Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems I'll have to make another trip to the Eastern Prince's residence."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang said, "I'll go with you!"

Chen Jie said, "No need. This trip is to be carried out in secret. Having too many people would be inconvenient."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang said, "Then, be careful yourself."

Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm not discovered by the Eastern King, I'm safe."

Li Fang said, "That's not difficult. I'll have the Grand Elder invite the Eastern King for drinks tonight. You can take the opportunity to sneak into his little garden and find the Phoenix Seal."

Chen Jie said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li."

Li Fang said, "It's all for Hengqing's sake. It's nothing, it's all my duty."

Seeing Li Fang like this, Chen Jie couldn't help but say that this sycophant was really useful. Everyone hates sycophants, and Chen Jie actually hated them too, but when the sycophant was fawning over his side, it felt inexplicably satisfying.

This is equivalent to directly obtaining a 100% hardworking and dedicated laborer, without receiving wages or encouragement. It's incredibly satisfying. Chen Jie admits that he likes sycophants.

Li Fang went back to inform the Grand Elder, who didn't have much to say. He was determined to complete the task assigned by his young master.

So he invited the Eastern King to drink with him that night. The Eastern King replied that he could not let the Grand Elder host the banquet, and that he would hold a banquet at the Eastern King's Mansion that night to entertain the Grand Elder.

When the news reached Li Fang, he excitedly said, "It's done, Brother Chen, you really don't need me to keep you company tonight?"

Chen Jie said, "No need."

Li Fang said, "Alright, I'll go find the Grand Elder to get you a suitable set of guard clothes. We'll sneak into the Eastern Prince's Mansion tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie shook his head and said, "No, Dongwang Prefecture is a den of dragons and tigers. We cannot do this. If I wear the guard uniform, the matter will be exposed and you will be implicated."

Li Fang said, "I'm not afraid of being implicated. At worst, I'll fight them to the death."

Chen Jie shook his head and said, "A direct confrontation is not the solution. Besides, infiltrating the Eastern Prince's mansion is not difficult for me. The difficulty lies in not being easily discovered."

"Moreover, you and the Grand Elder are a secret weapon. With you two here, I still have room to maneuver. If something happens to you, I will be left all alone."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang asked, "Then how do you plan to enter the Eastern Prince's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "That's simple. On a dark and windy night, thieves can easily break into a house."

Li Fang looked at Chen Jie and said, "That's one way too."

After saying this, Chen Jie said, "We should not delay. Let's all make preparations. Tonight is especially crucial."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, I will do whatever you say."

Once the plan was set, time flew by. As dusk approached, the Grand Elder led the Jiuli tribesmen to the Eastern King's Mansion for a banquet.

Meanwhile, inside the Eastern King's residence, the Eastern King instructed his men: "You all keep a close watch on the Jiuli tribe. Even when they go to the toilet, you must keep an eye on them. Don't let any of them out of our sight, understand?"

"understand!"

The Eastern King has set a rule for his subordinates to strictly guard the Jiuli tribe guards who have come to the banquet. The behavior of the Grand Elder is somewhat puzzling. Why would he invite me to drink for no reason? It's hard not to be suspicious.

Although he didn't know what the Grand Elder was planning, it was always better to be cautious. Therefore, he decided to keep an eye on every Jiuli tribesman who entered the Eastern King's Mansion today. He could know immediately if anyone made any move, so that he could rest easy.

The Eastern King is quite intelligent and clearly noticed the problem. The Grand Elder's sudden invitation to drinks seemed so strange. Could there be a trap involved?

Therefore, he attached great importance to this and decided that not only would he personally keep an eye on the Grand Elder, but all his soldiers would also be sent out to keep an eye on the Grand Elder and his entourage. He would not allow the Grand Elder and his entourage to cause any trouble. After all, the inauguration ceremony for the Immortal Venerable's treatment would begin in less than two days. After the ceremony, it would be the day when their Immortal Realm would send troops to conquer the outside world. Therefore, he did not want anything bad to happen during this period.

"Lord Dongwang, the Grand Elder of the Jiuli Clan has arrived at the gate!"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King glanced at the messenger and nodded, saying, "Let's go out and take a look."

At the entrance of the Eastern King's Mansion, the Eastern King saw the Grand Elder of the Jiuli Clan: "Hahaha, old brother, why are you only arriving now? How are you getting used to living in this city?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Jiuli tribe laughed heartily and said, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it. This city is indeed much better than our mountain village."

