Chapter 202 Running Away with the Treasure (1)
Several days later, the situation in the Yuan Dynasty became increasingly tense.
Countless lurking Blood Drop Pavilion cultivators began to erupt.
Even within the three sects of Xuanhuo, Xuantian, and Xuanjian, there were people planted by the Blood Drop Pavilion. Their simultaneous attacks plunged the entire Great Yuan cultivation world into chaos, with everyone feeling insecure!
This also made the three major factions of the Yuan Dynasty hesitant to act rashly.
That day, Kongming sat upright in the secret chamber as usual. Suddenly, the bell on the stone door rang crisply. He raised his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.
This is the communication signal left by An Lushan. It seems that he has finally made a move.
Kongming got up, straightened his clothes, and quietly left the secret room.
He used his movement technique, like a black phantom, to quickly traverse the mountains and forests.
Before long, Kongming, guided by the bell, leaped into a valley.
Kongming stood still, his gaze calmly sweeping over his surroundings.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing of bells echoed through the valley.
"Hahaha... Mr. Zhuge is very knowledgeable about this!"
Kongming's eyes sharpened, and he looked up to see a divine flying spirit beast slowly landing on a large blue stone halfway up the mountain.
A magnificent pavilion then landed steadily on his back, and An Lushan slowly stepped out, looking down at Kongming.
"Prince An is indeed a man of his word. I wonder if you have brought what I asked for?" Kongming remained calm, but his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to detect any potential threats.
An Lushan smiled and waved his hand. Several servants immediately came out of the pavilion and together carried out a huge object wrapped in layers of brocade.
Without even looking, Kongming already knew that this was indeed a genuine gilded tripod.
He has now acquired two national treasures, and their shared origins are unmistakable!
Kongming's gaze fell on the object wrapped in brocade, and deep within his seemingly calm eyes lay an uncontrollable excitement.
"Now that the goods have arrived, what's next..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kongming felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
He sensed an extremely powerful yet subtle aura quietly locking onto him, an aura clearly belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
If it weren't for his cultivation of the Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique, he wouldn't have been able to detect the Nascent Soul cultivator's clandestine targeting.
He thought to himself that he originally planned to kill An Lushan after he handed over the gilded cauldron to eliminate future troubles, but now that the other party had brought a Nascent Soul cultivator with him, this plan would probably be difficult to carry out.
"Mr. Zhuge is being far too hasty!"
An Lushan stared at Kongming with a half-smile, as if he could see right through Kongming's thoughts.
Kongming's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained impassive. "What makes you say that, Prince An? I was merely considering how to use this item to quickly find the treasures that my pavilion has lost!"
Hahaha……
An Lushan laughed heartily, "Mr. Zhuge, let's speak frankly. I know your strategies and methods are top-notch, but in this ever-changing situation, everyone wants to have a backup plan. I'd like to borrow that ancient scroll you mentioned. Is that too much to ask?"
Kongming frowned slightly, wondering what this fellow's intention was in suddenly asking to see the incomplete scroll.
Little did he know that the Emperor had actually sent a Nascent Soul expert from the royal family to accompany him this time.
It is evident how much Zhu Song valued the so-called ancient scroll and the secrets of the artifacts associated with it.
He made this request simply to give Zhu Song an explanation...
