Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 195: Three parties collude and hit it off
"Well, don't worry about these details..."
Tang Zheng didn't know what these coffins were made of. Anyway, the crowbar he made with his mediocre casting skills probably couldn't open these coffins.
But he didn't need to pry it open.
He stopped Tang Xiaotang and the others and asked them to step back.
Afterwards, instead of continuing to pry open the coffin, he moved two stones and pressed down the coffin that he had tried to pry open without success.
Ning Mo was a scout after all. When he saw how Tang Zheng handled it, he immediately asked, "Is it poisonous?"
Tang Zheng didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.
poisonous!
And he was not unfamiliar with this poison.
It seemed as if he had been connected with this phantom poison since he came to Xingyao Continent!
"What's in the coffin is... a life of debauchery!" Tang Zheng directly gave the name of the drug.
As soon as he said this, everyone gasped and subconsciously took another look at the densely packed coffins that looked like containers.
Live a life of luxury and debauchery!
My God, how much decadence and extravagance must be in this main tomb chamber?
"I said, there are only two kinds of things that have infrared-level security protection, one is antiques, and the other is...drugs."
Tang Zheng was not surprised at all at the appearance of those red night pearls.
"But this is Senior Leng's tomb!" Tang Xiaotang felt her scalp tingling when she looked at the coffins.
Leng Zhan's eyelids were twitching. This amount of extravagance and decadence was probably equivalent to the sales of the entire Xingyao Continent for ten years!
However, the key question is, how did they appear in Leng Xianyuan's main tomb and placed together with Leng Xianyuan's coffin?
"So, as I said just now, this tomb looks like it was completed, but was later dug out and reused." Tang Zheng spread his hands and looked at Ning Mo thoughtfully. "Not long ago, when I was investigating the mystery of Ning Mo's sister's disappearance, I still remember one thing..."
Ning Mo's expression changed: "There is a group of pangolin half-demons who built a secret passage for the City Lord's Mansion!"
At that time, Tang Zheng and the others were focused on the illicit love between Ning Mo's sister and a pangolin half-demon, and they didn't think deeply about where the secret passage led to ...
Now combined with Lu Wantang’s appearance and actions, the end of the secret passage seems to be revealed!
"But, it happened so long ago..." Ning Mo said doubtfully.
"As far as I know, if the finished product of the "Golden Life" is kept in an environment that is protected from wind and light, it can be stored for hundreds of years, and the loss of effect is less than 10%!"
"In other words, this might be Lu Tianji's and his men's inventory?" Tang Xiaotang asked, "But, didn't the follower of Lu Wantang who just died say that their map came from the demon tribe?"
Tang Zheng first shook his hand at Ning Mo, then pressed his hand to signal Tang Xiaotang to stay calm.
Then, he stretched out three fingers: "Let's sort them out one by one, otherwise it will be a mess! Now, we know that there are three parties involved in this secret passage. One of them is the demon tribe. Needless to say, we don't know what they want for the time being, anyway, it's impossible that they want to live a life of luxury."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
"Then, the second group is the City Lord's Mansion, which is the group of Lu Wantang, Lu Tianji and Xu Feng. According to Lu Wantang's followers, Lu Tianji wants something in Leng Xiangyuan's tomb that can ensure that after he is promoted to six stars, he can advance to seven stars without any trouble."
"Yeah." Another nod, no one interrupted.
"The last group of people is also the one that puzzles me the most. That's... Li Zhi! Logically speaking, although Li Zhi is a little smart and courageous, he is definitely not someone that the two groups I just mentioned would be interested in..." Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and knocked on the containers filled with extravagant things. "Even if they are interested in him, what do these people want? Unless..."
"Unless?" Tang Xiaotang blinked.
"Unless, they have always been a hidden force in the City Lord's Mansion... For example, if they want to participate in the extravagant business, Lu Tianji and Lu Wantang can't do it themselves, right?"
"Li Zhi and the others are the agents who help them do underground business?" Leng Zhan's fingers had turned white from pinching, but his voice was as indifferent as ever.
"Li Zhi... he probably doesn't have the qualifications yet. At most, he was just a small follower sent by the agent to the Leng family mausoleum. However, the fact that he was sent here shows that he is a very important and trusted person of the agent. He should... have a direct blood relationship with the agent!" Tang Zheng said as he sorted out his thoughts.
Lu Tianji was an agent in the extravagant business, so it was very likely that he knew about the secret passage in the City Lord's Mansion. No, it was even possible that they were the ones who were responsible for digging it.
Using Leng Xiangyuan's tomb as a warehouse to store extravagant things is really a good trick!
No matter which family it is, they would never think of coming to this place to check for drugs, right?
However, looking at the mess here, you can tell that something went wrong with this warehouse. This warehouse, which should have been manned and full of people working busily, is now deserted for some reason.
Thinking more unfriendly, Tang Zheng was almost certain that, because of the thing he hadn't figured out yet, all the original secret passages were unusable and the entrance had completely changed. Therefore, Lu Tianji and the others needed to find a way to enter Leng Xiangyuan's tomb from the main gate.
The demon tribe just happened to have a "friend" who provided the location of the main entrance and the correct way to enter the main tomb! Of course, the two sides hit it off!
"But, since the demon clan has such a detailed map of the main tomb, why don't they come by themselves?" Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but ask after hearing Tang Zheng mumbling a lot.
Tang Zheng could not answer this question, but someone who had fought against the demons could answer it.
Ning Mo shook his head when he heard this: "The monsters can't come here by themselves. Those pure-blooded monsters below three stars can only be regarded as monster beasts, and they can't even transform into human form. The three and four stars can't completely transform into human form, and because of the structure of their vocal cords, they can't master the language of Xingyao Continent... As for the five and six-star upper monsters, as long as they fight, the monster fire will still rise behind them... As for the seven-star chieftain-level masters who can even hide their monster fire, there are almost always big shots following them one-on-one whenever they make a move, so it is even more impossible for them to enter Feishi City."
"What about half-demons? Aren't there many half-demons in Xinjiang?"
“Not to mention the half-demons. They can’t practice and don’t have any star power. Even if they come, they may not be able to complete the tasks in the Hades Palace…”
Tang Xiaotang suddenly understood when she heard it.
Simply put, it is difficult for pure-blooded demons to enter Emerald City, and half-demons are useless.
Therefore, we have no choice but to cooperate with some scum among humans!
Crunch...
There was a sound of stale wood.
As soon as Tang Zheng finished speaking, he looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The lid of a coffin was opened from the inside...
