low-key is king

Chapter 180 Treasure Hunt
"Why? What the hell is this for?"

Yan Chaolu, the always domineering Empress Xuanyang, seemed a little lost at the moment, her knuckles were turning white from the force she was holding on to the letter paper, which could be seen from the agitation of her mood.

This may be the most embarrassing day for Yan Chaolu since she became the Empress of Xuanyang. She suddenly discovered that the ambitions that the Yan family had prepared for many years seemed to be showing signs of falling apart.

This was not only because of the death of both Yan Rongli and Yan Haosheng, but also because of the passing Grandmaster of the Six Realms.

In this small Xuanyang country, the grand master of the six realms is a symbol of invincibility, at least the Yan family, which makes Yan Chaolu extremely confident, does not have a grand master of the six realms.

It would be fine if it was just a strong man passing by, but deep in Yan Chaolu's heart, there was a voice reminding him that the accident outside Changning City was definitely not just a coincidence.

"Chaolu, if you want to achieve great things, it is impossible to have smooth sailing after all!"

Just when Yan Chaolu was full of gloom and Luo Wuxu was speechless for a long time, a majestic voice suddenly came from the depths of Chaoyang Palace, making both of them turn their heads suddenly.

"Father!"

"Homeowner!"

Two voices came from Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu respectively. It turned out that the figure who suddenly appeared in Chaoyang Palace was Yan Rongdao, the head of the Yan family.

It's just that Yan Rongdao, who appeared at this moment, didn't have the usual smile on his face, and also looked a little gloomy.

It seems that it is impossible for him to be too indifferent to the death of his younger brother and precious son.

As the head of the Yan family, Yan Rongdao naturally also received the news of the battle outside Changning City. When he saw the shocking news just now, he directly smashed his beloved teacup that he had used for many years.

However, Yan Rongdao has gradually calmed down during the time he came to Chaoyang Palace. He is a hero who wants to seek the country.

"Father, the grand master of the six realms..."

Yan Chaolu seemed to have finally found a backbone, so she spoke anxiously at the first moment, but she didn't know how to word it afterward.

The great master of the six realms was like a mountain, weighing her down so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Hmph, it's just a great master of the six realms, it's not like we don't have one!"

However, the words that came out of Yan Rong's mouth made Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu startled for a moment, and then there was an unbelievable look of ecstasy on their faces.

"Patriarch, you... have you made a breakthrough?"

The first person to react was Luo Wuxu, a monk with perfect five realms, and when he spoke in a trembling voice, he subconsciously used honorifics, and his attitude was completely different from before.

One must know that the former Luo Wuxu was comparable to the head of the Yan family in terms of cultivation level, and he was a Qi refining monk, so he was born to be superior to a martial artist in terms of status.

Together with the martial masters, even if their fighting strength is far higher than that of monks in the same realm, in the eyes of those monks on the mountain, they are a bunch of reckless people. After all, it is impossible to prove longevity in this road to death.

In addition, Luo Wuxu actually has a teacher behind him. In his heart, he has always thought that he is equal to the head of the Yan family, and even has a slightly higher status.

But at this moment, when Luo Wuxu heard Yan Rongdao's words, and sensed the indistinct special aura of the other party, he knew that the head of the Yan family might be a little different from before.

"lucky!"

Yan Rongdao's expression was extremely proud. Although these two words were words of self-effacing, it showed that he had made great progress, and it also made Yan Chaolu who was beside him ecstatic.

It seemed that the feeling of oppression caused by the mysterious six-level master just now disappeared in an instant. She knew that her father could not lie to her.

"Let me tell you another news. A prince of the Daxuan Royal Family is currently in my Xuanyang Kingdom. If it is really necessary, we can ask him for help!"

Yan Rongdao's words were not endlessly surprising, but after these few words came out, Yan Chaolu and Luo Wuxu were taken aback for a moment, their eyes were full of disbelief.

"Prince Daxuan, why did he come to our small and remote country?"

It seems that this empress is still very self-aware, knowing that the Xuanyang Kingdom is just a small subsidiary country, and will never be seen by the big figures of the Daxuan Dynasty.

The Daxuan Dynasty is one of the eight great dynasties in the Qingxuan World. Although it ranks at the bottom, it is also a behemoth. It is said that within the royal family, there are also powerful dao protectors in the upper five realms.

Today's Emperor Daxuan indeed has many princes, but even if they are in the capital of Daxuan Kingdom, their status is extremely noble, and they will never care about this small border country in their leisure time.

"It is said that he came to my Xuanyang country to hunt for treasures. According to the information I got, that prince is a mechanism engineer. He likes to search for ancient tombs in various places. Maybe there are treasures in my Xuanyang country!"

