Conjectures

"Dead!"

"He's really dead! I heard a loud thud, like the sound of him dying, in the live stream!"

"This is completely different from when we were fooled by the grass before. I heard strange noises; he must be gone!"

"How would I know what he was going to do inside? He only took a couple of sips of wine; how would I know what he was thinking!"

"There's a purple light! Quick, quick, quick!"

Luo Zhong's exploration of the imperial tombs did not go smoothly.

With the collapse of the Luofu Dynasty, the burial of this last monarch was somewhat casual as there was no successor to oversee it; he was buried in an abandoned mausoleum.

If Luo Ke's imperial mausoleum area was small and the burial goods were average, then Luo Zhong's imperial mausoleum was an impoverished tomb.

It would be one thing if the tomb was poor, but the key issue is that Luo Zhong's mausoleum is new on the outside but old on the inside. It seems to be well-managed, but the tomb itself has already collapsed in many places and rats and ants have built nests there.

Exploring such a tomb is undoubtedly a headache, especially since the main hall of the mausoleum collapsed and Luo Zhong's imperial coffin was buried, and the group had to dig for quite a while.

When Zhou Yueyan received Zuo Jin's urgent communication, her expression changed drastically.

"Hurry, hurry, that thing is out, and it might have killed Zuo Quan!"

Zhou Yueyan urged him repeatedly.

Her expression changed slightly, sensing that the purple gladiolus in Luo Yan's tomb was different from the ones before.

Previously, the purple gladiolus could eliminate the biggest risk by blocking out the light, avoiding inhaling its scent, or avoiding getting its sap on it. But this time, things seem to be different.

If Zuo Quan dies in the mausoleum, she will have to reassess the risks or work with others to develop a new solution.

If Zuo Quan was simply confused and knocked over something, causing the noise, then there's nothing seriously wrong.

After communicating with everyone, she urged them on, and for a moment, everyone in the tomb moved with great speed, with some even using their genetic abilities to run quickly.

"If we had known that Luo Zhong's tomb was so desolate, we would have taken a casual look beforehand and avoided such a huge loss!"

Why don't you say that this disastrous outcome was caused by Zuo Quan's unauthorized actions?

"He shouldn't have drunk that two ounces of liquor. Zuo Quan's drinking manners are really terrible!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Take precautions!"

"Maintain communication with Zuo Jin, and be on guard against any unforeseen circumstances!"

"If Zuo Jin's communications are cut off, we must be on high alert!"

There was quick and brief communication as the group moved about.

Very few Lineage can maintain their strength for the Aristocratic Clan; the Zuo Household of today may be the Lineage of tomorrow.

Many people do not overstep the rules in their actions, and they are more reasonable than the older generation in handling affairs, resulting in the emergence of various ten-year plans.

Even if the two Zuo Household brothers are good-for-nothings, they are still members of the Sequence Committee. Their father's achievements are enough to protect these two good-for-nothings, which makes it acceptable to everyone.

Upon hearing the sudden news that Zuo Quan might have perished in the mausoleum, many people were shocked and immediately began a rescue operation.

"You run really fast!"

Zhang Xuezhou's speed wasn't slow, but compared to these sequence committee members, his running speed was nothing to boast about; only his cloud-riding technique gave him some advantage at high altitudes.

He had barely run a hundred paces before falling to the back of the pack. By the time he turned past a mound of yellow earth, there was no one in sight ahead.

A few scattered footsteps faded into the distance, followed by the sound of mountain bikes starting up.

This made him raise the camera in his hand, and in the end, he had no choice but to quickly move through the tomb passage.

When they emerged from the tomb, it was pitch black outside, with only a few members of the special task force remaining in the distance, holding flashlights and conducting temporary patrols.

"Zuo Jin just contacted Zhou Yueyan, but my communicator has no signal. This damn privilege is giving them special treatment again!"

Zhang Xuezhou took out his communicator and dialed Zhou Yueyan's number repeatedly, but the signal was lost, so Zhang Xuezhou had to stop calling.

