All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 226 You stay here and don't move.

"Require?!"

Wang Gan frowned.
"Does your Dugu clan intend to push your luck?!"

"Although I am a kind-hearted person who respects the elderly and cares for the young, I generally do not hit the elderly or children,"

Wang Gan pointed at Dugu Feng, then at You Chuhong.

"But you're not an old person, and she's not a child!"

"???"

Even the well-informed You Chuhong was taken aback. You call this respecting the elderly and caring for the young?
But she quickly came to her senses.

"No, Holy Emperor, what I mean is that I wish for you to accept my granddaughter as your disciple..."

You Chuhong sighed.

"The thing I can never let go of in my life is my granddaughter."

“Feng’er has no other thoughts but is a martial arts fanatic. I want her to serve the Holy Emperor and learn one or two tenths of his martial arts. If she does, this old woman will know it in the afterlife.”

Dugu Feng's eyes lit up. She was a martial arts fanatic who loved practicing and competing in martial arts. Now that she could become the disciple of a Grandmaster-level expert, she naturally couldn't ask for more!
Wang Gan laughed heartily.
"So that's all the little request you have."

"Don't worry, Senior You. I usually put women in there even though others wouldn't trust them."

"???"

You Chuhong's eyes widened, and she almost suffered a relapse of her hidden injury.

"cough"

Wang Gan coughed.
"What I mean is that with Dugu Feng on my side, Clan Leader You can rest assured!"

"I will do my best to teach."

"And to be honest, I came to the Dugu Clan this time on other important business. I didn't really want to bother the Dugu family."

Then Wang Gan briefly explained the matter of Yang Gong's treasure vault, which caused You Chuhong's expression to become complicated.

"So the legendary Yang Gong Treasure Vault is right below my house?!"

Dugu Feng was also taken aback.
"It seems our Dugu family possesses a treasure trove, yet remains unaware of it."

Yu Chuhong was quite carefree; after a brief moment of reflection, her eyes cleared.

She knew perfectly well that even if the Dugu Clan had the power to control the Yang Gong Treasure Vault, they would most likely not be able to keep it.

Then You Chuhong's gaze towards Wang Gan deepened. Wang Gan was already so powerful; if he were to receive further financial support from Yang Gong's treasury...
Everyone knows that war is about money. The Central Plains has never lacked people. As long as there is enough financial resources, an army can be assembled anytime, anywhere!
They could probably muster tens of thousands of troops on the spot. Who would dare say that Wang Gan lacks resources?!

You Chuhong took a deep breath.

“In that case, the Holy Emperor may enter the treasury to search for treasures, while I will guard the outside.”

"This is the territory of the Dugu Clan. We guarantee that this message will not get out!"

Wang Gan nodded happily.

"This Yang Gong treasure trove is mostly filled with weapons and armor. When it's transported out, we'll need the cooperation of Elder You."

After saying that, Wang Gan turned to the three women, Wanwan and the others, and said seriously.

"You all stay here and don't move. I'm going to get some relics. I'll be right back."

If Shan Wanjing were here, Wang Gan might have had the leisure to take her down, but Wanwan and these other women have very different minds, and they are facing the Demonic Sect's supreme treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relic, so who knows what trouble they might cause him.

So Wang Gan decided to go down to the treasure vault alone. With that, Wang Gan moved and jumped into the well not far away.

They dived down to the bottom of the well and found a stone brick that protruded about an inch from the bottom wall.

With a slap, he pressed down on the stone brick, and the soft creaking sound of the mechanism starting up immediately echoed in the narrow well.

The sound of the actuators is jarring inside a well only because the space at the bottom is narrow and circular, creating a strong echo effect. In reality, this sound might not even be heard at the wellhead, let alone outside.

Soon, the sound of the mechanism stopped, and a hole appeared in the well wall, just big enough for one person to pass through.

Wang Gan advanced calmly.

