Not only Duan Yun and Feng Ling'er, but even another captive, Aunt Xue with leopard prints, were staring at Lei Ying, wanting to see what secret she was about to reveal.
"Although Gu Dile was defeated, what do you think of his strength?" Lei Ying suddenly asked.
Duan Yun pondered and said, "For a while before his death, he was indeed quite fierce."
Lei Ying said, "That was not only because he mastered the Ten Break Ancient Strength of the Gu Family, but also because the Gu Family inherently possesses secrets rarely seen in the world."
"Have you ever heard of an Emperor of All Ti, hidden within the Divine Tomb?"
Duan Yun was unaware of this, but Feng Ling'er was already surprised and said, "Could the secrets of the Gu Family be related to that Emperor?"
That Emperor of All Ti is seldom ntioned in the Martial World now, not because few rember him, but because he was once too powerful and terrifying, making even ntioning him feel like a taboo. Over ti, no one ntioned him much anymore.
But Feng Ling'er knew of this person.
Or rather, any Martial Artists with so background in the Martial World knew there was once such a person.
An emperor of unparalleled strength, who brought the concept of "fist is power" to the extre, a being that could never be defeated, surpassing martial legends.
In the end, he was only defeated by ti, not by any individual.
Lei Ying then revealed the secret of the Gu Family ancestor entering the Divine Tomb to Duan Yun.
One can only say Gu Dile is truly a man of passion. This secret, known only to the rulers of the Gu Family through the generations, he even told his treasured wife.
"The cultivation technique you encountered, absorbing the power of the Seventeen Arhats, was indeed the technique of that Emperor, and it's just a small part of it. Only this kind of technique in the world can be called 'ultimate.'"
"And the secret of this 'ultimate' is hidden deep within a secret chamber in the old mansion of the Gu Family. I am one of the few who can find it. If you act quickly, you might be able to obtain this secret."
As she spoke, Lei Ying straightened her protruding chest to prove her worth.
At this mont, the Murong brothers arrived, hearing the secret, and were shocked, "Your husband disregarded the family rules and told you the greatest secret of the Gu Family, and now that he's just been killed, you share his greatest secret with his murderer?"
Lei Ying earnestly replied, "Yes, I've said it before, I, Lei Ying, am only worthy of being owned by the strong. Whoever wins is the man for this treasured woman, even my master. Sharing my master's greatest secret with his enemy and wholeheartedly serving my master is what I should do."
Upon hearing this, even the often indifferent Murong brothers felt sorry for Gu Dile.
The seventh day hadn't even passed, and his beloved wife had already beco the slave of his enemy.
No, she willingly beca the slave of his enemy.
If Gu Dile knew of this in the Netherworld, wouldn't he be so angry he'd crawl out?
Feng Ling'er ignored the trivialities and asked, "Do you an that by going to that secret chamber in the Gu Family, we can learn the secrets of the Emperor's Divine Tomb and the Ten Break Ancient Strength cultivation technique?"
Lei Ying shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about the real secrets of the Divine Tomb because I haven't been there, and if the Gu Family realizes, they'll likely go all out to guard the secret, so we need to hurry."
Duan Yun wasn't interested in the Ten Break Ancient Strength. That was a cultivation technique that involved treating people as dicine, essentially a Great dicine Skills technique, impure, and it could easily lead to backlash, causing one's head to beco pointed. Gu Dile died because of this impurity.
But he was interested in the secrets of that Emperor and his Divine Tomb.
According to Lei Ying, the Emperor had once publicly declared before his death, "Do you want my lifelong ultimate technique? Do you want to dominate the world? If you do, you can have it all. Go and find it! I buried everything there."
After that, there was a surge throughout the world to find the Emperor's Divine Tomb, even farrs were thinking about treasure hunting.
However, this nationwide tomb-searching frenzy soon died down.
Firstly, because there were many capable people in the world, there were more than a hundred prominent Tomb Raider Sects alone, with the Faqiu, Ban Shan, and Xieling as the most prominent. Despite that, the Divine Tomb was never found, not even a clue, and secondly, there was a saying.
Searching for the Divine Tomb will bring bad luck.
Within a year or two, no clues about the Divine Tomb were found, but many experts mysteriously died unexpectedly. For instance, the leaders of Ban Shan and Xieling sects both died suddenly, and countless other Martial World Jianghu people kept dying.
At that ti, people's hearts were restless. Even old grandpas and grandmas who hadn't practiced martial arts and couldn't walk steadily wanted to find the Divine Tomb, yet the result was an eerie plague spreading across the world.
Many just unknowingly died, with the cause of death mostly linked to searching for the Divine Tomb.
People gradually realized that after the Emperor's death, it was as if he cursed the world with a plague, a curse that caused those who sought his tomb to et with misfortune and sudden death.
This is why this sensational event quickly fizzled out, and even the Emperor's na was rarely ntioned later on.
Duan Yun only felt that this matter was truly bizarre and possibly offered the chance to gain Extraordinary Wisdom, so he beca interested.
As for how naturally talented and unparalleled the Emperor was, Duan Yun didn't really dwell on it.
No matter how talented, could he compete with my own Extraordinary Wisdom?
Since he beca interested in this secret, Young Hero Duan, being soone who acts imdiately, decided to set off at once.
Yes, to outsiders, he had killed the Young Master of the Gu Family, laid with the Young Master's Wife, but he hadn't ransacked the Gu Family yet.
