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

for such questions.

No one can answer that!

And it's impossible for anyone to provide the answer!

“Are there any other murals? Let’s continue looking,” said Yuchi Zhenjin.

The murals aroused everyone's interest.

Soon, everyone gathered around with torches.

However, the murals that followed mostly depicted the construction process of this Temple of Martial God, and did not contain any noteworthy information.

But after going around in circles, another unexpected discovery was made.

At the last mural, the sword marks and sword intent on it are no different from the previous ones, but it is obvious that they were added later because the marks are very fresh!

It will only last for a few decades at most.

The above is roughly about a person and a boat that sailed across the ocean to this small island and then entered the Temple of Martial God!

Afterwards, this person also came to the palace, and finally left with what appeared to be a box as tall as a person in his hand!

Upon seeing this, everyone was in an uproar!

Someone had arrived here before them and even took away something hidden here!

Could it be this person who took away the treasures here?

"I suddenly remembered something from many years ago," an old man said quietly.

This old man was one of the ten top masters of the imperial court. He was dressed in a shabby Taoist robe and had the Taoist name Qianhe. He didn't say much along the way.

Upon hearing him speak, Yu Chi Zhenjin and the others became interested.

This old fellow is a veteran of the imperial court, having served three dynasties, and has many stories to tell.

"What past events?" Yuchi Zhenjin asked.

“Back then, the late emperor once sent a man out to sea to search for the Temple of the Martial God. Coincidentally, this man was also surnamed Jia and named Jia Zhengxian,” Daoist Qianhe said slowly. “However, after returning from overseas, this Jia Zhengxian did not say that he had found the Temple of the Martial God. The mission report stated that the operation failed and he was eventually executed by the late emperor for betraying the court.”

Jia Zhengxian?

Jia Daoshi felt that the name sounded familiar.

After thinking it over carefully, wasn't this just me taking advantage of my father?

What's the situation?

This completely stumped Jia Daoshi!

“But someone has clearly been here before!” Zhao Wuji frowned.

"I don't know about that," Master Qianhe shook his head. "I'll just tell you what I know, and you can decide for yourselves whether you believe it or not."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

This place is shrouded in mystery, and it's really hard to make a judgment right now.

But according to the intuition of martial arts practitioners, this place was eerily gloomy and made people very uneasy.

After exchanging glances, they all decided to leave the bottom of the cave first.

Since there's nothing left here, there's no point in staying any longer. We might as well go up and absorb some yang energy first!

Inside the main hall, everyone reunited with their respective troops.

When Jia Daoshi came up, he found that all the major sects and families were scattered throughout the main hall. Some were whispering, some were eating, and some were resting with their eyes closed.

Without exception, every sect and every family had someone responsible for keeping watch and being vigilant!

This island is indeed very eerie.

"I think we should split up. I mean, all the major sects and families should disperse. This island looks huge, with continuous mountains. There might be other palaces on other mountains. Even if we don't find the treasure that can make people live forever, finding some martial arts manuals or gold and silver treasures would be good too!"

Zhao Wuji shouted loudly.

Previously, in the fake treasure trove in Youyun County, you could find some martial arts manuals, gold and silver jewelry.

Now that we've come this far, how could we possibly not find it?

If we really can't find it, that would be so infuriating!

All the major sects nodded in agreement.

Since we're already here, how can we not make the most of this long sea voyage by thoroughly looting the place?

It's good that everyone goes their own way; at least there won't be any more conflicts in the short term!

Jia Daoshi, however, was not in a hurry.

The court officials didn't leave either; instead, they went to the platform outside the main hall, formed a circle, and sat down to rest.

"Let's have a drink. This place is too poor. It's supposed to be the Martial God Temple! Even the Beggars' Sect is richer than this place!"

Zhou Botong took out a gourd of wine, opened his mouth, and took a big gulp!

The others also took out the dry rations they had brought and began to eat.

Many people haven't eaten the octopus meat from outside, and their physical and mental strength are greatly depleted at this moment.

"Now I think the Temple of Martial Gods might not be the place I previously imagined, a place to worship the female immortal." Huang Yaoshi didn't drink alcohol, only water. "This place might be used to capture that female immortal, or it could be a cage!"

"Old Huang, how did you come to this conclusion?" Yuchi Zhenjin asked. "If it's a cage, then why divide this island into three parts with city walls? Are three so-called female immortals imprisoned here?"

"The legend of the female fairy is only passed down within the royal family."

Whether it exists or not remains a mystery.

"For now, let's imagine this female immortal as a woman who possesses a rare treasure and a great secret!"

Huang Yaoshi analyzed.

“Your statement is exactly what I thought back then,” said Daoist Qianhe.

"What's locked inside the other two bronze doors?" Fei Yan asked.

"Yes, could there be three more women like that?" Yu Chi Zhenjin also asked with some doubt.

“Everyone, please share your opinions. I think the idea that this place is a prison cell is a bit far-fetched,” Yuan Zhen said. “There’s a painting on the mural that shows when that young couple came to the island, everyone knelt and bowed to the woman. What do you mean by that?”

After hearing this, Yuchi Zhenjin and Feiyan nodded repeatedly.

“I think we mainly need to investigate two things now. First, what was Emperor Qingtai’s purpose in building this Temple of Martial God? Second, is that woman dead or alive, and are the talismans in this pit the means by which she was killed?” Yuan Zhen said after thinking for a moment.

This big guy is clearly not just all muscle.

These two things are indeed very important; if we can figure them out, we can unlock the secrets here.

After chatting for a while, everyone looked at Jia Daoshi in unison.

The head of the Imperial City Guard was sitting on the other side with his wives.

He was surrounded by a riot of beautiful women!

Di Qinglin, whose eyes are covered with black gauze; Weng Changting, who has silver hair and looks very aloof; Yi Qianxiao, who is heroic and dashing; Murong Jiu, who is charming and lovely; Terumi Mei, a ninja from Japan; and Ji Bingyan, the princess of the dynasty...

At this moment, Jia Daoshi was starting a fire on the ground, and then took out a pile of meat from the bundle behind him and put it on the fire to roast.

"Princess, are you just going to ignore us here?" Yu Chi Zhenjin called out, somewhat annoyed.

The Empress originally assigned this mission to Ji Bingyan, but now it seems that Ji Bingyan has completely abandoned her responsibilities.

As expected, Ji Bingyan only glanced at the imperial court before turning her head away.

They ignored it!
