First Emperor's Grand Hall the Afang Palace in the Qin Imperial Capital.

Qin Shi Huang, dressed in a black robe with five dragon claws and wearing a crown, knelt beside a table. A large black sword lay quietly on the table in his hand, and Qin Shi Huang's gaze never left it.

Below the main hall, there was no one. The vast First Emperor's Grand Hall appeared somewhat dark and mysterious. Ninety-nine candles flickered on both sides, but still could not illuminate the entire First Emperor's Grand Hall.

"Phew~"

A Dafeng blew in from outside the main hall.

"Pfft~~"

The candlelight on both sides flickered and shone brightly, plunging the First Emperor's Grand Hall into darkness.

Strangely, no eunuchs came out to light the candles in time. Only Qin Shi Huang, kneeling motionless beside the table on the high platform, quietly looked at the black sword on the table.

"Da~"

"Da~"

"Da~"

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the hall, pulling Qin Shi Huang back to reality as he looked up at the area below.

"I knew you weren't dead," Qin Shi Huang said calmly.

"Hehe." Mo Xie rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Just lucky, just lucky."

Qin Shi Huang didn't take it seriously, reaching out to stroke the black greatsword, and asked, "What brings you here?"

Mo Xie took out the Investiture of the Gods from her bosom and said, "There's a place I need you to go to."

Qin Shi Huang shook his head, looked at Mo Xie, his eyes filled with malice. "I am the emperor, about to unify the Azure Dragon Continent, how dare you invite me?"

Mo Xie shrugged, looking indifferent, and replied, "Sorry, I've already invited General Bai Ling to be my guest. I guess the front lines are leaderless right now."

"Clang!"

The black longsword trembled as Qin Shi Huang slowly gripped it, a wisp of black energy flowing from his body and swirling around him.

"You deserve to die."

"Whoosh!"

"Buzz~!"

Time seemed to stand still. In an instant, two Qin Shi Huang appeared in the First Emperor's Grand Hall. One was still kneeling beside the table, while the other had already arrived beside Mo Xie, holding a black longsword and thrusting it straight at Mo Xie.

Before Qin Shi Huang produced the Qin Shi Huang Imperial Seal of the Son of Heaven, Mo Xie didn't take his attack seriously at all. As Half-Step Immortal Realm, Mo Xie was someone that ordinary cultivators couldn't contend with.

Of course, Mo Xie didn't want to give Qin Shi Huang the opportunity to use the Imperial Seal of the Son of Heaven, so she directly activated the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods in her hand and confronted Qin Shi Huang head-on.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Shi Huang, facing the suddenly appearing scroll of paper, increased the force in his hand by three points. His black longsword moved like a dragon, carrying powerful Spiritual Power, attempting to pierce through the Investiture of the Gods.

"Buzz~!"

A beam of light appeared, and Qin Shi Huang, along with his sword, disappeared into the Investiture of the Gods.

"Put it away!" Mo Xie hurriedly put away the Investiture of the Gods, fearing that Qin Shi Huang Imperial Seal of the Son of Heaven, thus adding unnecessary complications.

In fact, Mo Xie was overthinking it. After the Investiture of the Gods was put away, Qin Shi Huang did not cause any abnormalities, just like the other cultivators who were taken in.

"This thing is really a good thing!" Mo Xie looked at the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods in his hand with great satisfaction, feeling extremely happy.

Once this task is completed, the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip will become his personal property.

But as soon as the thought arose, Mo Xie suddenly froze on the spot, looking at the Investiture of the Gods in his hand with a complicated Investiture of the Gods.

"King Qi Wen, Qin Shi Huang, Crown Prince Yan, King Zhao Kang... Except for King Chu Qiong, the rulers of the other four states are all here. What is the shopkeeper up to?"

Thinking of this, Mo Xie couldn't help but shudder from the depths of his heart.

Forget it, I'll just return the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip to the old shopkeeper later.

Dubian Town, the Mysterious Bookstore.

When Ma Feifei returned, he immediately announced the disbandment of the group, telling everyone to go back to their rooms freely. But everyone knew what Ma Feifei meant: he wanted everyone to hurry home and open the treasure chests.

Lian Yi, in particular, had been eyeing the black treasure chest rewarded after clearing the Great Desolation Relic Ruins the whole way. If she hadn't been worried about being ambushed if she separated from Ma Feifei and the others, she would have parted ways with them long ago and gone somewhere else to open the treasure chest.

Even now, back in Dubian Town, Lian Yi didn't dare leave the Mysterious Bookstore. After Ma Feifei announced the end of the meeting, she went straight to the Bookstore and rented a private room, intending to open the treasure chest rewarded by the Great Desolation Relic in the room.

