Chapter 965: Chapter 897: Where’s My Huge Bronze Dragon?
Qin Yu was shocked when he heard the news that the Qin family was gone.
The cat-eared ladies next to him naturally knew that the only one who could wipe out the entire Qin family overnight must be their handso master!
So, the four cat-eared ladies were secretly observing the expression on Qin Yu’s face.
At first, Qin Yu was very shocked, then sowhat panicked, because after all, he was also a mber of the Qin family.
Although when he was with the Qin family, almost everyone didn’t consider him part of the family, treating him with beatings and scoldings, and sotis even depriving him of als.
But after all, his surna was Qin.
At this mont, Qin Yu thought about running away imdiately.
But just as he turned to leave, he happened to see the four half-demon beauty sisters beside him and also thought of Brother San, who treated him quite well yesterday.
He had found the entrance to the underground palace that Brother San asked him to find. He had to tell him.
But the problem was, if he went to find him, what if he implicated him?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu pulled the four cat-eared ladies into a small alley.
“Sisters, I am really sorry. Now that the Qin family is gone, and I just heard soone say it was because of a rebellion that the Qin family was wiped out. Although I don’t know what’s going on, my surna is still Qin. If I go to Brother San, I’m worried that being seen will cause trouble for him. Since you four sisters were with when we found that dry well last night, why don’t I just run away now, and you return and tell Brother San about the location.”
The four cat-eared ladies exchanged smiles, then shook their heads simultaneously.
“Qin Yu! Even though we sisters are half-demons, half-demons aren’t actually smart.”
“Right, right! That’s why we can’t rember the route.”
“Otherwise, how could we always just be maids?”
“Yes, it’s because we’re not smart and can’t rember.”
The four cat-eared ladies naturally rembered the route, but they also wanted to see what Qin Yu would choose.
Would he choose to save his own life first?
Or choose to find his master first and tell him about the underground palace clue?
Qin Yu felt troubled; how could these four half-demon sisters be so pretty but not so bright!
It’s often said “big breasts, no brains,” and he once thought it was a slander against won, but now it seed to hold so truth.
“Well…let this happen. The four sisters walk in front, and I’ll follow secretly from the shadows. Then, once you return to the Yuelai Inn, I’ll sneak in through the back window. I’ll inform Brother San of the location and then leave. If found by others, I’ll just say I’m a thief trying to steal your things and trying to escape from Xianyang City. How about it?”
The four cat-eared ladies didn’t expect that Qin Yu thought he was wanted, yet still didn’t want to trouble them.
“Alright! We’ll do as Qin Yu suggests.”
Thus, the four cat-eared ladies coaxed Qin Yu into acting, with the four walking ahead.
But instead of heading toward the Yuelai Inn, they directly approached the Qin family.
Walking along, Qin Yu following behind started to feel sothing was off with the direction.
Then he saw the four cat-eared ladies arrive at the gate of the Qin Mansion.
The Defense Army guards at the gate, on seeing the four maids, behaved respectfully.
After all, these Defense Army guards couldn’t tell any significant difference in the appearance of these cat-eared ladies, but they all knew these cat-eared ladies were the maids of Great General Zhang, so they showed exceptional courtesy as the four entered.
The four cat-eared ladies then turned and waved at a bewildered Qin Yu.
Standing still, Qin Yu was dumbfounded.
What in the world was going on?
Next, the four maids walked over to Qin Yu, pulling him through the gate of the Qin Mansion.
Looking at the Qin Mansion’s gate, Qin Yu felt a sense of disorientation.
In all these years, when had he ever walked through the main entrance?
The main entrance of the Qin Mansion wasn’t for just anyone to walk through.
At least, with his previous status and treatnt within the Qin family, he had no right to walk through here, sotis even being yelled at by the guards when passing the street in front of the Qin Mansion’s gate.
And now, the four half-demon sisters were pulling him through the gate.
Walking through the courtyard, they arrived at the central council hall.
At this mont, Zhang San and Niu Mo were inside drinking.
Upon seeing Qin Yu return, Zhang San smiled at him and asked, “Have you found the clues to the underground palace?”
At this mont, Qin Yu, completely stunned, widened his eyes at Zhang San and asked, “Brother San, this…I heard about the Qin family…you…and…eh…the underground palace was found…last night…that well…you all…what on earth…I…”
Seeing Qin Yu in such a state, Zhang San couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then glanced at the four maids beside him, realizing these four hadn’t told Qin Yu the truth.
“Qin Yu! Don’t be nervous, take your ti telling us what you have to say!”
Looking around, Qin Yu felt the atmosphere was slightly off.
“Brother San, I ca to tell you the clues to the underground palace. I found it. But the four sisters couldn’t rember the route, so I… I ca to tell you. But since my surna is Qin, I just heard the Qin family rebelled, so will this affect you?”
At this mont, Qin Yu felt he probably wouldn’t affect Zhang San, but he couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang San found Qin Yu’s intentions pure; even while being wanted, he insisted on coming to inform him.
