Chapter 623 Lou Han’s real purpose? !
Elixir of immortality?
When Yu Cang heard this, he was stunned.
Immortality... Yes, it seems that Emperor Zulong was indeed rumored to be pursuing immortality.
But isn't that just legend?
For so many years, the True Dragon's Death Place has always existed near the ancient capital. During this period, countless people have gone in to explore, with varying strengths, but no one has been able to find the so-called elixir of immortality.
Even Emperor Chang'an, who had taken out the "Candle" from the place where the real dragon died, had never seen this thing.
Therefore, it has long been assumed that the elixir of immortality is just a legend.
but……
Yu Cang looked at Wen Yang's determined expression, his expression changed slightly, and then he nodded.
"I understand...and then what?"
Wen Yang was stunned: "Then? What else is there?"
"Have you got any more information about my parents?"
"This..." Wen Yang blinked, "Then... that's it."
What’s wrong? Yu Cang’s expression is wrong.
God knows how excited he was when he heard the news about "Yu Cang's parents".
In his opinion, Yu Cang would definitely like this information.
The elixir of immortality that only exists in legends and that even Emperor Zulong wants is already very important, not to mention that this information is closely related to Yu Cang.
Now, he is Yu Cang's informant, but he knows in his heart that Yu Cang cannot fully trust him now, and if he does not make any contributions, then when the Desolate Sect is wiped out, Yu Cang may not be willing to protect him.
However, this news is definitely enough to make Yu Cang pay attention to me!
This is definitely a real achievement that can help him clear his identity as a card banner!
But now it seems that Yu Cang doesn't care about this information at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yang said, "Um... did you know this information a long time ago?"
"No." Yu Cang looked at Wen Yang's expression and guessed what he was thinking. "This information is indeed very important, but it's probably incomplete."
"Incomplete?"
Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked: "How much do you know about my parents?"
"All I know is that they are students of the ancient capital Ren Zhenguo, and that they took away the immortality elixir from the True Dragon's death zone..."
"...That's a statement that really fits your personality."
The information about his parents should have been investigated by Wen Yang when he was in the imperial capital.
Wen Yang was quite utilitarian at that time. Although Yu Cang was not familiar with him, they were still his senior and junior brothers, so it was normal for him to have his background investigated.
The only person worth mentioning in his background was Ren Zheng...so Wen Yang only remembered this one.
However, at that time, everyone in Wu Chutai's laboratory was well-connected. How could Wen Yang dare to investigate under such circumstances? Wasn't he afraid of uncovering something he shouldn't? He was truly courageous.
Of course, that was all in the past. Wen Yang had experienced so much now and looked much better than he did then.
"What?"
"It's okay." Yu Cang waved his hand, and then said, "My parents disappeared six years ago while exploring the True Dragon's Death Place."
"Ah?" Wen Yang was stunned. "Um... I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I'm very grateful for the information." Yu Cang said, "Although my parents are missing, I have evidence that they are not dead. Therefore, I have been investigating. That is why I know that the information you provided is definitely only part of the truth."
The Desolate Sect's style of action is changeable and unpredictable. If you act with only partial intelligence, you can easily be misled by them.
Yu Cang even suspected that Wen Yang had been discovered, and that the Desolate Sect had deliberately released this information through his mouth to confuse him.
It's not impossible.
"What other information do you need? I can help you collect it!"
"...That's not necessary." Yu Cang waved his hand. "Just doing this is enough—remember, don't take the initiative to investigate this kind of thing."
Wen Yang is indeed a very smart person, as he is able to do well in the Changsheng Account. However, this kind of smartness is far from that of Madam Yu. At most, it is just a little cleverness.
After tonight, he was even more certain of this.
He was sure that as long as Wen Yang had the idea of deliberately collecting intelligence, it would only be a matter of time before he was discovered by Madam Yu.
As for Wen Yang's information...it is indeed important, but not critical enough.
When Yu Cang heard about the elixir of immortality, he was indeed stunned for a moment, but soon, more doubts filled his mind.
The information he got from Ren Zheng was...it was Mrs. Yu who took the initiative to introduce her parents to the Yuanhuang Club.
Therefore, the Yuanhuang Club must have some plans for his parents.
Moreover, Mrs. Yu once said that her parents "knew too much."
That means the cause of his parents' disappearance is definitely not as simple as the elixir of immortality.
This thing was more like an unexpected discovery during the exploration of the True Dragon's death place... It was not the main purpose of either side, but because of its high value, it was deliberately recorded.
It was because he understood this that Yu Cang did not show much excitement.
"Is this... because it's dangerous, or because it might alert the enemy?"
