The Great Qin Imperial Capital, Xianyang City

Ao Bing and Ao Xiaoyao left the Asura Sect, and for a moment, they were at a loss. Relying on the Divination of the Chancellor Turtle, they arrived at the Asura Sect and met Wu Xuefei. However, when they confronted her using the Heart Reflecting Mirror, the murderer was not her, and had nothing to do with her. At this point, Ao Bing really didn't know who the murderer was. It seemed that he could only return to the Dragon Palace first and then make a more careful plan.

"Brother Ao, wait..." However, just as Ao Bing and Ao Xiaoyao were flying towards the East Sea Dragon Palace, a familiar voice rang out from behind, and a figure quickly approached. It was Zhuge Xiang who had caught up.

"Brother Zhuge, I must thank you for your great help in this matter. Although the result was somewhat unexpected, it is at least the Truth," Ao Bing said, looking at Zhuge Xiang who had caught up.

In the Great Hall, it was inappropriate to express this directly, since it was Zhuge Xiang siding with outsiders. However, in private, Ao Bing naturally thanked Zhuge Xiang.

"Not at all, I'm friends with Ying Wushuang and Ao Xiaoyao. It was nothing, nothing to mention," Zhuge Xiang waved his hand dismissively upon hearing Ao Bing's thanks.

"The matter here has come to an end, and we are preparing to return to the Dragon Palace. I wonder if Brother Zhuge has anything to say since he caught up with us?" Since Zhuge Xiang had made a special effort to catch up, there must have been a reason. Ao Bing asked directly.

"Indeed, to be honest, I am also friends with the Dragon Palace. I empathize with what happened Dragon Palace. I have some connections in the Cultivation World. I wonder if Brother Ao could tell me the whole story? Perhaps I can get the gouged-out dragon eye back. As long as the Dragon Clan lives, the vitality of the Dragon's Eye has not dissipated, and perhaps it can be restored."

Zhuge Xiang, displaying an air of chivalry and righteousness, spoke to Ao Bing. Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang Ao Bing's eyes lit up, and he gratefully Zhuge Xiang, "Brother Zhuge, your righteousness is truly admirable. The entire East Sea East Sea Dragon Palace is deeply grateful. Even if we haven't found it, I, on behalf of the Dragon Palace, declare that you will always be a friend of the East Sea Dragon Palace."

"Not at all, Brother Ao, you're too kind. I only offered my humble assistance; whether it will succeed is still uncertain," Zhuge Xiang Ao Bing with a wave of his hand, as if it were nothing to worry about.

"Brother Zhuge's willingness to do this is enough to show your noble character," Ao Bing said to Zhuge Xiang with gratitude, and then recounted the whole story to Zhuge Xiang.

It turns out that the Dragon Clan has always had a low reproductive rate. Even now, the famous Dragon Clan gathering place, the East Sea Dragon Palace, only has about twenty True Dragon. The one whose eyes were gouged out was a young dragon that was born a hundred years ago.

On the occasion of the dragon's 100th birthday, a thief secretly broke into the Dragon Palace and gouged out the young Dragon's Eye while it was still alive. This incident naturally aroused the wrath of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"I see. Brother Ao, please leave me another Communication Jade Talisman. If I am fortunate enough to help you find the Dragon's Eye, I will notify you. Perhaps we can retrieve the Dragon's Eye," Zhuge Xiang said to Ao Bing after understanding the situation.

"Haha. That's only right. Even if nothing happens, Brother Zhuge and I should keep in touch," Ao Bing laughed when he heard Zhuge Xiang ask for his Communication Jade Talisman, and handed several of his own Communication Jade Talisman to Zhuge Xiang.

After saying their goodbyes, Ao Bing and Ao Xiaoyao told Zhuge Xiang to visit the East Sea Dragon Palace when he had time. They then left the Great Qin Empire and flew towards the East Sea. Zhuge Xiang put away Ao Bing's Communication Jade Talisman, pondered for a moment, and then returned to the Asura Sect, where he found Lu Yuling...

It's only been a few days, but Lu Yuling's cultivation has improved rapidly. She's also entered the Second Layer the Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps it's because her Heart Fighting Technique are exceptionally strong?

"What? You need something?" Upon seeing Zhuge Xiang, Lu Yuling stopped her cultivation and gave Zhuge Xiang a disdainful glare.

"Hehe, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Girl, let me give you a kiss..." The more Lu Yuling acted like this, the more Zhuge Xiang took advantage of her, pretending to be a spoiled Spoiled Young Master harassing a respectable woman, and flirtatiously hooked Lu Yuling's pointed and fair chin with his index finger.

"Go away, just say what you need to say, don't disturb my cultivation," Lu Yuling said irritably, slapping Zhuge Xiang's hand away.

"It's nothing, I just missed you, so I came to see you," Zhuge Xiang said to Lu Yuling with a tender expression after her Lu Yuling was knocked away.

"I'll be right here, take your time looking around. I'm going to meditate now." Lu Yuling didn't react to Zhuge Xiang's affectionate look. After saying this, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and clearly went to meditate.