His character was quite comndable.
“Qin Yu, you’ve worked hard! But the Qin family never really considered you one of their own. To be exact, this is just a branch of the Qin family, while you were from the main branch. Therefore, the Qin family’s matters have nothing to do with you. You won’t implicate or affect .”
Hearing this, Qin Yu exhaled a sigh of relief, then thinking of sothing, he asked Zhang San, “Brother San, aren’t you a businessman? How co you are…sitting here?”
The conference hall where Zhang San was located at this mont was a place Qin Yu had never visited before.
He only knew that this area was reserved for people with status in the Qin family or important guests.
Could it be that Brother San is actually a friend of the general responsible for suppressing the rebellion this ti?
No wonder Brother San said he knew soone in the Divine Martial Army and could introduce .
Zhang San smiled and said, “I’m not actually a businessman. My real identity is…”
Just at that mont, a deputy commander from the Defense Army stepped in from outside.
“Reporting to Great General Zhang, last night’s battle resulted in the Qin family, in total two thousand four hundred and ninety-seven people, killing eight hundred and ninety-three resisters, capturing one thousand five hundred and twenty-five, and the rest fled. We are currently hunting them throughout the city.”
Zhang San grinned, just when he was about to impress them with his identity, he got interrupted.
However, the impact was still evident; from Qin Yu’s expression, his “CPU” seed completely burned out.
“Great… Great… Great General Zhang?”
At this mont, Qin Yu finally understood why Zhang San previously said he knew people in the Divine Martial Army.
He really did know people!
No!
The entire Divine Martial Army belonged to him!
With a thump, Qin Yu directly knelt down.
Zhang San raised his hand, and the maid beside him helped Qin Yu up.
“I’ve already sent soone to deliver a ssage to Daxing City. After all, the Qin family planning a rebellion in Xianyang City is no small matter. I estimate I’ll have to stay here for a few days. Just in ti, Qin Yu, take to see the underground palace.”
Qin Yu nodded repeatedly and imdiately took Zhang San with him.
Originally, Qin Yu was just grateful to Zhang San, but he never expected this man to be the idol he’d always admired.
Being able to help his idol made Qin Yu incredibly excited and happy.
Before long, Zhang San followed Qin Yu to an old dry well.
Since the place was sowhat remote and had long been uninhabited, it was no wonder no one had paid attention to it for so many years.
After descending the dry well, Zhang San followed Qin Yu, discovering an aqueduct below, although it had long dried up.
Following the dried-up aqueduct for a distance, they could hear the sound of trickling water, and following the sound, they found that the aqueduct had collapsed ahead. Following the collapsed spot downward, the trickle had washed onto a short slope.
Following this slope down led them to a corner on the roof of the underground palace.
Evidently, the aqueduct was originally separate from the underground palace, existing without interference.
For so reason, water had seeped down from the aqueduct, eventually breaking through a corner of the underground palace above.
Once broken open, more water flowed in from the top of the palace.
Zhang San and the others entered through the spot where the water was flowing in.
Upon witnessing the scene inside, Zhang San was utterly stunned.
The entire underground palace was filled with densely packed soldiers of the Great Qin made of ceramic figurines.
Zhang San sensed that these ceramic figurines were not sothing as simple as terracotta warriors.
Approaching one terracotta figure, he examined the patterns on it, then detached its arm and looked inside. [Note 143]
At a glance, Zhang San realized the inside was not hollow.
It was filled with intricate chanisms.
Evidently, it was a puppet that could move.
There were even so rune arrays inside.
Although Zhang San couldn’t fully comprehend its structure, he could ascertain that these terracotta warriors, though inanimate, must have a way to be controlled and brought back to life, able to move once more.
As Zhang San continued to study the terracotta warriors, he discovered they could indeed move and could slowly absorb the surrounding world’s spiritual energy, storing it within themselves. Once full, they would use the excess spiritual energy transford into Qi to gradually enhance the weaponry they bore.
Hence, these terracotta warriors might only possess the strength of the late period of the Primordial Qi Realm but combined with their weaponry, they could reach the True Core Realm.
Looking around, Zhang San estimated that there were more than thirty thousand terracotta warriors in the entire underground palace.
And this was rely the outermost palace.
Zhang San, accompanied by Qin Yu, continued deeper inside, discovering even more palaces.
After passing through three massive palaces, Zhang San confird that there were as many as a hundred thousand terracotta warriors.
In the last palace, however, there were no terracotta warriors, only a huge platform resembling a coffin. Sothing seed to have been placed on the platform.
But upon approaching it, Zhang San found it empty!
Looking at the marks on the platform, Zhang San was sure that sothing must have been placed here before. From the years of indents on the ground, he could deduce there were four support points.
Bronze Dragon!
This place must be the bronze dragon the Ancestral Dragon Red Dust Immortal ntioned.
Now the question arises!
The underground palace was found, and he had opened the doors to all three palaces. Yet upon entering, the bronze dragon was missing?
Where could that massive bronze dragon have gone?
