Regardless of which of the nine passages Li Shimin had entered, with the construction map of Yang Gong's treasure vault in hand, Li Shimin was able to easily avoid all the traps along the way and enter the treasure-filled stone chamber without losing a single soldier.
But Lu Miaozi had marked a hidden passage on the construction plan.
This led Li Shimin to believe that this passage was the only "broad road" to the location of the treasure vault.
As a result, Li Shimin not only faced numerous dangers along the way, but also lost hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers.
It should be noted that the Xuanjia Army soldiers who followed Li Shimin into the Yang Gong Treasure Vault were all Li Shimin's confidants, the elite selected from the Xuanjia Army, and each of them had at least reached the perfected acquired realm.
It was also one of the foundations that Li Shimin built for his future conquest of the world.
But now, because of this construction plan, these elite troops have been almost completely wiped out.
If he truly died a worthy death, then so be it.
However, the deaths of these Xuanjia soldiers were entirely due to the misleading construction plans provided by Lu Miaozi.
You can imagine what Li Shimin was feeling at that moment.
The word "explosive" perfectly describes it.
Li Shimin now even has the urge to dig Lu Miaozi's corpse out of his grave and kill him several more times.
At the same time, looking at the people around the stone chamber, not only Chu Qinghe, but also Zhu Yuyan and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but look at Qu Feiyan with slightly strange eyes.
Wanwan said in a complicated tone, "You really guessed right. All ten passages lead to the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault."
In response to Wanwan's words, Qu Feiyan snorted, put her hands on her hips, looked down at the sky with a proud expression.
Seeing Qu Feiyan's smug expression, the women rolled their eyes and then turned to look at Li Shimin, their eyes filled with a hint of sorrow.
Seeing Li Shimin's flushed face, Lianxing gently shook her head and said, "Poor fellow, he was completely outmaneuvered by Lu Miaozi and lost so many men for nothing."
However, compared to Dongfang Bubai and the others, Zhu Yuyan's gaze lingered on Li Shimin for a moment before she noticed something unusual out of the corner of her eye and quickly looked towards the center of the stone chamber.
When Zhu Yuyan saw the man sitting upright in the ice sculpture in the stone chamber, her body trembled slightly.
It was him.
As the thoughts surfaced in her mind, Zhu Yuyan's eyes sometimes revealed a chilling hatred, and at other times a joyful and tender feeling, a mixture of love and hate.
Perhaps sensing Zhu Yuyan's gaze, Fan Qinghui's eyes also shifted to the ice sculpture.
When Fan Qinghui saw clearly the person sitting inside the ice sculpture, her expression changed drastically.
"Shi Zhixuan? Why is he here?"
As Fan Qinghui spoke, the three words "Shi Zhi Xuan" seemed to possess a special magic, not only attracting the attention of the other four holy monks, but also making Wanwan and Dongfang Bubai and the other girls look at the ice sculpture in the stone chamber.
When her gaze fell upon the ice sculpture and then landed on Shi Zhixuan, Wanwan pouted.
"Is this Master's old flame, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan?"
Originally, Wanwan thought that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan must be an extremely handsome man to have been able to make Zhu Yuyan unable to forget him all these years.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, I found it was nothing special.
In terms of appearance, he was at most slightly better than the average person, barely passable, but compared to Chu Qinghe, he was worlds apart.
Suddenly, Wanwan felt that Zhu Yuyan's taste was far inferior to hers.
At this moment, the leader of the Black Armor Army suddenly glanced at Zhao Xuetu.
As if sensing something, Zhao Xuetu slowly turned his head to look at the Bad Commander.
When their eyes met, Zhao Xuetu instantly understood, and then suddenly flashed forward, pulling Li Shimin back quickly while shouting, "Protect Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xuetu's actions and his sudden outburst successfully drew the attention of the others in the stone chamber back to the present.
Subsequently, Fan Qinghui and the four holy monks, who were originally standing in front of a hidden door, all set off at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Chu Qinghe and the others.
Standing in front of Li Shimin and facing Chu Qinghe and the others, as her true energy slowly circulated within her body, Fan Qinghui looked at Chu Qinghe and Zhu Yuyan opposite her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
They all faced numerous dangers and near-death experiences when entering the treasure chamber, but Chu Qinghe, Zhu Yuyan, and the others were not only unharmed, but their clothes were also spotless.
As her thoughts raced through her mind, Fan Qinghui narrowed her eyes and said, "It's been many years since I last saw you, but Empress Yin is still as elegant as ever. Even in this Yang Gong Treasure Vault, you can stroll around as if you were in your own garden. I truly admire you."
Hearing what Fan Qinghui said, Zhu Yuyan sneered, and when she looked at Fan Qinghui, she made no attempt to hide the disdain and even disgust in her eyes.
After sweeping her gaze over the four holy monks around her, Zhu Yuyan turned her attention to Fan Qinghui and spoke coldly.
"In terms of charm, how can I compare to you, the former Holy Maiden? More than ten years ago, you had people like Song Que and Li Yuan willingly acting as your protectors. More than ten years later, you are protected by the so-called Four Great Holy Monks. You are indeed worthy of being the former Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai. Although you are old and yellow, you still have many people around you. Cihang Jingzhai has indeed been carried forward and flourished in your hands."
The moment the words left his mouth, the veiled implications in them caused the four holy monks and Fan Qinghui around him to frown.
Among the four holy monks, Abbot Jiaxiang softly chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha, benefactor, why provoke us further now? Stop!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan sneered, "So you're protecting them now? Sure enough, every broken pot has its own lid, and every nun has her own monks who love her. The fact that monks and nuns can be so close is probably only found in the Great Tang Dynasty."
"Whoa!"
Hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Chu Qinghe and the others couldn't help but glance at her.
It's said that you shouldn't hit someone in the face or expose their shortcomings, but Zhu Yuyan is different. Every word she says is devoid of profanity, yet when put together, they are all incredibly hurtful.
Even Chu Qinghe was somewhat surprised by her ability to roast people.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, nudged Wanwan and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Your master is really eloquent."
Wanwan glanced at Qu Feiyan and said, "It's just a fact, what's the big deal? When that monk Jiaxiang was young, he liked Fan Qinghui. It is said that when he broke through to the Celestial Realm, the first thing he did was go to Cihang Jingzhai and spend a night alone with Fan Qinghui."
Upon hearing what Wanwan said, Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up.
Is it related to the Eight Trigrams?
He immediately said with a sincere expression, "Please be sure to explain in detail."
