Chapter 162: Let's Party Together!

Courting death!

Tian Huaizhao's death was purely his own doing.

Su Jingxing believed that, as Xu Tailong's only son, Tian Huaizhao definitely had trump cards, defensive treasures, and even spirit weapons on him.

But whether it was his trump card or his spirit weapon, he had to make the first move if he wanted to put them to use.

However, Tian Huaizhao didn't even have time to react. Who would die if not him?

He Renlie, who used the alias He Lieren, was a fourth-grade martial artist whose cultivation was even stronger than Li Linzhou.

Su Jingxing supposed that he was, without a doubt, a century-old monster.

In other words, his true energy cultivation exceeded a hundred years.

If such an expert wanted to kill, would he hold back?

Ordinary protective items would not be able to withstand his explosive attacks.

Therefore, Tian Huaizhao's death was entirely his own fault.

This fellow must be so out of his mind that he dared to threaten He Lieren!

It would seem more like it if Xu Tailong had done that!

Compared to Tian Huaizhao's s*icidal behavior, Su Jingxing was more concerned about his intentions.

A mysterious map!

Lu Chen from Ci En Bank was looking for this map that could allow one to advance to the third-grade. The young man who could transform into a golden human was looking for it, and so was Tian Huaizhao, who had the backing of the Tyrone Corporation.

For the sake of this map, many factions had come into Qinghe City.

There were already three factions that Su Jingxing knew of, but he didn't know if there were anymore hiding in the dark.

But there were most likely more of them.

Come to think of it, who wouldn't be tempted by an opportunity that could advance a person to the third-grade?

Su Jingxing was tempted as well.

However, even though he was tempted, it was too difficult to obtain it.

If such a huge opportunity had been hidden in Qinghe City, it was impossible for there to be no clues at all.

However, it hadn't been exposed for hundreds or thousands of years.

From this, one could well imagine how mysterious this opportunity was.

Even if he found the map, he might not be able to advance successfully.

Especially now that the He Family had muddied the waters.

Before the map was found, the Tai Long Corporation might first start a war with the Li Family.

If he got involved now, he might even get himself killed.

Having made up his mind, Su Jingxing put away all the cards and decided to feign ignorance.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A series of notifications popped up on his phone, and his entire body vibrated.

His pupils constricted immediately when he picked it up for a look.

The messages were from Shen Qian.

There were several photos with rather sensational content.

Mausoleum treasure!

Someone had exposed a shocking secret online.

400 years ago, the tomb of the Yu Nation's founding ancestor——a first-grade powerhouse with the title Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, Great General Liu was located in Qinghe City!

After Liu Chenglong's death, the founding ancestor bestowed him the title of Prince Qin.

Great General Liu's tomb was also known as the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

Below the Green Cloud Mountain, Qinghe City. Below Qinghe City, the Mausoleum of Prince Qin!

This proverb about the location of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin had been circulating since Liu Chenglong was buried 400 years ago.

However, for hundreds of years, no one had been able to find the exact location. All they knew was that it was in Qinghe City.

As time passed, no one paid attention to this anymore.

However, a few minutes ago, this proverb appeared on a Qinghe City local website again.

Accompanying it was an introduction of Liu Chenglong and his life as well as the treasures in the mausoleum.

Among these treasures was a treasure that could push a fourth-grade martial artist to the third-grade!

The great opportunity that Tian Huaizhao and Lu Chen were looking for was none other than the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

The mysterious map they were looking for only contained the exact location of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin.

Not only did the informant expose the origins of the mausoleum, he also informed the public that the exact location of the mausoleum was hidden in four secret manuals.

Simple Explanations of Array Formations, True Energy for Beginners, Introduction To Pills, First Look At Spirit Weapons.

And these four ancient manuals were hidden in Xuantian University!

Shocking…

This news was too shocking.

Although the post that leaked this information quickly disappeared, and not many people saw it, that only referred to ordinary people. Low-level martial artists, and the various large factions in Qinghe City would definitely find out!

"The He Family sure lives up to its name. Qinghe City is becoming increasingly messy now."

Su Jingxing took a deep breath to compose himself before replying to Shen Qian.

It's true!

At the end of the message, Shen Qian had asked him if this was true.

Su Jingxing wasn't sure if there were any treasures in Qin King City that could advance a person's realm to the third-grade.