Behind the cave entrance is a narrow passageway with granite walls that slopes upwards. After going up for about five zhang (approximately 10 meters), it turns sharply downwards, with a very steep slope.

After descending for a while, the passageway came to an end, and ahead lay a dead end.

There are two mechanisms here. One mechanism is real; pressing it will open the portal to the treasure vault. The other mechanism, if pressed, will lead you into a deadly trap.

Given the close relationship between Wang Gan and Lu Miaozi, Lu Miaozi would certainly not cheat him, or rather, he wouldn't dare to cheat him.

Of course, with Wang Gan's abilities, he wouldn't be afraid even if he were trapped inside a trap. His only concern was that Lu Miaozi had indeed considered this possibility of external pressure when he told him about it.
The Yang Gong Treasure Vault does indeed have a self-destruct mechanism. Once an external force damages its internal mechanisms, the Yang Gong Treasure Vault will collapse on its own and be buried underground forever.

By then, it will be very difficult for Wang Gan to break through the 100-meter-deep underground and retrieve the treasure.

After opening the mechanism, Wang Gan entered the mechanism's square cave and arrived at a wider granite passageway. At the end of the passageway was a double steel door, with three luminous pearls shining with a faint blue light on each of the two door panels.

Looking at the priceless luminous pearls, Wang Gan once again marveled at Yang Su's immense wealth. Putting aside everything else, these six luminous pearls alone were worth a fortune.

Moreover, this is just a fake treasure trove; the real Yang Gong treasure trove is not here!
The fake vault only contained fifteen boxes of jewelry. Although each item was of the highest quality, it could only make one person the richest person in a city or region at most, far from being 'rich enough to rival a country'!
Ignoring these tiny, fake treasure chests, Wang Gan activated the secret passage leading to the main chamber of the treasure chest.

After a series of complicated and busy events, the passage was finally opened, and we entered the main chamber of the treasure vault. After activating the true vault mechanism in the main chamber, we successfully entered the real Yang Gong treasure vault.

The true Yang Gong Treasure Vault consists of four underground warehouses.

One of the warehouses contained hard currency, primarily gold, in such large quantities that it was impossible to calculate.

The other three warehouses were filled with military equipment. There were over three thousand powerful bows alone, and countless arrows.

The remaining weapons, such as swords, spears, axes, and halberds, numbered in the tens of thousands.

Furthermore, there were six thousand sets of iron armor and three hundred sets of bright armor—Yang Su didn't even bother to hide leather armor in the treasury; all the armor he stored was iron armor!

Moreover, every type of weaponry and armor was of superior quality, comparable to the finely crafted weaponry of the Dongming School.

Even Wang Gan, with his extensive knowledge, gasped in surprise.
This treasure trove of such scale surpasses even the immense wealth of the 'Five Great Treasures' he encountered in the world of Peerless Twins!

After all, no matter how wealthy Ouyang Ting was, he was just a person in the martial arts world. Compared to Yang Suzhen's real status as a king or noble, the resources he could mobilize were simply not on the same level!

"With these resources, we can easily raise an army of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, all of whom will be in armor!"

"Moreover, the military budget can support the war effort for several years. It is more than enough to unify the world."

Wang Gan nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the power of the four major clans, even with the wealth of these powerful families, they wouldn't dare say they could have a fully armored elite force of over ten thousand soldiers. And even in the extraordinary world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, a fully armored elite force of over ten thousand soldiers would be overwhelmingly powerful!

"I wonder how well the training is going for Shuanglong and Bafeng Han. If they already have some soldiers, and they put on these iron armors and roll around on the battlefield, they will be able to deal with any force in the world today!"

But Wang Gan didn't pay much attention to these treasures.
No matter how many treasures he possessed, they were merely icing on the cake for him; there was only one thing that deserved his serious attention.

To be precise, even if it cost ten Yang Gong Treasure Troves, Wang Gan would not exchange it for the Evil Emperor's Relic!
