If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 144 I'm begging him
On the way to the mountains to find the tomb of Emperor Lie, Li Yanmo played the role of being honest, but Zhuge Moer on Li Yanmo's back was not honest at all. He kept whispering in Li Yanmo's ear and helped Li Yanmo introduce the geniuses present.

"This man is called Yang Tianding. He comes from the super sect Lieyang Sect. He is at the early stage of the Spiritualization Cultivation ...

"This man is called Luo Tong. He comes from the super sect Tianchi Mountain. He is at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Cultivation and is good at illusion."

"This man is called Fan Malang, from the super sect Immortal Valley, with a cultivation level of mid-stage Spiritualization and a physical cultivation."

"This person is..."

Without waiting for Zhuge Moer to introduce himself, the young man who had been responsible for carrying Zhuge Moer introduced himself, "I am Zhong Sanyuan of the Xinghe Three Transformations Sect. I am at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Breaking through to the Fusion Realm is just a thought away. My Life Creation Skill has reached the stage of endless reproduction. Beating those people you just introduced is as easy as beating my son."

Faced with Zhong Sanyuan's detailed self-introduction, Yang Tianding, Luo Tong, and Fan Malang's faces suddenly turned dark.

Hong Muer pointed at the three people and laughed without thinking of making trouble.

"Damn it—if you have the guts, suppress your cultivation!"

"Having a higher realm than you is also a skill. Do we still need to compete?" Zhong Sanyuan raised his finger and shook his head. "You guys are older than me. You really have lived in the toilet."

Xuan Lingzi and other disciples lowered their heads and covered their ears, fearing that they would hear something they shouldn't hear.

Li Yanmo rubbed his forehead and said, "Everyone, I have a question. If the defense formation of Nanyang City is broken, then Nanyang City will probably be massacred. Even if the remnants of the Fierce Emperor don't take the opportunity to shift the blame, we will not be able to escape the blame. What should we do then?"

Zhong Sanyuan shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Li, the fact that you were able to think of this shows that your sect has great foresight. You can rest assured that Nanyang City's protective formation is very strong. Even if these Sky-Devouring Locusts gnaw for eternity, they won't be able to break it."

"Why...why?"

"Because that formation was made by the Ministry of Works of the Dayu Dynasty."

"Oh, that's all right. The only remaining issue is the remnants of the Fierce Emperor. What is their attitude towards us?"

Li Yanmo pinched his chin, his eyes flashing with thought.

First of all, it is impossible for the remnants of Emperor Lie to exist in this world. Secondly, the purpose of the Taoist geniuses' trip is to find evidence to prove that their elders were framed, and they do not intend to have any conflicts with the Dayu Dynasty.

So who launched the attack on Du Shen?
When the remnants of the Fierce Emperor were mentioned, the expressions of the geniuses present also became serious. Zhong Sanyuan shook his head, "We don't know either. Since the fall of the Fierce Emperor, the Fierce Emperor Party has disappeared without a trace. But now it seems that the remnants of the Fierce Emperor have not disappeared and are still lurking in the Dayu Dynasty in some way. As for their attitude towards us..."

Zhong Sanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm afraid they're not friendly. They might be spying on us in some way."

This guy is really good at imagining things.

Li Yanmo sighed softly, "I hope this matter can be resolved amicably."

"I hope so—"

Zhong Sanyuan raised his index and middle fingers and placed them against his forehead, then slid them downwards. A crack slowly opened, revealing a golden eye.

Xuan Lingzi and others immediately exclaimed, while Luo Tong and others were shocked.

"Just showing off."

"There's no need to press one of your eyes."

"Sooner or later, he will dig it out."

Zhong Sanyuan hummed complacently, "If you three could tone down your sourness a bit, I'm almost unable to open my eyes."

The golden eyes scanned back and forth and soon locked onto one spot.

"Found it! The entrance to the Lie Emperor's Tomb is right here!"

Xuan Lingzi and other disciples of the Tianxiao Sect clenched their fists excitedly.

Every sect in Jingzhou has heard of the legend of the Fierce Emperor.

The expelled emperor, the taboos of the immortals, the sealed ancient battlefield, and the secrets coveted by many super sects are all buried in the tomb of the Fierce Emperor. Even if they get nothing, just a glimpse of the Fierce Emperor's tomb is worth the trip.

Xuan Lingzi and the others followed Zhong Sanyuan down with great anticipation, and what came into their sight was... an ordinary thatched hut.

"...Is this the tomb of Emperor Lie?"

Xuan Lingzi pressed his temples and tried to imagine the thatched hut in front of him as the entrance to a mysterious ancient tomb.

But it can't be done at all.

Xuan Lingzi released his spiritual sense to search without giving up, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace at all. This was just an ordinary thatched hut.

"It's the tomb of Emperor Lie."

"It really is the tomb of the Fierce Emperor."

Seeing that Zhong Sanyuan and others had serious faces, Xuan Lingzi and others had to try hard to put on an expression that said they were very powerful.

Zhuge Moer, who was on Li Yanmo's back, held his chin in his hand and sighed helplessly, "Before the mechanism was activated, this was just an ordinary thatched hut. Your judgment was correct."

Xuan Lingzi and others looked at Zhong Sanyuan with embarrassment on their faces.

"Yes, Miss Zhuge is right. This is the most pinnacle of the Zhuge family's creations, employing the Zhuge art of mechanical engineering to a state of perfection. If we hadn't gathered some intelligence in advance, we wouldn't have been able to discern anything even when we arrived at this thatched cottage."

Zhong Sanyuan reached out to untie Zhuge Liumu and said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhuge, please help us open the gate of Emperor Lie's tomb."

As soon as Zhuge Liumu stood firm, he put his hands on his hips.

"I, Zhuge Liumu, am the heir of the Zhuge family after all!"

"Wealth and honor cannot corrupt me! Poverty and humbleness cannot move me! Might and power cannot bend me!"

Zhuge Liumu's words were so powerful that even Xuan Lingzi and others were shocked and speechless.

Zhong Sanyuan was also stunned for a long time. After a long while, he asked cautiously, "Excuse me, what do these three sentences have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter much."

Zhuge Liumu deflated instantly.

"Young men, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the inheritance of Zhuge's magical device has long been lost, and this is my first time here. Even if you let me unlock the mechanism here, I'm still confused."

"Everyone, our family just wants to live a stable life."

Zhuge Liumu was wiping away tears as he spoke, looking extremely tired.

But that tiredness was caused by Zhuge Liumu gambling all night long.

"Mr. Zhuge, you're making it difficult for us," Zhong Sanyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "If possible, I don't want to use any extraordinary means."

Zhuge Liumu swallowed his saliva, "You, what do you want to do?"

Li Yanmo also became nervous.

Torture? Gu? Or... a direct soul search?
"Hmph—Mr. Zhuge, don't underestimate the means of our super sect. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for arranging people to take care of your life 24 hours a day. We will make sure you go to bed and wake up on time every day, wash yourself clean, and have clothes and food provided for you. All three meals are nutritionally balanced! During every holiday, we will take you to the most lively places for shopping and sightseeing!"

"...Fellow Daoist Zhong, are you threatening me?"

"Oh, no, I'm begging him."
