Zhu Linlang's gaze lingered on the animal skin in Fang Yue's hand for a moment, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "This animal skin in your hand seems to contain extraordinary power. Can you tell me where it came from?"

Fang Yue's heart was moved when he heard this. He did not answer immediately, but asked: "Linlang, do you know the background of Yang Chan? The power in his hands seems to be related to this animal skin."

Zhu Linlang frowned slightly, and after recalling for a moment, he said, "Yang Chan, this man's whereabouts are mysterious, and I don't know much about him. But he seems to have an ancient heritage behind him, and that power is definitely not ordinary. Did you fight with him?"

Fang Yue nodded and briefly recounted the previous battle, including the display of Yang Chan's strange power and Wei Ya's tragic ending.

After hearing this, Zhu Linlang looked solemn: "It seems that this animal skin is indeed inextricably linked to the power held by Yang Chan. Fang Yue, we must be careful. If this power falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I think so too." Fang Yue agreed, "So, I plan to first unlock the secret of this animal skin and understand the nature of this power before making any plans."

"Then I'll help you." Zhu Linlang said without hesitation, "Although I'm not good at martial arts, I'm quite knowledgeable about ancient books and documents, and maybe I can find clues from them."

Fang Yue looked at Zhu Linlang with gratitude, and then the two began to study the animal skin together.

As they discussed, they exchanged the information they knew, trying to find a breakthrough in every detail.

Time passed quietly, but the atmosphere in the cave became more tense and focused.

However, this piece of animal skin was just ordinary. The two studied it for a long time but could not find anything unusual about it.

"Hey, I think I know this piece of animal skin!"

At this time, the Princess of Da Chu who came with Zhu Linlang spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and they all looked at the Princess of Da Chu who suddenly spoke.

"Princess, do you know the origin of this animal skin?" Zhu Linlang asked with a hint of urgency in her tone.

The Princess of Great Chu nodded slightly, her expression solemn: "I have indeed seen records about this kind of animal skin in some ancient books. It seems to be related to a long-lost mysterious power."

"Mysterious power?" Fang Yue frowned, "Is this related to the power that Yang Chan possesses?"

The princess pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I am not sure whether there is a specific connection. But according to the description in the classics, this animal skin is an indispensable part of some ancient ritual. It is said that it can open a secret treasure from the time of the True King."

Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue were both shocked when they heard this.

The secret treasure from the True King era, this sounds like a fairy tale, but it is full of irresistible temptation.

After all, according to legend, in the era of the True King, demons, gods and ghosts coexisted throughout the world.

It was this supreme king who ended all inhuman rule and established a powerful dynasty that was completely human-centered.

However, the True King Divine Dynasty died in one generation, leaving many unsolved cases for future generations.

"Open the secret treasure from the True King era?"

Zhu Linlang's voice trembled a little. "Princess, can you tell us in detail what the connection is between this animal skin and the secret treasure?"

The Princess of Da Chu nodded slightly and began to slowly tell the secrets hidden in the ancient books.

She said, "According to the records, there was a powerful prince during the True King period who mastered a power that could communicate between heaven and earth and call the wind and rain. In order to prevent his power from being abused, he sealed most of his power and knowledge in a secret treasure. This piece of animal skin is the key to opening that secret treasure."

The Princess of Da Chu continued, "That prince is said to be a wise man during the True King period. He not only possesses extraordinary power, but is also proficient in all kinds of ancient knowledge and power. He foresaw that his power and knowledge, if used improperly, might bring disaster to the world, so he decided to seal them up and leave them to those who are destined to be with him in the future.

“And this piece of animal skin is the key thing he used to seal the secret treasure. The classics record that there are special totems and runes drawn on the animal skin. Only by unlocking the secrets of these totems and runes can we find the true location of the secret treasure and unlock the power and knowledge contained in it.

"However, the classics also mention the dangers of this power. It may be used by people with ill intentions, bringing unpredictable consequences. Therefore, we must be extra careful when searching for secret treasures and unlocking the secrets of animal skins."

After hearing this, Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue fell into deep thought. They understood that this power was both a huge temptation and a potential threat. If they could master this power, it might bring endless benefits to themselves and the people around them; but if this power fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Thank you for your information, Princess." Zhu Linlang said sincerely, "We have decided to find the secret treasure and uncover its secrets. But we will act with caution to ensure that this power will not be abused."

Fang Yue also nodded in agreement. He knew that this was a road full of unknowns and dangers, but they were ready to meet the upcoming challenges.

"Then let's go together." Princess Da Chu said, "I am also very curious about this secret treasure, and I hope to uncover its secrets with you."

"Okay, let's go together." Zhu Linlang said firmly, with determination and expectation in her eyes. She knew that this was not just a treasure hunt, but also an exploration of unknown forces and a grasp of the fate of herself and her companions.

Fang Yue also clenched his fists to show his determination. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but he believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and uncover the secrets of the hidden treasure.

The eldest princess of Da Chu smiled and nodded, her heart also full of expectations. Although she was the eldest princess, she was full of yearning for ancient knowledge and secrets in her heart. This time, being able to explore the secrets of the True King period with Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for her.

The three packed up and prepared to set off. They knew that the journey would be full of hardships and dangers, but they were ready to face and overcome any difficulties together.

Before setting off, Zhu Linlang carefully studied the animal skin again. She tried to find more clues from it to help them find the secrets better. Although she had not found anything abnormal on the animal skin before, she believed that as long as she looked for it carefully, she would be able to find the hidden secrets.

Fang Yue began to prepare some necessary tools and weapons.

He knew that they would encounter various unknown dangers, so they must be fully prepared.

He checked each weapon, making sure they were in top condition so they could be used when the time came.

The Princess of Da Chu was responsible for contacting some of her confidants and subordinates.

