Chapter 37 I'm taking your head!
When Liu Chengfeng and his group arrived at the gate of the Grandmaster's Mansion, Ye Yiqing had been waiting for a long time.

"You're late."

Ye Yiqing was very displeased with Liu Chengfeng and his group's late arrival and looked at them coldly.

"A gentle embrace is a hero's grave; getting up in the morning is so hard."

Su Youqian lay in the arms of a beautiful woman, half-reclining in the car, looking lazy.

"You dare call yourself a hero?"

Ye Yiqing had captivating eyes, luscious red lips, and a slender waist and ample breasts, but her aloof demeanor made her unlikable.

She wouldn't give Liu Chengfeng and Su Youqian a friendly look either.

"I am not a hero, but I may be the emperor in the future."

Su Youqian dared to say anything, lazily looking at Ye Yiqing with an air of "what can you do about it?"

Ye Yiqing sneered and turned to leave.

The Grandmaster's Mansion is very large. Without a guide, one would not be able to find their way. There are many buildings on both sides, which are imposing. Everyone who comes out of the mansion is a powerful person.

Its vigorous energy and fierce momentum are enough to make people hesitate.

The Grandmaster's Mansion is the most powerful department in Qiuchi Kingdom, bar none, and even the royal family and the Demon Slayer Division cannot suppress it.

The Ye, Cheng, and Li families of the Grandmaster's Mansion today are descended from the brothers of the founding emperor.

As descendants of noble families in Qiuchi Kingdom, they firmly control the Grandmaster's Mansion, and their strength is led by the Ye family.

Passing through the Grandmaster's Mansion, a grand hall stands before you, surrounded by a dried-up stone river.

Ascending the steps, in the open space in front of the main hall, a large stone slab lies diagonally in the center, engraved with divine characters, its force capable of breaking stone as if piercing the earth.

Inside the main hall are four deep wells, so deep that the bottom cannot be seen, that they go straight into the ground.

The massive door leading to the back of the hall was tightly shut and could not be opened.

"This is the Lihuo River. Legend has it that it doesn't flow with water, but with lava. After the ancestral hall was sealed, it dried up."

After crossing the middle bridge over the Shihe River, Su Youqian explained the situation to Liu Chengfeng.

On the bridge, Liu Chengfeng saw three huge, deep pits in the stone river, as if magma was about to gush out from them.

Climb the stone steps and stand before the main hall. The reclining stone slab is right in front of you; this is the Thunder and Fire Divine Slab, the key to activating the ancestral hall.

In front of the main hall, there were dozens of powerful figures from the Grandmaster's Mansion, with Ye Yitian at the head. He sat upright in the center, exuding an air of superiority.

"You're too late—"

Ye Yitian and the others had been waiting for a long time, while Liu Chengfeng and the others arrived late, which displeased the Grandmaster's Mansion.

Ye Yitian, in particular, sat high above, looking down at everyone.

"What's the use of you coming earlier? You still can't unravel the mystery."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Ye Yitian, who stood high and mighty.

"Ha, ha, my brother is right. What's the use of you coming earlier? You've been staring at this divine tablet for countless days and months, have you solved it yet?"

“My brother arrived late, but it will only take him a few moments to untie the scepter.”

Su Youqian felt a surge of joy and laughed loudly.

"If we can't unravel the Thunderfire Divine Board, we'll lose our heads."

Ye Yitian looked down at the crowd, his eyes turning cold, his fiery aura intimidating.

"Are you going to chop off my head?"

Su Youqian was also acting like a scoundrel, stretching out his neck.

Ye Yitian's expression hardened, a murderous aura rose within him, but then dissipated helplessly.

Of course, he couldn't chop off Su Youqian's head. He was one of the heirs to the throne, and without the emperor's permission, who could chop off his head?

"A scoundrel who has utterly disgraced the royal family."

A young man next to him sneered, looking down on Su Youqian.

This young man was dressed in a Bagua robe, with a straight posture, square face, high nose, thick lips, and eyes that looked arrogant and haughty.

His disdain for Su Youqian was written all over his face.

"you like her."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the young man, then at Ye Yiqing, and knew the answer.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Unfortunately, she doesn't like you."

Liu Chengfeng laughed, showing no respect to the young man.

The powerful figures present at the Grandmaster's Mansion were all secretly amused, but dared not say anything due to the young man's identity.

