The Method to Open the Mausoleum

After explaining a few words to everyone, Tang Yu helped Old He into a guest room and began to treat the old man with acupuncture.

Lu Junzhuo then helped out from the side.

Chi Yin and Ling Han went to help buy medicinal herbs and brew the medicine.

After spending most of the day on treatment...

Old He was lying in bed, finally regained consciousness.

After waking up Old He slowly sat up in bed, his eyes now incredibly sharp.

The invisible aura emanating from him made Chi Yin Ling Han feel a sense of pressure.

Tang Yu stood still, unmoved. This old fellow's cultivation had recovered somewhat after he recovered from his illness.

However, he has not yet fully recovered to the Celestial Realm.

Even if he returned to the Celestial Realm, he would pose little threat to Tang Yu in his current state.

How are you feeling?

Seeing that Old He was still a little out of sorts, Tang Yu took the initiative to ask.

Old He just looked at Tang Yu with a pained expression.

After being cured by Tang Yu, he regained his original memories and his mind was no different from that of an ordinary person.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt immense pain, and he looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Why did you heal me?"

He was living in constant pain back then.

He eventually went insane and became mentally ill, as if he had become a completely different person.

Now that he has recovered and regained consciousness, he only feels immense pain.

"We need to ask you something, you traitor to the Nine Heavens Alliance. Wasn't it you who helped Ye Feilong open the tomb door back then?"

Tang Yu asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the words "traitor to the Nine Heavens Alliance, "Old He's body and face instantly contorted with humiliation, his fists clenching tightly like a wild beast about to go berserk.

Lu Junzhuo and the other two frowned, ready to make a move at any moment.

Fortunately, after a brief stalemate, Old He sighed with a desolate expression.

"You're not wrong, I am indeed a traitor."

"Let's talk. I'm quite curious about what conditions Ye Feilong promised you back then that made you willing to become a traitor."

Tang Yu wasn't worried about Old He turning against her. She pulled up a chair, sat down, and smiled.

Old He sighed and began to explain to Tang Yu in a low voice.

As the elder guarding the tomb, his loyalty to the Nine Heavens Alliance is beyond question.

Only when Ye Feilong came knocking on his door did he learn that his most beloved daughter had been controlled by Ye Feilong with poison.

He lost his wife early in life and has always valued his daughter, who looks remarkably like her, more than his own life.

After struggling repeatedly, he had no choice but to compromise with Ye Feilong.

Ye Feilong agreed at the time.

After the deed is done, he will not only detoxify his daughter, but also train her to become a second-level expert in the Celestial Realm.

However, the plan ultimately failed, and many people died on both the Qiu Family and the Nine Heavens Alliance.

His daughter was among them.

In a daze, he ultimately chose to carry his daughter's body and escape from the Nine Heavens Alliance amidst the chaos.

After finding a beautiful place to bury her, Old He went completely mad.

After Old He finished speaking, Tang Yu frowned and asked, "So the Ye Family did it for the Nine Dragons Array? Besides improving cultivation, what other use does the Nine Dragons Array have?"

"Suppressing the nation's destiny."

As the elder guarding the tomb and having dealt with Ye Feilong before, Old He was quite knowledgeable about the Nine Dragons Array, and he explained.

"To be precise, it's about accumulating national fortune, like a reservoir gathering water in this place. As long as the national fortune endures, the country will naturally prosper. Ye Feilong, this madman, is trying to steal the national fortune and integrate it into himself and the Ye Family."

"The fate of the nation."

Upon hearing the concept of national destiny, Tang Yu smiled and said, "I heard the Grand Elder make a similar statement before, but isn't this a bit too vague and unrealistic? The prosperity of a nation depends on the efforts of everyone."

"Of course, it requires collective effort, but as the saying goes, 'Man proposes, God disposes,' you should understand that."

Old He explained.

Tang Yu nodded. Hard work is one thing, but luck is also quite important.

"So how does Ye Feilong plan to seize the Nine Dragons Array?"

Tang Yu asked him the question he was most concerned about.

"This person is learned and proficient in everything, how could I possibly fathom his thoughts? However, he did prepare something when he broke the formation last time, but I don't know the specifics."

Even though Old He harbored deep resentment towards Ye Feilong, he couldn't help but feel a profound sense of admiration when talking about the man.

"Understood."

Tang Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you to teach me how to open the door."

"What do you want to do?" Old He frowned and said, "Besides, it involves the Nine Palaces Grid of Qimen Dunjia, and it's not something you can learn in a day."

"You just keep teaching him. Ye Feilong killed your daughter, so I'll kill his grandson for you."

Tang Yu chuckled.

Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Old He no longer hesitated and taught Tang Yu everything he had learned in his life.

Tang Yu listened while simultaneously trying to process the information using Quick Mastery Technique.

After listening, Tang Yu nodded and smiled, "I understand."

"You really understand?" Old He looked at Tang Yu with a puzzled expression.

This guy thinks it's as simple as memorizing multiplication tables?

"Our Young Master Tang is amazing!" Chi Yin couldn't help but mutter from behind.

Young Master Tang practices ancient martial arts as casually as eating and drinking; what's so special about some kind of Qimen Dunjia?

"When are you going back to the Nine Heavens Alliance? Do you want me to go with you?"

Old He asked with a complicated expression.

"Taking you there will expose my identity. Besides, you're a traitor. If I go back with you, I'll never be able to clear my name, even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Tang Yu waved his hand.

He planned to interfere with Ye Qiu while he was breaking the formation, and steal the item that Old Loach had given him to break the formation, so that Old Loach would never have a chance to get it again.

If we don't do this, even if we kill one Ye Qiu, who knows where the next Ye Qiu will be hiding?

I can't possibly stay in the Nine Heavens Alliance as a tomb-guarding elder forever, can I?

"All right."

Old He looked somewhat guilty. No matter what, he bore an unshirkable responsibility for the tragedy that befell the Nine Heavens Alliance back then.

After this is all over, he will return to the Nine Heavens Alliance and accept punishment as a traitor.

After obtaining enough information from Old He

Tang Yu and his three companions returned downstairs. Lu Junzhuo looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Young Master Tang, what are your plans next? Do you need our help?"

Go and buy some supplies for me.

Tang Yu sent the required supplies to Lu Junzhuo via her mobile phone.

Lu Junzhuo glanced at them and gave a wry smile, saying, "These can only be obtained from the black market; it might take me a day."

This level of prohibited items is less of a problem abroad.

The controls within Huaxia are too strict, making it quite troublesome to obtain them.

"OK."

Tang Yu nodded and then asked Lu Junzhuo to purchase these items.

Then his phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, he realized it was Liu Ruyan calling.

As soon as I pressed the answer button, a sweet, coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone. "Daddy, I want it~"

"..."