She knew that they would need more help and support to better complete this mission.

She explained the situation in detail to her confidants and requested them to provide necessary assistance.

at the same time.

The capital of the Great Chu Dynasty. Deep within the Internal Guard and Prison Department, a cold and solemn atmosphere enveloped the area.

This is the most confidential and core place of the Chu Royal Guards, responsible for handling all major matters related to royal security and state secrets.

The head of the Criminal Justice Department, a middle-aged man with a stern face and sharp eyes, was sitting at his desk, examining a secret report that had just been delivered.

The content of this secret report is about the mysterious animal skin and its possible connection with the secret treasure from the True King's time.

"Animal skins... the secret treasure of the True King..."

He murmured in a low voice, each word seemed to carry a heavy weight, "This power must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

He knew very well what the secret treasure from the True King era meant. It was not just an ancient treasure, but a force that could potentially subvert the entire continent.

Therefore, he had to take action to ensure that this power was in the hands of the Chu royal family.

"Somebody come!"

He suddenly raised his head and shouted, "We fought with Yang Chan and suffered so much loss, but someone else got the upper hand. We cannot allow this to happen!"

"Immediately mobilize the forces to track down Fang Yue and his group. Retrieve the hides at all costs and find out the truth about the secret treasure!"

Following his order, the elites of the Internal Guard and the Prison Department quickly took action. They spread out silently like shadows and began to track the whereabouts of Fang Yue, Zhu Linlang and the Princess of Da Chu.

The elites of the Internal Security and Prison Department shuttled through the night like ghosts. Their actions were swift and secretive, and everyone was fully aware of the importance of this mission.

That piece of animal skin, and the secret treasure from the True King period that may be hidden behind it, are of great significance to the Great Chu Dynasty.

~~~~~~
Three days later, at night.

One of the Ten Thousand Mountains, Suzaku Mountain.

Under the night sky, Mount Zhuque is majestic and covered with lush forests, as if hiding endless secrets.

The Great Chu champion, Hou Yang Chan, led his men and quietly moved through the mountains under the cover of night.

Their steps were light and their movements were quick, and it was obvious that they were very familiar with the terrain here.

"My lord, this is Suzaku Mountain!" one of his men whispered.

Yang Chan smiled slightly, then took out a hide map and looked at the lines drawn on it: "Continue to the east, our destination is not far to the east."

The animal hide map in his hand is the real animal hide map that records the secret treasures of the True King.

The one Fang Yue took away was actually the bait he put out.

Because only in this way can the eyes of the world be diverted.
Yang Chan's eyes flashed with cunning light in the night. He whispered to his subordinates: "I got this animal skin map from an ancient inheritor. It guides us to the secret treasure of the True King. As long as we find it, we can master endless power and wisdom. At that time, the entire Great Chu Dynasty, and even the entire continent, will surrender to us."

When the subordinates heard this, they showed greed and expectation in their eyes. They knew that if they followed Yang Chan, they would have the possibility of gaining unprecedented glory and power. Therefore, they became more determined and followed Yang Chan's footsteps, heading towards the depths of Zhuque Mountain.

As the night deepened, the fog in the mountains became heavier. But Yang Chan and his men seemed unaffected by anything, and their steps were still firm and fast. According to the instructions on the animal skin map, they passed through dense forests, crossed mountains, and finally came to a hidden valley.

The valley was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if it was hiding endless secrets. Yang Chan knew that this was where the True King's secret treasure was. His heart was filled with excitement and anticipation, but at the same time he remained vigilant and cautious.

"Everyone be careful, there may be hidden traps here." Yang Chan warned in a low voice. He led his men forward carefully, and every step was full of caution and care.

After some exploration, they finally came to an ancient altar. The altar was engraved with mysterious runes and totems, which were exactly the same as the description on the animal skin map. Yang Chan knew that this was the key to unlocking the secret treasure.

~~~~~~~
Fang Yue, Zhu Linlang and the Princess of Da Chu, carrying the "animal skin map" obtained from Yang Chan, also embarked on a journey to find the secret treasure of the True King.

Along the way, they crossed the vast Ten Thousand Mountains and experienced countless hardships and dangers.

Relying on her profound research on ancient books and documents, Zhu Linlang continued to interpret the clues on the animal skin map and guide them forward.

Fang Yue was responsible for dealing with all kinds of sudden dangers. With his superb martial arts skills, he was able to escape danger many times.

The Princess of Da Chu used her status and influence to provide them with a lot of help and support.

However, they did not know that their whereabouts had been discovered by the masters of the Great Chu Internal Guard. These masters followed them like ghosts, always ready to seize the animal skin map and find out the truth about the secret treasure.

One night, when the three were resting in a dense forest, they were suddenly attacked by a master of the Chu Internal Guard.

These masters were agile and skilled in martial arts, and they launched a fierce attack right from the start.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yue immediately stepped forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the internal security master.

The long sword in his hand swung like lightning, and every swing brought with it a sharp sword energy, which neutralized the attacks of the inner guard masters one by one.

Zhu Linlang and the Princess of Great Chu were not to be outdone. They respectively displayed their martial arts and strength and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the masters of the inner guards.

For a moment, the dense forest was filled with sword energy and human figures flying, and the scene was extremely intense.

In this unexpected encounter, Fang Yue, Zhu Linlang and the eldest princess of Da Chu showed extraordinary tacit understanding and strength. Although the masters of Da Chu's internal guards were well-trained and fierce in attack, the three of them gradually stabilized their position with their own expertise and tenacious will.

Zhu Linlang dodged the attacks while quickly analyzing the enemy's tactics, her eyes revealing calmness and wisdom.

She suddenly shouted loudly: "Fang Yue, pay attention to their formation, they seem to be trying to surround us!" (End of this chapter)
