After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 289 Robbery of the Treasure House
The capital of Nanyue, inside the royal palace.

The King of Nanyue, dressed in a royal robe, looked at the document in his hand with an unsightly expression. He slammed his palm heavily on the spiritual wood table in front of him, and cracks appeared instantly.

And if the desk had not been made of spiritual wood, the King of Nanyue's Xuandan realm cultivation would have been enough to reduce it to dust.

"Damn."

The King of Nanyue threw the document in his hand aside and considered the current situation.

He originally thought that after Zhou Yi's planning, he could definitely get back that section of dragon vein, but who knew that such a big change would happen.

Not only did they fail to get the dragon vein back, but they also lost the Five Elements Wanderer and tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

This was definitely a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Nanyue.

The most crucial thing is that the thief who robbed the dragon vein must have left the territory of Nanyue. Even if the grand master of the divine physiognomy was dispatched to pursue him, it would be of no avail.

Now, there is only one way.

That is to pay some price, ask Li Chengguo to take action, force Jiang Che into a desperate situation, and finally find ways to take back the dragon vein. Without the dragon vein, the destiny of Nanyue will be suppressed.

Over the past hundred years, the Nanyue Kingdom's position as the leader of the Hundred Yue has been shaky.

Even he was constrained by the country's destiny and could not make further progress.

After thinking for a moment, the King of Nanyue wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Li Chengguo. Only by joining forces could they capture Jiang Che more smoothly. Of course, he would need to pay some price for this.

"My lord, is there something wrong?"

The Queen of Nanyue, dressed in a palace dress and with a graceful figure, walked towards the King of Nanyue with a solemn expression. There was a hint of worry on her beautiful face and her voice was full of concern.

"An accident occurred in the Red Blood Secret Realm, and Zhou Yi's plan failed."

The King of Nanyue raised his head, put the documents on the desk aside, and smiled.

"The secret realm left behind by the Red Blood Demon Lord?"

The Queen of Nanyue looked solemn when she heard this.

"Yes, this time we lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Five Elements Wanderer also died in Mingyue Lake, causing heavy losses to our Nanyue. I am determined to severely punish Zhou Yi."

"It seems that this person is no small matter. How does Your Majesty intend to deal with him?"

"This is also what worries me. Mingyue Lake is located on the border of South Vietnam. If that person escapes back to the Central Plains, it will be extremely difficult to pursue him. The spiritual objects that were lost in the Baiyue land will also be difficult to find."

The King of Nanyue did not tell the whole truth. Although he and the queen treated each other with respect on weekdays, there was actually an insurmountable gap between them.

That is, the queen was not from the Yue people, but was from the royal family of the Central Plains.

She was once the legitimate princess of the Ji family and became the queen in the name of marriage. Even though the queen had a grudge against the current emperor of the Great Zhou, he still found it difficult to trust her.

They didn't even leave a child for each other.

He did not allow the bloodline of the Central Plains people to become the next generation of King of Nanyue.

"Central Plains?"

A strange look flashed across the eyes of the Queen of Nanyue, but then it disappeared without a trace, and she showed an indignant attitude instead:

"Your Majesty should write a letter to the Emperor of Great Zhou and ask him to deal with this matter. Is it possible that the Central Plains and South Vietnam, which have been at peace for decades, are going to have another dispute? I heard that the Central Plains is now facing internal and external troubles.

Perhaps we can force the Emperor of the Central Plains to issue an order to hunt down that thief from the Central Plains."

"No, this is after all a scandal for my country of Yue. Moreover, even the imperial court of the Central Plains cannot find the thief by searching for a needle in a haystack. I will handle this matter myself, and the queen does not need to worry."

The King of Nanyue raised his hand to reject the Queen's proposal.

"Alas, why can't these Central Plains warriors just keep quiet?" The Queen of Nanyue sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.

"Queen, please go back and have a rest first. I can handle this matter myself. Don't take it too seriously." The King of Nanyue consoled her with a smile.

"Then I will take my leave."

"Um"

Watching the queen leave, the King of Nanyue's brows slowly frowned and his eyes flickered.

Within the capital city.

Jiang Che and others traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived here. However, they did not take action directly. Instead, they asked the Red Blood Demon Lord to investigate the situation in the palace of the King of Nanyue.

If there really is an unrivaled strong person, they can only suppress the urge to rob him.

Because the Three Lives Golden Lotus Seeds that Jiang Che wanted were stored in the treasury of the Nanyue King's Palace.

