Chapter 3355 Treasure Place

Wei Qing, who was in the Realm of Self-Mastery, possessed formidable swordsmanship.

The top-tier swordsmanship of the strategists is almost unmatched.

If not compared to the Lord of the Holy Land, Wei Qing would be virtually invincible among ordinary cultivators.

Yu Dan is older and has a longer cultivation period than Wei Qing. She also has the advantage of the spiritual environment of her ancestral land. However, Yu Dan has difficulty reaching the top level in cultivating demonic power. Even though she was once a genius, she has gone in the wrong direction. The older she gets, the less advantage she has.

Among the high-ranking cultivators of the Great Han Dynasty, Zhang Xuezhou entered the Divine Power Realm at a young age, the new emperor entered the Divine Power Realm at an even younger age, and Wei Qing entered it slightly later. However, when they entered the Sovereign Realm, Wei Qing became the leader and was even the first to use the terrain to promote the Sword-Guiding Technique.

It's no wonder that Yu Dan was defeated by Wei Qing in several rounds.

After being repeatedly struck by Wei Qing, Yu Dan began to recount the situation of Longcheng, the ancestral homeland.

The ancestral land of Dragon City is not a place with special spiritual energy, nor does it produce any special natural treasures, but it is the treasure trove of the Great Chanyu of the Fiend Kingdom.

The Xiong Kingdom is a nomadic country without fixed cities for settlement and development. The items that can be held in things like carriages and bags are ultimately limited, so the Xiong Kingdom's wealth and resources need to be stored in secret places.

The ancestral land became a place where such resources converged.

Each secret realm belongs to a small world, and its interaction and convergence with the larger world are subject to time limitations.

Once the secret realm is activated, no one else can enter it, thus ensuring the safety of your wealth.

Whenever the secret realm comes into contact with the greater world, the evil nation will protect the secret realm by stationing troops or by gathering them under the guise of sacrifice.

"Looks like the timing is really coincidental!"

The ancestral land of Dragon City cannot be simply brought to life by pulling and stretching formations. Rather, it is nearing its return date. The Corpse-Chasing Bone Marquis Nidulu is outside performing sacrificial rites to welcome the victorious army of the Fiend Kingdom, who will soon return in triumph with their spoils of war.

The new emperor gritted his teeth and made a low sound.

The information obtained on the ground differed somewhat from that provided by the Empress Dowager, but the results were the same.

This palace was filled with the treasures of the Xiong Kingdom's royal family, including blood essence, demon cores, magical artifacts, herbs, gold and silver treasures, as well as the Xiong Kingdom's sages, who were similar to the doctors who taught at the Imperial Academy of the Han Dynasty.

The students taught by the sage are all young elites from the royal family and various tribes, and they are also the core team that Yu Dan has in the country.

This is almost similar to the situation where the new emperor recruited young close advisors, but now they have all been wiped out.

When the new emperor glanced at Yu Dan, he could still see a hint of bitterness hidden beneath her apologetic smile.

Faced with this situation, no one could laugh, but Yu Dan had to admit defeat and try to survive.

Yu Dan was all too aware of the offensive launched by the Xiong Kingdom against the Han Kingdom; the Xiong Kingdom's royal family could not withstand the decrees of the three holy lands.

The most serious edicts are those issued without prior notification. In the past, when Zhu Jiuyin issued execution orders, the people would fight amongst themselves and that would be the end of it. But in the current situation, it means a life-or-death struggle until the goal is achieved.

Yu Dan doesn't know how many people died in the war, but given the current attitude of the Han people who don't want prisoners, the casualty rate should be very high.

"Gentlemen, our Great Chanyu does not want war," Yu Dan said through gritted teeth. "We are forced into this situation, otherwise the royal family would have replaced him with someone else to obey the imperial edict!"

"Stop with the nonsense, lead the way!"

Yu Dan's gaze swept toward the new emperor.

Yu Dan has a keen eye; she can distinguish the social status of many people.

The young general who punched him again was quite powerful; his seemingly rude behavior was actually an interrogation based on the new emperor's words and actions.

