Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 693 Jigsaw Puzzle
"Meow, where's the stuff?"

Li Xuan searched through his Dihong bone ring, but still couldn't find what he was looking for.

Now, with his strength, the Emperor Hong Bone Ring has opened up many new spaces, which are much larger than before.

Li Xuan usually likes to put all kinds of sundries in it, so now he is like a headless fly when looking for things.

Only at this time did Li Xuan remember the benefits of organizing things regularly, but it was too late to say anything now.

"hateful!"

Li Xuan said bitterly, but he could only look at the terrain in front of him and compare it with his memory.

"It seems to be here. It would be nice if I could compare it now."

He was on the mountain, overlooking the terrain where the Meteorite Crater was located, and his guess became more and more confirmed.

"Let's go back first. The thing should be with Emperor Yongyuan or Zhao Feng."

Li Xuan made up his mind, turned around and entered the trap in the mountains again. After experiencing some discomfort again, he walked out.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had forced his way out of the formation when he broke in.

If he tried to destroy the formation, the formation master would probably notice it immediately.

These people have an observation house in the mountains and can respond immediately to alerts around Meteor Crater.

Especially when there was a problem inside the Meteorite Dragon Crater, the reaction was so quick that Li Xuan was trapped inside, leaving him no chance to escape.

Fortunately, it was him who came, otherwise, if it was someone else, it would be difficult to get away with it.

Li Xuan just said in his heart that he was a little stone, but he was not just saying it for fun.

The way he now merges his own aura into the heaven and earth has almost no flaws.

But there is one thing: he is a living being after all, not a real dead object.

Li Xuan's current cultivation level can naturally stop the so-called heartbeat and blood, making him look like a real dead object.

But living things naturally carry a breath of life, and can be easily discovered when a second-grade strong man uses the Dao realm to scan them.

Li Xuan just hypnotized himself, intending to deceive himself first so that he could deceive the enemy.

Even though he didn't reveal any flaws from the beginning to the end, the situation was indeed dangerous.

Honestly speaking, the Dao realm of that second-rank master is not bad, and Li Xuan can definitely escape if he risks his life.

It was the formation master who made Li Xuan feel really difficult.

Li Xuan did not have absolute confidence in dealing with the unknown methods of the battle mage.

What's more, this place is the enemy's base camp, and it is unknown how many formations have been set up in advance as a last resort.

"I wonder how many people are left in the observation room on the mountain?"

"King Zheng has too many experts under his command."

Li Xuan frowned tightly, and finally walked out of the trap.

When the discomfort of being trapped in the array gradually subsided, he immediately ran towards Guanglin Prefecture.

It seemed that he had not been delayed too long in the Meteorite Crater, but the sky was already turning pale.

"Am I too nervous?"

“It didn’t feel like I was in there for very long.”

Although Li Xuan muttered this in his heart, he also remembered how suspicious he was after entering the Meteorite Dragon Crater, and he felt that it was reasonable.

"Although I don't know what's hidden in the Meteorite Crater, it's best to avoid this place if possible."

"I heard from them before that there seems to be something sealed under the formation, and it is almost impossible to seal it."

"King Zheng seems to be waiting for the right time to unlock the seal, and soon..."

Li Xuan recalled the haste of Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour.

He had previously asked Emperor Yongyuan why he was so anxious to go on a southern tour.

Logically speaking, time is on their side.

Not to mention Li Xuan, the man of destiny, there is also Princess Yan Zhao, the evil cultivator.

As long as they are given enough time, King Zheng will not be able to cause any trouble.

Moreover, the war between Daxing and Damao had already begun, and the situation in the court was gradually tilting towards Emperor Yongyuan and the nobles.

However, despite such a favorable situation, Emperor Yongyuan was forced to start his southern tour ahead of schedule.

Emperor Yongyuan just said that they were running out of time.

Li Xuan originally thought it referred to the country and society that was gradually collapsing.

But now it seems that Emperor Yongyuan may also know something about what is sealed under the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

The most important thing is, if Li Xuan's memory is correct, he has seen the topographic map of the Meteorite Crater not for the first time tonight, but he has seen it once in the capital.

"That half of the treasure map!"

Previously, a caravan of Ping An Trading Company was robbed at Shizipo, not far from the capital.

In the robbed caravan was the rare treasure with balanced yin and yang properties that Li Xuan urgently needed at that time, the Ziwu Twin Lotus.

Li Xuan followed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate the matter and found that there was something fishy about the robbers who hijacked the caravan.

