Chapter 2148: Chapter 2148: The Death Penalty of Extermination of Three Clans

"I think we won’t be able to find out anything." Zhen Wu shook his head.

Looking at them, everyone’s face was clearly filled with panic, many people hurried by without stopping.

Those who could sit down here and have a sip of tea, also had a certain status, or had good spiritual power to ensure they would not fall into the trap of the royal tomb.

Yet, oddly enough, not a word about the royal tomb could be heard from these people.

He truly found it strange.

"Do you think maybe they dare not speak?"

"Should we capture someone and ask?" Shijian suggested.

"Alright."

Zhe Jue agreed, feeling that waiting like this was no solution. It might be better to just grab someone and ask directly.

...

A short while later, in a deserted alley.

An elderly woman, who was over fifty, had already been grabbed by Shijian.

She targeted this woman because she looked like she came from the household of a noble or a high official, probably a servant in charge of purchasing. Such people usually had the most informed gossip.

Now, she had set her sights on her.

"What... what do you want to do?"

The woman, held by a woman with a covered face, was already frightened, and with a trembling body, she asked.

"Don’t worry, we just want to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer obediently, we certainly won’t harm you." Shijian lifted her other hand and patted the woman’s face.

"What... what do you want to ask...?"

The warmth from Shijian’s hand made the woman shrink her neck in fear.

"After such a big incident occurred in the royal tomb, why is it that no one in Dream Flame City is discussing it?" Zhe Jue asked.

Hearing his words, the woman’s eyes widened instantly, her face showing more horror than when they grabbed her, thinking they wanted to kill her.

"You... are you mad? Discussing the royal tomb is a capital offense. If discovered, it warrants the extermination of three clans!"

Zhe Jue: "!!!"

Shijian: "!!!"

Just mentioning the royal tomb warranted the extermination of three clans; how important was the royal tomb of Ziyan Kingdom?

No wonder they had been wandering around for almost a day and hadn’t heard anything.

"And you said to wait a bit longer."

He cast a glance at Shijian beside him.

Shijian too had an embarrassed expression; how could she have known that the royal tomb of Ziyan Kingdom was such a forbidden topic?

However, considering the monsters kept in the royal tomb, it made sense that the royal family would not allow the common people to discuss it. Thinking of it that way, it somewhat made sense.

...

Holding a bowl of egg custard in one hand and a soup spoon in the other, Lin Caisang looked up and saw Zhe Jue and Shijian.

"What does ’extermination of three clans’ mean?"

Even if this was a world of indentured servitude, it was still a continent of spiritual cultivation.

Might makes right, even if it’s a royal family of a country, what of it? Their "extermination of three clans" meant nothing to the powerful; it was as if it was just a saying.

"Sovereign Mother, the people of Dream Flame City really dare not discuss the matters of the royal tomb." Zhe Jue said.

"The people we captured previously, upon hearing the words ’royal tomb,’ were so scared they couldn’t even speak properly. They ignored the knives we held to their necks, shoved us away, and ran. Only after capturing a woman did we learn from her that the royal tomb is a taboo subject."

"So it is."
