The list of the top 32 was released, and Lu Yan summoned the top 32 members of Guangxiang Country to arrange tactics.

"After the battle begins, Group 1 will immediately eliminate Zheng Qian, Group 2 will deal with Dong Hao and Li Sheng's five men, and Group 3 will deal with Fan Tiexue."

Lu Yan arranged for one group to have ten people, another group to have ten people, and the third group to have two people.

"I'll command the first group, you command the second group, and Pan Sheng will be in charge of the main attack in the third group."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pan Sheng's voice was loud and penetrating. He stood in the crowd like an iron tower.

Three months ago, a military martial arts competition was held, and Pan Sheng, with the advantage of being at the Dragon Transformation Realm, won first place within five moves.

Pan Sheng alone can fight Fan Tiexue, and with Jiang Zhouhao's assistance, they can easily defeat Fan Tiexue.

Lu Cilin cultivates both spiritual and martial arts, and can easily defeat Dong Hao alone, as can easily defeat Li Sheng. He led ten people to fight against Dong Hao's five, and still won easily.

Lu Yan personally led a team. Even if Zheng Qian were a prodigy who had undergone the Ninefold Tribulation, or even if he were a Liquid Aperture Realm expert, he would be easily killed. Lu Yan was still guaranteed to win.

According to Lu Yan's plan, he aims to dominate the top twenty-two places in this Heroes' Gathering and achieve the best result in the history of Guangxiang Kingdom in the Heroes' Gathering.

In the Li family mansion, Zheng Qian carried a stretcher, on which lay the seriously injured Li Mubai.

The once bustling mansion, housing hundreds of people, is now empty, with only the sound of Zheng Qian's footsteps remaining.

"Our Li family's greatest strength is accounting. In Guangxiang City alone, there are 1,857 accountants from all walks of life. In other prefectures and counties, we also have accountants from our Li family."

"The Li family can calculate all the wealth of Guangxiang Kingdom, but they cannot enter the court to do practical things for the people. This is the biggest regret of our Li family."

"You ranked twenty-third in the civil service exam and are about to enter the top ten in the military exam. This time you will be able to enter the imperial court and serve the people."

Zheng Qian was telling the truth; he was confident he could lead Li Mubai into the top ten.

"Zheng Qian, do you believe in fate?"

fate?

Zheng Qian hadn't considered this question before, but Li Mubai's words made him think about it seriously.

The "Devouring Heaven Technique" and the mysterious liquid in my mind are definitely not something I was born with.

Ya Lan and Aunt Hong, both highly skilled individuals, happened to be in Lvchang City. They were Jiang Siting's protectors and eventually formed a good relationship with him.

what is this?

This is fate.

"I believe in fate, but I believe even more that fate is in our own hands."

"After the Li family ancestors obtained two sections of rope, one section was forged into a mirror to reflect the family's fortune, and the other section was used to suppress the family's destiny. A dynasty was established in three years. In the end, the mirror was stolen, leaving only one section of rope to suppress the family's destiny. For the past three hundred years, any family member who entered the court has died a violent death. Therefore, everyone in the family believes that the loss of the mirror caused the leakage of the family's destiny and changed the fate of the family's descendants."

Li Mubai was heartbroken. Tian Jie had disappeared, and he was alone and desolate when he arrived at his home. So he was moved and became more talkative.

"I don't think it's a matter of the family's fortune leaking out, but rather that the Li family lacks someone with great fortune to suppress the rope, so whoever goes to court dies a violent death."

It wasn't that the Li family lacked the ability to enter the imperial court and become officials; it was that whoever entered a department and took up a post there would die a violent death.

From high-ranking officials to lowly patrolmen and constables, anyone receiving a royal salary was destined to die a violent death.

"As long as we are willing to work hard, our destiny will develop in a positive direction."

Zheng Qian reiterated his belief that destiny is in one's own hands.

Li Mubai fell silent. The rope was too special; everyone had different feelings when they saw it. Fate was also his first impression when he saw the rope.

The rope is meant to be held by someone with great fortune; keeping it at home will only bring utter disaster.

The main hall of the Li family home is a reception room, covering more than 300 square meters. The furniture is made of Zen-infused wood, which exudes a unique fragrance that refreshes the mind and body.