"Alright, alright, I do have something to discuss with you," Zhuge Xiang said seriously, seeing Lu Yuling's expression, he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

Lu Yuling opened her eyes and stared at Zhuge Xiang, but didn't say a word, clearly waiting for Zhuge Xiang to continue.

"Back in the Great Tang Dynasty, I said I would enter the Demon Sealing Tower for a month of seclusion. Now I've secretly returned to the Great Qin Empire, and half a month has passed. In the remaining half month, I need to find out how the Great Qin Imperial Family stole the Great Tang Dynasty's National Fortune. Of course, more importantly, I need to find Evidence to prove that the Great Tang Emperor has been replaced."

"Hmm, and then? Where do we begin?" Lu Yuling nodded and asked.

"Ying Wushuang, she is the Ninth Princess of the Great Qin Empire. With her as a bridge, we can get close to the Imperial Clan and then gradually make our move," Zhuge Xiang said. The follow-up plan is not yet in place, but in any case, using Ying Wushuang as a bridge to contact the Imperial Clan of the Great Qin Empire should be the right step.

"Okay, then. Find me if you need anything," Lu Yuling waved her hand, keeping her eyes closed, giving him the impression that she was being asked to leave. As far as she was concerned, with Zhuge Xiang around, she couldn't cultivate in peace.

"Sigh..." Seeing Lu Yuling's dismissive manner, Zhuge Xiang sighed helplessly and turned to leave Lu Yuling's Cave Mansion.

Back at Futuo Mountain, Zhuge Xiang pondered the tasks ahead. There were indeed many, especially the top-secret investigation into the Great Qin Empire's theft of its National Fortune and the replacement of the Great Tang Emperor. He had absolutely no clue about such matters and felt completely lost, unsure of where to even begin.

Three more days passed. As Zhuge Xiang counted on his fingers how many days were left in the month, Zhuge Xiang Ying Wushuang Zhuge Xiang again and said, "My father's birthday is in a few days. It will be a grand occasion. Didn't you want to come to the Imperial Palace to see it? This is a rare opportunity."

"Oh? His Your Majesty's birthday? I see," Zhuge Xiang said, slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded. This was indeed a good opportunity.

"Then you get ready, I'll head back first," Ying Wushuang informed Zhuge Xiang, and then prepared to leave, truly coming and going in a flurry.

"What are you preparing? Since there are only a few days left, I'll go to Xianyang City first," Zhuge Xiang said, seeing that Ying Wushuang was about to return. He planned to stay in Xianyang City first.

"What are you going to do now?" Ying Wushuang asked Zhuge Xiang with some surprise.

"Hehe, let's take a stroll around the Imperial Palace first, so we'll know the way. When there are many people coming to offer birthday greetings, we won't get lost, right?" Zhuge Xiang said with a smile in response to Ying Wushuang's surprise.

"You're not planning to steal something during the chaos of the birthday celebration, are you?" Hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, which sounded like a thief scouting before stealing, Ying Wushuang Zhuge Xiang her eyes at him.

"Hehe, what? The royal family is so wealthy, is it wrong for me to steal a few things? Or are you afraid I'll steal the Imperial Clan treasures?" Zhuge Xiang chuckled upon hearing Ying Wushuang's words.

"Hmph, if you want it, then come on. I'd love for you to steal it. When the time comes, the Imperial Clan experts will capture you and execute you. Even the Asura Sect won't be able to protect you. At that time, Little Fire Phoenix will be mine," Ying Wushuang said irritably after hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, but she did agree to let Zhuge Xiang go back with her.

After exchanging words with Niu Geng at Futuo Mountain, Zhuge Xiang and Ying Wushuang set off together, flying towards the Imperial Capital.

The Great Qin Empire established its capital in Xianyang City. From its elevated position, Xianyang City, which spanned dozens of miles. The towering black city walls resembled a crouching behemoth. In Zhuge Xiang's eyes, however, he could see Daoist Master purple Imperial Qi soaring into the sky, eclipsing the stars. This purple Imperial Qi was believed to be the residence of the emperor.

After landing in Xianyang City, Zhuge Xiang and Ying Wushuang walked side by side towards the largest Imperial Palace in Xianyang City. The Xianyang City occupied almost half of the Imperial Palace's area, which spanned dozens of miles, demonstrating Imperial Palace magnificence.

The Imperial Palace is a city within a city, with its own high and thick walls. These walls are inlaid with countless spirit jades and Formation, which connect the entire Imperial Palace walls into a unified whole. In the eyes of Zhuge Xiang Void Returning Stage expert, one can even see spiritual energy transforming into dragon shapes, rising and falling. Beneath the imperial Imperial Palace of the Great Qin Empire, at least several Spirit Vein are suppressed.

"Is this the Imperial Palace? It's truly magnificent..." Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself as he gazed up at the grandeur of the entire Imperial Palace.

The Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation formed by the One Hundred and Eight Floating Mountains the Asura Sect was already magnificent enough, but this Imperial Palace, which suppressed at least several Spirit Vein, was only maintaining the Formation on the Imperial Palace outer city wall. What about the internal layout? It was naturally even more awe- Human Heart.

This level of skill is something a nation can't match at all, let alone a single Sect.
