The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

These men in black were none other than the same group who had appeared on the cliff of the island in the middle of the lake earlier.

These people, through some unknown passage, bypassed the martial arts masters and appeared directly at the core of the Six Paths Thousand Machines Tower.

One of the men in black held a gleaming bronze plate in his hand, placing it on a recessed area in front of him. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Very good. Daqing, Longwu, and the Kushan Empire have all sent people! Obviously, you all like this gift I prepared! In that case, stay here forever, and enjoy it again in your next life! Hahaha..."

The man in black's laughter was extremely hoarse and maniacal, with a metallic tremor that made it impossible to tell whether he was male or female!

……

The entire structure of the Six Paths Thousand Machine Tower is extremely complex.

Groups of martial arts practitioners walked around inside, looking like headless flies, buzzing around aimlessly, eager to squeeze into any opening they could find.

In addition, aside from encountering those deadly stone chambers, they did not find any truly remarkable treasures.

The number of personnel has been decreasing steadily.

Every short distance you walk, you'll see martial arts practitioners who have died in horrific ways.

"Your Highness, Mr. Jia, Your Highness, do you think this place might be a trap?"

Yuan Jin'er was, after all, a girl, and the further she walked, the more frightened she became.

Yuan Jin'er's words expressed the sentiments of Ming Gui and his group of armed guards.

They came here seeking opportunity, not to throw their lives away.

Aside from the ordinary martial arts manuals I obtained at the beginning, there were no other treasures!

What about the treasures of the Daqing Dynasty?

Where exactly?

Upon hearing this question, Wu Qingye couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Teacher, do you think this place might be a trap set by the people of the Great Qing Dynasty? There's no treasure inside at all; it's just a way to kill us greedy mortals?" Shen Li suddenly asked.

In fact, Shen Li had this idea a long time ago.

She felt something was off as soon as she got the map.

Now that she has seen so many people die along the way, her suspicions have only grown stronger!

If it were just a treasure, even the people of Daqing would need to come and take it!

With such a complex and numerous traps set up, if one of our own people accidentally triggers them, wouldn't that be like lifting a rock only to slap ourselves in the face?

This is unreasonable!

Jia Daoshi nodded and said, "Ah Li, as you can see, the Six Paths Thousand Mechanisms Tower is indeed a very difficult trap to solve. Those who do not understand the art of mechanisms will definitely face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death if they enter. However, this kind of place is indeed suitable for burying treasures. The more mechanisms there are, the safer the treasure will be."

Jia Daoshi's words startled Ming Gui: "You say this is a trap, then if it is a trap, how can we get the treasure? We might as well leave now without suffering any losses!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Li shook her head and mocked, "I didn't expect that the second young master of General Ming's mansion would be so cowardly. I think you'd be better off going back to your brothel, listening to music and playing with flowers!"

Upon seeing that Shen Li had mocked him, Ming Gui's face turned bright red, but he was powerless to refute her.

Seeing their young master's cowardly appearance, the two guards with swords following behind also felt somewhat ashamed, but there was nothing they could do.

"General Ming, let's not worry about that for now. As I said before, taking the treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty will definitely not be that simple. However, it's not without hope."

Jia Daoshi chuckled and offered a word of comfort.

Hearing Jia Daoshi's words and seeing his calm and collected expression, Wu Qingye and Shen Li felt reassured.

They've been in contact with Jia Daoshi for quite some time now, so if Jia Daoshi said that, there must be something going on.

Shen Li and Yuan Jin'er looked into Jia Daoshi's eyes, which seemed to glow.

Seeing this, Ming Gui felt a surge of jealousy rise in his heart once again.

"Then, Mr. Jia, should we continue like this? I think even if we explore the entire underground palace, it will all be for nothing in the end," Ming Gui said provocatively.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak." Shen Li turned her head and glared fiercely at Ming Gui.

Ming Gui: "..."

With Jia Daoshi around, they had an incredibly comfortable journey. But Ming Gui, that reckless fool, insisted on courting death, which infuriated Shen Li.

You should know that compared to them, the fate of other martial arts figures and small sects is truly tragic.

A treasure hunt wiped out several small sects!

The fate of the Bashan Sword Sect is all too common.

The sect dispatched its elite forces to search for the treasure, but none of them returned. Only a few members remained inside the sect, facing the imminent threat of annihilation.

"Sir, something's not right here. Isn't this supposed to be the treasure trove of the Great Qing Dynasty? Why are there so many traps and mechanisms?"

Tong Huang from the Imperial City Guard and the woman in white also entered with their entourage.

Along the way, all I saw were various tragic deaths.

This completely stunned the subordinates who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation and snatch one or two treasures!

Neither the woman in white nor the child emperor spoke.

Both of them were very cold.

They naturally noticed the strangeness of this place as well.

"Alright, put away your little schemes. If I'm not mistaken, this secret treasure is probably fake." The white-clad woman's voice was icy and otherworldly.

fake?

These words were like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over the heads of a group of subordinates.

Considering the corpses I saw earlier, this place might actually be fake!

"This time, our mission is to find out who's behind this underground palace," the Child Emperor's voice was equally cold. "So, if I discover anyone's shady dealings, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The secret treasure of the Great Qing Dynasty definitely exists, but it's definitely not here!

This was said to them by Her Majesty the Empress herself.

Originally, this matter should have been entrusted to Jia Daoshi, but Jia Daoshi had only recently become the supervisor, and Ji Wuxin was a cautious person, so he naturally wouldn't easily trust someone he had only known for a short time.

The woman in white and the child emperor became the best candidates.

"Alright! Be smart, everyone, this place is full of traps!" Tong Huang emphasized again.

……

at the same time.

Deep within the Six Paths Thousand Machines Tower.

Inside a large hall, ablaze with fire.

Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanyou's group had just cracked the mechanism of a decoy room.

Then, they also found murals on the stone walls inside.

The content of the murals was similar to what Jia Daoshi and his group had seen before.

However, the mysterious figure inside, wearing a ghost mask and a cloak, had transformed into a carriage.

Inside the carriage was a man wearing a crown.

"Alright, everyone sit down and take a rest." Huyan Zhuo waved to his men, "and have a good chat while you're at it."
