There is Definitely Something Wrong with This Game

Chapter 90: The curtain opens

Tomb of the First Emperor.

It is said to be a mausoleum, but in fact it is like a city, built against the mountain. The reason why it was discovered was mainly because a shepherd was grazing sheep near the mausoleum and fell into a cave. The shepherd's family called friends to come to rescue, which led to the discovery of the entire mausoleum.

Afterwards, the current imperial court personally sent troops to blockade it.

A formal excavation of the tomb was carried out.

Now the main part of the mausoleum has been basically exposed. Those who know it naturally know that it is a mausoleum, but those who don’t know it may think it is a city buried deep underground. After investigating the entire palace, it can be basically confirmed that it imitates the basic structure of Xuanyang, the imperial capital of the pre-Qin period.

There are four floors in total.

Suburbs, outer city, inner city, and palace city.

The so-called suburbs are naturally the part that has been excavated now. The imperial court has almost explored this part, but unfortunately there is nothing there. There are only some bronze burial objects, which are not worth much money, not to mention the so-called eight sacred objects in the world. Not a single hair has been found.

Originally, the court planned to continue exploring.

But unfortunately, starting from the outer city, the imperial court encountered huge resistance. Several groups of troops died without exception after entering the outer city. The imperial court was forced to give up, especially a commander of the Imperial City Department who also died behind the mausoleum.

The imperial court dared not go down easily.

What should I do then

The power of the imperial court cannot be consumed at will, but the people of the martial arts world are a different matter.

So, at the suggestion of the Grand Commander of the Imperial City, the current emperor personally issued an imperial decree to recruit all the people in the martial arts world to come to the tomb of the First Emperor. Whoever can help the court explore the tomb thoroughly will be rewarded handsomely by the court, and the court can even share the eight sacred objects in the world with him.

Of course... that's all bullshit.

The fundamental purpose is to let people in the martial arts world know the existence of the Tomb of the First Emperor, especially the five righteous sects and the three evil religions. Those wandering cultivators in the martial arts world can only be cannon fodder at best. Only the eight major sects are the real main force. The eight divine objects in the world are also baits used by the court to lure out the eight major sects.

It was the fourth day after the God of Thieves’ night tour of Xiaoyao Sect.

In front of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

A group of soldiers from the Imperial City, dressed in black and red official uniforms and wearing goose feather swords on their waists, have gathered here. In order to show the sincerity of the court, this time the court withdrew the troops around the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Only in this way, those people and sects in the martial arts world dare to approach the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

And at this moment.

On a hill outside the tomb of the First Emperor, a man stood facing the wind, wearing a purple and gold official robe and a gold fish bag bestowed by the emperor tied around his waist. The purple robe and gold bag were the symbols of the third-rank officials of the court and even higher important officials. However, the patterns embroidered on this man's official robe were not those of the third rank or above.

For officials above the third rank, civil officials had embroidered unicorns, pheasants, and peacocks, while military officials had embroidered lions, tigers, and leopards.

However, the official uniform this man was wearing was embroidered with a nine-headed, footless golden dragon.

The current imperial court is called "Dayun". The uniforms of civil and military officials from the first to the ninth rank are the same. Yellow represents the center, so Emperor Dayun wears a five-clawed golden dragon robe. The other officials, from top to bottom, wear purple robes, scarlet robes, and green robes, but there is another kind of clothing besides these.

Only the emperor is qualified to bestow the footless golden dragon robe.

The implication is simple: second only to one man, above ten thousand men.

Looking at all the civil and military officials, there are only three people who have this honor. The first is naturally Prime Minister Dayun, the second is the Prince of Wuwei who is known as the God of War, and the third.

It’s the person in front of you.

Wang Zhixin, the Grand Commander of the Imperial City.

This man was born in a poor family. He was noticed by the emperor who was on a secret visit out of the palace. He was then brought into the palace for training. That’s how he achieved his accomplishments. After he was appointed as the Grand Commander of the Imperial City, he made many great contributions. Finally, he was bestowed with this footless golden dragon robe by Emperor Dayun.

A moment later, a soldier from the Imperial City Division trotted over and knelt on one knee.

"Sir, there is news from Xunlong Mansion."

"Show it up."

