Chapter 230.2
In the end, a total of nine Heavenly Khan tombs were discovered!
They surrounded the southwestern region, nearly one on every mountain!
The Great Luo Emperor was completely numb!
Nine tombs of the Heavenly Khan in his nation? Was heaven showing him too much favor?
It seemed like he had built his nation right on top of the Heavenly Khans burial grounds. Theyre dancing on his graves!
With nine tombs here, how could he distribute his forces to guard them?
They only had three Grandmasters and a limited number of Innate masters. How could they defend all of them?
It was completely full of holes. If they could guard three, they couldnt guard the other six! Even if they stretched themselves thin to guard six, that left three unguarded!
Even Grandmasters, as powerful as they are, cant be in two places at once!
By now, the outside world had already gone mad!
Nine tombs of the Heavenly Khan, he sure loved to dig!
Its not nine! Including the one on Great Xia Wanshou Mountain, that makes ten!
I just want to know, what did the Heavenly Khan need so many tombs for? He could fit his ancestors of eighteen generations in there with no problem!
Its nothing more than to confuse the world and hide the real tomb!
Of these nine tombs, only one is real, or maybe theyre all fake!
This world has gone crazy!
Other Grandmasters from different places came and mocked: Your Great Luo really is a land of geomantic omen, there are tombs everywhere! When I die, Ill have to pick a spot here to bury myself!
Thats true! Its like being neighbors with Heavenly Khan! Hahaha!
Because there were too many tombs, Great Luo simply didnt have the power to guard them all.
Treasure hunters started to go wild!
Still want to slaughter me? Lets see if I give you the chance!
If this tomb wont keep me, there will be others that will.
Ill go play in other tombs!
Seal them all if you can!
Many treasure hunters also integrated into the towns and villages of Great Luo, seizing supplies and striking back at Great Luo.
However, Great Luo had already dispatched troops to guard the major tombs and was unable to suppress these rioters, so chaos quickly ensued, resulting in heavy losses!
The money earned from the treasure hunters wasnt even enough to cover the losses!
The Great Luo Emperor became utterly distraught: Fairy Yufei, what do you think I should do?
Uhh Song Yufei was actually very troubled too, as she had never encountered such a situation before.
She couldnt help but think of a young figure in her mind.
If it were him, he would surely turn the situation around and resolve this matter perfectly, right?
Your Majesty, I think you should recall the soldiers suppressing the tombs, and, with the help of our Taoist Sect, we should be able to barely keep things under control! Song Yufei advised.
But what about the profits? asked the Great Luo Emperor.
He had finally gotten a taste of the spoils; how could he just give them up?
We have no choice but to give them up for now!
Song Yufei said with a wry smile. You must realize, with the outside world in chaos and the treasure hunters scattered, we cant make that money anymore! Its better to recall the troops to protect what we have. The people are the foundation of your realm!
The Great Luo Emperor reluctantly nodded in agreement.
So he gave the order to recall most of the soldiers.
After some effort, they finally managed to drive the martial artists out of the towns and suppress the riots.
However, after this incident, the towns of Great Luo declined even more.
By this time, the treasure hunters had mostly gathered at many Heavenly Khans tombs.
In every cave, there were hundreds of thousands of people looking for treasure.
Like a bustling market, people were coming and going every day.
The caves were still as winding and twisting as ever but not as dangerous or easy to get lost in as before.
However, many more traps had been added, mostly pits filled with excrement.
Not only beneath your feet but possibly above your head too.
After a week, no one had found the real tomb, but everyone had stirred up a lot of trouble.
They went in clean and came out stinky to high heaven.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey got drenched in urine again!
Ive lived so many years, and Ive never consumed as much feces and urine as I have this month!
Heavenly Khan really knows how to disgust people. How could he design such traps! If he werent already dead, Id definitely fight him for 300 rounds to the death!
Bragging! If he were alive, you wouldnt dare stand in front of him!
Id rather brag than eat crap!
Another week went by with no discoveries.
The various forces stationed here, along with the Grandmasters, were growing impatient.
Gentlemen, as we did before, lets just flatten the mountain to see if theres a tomb inside!
These nine tombs and nine mountains are quite a lot of work!
Do you have a better idea?
Uh no!
So we have to stick to the old method, one by one. Eventually, well find the real one!
What if none of them are real?
Then well just have to chalk it up to bad luck!
In the end, they decided to forcefully flatten the mountains to search for the tombs.
More than thirty Grandmasters joined forces and started with Yuhuang Mountain.
With so many powerful individuals, it took them four days to flatten the entire mountain, but they found nothing.
Next was Taijin Mountain, which also took four days and yielded no results.
Then came Wangdao Mountain, which took three days, again with no discovery.
In this manner, they flattened one mountain after another.
After a month, they had flattened all nine mountains suspected of containing the tomb of the Heavenly Khan, and still, they found nothing.
It seemed as if the heavens were playing a huge joke on them.
The Grandmasters were furious and cursed loudly.
Shit luck! We flattened nine mountains and found nothing but fake tombs!
What a complete waste of my time and energy!
Dont call on me for this kind of tomb again in the future!
Lets go. Its better to go back and meditate to improve our cultivation!
Disappointed, they left, and the million treasure hunters also left in dismay while leaving behind the devastated Great Luo.
On the other hand, Lin Beifan had a fruitful harvest.
After more than a month of effort, the Eight Master Hu, Ni Pusa, and two others he had taken in finally broke through to become Innate-level experts.
Additionally, Liu Wanqing from Four Seasons Valley also achieved the Innate level under her mothers guidance.
Great Xia had gained five more Innate experts!
Ding! Due to the players increase in national power, your strength has been synchronously boosted, rewarding you with Proud Cold Six Extreme!
Proud Cold Six Extreme, a top-tier saber technique that can transform into a massive Ice Saber Qi, freezing everything in its path. It needs to be used in conjunction with the Snow Drinking Mad Saber technique to unleash its full power! However, with the players profound strength, there are no such restrictions
Lin Beifan learned this saber technique.
His strength had taken another small step forward!
I wonder how I compare to the other Great Grandmasters in terms of strength? Lin Beifan pondered deeply.