The new emperor was not wearing armor. Although he was not the only one not wearing armor, Yu Dan could tell that the other two were whispering and investigating, and their behavior did not seem like that of the leader.

The other party might be a marquis of the Han Dynasty, a prince, or even the emperor of the Han Dynasty himself.

Yu Dan found it difficult to accurately guess the new emperor's identity, but he knew very well that his survival depended on the other party's will.

The ancestral land of Longcheng was surrounded by layers upon layers of Han people. With the strength of their bows and arrows, he couldn't fly away even if he had wings, not to mention Wei Qing beside him with a fierce and menacing look on his face.

"Please, everyone, take whatever you wish!"

Yu Dan was pushed and shoved by Wei Qing several times, and had no choice but to lead the way and give instructions.

This instruction wasn't anything special; after all, even without his order, these people could search and quickly find out the relevant information. "Where is the Two Dragons Formation set up?"

When the two civil officials who had been whispering earlier finally spoke up and asked their questions, Yu Dan's heart tightened suddenly.

"I don't understand formations... Ah~"

In a brief reply, Yu Dan had already taken a punch to the stomach.

"I really don't know," Yu Dan said painfully. "This is the territory of the Great Chanyu. He wouldn't have told any other secrets before he died!"

"That's a bit troublesome!"

"I hate these guys who hide their treasures too well!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu both spoke up.

The treasures in the ancestral palace of Dragon City are quite good, but these are just items on display. Being able to see them means they are ordinary. Even if there is a chance to find something worthwhile, they are not as good as carefully selected and hidden items.

Zhang Xuezhou and his group clearly intended to take everything with them.

At their level of cultivation, ordinary things are hardly worth their attention, and even demon cores that can be used to refine creation pills are only glanced at.

To be a treasure trove for an emperor, the ancestral land of Longcheng must have more than what is publicly displayed.

Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Yu Dan, Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu split up to search and investigate.

Screams from men and women, along with sounds of resistance and pleas for mercy, could be heard intermittently in the palace, but eventually the noise subsided.

Rows of prisoners were bound at the waist and then arranged to move the palace treasures.

Boxes and bags of treasures were continuously being transported from this secret place to the outside. The new emperor held his sword and looked around, occasionally glancing at the backs of Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu.

Without skilled cultivators, many hidden details would indeed be difficult to find, and these hidden items would certainly be among the most precious.

The new emperor was furious, but he had calmed down considerably at the moment.

No matter how many defeats Li Guang suffered, Wei Qing at least achieved some results along his route.

Although he didn't turn a funeral into a celebration, he ultimately didn't suffer a complete defeat.

As his anger subsided, he was able to rationally consider everything that was to come.

"Wei Qing, how did you find this place?"

"The sick child drew a few lines on the map of Pilan and said that this is how to read the map. I didn't take it seriously at the time. Later, I was led by the small army of the Xiong Kingdom for more than 20 days before I decided to risk trying the route the sick child took. Mr. Dong also gave us a lot of guidance, which saved us a lot of detours and finally allowed us to find this place!"

"Can a sick child understand the map of Pilan?"

"He didn't quite understand it either, saying the drawing was too messy and chaotic, lacking any normal quality. Longcheng is the only place the sick child marked!"

"This sick child is truly a prodigy!"

Even the new emperor couldn't help but sigh.

Although Zhang Xuezhou also managed to locate this place using the Sky Shuttle, without Wei Qing's army, it would be very difficult to break into the Dragon City ancestral land, not to mention the possibility of leaking information after the Xiong Kingdom people escaped.

Even though they defeated the Xiong Kingdom people and opened up the ancestral land of Dragon City, they were powerless to stop the items here.

Perhaps setting fire to this secret location was the only option they could take.

The new emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and quickly summoned Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu.

"ignition?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu, who were secretly searching for each other, exchanged glances.

His and Dong Zhongshu's thinking became increasingly complex, hoping to find clues to the core treasure within this palace.

However, the new emperor's thinking tended to be simple: once everything was burned, there was a high probability that the hidden place would be revealed directly.
