People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Tianze hunched over slightly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Cao Ze's strength was superior to his.

Cao Ze smiled faintly and said, "I know someone, and you know him too."

"His name is Wei Zhuang, now the Right Sima of the State of Han. You are all cold-blooded, but also very boring, you know?"

Tianze said in a hoarse voice, "Cao Ze! I admit you are very strong, stronger than me!"

"But so what!"

"Without me, you will never obtain the Baiyue treasure!"

He has just deciphered the meaning of the runes on the giant stone gate.

Only these Baiyue royals, or rather, descendants of the former Zheng royal family, could open the stone gate!

Cao Ze raised an eyebrow slightly. "What do the Baiyue runes on the stone gate mean?"

Tianze laughed, but it was a sinister laugh.

"It seems you also know that the runes on it were originally used exclusively by our Baiyue royal family."

Cao Ze said calmly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Tianze laughed arrogantly, "Afraid of death? If I were afraid of death, how could I have fallen to such a state!"

"Kill me if you want! If I even flinch, I'll consider myself lowly!"

Zi Nu said coldly, "These runes are recorded in ancient books and were used by the royal family of Zheng in the past. Stop putting on airs here."

She had seen such runes in the intelligence left by Zhang Liang and Han Fei, so she remembered them well.

Cao Ze coughed lightly, "That Zi Nu, the predecessor of the Baiyue royal family may be a descendant of the Zheng royal family."

Zi Nu's expression stiffened slightly, and her beautiful purple eyes swept over Cao Ze, seemingly with a strong objection.

You should have said so earlier!

Tianze snorted coldly, "So you guys know!"

The King of Poisons dragged himself to Tianze's side, his aged face expressionless.

He said to Cao Ze and his group, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I have already trained my body into a poison body. My poison may not be enough to kill a grandmaster, but it is more than enough to kill other people!"

"Once I self-destruct, this place will become a poison chamber, and no one will be able to stay here!"

Madam Mingzhu scoffed, "You old fool, you're good at bluffing. Why don't you just self-destruct!"

She herself was a poison addict. To cultivate a poison body, she not only needed countless rare poisons, but also had to practice special poison techniques. And the most disgusting thing was that after cultivating a poison body, she needed to take poison every once in a while, and even had to eat poisonous insects raw.

Putting herself in others' shoes, she didn't believe that a poisoner would joke about his own body and future.

Picture what?

Tianze said coldly, "So there's no room for negotiation?"

Cao Ze asked slowly, "What do you want to talk about?"

Tianze replied without hesitation, "After opening the stone door, I'll take what's inside first!"

Cao Ze couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you afraid I'll agree to it first and then go back on my word?"

Tianze remained calm and said, "I'm not afraid!"

He already knew what lay beyond the stone gate through the runes on it.

Once the stone door is opened, getting rid of Cao Ze and his men will be a piece of cake.

……

Chapter 481 Little Slut

"rumble……"

The ancient and massive stone gate slowly turned, the sound so loud it was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, as if one were on an ancient battlefield.

Cao Ze didn't see how Tian Ze used to open the stone door; he simply pressed a button on it, and the door began to open.

However, at this moment he suddenly realized that apart from the stone gate being somewhat new, the other places, such as the floor tile reliefs, seemed to be very ancient.

It doesn't seem like it has only a few hundred years of history; he wouldn't doubt that it has thousands of years of history.

He couldn't help but wonder, since the era of Duke Zhuang of Zheng was only five hundred years ago, what methods did he use to control a super-large stone gate weighing thousands of tons, or even tens of thousands of tons, five hundred years ago?

This can't be explained by mechanical arts, can it? You have to know that Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school, wasn't even born five hundred years ago.

Could it be that in the time of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, besides mechanical arts, there were other miraculous methods?

After Tianze opened the giant stone gate, a super-giant stone chamber appeared.

Tianze took a deep breath, his cold, snake-like eyes filled with excitement.

May our ancestors bless us!

If he can obtain the treasure from the ruins this time, he will definitely rebuild the Baiyue Kingdom, name it "Zheng", respect Heaven and follow the ancestors, fight back to the Central Plains, and reclaim the land that belongs to him!

He has just verified with his blood that he is a genuine descendant of the Zheng royal family. Their ancestors were indeed a branch of the Zheng royal family that migrated to Baiyue.

Otherwise, his blood would never have been able to trigger the opening of this massive stone gate.

"Behind the door..."

Zi Nu frowned slightly. "It's empty."

Behind the giant stone gate was only a monotonous, enormous stone chamber, completely empty, without even a table or chair, let alone anything like treasure chests or books.

