Chapter 1434 - 1367: Infiltrating the Luk Family, an Even Greater Problem!

"What are you up to now?"

Luk Zheng looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

"Just making a mark!"

Qin Feiyang smiled, then placed the Imperial Jade Seal into a jade box and cut his wrist, allowing the purple-golden dragon blood to flow continuously into the jade box.

Before long.

The entire Imperial Jade Seal was submerged in the purple-golden dragon blood.

Luk Zheng watched this scene in amazement and asked, "Little cousin, have you ever considered one question?"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback and asked curiously, "What question?"

Luk Zheng said, "When the emperor initially exiled you from the Imperial Palace, could his motive have been to push you to desperation, triggering your potential so your bloodline could return to its ancestors?"

"Luk Zheng, are you a spy sent by the emperor?"

"What spy, he's just an idiot."

Fatty and the White-Eyed Wolf scoffed.

"I'm just sharing my guess, and it's not like it's impossible. Do you really need to ridicule me like this?"

Luk Zheng glared at them unhappily.

"It's absolutely impossible."

Fatty shook his finger firmly.

"Why?"

Luk Zheng asked suspiciously.

"Think about it."

"If it's really like you said, that the emperor exiled our boss from the Imperial Capital to awaken Xiao Qinzi's potential, pushing him to trigger his ancestral bloodline, now that Xiao Qinzi has achieved this, why would the emperor still continue to fight him?"

Fatty said.

Luk Zheng paused, then nodded, "That's true!"

Fatty sneered, "That's why we say, you're an idiot."

Luk Zheng rolled his eyes and looked at Qin Feiyang, saying, "But I always feel there's something hidden in all of this."

Qin Feiyang's gaze flickered, subtly asking, "Then what do you think is hidden?"

Luk Zheng's face darkened in annoyance, "Kid, you're really not being fair here, trying to get information out of me?"

Qin Feiyang gave an awkward smile, realizing this guy isn't that dumb!

Luk Zheng rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. What's your next plan?"

"What other plan could there be?"

"Naturally, continue battling the State Preceptor."

Qin Feiyang coldly smiled as he left the old castle, appearing within the great hall.

The State Preceptor immediately looked at the jade box in Qin Feiyang's hand.

"Take it."

Qin Feiyang sat on a chair and said indifferently.

The State Preceptor nodded to Yan Wei.

Yan Wei quickly walked over to Qin Feiyang, cupping the jade box in both hands, and returned to the State Preceptor's side.

The State Preceptor looked at the purple-golden dragon blood within the jade box, his face breaking into a wide smile as he clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, and I wish us a pleasant collaboration."

"It will definitely be pleasant."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.

The State Preceptor gave Qin Feiyang a deep look and then opened a portal, leaving with Yan Wei.

Qin Feiyang also re-entered the old castle, taking out the Beast Totem Chart and handing it to Luk Zheng, "Take it back to Second Grandpa for inspection to see if there's anything wrong with this divine artifact."

"You're being too cautious!"

Luk Zheng said speechlessly, catching the Beast Totem Chart and examining it curiously.

"Can't help it."

"Facing the State Preceptor, one must be cautious."

Qin Feiyang sighed.

Luk Zheng looked up at him and nodded helplessly, "Alright, I'll head back immediately. Who told me to have a troublesome cousin like you?"

"I haven't even complained about you being troublesome!"

Qin Feiyang gave him an intense glare, then waved his hand to send Luk Zheng back to the old castle.

Fatty's eyes shifted, and he quickly ran to Qin Feiyang's side, whispering sneakily.

After listening, Qin Feiyang frowned, "They clearly don't want to meet me? Isn't it inappropriate to rush over now?"

Fatty said, "At worst, we just don't reveal ourselves, and observe from the shadows."

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I've wanted to find out where the Luk Family is hiding anyway."

With that said.

He waved his hand, and a scene appeared in front of them, showing Luk Zheng entering the portal.

Qin Feiyang's eyes glinted as he maneuvered the old castle to follow.

...

At the same time.

Inside a courtyard.

The State Preceptor stood in the hall, looking at the jade box on the tea table, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

Yan Wei glanced at the jade box cautiously, then looked at the State Preceptor, "My lord, this humble servant still doesn't understand why we need Qin Feiyang's blood to forge a replica of the Imperial Jade Seal?"

The State Preceptor said, "You're mistaken, it's not Qin Feiyang's blood we need, but the purple-golden dragon blood."

"The purple-golden dragon blood?"

Yan Wei was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

The State Preceptor explained, "Back in the day, when the late emperor crafted the Imperial Jade Seal, he infused it with some purple-golden dragon blood, so the real Imperial Jade Seal carries the aura of the purple-golden dragon blood."

Yan Wei finally understood, "So that's why, my lord, you sought Qin Feiyang for the purple-golden dragon blood."

"There was no other way."

"In this world today, he is the only one with purple-golden dragon blood."

"Without his help, we can't deceive Emperor Hong."

The State Preceptor was filled with helplessness.

Yan Wei frowned, "But you didn't have to personally seek him out. Couldn't we have come up with another plan, like ambushing him to obtain his purple-golden dragon blood?"

"I considered other methods."

"But you know, recently, even with Zhuge Jinghong's constant provocations, and even insults to his mother, he hasn't reacted."

"Moreover, with his old castle, he can hide anytime he faces danger."

"Thus, I didn't want to waste time on that."