"Jiang Che, the Blood Demon has a fickle temperament, is cruel and bloodthirsty. He can be used, but you must never trust him. Be careful of him retaliating in the future." Before the Red Blood Demon Lord returned.

The second elder Qi Tianhe warned Jiang Che earnestly.

"Don't worry, Second Elder. I understand this matter." Jiang Che nodded. He naturally understood this principle. After all, if the secret realm had not collapsed, he and the Red Blood Demon Lord would definitely have fought to the death.

But after experiencing the previous battle with the Five Elements Formation, Jiang Che's thoughts changed a lot. He could definitely use the Red Blood Demon Lord. If used well, Jiang Che would have the equivalent of having a great master by his side to protect him at all times.

It will be of great help to him in collecting sacrifices in the future.

Of course, he really didn't trust the other party. Even if the Red Blood Demon Lord was unwilling to maintain his true form, he would only let him hide on the Ten Thousand Tribulations Demon Sword instead of himself.

Moreover, he also coveted the two treasures in the other party's hand. Unfortunately, no matter how he asked, the Red Blood Demon Lord did not tell him what the other treasure that the golden real dragon transformed from was.

"How many times can you use the Divine Transformation Talisman that the Patriarch gave you?"

"It can be used once more."

Jiang Che said truthfully.

“Don’t use this last incarnation. Keep it to guard against the Blood Demon. This person is from the devil’s way, and the blood oath contract may not be able to restrain him.

You must be careful and vigilant.”

"Junior understands."

Jiang Che nodded heavily.

After saying this, the two changed the topic. After all, walls have ears, and even if they transmitted sound, they might not be able to prevent the Red Blood Demon Lord from hearing it, so they started talking about the Nanyue Palace.

About half an hour later.

The Scarlet Blood Demon Lord finally returned to the place where the three of them had gathered, and sighed with a rather solemn look:

"These barbarians are too alert now. If it weren't for my extraordinary method of concealing my breath, they might have been discovered."

"Why, is it very difficult?"

Qi Tianhe frowned slightly.

Jiang Che also turned his gaze to the Red Blood Demon Lord.

The Red Blood Demon Lord nodded first, then shook his head:
"It's really difficult, but it's not without chance. I left a lot of tricks back then. It's not a problem to take a few spiritual objects, but if you want to catch them all, I'm afraid it's impossible."

He looked a little regretful.

After all, this time he placed a lot of hope on the Baiyue countries. If he could plunder them, there would be no problem for him to restore his heyday.

"It's enough to get a part of it. I think it's because you were too cruel back then, senior. People from the Baiyue countries are on guard and afraid that someone will come again." Jiang Che smiled. He could understand what those people were thinking.

Suffering a loss once is enough to remember it.

"How many Grandmasters are there in the city?"

Qi Tianhe continued to ask.

“There are three of them in total. One is stationed in the outer city, and his aura is no weaker than yours. Another is stationed in the palace, and he is probably a peak divine being. His aura makes me feel very pressured.

There is another one sitting in the northwest treasury of the palace, guarding the treasury. It seems that he is no weaker than you and me, and may even be a level stronger."

The Red Blood Demon Lord recounted all the situations he had discovered.

As for Grandmaster Xuandan, they did not take him seriously. There were indeed a few imperial guards guarding the capital. If they formed a battle formation, it would be no problem for them to rival Grandmaster Shenxiang.

But the problem is that they have difficulty maneuvering quickly and there is basically no threat to them.

"Then according to the seniors, what are the chances of success?"

Jiang Che suddenly asked.

"As long as we are not greedy, we can probably get away with it. With Qi Tianhe and my abilities, as long as we leave the capital of Nanyue, these guys will definitely not be able to find us.

Besides, they may not dare to leave. After all, this is the capital. If we lure the tiger away from the mountain, the King of Nanyue may die here." The Red Blood Demon Lord laughed strangely.

"Eighty percent sure. We can give it a try. What do you think, Second Elder?"

"Then give it a try."

Qi Tianhe nodded. He was still very confident in himself. It was no problem for him to leave if he couldn't win. They had all practiced for hundreds of years. Who didn't have a few trump cards?
Soon, several people reached a consensus and prepared to take action. The Red Blood Demon Lord turned into a ray of blood light and hid on Jiang Che's body, emitting aura to block other people's detection.

Qi Tianhe also seemed to activate something similar to the God-hiding Talisman, and his aura became looming.

When it got dark, several people set off.

