Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Lin Mu took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and his gaze swept over the dazzling array of treasures.

Then, he turned his gaze to the high seat where the hundred-foot jade steps wound upwards.

There stood a golden coffin, and around it, countless crimson dragon chapters piled up like small mountains.

"My lord!" At this moment, Huang Zhong suppressed his shock and whispered a reminder to his lord, Lin Mu.

Lin Mu gently closed his eyes, his mind racing with calculations. Then, without speaking, he waved his hand, and countless soldiers appeared.

"Begin!" Lin Mu shouted without saying anything else.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and the others all sprang into action with expressions of intense excitement.

Lin Mu did not summon hundreds of thousands of troops because the supplies here were not plentiful. He only summoned 100,000 soldiers, who then moved out under the instructions of Wu Ba and others.

Don't be fooled by the simple layout here; upon closer inspection, you'll find that the floor of the main hall is engraved with many patterns, all emitting a faint black fluorescence.

Liu Hong didn't just randomly pile up precious resources in this main tomb palace; the existence of those resources has a certain significance!
Although Lin Mu, Wu Ba, and the others couldn't see it, it was definitely related to the fortune of the Liu clan... and the fortune of the Han Dynasty!
After summoning the treasures, Lin Mu looked at the heavy workload and took a deep breath. He knew that by taking the resources from the tomb, he would bear a heavy responsibility.

“Let’s go help too!” Lin Mu said to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue looked at the coffin, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and nodded...

"Boom!~~~~" At this moment, a series of booming sounds came from all directions. A sense of urgency lingered in everyone's hearts.

After that, soldiers kept bringing him military packs, Five-Patterned Universe Bracelets, and Ethereal Bracelets, among other things. He put them all into the Liangzhou Cauldron.

Huang Zhong carefully collected all the unusual ancient swords. However, due to time constraints, Lin Mu and the others did not check their attributes.

Soon, all the ores and timber were collected. The Buddhist artifacts were also collected separately and placed inside a five-patterned Qiankun bracelet.

"My lord, these spiritual waters..." Huang Zhong returned to Lin Mu's side after collecting all the Crimson Dragon Chapters, pointing to the eighteen pools of spiritual water of different colors, his voice filled with excitement. He could clearly feel that each pool of spiritual water exuded extremely pure energy, which was an incredible opportunity for the soldiers.

Lin Mu nodded and walked towards the nearest pool of emerald green spiritual water. He squatted down, dipped his finger in it, and gently sniffed it. A fresh scent of grass and trees filled his nostrils, instantly invigorating him, and the Yuan energy within his body began to flow joyfully.

"These are all good stuff, take them!"

At a command, the soldiers squatted by the pool and began to scoop up the liquid with utensils, carefully collecting it.

"My lord, that coffin..." Taishi Ci asked meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu was startled and immediately shook his head, saying, "Don't move!"

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Wang Yue's eyes again.

The others nodded silently. In fact, everyone knew that the most precious treasures were hidden inside the coffin, and leaving them there would be a waste.

For the Great Wilderness Territory, which is currently in the process of being established, its role is definitely not small, but if the lord says it cannot be touched, then it cannot be touched.

That was also the last vestige of an emperor's dignity!

"Shuheng, do you think the late emperor's remains are really inside?" Lin Mu suddenly turned to Wang Yue and asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue was slightly taken aback. After realizing what he meant, he said uncertainly, "He shouldn't be here..."

However, Lin Mu shook his head and said with certainty, "Yes!"

Then, Lin Mu thought to himself, "Not only that, this guy has also set up some terrifying methods..."

Why was Lin Mu able to sense the terrifying methods hidden within? It wasn't because he sensed them himself, but through Taishi Ci. When Taishi Ci questioned him, a dangerous omen appeared on Taishi Ci's body—a crisis that would lead to his complete demise!
That's why he trembled and refused to open the coffin.

The reason Liu Hong set it up this way is definitely because he didn't want anyone to disturb him!
He collected all the precious resources here, wasn't that giving Liu's descendants a chance? ... However, if Liu's descendants even disturb his coffin, he will show no mercy. What does it matter if they are unfilial descendants and he shows no compassion?!
"My lord, all the materials laid on the ground have been collected," a tomb raider hurriedly reported.

The Great Wilderness Territory collects even the stone resources used for paving the ground, so how could it easily let go of the astonishing treasure inside the coffin... It's just that it can't be taken!

"My lord, those dragon pillars are difficult to dismantle. If we dismantle them, they risk collapsing," Wu Ba reported as he came over.

"Alright, we've basically collected everything, so let's not take any more risks. You all go in first; what follows is beyond your control."

After thoroughly looting the resources of the Epang Palace, a huge weight was lifted from Lin Mu's heart.

This resource has added another layer of depth to the Great Wilderness Territory!
"It's a pity... there are no protective or offensive tools..." Lin Mu sighed inwardly.

After quite some time, the main hall became empty.

In the ensuing battle, Lin Mu didn't even bring Wang Yue along, letting him enter the Liangzhou Cauldron.

Currently, the Liangzhou Cauldron is more suitable for people to stay in than the Ziyan Cave Heaven Ring...

"My lord, are we just going to rely on the three of us?" As everyone left, Taishi Ci saw the growing seriousness on his lord Lin Mu's face and gave a bitter smile.

For some reason, a sense of life-or-death crisis welled up in his chest.

“Even you guys sensed the crisis, so what can they do?” Lin Mu shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci nodded...

He had a premonition that the battle to come would be the most difficult of his life!

Huang Zhong, standing beside him, also wore a solemn expression.

"Wait... something's not right, my lord, which way do we go?" Taishi Ci suddenly realized that he didn't know how to get to Nangong's dragon vein.

"There will be teleportation..." Lin Mu sighed softly.

Just as he finished collecting all the resources, a system notification rang in his ears:

"--bite!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have collected resources from the Karma Array, and you will be forced to accept the epic-level quest [The Peril of the Mergerer]!"
The specific task information is as follows:
Task Name: [The Peril of the Merger Master]

Quest Level: Epic
Mission Requirements: A theft of the very essence of heaven and earth is taking place within a special space. Please drive away or kill the one who is fusing the meridians.

Task Reward: Dragon Luck, the exact amount depends on the situation;
Task Penalty: If the amount of primal power stolen by the Meridian Fuder reaches a certain threshold, your Dragon Luck will be reduced by the corresponding amount.

Another mandatory task!

In fact, Dong Zhuo's relocation of the dragon veins was not a big deal as long as he could withstand the karmic force of heaven and earth. It had little impact on the Central Plains, since it was still within the Central Plains, just in a different location.

If it were people from Heaven who came to steal the Dragon Vein of an ancestor, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others would not have retreated at all, and even Heaven itself would not have allowed them to retreat!
So the system hadn't issued any missions before... but now those Merger Masters are secretly sabotaging us, even keeping it from the people in Dong Zhuo's camp, causing internal strife, hence this mission.

If the Mergers hadn't secretly sabotaged things, perhaps this karmic mission would have turned into fighting against Dong Zhuo's camp, protecting the dragon vein of Luoyang, and preventing it from migrating.

In other words, Lin Mu and Dong Zhuo have now become teammates on the mission!

"The official duel has finally begun!" (End of Chapter)