"It's dangerous, but the dangerous one is you."
"So—I understand."
Wen Yang nodded in agreement.
Is it dangerous to investigate?... It seems to be a very important matter.
Wen Yang kept this information in mind.
He believed in Yu Cang's judgment, but it was definitely impossible not to investigate at all.
A lot of things have happened in the past year, and Wen Yang's mentality has changed a lot, but his ambition is still not completely gone.
On the contrary, they became bolder.
It's become a profession like the card banner, who can die ten thousand times, so why bother about so many things?
I must investigate the news. Since I have become Yu Cang's informant, I must push myself to the limit!
If Yu Cang had his own arrangements in this regard, and if he was not careful, there would be chaos, then he would definitely not dare to act rashly. But since Yu Cang said that only he was in danger, there was nothing more to say.
At worst, I'll die!
Anyway, what I am doing is a business that can cost me my life.
Seeing Wen Yang's expression, Yu Cang knew that he definitely didn't take his words to heart.
However, he did not try to persuade her any further.
Only Wen Yang himself knows his identity as an informant. As he said, if Wen Yang is exposed, he will be the only one in danger and no one else will be implicated.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang walked to the side and his eyes fell on the crystal coffin.
The building is cold.
Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Judging from the facial features, the person lying in the coffin does have some similarities with Lou Yan, but... he is already a middle-aged man.
He doesn't look like Lou Yan's brother at all. Instead, he looks like Lou Yan's father... or even older.
Well, that's normal.
After all, they are all children of Emperor Khan.
During his nearly thousand years of life, Emperor Khan had countless children.
It just so happened that Emperor Khan's health had been failing for nearly a hundred years, so he didn't have many children.
Since the earlier children have passed away, only the eldest son, Lou Han, can be the "big brother".
Seeing this, Wen Yang also came over.
"I guessed you were looking for Lou Han, so I brought you to this tomb."
"Can I take Lou Han away?"
"Of course, but you have to play along with me." Wen Yang said, "I'll help you untie the restraints later, and then you can threaten me... Cen Zhenguo outside cares about my life very much, so he won't take action. He will also help you stop the people outside. As long as we leave the imperial mausoleum, they won't be able to take action."
Hearing this, Yu Cang smiled.
"Nice idea—but wouldn't that give you away?"
"Of course not." Wen Yang smiled. "Yu Cang, I know you. The noise you make tomorrow will definitely be exaggerated... Then, when they see your strength, they will know that I was just overestimating myself by being alone in a room with you. It's only natural that I was subdued by you."
"……No."
"ah?"
"I mean, I can just break free myself."
Yu Cang raised his hands slightly, and the blood-colored substance that wrapped around his hands disappeared without a trace.
Wen Yang's expression stiffened slightly, and then he couldn't help but shook his head: "As expected, you are worthy of it... But what about the ban card that Cen Zhenguo set for you? That's a national-level ban card, can you also remove it?"
"It's not that difficult." Yu Cang smiled, "This is more realistic, isn't it?"
"...I understand." Wen Yang took a deep breath.
That's a banned card... and it's a banned card created by a national-level card banner!
Well, it’s Yu Cang after all.
Wen Yang could only comfort himself in this way.
"That's good too. I can save a lot of energy."
Yu Cang nodded.
He looked at Lou Han again, said nothing, and waved his hand to release Lou Yan from the place where the sedan chair was lowered.
"Teacher? This is..."
The light in the tomb was very dim. Coming to such a place suddenly, Lou Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. He was about to ask in confusion when he suddenly saw Lou Han lying in the coffin.
His face lit up: "Brother...eh?!"
Then his eyes widened, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "Brother, why did you die?!"
Wen Yang: "...Uh, he's not dead, he's just sealed in a coffin... Well, he'll come back to life if you open the lid."
"Is that so?"
Lou Yan turned to look at Yu Cang, and only after receiving Yu Cang's affirmative answer did he feel relieved.
"That's great... Teacher, thank you! My brother and I will never forget your kindness!"
"Speaking of which, do you know why Lou Han was sealed in this place?"
Yu Cang: "I don't know."
"Hehe, I know—I've gathered quite a bit of intelligence during my time with the Hunter Clan." Wen Yang smiled. He stepped forward and touched the coffin outside. "Speaking of which, Lou Han's courage is quite extraordinary—I don't know if you've noticed, but Changsheng opened the Changsheng Tent just to keep the people there captive."
Yu Cang nodded: "It's obvious."
The people in the Changsheng Tent are not much different from those Liuyu Huanzhi in the mirage Muyuan outside Mudu.
Sooner or later, it will transform into a Dharma body and become the nourishment for the Buddha's kingdom.