Ma Feifei didn't care about any of that; as long as Lian Yi paid, he didn't care what she did.

The most pressing matter was still the treasure chests from the Great Desolation Relic Ruins. Ma Feifei had been thinking about them the whole way, eager to know what kind of treasures were inside the private room.

"Crunch~"

After closing his bedroom door, Ma Feifei threw all the treasure chests onto the bed.

There was one black treasure chest and five red treasure chests; they weren't even big enough for the bed, and two of them had fallen to the ground.

The red treasure chests probably wouldn't be very surprising, and since there were even better black treasure chests here, Ma Feifei wasn't very interested and opened all five red treasure chests at once.

"Wow! They're all semi-divine artifacts! This Qi Xie must have been quite a figure in his time!" Ma Feifei exclaimed, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the five red treasure chests.

However, while these semi-divine artifacts were excellent, they were somewhat useless to him. Firstly, Ma Feifei had better artifacts, and secondly, Ma Feifei hardly needed their help in combat.

Either throw books at it, or throw Dragon Girl at it.

There's absolutely no need for a third thing.

After storing all the treasure chests into her spatial ring, Ma Feifei walked to the black treasure chest on the bed, rubbed her hands together, grabbed the clasp of the black treasure chest, and pulled it open.

"Buzz~"

A wisp of ancient, heavy, and weathered aura slowly flowed out, Ma Feifei's heart trembled, his hand lifting the treasure chest lid slowed down by a third.

"Crunch~"

The treasure chest was fully opened, Ma Feifei looked inside the black chest. A chessboard lay quietly inside, and from the patterns on the chessboard, it could be seen that it was a Chinese chess board.

On the chessboard, there are many three-dimensional chess pieces, such as those riding horses, those sitting on chariots, those pushing giant cannons, and those holding great swords and shields.

These are chess pieces, carved to lifelike detail. They stand at the starting point of a game, divided into black and white teams, with sixteen pieces on each side.

In the middle of the chessboard, a flowing river is dividing the board in two.

The Chu River Han Boundary!

"It's actually a chessboard."

Upon seeing that the treasure inside the black box was actually a chessboard, Ma Feifei instantly lost all interest. What was the point of giving him a chessboard? To cultivate his mind?

Don't joke around. He's just an ordinary person. He's fine with reading Human Book, but getting Ma Feifei to calm down and play chess is practically the same as putting him in jail.

With a "whoosh," Ma Feifei casually put the black treasure chest into his spatial ring. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the Bookstore to check out the book-fighting rewards offered by the system; that was his last hope.

"I hope it's not this kind of random stuff again," Ma Feifei thought anxiously as she walked into the Bookstore.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, Xiao Mo is back!" Before I even stepped into the Bookstore, there was a knock on the back door, along with Mo Xie's cheeky voice.

"What the hell is Xiao Mo? He's a monster who's been around for thousands of years, can't he have any self-awareness?" Ma Feifei really wanted to slap Mo Xie to death, that disgusting old monster.

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Ma Feifei remained calm on the surface, even with a slight smile, and opened the back door for Mo Xie.

"Crunch~"

The door opened, revealing Mo Xie with a fawning smile, "Hehe, shopkeeper, I haven't failed you, mission accomplished."

Mo Xie handed over the Investiture of the Gods with both hands, along with the God-Beating Whip.

"What? You don't want it anymore?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but tease Mo Xie when he saw Mo Xie's appearance. Mo Xie had been coveting the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip from the beginning, wishing he could have them for himself. But after going out for a run, he came back and immediately changed.

"These belong to you, shopkeeper. How could I, Xiao Mo, dare to take them? You're joking, shopkeeper." Even in the early autumn air, Mo Xie's forehead was beaded with sweat, clearly startled by these words.

What a joke! He personally invited everyone on the Investiture of the Gods. At first, Mo Xie didn't realize it, but after 'inviting' Qin Shi Huang away, Mo Xie discovered that the combined number of people on the Investiture of the Gods could shake the entire Azure Dragon Continent!

If it weren't for the task assigned by Ma Feifei, Mo Xie would never have dared to do this.

Moreover, it won't be long before the fact that Mo Xie kidnapped these important figures will be exposed, which would be equivalent to him offending the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

He is indeed at the Half-Immortal Realm, but that doesn't mean that Half-Immortal Realm can contend with the entire Azure Dragon Continent!

He could be drowned by the mere spit of anyone on the Azure Dragon Continent.

Mo Xie felt that he would probably have to stay in Dubian Town and seek Ma Feifei's protection from now on.
