng might not find an opportunity; neither Li Changsheng nor Li Haoqiong would give him a chance to pull any stunts.
"I'm not that stupid!"
Dou Yuansheng pursed his lips. Although Li Changsheng had killed his father, the Imperial Family was inherently heartless; for the sake of the throne, there were far too many instances of infighting between brothers and between fathers and sons.
In short, Dou Yuansheng clearly cared more about his own life, and everything else was pushed aside.
The next moment, Dou Yuansheng's Mental Power surged into the silver token.
In the blink of an eye, the Forbidden Arrays and Restrictions on the periphery of the Huang Jia Nei Ku went silent one by one, revealing boxes of different materials.
The boxes naturally contained treasures, but the quantity was not large, totaling only a few dozen.
However, they were superior in grade, being at least Heaven and Earth Essence grade treasures.
Li Changsheng did not look closely; he simply flicked his sleeve, and under Dou Yuansheng's pained gaze, these Treasure Boxes flew over one after another, all of which Li Changsheng stuffed into his Space Ring and made disappear.
After putting away the peripheral treasures, Dou Yuansheng led the two toward the depths of the Huang Jia Nei Ku.
Soon, a colorful light screen blocked their path.
At this moment, Dou Yuansheng began to input Mental Power into the golden token.
In an instant, a beam of white light rushed out from the token and shot rapidly into the light screen.
The light screen fluctuated violently a few times before finally disappearing, revealing the scene inside.
This was a small room, only a few dozen square meters in size.
In the center of the room stood a table cast entirely of gold, upon which were placed several sealed Treasure Boxes.
These Treasure Boxes were all wrapped in Composite Restrictions, including a Self-Destruction Restriction.
As soon as one attacked the Treasure Box, the Self-Destruction Restriction would be triggered, quickly destroying the treasures inside.
Seeing that Dou Yuansheng did not continue to act, Li Haoqiong on the side asked in confusion, "Why not continue to open these Restrictions?"
"It's useless. These Composite Restrictions were created by our ancestors. Only by obtaining the corresponding credentials can one open the Restrictions, and one can only open one!"
Dou Yuansheng paused and continued, "Even for us members of the Imperial Family, only those who have rendered great service have the opportunity to obtain the credentials. In my generation, only the Third Prince has received such an honor."
The Third Prince Dou Yuansheng spoke of was the Third Prince, Dou Yuanbin.
"Then what should we do now?"
"I have no way!"
Dou Yuansheng shook his head and continued, "Of course, you can try it yourselves."
"No need to try!"
Li Changsheng finally spoke, and then, under Dou Yuansheng's stunned gaze, he moved the entire table away...
In Li Changsheng's view, since the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong had placed the treasures here so solemnly, these treasures must be worth a fortune. According to Li Changsheng's estimation, they contained at least Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade items, and there was a significant possibility of World Wonders.
His idea was simple: wait until he obtained the credentials later or have the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong open them. Even if the probability of that was negligible, it was still better than having them destroyed by the Self-Destruction Restriction.
Li Changsheng tested it and found that he could put the golden table along with the Treasure Boxes into his Space Ring, so he collected them.
Dou Yuansheng watched from the side with heartache, as if Li Changsheng were cutting his own flesh; after all, these were the most important collections of the Imperial Family, each treasure worth a fortune, and they were all taken away by Li Changsheng just like that.
However, Dou Yuansheng immediately became nervous again, the phrase "when the birds are gone, the good bow is put away; when the crafty rabbits are killed, the hound is cooked" appearing in his mind.
Now, Dou Yuansheng could only hope that Li Changsheng would keep his promise; otherwise, this day next year would be his death anniversary.
"Leave the Space Ring and you can go!"
Li Changsheng did not break his promise; there was no help for it, as Dou Yuansheng posed no threat to him at this moment.
Besides, he had plenty of ways to deal with Dou Yuansheng.
Dou Yuansheng, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly handed the Space Ring to Li Changsheng and then left at top speed, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Changsheng, are we just going to let him go like this?"
"Otherwise what!" Li Changsheng shrugged, his tone shifting as he said, "However, we can spread the word about this, and I guarantee he won't have a good time."
Since they were destined to be enemies, Li Changsheng would naturally not miss any opportunity to weaken the Imperial Family.
"Alright, let's go meet up with them now!"
After saying this, Li Changsheng took Li Haoqiong and met up with Ning Bizhen and the others.
They had also finished their sweep and were currently standing on a palace, counting their harvest.
This time, the risk was great for them, but the harvest was proportional, and it would definitely increase their chances of advancing to the King rank.
Everyone's face carried joy, but also hidden worries; after all, with the fall of Dou Zhangsheng and the fact that they had raided an Important Area of the Imperial Family, Langya Kingdom was destined to no longer be able to contain them.
