Chapter 1133

Doesn't this mean that the Demon God body that Yin Zhong yearned for might also hold a sliver of hope?

At once Yin Zhong could not wait and said,

"May I dare to ask Your Majesty, which tribe is this Jiuli tribe, and where has it appeared in the world?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng could not help but be taken aback.

The news Gai Nie sent back said the Jiuli tribe seemed to have split into nine tribes.

The one about to appear now is precisely the Lu Li tribe, one of the nine.

It was just that Yin Zhong asking in this way clearly meant he truly knew the Jiuli were nine tribes.

At this, Ying Zheng could not help but wonder—could it be that what Yin Zhong said, that the secret records of the Tong clan were also true?

If so, had he underestimated the value of these secret records?

But right now was clearly not the time to weigh it. At once Ying Zheng said directly,

"It is the Lu Li tribe!

As for where it has appeared, I currently have no exact news.

It's just that the news says that Lu Li tribe possesses a Chiyou demonic treasure, which not only could usurp my Great Qin's Jiangshan, but doesn't even take the Qinglong Society seriously."

"What?"

This news was simply too explosive, so much so that everyone present was utterly stunned.

What manner of existence was the Qinglong Society!

It was a fearsome force where the great Dragon Chief resided—one whom even extreme-path powerhouses like Yin Zhong, even after cultivating for a thousand or ten thousand years, could not match!

A single Chiyou demonic treasure could overturn the Qinglong Society?

What kind of joke is that?

As an extreme-path powerhouse, Yin Zhong was also someone who had deeply experienced the terrifying strength of that mysterious existence.

After his shock, he said decisively at once,

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

A single Chiyou demonic treasure might be able to produce one extreme-path powerhouse.

But such a powerhouse, let alone comparing with the Qinglong Society's great Dragon Chief,

would likely not even compare with the other Dragon Chiefs and those guest ministers.

Therefore, talk of overturning the Qinglong Society is pure nonsense—Your Majesty need not believe it."

Yin Zhong not only had great confidence in the Qinglong Society, but even more had boundless confidence in himself.

He truly did not believe that a single Chiyou demonic treasure could let a martial artist beneath him reach a realm surpassing the great Dragon Chief.

That would be a dream!

After all, that was not Chiyou himself, but a single demonic treasure of Chiyou.

And Chiyou was still the loser of the ancient war!

"Er…"

Seeing Yin Zhong so resolute, Ying Zheng and the others found it hard to say anything.

Still, in their hearts they also firmly believed that a single treasure overturning the Qinglong Society was a fool's dream!

At this moment, Prince Zichu actually felt a bitter smile welling up inside.

How could he not understand Ying Zheng's words.

Most likely Hearing Cheng Jiao had learned of this demonic treasure's existence from somewhere.

And so had actually dared to rely on this demonic treasure to overturn Great Qin's Jiangshan, and even the Qinglong Society!

It was just that the Qinglong Society's strength was not so simple.

This foolish child!

How could he, after returning from death, still be so hot-headed and impulsive.

Ying Zheng, however, did not notice Prince Zichu's inner thoughts. After a moment of silence, he said,

"Regardless, this demonic treasure is ultimately a great treasure.

I absolutely will not allow this demonic treasure to fall into the hands of any force other than Great Qin and the Qinglong Society!"

Originally this sentence should have said other than Great Qin.

But saying it that way would truly be too arrogant.

If the Qinglong Society intervened, Great Qin would be unable to obtain it no matter what.

Ying Zheng could only add the Qinglong Society.

Hearing these words, everyone felt it was somewhat amusing, yet also helpless.

"Naturally. The Chiyou demonic treasure must first be examined by me, Yin Zhong, before we speak further."

At this moment Yin Zhong had also taken it to heart.

He only felt that this was a sliver of opportunity bestowed by the heavens.

A sliver of opportunity to achieve the Demon God body!

Therefore he valued this Chiyou demonic treasure more heavily than anyone present.

At once he turned his gaze to Shang Yang and Prince Zichu, and said,

"I know that Prince Zichu and Lord Shang are both skilled at divination. It happens that my Tong clan's arts also touch upon this area, just a little.

Why don't the three of us join forces? Perhaps we cannot compare with the legendary Mud Bodhisattva, but if we wish to divine a little useful information, it might also be possible?"

Yin Zhong, Prince Zichu, and Shang Yang were presently the highest combat power of Great Qin!

For the three of them to act together was truly extraordinary!

Ying Zheng had kept these experts precisely with this intention.

At this moment, Yin Zhong was the first to raise the matter, and Hearing Ying Zheng did not take offense, but instead said,

"Not bad! Father, Lord Shang, if you join forces with the National Preceptor, perhaps you may detect some clue.

This Chi You Demon Treasure is truly the top priority; I truly do not wish for Great Qin to miss this opportunity."

"Sigh! So be it! Lord Shang, let us act together."

In truth, deep down, Prince Zichu did not actually want to disrupt Cheng Jiao's operation.

After all, the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh.

Moreover, after Hearing Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Prince Zichu had always felt he owed Cheng Jiao.

But this Chi You Demon Treasure concerns the fate of Great Qin — it is a matter of state!

Personal feelings between father and son could only be set aside.

Shang Yang had also long intended to act; seeing Prince Zichu's agreement now, he immediately took out that very copy of the Book of Lord Shang, bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao.

"Since Your Majesty and Your Highness command it, how would Shang Yang dare not give his all?"

In truth, Shang Yang had long thought of using divination to deduce the whereabouts of the Chi You Demon Treasure.

But first, his own strength was limited; second, he knew Prince Zichu's heart was set on Cheng Jiao.

Now that Prince Zichu had spoken up of his own accord, he naturally went along with the flow.

East of Great Qin's Manghuang Mountain, between it and Yunzhou, lies a vast, boundless desert.

Legend has it that within this desert there once existed a kingdom called Loulan.

This ancient Loulan kingdom, according to tradition, was on friendly terms with the Great Zhou.

After the fall of the Great Zhou, the ancient Loulan kingdom feared being implicated.

Therefore, in a single night, it used a great divine power to transform a vast grassland into this wild, barbaric desert.

From then on, the ancient Loulan kingdom was buried beneath the yellow sands.

The legends of the Wu Lin of the Nine Provinces are countless.

Accompanying these legends are often martial artists who come in droves, in an endless stream, seeking treasure.

Ever since the legend of the ancient Loulan kingdom spread through the Wu Lin, over the years people have come from time to time to these ten-thousand-li yellow sands,

hoping to find some treasures.

After all, being connected to the Great Zhou, this ancient Loulan kingdom must have had no shallow foundation.

But over all these years, every inch and corner of these ten-thousand-li yellow sands has been trampled by people, and not a single trace has ever been found.

Gradually, the number of people coming to this desert dwindled considerably.

Until today, outside the desert, a great, mighty procession of men and horses suddenly arrived.
