Open the door, fellow countryman, we are one.

Chapter 29 That’s not the plan!

Blue Star, ancient city.

The fog has dissipated, and dust has replaced the fog, blurring the vision.

Excavators, drones, and various machines are working underground, digging this ancient city.

However, all excavation work soon stopped, the computer screens quickly went black, and one drone after another was destroyed.

"Damn it! Five days, five whole days. How many traps have they buried under the city?"

The leaders of the four countries were stunned, and Li Yunchang and the others also looked very ugly.

There are indeed extensive passages underground, but there are also traps and poisonous gases.

They can only explore with drones.

"What I'm most worried about now is whether there is an exit under the stone house."

Li Changle said coldly, "My brother is too cunning and ruthless. He will probably leave no chance of survival."

"How about breaking through from above?" Li Qian suggested: "From a distance, slowly grinding, we should be able to rescue them."

"We have made a new discovery. Our drone has finally arrived under the stone house."

Yun Mo, a diplomat from the Yun Kingdom, was so excited that he lost his composure. One of their drones had arrived successfully.

Everyone gathered together quickly, and under the stone house, there was indeed a huge stone slab that sealed off the five stone houses.

Thirty-six huge stone pillars support the stone slabs.

"It's the same stone slab, I'm afraid it's the same. The mercury exacerbates the poison. How can it pass?"

Chen Xuan of Qianguo said solemnly: "The poison is too strong. Our gas masks can't block it."

This is the biggest problem. Their best protective clothing can actually be corroded by poisonous gas.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with Li Yi to develop such a horrible poison.

"Damn it!" Li Yunchang gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "Doesn't he just want to get the ancient artifact? There are traps and poisonous mercury. How is he going to get in by himself?"

"Yeah, how did he get in by himself?" Everyone was stunned, their eyes gleaming: "He can't possibly block his own way in, right?"

"There must be a solution. Let's take a closer look." Yun Mo quickly asked someone to control the drone and record everything inside.

The photos were sent back, and a large number of talents from the four countries analyzed them and looked for relevant clues.

"Is there any news about Li Yi?" Li Changle asked.

"No, we investigated everyone named Li Yi across the country, and none of them matched the criteria."

The four countries shook their heads at the same time.

They started investigating immediately.

There are many people named Li Yi, but now they are basically ordinary people. Some of them are lucky enough to invite heroic spirits, but unfortunately, they are all ordinary practitioners.

"There is another thing. Another tomb of Li Yi was unearthed. He was a robber during his lifetime. Inside the tomb was a broken semi-circular jade pendant. This is a photo of the jade pendant." Yun Mo said.

"Robber? There are really a lot of people named Li Yi in the Only Real World." Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed.

"That's not right." Crown Prince Li Qian suddenly frowned. "Chen Xuan Gu was once a bandit. Li Yi calls him Big Brother, and he was also a bandit."

"What did you say? Li Yi was a robber?" Wang He and others were stunned.

"The friendship between Li Yi and Chen Xuan Gu is indeed puzzling, but their ages don't match." Li Changle frowned.

Li Qian said calmly: "Don't forget, Li Yi is from the future. What if he got a few ancient artifacts?"

Everyone was shocked. Yes, if Li Yi had many ancient artifacts, he could enter with a new identity after his death.

"It's really possible. They are all Li Yi, so they can complete so many plans!"

Li Yunchang suddenly realized: "I understand now. His ability to control the world is not due to his status as the Third Prince, but the accumulation of multiple identities."

"Li Youdao, it's him too!" Li Changle said coldly, "I couldn't understand it at first. How could Li Youdao, a man from the future, be so loyal to the Third Prince? It's all because of him!"

Who would surrender to the other party if they could enter the only true world?
Even if the other person is from later generations, we are equal in our hearts. How can we be inferior to others?
If they were the same person, then it made sense. "Saint Emperor Mo Li was a member of the bandits back then, yet he calls Li Yi his father. So the bandit Li Yi must be him!"

Bringing everything together, everything becomes clear.

"I have asked someone to deliver the jade pendant." Yun Mo said.

"Continue to send in the drones, and the robots as well. The traps in the passage have been mostly cleared."

King He of Yan State pondered and said, "There is nothing unusual about the stone slab. We need to examine it inch by inch."

Although the robot's technology is immature, it is sufficient for simple exploration.

Teams of robots lined up to enter the passage. There were no traps, but there was still poison gas.

When they reached the depths, their steel bodies were corroded by the poisonous gas.

They groped the stone slabs, exploring them one by one. Soon, they pushed off a piece in the center of the stone slab, revealing a circular groove with many textures inside.

"This groove matches the jade pendant, but the jade pendant is only half. Where is the remaining half?" Yun Mo's face looked grim.

Could it be that the rescue mission will be hindered again?
"The world is so big, it's not easy to find one, but it shouldn't be difficult to imitate one."

Li Changle said coldly, "The carving on the jade pendant is just a simple dragon and phoenix pattern."

"The drone has already captured the texture. As long as we align it with the gap in the texture, we should be able to open it." Yun Mo sighed, "We really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. With this arrangement, we are really in trouble."

They can flatten this place, but if they want to unlock it, they can only follow the mechanism.

The photos were sent back to China, and the four countries rushed to imitate them.

Especially the Three Kingdoms, as long as they can produce it, they can turn the situation around and earn back the medicinal materials they paid before.

After all, whoever makes it holds the key.

In a guesthouse in the distance, Chen Xuan Gu and the young man were looking at this place.

"Master, when are we going?" the young man asked.

"Wait until they untie it." Chen Xuan Gu frowned and murmured, "Was it your arrangement, or my niece's?"

He tried secretly, taking back his own knife, and then secretly taking out an ancient artifact to give to his disciple, but when he went there, he found that he couldn't pull it out either.

That was not the plan!

Someone changed his arrangements. Apart from Li Yi, only Mo Li had the power to do so.

"Master, what's wrong?" the boy asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Chen Xuan Gu waved his hand, not wanting to implicate his disciples in this matter.

He finally understood that Li Yi not only wanted to hold Li Yunchang back, but also wanted to hold him back.

Could it be that Li Yi no longer trusts himself?
But how have I done anything wrong to him?

I have never treated my niece badly and we have a deep affection for each other.

At this moment, he felt like an outsider.

He now urgently wanted to see Mo Li and find out what was going on.

At this moment, Mo Li was taking the little beggar to change clothes and have a big meal.

As for money?
I'm already the emperor, do I still need to spend money?!

"Master, I'm full." The little beggar burped contentedly.

"Then let's go. Help me get something, practice hard, and then go to the Only Real World to find my father." Mo Li said.

"Can I go to the One True World too?" she asked excitedly.

"Of course, but you have to remember that when you go to the One True World, you have to listen to your father and call him grandpa."

"I remember. I'm very obedient."