The soldier immediately held up a file. Wang Zhixin took it, unfolded it, and immediately frowned.

"... .Shang San is dead?"

"After Shangwu, Shangsan also died. It was really a troubled time."

The Imperial City Division has a total of five personal officers, all of whom are the Supreme Commanders of the Imperial City Division. Their code names are from one to five, and their cultivation is first-rate in the world. However, at the moment, the fifth died on the way to explore the tomb of the First Emperor, and the third died inexplicably dozens of miles outside the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate... .

"snort!"

After gushing out the internal force in his hand and crushing the file into pieces, Wang Zhixin snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the far east. After a moment, he revealed a cold smile.

A while later.

“Here it comes!”

As soon as the words fell.

Even the soldier kneeling on one knee beside him felt that the ground was shaking, as if thousands of people were walking towards this direction.

Dayun's troops have been transferred away.

To have this number of people, I think only... .

... .Jianghu people!

In just a few breaths, five groups of people appeared in the sight of everyone in the Imperial City. Perhaps in order to show the court a warning, the appearance of these five groups of people was extremely domineering. Five auras rose into the sky one after another, and they opened up five roads to the sky in the mountains and forests.

None of the five people who took action were weak.

If it were a first-rate fighter, he probably wouldn't dare to step forward at this time, so those who took action were all masters who had entered the Dao realm without exception.

Looking at the five avenues opened up in the forest and the large number of people coming out of them, Wang Zhixin's expression remained unchanged. He glanced around and then said:

"Dharma Temple, Xiaoyao Sect, Divine Fist Sect, Snake Worship Sect, White Lotus Sect."

"Only five of you?"

"Hahaha."

In response to Wang Zhixin's calling of names, one of the five leading men in the five groups, the leader of the Shenquan Sect mentioned by Wang Zhixin, stood up with a laugh.

"There is only one person from Wutong Valley, so they will not come here to cause trouble. As for the Demon Cult, they are now in trouble, so why would they come here? As for the Exiled Immortal Villa, they claim to be the descendants of immortals, so they will not come here to provoke the court casually, so naturally only we can come forward."

"Captain Wang, now that we are here, I wonder where your ambush troops are?"

“… ..!”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the Imperial City Bureau changed their expressions slightly.

Gu Moli is not the only smart person.

It is even more impossible that the eight major sects in the martial arts world are all fools. They naturally guessed that the imperial court might also use the tomb of the First Emperor to encircle and kill everyone in the martial arts world. So don’t be fooled by the domineering words of the leader of the Divine Fist Sect. If a large army really appears, he will definitely be the one who runs the fastest.

But this time the imperial court didn't play any tricks.

"If you suspect there is an ambush, you don't have to come, but I am a governor and I will not target you, so I won't do that."

"Besides, you should have checked before coming here. All of Dayun's troops have retreated. Within a hundred miles, the only force left by the imperial court is our Imperial City Division."

“I see.”

The leader of the Divine Fist Sect nodded seriously.

But at this moment.

The people from the White Lotus Cult suddenly stood up. The leader was a graceful middle-aged beauty who looked even more delicate than Mo Xinling from the Snake Cult. But the words she uttered made people feel cold in their hearts.

"I think so."

"Even if we kill the Grand Commander here, the court won't know about it so quickly, right?"

“… … ..”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell silent.

As the official organization of Dayun targeting the Jianghu, the Imperial City Division has done a lot of things like confiscating houses and exterminating families. The Jianghu sects are a thorn in the eyes of the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial City Division is also a thorn in the flesh of the Jianghu sects. Now that they have been reminded by the people of the White Lotus Sect, everyone thinks about it in their hearts... .

... .It seems to be ok!

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

And facing everyone's strange gaze.

"Oh."

Not only did Wang Zhixin not show any anger, but he laughed instead.

"Among the eight major sects in Jianghu, only the White Lotus Sect is the most abominable. It incites the masses with evil words and disrupts the legal system. If one day this governor is able to pacify Jianghu, he will first destroy the White Lotus Sect."

"!!!"

Before the White Lotus Sect could speak.

Wang Zhixin suddenly raised his hand, unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and a dazzling sword light like the sun appeared out of thin air! It chopped directly at all the people in front of him!