"presumptuous--"

The young man's expression changed drastically. He shouted at Liu Chengfeng, and flames suddenly blazed up on his body, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

The power of the second-stage Divine Treasury erupted, and a wave of heat swept over us.

"Cheng Nan, what are you trying to do?"

Upon seeing that the young man was about to make a move, Su Youqian shouted in a deep voice.

"Get out of my way, lest I accidentally hurt you!"

This young man didn't take Su Youqian seriously. He was much stronger than Su Youqian and was also one of the three henchmen of the Grandmaster's Mansion.

"Cheng Nan, Liu Chengfeng has come today to solve the Thunderfire Divine Board!"

Ye Yiqing stepped forward and gave the young man a stern rebuke.

"Yiqing, I just wanted to teach this brat who's talking nonsense a lesson."

The young man said awkwardly.

Cheng Nan, a genius of the Cheng family, is the most talented alchemist in Qiuchi Kingdom and one of the three guardians of the Grandmaster's Mansion, holding a noble status.

Liu Chengfeng is right, Cheng Nan does like Ye Yiqing, but unfortunately, Ye Yiqing doesn't like him.

"Put everything else aside and get him to undo the Thunder and Fire God Board first."

Ye Yitian raised his hand to stop him, staring at Liu Chengfeng with an imposing aura.

"If you can't break the Thunderfire Divine Plate, your head will roll today."

Ye Yitian made no attempt to conceal her murderous intent.

Ye Yiqing looked at Liu Chengfeng, her expression becoming tense as well, nervous about her life's most important matter.

If she can untie the Thunder and Fire Divine Board, everything will be fine. If she can't, then she really will have to marry Su Youqian.

If she can't unravel the Thunderfire Divine Board, she'll be the first to not let Liu Chengfeng off the hook.

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the Thunderfire Divine Tablet and smiled. He did not open his Sky Eye to observe its changes or unravel its mysteries.

The stone lion had already told him the method when it summoned him.

Liu Chengfeng did not immediately attempt to solve the mystery. He circled around and saw four deep wells inside the main hall, leading underground and reaching unfathomable depths.

"These are the Eyes of Thunder and Fire. Only after all four Eyes of Thunder and Fire are filled can the door behind be opened. Simply opening the door behind is useless."

"Because the ancestral hall token is needed to open the ancestral hall. There are two ancestral hall tokens, one in the hands of the Grand Marshal and the other in the hands of His Majesty."

Su Youqian whispered to Liu Chengfeng.

No wonder Emperor Qiuchi wasn't afraid of the Grand Marshal comprehending the Thunder and Fire Divine Tablet and activating the ancestral temple; it turns out there was such a thing.

"Can you open it?"

Ye Yiqing was anxious when she saw that Liu Chengfeng showed no intention of opening the Thunderfire Divine Board.

"Hmph, even the Grand Marshal has been studying this for a long time and still hasn't figured it out. How could a mere brat from the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury possibly comprehend it?" Cheng Nan stared at Liu Chengfeng. If the Grand Marshal couldn't understand it, neither could they. He didn't believe that a mere brat from the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury could comprehend it.

Since the seal on the ancestral hall loosened and strange phenomena appeared on the Thunder and Fire Divine Board, Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang knew that there was an opportunity to activate the ancestral hall.

He pondered the mystery here day and night, but he could not fathom the profound secrets of the Thunder and Fire Divine Board and could not activate the ancestral hall.

All the experts in the Grandmaster's Mansion tried to comprehend it, but all of them failed.

That's why Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang agreed to Su Youqian's conditions; otherwise, why would he have agreed?

"You mean, Grand Marshal is no good, his talent is very poor, and he can't even comprehend this little bit of divine script?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Cheng Nan.

"You, you're spouting nonsense!"

Cheng Nan's face flushed red with anger as he glared at Liu Chengfeng.

"If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll cut off your head!"

"Cheng Nan—"

Ye Yiqing's face darkened; she didn't want anyone to ruin her life's most important event.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have the ability, unlock this magic board now. Otherwise, I'll cut off your head first."

Ye Yiqing stared at Liu Chengfeng, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"You people just cut off my head at the drop of a hat. Do you think my head is so easy to cut off?"

Liu Chengfeng simply sat down.

