Chapter 624: Chapter 509: Great Buddha Treasure_1

"Is that person Li Zongquan, the Right Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Li Xuan looked astonished as he exchanged glances with several girls present, finding it hard to believe, "This can’t be. Li Zongquan is a Daru of Neo-Confucianism, and his Haoqi cultivation has already reached the Twelfth Layer Stage."

Although this Right Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel is also a key target in Li Xuan’s strategy to reverse the verdict of Xia Guangwei’s case.

He was preparing to impeach Li Zongquan to resign or be demoted to the local level, then use various means to kill this man.

Yet, Li Xuan can’t connect Li Zongquan, the Right Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, with a heavenly level expert from two hundred years ago; these two people simply don’t match.

In the past, Li Zongquan had never shown any Martial Law cultivation.

"Haoqi and Zhenyuan don’t conflict."

Dugu Biluo explained calmly, "In addition, he has practiced a Secret Technique that can not only simulate Haoqi but can also convert Haoqi and Zhenyuan back and forth."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan couldn’t help but feel astonished, then increasingly fortunate.

She thought if she hadn’t encountered Li Xuan, she didn’t know what her current situation would be.

If she encountered Li Zongquan, a heavenly level expert with two hundred years of accumulation, without any precautions, she would only end up losing her life.

But now, without even using force, she has already resolved her enemies, vindicated her father, cleared his grievances, and exposed a formidable enemy like Li Zongquan.

"But how could this person, how could he possibly stay in the mortal world up to now? He should have left long ago."

Yue Qianqian looked doubtful, "The rule of Jinque Palace is that heavenly level Wu cultivators can only stay in the mortal world for a hundred years, and only Emperor Tai of Jin was able to enforce allegiance to the royal family by force. Those loyal to the royal family can stay in this realm for two hundred years."

Dugu Biluo shook her head indifferently, "Not everyone needs to consider Jinque Palace, and Jinque Palace’s ability cannot detect all heavenly levels. My master, Huaibi and two other senior masters, stayed in this world for more than two hundred years.

They possess a magical instrument inherited from Monk Peng, which can hide destiny to a certain extent and deceive Jinque Palace, but they must keep a low profile and change their appearances, not letting everyone and Jinque Palace know their existence. But my Uncle Li is different, there is a master behind him who may possess power parallel to Jinque Palace."

After Dugu Biluo finished speaking, she looked at Li Xuan again, "I’m a descendant of King Wang Jian, my blood can open the door of the Organ Cave of Leshan Giant Buddha.

But now, Marquis of Guanjun, you are now one of the keys. The Array of Leshan Giant Buddha requires my blood and your Five Spirits Body to unlock it. Li Zongquan came to Qinghai-Tibet this time to capture you and unlock the restriction of the Leshan Giant Buddha’s Organ Cave."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, realizing that he is indeed a Five Spirits Body now.

Is what this girl saying true or false?

Yu Hongchang frowned, her gaze sharp, "What exactly is in there that makes you risk the world’s condemnation to manipulate the Yangtze River flood?"

Dugu Biluo looked calmly at Yu Hongchang, "Inside there is a divine treasure’s prototype, which was refined by my ancestor Wang Jian and prepared to suppress the national fortune of Sichuan. Although it is a semi-finished product, it can now use part of its power. There are also two Immortal Artifacts inherited from the Tang Dynasty royal family."

Li Xuan knew that the Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Wu cultivators and Qi cultivators in the Central Plains, at that time the number of heavenly level experts in the Central Plains was as high as hundreds. During that era, due to more resources, countless powerful Immortal Artifacts were also born.

His pupils have already contracted rapidly.

Just the divine treasure’s prototype is enough to shock his soul.

"——In addition to that, there are four supreme magical implements, silver coins ranging from three million to five million teal, I have only made a rough estimate, and the numbers may not be accurate. There are also various materials for refining tools and alchemy. What impressed me most was a dose of ’Outer Michen Shengeng’, about the size of a basin."

Li Xuan was already calculating in his heart, a basin-sized ’Outer Michen Shengeng’, how many Sword Qi can it help him condense? Three hundred or five hundred?

According to the material list Lv Qiluo provided to him, this Qi of Gengjin condensed from the power of the stars is one of the best materials for condensing Sword Qi.

Dugu Biluo looked at Li Xuan with fervent eyes, "Marquis of Guanjun, you better get these things as soon as possible. There is a supreme master behind Li Zongquan, after they cut off all hope, they might resort to extreme methods.

Li Zongquan had thought of blowing up the Leshan Giant Buddha before and taking away the entire treasury made of ’Five-color Divine Clay’. The Leshan Giant Buddha not only impacts the Min River system and relates to the livelihood of the people in Sichuan, but it also suppresses a demon that plagued the world during the Tang Dynasty, unbeatable, and even Jinque Palace could do nothing about it.

This is a serious matter, and Li Zongquan dare not act rashly. But if forced to, he will definitely do it. This Uncle Li of mine, he would stop at nothing, viewing the people of the world like straw dogs, all for the so-called cultivation."

Li Xuan looked at Dugu Biluo doubtfully, "You just said that you are Huaibi’s disciple?"