Finally they recovered the robbed goods. At that time, Li Xuan was only concerned about the Ziwu Twin Lotus and did not pay much attention to the other goods.

But later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered that the robbery was suspicious and carefully searched the recovered goods, among which they found a strange painting.

When the painting is baked, red lines will appear.

The two stewards asserted that it was a treasure map.

But the place in this painting is too ordinary, and there are no notable landmarks. There are probably only hundreds or thousands of similar mountains.

At that time, the two stewards judged that this was only half of the treasure map, and there must be another half that could reveal the location of the treasure.

What they have in their hands is the detailed route to the treasure location, and the other half is the revelation of the treasure location.

Later, they deliberately leaked the news of the treasure map, and as a result they actually caught a Hu merchant named Hadir.

After they caught Halder, they followed the clues and found out that it was the Money Gang that hired Halder.

It has now been found out who hired the Jinqian Gang. It was King Zheng who was about to take over the Jinqian Gang at that time.

Therefore, there is a high probability that King Zheng has half of the treasure map in his hand.

But now it seems that he has found the Meteorite Dragon Crater through the treasure map.

But Li Xuan still didn't know what was underneath.

But what was somewhat different from his memory was that the half of the treasure map he had seen before clearly showed a mountain surrounded by mountains, with a red line baked by fire as a guide.

As for the Meteorite Crater, except for the surrounding mountains, the mountain in the middle has turned into a deep pit.

Therefore, Li Xuan felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't confirm it immediately.

"We have to go back and ask clearly!"

Li Xuan chased the first ray of sunshine in the early morning and returned to Guanglin Prefecture.

He went straight to Emperor Yongyuan's room and found that Emperor Yongyuan had not rested yet.

When Li Xuan came in through the window, he bumped into Wang Xi's arms.

"Axuan, you are back."

"Your Majesty has been worried about you."

Wang Xi said with a smile.

This powerful man in the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm did not have the slightest airs. He always had a kind smile on his face, and his short and sturdy figure did not look threatening at all.

Who would have thought that this was one of the world's top strong men.

Wang Xi carried Li Xuan to the desk of Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan was working at his desk reviewing some written reports.

These documents and reports were stacked up in several piles, and it was unknown how long it would take Emperor Yongyuan to read them all.

It seemed that Emperor Yongyuan also worked all night without any rest.

When Emperor Yongyuan saw Li Xuan coming back, he raised his bloodshot eyes and looked over.

"Xuan, thank you for your hard work."

Emperor Yongyuan said this while combing Li Xuan's hair.

He ran all the way, with his hair hanging down behind him, looking a little funny. Li Xuan didn't care about anything else and quickly sent a voice message to ask:

"Where is the half of the treasure map?"

Emperor Yongyuan frowned slightly and glanced at Wang Xi first.

Wang Xi immediately understood and blocked himself off from outside prying eyes.

After that, Emperor Yongyuan took out a piece of white paper and wrote:

"What treasure map?"

"It's the half that was found during the previous robbery of Ping An Commercial Bank."

"If you use fire to bake a painting, red lines will appear."

Seeing that Emperor Yongyuan seemed to have forgotten about this matter, Li Xuan hurriedly reminded him.

After Li Xuan's reminder, Emperor Yongyuan seemed to remember this incident.

He asked Wang Xi to send someone immediately to notify the two general managers to come over.

After a while, the figures of the monk manager Zhao Feng appeared in the room.

Emperor Yongyuan summoned them so early in the morning, there must be something important.

Moreover, as soon as they came in, they saw that Li Xuan had returned, which further confirmed their guess.

After Emperor Yongyuan summoned the two general managers, he immediately asked them about the half treasure map.

The two stewards did not forget this incident and kept it in mind.

After all, Haldir is still imprisoned in the hidden dungeon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Chief Steward Shang had been carrying that half of the treasure map with him all along. He immediately took it out and presented it to Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan opened it directly on the desk and showed it to Li Xuan.

"It has to be roasted over a fire."

Li Xuan quickly reminded.

Seeing this, Zhao Feng immediately held up the painting, and Shang Zongguan took out a fire starter to bake the painting.

None of them asked any further questions, knowing that Li Xuan must have his own reasons for suddenly mentioning this painting.

After a while, the red line above appeared again.

The red circle marked the mountains in the painting as belonging to the range of the treasure map, and also pointed out a specific location in the circle.

