Chapter 78: Fifty-Fifty Split

  "What happened to the three great empires in the end?"

  Lin Yun had already thought of the outcome, and it wasn't just the three major empires - even he himself would have done the same thing.

  "The three great empires discovered that the Blood Demon Horses could not be raised within their own borders, so they lost all sense of morality and slaughtered every single Blood Demon Horse on the entire grassland, leaving not a single one alive."

  It was indeed the case, Lin Yun's heart was very clear that the three major empires did so in order to eliminate future troubles. After all, the Blood Demon Horse could travel thousands of miles a day, and this alone was enough to shock the entire continent. Although the three major empires had destroyed the Grassland Empire at the time, no one dared to guarantee that the Grassland Empire would not rise from the ashes. If the Grassland Empire were to recover and possess the Blood Demon Horse, wouldn't it be able to make a comeback?

  Cutting grass without removing its roots, it will grow again with the spring breeze.

  All three empires are well aware of this principle, and it is precisely because of this that the three empires will not rest until they have slaughtered all the blood magic horses in the entire Grassland Empire.

  "It's actually not the fault of the three great empires, they couldn't leave any sparks on the grasslands. In front of the empire, everything can be destroyed, let alone just a foreign bloodline horse."

  "I don't understand these things, all I know is that the Blood Demon Horse has become extinct. In today's era, wanting to see a Blood Demon Horse is simply an impossible thing."

  "Wait, Sai Jinhua, I'm asking you, are you saying that Blood Demon Horse only exists on the grasslands?"

  "Uh-huh."

  It seems that he thought of something, Lin Yun stared at the stone gate in front of him, especially the blood demon horse carved on it, and suddenly burst out laughing. Seeing the young man suddenly laugh foolishly, Sai Jinhua asked with disdain: "What are you laughing at? Did your brain get water?"

  "I think it's you whose brain is flooded, just think about it, there are the unique Blood Mares of the grasslands here, and this place is so close to the grasslands. Legend has it that when the Grassland Empire was destroyed by the three major empires, a huge treasure was left behind, seemingly an underground imperial mausoleum."

  The words had already been said to this extent, if Sai Jinhua still didn't understand, then she really was a bit dim-witted. After taking a glance at the Blood Demon Horse on the stone gate, and thinking back to what the young man had just said, Sai Jinhua also let out an exclamation of surprise, excitedly saying: "What you said is correct, it's very possible that this cave we're in is actually the underground imperial mausoleum left behind when the Grassland Empire was destroyed. It's really a case of 'stumbling upon something by chance', and getting everything without any effort. Legend has it that back then, the Grassland Empire plundered the entire continent, gathering countless treasures. Once I get my hands on this underground imperial mausoleum, in the future I'll be the richest person on the continent, rich enough to rival a country."

  "Do you want to monopolize the treasure?"

  "Of course not. As the saying goes, those who see it have a share. We've been through thick and thin together, so let's split the treasure of the underground imperial mausoleum 28% for you and 72% for me."

  "Why don't you say that I'm two and you're eight? Don't think that just because your strength is strong, you can cover the sky with one hand. It's not like it's a big deal to disperse with one slap."

  Grass, it's not easy to find the treasure of the Grassland Empire, but the other party actually wants to split it 28 with me. Splitting 28 is one thing, but I'm the two and they're the eight. Is there such a good thing in the world?

  "Listen, kid, I'll let you in on a secret. The treasure that the Grassland Empire collected back then far exceeds your imagination. So, we don't need to drag things out. Let's split it 50/50, half for you and half for me. What do you say?"

  "Deal."

  Lin Yun didn't dare to be too aggressive, after all, the other party was always a genuine and extraordinary expert. Once they turned against him, he would ultimately suffer the consequences himself. Being able to obtain half of the treasure was already a good deal, considering that the underground imperial mausoleum contained the entire wealth of the Grassland Empire. Even getting only half of the treasure was an astronomical figure.

  "Little one, if you were to get half of the treasure, what would you do?"

  For this kind of question, Lin Yun was quite helpless. Before even getting the treasure, he was already thinking about how to spend it. He was indeed a typical prodigal son. However, due to the other party's strength, he could only perfunctorily say: "Of course, I will marry 180 beautiful women and bring them home as my wives."

  "Despicable, shameless and depraved."

  "If you get half of the treasure, what will you do? Are you going to marry one hundred and eighty big men and bring them home as husbands?"

  "Get out of here! I'm not as shameless as you. If I could get half the treasure, I'd open the biggest inn in the desert."

  "Alright, stop daydreaming, take a look around you, everywhere is just rocks and mountains, where's the treasure supposed to be?"