That Huaibi, wasn’t he the one who released two ancient big demons, causing the great flood of the Yangtze River, all for the treasures of Leshan Giant Buddha?

Would Huaibi’s disciple, the niece of Li Zongquan, care about the livelihood of the people in Sichuan? Would she care about any demon that causes chaos in the world?

As soon as Dugu Biluo saw Li Xuan’s expression and tone, she understood his thoughts. She tilted her head, "So what if I am? I’m not lying to you. If you must ask for a reason, it’s simply that I don’t want to see him successfully acquire those treasures.

If you don’t trust me, you can use the God-Controlling Secret on me. I can accept any Secret Technique, or even kill me afterwards. I just want to see Li Zongquan fail."

Dugu Biluo really didn’t care about the people of Sichuan, let alone the demon suppressed under the Leshan Giant Buddha.

She lost her father at the age of three and her mother at the age of four, so the name Huaibi gave her was Dugu.

Being an orphan without a father or a mother, having nobody to rely on, isn’t that the definition of loneliness?

Biluo was the name her father gave her, which refers to the sky — traveling with the wind in the blue sky, treading the waves along the Yellow River.

Dugu Biluo assumed that her father probably wanted her to lead a life of freedom and carefreeness, didn’t he?

However, Dugu Biluo was destined not to have this kind of destiny. After her parents passed away, she was adopted by a beggar. The man crippled her hands and feet, using her as a tool for begging.

It wasn’t until two years later when she was taken in by her master, that she was able to escape that hell. Master Huaibi was even able to restore her severed limbs, allowing her to stand once more.

Having experienced such hardship and suffering for two years without the whole of her limbs, she was especially grateful to her master, cherishing their bond.

So, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her master, Huaibi, causing the great flood in the Yangtze River. What relation did the lives and deaths of all these people in the world have with her? Could it compare to a single hair on her own master’s head?

Not long after, at the Battle of Yichang, her master, Huaibi, was defeated and died, and she fell into the hands of Liu Zongquan.

Dugu Biluo didn’t really care about the death of her uncle in front of Filthy Organ Cave, nor the fact that her master used her.

She had long figured out that her master had adopted her with ulterior motives, to unlock the treasure inside Leshan Giant Buddha.

This master-disciple relationship was based on falseness from the very beginning.

Once the seal on this divine thing was broken, it would only choose a descendant of the royal Shu bloodline as its host.

Therefore, Dugu Biluo was certain that she was bound to die afterwards, her master and her uncles would not allow her to become the master of this divine treasure prototype.

But, Dugu Biluo was still attached to this false bond with her master.

She was even relieved to possess the Shu royal bloodline, which allowed her to be adopted by her master, and it let her experience that warm decade.

If it weren’t for her master, perhaps she would have already died, since those little beggars who had their limbs chopped off could hardly live until fifteen.

So Dugu Biluo resented Liu Zongquan very much and hated him for not coming to their rescue.

From where Liu Zongquan was, he could have easily saved Huaibi and Jiudeng. If he could have held off Jiang Yunqi for a while, her master Huaibi could have been saved.

But in the eyes of Liu Zongquan, to fetch the treasure inside the Giant Buddha was more important indeed.

Dugu Biluo even guessed that he possibly intended to exploit the situation for his own advantage.

So, in her eyes, the real killer of her master was not Li Xuan or Jiang Yunqi, but Liu Zongquan.

Jiang Yunqi and Li Xuan were naturally their enemies, each displaying their abilities to their fullest.

In contrast to them, the treachery of Liu Zongquan caused her even greater hatred.

Li Xuan looked at Dugu Biluo up and down, frowning. He pondered for a while and then continued, "First, tell me in detail what happened."

※※※※

About one quarter of an hour later, Li Xuan sat thoughtfully at the main seat in the hall of Khan Mansion.

At this point, Dugu Biluo had already been taken to the backyard to be nursed and healed.

After she left, Luo Yan was also in deep thought, "She didn’t lie, everything she said was true."

Being a master illusionist, she had the ability to distinguish between truth and lies.

Yue Qianqian heard this and immediately showed a look of sympathy on her face, "This Sister Biluo had quite a hard life."

Jiang Hanyun also nodded slightly, "Her crime is unconscionable, yet her circumstances are pitiable."

The flood in the Yangtze River was deeply connected to Dugu Biluo, who indeed committed a great sin.

If possible, she did not want to see Biluo being imprisoned in the Demon Tower of the Liudao Division.

"If she is willing to atone for her sins, I will ask my Royal Father to pardon her. However, the precondition is that she is willing to help us secure the divine treasure prototype."

Yu Hongshang’s expression was extremely solemn, "Xuan, before we solve this problem, we need to go to the Leshan Giant Buddha and get the treasure."

Yu Hongshang understood very well how important a divine treasure prototype is, if it fell into the hands of an ambitious person, it could shake the fortune of the Jin dynasty.

Luckily, the Leshan Giant Buddha was close to them, only about two thousand miles away. With the help of the Red Thunder Chariot, they could go back and forth within half a day. This would not affect their affairs in Qinghai-Tibet.
