LRAB Chapter 344: King Dust's Relics
Chapter 344: King Dust's Relics
After investigating for a long time based on the few clues left by Fanan before his death, Xiao and Fushe finally found a secret place.
"Is this secret place where Fa Nan stores his things? We have never been here before..."
Walking into the ruined secret realm, Fushe put his hand on his chin and looked around curiously.
"There are signs of vandalism everywhere, which may not be good news."
Xiao was also observing the situation in the secret realm and soon came to this conclusion.
The two then continued to go deeper and found that this secret place was not very big and there were no signs of any mechanisms. It should be just a simple secret room.
Some old personal belongings can be seen here, but most of them have been weathered beyond recognition. Fushe gently touched the pen on the table, and the pen turned into dust and fell onto the table.
And because of the falling dust, the entire table began to crumble into dust.
"Uh...I didn't mean to."
Fushe scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't use much force.
"Everything here turns to dust if touched, but there are obvious signs of human contact. There are also some bloodstains on the bed and the floor..."
Xiao squatted down beside the bed, carefully observed the dark red marks left on the bed, and confirmed that it was indeed blood.
"Perhaps this secret place was originally protected by some power, but after someone broke in, the power here gradually dissipated, and these unprotected objects gradually returned to their original state..."
Fushe also observed it, but did not rashly touch anything in the secret realm.
"It's possible, but it looks like there's nothing useful left here. Perhaps it was taken away by those people."
"We saw a group of treasure thieves on the way here. Should we go over and ask them?"
Xiao nodded, then looked up at Fushe and asked.
"Walk."
Fushe responded.
On this day, the treasure-hunting group was doing nothing as usual, when suddenly two god-like figures descended from the sky.
"Exalted Immortal, have mercy on me!"
Before the two men made a move, several sensible people in the treasure-stealing group had already knelt down and kowtowed.
"Tell me, who broke into the secret place over there, and where are the things inside!"
The tall Fushe looked down at the members of the treasure-stealing group kneeling on the ground and questioned them in a cold voice.
He was unusually tall, and with his four arms spread out, he looked ferocious. The treasure-stealing group member took a sneak peek and was so frightened that he knocked his head to the ground and dared not look up.
"That secret place over there was destroyed more than ten years ago. I heard from the boss that it was done by a traitor named Li Biao. It has nothing to do with us. We didn't take anything from it!"
The treasure-hunting group members with more "seniority" hurriedly explained, not daring to hide a single word, for fear that if they said a wrong word they would be crushed to death in the next second.
After all, Yakshas have been fighting for years, and they have a strong murderous aura. The slightest thought of theirs will make the mortals around them tremble all over.
"Li Biao?"
Fushe scratched his head in confusion, then continued to ask: "Tell us all his information!"
"S-Sir! I was young back then and didn't know much. How about you ask our boss?"
The treasure-stealing group member hurriedly explained. After all, he looked to be in his thirties and was only in his teens back then.
Fushe had no choice but to nod his head, and under his guidance, he led Xiao to attack another group of treasure thieves.
Under Fushe's questioning, the leader of the treasure-stealing group knelt on the ground and trembled as he explained what happened that year.
"Sir, Sir, we were active near the Layered Rock Abyss back then. One day, we intercepted a foreign student who was visiting her family from Xumi. She seemed to be a scholar of the Life Theory School. We kidnapped her then..."
"In the end, Li Biao got possessed and took that man away with him. We have been tracking him down ever since..."
Later, during an escape, Li Biao discovered this secret place and hid in it for a while.
After they escaped, the treasure-stealing groups discovered this secret place. They were stunned by the immortal relics hidden inside, and they have been reselling these things in secret ever since.
But even so, Li Biao had already been injured by the crossbow arrows of the treasure-stealing group while fleeing, and news of his death came not long after, leaving behind the pregnant Xumi student who had married him.
……
"Ah? Zhongli is looking for me?"
After returning to Xumi City, Nangong Ya was just about to take little Buyer and the others back to rest, but little Ruota suddenly popped his head out of the ground and explained something to Nangong Ya.
"Okay then, I'll go back and take a look. You help me take care of them."
Nangong Ya had no choice but to nod and pull the little Ruotu out of the soil, asking her to help her take care of little Buyer and the others.
"Well... that's fine. I don't believe they're going to drag me back to school like this."
Little Ruota hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed and took the hands of little Buyer and little Apep.
If those two guys try to drag me back to school again, I will... I will take them with me!
After handing the two little ones over to Xiao Ruotu, Nangong Ya randomly found a teleportation anchor point and returned to Liyue.
However, according to Xiao Ruotuo, Zhongli was waiting for him at Wangshu Inn, so Nangong Ya did not choose to teleport back to Liyue Harbor, but chose to teleport to Wangshu Inn.
"My benefactor, I finally get to see you!"
On the top floor of Wangshu Inn, Fushe, who was trying to pour wine for Zhongli, suddenly had his eyes light up and he quickly ran to Nangong Ya.
"Hey, Four-Armed Overlord... ahem, I mean, Fushe, are you back?"
Nangong Ya was a little surprised. After all, she remembered that it shouldn't have been long since she touched Fushe.
"Yes, benefactor. I just transformed back not long ago. Please take a seat quickly. The Emperor... Mr. Zhongli has been waiting for a long time."
Fushe nodded, then warmly invited Nangong Ya to take a seat.
"Uh... Zhongli, what do you want from me?"
After taking a seat, Nangong Ya looked at the tea in front of her and couldn't help but ask Zhongli in confusion.
"Well... I'm just a guide. You can ask Immortal Fushe about this matter."
Zhongli took a sip of tea and explained calmly.
Nangong Ya had no choice but to look at Fushe in confusion, and Fushe began to explain why he called her over.
When mentioning the relics of King Chen Guizhong, Zhongli paused slightly and recalled what happened when Nangong Ya was sealed in the mountains.
"Study this thing thoroughly, and give Xiaoya a surprise after the Demon God War..."
When I met Guizhong by chance, she was secretly studying something. When I asked her, she refused to answer, so I simply didn't care too much.
"Well, the relics of Guizhong and Fanan were resold by a group of treasure thieves. It's been more than ten years, and it's really troublesome to find them back..."
"But it doesn't matter, I have a way, wait for me!"
Nangong Ya thought for a moment and quickly figured something out. She stood up and ran towards the teleportation anchor point from which she came and disappeared into the Wangshu Inn.
Zhongli and the others were confused for a moment, but soon the teleportation anchor lit up again, and Nangong Ya ran over holding the somewhat dazed Nashida with one hand.
"Um, Xiaoya, where are you taking me?"
Nashida, who was being pulled over, couldn't help but ask. If she hadn't quickened her pace, she would have been pulled into the air like a badminton.
In this way, Nashida was pulled to the table by Nangong Ya and asked to sit down next to the table.
"You are?"
Nashida looked at Zhongli and the others in confusion, and subconsciously used the World Tree to confirm the identities of the people in front of her.
The immortals, Yakshas and...
Rock God Morax?!
The little fellow, who was only 500 years old, was obviously startled, and even his sitting posture straightened up subconsciously.