"Haha, I'm glad you can stay here. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to stay here, brother. Come, let's go inside and chat."

As he spoke, the Eastern King looked at the guards behind the Great Elder of the Jiuli tribe and said, "Oh, you only brought two guards?"

The Grand Elder of the Jiuli Clan said, "Hahaha, I'm here as a guest of Brother Dongwang, not to fight. Why would I bring so many people? Do you think I don't trust Brother Dongwang?"

"Haha, good, I know perfectly well how much you trust me, brother. Come on, let's drink and chat. I've prepared some really good wine for you today, brother. Please have a few more drinks, I promise!"

The Grand Elder said, "Of course! Today I'm not leaving until I'm drunk! Brother Dongwang, please prepare plenty of wine, lest I run out!"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, my Eastern King's wine cellar is more than full. I'm just afraid that you don't have the capacity. If you can drink it all out for me, hahaha, I'll have to thank you, brother!"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile and then entered the Eastern Prince's residence hand in hand.

The guards around them relaxed their vigilance. They had thought the Grand Elder would bring a lot of people, but to their surprise, he only brought two people.

call out……

Just as everyone in the Eastern Prince's Mansion relaxed their vigilance, and without anyone noticing, a dark shadow flew across the entire Eastern Prince's Mansion and landed on the courtyard wall not far away, after which it remained motionless.

At this moment, Chen Jie was like a night owl, crouching on the courtyard wall, observing the flow of people below. Suddenly, a group of people walked by, and Chen Jie immediately and silently hid in the blind spot of the group.

In this way, Chen Jie evaded two patrol teams. He was quite skilled at infiltrating, so he didn't make any major mistakes. Soon, Chen Jie infiltrated the garden of the East King's Mansion, where patrol teams were walking back and forth.

Chen Jie did not act rashly, but instead hid in a corner to observe the patrol team's rotation.

There were two groups of people in the garden. There was a gap of about one minute between the two groups as they passed the artificial hill. This was the best time for Chen Jie to make his move. Thinking this, Chen Jie held his breath and slowly took out a short shovel from his storage ring.

With a short shovel in hand, Chen Jie looked at the gap in the middle and rushed straight to the artificial hill.

From east to west, five steps.

One two three four five!

Here. Chen Jie instantly squatted down, then picked up a shovel and dug with a cool flourish.

Three feet.

With Chen Jie's all-out digging, three feet of soil was reduced to just a few shovelfuls.

click!
Just when Chen Jie felt he had dug almost out, there was a sudden cracking sound, and Chen Jie realized he had dug up something.

found it!
Chen Jie's eyes instantly brightened. He bent down, reached into the mud pit, and dug. He found a very hard stone. When he dug it out, he saw what was inside: a red seal with a soaring fire phoenix engraved on it.

"Phoenix Seal!"

Chen Jie instantly realized that the Phoenix Seal in his hand was the one he had been searching for.

The Phoenix Seal, the seal of the phoenix, is a secret treasure that unlocks the land of inheritance. With this Phoenix Seal, one can enter the [Linyuan Pavilion] and have the opportunity to learn the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Technique.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie's eyes lit up, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

"withdraw!"

Chen Jie directly grasped the Phoenix Seal, and with a light leap, flew away in the next moment. At this time, the patrol team also returned. They looked around but did not find anything. However, some sharp-eyed people pointed to the artificial hill not far away and said, "Team leader, look over there, why is there a mound of earth?"

The team leader was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately went over. There he found a pit under the artificial hill.

The team leader bent down and touched the soil; "It's wet, and we just dug it up recently."

The person next to him immediately asked, "Captain, should we report to the Prince?"

The captain frowned slightly, glanced at the man, and said, "Reporting to the Prince? What do you have to say?"

The man was taken aback. The captain looked at him and said, "You're not going to tell the prince that someone dug a hole at the rockery, are you?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the guard looked somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, it was inappropriate to say anything!

This pit is definitely not something I can report. Although it looks like it was dug by someone, who knows what's hidden inside?

Could it be that the maid or servant hid gold and silver here and secretly dug it up, or that the stray dog ​​buried bones here and dug them up? Who can say for sure?

The captain squatted there for a while and then said, "Write it down first, and report it to the prince after the banquet. It would probably not be a good thing to disturb him now."

