I really became a king.

Chapter 242 The upcoming Xumi Palace
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with greed, and he said, "Remember, catch him alive and I will interrogate him personally. All the opportunities he has will belong to me."

The Venerable Hundred Ghosts stopped walking and felt a little disheartened. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to follow others to the Yinshan Secret Realm this time.

Li Yuan is really not suitable to lead this trip to the Yinshan secret realm. Now that the treasure map has been lost, the most urgent task is to capture another treasure that is about to come out.

As for the masked man, the Wind and Thunder Sword Master and the treasure map, you can wait until you get the other valuable treasure before slowly plotting against them.

But the other party obviously didn't think so. Thinking of the instructions given by the Baiyue Emperor before he left, the Hundred Ghosts Venerable sighed and looked back and said, "My Lord, now another treasure is about to be born, should we prioritize this one? For the sake of safety, should we activate the Hundred Gu Formation in advance?"

Li Yuan glanced at the Venerable Hundred Ghosts calmly and said, "This matter is clear to me. As for the Hundred Gu Formation, there is no rush. It will not be too late to activate it when the precious treasure leaks its precious aura."

"The most urgent task now is to take back the treasure map. Otherwise, when I return to the Baiyue Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to report to my father..."

The Venerable Hundred Ghosts shook his head secretly, knowing that it was useless to say anything. As for the treasure map, he felt even more disheartened. If the other party had not stopped him from chasing after Wind and Thunder Blade Lord for his own comfort, the treasure map might have been returned to him.

“Oh, never mind. After this trip to the Yinshan Secret Realm, I have fulfilled my previous promise. It doesn’t matter if I stay in the Baiyue Dynasty…” After saying this to himself, Venerable Baigui walked straight out of the tent.

The dozen or so warriors at the sixth mirror level in the room all lowered their heads without looking around. They could all understand the implicit meaning behind the suggestion made by the Venerable Hundred Ghosts to activate the Hundred Gu Array in advance.

After all, that precious treasure is about to come into the world. Although the treasure has not yet been leaked, we must start clearing the place.

The purpose of activating the Hundred Gu Array in advance is to clear the area in advance and prevent all outsiders from intentionally or unintentionally breaking into the place where the treasure was born, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong when the treasure is born.

But the Baiyue prince in front of him refused.

"As for you, send half of you to assist the Venerable in searching for the Wind and Thunder Sword Lord, and the other half to guard the place where the treasure was born. No one is allowed to enter the area where the treasure was born." Li Yuan gave another order to the foreign warriors in the tent.

A group of foreign warriors bowed and accepted the order. As they walked out, many of them secretly sighed in their hearts: This is a rebellion. They should have gone out to search and arrest. The Hundred Ghosts Venerable presided over the Hundred Gu Array to guard and block the place where the treasure was born...

After everyone had left, only Li Yuan and a personal eunuch were left in the tent.

After a moment of hesitation, the personal eunuch spoke carefully, "Your Highness, the area where the treasure was unearthed is too large, hundreds of miles in size. They alone may not be able to guard it. However, if the Venerable Hundred Ghosts is allowed to personally preside over the Hundred Gu Formation..."

Before he could finish, he was stopped by Li Yuan's cold gaze: "How can we do things on this website and still need your help?"

The eunuch didn't dare to speak and lowered his head in panic.

Li Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, saying: "Don't worry, this Silver Mountain Secret Realm is very large, and not many people will come here in a short period of time. Moreover, once the Hundred Gu Formation is activated, it will cost too much."

The eunuch did not say anything, but he was confused in his heart. When the Emperor of Baiyue visited his beloved relative, he gave her enough materials needed to maintain the Hundred Gu Array. It was enough to keep the Hundred Gu Array running for three months, or even longer. After all, they had to prepare for various emergencies.

Moreover, what the Venerable Hundred Ghosts meant just now was not to really activate the Hundred Gu Array, but to set up the Hundred Gu Array first. It would only be officially activated once an outsider sneaked in. In fact, it did not require much materials.

At this time, perhaps wanting to find someone to share his joy, Li Yuan took the initiative to say: "My fiefdom has been decided, so I need these materials to build an impregnable mansion. The more the better." The eunuch understood that he wanted to enrich himself. After all, each of the materials needed for the Hundred Gu Array was extremely precious, and it was difficult to obtain them without a large enough foundation.

Seeing Li Yuan's proud expression, the eunuch stopped talking about the matter. With a happy look on his face, he bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on being granted a fiefdom!"

Although granting fiefdoms and territories was a common practice in the Baiyue Dynasty, it was not something that any prince could obtain. Only the princes who were allowed to compete for the throne were eligible.

This is different from the four great dynasties such as Dali located in the center of the wild continent. In the four dynasties such as Dali, territories and fiefdoms were rarely allocated to princes, and princes who had ambitions to compete for the throne did not want to be divided.

Because once it is divided up, it means being away from the core circle and being gradually marginalized.

"So the king knows the importance of this trip to Yinshan, especially this precious treasure that has not yet been unveiled. There must not be any mistakes!" Li Yuan said.

The trusted eunuch beside him hesitated for a while, thinking that it was because of this that the Venerable Hundred Ghosts had to be there in person. However, thinking of his master's temperament, he did not dare to say it out loud, but asked curiously:

"My Lord, I wonder what this treasure that is about to be born is?"

Li Yuan looked at the eunuch coldly and said, "Is it possible for a slave like you to inquire about this?"

The eunuch apologized in a terrified manner, but he had no fear in his heart because he knew his master's character too well.

Sure enough, after scolding him, Li Yuan continued, "But this matter will soon no longer be a secret, and since you are my confidant, it's okay for me to tell you."

After saying this, his eyes were sparkling with a hint of greed, and he said, "You should have heard of Xumi Cave, right?" Seeing the eunuch nod, he continued:
"This precious treasure is a Sumeru Palace!"

"Sumeru Palace? Is it similar to Sumeru Cave?" the eunuch asked puzzledly.

“From the word ‘Sumeru’, they are indeed similar, but there is a world of difference between them. They are not at the same level at all. However, even I, the King, don’t know the specific details.” There was some resentment in Li Yuan’s eyes, as if he was blaming his father for not telling him everything. He also asked the Venerable Hundred Ghosts in private, but got no information.

“But as far as I know, this Xumi Palace is a palm-sized palace!”

A mansion? Or something that could be big or small? The eunuch turned his head and looked at the Sumeru tent he was in.

Li Yuan seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Although both have the word Xumi, this tent is far inferior to Xumi Palace, just like a thatched house and a palace. Do you think they are comparable?"

The eunuch shook his head and was expecting Li Yuan to continue speaking, but he saw that the other party had stopped talking. He subconsciously looked up and saw a pair of fierce eyes that contained endless murderous intent.

"Therefore, this Xumi Palace is something that I am determined to obtain!"

"No one can take it away, including my father. It can only belong to me!"
