I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 321: Louwailou was emptied

"I don't know... what is this fellow Taoist's name?"

Huangquan Dao Zong fixed his eyes on Qin Mu, who was wearing a sky-covering robe, a face mask, and not leaking any aura.

"I was just about to introduce you to Brother Dao."

After hearing his question, Cangshan Old Demon immediately smiled and patted Qin Mu on the back, "Although he is young, he has a promising future. He has helped me a lot in the past. I will trouble you to take care of him in the future."

When Daoist Master Huangquan heard what he said, he immediately knew that Qin Mu's identity was sensitive and it was not appropriate to expose him in such a situation. He nodded immediately, showed a kind smile to Qin Mu, and nodded, "I will not leave the Dark Pavilion in the short term. I will also take my disciple to the Wanbao Building to buy some things. If Daoist friend has nothing to do for the time being, let's have a small gathering in the Zhuxian Building tomorrow afternoon."

Qin Mu nodded slightly in agreement.

The old demon Cangshan also smiled and said, "In that case, I will bother you then, Brother."

Taoist Master Huangquan smiled and took Ji Yu away.

Not long after Taoist Master Huangquan left, many cultivators on this level also left. In the blink of an eye, only Fu Qingfeng, the owner of Tongtian Tower, Patriarch Huangsha, as well as Lu Shan, Li Tangshi, Wu Xingguo, Cangshan Old Demon and Qin Mu were left.

Fu Qingfeng did not make any attempt to hide his identity when attending the auction this time, but at this moment he no longer had his usual elegant demeanor. His face was as pale as paper, with cold sweat on his forehead.

As a fugitive of Dayu, he not only kidnapped Liu Ziyu from the secret realm, but also had a grudge with the Cangshan Old Demon. What's more, he couldn't even afford the huge amount of spirit stones needed to auction the Dinghai Divine Pearl.

This means that all the remaining people have grudges or entanglements with him that are either deep or shallow.

The owner of Tongtian Tower looked at Fu Qingfeng with a fake smile and said, "If you are not prepared to make a deal, I will have a talk with you about the seriousness of this matter!"

"Since the Tongtian Auction was held, no cultivator has ever dared to default on his debt in Tongtian Tower in the past few hundred years."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old demon Cangshan stared at Fu Qingfeng coldly, and a cold smile appeared on his old face that looked like dry tree bark, "Fu Qingfeng, if you take out the spirit stone today, it will be fine."

"If you can't come up with it, then ask your brother to redeem you as soon as possible..."

"However, by then, there will be more than 9.9 billion high-grade spirit stones!"

At this time, Lu Shan also wore a gentle smile, bowed to him, and said: "Friend Fu, I am Lu Shan, the newly promoted captain of the Demon Suppression Division. You are already a prisoner, and some time ago you colluded with the traitor Tian Qingliang to kidnap Liu Ziyu and escape from the secret realm. This is a crime upon crime. Please follow me later."

When Fu Qingfeng heard these people's voices, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

With his level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to escape from these people.

At this time, he could only hope that Louwailou could send someone over quickly to handle these matters for him. If it was delayed any longer, the consequences would be unpredictable.

At this time, Liang Huayu stood in front of the empty treasury, his eyes filled with unbelievable astonishment and anger.

He stared with wide eyes at the shelves that should have been filled with storage rings but were now empty, and his mind went blank.

"Where are my 4.6 billion high-quality spirit stones?" His voice trembled, hoarse with a hint of despair.

When the accompanying Ministry of Revenue official heard his muttering, he couldn't help but blink and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, didn't you ask Lord Qi to take the imperial edict and transfer the spirit stones away?"

This sentence was like a thunderclap, which shattered Liang Huayu's mind.

With bloodshot eyes, he turned his head suddenly, grabbed the official by the collar, and lifted him off the ground. His voice was as cold as ice, with a strong murderous intent, "What did you just say? Qi Haize took my imperial edict and transferred all the spiritual stones from the national treasury?"

The official was frightened and trembling all over. He answered in a trembling voice: "Yes... yes, when Lord Qi transferred the spirit stones, the four ministers, Lord Shangshu and the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department were all present." Hearing this, Liang Huayu seemed to have all his energy drained out of his body. If his body had not been made of a puppet, he would have fallen to the ground because of his weak legs.

At the end of the Daqian period, when he established Louwailou in the secret realm, there was no one available, so most of the officials and monks in Louwailou were recommended by the Qilin Clan and major sects.

In order to allow Louwailou to operate normally and to plunder population and wealth from the human world as soon as possible before the fall of Daqian, Liang Huayu had no choice but to let those people take up important positions.

He also knew that if this continued, the country would eventually be destroyed and he might even become a puppet.

But at that time, this was no choice.

Although Qilin clan's eldest prince Qi Haize had always been respectful to him, Liang Huayu had always been wary of him.

Therefore, over the years he has been trying to win over people from other forces, intending to use other forces to compete with the Qilin clan.

At the same time, through the deduction of Jinxian Daoyan, he was secretly preparing. As long as Emperor Yu and the five earthly immortals died, he would use these people recommended by the Qilin Clan in the battle with Dayu, allowing Louwailou to destroy and then rebuild.

He planned everything well, but he never expected that the Qilin tribe would turn against him at this time.

"Oh no! The treasury!"

He reacted suddenly, left the Ministry of Revenue officials behind, and hurriedly ran towards the palace's treasury.

But when he arrived at the inner treasury, the scene before him once again made him despair. The inner treasury, which was supposed to be filled with rare treasures and storage rings, was also empty.

The thing that he was most worried about happened.

Qi Haize not only emptied the treasury of Louwailou without anyone noticing, but also emptied his own private treasury.

And he didn't even hear a sound.

Liang Huayu stood between the two open doors of the inner treasury, his eyes flashing with anger. After taking several deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come here! Order Pushan Zen Temple, Canghai Temple, Xingxiang Hall, Wuji Sword Sect, Ziyang Sect, and Jingshan Sword Sect to send elders and disciples to surround the civil and military officials and the residences of the Qi, Liu, Wang, and Tang families. Without my order, no one is allowed to go!"

His angry roar instantly echoed in the empty treasury.

If the family assets of the civil and military officials and the four imperial merchants were still there, there would be hope for a turnaround.

After hearing his order, the nearby guards immediately took off into the air and flew towards the temporary bases of the four ancient sects, namely Canghai Temple, Astrology Hall, Wuji Sword Sect, and Ziyang Sect, as well as the two holy places, namely Pushan Zen Temple and Jingshan Sword Sect.

Liang Huayu did not dare to waste time. As soon as he finished giving the order, he immediately ran towards the Qianqing Palace.

This puppet body of his had no cultivation, and all the nearby guards had been sent away by him. Even though he was extremely anxious, he could only run on his own legs.

After he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately dismissed his attendants and entered the royal secret library through a secret passage on a bookshelf.

After seeing the countless storage rings placed on dozens of bookshelves, the anxious look on his face slowly dissipated.

Liang Huayu was extremely grateful at this moment because he was the only one who knew where the royal secret vault was.

He picked up a storage ring at random and used his spiritual sense to check it.

After seeing the countless fairy stones flashing with white light in the storage ring, Liang Huayu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