"So, in fact, among the nine tents of immortality, the first eight tents are completely insignificant. Only the first tent, the Great King's Court, is the golden and jade heaven under the throne of immortality. In other words, the people in the other eight tents are just expendable. When the critical moment comes, they can be sacrificed at any time!"
After these words were spoken, Lou Yan didn't react at all, but Yu Cang's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He raised his head and looked at Wen Yang, as if he had guessed something: "You mean..."
"That's right... There's a secret method within the Lou family's royal family. Simply by activating it, it can directly destroy the first eight tents and transform all the living creatures within them into nutrients!"
"Ah?" Lou Yanchang opened his mouth wide, "There is such a thing..."
Yu Cang had already frowned, his eyes falling on Lou Yan's face in the ice coffin.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had his eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware of what was being discussed outside.
Yu Cang knew in his heart that since Wen Yang mentioned this matter at this time, it meant that—
"So, Lou Han activated this secret method." Wen Yang said directly, "He has been dissatisfied with Sa Jue's arbitrary control of the Changsheng Tent and the introduction of the Desolate Sect for a long time. He believes that whether it is the Changsheng Tent or the Great King's Court, they can only be surnamed Lou, so...
"He planned to sacrifice the other eight tents, using their power to break through the myth in one fell swoop, and then wipe out the Desolate Sect and Sa Jue in one fell swoop!"
…
"impossible!"
Yu Cang and Wen Yang looked in the direction of the voice and saw...
Lou Yan slapped the edge of the coffin, his eyes fixed on Wen Yang.
"Big Brother has always loved his people like his own children. How could he possibly do this?"
That’s…that’s…the living beings of the entire world!
There are probably hundreds of millions of innocent people among them!
"When I was little, my elder brother always told me to care for the people in the Changsheng Tent and to be a good Khan in the future... How could such an elder brother do such a thing!"
Lou Yan's expression was very excited.
In Changsheng's tent, there are not many people who are willing to be truly kind to him.
Apart from Lou Han, I'm afraid I can't find anyone else.
In his eyes, Lou Hanyi is just a very good person. He even feels that Lou Hanyi is more qualified to be the successor than himself!
If my eldest brother becomes the Khan, he will definitely manage the Changsheng Tent well.
But now, the words that came out of Wen Yang's mouth undoubtedly completely tore this image apart.
“…” Wen Yang was silent for a moment.
This kid just called Yu Cang "Teacher" and Lou Han "Brother".
Um……
He is truly worthy of being Yu Cang.
While he was still struggling for a little support from the card banner, Yu Cang had already recruited the future Khan of the Immortal Tent.
Awesome.
When Wen Yang saw him, he knew that Yu Cang must have some ideas about the power on the top of Lingguang Mountain.
So, he didn't hide it and said directly:
"Why else do you think Lou Han was sealed here and not even allowed to wake up?"
"you……"
"Because his secret method has completed most of the preparations, the related totems of the other eight tents have been activated one after another, and it has almost reached the final stage. You are Lou Yan, right? I have heard of you. Do you think that just by eavesdropping on Sa Jue's two insignificant conversations, you can make Sa Jue make up his mind to take action against the Lou family?
"Changsheng's surname is also Lou! He still has to rely on Changsheng's power to deceive people, so he won't kill the Lou family bloodline at this time, so as not to trigger any restrictions left by Changsheng! In fact, if Lou Han hadn't stood on the opposite side of both Sa Jue and the Desolate Sect, no one would have done things to this extent."
Lou Yan: “…”
"Besides, I've also seen that totem in other Eight Tents...it definitely has this function, it can't be fake."
“How… could it be…”
Lou Yan's eyes suddenly became blank.
His body seemed to have lost strength, and he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
Brother...is he that kind of person?
On the side, Yu Cang's eyes flickered.
So that’s how it is. The Eternal Life Tent has this kind of back-up plan.
He looked at Lou Han who was sleeping peacefully in the ice coffin.
It is hard to imagine that this middle-aged man with righteousness between his brows would personally make such a cruel plan.
Think for a moment.
"Lou Yan, there's no need to be sad," Yu Cang said. "This is the path your brother chose to save the country. National affairs have no room for weakness. If you don't approve or agree, then replace him with your own path."
Lou Yan: “…”
He was silent for a long time.
His fists had unconsciously clenched tightly.
At this moment, there seemed to be something more in his eyes.
"I understand, teacher."
"Do you still need me to take Lou Han away?"
“…No.”
Lou Yan stood up from the ground, walked to the coffin, and looked at Lou Han lying quietly inside with a complicated expression.
