Chapter 800: A Cold War

Liu Zheng also quietly watched the sand table before him.

He did not know who was leading the Nanyang army. But it was very clear that this person was still quite wise.

The few traps he had arranged were perfectly avoided by him at the cost of a small number of soldiers.

There were actually many mechanisms throughout the entire underground Tomb Cluster.

For example, the passageway they encountered earlier, the one that could swallow a hundred people, was just one of these mechanisms. And even if one hundred and one people really went in, it simply could not bear the weight; after those people left, those passageways would return to their original state.

Exquisite.

Liu Zheng could only use the word "exquisite" to describe the design of this tomb.

All the mechanisms secretly aligned with the Dao of heaven and earth.

The Dao of a chess match.

For example.

After this Nanyang army also thought of a Method to pass through that passageway, the place that this passageway brought them to was not the location of the Stone Pillar, but another space.

It was a relatively spacious area.

In this space, there were nine doors waiting to greet them.

Among them, eight doors were death doors.

Only one was a life door.

Inside the death doors, naturally, a large number of blood monkeys were arranged to carry them away...

Only the life door could lead to the next stage.

Liu Zheng was currently in a god's-eye view.

So he felt everything was extremely simple.

But on Du Liang's side, it was different.

Nine doors...

He frowned tightly.

Everything here was filled with eeriness and terror. But Du Liang was not an ordinary person; since he was young, he had studied Longyan Culture as well as this Geomancy and formation technique.

Nine doors.

Combined with the carvings and murals in this space.

He quickly found the life door.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng was also a bit surprised.

Again?

The others were also looking at each other in dismay.

Who is this person?

Someone from Nanyang?

This is not simple!

Every time, he can pass through each checkpoint with the minimum cost.

"Young Master, if this continues, I fear you are going to lose!"

Luo Qun smiled faintly from the side.

Liu Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Don't be anxious, this person has some substance, but the general direction is still in my hands..."

He felt that things were becoming more and more interesting.

He looked at the sand table before him with indifference.

He was now starting to admire the person who designed all of this.

Seeking life through death.

This was the main theme of clearing the stages; if a person could quickly realize this, they would be like him and arrive here quickly.

But clearly.

This Du Liang, although clever, was still too cautious.

But this was also normal.

He was leading the three hundred thousand-strong army of Nanyang and Liaodong... one wrong step, and every step would be wrong.

To ask him to seek life through death, he absolutely would not dare; this responsibility was one he could not bear.

And so.

Next, what awaited him was only a series of checkpoints and a series of challenges.

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

He placed his gaze on the very center of the sand table.

He had to annihilate all these three hundred thousand people here!

He did not want to go out and fight wars anymore...

He wanted to be able to take Liaodong directly after going out!

To unfold his transformation of the Liaodong land and his grand blueprint.

"Here..."

Liu Zheng pointed to the place he had chosen.

Everyone saw that spot and their expressions changed instantly.

Because at this moment, Xiao Qian's marching route was also in this direction!

Everyone was shaken to the core.

Is this meant to be the place where a peerless great battle unfolds within this tomb?

……

Xiao Qian also felt that his journey along this path had been a bit too easy.

Of course, the main reason was the various marks left for him by Vice Minister Liu and the others, or the many clues that appeared just in time.

At the same time, he felt incomparably shocked by these mechanisms.

All sorts of yin-yang coordination, all sorts of Five Elements theories, all sorts of mysteries of heaven and earth, all sorts of the nine-nine returning to one... as long as it existed in traditional Longyan culture, it would appear here.

Incredible!

The person who built this tomb is definitely a great talent!

When he walked to the third barrier, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

It seemed...

Everything had started to speed up.

Fast?

A flash of insight struck his mind.

Could it be that Vice Minister Liu was hinting to him that the marching speed needed to be increased?

Was there a rush to get somewhere?

……

That's right.

Liu Zheng nodded and chuckled, "Isn't this a large-scale drill ground? One side attacks the city, the other defends it! No matter who is leading the Nanyang Army, even if they can arrive here safely, what awaits them is a grueling siege battle!"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

This drill ground was actually where the Stone Pillar was located!

It was just that this drill ground was at the top of the Stone Pillar!

That's right.

If Liu Zheng had led his team here at that time, many of them would surely have been strangled here by the countless blood monkeys ambushing in this drill ground.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng had chosen the Huoshan at that time.

They led directly to the real underground Imperial Palace!

But...

Would they dare?

This thing was really too easy to guess.

The drill ground at the top of this Stone Pillar was very large, enough to accommodate a battle of hundreds of thousands of people... and the design was also very layered; the offensive and defensive sides were clear at a glance, and the defensive side clearly occupied an absolute advantage!

The defensive side could have fortifications and all kinds of equipment!

But the offensive side was equivalent to being empty-handed.

In other words.

What was being compared now was who would arrive here first!

Whoever did would at least occupy the initiative in terms of offense and defense!

Liu Zheng could control the blood monkeys in this drill ground at this time. Therefore, he had actually designed everything.

If Xiao Qian arrived first, the blood monkeys would hide temporarily.

Once the Nanyang Army arrived, they would launch an attack together.

And if Du Liang arrived first, the blood monkeys would have to fight them first. When Xiao Qian came later, everything would naturally fall into place!

Here.

Would be the final battlefield!

……

"Not right..."

At this moment, Du Liang also felt that something was wrong.

He felt that, clearly, the next few barriers seemed to have begun to accelerate, as if by some mysterious force.

"Is there someone in here?"

He finally guessed with a pale face.

Someone?

Qiao Yuan was stunned: "Lord Du, how is that possible! Are you talking about... that group of Longyan who came in first?"

Du Liang shook his head: "No, not them; it's that there are people in this tomb itself! These mechanisms are controlled by them!"

"What?"

Many people's faces changed drastically.

Does this mean that as they walked along the way, losing so many brothers, there was actually someone controlling it from behind?

This...

Qiao Yuan was furious: "No matter who they are, once we get in, we will kill them all!"

Du Liang smiled bitterly: "I don't know if Lord Qiao has noticed, but along the way, we haven't found a single corpse, which is very abnormal..."

Once Qiao Yuan heard this, he was also stunned.

That's right.

They naturally didn't bother with the soldiers they had lost.

But if it were said that Liu Zheng and the others had already entered, under these circumstances of heavy mechanisms—either cold arrows or poisonous gas—it would be absolutely impossible for all of them to pass through safely...

But why.

Could it be that not even a single corpse was seen?

Thinking of this, everyone could not help but shudder.
