What a lucky world!

Chapter 267 Is there a big monster in the mountains?
The fire is burning.

The arrogant Qian Mansion in Cangqing City was engulfed in flames that shot up into the sky.

Inside the Cangqing Mansion, just two streets away from the Qian Mansion, Prefect Wan Anquan blew away the foam from his teacup. He looked at the flames rising from the Qian Mansion, took a sip, and asked slowly, "Any news from the Qian family?"

The clerk standing behind Wan Anquan bowed and said, "My Lord, Captain Song said that group of strong men were extremely skilled in martial arts. The leader beheaded the old man of the Qian family with just three or five moves."

"Three or five moves?" Wan Anquan's face flashed with a hint of solemnity. "Old Master Qian has reached the perfection of the Liquid Condensation Realm. If he was beheaded in just five moves, then his opponent must be a master of the Gallbladder Condensation Realm."

The clerk nodded. "Captain Song said the same thing. In Taiping County right now, the only one who has reached the Gathering Gallantry stage and is so audacious is that..."

"Well!" Wan Anquan put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Do you have any evidence?"

The clerk was taken aback and bowed quickly, saying, "It was the student who was reckless."

"Young man, don't try to be clever..." Wan Anquan shook his head. "They dared to set the fire, so they are not afraid of us knowing. Can you stop a master of the Condensation Realm, or can I?"

"Do you think Captain Song is watching and he doesn't know?"

"This is a message. He's giving the government a favor by not embarrassing me. But I have to suppress the Qian family's disturbance!"

"Understand?"

The clerk nodded, but was a little dissatisfied: "A martial arts village, even at the Judan realm, actually dares to..."

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Wan Anquan yawned. "Even if I mobilize the great array of destiny, it would still be a fight to the death."

"But this may not be without benefits."

"The Qian family, relying on their fortune, has repeatedly troubled me. Many of the officials in the government office have connections with them. Now that the big tree has fallen, I have a free hand to deal with those monkeys."

"By the way, no one from the Qian family escaped, right?"

The clerk shook his head. "Captain Song said that from the old man of the Qian family down, the head of the Qian family, the second and third masters of the Qian family, and all the adult males of the third generation were killed."

"There are more than a dozen underage children who are said to have been tied up in a pile. If they are not going to take them away, they will leave them to us!"

"Great!" Wan Anquan clapped his hands and said to the clerk, "See? This is what we call professionalism!"

"The other side is following the rules, so I can't deny them face."

"Go to the treasury and take ten thousand taels of silver and put it at the city gate."

"The government records show that bandits from the Judan Realm broke into the city at night, wiped out the entire Qian family, and stole 30,000 taels of silver from the treasury."

The clerk nodded: "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

The clerk turned and left. Wan Anquan looked at the rising flames and shook his head.

"This world is really going to be in chaos..."

……

Zhang Mu led a group of people and rushed out of Cangqing City like a hurricane.

Zhang Mu had never expected that the Qian family would have five people in the Nascent Soul Realm.

It’s not that it’s difficult to destroy the Qian family, but it shows how lucrative the Qian family’s income is from the quartz fruit trade.

Zhang Mu also saw the place where the Qian family planted quartz fruit. The Qian family had secretly bought the entire street, connected all the backyards, and then planted quartz fruit on it. If it weren't for this, Zhang Mu would not have burned the Qian family down.

"Fortunately, we arrived a step early. If we could find some opportunities for the Qian family, perhaps they would have been promoted to the level of a poor family." Shisan Niang, who came with Zhang Mu, sighed.

Zhang Mu nodded, but his attention was focused on the scroll of heaven's secrets.

This time, by destroying the Qian family, a total of one thousand luck coins were obtained.

Zhang Mu finally figured it out. For a Liquid Condensation Force, the upper limit of Luck Money that could be rewarded should be one thousand.

As for the Judan-level forces... we haven't destroyed a top-level famous family yet, so we don't know.

With the addition of these one thousand luck coins, I finally got the clues to the opportunity of the armory mentioned in the scroll of heaven.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Mu chose to exchange.

Three thousand Luck Coins were consumed in an instant, and the words on the light screen formed by the Heavenly Secret Scroll in front of him suddenly changed -

"Qianyuan Mountain was originally named Sanqing Mountain, where the Tianji Sect's main sect is located."

