C181 The Mausoleum of the King



C181 The Mausoleum of the King

0Shen Yih had never forgotten about this!    

    

Especially when he had fully accepted his identity. He knew that the grudge between him and the Chen Family was fated. There was no room for choice.    

    

Xiahou Lieh was still arguing with Xiahou Mu, and Xiahou Lieh was too straightforward. How could he be a match for an old fox like Xiahou Mu?    

    

He made Xiahou Mu's face turn red with anger, but even so, Xiahou Lieh didn't forget to give Shen Yih a chance.    

    

"Is that Zhu Chen from the Chen Family really powerful?" At this moment, Shen Yih suddenly asked in a flat tone.    

    

"Hehe, does that even need to be said? Young man, your name is Shen Yih, right?" Xiahou Mu looked at Shen Yih with a pair of frosty eyes and shook his head. "You may have used some special method to force the Toad Wood Ancient Snake to explode, and used it to deceive Xiahou Lieh. But do you think you can deceive me? "    

    

Shen Yih laughed involuntarily. He had no interest in explaining the other party's guess.    

    

"Young man, it is better to be a man of integrity. Don't meddle in things that you should not interfere with. Otherwise, you might lose your life at any time." Xiahou Mu said with a hidden meaning in his words.    

    

"Since you think that Zhu Chen is very powerful, I will just fight him when he comes. Why do you need so much nonsense?" Shen Yih shook his head and said.    

    

"You want to fight Zhu Chen?" Xiahou Mu wanted to mock Shen Yih for overestimating himself, but when he saw Shen Yih's nonchalant attitude, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.    

    

Could it be that this kid really had some kind of assurance?    

    

"This is a good idea. Let the two of them have a fight. I know who is stronger and who is weaker."    

    

"But that Zhu Chen is a member of the Chen Family, and we are the ones who invited him over to help us. "I'm afraid that Zhu Chen won't be willing to let them have a fight, right?"    

    

"After all, our Xiahou Family is a noble family. How can our resources be so easy to obtain? I think we should have a fight and see how strong that Zhu Chen is."    

    

"Hehe."    

    

While everyone was arguing, Xiahou Guang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile. "This is a good suggestion. Since both of you can't fight it out, let them fight it out."    

    

Xiahou Mu still wanted to refuse, but Xiahou Guang didn't give him the chance to do so. Instead, he said, "This War of Celestial Chosen depends on one's strength. If Zhu Chen really has the strength, why would he be afraid of proving it? At that time, whoever wins will be trained by the Xiahou Family with all our strength! "    

    

Initially, Xiahou Guang was a little dissatisfied that Xiahou Lieh had only found one Eighth Layer of Sight Stage genius to join the War of Celestial Chosen. However, he didn't expect that Shen Yih, a Eighth Layer of Sight Stage genius, would have the courage to initiate a fight. This made him praise Shen Yih even more.    

    

Xiahou Mu's expression was gloomy, and his facial expression kept changing.    

    

He wanted to refuse, but Xiahou Guang was the patriarch after all, and this request wasn't too much.    

    

He thought about it again and again, and felt that this Shen Yih was just courting death. He was merely a Eighth Layer of Sight Stage, and he might have used some special method to kill a Toad Wood Ancient Snake. He didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He simply didn't understand how terrifying Zhu Chen was.    

    

This Zhu Chen was one of the slaves from the Chen Family with a foreign surname, and his talent was quite outstanding.    

    

Furthermore, he had been carefully nurtured by the Chen Family since he was young. With the Cultivation Technique from a first-class family like the Chen Family and his own innate talent, Zhu Chen's strength was already unfathomable.    

    

Even those geniuses of ordinary noble families might not be his match.    

    

Whether it was in terms of background or cultivation realm, Zhu Chen had far surpassed this Shen Yih who came out of nowhere.    

    

Shen Yih, what could he use to win?    

