A hidden relic deep in the mountains.

The surroundings were filled with huge trees with huge crowns that were too big for several people to hug. Even the low shrubs were more than two people tall, and the vines were thicker than a person's neck.

Just like blood vessels taking root in the primeval forest, leaves can serve as beds for people.

It looks like an ancient tropical rain forest.

Although it is only more than sixty miles away from the capital, this place is sparsely populated and even inhabited villages are rare.

If there is no one to lead the way, walking in this pitch-dark forest, it won't take long for your sense of direction to be no different from that of a blind person.

"That is the ancestral land. Throughout the dynasties, only the emperor and his clan members knew about it. Outsiders could not detect this place."

“Although this is the ancestral land, no emperor has ever been buried here. I heard that if they were buried here, their bodies would not be found. Therefore, it is only for the descendants of the An family to pay homage.”

As An Lan led the way, he took out a long sword and pushed aside the surrounding bushes.

Only then can you barely find a way to go.

Xu Qiu followed behind her, looking around the scenery, "I didn't expect it to be so deeply hidden."

Then An Lan brought several royal guards with him.

He came to a moss-covered stone lion statue. The surrounding tile houses were submerged in a sea of ​​vines, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

You can hear the sound of dripping water.

Following the stone statue, you can see an ancient gate. When you push it open, an old atmosphere hits you in the face.

Inside is a wide tunnel, like an underground palace.

But the surrounding stone walls were covered with moss and were extremely slippery, and the tunnel was surrounded by broken small stone statues.

An Lan kicked the pebbles and said, "What treasures are there here? Otherwise, our Daqian An family wouldn't be strangled by the Wu Clan or even the Beiyue Kingdom."

Then she covered her feet in pain.

Xu Qiu patrolled the tunnel and found nothing except simple stone formations, broken tiles, statues, and dilapidated mosses.

Even the carved words were blurred and it was impossible to make out the characters.

Then he said, "Then let it go and let those people from the capital come in."

Xu Qiu planned to wipe out all the gangsters in the capital.

After all, these people in the martial arts world, although they are called knights on the surface, actually kill and burn people without blinking an eye. They all carry knives, and robbing and looting is not a problem for them.

When they are hungry, they eat free meals; when they are tired, they sleep in other people's houses; when they are in a bad mood, they kill someone for fun; when the government chases them, they wander around the world.

Treat the same people in the world as brothers and show loyalty to each other even if you can't beat them.

If I can beat you, I will rob you, throw your body away, and insult you, "Damn you thief! Your ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke when you die in my hands!"

It so happens that the souls of these people are stronger than ordinary people, but far inferior to the elders of the Wumen, and can be used as nourishment for breaking jade.

Such a large number of people is enough to restore Po Yu to his peak.

…

A few days later.

Inside the tavern, several men with long faces and monkey cheeks tightened their weapons.

After ordering a few drinks, someone drank the drinks in one gulp, slammed the table hard, and said in great frustration: "It's really damn unlucky. Speaking of which, doesn't the Saint of Qingluan Valley have a grudge against the Daqian Imperial Family? Why is she helping them deal with us?"

Recently, the entire capital city has been completely subdued by Qin Jianjia.

Those who were causing trouble didn't survive more than two seconds before she killed them with one knife, without even giving you a chance to defend yourself.

Especially those who carry weapons are her special targets.

To the extent that people in the underworld were like rats crossing the street, walking with their heads down, for fear of provoking this madman.

Everybody behaved themselves.

But what people in the underworld hate most is rules, otherwise why would they be in the underworld? This person's companion sneered, "The emperor was supported by her husband, how can he be an enemy? She already has an affair with him!"

"It's really damn unlucky. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the capital."

The man took another gulp of wine, his face reeked of alcohol and he looked completely drunk.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the tavern.

This person had a bright smile on his face and said to them:

"Good news! Someone has found the Dragon's Rise Place more than 60 miles north of the city! It is also the place where the first queen of Daqian had her enlightenment!"

His voice suddenly attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.

"Let's go quickly, don't let others get there first."

A drinker stood up and pulled the man out.

Upon seeing this, the others stood up and walked out of the tavern in a hurry.

However, a waiter shouted, "Dear guests, you haven't paid for your drinks yet!"

He called everyone to stop.

But what he got was the ferocious looks from this group of gangsters, "Are you looking for death? When did I ever pay for your meals?"

The sound scared the waiter so much that his teeth chattered and his legs went weak.

With cold sweat on his forehead, he held onto the table and said with a wry smile, "Everyone, take care..."

"You're smart!"

The Jianghu guest glared at the waiter and turned to leave.

However, another clear voice sounded:

"You guys still want to eat a free meal?"

Several people were stopped in their tracks. They were all impatient and their voices became rough. "Who the hell is that? Believe it or not, I'll chop you off..."

The leader of the gangsters who was shouting had not yet finished his words.

There was a flash of sharp cold light, and in an instant a part of his arm was cut off.

Qin Jianjia appeared in the tavern at some point, looking at them with cold eyes, as if she was looking at a corpse.

Her voice was equally cold, "In the capital, if you eat a free meal, you will die!"

After hearing these cold words, several people were so scared that cold sweats broke out on their backs.

He quickly took out a tael of silver from his trouser pocket and slapped it on the table, "No need to change!"

Immediately he left the tavern as if fleeing.

He even muttered, "Crazy woman, when I get the chance, I will definitely kill you!"

Everyone's eyes turned red and they felt extremely aggrieved.

His pace suddenly quickened as he headed towards the An family's ancestral home.

Qin Jianjia still had no expression on her face. A few days ago, when Xu Qiu came back from the An family's ancestral land, he told her to move around more often and suppress those who were involved in the underworld.

Driving the sheep, they were forced to go to the place where the dragon rose.

Who among those who live in the underworld doesn’t have a bad temper?

If he were bullied by Qin Jianjia, his first thought would be to become stronger and retaliate, so Longxing Land would be their last resort.

As a result, they gathered there faster.

at the same time.

The other side.

An Lan was riding a war horse.

Beside him were captains of the Imperial Guards. Several generals with good martial arts skills also came, leading an army of 2,000 people and ambushing on the hills around the deep mountains.

Looking coldly at the people heading towards the ancient ruins in the mountains, they saw a bustling crowd along the way, and a road was forcibly carved out of the originally barren grassland.

Many of them are from martial arts sects or gangs, and even soldiers and officers from other countries have mixed in with them.

An Lan turned his head and looked at Xu Qiu, "Are we sure?"

The latter simply said, "It's not us, it's just me."

"So what do we do?"

"Stay here and kill any fish that slip through the net."

After Xu Qiu said this, he rode his warhorse slowly down the mountain, quietly following behind everyone.

Although An Lan knew that Xu Qiu was powerful.

But there were at least a thousand people from the martial arts world heading to Longxing Place, so she couldn't help but feel worried.

A captain of the Imperial Guard beside him said, "Your Majesty, if the young elder succeeds in this move, Daqian will be able to maintain peace for more than ten years, and there will be no need to worry about those scoundrels in the martial arts world!"