But the Mausoleum of Prince Qin really existed.

However, if Shen Qian and the others dared to poke their nose in opportunity, they would be courting death.

Su Jingxing had replied to warn them not to touch it.

Even Su Jingxing himself had no intention of getting involved.

No one knew who leaked the news.

Su Jingxing was 99% percent certain that the He Family was behind this!

He could more or less guess the reason.

When He Lieren killed Tian Huaizhao, he didn't know his identity.

Tian Huaizhao didn't reveal that he was Xu Tailong's son.

However, for the sake of Tian Huaizhao, Xu Tailong had personally rushed to Qinghe City.

There was an 80% chance that He Lieren would find out about this after his investigation.

All he had to do was shift the blame to the Li Family.

However, since Tian Huaizhao was Xu Tailong's only son, things were about to get tricky. He had stirred up a hornet's nest

If the third-grade He Rengu was still alive, the He Family would have been able to fend him off.

The problem was that He Rengu was already dead.

Even though the He Family had lost its third-grade powerhouse, the Tai Long Corporation had a third-grade martial artist.

Moreover, Xu Tailong knew the secret of the He Family. He would definitely get to the bottom of this matter!

If the third-grade martial artist were to make a move, the Li Family might suffer heavy losses, but the He Family might very well be wiped out.

Would the He Family be willing to be annihilated here?

No way!

They chose to flip the table.

Don't you guys want the map? Fine, let's get everyone involved.

Let's party together!

A treasure left behind by the Rising Dragon Saber King that could allow a fourth-grade martial artist to advance to the third-grade.

Once the news got out, the entire Changyang Prefecture would be in an uproar, let alone Qinghe City.

Even if the post on the Internet had been blocked and deleted, the major factions would still know.

With so many factions involved—fourth-grade and third-grade martial artists appearing, constant fights and clashes would completely muddle the waters of Qinghe City.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Xu Tailong to find the real murderer, He Lieren.

Perhaps, he would be killed even before Xu Tailong came knocking on his door.

In a sense, the He Family's plan was ruthless and effective.

For the treasure trove of the corrupted official, Jin Mushen, which the Shi Family had thrown out, only its origins were known, but the location remained unknown.

On the other hand, stating the Mausoleum of Prince Qin was clearly telling everyone that not only was the news authentic, it also contained treasures that could advance a person's cultivation to the third-grade.

Even the exact location of the mausoleum was exposed.

The map that contained the address was hidden in four ancient manuals.

Simple Explanations of Array Formations, True Energy for Beginners, Introduction To Pills, First Look At Spirit Weapons.

These four ancient books were stored in Xuantian University.

Once one found the four ancient manuals, he would be able to piece together a map and enter the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. After that, he would be able to obtain the treasure left behind by the Rising Dragon Saber King and advance to the third-grade.

Who wouldn't want such an opportunity? Who wouldn't be tempted? Who…

"Hold on!"

All of a sudden, Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.

"Simple Explanations of Array Formations?"

"It isn't the one I took from the library and haven't returned, is it?"

    It's getting more and more annoying that everything either coincidently goes his way or that he just so happens to stumble across things all the time (latest examples being the location of the tree, the memory cards of multiple people who happened to be close to his main targets/important people and now this book.)

    The story itself is still interesting enough and i like the MCs personality and how he acts, but goddamn. It wouldn't hurt to have him discover things through his own action/research rather than through lucky Encounters all the time.

      I can accept him picking up the formation book, since he needed it at the time, but the parts where the moment we're introduced to a family, every event happens to be about them is quite annoying.

      Like one thing happened with the Shi family and boom, there is a shit ton of things happening at the same time, all of them are about the Shi family, and bam, they're destroyed.

      We're seeing the exact same thing happening to the He family now. The MC learns about the hidden He family, and now literally every incident has them in it, and it will probably end with the MC destroying them as well.

        True, but it just seems multiplied by like a billion here.

        Most MCs have some things which they stumble across, some things which they research for, some which are forced upon them, some which they plan for, some which they create for themselves etc. and most generally spread out a decent amount.

        Here it's basically always stumbled across (the bird that shows hidden things, the location of the tree, the memory cards from someone close to the head of the Shi and He families and now this book,) and it happens so damn frequently. It would be good if there were some variety or something. Especially given how much I enjoy with how he does things/acts.
