Chapter 282 The True and False Treasure Vaults, the Emperor's Heart Venerable

Xu Qing first entered the armory, and with a quick scan of it with his divine sense, he clearly knew that the quality of the weapons and armor in the armory was all of the highest grade.

At the same time, the number is also large enough to support an army of 10,000.

Wanwan followed behind, showing little interest in the armor.

This amount of armor and weaponry would significantly enhance the strength of any rebel force outside the region.

But for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, it was nothing.

The two then opened the storage room.

Rows of bookshelves are piled with all sorts of martial arts manuals.

Wanwan stepped forward, opened a book, and found that it wasn't a particularly profound martial arts manual.

After looking at several more martial arts manuals on the bookshelf, he couldn't help but show disappointment and said:

"Your Majesty, these martial arts manuals are a great treasure for those who have not yet reached the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm."

But for you, these martial arts manuals are all too ordinary; there isn't even a single peerless divine skill among them.

"Most of the world's divine skills are the core treasures of their respective sects, and they would not be easily leaked."

Only these neglected, fundamental martial arts techniques could be collected.

Xu Qing spoke calmly, not surprised by this.

Both the innate level and the grandmaster level of martial arts are the most important inheritances of a sect.

Although Yang Su was very capable, it was impossible for him to collect the most core inheritance of a sect at will.

Wanwan nodded, it seemed she had overestimated Yang Gong's treasure trove.

"Huh, it's rumored that the Evil Emperor's relic is in this treasure vault, but it's not here at all. Could it be that the news is false?"

The two left the storage room and wandered around again. Wanwan couldn't find her Demonic Sect's treasure, so she couldn't help but wonder.

"The information is correct."

Xu Qing suddenly said that the Evil Emperor's Relic was indeed in Yang Gong's Treasure Vault.

But it's not here.

Wanwan looked at Xu Qing with a puzzled expression, but Xu Qing explained leisurely: "The person who designed this treasure vault hid the real treasure vault deeper inside."

What we see now is merely a fake treasure trove, existing to conceal the true treasure.

"A real treasure vault or a fake one!?" Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, then her eyes lit up. It really was possible.

The next moment, Xu Qing found the mechanism to the real treasure vault and opened a tunnel.

The real treasure trove lies beneath the false one.

"This is the tunnel leading to the true treasure vault!?"

Wanwan looked down with curiosity, sighing that the designer was truly remarkable.

The real treasure trove is hidden so deeply.

"Let's go."

Xu Qing stepped into the tunnel.

Wanwan used her true energy to drag Shi Zhixuan along, following closely behind, and gradually approached the treasure vault deep underground.

While the two continued their treasure hunt, the outside world underwent dramatic changes.

Yuwen Huaji, acting on the imperial decree of the Sui Emperor, personally led his army to various Buddhist temples to demand gold and silver treasures.

Many temples were unwilling, but Yuwen Huaji would not be polite.

The entire army mobilized and slaughtered all the temples and monks who defied the imperial decree.

This finally provoked the anger of the Buddhist monks.

The head of the Huayan School, and one of the four great holy monks of Buddhism, Venerable Dixin.

Upon hearing this, he personally took action and blocked Yuwen Huaji and his 10,000 elite troops.

Although he was alone, he exuded a strong and masculine aura, and his profound skill placed him among the strongest in the Innate Grandmaster level.

"Amitabha!"

The Venerable Emperor Heart had an aged face and was nearly a hundred years old. When he uttered a Buddhist chant, the entire army was so frightened that they dared not move, and everyone's eardrums were damaged.

"What a formidable old monk!"

Yuwen Huaji's eyes were solemn and his expression was cold. From the opponent's use of the Buddhist Lion's Roar, he knew that the opponent's skill was above his own.

He is by no means an ordinary master of Buddhism; he must be a true master of Buddhism.

"Old monk, which of the Four Great Holy Monks are you?!" Yuwen Huaji demanded.

"I, the abbot of Huayan Sect, hereby request Lord Yuwen to cease his killing spree."

The Venerable Emperor Heart wore a monk's robe, with a kind and benevolent face, but his eyes were sharp and extraordinary. His tone was calm, but he gave people a strong feeling.