    

"Since the patriarch has agreed, I naturally have no objections. However, if some self-proclaimed geniuses accidentally die in the arena, don't blame our Xiahou Family." Xiahou Mu narrowed his eyes and said.    

    

"You have to take responsibility for your own life and death." Shen Yih said in a flat tone.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Xiahou Mu coldly said, "Okay." Then he flicked his sleeves and left.    

    

When the others saw Xiahou Mu leave, they also chose to take their leave.    

    

However, on the surface, they agreed to Shen Yih's suggestion, but in fact, none of them were optimistic about Shen Yih. They all thought that Shen Yih was just courting death.    

    

The main thing they wanted to see was whether Zhu Chen's strength could help Xiahou Family get through this crisis.    

    

Just now, this place was filled with people, and soon, Xiahou Lieh was the only one left.    

    

Seeing that the others had gone far away, Xiahou Lieh let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Shen Yih, I'm really sorry that I let you see a joke just now. I didn't think that Zhu Chen would suddenly appear. "    

    

"It doesn't matter." Shen Yih said.    

    

"However, brother Shen Yih, this Zhu Chen has already reached the half-step Taoist realm, and he also has the support of the Chen Family. " I'm absolutely no match for him. I wonder if you are confident? " Xiahou Lieh asked worriedly.    

    

"He is just a half-step Taoist. I will take his life." Shen Yih said in a flat tone.    

    

Initially, Shen Yih had no interest in this matter.    

    

Even in the War of Celestial Chosen, it was the Xiahou Family who had come to ask for his help, not the Xiahou Family. Not to mention the fact that he was going to fight Zhu Chen.    

    

However, after learning that Zhu Chen was a member of the Chen Family, Shen Yih changed his mind.    

    

With his current cultivation, it was not the time to take revenge on his father.    

    

However, why not use this opportunity to teach a genius with another surname from the Chen Family and destroy the Chen Family's plot?    

    

"Brother Shen Yih, it's good that you have such confidence. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can defeat him, that's all." Seeing Shen Yih's decisive answer, Xiahou Lieh revealed a relaxed smile and said: "This battle will affect the future of our Xiahou Family."    

    

"If we let Zhu Chen take advantage of us this time, even my father will have to agree to the conditions of the Chen Family and choose to become a vassal family of the Chen Family." Xiahou Lieh sighed.    

    

"But I'm not willing to accept it!"    

    

"I really can't accept our Xiahou Family becoming a vassal of the Chen Family and letting them lead us by the nose."    

    

Xiahou Lieh's eyes were filled with unwillingness.    

    

The Xiahou Family used to be a first-class noble family, but now, they were going to become a vassal of another family. How could he be willing to do so?    

    

Shen Yih nodded slightly. He understood what Xiahou Lieh was thinking, but he asked curiously. "Why is the Chen Family so interested in the Xiahou Family?"    

    

In the dynasty, there were many noble families like the Chen Family. There must be a lot of families. They wanted to take the initiative to become the vassal of a first-class noble family like the Chen Family. They wanted protection and development. As for the Xiahou Family, to be honest, even though Shen Yih had just arrived, he could tell that their situation was not good.    

0

    

Currently, the Xiahou Family was still considered a noble in name. But in fact, their strength was not even comparable to those ordinary families.    

    

There was no need for the Chen Family to spend so much effort to make them their vassals.    

    

"This..." Xiahou Lieh knitted his brows and hesitated for a long time. After all, this matter was related to the secret of the Xiahou Family. Shen Yih was an outsider, he shouldn't have said it.    

    

But now, Shen Yih was already on the same boat as him. There was no need to hide this matter anymore.    

    

Xiahou Lieh let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Shen Yih, since you asked, then I won't hide it from you. Although Xiahou Family is a noble family, we are not worthy of the Chen Family's eyes. The Chen Family, they want us to become their vassal family because of the Tomb of King! "    

    

Tomb of King?    