The State Preceptor said.

"Makes sense."

Yan Wei nodded and then said, "However, this humble servant still thinks that exchanging a divine artifact for purple-golden dragon blood is too high a price."

"It doesn't matter."

"A mere divine artifact doesn't concern me at all, as I can obtain one whenever I want."

"Moreover, a divine artifact that can't be revived is useless to him even if he gets it."

The State Preceptor sneered.

"Hm?"

Yan Wei was startled.

Such arrogance?

Does he think Divine Artifacts are as common as cabbages?

"My lord, your words frighten a humble person like me. How could a Divine Artifact be obtained so easily?"

Yan Wei didn't dare ask directly, so he probed indirectly.

The State Preceptor glanced at him indifferently, did not answer, and began integrating the purple-gold Dragon Blood.

Yan Wei no longer dared to make a sound.

Because speaking too much would lead to mistakes, and asking too many questions would surely arouse the State Preceptor's suspicion.

However, this matter must be quickly reported to Qin Feiyang.

If it is truly as the State Preceptor claims, there might be an unknown mysterious force backing him.

Otherwise, how could he make such bold statements?

...

At this time, it was the dead of night.

The dark night enveloped the mountains and rivers, shrouding everything in mystery.

A village nestled within a certain mountain range, where the villagers had all gone to sleep, rendering the place exceptionally quiet.

In front of one of the courtyards, an old man in linen lay on an ancient Taishi Chair, fanning himself and enjoying the moonlight.

He appeared quite at ease.

"Second Old Grandpa, I really envy your life, carefree all day long."

Suddenly.

A slightly envious voice spoke up.

Following that.

A dark-skinned young man appeared in front of the old man.

It was none other than Luk Zheng!

"I'm old and useless now, can only stay in the village, drink tea, and enjoy the moon. What's there to envy?"

"If there's anything to be envious of, it's this old man envying you young ones for your vigor, drive, and daring."

The Second Old Grandpa glanced at Luk Zheng and chuckled.

"Would you die if you stopped pretending?"

Luk Zheng pouted.

Of course, he only dared to mutter this to himself.

The Second Old Grandpa asked, "Why have you come back again?"

Luk Zheng immediately responded with dissatisfaction, "Strange, this is my home; I can come back whenever I like. Do you have to control that too?"

The Second Old Grandpa said helplessly, "I never said I wanted to control it, but if you come back, you must have a reason!"

Luk Zheng retorted angrily, "I don't understand why I can't return without a reason?"

The veins on the Second Old Grandpa's forehead bulged as he darkened his face, saying, "The generation gap between us is too large to chat."

"Heh heh."

"You finally said something right."

Luk Zheng chuckled mischievously.

"Are you looking for a beating?"

The Second Old Grandpa pretended to be angry.

Luk Zheng quickly moved back a few steps, waved his hands, and laughed, "Just kidding, take a look at this, is there any problem with it?"

Then,

Luk Zheng took out the Beast Totem Chart.

"Hm?"

The Second Old Grandpa looked at the Beast Totem Chart, eyes suddenly flashing with a glint, "It's actually a Divine Artifact, where did you find it?"

"How could I have the capability?"

"My little cousin extorted it from the State Preceptor."

Luk Zheng shook his head.

"That kid is really something, actually able to snatch a Divine Artifact from the State Preceptor."

The Second Old Grandpa's face was full of praise.

Luk Zheng said, "Second Old Grandpa, I somehow feel that in your eyes, this outsider grandson is more important than your own grandson like me?"

"What nonsense are you saying?"

"You all are my grandchildren, of course, I treat you equally."

"But I have to admit, he indeed shows more promise than you."

The Second Old Grandpa laughed.

Luk Zheng almost raised a middle finger.

The Second Old Grandpa took the Beast Totem Chart, studied it closely for a moment, and a hint of suspicion slowly crept into his aged eyes.

"Is there a problem?"

Luk Zheng noticed and asked suspiciously.

"Wait."

The Second Old Grandpa gestured to pause, released his Divine Sense, and immersed it into the Beast Totem Chart, the suspicion in his eyes deepening.

A moment later,

He withdrew his Divine Sense, shook his head, and said, "There's nothing wrong with the Beast Totem Chart, but I've discovered a bigger issue."

"Why does that sound so contradictory?"

Luk Zheng frowned.

Qin Feiyang was in the void above them at this moment, curiously observing the village, but when he heard the Second Old Grandpa's words, he immediately shifted his focus, locking onto the Second Old Grandpa.

The Second Old Grandpa was silent for a while, then looked up at Luk Zheng and asked, "Are you sure this Divine Artifact belonged to the State Preceptor?"

"Of course."

"The State Preceptor personally gave it to my little cousin."

Luk Zheng replied.

"Strange."

The Second Old Grandpa scrutinized the Beast Totem Chart again, his old face full of confusion.

"What's going on? Could you please make it clear?"

Luk Zheng said angrily.

The Second Old Grandpa said, "The current Divine Artifacts in the Great Qin Empire, I know them all, but this Beast Totem Chart, I've never seen it before?"

"What?"

Luk Zheng froze.

The Second Old Grandpa added, "Not only have I never seen it, but I've never even heard of it, and concerning the State Preceptor, I know him like the back of my hand. I am certain he didn't have this Divine Artifact before."

"Are you saying that this Divine Artifact is something the State Preceptor acquired recently?"

Luk Zheng asked in surprise.