"It turns out to be the Venerable Emperor Heart, one of the Four Great Holy Monks, in person."

Yuwen Huaji narrowed his eyes slightly. The four great monks of Buddhism were all powerful masters.

They even have a record of fighting to a draw against a Grandmaster when the four of them joined forces.

This clearly demonstrates just how formidable this old monk was.

"But old monk, do you intend to defy the imperial decree?!"

Yuwen Huaji sneered and continued, "I was ordered to take gold and silver from your Buddhist sect to aid the Sui Dynasty, but not a single temple in your Buddhist sect complies with His Majesty's decree."

Such acts of defying imperial orders are punishable by death; those people deserve to die!
"Now you have come in person to block the path of my army and order me to stop. Do you, this holy Buddhist monk, also intend to lead the way in defying His Majesty's decree?!"

"That's not the case. Rather, I would like to ask Lord Yuwen to grant our Buddhist sect some time. After a proper discussion, we will give His Majesty an answer."

Emperor Xin Zun Zhe raised his eyelids slightly, but dared not admit to disobeying the imperial edict to the emperor's face.

This is tantamount to pushing Buddhism into a fire pit.

The only thing we can do is try to buy time with this rhetoric, and then gather the Buddhist masters to discuss how to handle the matter.

"Hahaha, ridiculous! His Majesty's decree is that your Buddhist sect must immediately prepare and present the relief funds. Do you even understand what 'immediately' means?!"

Refusing to hand it over is disobeying the imperial decree, and those who disobey the imperial decree will be killed!

Yuwen Huaji's murderous intent surged forth; he would not allow anyone to disobey the Emperor's decree.

"For the sake of this old monk, you won't even give me the slightest leeway?"

Emperor Heart Venerable narrowed his eyes, and his voice turned cold.

"Old man, do you think your face is more important than an imperial edict? What a joke! If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you first!"

Yuwen Huaji sneered.

"In that case, this old monk will have no choice but to see just how well Lord Yuwen has mastered the Ice Profound Force!"

Emperor Heart Venerable's face immediately darkened, and he clasped his hands together.

"on!"

Yuwen Huaji's expression also turned cold, and he waved his hand to give the order.

The soldiers behind him all came out and surrounded and attacked Emperor Heart Venerable.

The spear tips, accompanied by the circulation of true energy, pierced various parts of Emperor Heart Venerable's body.

However, all the spear tips that came to assassinate him were only a foot away from Emperor Heart Venerable.

A thick and hard wall of true energy formed around it.

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor Heart Venerable sent everyone flying backward.

The surging power condensed into an all-encompassing impact, causing the army to retreat repeatedly.

"Such profound skill!"

Yuwen Huaji was secretly shocked, knowing that this person was indeed a holy monk of Buddhism, whose power had reached the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Even ordinary military formations would find it difficult to surround and kill them.

"Then let this steward personally experience your superior skills!"

Yuwen Huaji leaped from his warhorse, his figure soaring dozens of feet into the air before descending from the sky, carrying an extremely cold force as he pressed down on Emperor Heart Venerable.

This force formed a huge palm print, which, even before it had fully landed, already caused the fallen leaves on the ground to rise up suddenly.
Even the Emperor Heart Venerable felt a chill; it was the height of summer, yet it felt as if winter had arrived in an instant!
His eyes snapped up, his sleeves rolled up, and a surge of true energy accompanied by a palm strike shot upwards.

The palm print resembles the Vajra mudra, clearly the Vajra Subduing Demon Mudra of Buddhism.

As Emperor Heart Venerable unleashed his attack, he formed a hand seal, channeling his true energy to unleash a fierce burst of power.

The two forces, before they had even fully collided, were already engaged in a fierce battle, with the surrounding air waves surging and turbulent.

When their palms truly clashed, the terrifying force blasted in all directions, shattering the earth, collapsing mountain paths, and destroying all the trees.

Both sides were grandmaster-level experts, and their first exchange resulted in an earth-shattering battle.

Even the army is not easy to approach; one is easily injured.