    

Shen Yih's interest was immediately piqued.    

    

"Tomb of King is a Expert from the royal family, his tomb. It's said that it contains all the treasures of this Sovereign King." Xiahou Lieh said seriously, "When this tomb was built, the ancestors of our Xiahou Family participated in it personally."    

    

"Many of the formations in this tomb were set up by my ancestors. Besides, my ancestors were very familiar with the structure and environment of the tomb. "    

    

He had never thought that the Xiahou Family had such a history, but it was understandable when he thought of the Spirit Gathering Formation in their mansion.    

    

The Xiahou Family wouldn't be in such dire straits when they were still ancestors.    

    

A formation master. That was a very popular occupation.    

    

Xiahou Lieh paused for a moment before continuing, "Now that thousands of years have passed, the seal at the entrance of the Tomb of King has gradually loosened. However, because the seal has yet to be completely undone, only geniuses under the age of thirty can enter."    

    

"Therefore, the opening of the Tomb of King is a very important opportunity for those geniuses who have yet to fully grasp it in the War of Celestial Chosen."    

    

"As long as I can obtain the treasure and inheritance left behind by the 'Sovereign King', I will be able to soar into the sky and change my destiny in the War of Celestial Chosen!" Xiahou Lieh said excitedly.    

    

The opening of the Tomb of King was of utmost importance to him. Because he had been stuck at the Peak of Sight Stage for too long. The opening of the Tomb of King had given him a chance to break through to the Sight Stage.    

    

As long as he could break through to the True Human Stage, even without Shen Yih and Zhu Chen's help, the Xiahou Family wouldn't have fallen into a situation where no geniuses could use them.    

    

Shen Yih nodded his head slightly. This seal could only be loosened after a thousand years. It could be seen that the 'King' back then was also a mighty figure.    

    

If there really was a treasure hidden in this place, it would be worth a trip.    

    

"Brother Shen Yih, do you understand now? What the Chen Family values isn't our Xiahou Family, but our Xiahou Family's understanding of the construction and environment of this tomb. They want us to be their guide and lead them to find the treasure in the Tomb of King. " Xiahou Lieh sighed.    

    

The opening of the Tomb of King was also a chance for the Xiahou Family to change their fate.    

    

However, once they became a vassal of the Chen Family and became the guide of the Chen Family, they might not even be able to drink a mouthful of soup. They might even lose their lives.    

    

Besides, the Xiahou Family was a noble family after all. They had the pride of a noble family. If there was any other way, why would they agree to the Chen Family's conditions?    

    

In this way, not only would they lose the chance to seize the treasure, they would also make the Xiahou Family a dog of the Chen Family.    

    

However, Xiahou Mu and Xiahou Mian had obviously been bribed by the Chen Family. Furthermore, the War of Celestial Chosen was the top priority right now. The Xiahou Family had yet to find a suitable candidate to join the War of Celestial Chosen. As the patriarch, Xiahou Guang had long lost the right to speak.    

    

Regarding other matters, those Elders might still support the patriarch's decision. But on this matter, it wasn't only about the future of Xiahou Family, but also their own personal interests. Naturally, they wouldn't continue to support Xiahou Guang.    

    

This time, if Shen Yih lost to Zhu Chen, proving that only by becoming a vassal of Chen Family would he be able to survive, Xiahou Guang would lose his right to speak.    

    

However, Xiahou Lieh was afraid that these things would cause psychological pressure to Shen Yih. He didn't tell Xiahou Lieh about it, but Shen Yih had already seen through it.    

    

This kind of internal dispute... In his previous life, he had seen too many of them.    

    

Regarding this matter, Shen Yih had decided to help Xiahou Lieh. This was because he had a life-and-death grudge with the Chen Family. How could he watch the Xiahou Family become a vassal of the Chen Family and see the strength of the enemy grow?    

    

Secondly, he was also very interested in the Tomb of King.