"Could this be a scam? A joke?"

Mei San Niang said strangely.

She wasn't particularly obsessed with the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions; who knows if it's just something people made up?

If her senior brother hadn't asked her to come and investigate, she felt she would have been better off staying in the military camp to train her strength.

Exercising will make her feel better!

"Obviously, this isn't funny..."

Ya Fei's body temperature dropped significantly, indicating that she was not at peace.

Lady Mingzhu sneered, "Since there's nothing there, Tianze should also..."

Before Madam Mingzhu could finish speaking, Tianze, the Hundred Poison King, and the Corpse-Driving Demon crossed the stone gate and entered the enormous stone chamber behind it.

This action aroused suspicion among everyone present.

They didn't rush in directly because they were worried about hidden dangers behind the stone gate.

It now seems that Tianze knows more than they imagined.

"Capture them first!"

With a clear shout, Ya Fei took the lead and struck out with a powerful palm strike. The palm print suddenly enlarged to a length of ten feet, cold and menacing.

It was after she broke through to the half-step Grandmaster level that she created the Frost Palm by combining what she had learned.

Without turning his head, Tianze said, "Trying to catch me? Dream on!"

The moment Tianze and his companions stepped into the stone chamber, it shone brightly, dazzling everyone's eyes.

"boom!"

Ya Fei's Frost Palm missed its mark and struck the floor of the stone chamber.

The stone chamber floor was made of some unknown material, yet Ya Fei, a half-step Grandmaster, was able to strike it with all her might without leaving a single crack.

As the light faded, Cao Ze frowned slightly. In his perception, Tian Ze and the other two seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"What's going on?" Madam Mingzhu shouted. "Where did that bastard go?!"

She had almost lost her life to Tianze, and she harbored a deep hatred for him, wishing she could tear him apart!

But now that he has disappeared, how could she not be driven crazy?

Cao Ze took a few steps forward, but did not easily cross the stone gate and enter the stone chamber.

Standing at the stone gate, he realized that the stone chamber was not as empty as it appeared.

Many mysterious symbols lit up on the ground, connected by dense lines to form a mind-bending pattern, as if possessing some strange magic.

The most eye-catching thing was an irregularly shaped stone, about the size of a goose egg, that appeared at the place where Tianze and the other two mysteriously disappeared. It emitted a faint glow.

Anyone who has come into contact with the power of heaven and earth can feel the immense and vast energy it contains.

Such immense energy is enough to overwhelm a Grandmaster, a Great Grandmaster, or even a legendary Celestial Being.

Could this be the legendary spirit stone? Cao Ze wondered, his imagination running wild.

"This pattern..."

Ya Fei's pupils contracted, and she said, "The Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon!"

Indeed, this pattern is the same one found on the bronze box containing the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

To be precise, the pattern on their Zhao state's bronze treasure box is just one of the many patterns on the ground before them.

After being reminded by Ya Fei, Cao Ze also found the bronze box he had seen in the tomb of Emperor Zhuanxu, and the patterns on it were the same as those on the ground.

By analogy, the pattern formed by the mysterious symbols and lines on the ground is the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon!

Zi Nu parted her lips slightly and said in a soft voice, "Do you all still remember a rumor?"

"Duke Zhuang of Zheng, the first hegemon among the feudal lords, made the state of Zheng powerful during his reign, and his power overshadowed that of the Zhou emperor. The Zhou emperor allied with four other states to reduce the power of Zheng, but was defeated by Duke Zhuang of Zheng."

"You should know that although the Zhou Dynasty was in decline at that time, the Zhou emperor still had many talented people and experts under his command. It is said that the grandmasters of today were everywhere in that era, and there were even celestial beings among them."

"Even under such circumstances, Duke Zhuang of Zheng still managed to defeat the Zhou emperor and the four-state alliance with unstoppable momentum."

"Therefore, people from all over the world began to wonder about the rise of Duke Zhuang of Zheng and the source of his power as a hegemon. They speculated that it was closely related to the mystery of the Azure Dragon and the Seven Mansions."

"Now it seems so..."

After Zi Nu finished speaking, Ya Fei stared intently at the white jade stone in the center of the stone chamber. The powerful energy inside, if it could be utilized, would be enough to create ten, or even a hundred, half-step Grandmasters.

The reason it is not called a grandmaster is because a grandmaster needs to understand his own mind and nature and establish his own path; otherwise, it is very easy for him to go astray and become possessed by demons.

Madam Mingzhu asked impatiently, "What is this thing used for? And how did Tianze disappear?"