Silently disappearing into the darkness, they headed towards the direction of the Nanyue Palace. Jiang Che and Qi Tianhe each killed a commander who was guarding the Nanyue imperial city, and used this identity.

And the tokens on them.

He successfully avoided some formations and restrictions within the imperial city and sneaked into the inner city.

Soon, under the guidance of the Red Blood Demon Lord, the group finally arrived near the treasure house. During the process, no one noticed anything unusual. After all, this was the royal city.

It is guarded by strong men and covered by formations.

Unless one is extremely daring, no one would dare to covet the things in the treasure house. It was because the Red Blood Demon Lord was lawless and Jiang Che needed a sacrifice that they dared to do so.

The Nanyue treasure house is not on the ground, but in a secret room underground, blocked from exploration by a stone door filled with forbidden formations. Of course, there are also Nanyue soldiers patrolling around constantly.

But they were not at all alert about the few people hiding in the darkness.

Found an opportunity.

Jiang Che and Qi Tianhe avoided detection and quickly came to the stone gate. The Red Blood Demon Lord also took out a blood-colored talisman that he had prepared long ago. It was a powerful weapon for the Red Blood Demon Lord to plunder the treasure houses of various countries.

It's called the Blood Forbidden Talisman.

As long as you observe the restriction for a moment in advance, you can make adjustments and suppress the restriction for a moment. Although it cannot be broken, it can silently make the restriction formation ineffective, which is also very useful.

Enough to loot the treasury.

“These barbarians are indeed much more alert and have taken many countermeasures. Back then, my blood-forbidden spirit talisman was no problem in suppressing them for a quarter of an hour.

But now it’s only a hundred breaths of time at most, what a pity, what a pity.”

The Red Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but sigh in Jiang Che's ear.

"Okay, let's go in first."

Jiang Che slowly pushed the stone door open a crack, turned into a residual shadow and escaped into the treasure house. Qi Tianhe did not doubt him and followed him in, but after entering.

The faces of several people became even uglier.

Because there are separate restrictions inside!

Each spiritual object is stored separately in a stone chamber with its own restrictions. Although you can see what is inside, it is difficult to get it.

"These barbarians are really damnable. They actually set up so many restrictions!"

The Red Blood Demon Lord's tone was very dissatisfied.

against!

This is definitely targeted.

Back then, when he broke into the treasury, there were not so many fancy things, and he easily stole many spiritual objects.

"Don't waste time, Senior Chixue, where is your Blood Forbidden Talisman? Break them quickly." Jiang Che's attention was attracted by a golden lotus, or to be exact, the lotus seeds on the lotus.

That was the sacrifice he had always dreamed of.

Three lives of golden lotus seeds!
When the Red Blood Demon Lord broke into the Palace of the King of Nanyue, he had also seen this thing, but it was of no use to him at the time, so he took other useful things.

"Boy, you don't think the Blood Forbidden Spirit Talisman is something that is everywhere, do you? That thing requires a lot of blood essence and my own blood essence to refine, and I don't have that much blood essence right now."

The Red Blood Demon Lord snorted.

"Since there is no other way, let's not waste time. While the Blood Confinement Talisman has not yet expired, let's forcibly break the restriction together. Take as much as you can and leave as soon as possible."

Qi Tianhe said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Jiang Che also nodded. After all, now was not the time to reminisce about the past. They only had a hundred breaths of time in total, and they also had to guard against being discovered by the strong men of the Nanyue Kingdom.

We must act quickly.

In an instant, Jiang Che, Red Blood Demon Lord, and Qi Tianhe all took action, each of them forcibly broke the ban and took what they needed from the stone chamber.

The moment the three men took action to break the ban, roars sounded, and the warning formations were also affected, instantly alarming the strong man who was stationed there.

"How dare you, you thief, to steal the treasures from the treasury!"

A loud shout echoed through the void.

However, even though they were discovered, several people were not satisfied. After all, there had been some movement, and they had made the trip with great difficulty, so naturally they would take as much as they could and eat first.

After breaking the first restriction, the three continued to take action, even ignoring the movements of the outside world, and took action again and again, opening one stone door after another and snatching away one spiritual object after another.

From here, we can also see the gap between Jiang Che and Qi Tianhe and others.

Jiang Che had just taken two spiritual objects and broke two restrictions, but on the other side, Qi Tianhe and Red Blood Demon Lord had already taken no less than five spiritual objects and put them into the storage space.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

Suddenly, the Red Blood Demon Lord let out a low roar and instantly poured into Jiang Che's body, merging into one with him. His aura quickly reached the level of a god.
