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

When Jia Daoshi asked him a question, Yu Yanshu simply glanced at him indifferently.

Those purple eyes remained devoid of any emotion.

This puzzled Jia Daoshi.

He had already confided in the other party beforehand.

One of his wives was the master of the Black-Clad Tower.

We're both from the same Fengtao Twelve Towers, so no matter what, we're your colleagues, right?

Even if they're not colleagues, they're still senior and junior classmates.

Even if they aren't senior or junior sisters, they are still related as uncle and nephew.

Logically speaking, with this connection, the two should have gotten much closer.

However, Yu Yanshu simply disliked Jia Daoshi.

Therefore, he never had a very good impression of Jia Daoshi.

Yu Yanshu is aloof and proud, and has an innate rebellious streak towards Jia Daoshi, a scumbag.

In her eyes, Jia Daoshi was a despicable, vulgar, and dissolute man!

Otherwise, one should be faithful in relationships, instead of marrying one woman after another.

Although this is related to the court's policies, as the head of the Imperial City Guard, how can you be bound by the court's ridiculous policies?

The martial arts of Yu Yanshu pursue a pure and flawless mind, and she instinctively dislikes emotional scumbags like Jia Daoshi.

"Master Yu, is there any hidden meaning in this inscription?"

Just then, Fei Yan, a master of the imperial court, walked over.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Yanshu finally said, "There is indeed a mystery involved."

Upon hearing this, Fei Yan's expression turned solemn: "What mystery is this? Has Master Yu figured it out?"

Yu Yanshu raised her swan-like neck and looked at the tall bronze gate.

The totem patterns carved on the door reminded her of the Liyue Harbor Chronicles from the past.

There are records above that the totem of Liyue Harbor used to look very similar to this!

The entire bronze door is carved with a very rare sacred tree, on which a huge divine bird perches.

Of course, this is just background information.

Yu Yanshu's gaze fell on the giant beast in the middle.

This beast was extremely ferocious and enormous, and I don't know its name.

"According to the inscription on the stele."

"The three holes on the beast's face are where the key is inserted."

"With just one of them, we can open the door!"

"What? You can open the door with just one key?" Jia Daoshi was a little confused, not understanding what this meant.

“That’s right. As I understand it, this Temple of Martial Gods may be divided into different areas. And this bronze gate is so huge that it is very likely that it was divided into three gates.”

"Furthermore, even without a key, you can still get in."

The letter, written in a gentle and detailed manner, tells its story.

"No key needed? How do I get in then?" Fei Yan asked, puzzled.

The entire martial arts world is searching for the key to the Martial God Temple, because only with the key can one enter!

But now you're telling me that I can get in without a key?

“Use blood.” Yu Yanshu paused for a moment and said, “The blood of the Murong royal family. As long as a certain amount of blood is released and the blood flows through the grooves on the divine trees on the bronze door, the door will open.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Sure enough, on the carving of the divine tree, there were grooves, like the veins on the tree, extending upwards!

"This groove is so intricate, I wonder how much blood it would take to fill it!" Fei Yan gasped.

“There really does seem to be blood on it!” Jia Daoshi took a step forward, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

I hadn't noticed it before; I just thought it was something dirty.

But now that I've heard Yu Yanshu say this, aren't those reddish-brown things on the grooves the remnants left after the blood dried up?

"Before the Daqing Dynasty was destroyed, the emperor at the time sent a fleet out to sea to search for the Temple of the Martial God. Could it be that they actually found it? Moreover, there were members of the Murong royal family on the fleet at that time!" Jia Daoshi thought to himself.

“If that’s the case, then we don’t need to wait for the Longwu Dynasty at all!” Fei Yan suddenly said after realizing what was happening.

The relationship between the Longwu Dynasty and the Great Jing Dynasty was always hostile.

When several groups of people are mixed together, scheming and plotting against each other, it's inevitable to feel mentally exhausted.

Previously, there was no other way; we had to wait for the people of the Longwu Dynasty.

But given the current situation, it seems there's no need to wait any longer!

“That’s right. Jatis has two keys, enough to get inside.” Yu Yanshu nodded this time.

“Master Yu, since that’s the case, why don’t I give you one of the keys? We can split these people up. It’s not good for everyone to be crammed together.” Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

These martial arts sects and powerful families are all unruly and arrogant individuals.

Knights-errant use their martial arts to break the law. Back in the Central Plains, they dared to oppose the imperial court, let alone now that they're on this isolated island.

Ji Wuxin agreed to bring these people along because he wanted to find an opportunity to kill them.

But these people also wanted to kill everyone in the imperial court.

Everyone came for the baby!

The Temple of Martial Gods can belong to your dynasty, and so can the key!

But the treasures inside belong to all of us!

This is the current state of affairs in both the martial arts world and the imperial court.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Yu Yanshu nodded.

Since each key can open the door independently, there's no need for everyone to crowd together.

As for whether or not the so-called treasure can be found, that depends on each person's ability and luck.

Now that the letter has said so, the rest is simple.

Soon, the people at the scene were divided into two groups.

One group consisted mainly of Jia Daoshi, several experts from the imperial court, as well as the Demon Sword Palace, the Purple Luo Holy Sect, the Beggars' Sect, and various powerful clans.

The other part is Yu Yanshu leading a large group of wandering knights, as well as the successors of Yun Gu Lei Feng, Dao Wu Wang Gu, and Liu Shu Tian Que.

These wandering knights-errant, without any sect or faction, held a mysterious reverence for places like the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, a sacred place in the martial arts world.

The two teams were quickly assigned to each other.

No one had any objections to Jia Daoshi and Yu Yanshu's proposal.

At this moment, Jia Daoshi held in his hand the cylindrical metal key that had flowed out of the Da Jing royal family.

In Yu Yanshu's hand was the short sword she had taken from Terumi Mei.

From the outside, no one would associate this thing with the key that can open the bronze door.

At this moment, the keys in their hands seemed to receive some kind of summons, some kind of mysterious sensation, and were emitting a faint glow.

Seeing this change, everyone's eyes revealed excitement and anticipation.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became restless and uneasy.

Jia Daoshi released his hand!

The key actually flew up on its own and pierced directly into the beast's right eye!

"Crack!"

A very clear metallic click sound rang out!

It's like some kind of mechanism has been activated!

Immediately afterwards, the bronze door on the right changed!

A stream of blood-red liquid suddenly emerged from the base of the bronze door, extending upwards along the veins of the bronze divine tree on its surface!

An extremely cold aura emanated from the bronze door, sending chills down one's spine!
