Nowhere to Sit, So He Couldn't Stay Idle

"How so?"

In the crowd, Lin Xie frowned as he looked at Liu Tianming on the stone chair.

So, the one who targeted me earlier wasn't the Liu Clan's imperial prince?

He'd already taken out a loan to spread rumors, and now he's only finding out?

"What a treacherous Liu Clan!"

Lin Xie took a deep breath:

"Whether it's real or fake, the portrait I left in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion back then should be accurate."

As he spoke, Lin Xie gave Lu Changzhi a deep look.

Other things might be wrong, but when compared with paintings, he refuses to believe there can be any error.

"Yue Clan."

Liu Tianming looked at Yue Peng:

"Now, is it as you wish?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Yue Peng, whose expression had returned to calm at some point. Hearing Liu Tianming's words, he merely smiled faintly.

"As expected of a candidate, truly exceptional."

Candidates?

Upon hearing this word, everyone was slightly taken aback.

"What are they talking about? Is this something we don't know?" someone asked, looking puzzled.

Liu Tianming frowned slightly.

He didn't know what the candidate meant either.

However, judging solely from the wording, it is by no means a good name.

After all, being a candidate already indicates that they are not qualified to be elected.

However, Liu Tianming did not say anything more.

He doesn't need to argue further.

Time will tell.

At present.

Liu Tianming slowly stood up.

That extraordinary feeling vanished immediately.

Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the stone chair gradually shrank and then flew into Liu Tianming's sea of consciousness.

"It seems that's almost certainly true," someone murmured softly.

If it didn't recognize a master, how could such an object directly enter one's sea of consciousness?

"That one on the Emperor Dao before..."

Someone turned their head and looked at Lu Changzhi, who was standing to the side.

Even now, Lu Changzhi's face still held an expression of disbelief.

All of this seemed too hard to accept, so much so that it took a long time to process.

"That's strange."

Someone looked at it for a moment, shook their head, and said in surprise:

"Even though he has a better background and more talent than me, I still feel sorry for him. It's really..."

Far away.

Yue Peng's gaze lingered on Lu Changzhi for a moment before returning to the Liu Clan.

Things have developed to this point.

It didn't matter to him who was genuine and who was fake between the two people.

Regardless of which one, as long as they are targeted by the Mystic Yang Realm, it won't be a bad thing for the Yue Clan.

"Next, I'll take my disciples to another place, making the world think this is a covert operation, thus reigniting their suspicions?"

Lu Changzhi's voice transmission rang in Liu Duanyuan's ear.

Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Changzhi, quite surprised.

"So, they're even offering advice now?"

Upon careful consideration, he had to admit it.

Lu Changzhi's suggestion was very useful and practical.

He nodded slightly at that moment:

"Be as careful as possible, and it's best to attract attention in a way that doesn't draw the world's attention."

After saying that, Liu Duanyuan looked at Lu Changzhi, who was nodding earnestly, and suddenly felt a sense of sincerity.

Then, he turned to ask Liu Tianming:

"Tianming, has that stone chair truly recognized its master?"

Liu Tianming said:

"Indeed, it has now been absorbed into my sea of consciousness and is at my disposal. I am currently digesting the information it contains."

"Is there something you need, Ancestor?"

"It's alright, you can continue." After responding, Liu Duanyuan's attention returned to Lu Changzhi.

The latter is doing exactly as he says.

He acted as cautiously as possible, and his departure was not abrupt.

However, this was ultimately within the scope of a local media hotspot, and no matter how careful they were, it was inevitable that someone would notice that Lu Changzhi and his group were moving away.

As expected, Liu Duanyuan soon heard some related discussions and doubts after he released his thoughts.

"It seems they're quietly leaving into the distance. Why are they leaving? It can't be that they can't handle the blow, can it? Is there some other reason?"

"I knew it! There must be something fishy going on here. The earlier recognition of the master might have been an act, otherwise why would they leave?"

"Leaving? Could it be that the Emperor's Tomb is about to appear? Is this argument intentional, designed to attract everyone's attention so that he can enter the tomb first and gain the upper hand?"

"..."

There are various guesses, and each one is different.

But most of them met Liu Duanyuan's expectations.

However, for no apparent reason, a faint sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

"Could it be that he's not what was previously speculated to be?"

This stone chair was indeed not handed over voluntarily at the time.

But now, it can be considered handed over.

And at this moment, it can be considered as cooperation.

When he first learned that Lu Changzhi hadn't told them about the imperial tomb, he did have some doubts—that Lu Changzhi's so-called honesty might just be an act.

But looking at it now...

Perhaps, in the end, he still had some misunderstandings about Lu Changzhi.

However, Liu Duanyuan quickly cleared these thoughts from his mind.

For the greater good, and for the future of the Liu Clan, someone must make the necessary sacrifices.

Although Lu Changzhi's actions were commendable, he was ultimately not a member of the Liu Clan.

Lu Changzhi was unaware of Liu Duanyuan's thoughts.

He only knows one thing.

There's nowhere to sit, but we can't just sit idly by.

Since that's the case, let's plan ahead.

Lin Xie provided very detailed information, including the specific method of entry.

That imperial tomb is an independent space, and it is not connected to this world.

At this point in time, it can be considered a forced entry.

This means that considerable effort will be required to build the connecting channels.

Of course, even with his current strength, these things are by no means easy to do, and they are time-consuming and laborious.

However, it seems that the Liu Clan was not unprepared.

That's enough.

Who doesn't prepare?

Moreover, he now holds a half- Liu Clan identity, and his ancestor is also in the Liu Clan.

Rounding down, I'm not an outsider.

According to another key point in the information provided by Lin Xie.

Forcibly connecting to the Emperor's Tomb will trigger the spatial power within the tomb, unleashing its force from the connection exit to kill the intruder.

To force your way in, you either need a powerful treasure to protect you, immense strength, or a sufficiently strong ability to control spatial power.

Otherwise, the opportunity right before your eyes could be turned into blood and flesh in an instant.

On this point, Lu Changzhi had to admit how meticulous and sincere the information Lin Xie had provided was.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to teach them step by step.

Of course, whether it's true or not, you'll have to try it yourself.

However, judging from the directional lines indicating Gu Chen's mission location...

The location of the entrance to the Emperor's Tomb is exactly the same as what Lin Xie mentioned.

It's still quite a distance away.

Lu Changzhi paused for a moment.

The next moment, his eyelids drooped slightly, as if he were resting.

Meanwhile, his mind had already entered the External Avatar amidst the crowd.