A smile finally appeared on Yan Rongdao's face, but when it came to treasure hunting, he was not greedy at all.

Now he thinks that the most important thing is how to destroy the army of Zhendong Palace.

"Organizer..."

Luo Wuxu nodded slightly. He naturally knew what a Mechanism Master was. It was a rather unpopular profession among scribes, but the ingenious mechanisms designed by a Mechanism Master could be of great use sometimes.

Especially in some places where great powers sit, or in the tombs of emperors, mechanism techniques are used the most. Many tomb robbers will die tragically under those mechanism techniques if they are not careful.

"Father, do you think he is the Grand Master of the Six Realms in Changning City?"

Yan Chaolu himself was not a cultivator, and suddenly remembered something at this moment, his expression changed drastically, and he directly asked what was in his heart, if this was the case, then there would be a big oolong.

"Don't worry, it won't be him. I have contacted him as a father. When necessary, we can ask him to help!"

Yan Rongdao patted his daughter's shoulder lightly, he naturally knew that after the battle outside Changning City, Yan Chaolu was already a little scared of the army of Zhendong Palace.

He came here today just to reassure the empress, otherwise how would a empress sitting in the central palace be uneasy, how would she fight the next big battle well?
"The location of His Highness the Prince seems to be not far from Tianyang City!"

A gleam of light flashed in Yan Rongdao's eyes, and he said coldly: "This time, the Patriarch will go to meet that old dog Lu Mingyang in person. If he dares to come, he will be taught whether he will come back or not!"

It seems that the head of the Yan family was not as calm as he appeared on the surface regarding the death of his brother and son.

The hatred of murdering his son is irreconcilable, and he and the king of Zhendong are already immortal.

Due to the appearance of the head of the Yan family, Yan Chaolu also regained that confident appearance.

Her father had arranged everything properly, so what else did she have to worry about?

…………

Tianyang City, east of the city!

In a place about a hundred miles to the east of Tianyang City, the capital, two figures stood by the edge of a river, watching the rushing rush of the river, without speaking for a long time.

"Master Huaguang, you said that the entrance to the Tomb of the Mechanic Master is just below this river?"

Lu Xun, who was wearing a judge's mask, had a strange gleam in his eyes. He pointed to the river in front of him, and his tone seemed a little distrustful.

"Master Judge, just call me Hua Guang, I dare not call you a master!"

The Master Huaguang at this moment is no longer the fourth-grade poison master who can do whatever he wants in the Lord's Mansion of Watanabe City. He knows that his old life is in the hands of the killer judge in front of him.

Although Master Huaguang had other plans in mind, when he was alone with the judge at this moment, he really didn't dare to offend him at all, so he kept his posture extremely low.

Just kidding, even martial arts masters with minor successes in the five realms and even masters have died at the hands of judges. If a mere monk in the four realms is not low-key, I am afraid that the end will be extremely miserable.

Even Master Huaguang was able to relax so easily, it was in exchange for the poison hidden between his teeth.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what kind of torture this always ruthless judge was going to inflict on him.

The glory of being in Watanabe Castle is gone forever, but Master Huaguang has been able to straighten out his mentality. This time, bringing the judge to find the tomb of the mechanism master may be his only chance to escape.

"The entrance to the mausoleum of the mechanism master is indeed at the bottom of this river, and the river itself is a mechanism!"

As if he could see the displeasure on the judge's face, Master Huaguang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly brought the topic back, pointing to the rushing river in front of him.

Lu Xun is noncommittal about this, the mechanism master's methods are mysterious and unpredictable, he himself is a third-grade mechanism master, and the wooden kite he once made can fly to the sky, this may be the mystery of the mechanism master.

"Have you ever gone in?"

Lu Xun was pacing left and right while asking questions, causing Master Dehuaguang's face to change slightly, and he immediately restrained himself. Seeing him shaking his head repeatedly, he didn't want the judge to see any flaws.

"Hey, if I can go in, why am I still a mere fourth-grade poison master?"

Master Huaguang sighed, if other people heard this, they might think that he was playing tricks.

This is an ordinary river, where is there any sign of the mechanism division?

But Lu Xun is not an ordinary person. When he asked that sentence just now, he actually discovered something. Although the mechanism master is mysterious, there are still traces to be found.

Therefore, although Lu Xun knew that Master Huaguang's words were incomplete, but after careful investigation of the traces of the mechanism master here, he finally found some clues.

This is the advantage of being a third-rank mechanism master. Lu Xun has a sense of things that others can't see from the beginning.

It's just that what he didn't see was that while he was looking for the mechanism, the light in Master Huaguang's eyes became more and more intense.
