C448 The Search for the Quasi-emperor Tomb
Zhao Kuo's words instantly attracted the attention of a group of busybodies. No matter who it was, they were all very interested in the news regarding the Quasi-emperor Tomb!
Some of them were even starting to get restless. They had completely forgotten about the thousand jin spirit jade bet that Wan Hao and Wu Liang had just seen!
Because in their eyes, there were so many people and so many forces forcing them. Even though Wu Liang had the backing of the Seven Star Village, they had to think twice. How big of a bomb was it to hide the secret of the Quasi-emperor Tomb!
A quasi Sovereign was the pinnacle of martial arts in this era where Great Sovereigns were not born! There must be unimaginable good fortune in the Quasi-emperor Tomb. Once a quasi Sovereign was born, he would be able to dominate an era. No matter what kind of top force, sect, or holy land it was, they would go crazy for it!
Most of the people present had extraordinary backgrounds. The Zhao Family of North Desolate Continent, the Feng family of Southern Wasteland, and the Purple Flame Palace had all appeared here. Wu Liang wasn't an idiot. He naturally knew that if he didn't say it now... He was afraid that it would cause him a lot of trouble.
Although the Seven Star Village wasn't afraid of trouble, they would still get beaten up by the old men of the Seven Star Village after provoking these few holy lands. Thinking of this, Wu Liang felt that it wasn't worth it.
After thinking about it, Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to say it out loud. He said slowly, "I know. A long time ago, a peerless figure came to Chu City to search for Quasi-emperor Tomb. I know a little about the route he took."
"You know the whereabouts of a peerless figure?" Zhao Ling'er did not believe it and even looked at Wu Liang with disdain.
"This is a record that I found in an ancient book. Naturally, I know about it."
"In that case, it should be something that happened a long time ago." Feng Huang was shocked.
Wu Liang nodded and said, "That's right, it has been a long time. From the side, it proves that there is definitely a Quasi-emperor Tomb in Chu City. Unfortunately, the landscape has changed, and it has been lost for countless years. It is very likely that it has been buried underground."
"That peerless figure has yet to find Quasi-emperor Tomb. So what if you know his clues?" Wan Hao asked.
"He didn't get nothing. He left behind some valuable clues." Wu Liang replied with a laugh.
"Who exactly is the peerless figure you are talking about?" Zhao Kuo frowned.
"You are the prodigy of the Zhao family's younger generation, but you don't believe me. Fine, I will tell you all that he is Dugu Meng from three thousand years ago."
"What? !"
"Western Desert Continent's Dugu Meng..."
Everyone was shocked. This name was too loud and clear. Three thousand years ago, Dugu Meng's name shook the entire Western Desert Continent, and it had spread far and wide to the Eastern Wastelands. He was invincible in the world, and some people even thought that he could become a Great Sovereign.
"When he was in his later years, he came to our Southern Desolate. I think his bones were buried in this land in the end." Wu Liang replied.
Their expressions were strange. They all stared at Wu Liang, making his hair stand on end. They said, "Why are you all staring at me like this?"
"Monk Wu, you couldn't have dug up Dugu Meng's grave, right?"
"You all think too badly of me. Is this poor monk that kind of person? Why would he dig up someone's grave for no reason? Furthermore, no one knows where Dugu Meng died."
"It's useless to say all of this. Let's search for the whereabouts of the nine great treasures." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
According to the records that Wu Liang had found, Dugu Meng had indeed come here and left behind valuable clues.
Ten thousand years ago, an Almighty called Liu Chengfeng broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm in one go and became one of the few Quasi-Emperors in the Western Desert Continent!
And the family that Liu Chengfeng belonged to had naturally become a famous family! And Liu Chengfeng's luck was even more extreme, and he had obtained one of the Nine Great Treasures of the Heaven and Earth!
"There are many ancient tombs outside Chu City. We don't need to dig them out one by one. We just need to find the tomb of that quasi Emperor family, the Liu family, and perhaps we will discover something astonishing."
When they left the Chu City, they saw many cultivators coming to the Chu City. Wan Hao first found Zhao Yangtian, then Wu Liang, and then he saw Hua Ruoyun.
He thought that he wouldn't have the chance to compete with the geniuses of the Southern Wasteland, but he didn't expect that. This time, he had barged into the North Desolate by accident, and it seemed like he was fated to explore the Quasi-emperor Tomb. Instead, he would have the chance to compete with the young generation of the North Desolate and the Southern Desolate!
When the group was heading towards the eastern suburbs of the Chu City, there were already quite a number of people in those burial grounds. When Feng Huang saw them, she immediately frowned.
Wu Liang said with a confident look, "It's fine. Over the years, the Chu City has been relocated several times. There are many places in the Liu family's burial grounds that they can't find."
In the desolate outskirts of Chu City, many cultivators were roaming about. They were all searching for ancient graves, and they were all here for the Nine Great Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
When the Nine Great Treasures of Heaven and Earth appeared, North Desolate was shaken. No matter which sect it was, they couldn't remain calm. Even the aristocratic families that were passed down from generation to generation were clearly going to fight for them.
"Caw!"
The old crow cawed. Its voice was miserable, and it made people's hair stand on end.
This was a chaotic burial mound, extremely desolate. There were only a few withered trees and old vines, the other areas completely barren, all of them ruined graves.
"This group of people is too excessive, not even letting go of graves. It truly makes one lose their temper." Zhao Ling'er followed beside Feng Huang, fuming with anger. She had a few traces of pure temperament.
It was unknown just how many ancient graves they had seen, but they were all searched by others. Every ancient tomb was cracked open, and there were even some bones that were dug out.
Wu Liang said, "It's all the fault of the evil people. The existence of the Nine Great Treasures of Heaven and Earth has been leaked. The warriors of North Desolate are scrambling to come here."
"Caw! Caw! Caw!" "Caw! Caw!"
...
In the desolate ancient cemetery, a few old crows flapped their wings and hovered between the bones, transmitting an ominous feeling.
"We've already been dug out, why are we wasting our energy?" Zhao Ling'er was very dissatisfied.
"Who is this poor monk? I know it for five thousand years, and I know it for five hundred years. Listen to me."
Wu Liang boasted shamelessly. Although his body was bloated, he was very flexible. He walked back and forth in this ancient tomb as if he was measuring something.
"Monk, are you sure you want to dig here again? "Hua Ruoyun's pretty face was full of confusion.
"What I want you to dig is not the surface, but the deeper part of the underground cemetery. Ten thousand years had passed, and the real ancient tombs were buried deep underground. The cemetery above is nothing. Only a bunch of idiots would dig up the topmost part. " Wu Liang looked like he had everything under control.
Wan Hao had already expected that these people would ask him to come. Most likely, they wanted to use him as a laborer. He did not have any background. Whether his identity was exposed or not, all of them were Saints from top powers. saintess or the daughter and disciple of the aristocratic family naturally could not be compared with the few people in front of her.
Sure enough, the task of digging graves fell on him. He did not care about it. For the sake of the Nine Great Treasures of Heaven and Earth, these were nothing.
Unfortunately, their luck wasn't very good. They had indeed dug up an ancient tomb below, but it had nothing to do with Liu Chengfeng's family ten thousand years ago. There were no Nine Great Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, it was already night time. The world was pitch black.