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately realized that this was indeed true. They immediately agreed, as the Eastern King was currently hosting a banquet for his guests. If they were to report to the Eastern King now that a pit had been dug under the artificial hill in the small garden, they would probably be kicked out by the Eastern King.
After thinking it over, the group decided to patrol first, and deal with the matter here later.

Once they understood that the teams were raising their hands, everyone immediately responded and continued their patrol.

Meanwhile, inside the hall, the Eastern King and the Grand Elder were clinking glasses and drinking happily, completely unaware of what was happening outside. Or rather, who could have imagined that the Phoenix Seal he had been searching for every day would be hidden in their garden?

It must be said that the King of the West was truly skilled and daring, daring to place the Phoenix Seal in his enemy's house. If it were someone else, they might not have had the courage to do so.

While the Eastern King and the Grand Elder were exchanging cups and plates, Chen Jie was already heading quickly towards the [Lin Yuan Pavilion].

Lin Yuan Pavilion is located on the north side of the city. The construction of the Human Emperor City relied on the cliffs and precipices. The north side of the entire Human Emperor City is a huge cliff, and there is only one building there, which is Lin Yuan Pavilion.

Or it could be called a place of inheritance.

This place was built against the mountain, and a great deal of effort was put into its construction. Moreover, the Lingyuan Pavilion was built using Lingyao Stone, which is exceptionally sturdy. Unless one has the correct method to open it, no one can open the Lingyuan Pavilion.

Therefore, there were only a few guards around Lin Yuan Pavilion at this time. They were mainly responsible for the temporary security of Lin Yuan Pavilion, such as preventing stray cats and dogs from defecating and urinating in the square of Lin Yuan Pavilion.

So when Chen Jie arrived, the guards here were all listless and lethargic.

Chen Jie glanced at them, then quickly surveyed Lin Yuan Pavilion. According to Heng Qing's explanation, once the gates of Lin Yuan Pavilion were opened, extraordinary celestial phenomena would occur, and the entire imperial city would know that something had happened at Lin Yuan Pavilion.

This mechanism was originally designed to make the Land of Inheritance more prestigious, so that every time the Land of Inheritance is opened, it feels like the Emperor himself is there, and to make the people of the Immortal Clan feel a greater sense of belonging to the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, it has now become an alarm system targeting Chen Jie.

However, there is some good news: there is a specially designed seclusion system in Lin Yuan Pavilion. If this seclusion system can be activated before the Eastern King and Li Siqi arrive, it will give Chen Jiesheng two days.

Once this closed-door system is activated, it can only be closed using the Dragon Seal or Phoenix Seal. However, the restart process takes two days, and these two days are precisely Chen Jie's chance to turn the tide.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie no longer hesitated, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and immediately went to the gate.

At this moment, there was a pattern of a dragon and phoenix seal at the gate, with the dragon seal on the left and the phoenix seal on the right. Chen Jie held the phoenix seal and pressed it directly against the gate.

Then the Phoenix Seal was slowly swallowed by the gate, followed by a rattling sound from the heavy gate, which then slowly opened.

As the gate slowly opened, the patrolmen outside immediately saw everything and shouted, "Halt! What are you doing here!"

As he spoke, the guards rushed towards Chen Jie. Chen Jie looked at the guards rushing towards him, then at the heavy stone door that was slowly opening in front of him, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. His plan had succeeded.

"Quickly! This person is trying to enter the inheritance area. Stop him!"

"Stop him!"

The guards rushed forward with shouts. Upon seeing what was happening before him, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand, instantly unleashing a series of dragon roars.

The Eighteen Dragon-Capturing Palms!
【Dragon's Tail Swing】

Ow...

A dragon's roar resounded, and a huge dragon tail descended from the sky. The next moment, the group of people in front of them were swept away by the huge dragon tail.

Boom~
what……

Screams erupted one after another, and the next moment the group of guards were swept away by a tail, while the gate to the inheritance site slowly opened.

As the gate opened a crack, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, instantly piercing the darkness and exploding repeatedly in the air like fireworks. In the next instant, a huge phantom image of the Three Sovereigns appeared in the sky above the entire Imperial City.

It's as if they're telling future generations, "Go for it, carry on our legacy!"
The entire Imperial City erupted in excitement, everyone turning to look at the enormous phantom image of the Three Sovereigns in the sky—someone had entered the Land of Inheritance! (End of Chapter)