He tugged at the 20-plus pounds of protective gear on his body, intending to take it off to get some fresh air, but then stopped himself when he thought of Zuo Quan's situation. He then climbed into the excavator that Zuo Quan had been driving.

"I wonder if there are any hidden grasses or chip fragments in Luo Chong's tomb?"

He pondered for a few seconds, then set up the camera again, but the Yang Soul within his body floated out and once again entered Luo Zhong's mausoleum.

Zhang Xuezhou was also taken aback by Zuo Quan's situation.

After locking the excavator's thick glass windows, he prepared to check the situation again.

Of the five imperial tombs excavated by the group, three tombs yielded purple sword orchids, and Zhang Xuezhou found Law Artifact that might belong to 'Huang Daoxian' in the first tomb. However, the tombs of Luo Yan and Luo Chong yielded nothing and even encountered problems.

This operation was undoubtedly not a complete success.

This was even a raid they launched after discovering something amiss, but the result was not satisfactory.

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't afraid that Zhou Yueyan, the temporary rotating chairperson, was out of her mind, but he genuinely disliked the situation Scarlet Alliance State was in chaos and turning into the British Alliance State.

The Scarlet Alliance State has experienced numerous upheavals, but these have not resulted in significant losses of manpower and resources, and the various conflicts have been resolved in their own way.

Society progresses by resolving conflicts and contradictions, rather than through large-scale killings.

No one wanted to accept the fate of Leiata City, and Zhang Xuezhou was doing his part in doing the same.

He does know a little more than others, but that's something he can't explain, and it could even backfire on him.

It must be said that Zhang Xuezhou himself is also a very selfish person.

He will only share his expertise or secrets if he can ensure his own safety.

If he can't do it, he won't utter a single word.

Some people can gamble with their lives, but his physical condition clearly doesn't allow for that.

"I will only reveal everything if I am forced to fight a final battle against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon!"

He muttered to himself, while Yang Po once again ventured into the dark mausoleum.

The collapsed tomb chamber with its blue bricks, the sunken loess pit, the stagnant pool, and the occasional scurrying rat...

Everything in the tomb was desolate and dilapidated.

Zhang Xuezhou's spirit drifted aimlessly, floating around Luo Chong's mausoleum.

"Luo Zhong died because Ren Aiguo attacked his heart with a sword, and then Luo Tianming pierced his vital points with silver needles, thus killing him. His initial fatal cause of death was not beheading. How did Luo Tianming know that Luo Zhong could come back to life after being beheaded? Why were things like the warm jade box and black jade ointment prepared in advance? His head wasn't chopped off randomly, but rather precisely. There's more to this than meets the eye..."

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't been standing in Luo Zhong's mausoleum, he wouldn't have made so many connections.

He had some extremely bold guesses in his mind, but there were still some things Zhang Xuezhou couldn't figure out.

"The exterior of this mausoleum is intact, but the interior is in a state of disarray. Could this be due to human intervention?"

"If Luo Zhong discovers that he has still fallen for Huang Daoxian's tricks even after becoming the world's number one, what will his reaction be?"

"Did you discover something was wrong with your body when you were stabbed in the heart and died, and thus cut off your lower body?"

"The part where grass grows is the head, and it even sprouts from the ears. If there's a problem with the lower body, what's hidden there?"

"Could it be one of those chips that can be twisted and misaligned?"

"Could Luo Chong be using death as an excuse to avoid disaster?"

"He underestimated Luo Tianming's greed, and Luo Tianming didn't act according to his orders?"

"Were the previous rebel forces within the Scarlet Alliance State commanded by Luo Tianming?"

"Was the grass seed the cause of the foul stench from Luo Zhong's head after his death?"

Various speculations kept surfacing in Zhang Xuezhou's mind, which made him consider the complex situation when the Luofu Empire collapsed, and even made him more accurate in judging Luo Tianming, so as not to underestimate human nature.
