I Really Just Wanted to Help

"Father, we should wait a little longer."

Liu Tianming spoke up.

"We've waited too long."

Liu Xun pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Tianming, can you still sense the aura of that Emperor Artifact?"

He could still sense it when he first went outside.

But now, it's starting to sense.

Um.

I felt nothing.

"Eh."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianming immediately let out a soft sound of surprise.

"Huh?!"

Liu Xun felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

"Tianming, you..."

Liu Xun had barely uttered a word when Liu Tianming spoke again:

"That shouldn't be the case."

Liu Xun's expression immediately changed.

After waiting for a while without any movement, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

Now look at Liu Tianming's reaction...

"What's wrong with Tianming?"

Liu Xun quickly pressed for more information.

Liu Tianming frowned deeply:

"I feel like I once owned it, but now, something feels off."

Now, when they tried to communicate with that Emperor Artifact, they were completely unable to find a way to do so.

This situation makes it seem more like he never made a pact with that Emperor Artifact.

But it definitely existed before.

"Broken!"

The moment Liu Xun finished speaking, he had already darted outside the formation.

Swish, swish, swish.

The surge of thought instantly enveloped all directions.

What happened?

Among the Liu Clan, countless members watched Liu Xun rush out, each with their own guesses.

They were all aware of the troubles the Liu Clan might encounter, and therefore remained in the clan.

Just now, that enormous chair appeared outside the Imperial Clan, and then, the Clan Chief appeared in a flash.

Many people secretly wondered if a powerful enemy was already attacking.

Brush.

Outside the formation.

Liu Duanyuan appeared beside Liu Xun, sensing Liu Xun's desperate attempt to search every direction with her mind, and immediately asked:

What happened?

Liu Xun transmitted his voice directly:

"That Emperor Artifact is gone."

"Which one?" Liu Duanyuan's expression changed slightly.

"Chair." Liu Xun said.

Liu Duanyuan's expression changed drastically.

Without uttering a word, he immediately enveloped all directions with his thoughts, just like Liu Xun.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other elders of the Liu Clan.

In an instant.

More ancestors emerged.

At first I was confused, then I learned about it, and then I joined the team.

Swish, swish, swish.

This moment.

For the first time, the territory inhabited by the Liu Clan was being given such importance and perceived with such detail.

On average, every piece of land and every empty space has been perceived and explored at least three times.

"We've been discovered?"

In the void.

Feeling the waves of probing probing coming in layers, Long Yang's expression immediately changed.

"No, we have to go."

Without any hesitation, Long Yang decisively got up and headed off into the distance.

While on the move.

Long Yang clearly felt that something was following him, and he became increasingly nervous.

"The Liu Clan is indeed very cautious in their actions."

Long Yang secretly regretted it.

"I should have known better than to stay here and wait. If the powerful members of the Liu Clan catch up with us, we'll be finished."

Even if he were completely unharmed, his cultivation level still wouldn't be able to compete with the experts of the Liu Clan.

"Third Uncle, you've really put the dragon in a difficult position!"

I was anxious at the same time, and thinking at the same time.

Until they have run a certain distance.

Long Yang suddenly realized.

"It seems the Liu Clan has no intention of pursuing us?"

Upon realizing this, Long Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I was just scaring myself."

Long Yang gently shook his head:

"But it's probably true, this so-called escape was indeed just a disguise."

The Liu Clan's current actions are quite clear.

It's obvious that they were being extremely cautious after obtaining the treasure.

Combining this with what had just happened, Long Yang now had a clear understanding of the entire incident.

Two possibilities.

Alternatively, this Black Tortoise was obtained from the Emperor's Tomb, and after being brought back by the Liu Clan, it successfully hatched.

Alternatively, this Black Tortoise is what the Liu Clan has been working on all along, and this imperial tomb is just a smokescreen to attract attention.

The latter possibility is even greater by comparison.

If I hadn't been injured by that damned guy, I definitely wouldn't be back now, and in that case, I would never have known about this.

But regardless of which possibility it is, these things are clearly all preordained.

First, they pretended to frame someone, and then they conducted this kind of investigation.

"Unfortunately, it still seems to have some shortcomings."

With a soft chuckle, Long Yang's face was filled with a smile.

"Third Uncle has already gone back to summon the dragon. Once that happens, you won't be able to keep this secret anytime soon."

Liu Clan.

Within the formation, Liu Xun and the other elders returned to the formation.

Liu Tianming stood still, but his expression was more complicated than before.

"Father, Ancestor."

Liu Tianming took a deep breath and said:

"You really can't find it?"

The questions were asked, but no one needed to answer them; the answers were already clear from the expressions on everyone's faces.

"Tianming." Liu Xun nodded slightly and asked:

"Is it just that chair that's missing?"

The other elders also looked over.

In the eyes of a few individuals, one could still vaguely discern a hint of hope.

Liu Tianming clenched his fist, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"It seems like they're all gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deathly silence enveloped the room.

The elders looked at each other.

In the end, I still didn't know what to say.

Although it's okay to lose something, it just so happens to be Emperor Artifact, and what's more, there are other Emperor Artifact inside this Emperor Artifact.

It wasn't just one family that was lost; it was the entire brood of them.

Liu Tianming seemed to realize the problem as well, clenching his fist repeatedly before finally speaking:

"Father, I really just wanted to help."

If he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he would never have believed that an object that had already recognized its master and given him a sense of mental control could betray him without him even realizing it.

Recalling how the Artifact Spirit kept calling him "godfather," and then look at what it's doing now.

At this moment, Liu Tianming felt as if he were being toyed with by a chair.

This kind of thing would be perfectly reasonable if it happened to any ordinary person.

But it shouldn't happen to me...

Some things, if you don't think about them, you're fine; but once you start thinking about them...

It's alright.

Seeing that Liu Tianming's expression was somewhat off, one of the Liu Clan elders spoke up, saying:

"This turn of events was unexpected even to us, so it's not your fault."

"Right."

Another elder of the Liu Clan also followed suit:

"It must be that man surnamed Lu who did this. The artifact was perfectly fine with him, so how did it end up like this with Tianming?"

These words immediately caused a stir among the expressions of all the elders present.

A clue has been found!
