Chapter 73: The Bureau Within the Bureau

  "Earth Stage Primary Martial Skill - Immovable Emperor Seal!"

  Xu Hua was overjoyed, although Luo Cheng had also taught him many powerful martial skills, but it seemed that none of them made Xu Hua as excited as the "Immobile Emperor Seal" he got this time!

  Luo Cheng also took the beast bone from Xu Hua's hand and looked at it. With his memories of the Blood Saint, this martial skill was an extremely overbearing technique! It seemed to be more suitable for Gongzi.

  "Sir, since we've already entered, let's gather the treasures inside and leave as soon as possible! I don't know when those people outside will break in!"

  Xu Hua nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, but let's leave this maze here. If these people can't get anything and there's nothing to fight over, it won't be lively!"

  Luo Cheng suddenly understood Xu Hua's meaning and smiled slyly!

  The two quickly picked up everything on the ground, leaving only a beast bone with a trapped array. The text on it is very different from the current text, and ordinary people can't recognize it at all, so Xu Hua left behind a useless thing!

  After the two of them had gathered up all they could, they took a stroll around the entire palace and found a huge pile of spirit stones, probably over ten thousand pieces. On the side, there were also large piles of white fragments, obviously spirit stones that had been depleted of their spiritual energy. Although the two of them were greedy, they didn't take away all of the spirit stones.

  "Sir, there's only a thousand pieces of spirit stone left to maintain this formation. This thousand pieces of spirit stone can probably only last for one more day! So let's leave immediately after we go out!" The two of them took away nine thousand pieces of spirit stone.

  "One day's time? That's enough!"

  The two soon left the palace and settled in a tavern in a town on the Black Earth Plain, far from Qingping Lake.

  The next day, in the underwater palace of Qingping Lake!

  "Haha, finally broke through! Finally broke through this damn deadlock!"

  "Damn it, I've been stuck here for several days!"

  "Nothing was gained, but got a lot of trouble! These days of continuous attacks, I'm almost exhausted. Now I just want to go back, as for the treasure and all that, let it go to hell, who knows what other weird things are inside, it's better to leave quickly!"

  "Yes, with so many powerful people around, even if there is treasure, it won't be our turn!"

  Finally, the siege was broken, and many warriors left, leaving behind mostly strong martial emperors!

  When the siege was broken, the scene in the entire palace changed greatly. Everyone could feel that this palace had once been magnificent! Those eight pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, that tall dragon chair, and those skulls with jade-like bones shocked everyone present!

  "After death, his bones are like jade. This senior must have been a strong man above the Martial Emperor when he was alive! It's only after reaching the level of Martial Emperor that such changes will occur!"

  "I reckon this powerful person was a saint in his lifetime, I see why this looks just like an imperial palace!"

  At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Hurry up and see if there's any treasure!"

  Suddenly, everyone frantically searched around, but the entire hall was empty. However, the piece of beast bone under the dragon chair was still discovered!

  "There's actually a piece of bone here, what is carved on this bone?"

  He said it subconsciously, but in an instant everyone's eyes were on him!

  "Hand it over!"

  "This thing is none of your business, hand it over quickly!"

  Someone from Zhao immediately retorted: "Nonsense! Since this thing was obtained by a person of my Zhao, it belongs to my Zhao. What does it have to do with you, the state of Qin?"

  The four family heads of the Single Country and the seven city masters immediately surrounded this person in the middle!

  The person who got the beast bone was the lord of Gao Mai City, Wu Gang.

  The people of Zhao Guo, seeing this, have no choice but to do nothing. However, there are not only people from the two countries of Zhao and Han here, but also strong men from the Niuliu Sect, the Blood Sect, and the Wugu Hall!

  Niè Liú Zōng Tà Shàng Zhǎng Lǎo Jiāng Cháo, yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī lěng guāng, dāng jí chū shǒu qiǎng duó!

  Translation:

  Niè Liú Zōng's elder Jiang Cháo flashed a cold light in his eyes and immediately made a move to seize it!

  Bang!

  Niè Liú Zōng Tà Shàng Zhǎng Lǎo Jiāng Cháo shēn wéi Wǔ Zūn Qiáng zhě, shí lì zì rán bù shì zhè xiē Wǔ Huáng Qiáng zhě kě yǐ bǐ pī de, chū shǒu hé qí kuài, jí shǐ dān guó zhī rén fā xiàn le, yě jī běn dǎng bù zhù tā!

  "You rebel, how dare you!"

  But in that instant, Wu Gang was already severely injured by a single palm strike and fell to the side. The beast bone was now held in Jiang Chao's hand. Immediately after, he said to Chu Qingtian, the Great Elder of the Bloodlust Sect, and Shen Nuo, the Master of the Wugudian: "Brother Chu, Brother Shen, since there is only one treasure, why don't we three sects monopolize it?"

  "Damn the Ren Liu sect, they really are ruthless and daring to lay hands on us. Don't they fear the strong ones of our country?" The people of Shan Guo were furious, while those from Zhao Guo watched from the side, seemingly without any intention of intervening!

  "A fierce glint flashed in Jiang's eyes: 'If a strong martial artist from your country were to say this, it wouldn't be bad. But you're not qualified.'"