Although this painting is not large, it contains a lot of content. It is a landscape painting that is densely packed with information.

Li Xuan raised a cat's paw to cover the middle peak, and then carefully observed the surrounding mountains.

Before leaving last night, he deliberately looked back at the terrain around Meteorite Crater for a long time, and it is still vivid in his mind.

After comparing every detail, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly widened.

His sense of familiarity was indeed correct.

The mountains surrounding Meteorite Crater are exactly the same as the location marked on this treasure map.

Except for the missing highest mountain in the middle, they are exactly the same.

Li Xuan knew that everyone must be waiting anxiously and were curious about the results of his investigation last night, so he immediately described what happened last night in detail without missing any details.

As Li Xuan continued his description, the expressions of everyone present became increasingly solemn, even Emperor Yongyuan was no exception.

Emperor Yongyuan compared the treasure map with the topographic map drawn by Liang Zhao and found that they matched.

After confirming this fact, Emperor Yongyuan immediately waved to the two general managers and wrote on the paper:
"Report everything you have found about this treasure map."

The two stewards immediately looked embarrassed.

In the end, Zhao Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the whole story in detail, but the result of the investigation was that King Zheng was most likely holding the other half.

No one knows where this treasure map came from or how it ended up in the hands of the caravan.

After all, all the people in the caravan were killed.

After Zhao Feng reported all the information about the treasure map, he knelt down and apologized.

Manager Shang also knelt down silently.

This brief information made Emperor Yongyuan feel a headache, but he still raised his hand and asked the two stewards to stand up.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in assigning any responsibility.

And who would have thought that such a big secret was hidden in this inconspicuous half of the treasure map.

The two stewards did not dare to stand up. They kowtowed heavily, blaming themselves in their hearts.

Wang Xi, who was standing by, looked at Emperor Yongyuan and immediately stepped forward to help the two of them up.

Emperor Yongyuan pondered for a moment before picking up his pen and writing on the paper:
"For now, no matter what King Zheng wants to do, we must stop him!"

What Emperor Yongyuan wrote made Li Xuan's heart skip a beat.

"You don't know what's under the Meteor Crater?"

Emperor Yongyuan shook his head slowly.

Li Xuan was stunned. He thought Emperor Yongyuan would know something.

Emperor Yongyuan saw his surprise, thought for a moment, and finally raised a finger and pressed it on Li Xuan's forehead.

"Axuan."

Li Xuan's eyes widened, and the voice of Emperor Yongyuan actually rang directly in his mind.

This was not a telepathic transmission, but it was like his induction, and the content appeared directly in Li Xuan's mind.

Seeing Li Xuan's little expression, Emperor Yongyuan, who had originally had a solemn expression, couldn't help but smile.

"Ah Xuan, is it magical?"

"This is the power I possess."

Li Xuan had always guessed that Emperor Yongyuan possessed an extraordinary level of cultivation.

But he never expected that Emperor Yongyuan would show him his unique skills right from the start.

"What's the point of this?"

Even if Li Xuan used Yin-Yang Qi to analyze it, he couldn't understand how Emperor Yongyuan transmitted the sound directly into his mind.

"Ah Xuan, this power is derived from the Yin and Yang Qi, and comes from the inheritance left by the Twin Saints. Only the emperors of Daxing in all generations can control it."

When Li Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had previously considered Emperor Yongyuan as a fighting force, but he was definitely an insignificant one.

But as Emperor Yongyuan said this, his figure immediately became taller in Li Xuan's eyes.

"But……"

(^ェ^)

Li Xuan knew that Emperor Yongyuan was hesitant and that there would definitely be a transitional sentence afterwards.

Li Xuan, who was not happy for even a minute, waited for what would happen next.

"But my power is extremely dependent on the Daxing Dynasty."

"As the dynasty grows stronger, so will I become stronger."

"When the dynasty is weak, I am weak."

Li Xuan immediately frowned and asked Emperor Yongyuan: "Did Prince Zheng deliberately destroy the country in order to reduce your power?"

Emperor Yongyuan nodded: "There must be this consideration."

“But there may be other secrets.”

"The late emperor's death was extremely sudden, there must be something fishy going on."

"But King Zheng did not succeed to the throne at that time, but instead helped me to the throne."

"At that time, if King Zheng wanted, the throne would be within his grasp."

"The key to this may have something to do with what's under the Meteor Crater."

Li Xuan looked at Emperor Yongyuan in horror, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"King Zheng has already obtained that half of the treasure map!?"