He believed that after Lou Han regained consciousness, he would still stand in front of him and protect him as before.
However, the one who needs protection the most in the Changsheng Tent is not him.
Now, Lou Han has become a dangerous person... No one knows how to activate that secret method. What if Lou Han only needs to think about it -
So, for everyone's consideration, Lou Han cannot wake up now.
"Teacher, if possible... let Big Brother sleep here for a while longer."
After saying this, Lou Yan seemed to have relieved something from his heart.
"Of course, if you have other plans, you don't have to worry about me... I have no objection."
Seeing this, Yu Cang smiled and said, "I have the same idea as you."
In any case, sacrificing so many people at once is too challenging for one's nerves.
To be on the safe side, Lou Han should just stay in this coffin.
On the other side, Wen Yang's face showed no surprise.
He guessed that Yu Cang would make this choice.
Admittedly, the information about the Longevity Account that Lou Han mentioned was very important, but this person was still too dangerous.
Even though Wen Yang has now become a card banner and some of his morals have gradually become blurred, he still feels a little uneasy about his behavior.
"Yu Cang, it's okay—don't forget, I have a lot of intelligence here too." Wen Yang patted his chest, "Don't underestimate my intelligence network... If you want to ask anything, just come directly!"
…
Golden and Jade Hall
This time, Sa Jue didn't just stand there, but... actually sat on the golden throne.
Then, one could see... the golden throne seemed to come alive. Thousands of golden threads extended from the gold that made up the surface of the throne, growing upwards along Sa Jue's skin... like a giant tree spreading its roots!
“Ugh…Ah!”
Sa Jue suddenly raised his hand and forcibly lifted his arm from the golden throne. Suddenly, countless golden threads were forcibly torn off, but there were still a few scattered threads that were lingering and could not be pulled out completely.
He used the same method to forcibly tear off the other side, and then he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Damn it…”
Sa Jue was breathing heavily on the throne.
"Over at the Imperial Mausoleum...why is there such a big commotion?"
A loophole has appeared in the Buddhist kingdom, and he certainly cannot sit idly by.
Emperor Khan is sleeping. He is the only person in the entire Longevity Tent who can restore the Buddhist kingdom.
However, the authority he had always had was borrowed. It was okay for combat, but if he used it here... it would be terrible.
The only way is for him to sit on the Golden Throne!
He had longed for this moment for a long time, and had secretly thought of sitting on it countless times to receive the worship of all people, but he knew that this golden throne could not be sat on by just turning left.
If you don't have the blood of the Lou family, then as long as you dare to sit on it, it will be equivalent to the entire Buddhist kingdom pressing down on you. In an instant, your body will directly "turn into gold" and then be squeezed into the throne by the weight of the Buddhist kingdom, becoming a part of the throne.
But fortunately… after years of preparation, he has earned the qualifications to sit on it… although, only for a short while.
"It's not the time yet... It's not the time..."
Sa Jue's breathing gradually calmed down.
“Something happened at the Imperial Mausoleum… Considering the time, Lou Han should have been rescued… The hidden power around Yu Cang fought against the people of the Desolate Sect and was able to create a hole in the Buddhist Kingdom… This kind of power is at least a mythical country-protecting force.
"But, strangely, why can't I sense the aura of the Mythical Soul Card?"
He pondered secretly.
He would definitely recognize the Yan Country's mythical soul cards as soon as they appeared.
Hidden too well? Or...
He was certain that Yu Cang would go to the imperial mausoleum tonight, not because of any guidance he had given, but because Yu Cang had nowhere else to go.
This is the only place left that is both suspicious and valuable.
Yu Cang will definitely not stay in the post station obediently, so there is no need to say more.
Let Yu Cang fight with those crazy people from the Desolate Sect, while he sits on the mountain and watches the fight. Perfect.
Although the battle situation was beyond his expectations, fortunately, it was within his control.
As for Lou Han... humph, that guy wanted to use the power of the other eight tents to kill me, but he didn't know that I also wanted to use him to unlock that secret method, so that I could use those powers to reach a higher realm.
However, Lou Han was too impatient and wanted to start when he was not ready to accept the power, so he was locked up by himself.
Tonight is just the right time. With the help of Cang, I can release Lou Han.
He believed that Yu Cang would definitely not miss someone like Lou Han who could cause chaos in the Changsheng Tent.
Just... uh?
Sa Jue suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He stared down at the golden spear that pierced his chest.
Then he raised his head and looked at the figure that appeared at the door of the Golden Jade Hall.
"Infinite and Eternal Life..."
Fashi put his hands together and chanted the Dharma name in a long voice.
"Donor... I have finally waited until you sit on this throne."