  The people of the single country were furious, but they didn't dare to be reckless because they knew the power of the Wu Zun strongman. The true energy in the body of the Wu Zun strongman had already condensed into a halo, and the power of the halo was much stronger than that of the true energy! If these people really joined forces, they wouldn't need to fear a single Wu Zun, but there would inevitably be sacrifices. No one wanted to be that person themselves, so they didn't dare to act rashly!

  "Brother Chu, Brother Shen, what do you think!" Jiang Chao asked again, facing Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo after these people fell silent.

  Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo exchanged a glance, smiled and shook their heads: "Brother Jiang, the two countries of Shan and Zhao are powerful, we don't want to be on the run in the future!"

  "Hah! Hah! Hah!" Jiang Chao burst into loud laughter again, "Brother Chu, Brother Shen, are you worried about the Wu Zun of the two countries of Shan and Zhao? Don't worry, they won't be able to come!"

  "Nonsense, this is impossible! You're just a small Inverse Flow Sect, yet you're so arrogant. No wonder the Inverse Flow Sect was able to capture all the strong martial artists from the Single and Zhao nations who came here!"

  "I've seen arrogant people before, but never anyone as arrogant as this!"

  Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo's expressions turned serious, "Brother Jiang, are you certain you're not joking? Others may not be aware, but we can't possibly be unaware of the strength of your Inverse Flow Sect, right? Besides you and Cheng Niufan, there are three more Martial Emperors in the sect. You can't tell me that with this amount of strength, you'll be able to hold back all the strong Martial Emperors from the Single and Zhao nations?"

  Jiang Chao stroked his white beard and said, "I knew I couldn't fool the two of you. However, my Reverse Flow Sect wouldn't do business without being confident. This time, both Shan Guo and Zhao Guo have each brought twelve Martial Emperors, a total of twenty-four strong Martial Emperors. Even if our three sects join forces, we're not their match. But who says it's just the three of us?"

  "Oh, Brother Jiang doesn't know that another force has joined in? You won't say and we can't be at ease!" Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with delight, thinking to themselves: The mastermind is about to reveal himself!

  The people of Song and Zhao on the side were all in a state of great panic!

  "Could it be that there are other forces joining in? Are they the Ma Bu Po Yu family, the Great Yan Kingdom, the Qin Kingdom and the Tian Nan Prefecture of Da Cang Ling?"

  "If it's really like this, then it's truly not good!"

  "What are we going to do now? I really regret joining this treasure hunt! No treasure was found, but instead, we got into a whole heap of trouble!"

  "But it seems like the royal family has some other arrangements, looks like they knew about it long ago, shouldn't be a big problem!"

  Jiang Chao looked around at the restless strongmen of the two countries, "This is indeed a great Yan country. This time, twenty-five martial arts masters from Yan have come, and with our three clans' strongmen, we can absolutely kill all the men of the two countries of Shan and Zhao!"

  "Brother Chu, Brother Shen, you must make a decision quickly! After such a long time, the strong martial artists of both countries should have been killed off by now. If we wait for the powerful warriors of Great Yan to arrive, it will be too late!" Jiang Chao urged.

  "It's actually Da Yan! Twenty-five martial emperors, plus the four from Niuliu Sect, twenty-nine martial emperors. It seems that this time, our two countries, Chen and Zhao, have really lost!"

  Many people in their hearts are quickly planning a way out for themselves, secretly thinking: what should I do! Should I abandon the darkness and turn to the light!

  "I surrender! I'm willing to join Great Yan, please recommend me to the superior!"

  "I'm willing too!" "Me too!"

  Duan Guo Di Ma Cheng Fang, Fu Tian Cheng Zhao, Lin Guan Cheng Li and Zhao Guo Zhong several city owners surrendered one after another and joined the Jiang Dynasty!

  "Good! Good! Good! Those who know the current situation are heroes. You will be glad of your choice in the future!"

  "Thank you, sir!"

  "Thanks, sir!"

  "Haha, great move by the Great Yan State!" Just as these people were congratulating themselves on taking the right position, Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo burst into uncontrollable laughter, seemingly crying, seemingly laughing, seemingly joyful, seemingly sorrowful!

  "Chu brother, how many years have we been waiting for this day?" Shen Nuo seemed to have gone mad.

  "I don't remember either, it's been too long, I didn't think we'd finally make it to this day." Chu Qingtian was also driven mad like Shen Nuo.

  Jiang Chao had a bad premonition, "Chu brother, Shen brother, what's wrong with you two!"

  "Jiang Chao, your mission has ended, and there's no need for you to continue living in this world."

  Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo immediately took action, attacking Jiang Chao. The people around them immediately dispersed, fearing being injured by the aftermath of the battle between the three powerful martial artists!

  "What's going on? They've started fighting!" Many people were bewildered!

  Jiang Chao fought alone against two martial arts experts, and the three of them were originally evenly matched in strength. At this moment, Jiang Chao was immediately at a disadvantage with one against two, barely holding on as the two others launched a frenzied attack!

  "What's wrong with you two!" Jiang Chao felt like he was going crazy, he never thought he would encounter such a bizarre thing!

  "Jiang Chao, don't you understand yet? How many sinister plots has the Great Yan Kingdom secretly laid out, do they really think that our two countries of Zhao and Qin are not aware?"

  Chu Qingtian and Shen Nuo's eyes were cold enough to freeze, and when Jiang Chao heard this, he was even more shocked and stunned for half a day!

  "You're actually people from Song and Zhao countries!!!! How is this possible!!!!!"
