In the Baiqugou of Qingzhou, beyond that celestial edifice, Jiang Han arrived rapidly. However, he did not venture inside without permission. Instead, he stood respectfully on the cloud, addressing them in an humble tone, "Younger brother Jiang Han, comes to pay respects to the lord."
"Come in," a not-too-high, not-too-heavy voice from within the edifice called out.
At this moment, Jiang Han dared to move forward. Throughout the journey, all the barriers were open, even the main door of the edifice was wide open.
Inside the edifice, Jiang Hengyuan was playing chess with someone. Naturally, that person was Qi Fengyang, the one whom Jiang Hengyuan had saved the day before.
"Has it been dealt with?" Jiang Hengyuan did not look directly at Jiang Han but, while playing chess, asked him.
"It has been dealt with as per your orders. Lin Mo Li has been executed on the spot by me," Jiang Han replied respectfully.
"Right. Arrange a hidden barrier at the entrance of the burial ground. You lead the army of the empire there and keep watch yourself. Do not open it without my order," Jiang Hengyuan said.
"Lord, before sealing it off, do you want to explore it first? At least to determine the level of the burial ground," Jiang Han spoke.
"No need to determine it. It is the Emperor's Burial Ground," Jiang Hengyuan said calmly.
"What? It is the Emperor's Burial Ground?" Hearing this, Jiang Han's face changed dramatically. He was shocked and seemed to understand why Jiang Hengyuan had asked him to seal off the entrance of the burial ground instead of leading the army to open it.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Qi Fengyang, the patriarch of the Qilin Mansion. After you moved the army to the Xuwan Mountains, the Qilin Mansion was entrusted to him to manage," Jiang Hengyuan looked at Qi Fengyang.
"Younger brother, I pay my respects to Senior Qi," Jiang Han humbly bowed to Qi Fengyang and, for the person Jiang Hengyuan introduced, even though he was far inferior in strength to him, he dared not show any arrogance. Instead, he must treat him with respect.
"Since you're here, let's have a meal and then leave," Jiang Hengyuan smiled and walked towards the kitchen. After smiling and nodding at Qi Fengyang, Jiang Han also followed.
"Lord, when I arrived, the old master asked me to convey a message to you. The divine body has not appeared for many years. The strange phenomenon back then was likely just a phenomenon, and there was no divine body present in the world," Jiang Hengyuan said.
"So, old master, I hope after resolving this burial ground issue, you can return to the empire as soon as possible and assist the emperor in handling the affairs of the royal family," Jiang Han said.
"Without any reason, how could a divine body appear? Actually... I understand your intentions. He just didn't want me to suffer here, so he wanted to recall me to the empire."
"But you also saw that I'm doing quite well here, free and easy, without any troubles. Besides, if it weren't for my insistence on staying here, I wouldn't have discovered that there is an Emperor's Burial Ground in Qingzhou," Jiang Hengyuan laughed.
Seeing this, Jiang Han couldn't say much more and was only curious, "Lord, is that divine body really that important? It's worth you staying in this desolate place, hiding your identity for many years, just to search for its whereabouts?"
"The Jiang Clan of the Empire all have imperial bloodline. In recent years, there have been many geniuses emerging. If properly cultivated, it might not be inferior to that so-called divine body," Jiang Han said.
"Huh." For Jiang Han's question, Jiang Hengyuan first smiled slightly and then said, "As for how powerful the divine body is, I can't say. After all, I have never seen it with my own eyes. All the records about the divine body only exist in historical records."
"However, back then, when the divine body first appeared and we were preparing to go to Qingzhou, the old master once told me a sentence, the divine body must be found, no matter what the cost."
"If the divine body cannot be used by our empire, then in the future, our empire might face a disaster of extermination."
"He dares!!! Whether he is the divine body or not, as long as he was born in the Jiuzhou Continent, he is a citizen of the Jiang Clan Empire. To defy and rebel against the emperor and act below the law is to court death," Jiang Han looked unconvinced. "Oh, the divine body inherently possesses the air of a king, and will never be willing to submit to others. If we had shown kindness to him when he was young, even if he wasn't always used by the royal family, he would have held a grateful heart."
"But if my kingdom fails to show kindness to him and instead this unfair world makes him resentful, then he will definitely have the idea of stabilizing the chaotic times and ruling the world. And if he wants to dominate this continent of the Three Kingdoms, the Ji Clan royal family is obviously the biggest stumbling block for him. If you were the divine body, would you solve the stumbling block?" asked Jiang Hengyuan with a smile.
"The divine body is so troublesome. Why not eliminate him before he has grown up?" Jiang Han's eyes flashed with a killing intent.
"It is indeed troublesome. The old master had also carefully considered whether to eliminate or cultivate the divine body. But in the end, he chose to cultivate because when there is a world-class genius in front of you, who would be able to bear to eliminate such a good seed?"
Jiang Hengyuan smiled calmly and then patted Jiang Han's shoulder, saying, "Also, you must not doubt the power of the bestowed divine body. If you truly think that the divine body is inferior to our imperial bloodline, then you might as well think about the Nine Color Divine Thunder back then. Imagine, among the royal families, who possesses such power?"
"Well..." Hearing Jiang Hengyuan say this, Jiang Han's face also changed. His sharp pupils began to flicker uneasily.
Because he would never forget that terrifying scene that night, the destructive aura emitted by the Nine Color Divine Thunder swept across the entire continent. That aura, even when he recalled it now, would still make him feel afraid.
Because at that time, even he, who had already achieved some success in martial arts, was worried that the continent might be destroyed by that Nine Color Divine Thunder.
After that, according to Jiang Hengyuan's instructions, Jiang Han transferred the army of the Ji Clan royal family to Xuanwu City and personally guarded the entrance of this imperial burial.
As for Qi Fengyang, he returned to the Qilin Mansion and became the master of the Qilin Mansion.
This news was undoubtedly explosive. The traitor of the mansion who was almost executed a few days ago suddenly became the master of the mansion. This was truly too shocking.
But as long as people think that the one supporting Qi Fengyang behind the scenes was the Ji Clan royal family, this shock would not be so shocking anymore. Instead, they would think Lin Mo-li was truly too pitiful.
Poorly, he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and ended up losing not only his position as the master of the mansion but also his life.
Just as great changes were taking place in Qingzhou, Chu Feng had traveled for several days and had crossed the border state and entered the territory of Qin State.
Although the mainland is divided into nine provinces, the land areas of each province vary. Qingzhou is undoubtedly the smallest among the nine provinces. Jizhou is quite large, but it is said that this Qinzhou is the province with the largest land area among the nine.
Because this trip was rushed and not enough food was prepared, after several days of travel, Chu Feng was already extremely hungry and found it difficult to continue.
He had no choice but to reduce the speed of the flight, hoping to find a place below to fill his stomach and also inquire about the direction of the Wan Yao Mountain.
"Ha ha, finally I found a small town."
"Hey, no, why are so many people gathered there?"