  Upon hearing this, Sai Jinhua looked around and indeed there was nothing else except for the mountain rocks, let alone any treasure. Had they both guessed wrong? She shook her head, then nodded again. Sai Jinhua said: "It's impossible, this must be an underground imperial mausoleum. If I'm not mistaken, the treasure should be behind the stone gate, so we have to open the stone gate and find the treasure."

  "It's easy to talk about it, but how can we open the stone gate?"

  Looking at the massive stone gate in front of them, it was at least several tens of thousands of kilograms heavy. Moreover, they couldn't use force, who knew if the cave would collapse later on? If they lost their lives, having all the wealth in the world would be meaningless. For a moment, both of them fell into complete silence, each thinking of a way to open the stone gate and find the treasure.

  After some thought, Lin Yun stood up and walked to the stone gate, stretching out his right hand to gently stroke the stone gate, looking for a mechanism on it. He believed that since the Grassland Empire had left this treasure behind, it must have been prepared for restoration. If so, then the person who built this underground imperial mausoleum would not seal off the entrance.

  Where is the organ?

  "Have you found the gun?"

  "No."

  "What an idiot."

  Idiot?

  As for the landlady of this Longmen Inn, Lin Yun was completely speechless. She had been searching for the mechanism with great difficulty, while the other woman sat on the ground watching her search, and in the end, she even called herself an idiot.

  Lin Yun stepped back a few steps, sizing up the entire stone gate, while Sai Jinhua began searching for the mechanism. However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the location of the mechanism. One person watched, one person searched, each doing their own task, without any leads.

  Gulu gulu, gulu gulu

  "What sound?"

  "I'm hungry, you continue searching, I'll go take a look if there's anything to eat."

  She glared fiercely at the young man, cursed him for eating pork, and continued to search for mechanisms in front of the stone gate. Lin Yun went all the way to the left side of the cave, and it had to be said that the entire cave was really too big. Both directions were pitch black, and it was unknown what the deepest part of both sides was.

  The entire cave was nothing but rocks and stones, there was nothing else, let alone anything edible. His stomach had been protesting all along, if this continued, forget about finding treasure, even if they found the underground imperial mausoleum, he would probably starve to death.

  Actually, Lin Yun had thought of entering the Beast Tower to catch a first-level spiritual beast and roast it for food. However, after thinking about it repeatedly, he finally gave up on this decision. After all, the spiritual beasts in the Beast Tower were all loyal to Lian, and if he were to eat them so cruelly, he would probably feel too ashamed to face himself.

  What should I do then?

  In the end, Lin Yun had no choice but to come under the rock and stretch his mouth out to drink the water droplets that were constantly dripping from the top of the cave. A person can survive without eating for seven to ten days at most, but once they stop drinking water, they can only last three days at most.

  Drip, drip, Lin Yun drank for a good while before he was finally full. Just as he turned around to leave, however, he was startled because right in front of him, Sai Jinhua stood like a ghost.

  "Can't you make some noise? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

  Even if the woman in front of her was beautiful, matching this scene made it rather terrifying. She gave a cold glance and said: "I'm a bit tired, you go find the mechanism, I'll rest here for a while. Remember, don't have any evil intentions, otherwise I'll castrate you directly."

  Are you kidding me?

  When Lin Yun heard what Sai Jinhua said, he swallowed his own saliva fiercely. The woman in front of him was simply too powerful, where was this still a woman? It's basically a tigress! There's no need to continue entangling with an unreasonable woman. Lin Yun quickly left and walked halfway before suddenly turning around and saying: "Sneaking a peek at you means you're pretty and have a good figure. If I don't even have the heart to sneak a peek at you, then that would be tragic."

  "You dare say another word to me."

  "Good words don't need to be repeated," Lin Yun said, and directly headed towards the stone gate. Sai Jinhua, standing by the rock, didn't erupt in anger as expected, but instead nodded thoughtfully and muttered to herself: "What he said isn't unreasonable."

  Arriving in front of the stone gate, Lin Yun did not continue to search for the mechanism, but instead stood in front of the stone gate, staring at the stone gate without blinking, especially the blood demon horse carved on it. For some reason, he always felt that the Grassland Empire had other meanings when carving this blood demon horse on the stone gate, otherwise why would they carve a blood demon horse on the stone gate for no reason?

  Moreover, the Grassland Empire left behind underground imperial mausoleums in order to revive their country. It can't be that one person dies and no one else gets anything, or the Grassland Empire would be too unscrupulous.

  From top to bottom, from left to right, looking again and again, carefully and clearly, not letting go of even an inch of space, but no matter how I look, I still can't find the mechanism on the stone gate. Is it that I know the treasure is here, but I just can't get it?

  "I don't believe it, I couldn't find the mechanism on the stone gate," As he looked up along the stone gate, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly stopped at the eyes of the blood demon horse carved on the stone gate, because in the eyes of the blood demon horse, there were two small night pearls that were not easy to detect.

  "I've found where the organization is located."