Zen-fragrant wood is said to be a magical tree that cultivates life and has the ability to heal all things. On the market, one tael of Zen-fragrant wood can be exchanged for one tael of gold.

The curtains and door drapes shimmer with golden light in the sunlight; they are woven from silkworm silk and golden threads.

The floor tiles are made of milky white spirit crystal ore. Spirit crystal ore is the stone used to mine spirit crystals, and one pound of ore can be exchanged for one ounce of gold.

If all these spirit crystal ores were cut open, perhaps spirit crystals could be found, but Zheng Qian didn't have a single spirit crystal on him.

No matter which side you count from, the largest spirit crystal ore in the middle is the sixteenth piece; the rest are exactly the same size and are engraved with mysterious patterns.

High-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated; exuding wealth and elegance.

“Stomp three times on the third stone brick in each of the four corners, in the order of west, south, north and east, then step back to the fifth stone brick on the left.”

Zheng Qian stomped three times on the corner of the wall, just like Li Mubai had done, and then lifted Li Mubai up and made him stand on the stone brick that Li Mubai had specified.

Li Mubai condensed a drop of blood at his fingertip and flicked it into the very center of the middle stone brick.

The stone bricks absorbed Li Mubai's blood, and the curtains in the hall slowly descended, completely enveloping the hall. A layer of smooth, mirror-like refined iron then fell down, plunging the hall into darkness instantly.

A pure white light shone from within the stone bricks. Except for the stone brick where Zheng Qian was standing, all the other stone bricks slowly rose up, revealing a passage.

"This mechanism was personally set up by my grandfather. Without the correct way to open it, even a hundred experts at the Liquid Aperture Realm would perish."

Speaking of mechanisms, Li Mubai was very proud. His family had countless riches, all hidden by mechanisms.

The fact that every shop in Wind City has a large amount of gold and silver hidden inside, and that there has never been a single case of money being lost or stolen in hundreds of years, is all thanks to the Li Mu Bai family.

"That's really impressive."

Zheng Qian had to admit that the machinations were impossible to guard against, and that it was a broad and promising path.

The passageway also emitted a soft white light, and Zheng Qian continued to venture deeper, following Li Mubai's instructions.

"For the next step, take five steps forward and one step back."

There were many small holes on both sides of the passage, and Zheng Qian dared not be careless for a moment. He followed Li Mubai's instructions on how to go.

He had no intention of testing the power of a mechanism capable of killing a Liquid Aperture Realm expert.

Zheng Qian stopped at the bottom, in front of a heavy, rune-covered gate made of black iron.

Following Li Mubai's method, Zheng Qian pressed down on the nine stone bricks one after another, and the gate slowly opened.

Gold bars as thick as water cups were neatly stacked together, each about two meters long, wide, and high, extending forward in piles of twenty on each side, for a total of forty piles.

The money here represents all the savings of the Li Mubai family over the past three hundred years.

Zheng Qian carried Li Mubai step by step inside; the gold bars were a true test of his character.

A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it in a proper way. Zheng Qian did not consider himself a gentleman, but he would not steal the gold either.

Li Mubai was very quiet at this moment, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

At the end, three large boxes sat quietly on the ground.

"The second, fourth, and fifth piles of gold bars on the left are not poisonous, but the rest will kill you if you touch them. Each of the three boxes contains one thousand spirit crystals. The first box on the right is not highly poisonous, but you must not touch the other two boxes."

Zheng Qian put Li Mubai down, revealing his white teeth.

"Your family is very rich."

"Money is just an external thing; only with strength can you protect it, otherwise, you'll face annihilation. Poisoning is also a form of strength. Take as many gold bars and spirit crystals as you like."

These rich people are not only cunning, but also incredibly stupid.

The authorities not only protect gold, but also poison it.

Is that necessary?

Everyone says it's poisonous, so naturally I, Zheng Qian, won't take any of the money here.

Li Mubai took out a jade pendant from his pocket and stuck it into the corner of the eastern wall.

An iron platform slowly extended out.

Zheng Qian saw the family heirloom rope that Li Mubai had mentioned.