"Before the demise of the Tianji Sect, it was one of the most powerful sects in the world. It was filled with numerous experts and possessed countless rare and precious animals."

"When the great fortune attacks the mountain, the sects raise monster beasts to defend against the enemy or flee, but they cannot escape the wrath of the king's teacher."

"However, the Great Evolution is forty-nine, and one is missing."

"There is life left!"

Zhang Mu looked at the prompt on the light screen and frowned.

The above words are not difficult to understand, but the meaning contained in them is truly shocking.

This means that the monsters that the Tianji Sect raised in the past are still alive, and they are on Qianyuan Mountain!

Not to mention the sheer force that Dayun had used to destroy the Tianji Sect, it was already four or five hundred years ago. Still alive?

And it’s related to an arsenal?
Zhang Mu suddenly felt uneasy when he thought that there was a big monster next to his bed.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong?" Noticing the change in Zhang Mu's mood, Shisan Niang rode forward and asked softly.

"It's okay." Zhang Mu shook his head.

Shisan Niang wanted to ask more questions when suddenly a horse came galloping from a distance and stopped in front of Zhang Mu.

"Zhaizhu!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Mu saw this and had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Wei, please return to the mountain as soon as possible."

Zhang Mu was startled, thinking that maybe the big monster had appeared, so he asked, "What's going on?"

The henchman replied, "We've received a secret report that Emperor Chiyang of Dayun has passed away!"

"Mr. Wei, I'm afraid there might be some changes in the area. Please return to the stronghold as soon as possible to take charge of the situation!"

Zhang Mu opened his mouth wide.

What?
The emperor is gone?

……

The dew on the leek is so easy to dry up, it will fall again tomorrow morning, and when will the dead return?

Sad elegy echoed throughout the imperial city, and the entire Zhongjing city was covered in white.

Guards dressed in mourning clothes, holding long spears, stood quietly in the passages throughout the palace, and sobbing sounds could be heard everywhere.

All the officials knelt in the open space in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, each of their faces showing only fatigue but no sadness.

I'm afraid the only person who is truly sad in the imperial city is Empress Dowager Chen, who is lying in the golden nanmu coffin in the Yangxin Palace.

Side hall.

Chen Kun looked at the Crown Prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace in front of him and said coldly, "Sir, is there something important that you want to meet me for?"

"If nothing else, I still have to go take care of the Queen Mother."

Prince Zhan Shi smiled and said, "Of course it is a matter of great importance to the whole world, but Master Chen, don't worry, just a few words will do."

"Speak." Chen Kun said.

Prince Zhan Shi nodded and said:

"The late emperor has passed away, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Your Highness Prince Duan has already appointed the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and he should ascend the throne."

"Prince Duan ascended the throne and recognized the Queen Mother as his legal mother. She was promoted to the Holy Mother Queen Mother. Master Chen was granted the title of prince and appointed as the Grand Tutor to assist in the administration of state affairs."

"Two kings in one family, hereditary succession without any downgrade!"

Chen Kun's expression eased slightly after hearing this. He looked at the other party for a while and said, "I will talk to the Queen Mother about this matter."

“But it will take a few days.”

Prince Zhan Shi nodded: "Of course."

"Also, my prince has heard that the Grandmaster has a beautiful daughter. After the national mourning, he wishes to marry her. I hope the Grandmaster will grant his blessing."

Chen Kun's mouth corners curled up slightly.

His youngest daughter is already married, so where does he leave his younger daughter?

But, you can!

Chen Kun nodded: "I will also discuss this matter with the Queen Mother."

"Then I will take my leave!" Prince Zhan Shi bowed again, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Kun again.

"Sir, I have something I don't understand."

Zhan Shi smiled and asked, "Master, please tell me."

"The late emperor was frail and unable to support the great fortune of the dynasty. This natural and man-made disaster backfired, leading to Long Yu's death. I cannot elaborate on this matter."

"However, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is not a direct descendant of the emperor. I wonder how he can inherit the fate of the world?"

Prince Zhan Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise and said softly, "Master, this is quite disrespectful."

"But Your Highness is kind and will certainly not be offended."

"As for the Grandmaster's concerns..."

Prince Zhan Shi looked at Chen Kun and said calmly, "Your Excellency knew it when Prince Duan ascended the throne."