"Killing you is no difficult task!"

Ye Yitian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a fiery aura swept over him, like a raging fire soaring into the sky.

"I want to see how easy it is."

Liu Chengfeng stood up and took out the Thunder Cudgel.

"If it's going to be a fight, is it just a matter of numbers?"

Su Youqian didn't stand on ceremony and immediately summoned his bodyguards.

The experts from the Grandmaster's Mansion immediately shouted, and dozens of them surrounded them.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became extremely tense, and a major battle was about to break out.

"enough--"

A deep shout, like a thunderclap, unleashed the overwhelming power of the Great Dao, instantly overwhelming both sides and knocking them over.

Both the Iron Guards and the experts from the Grandmaster's Mansion were suppressed.

"Da Sima——"

Everyone was startled. Even before the person arrived, the power of the Great Dao was already overwhelming, making it hard to breathe.

"Today is the day of the divine revelation!"

The Grand Marshal did not show his face, but his words were full of authority.

"Debunking the divine board is one thing, but is this how the Grandmaster's Mansion treats its guests?"

The Grand Marshal's power was terrifying, but Liu Chengfeng remained calm.

"My disciple is rude. Please forgive him, young friend. Please explain the divine board."

Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang maintained his superior attitude and commanding tone. Moreover, the overwhelming power of his Great Dao forced people to obey.

Liu Chengfeng's gaze sharpened.

"So, if I don't understand, then I can forget about leaving here."

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold laugh.

“This is an agreement.”

Ye Yiqing also looked coldly at Liu Chengfeng.

"Okay, then let's solve it."

"Young friend, can you really solve this?"

Even Ye Ziyang, one of the three strongest experts in Qiuchi Kingdom, couldn't fathom Liu Chengfeng's straightforwardness.

"Is it that difficult? Isn't the Grandmaster's Mansion full of geniuses? How can they not solve this?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Ye Yitian and the others with a half-smile.

Ye Yitian and Cheng Nan's expressions changed; they were both known as young geniuses.

"How arrogant! Even if you have a month, you can forget about unlocking the Thunderfire Divine Board."

Cheng Nan sneered; he didn't believe that a mere kid from a treasure mountain could unlock the secrets.

"A month? Are you that stupid? I wouldn't even need half a quarter of an hour."

"Half an hour?"

Not only Ye Yitian and his group didn't believe it, but even Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang didn't believe it.

"Young friend, don't make boastful claims."

"Such a simple thing, why make boasts? It can be solved with ease."

Liu Chengfeng's words startled Su Youqian, and he frantically tried to signal to Liu Chengfeng with his eyes.

He knew that Liu Chengfeng was a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years, but even the Grand Marshal couldn't solve the Thunderfire Divine Tablet after studying it for so long.

Liu Chengfeng said that the promise of half an hour was too boastful and that he might be embarrassed later.

"Such arrogance! You think you can solve it so easily! If you can solve it so easily, then I'll..."

"Kneel down and call me Dad? No, I don't have such a spineless son."

"you--"

Cheng Nan was so angry that his face turned red and he trembled.

"What, you want to gamble but don't dare? Are you that timid?"

Liu Chengfeng gave him a cold look.

"Fine, if you can untie it easily, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you; otherwise, I'll cut off your head and turn it into a chamber pot."

Cheng Nan is a genius alchemist and is respected by everyone. When has he ever been humiliated like this?

"It's a word."

"It's a deal! I'm taking your head!"

Cheng Nan's eyes were filled with murderous intent; he could not quell his hatred without killing Liu Chengfeng.

"This is not child's play, nor is it an act of impulse. The Thunderfire Divine Tablet is of utmost importance. You have ample time to decipher it..."

Ye Yiqing was anxious. She least wanted to see this kind of gambling, as it concerned her life's most important matter.

Ye Yiqing's words were abruptly cut off before she could finish speaking.

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng reached out and pressed down on the Thunderfire Divine Board. His inner energy circulated, and thunder and fire appeared on the board.

Divine inscriptions are carved on the scepter, penetrating the stone and reaching into the ground.

At that moment, every divine script lit up, and flames appeared.

"go--"

With a deep shout from Liu Chengfeng, the thunder and fire condensed, and the divine runes instantly pierced through the earth. With a "boom," the entire earth resounded with a muffled thud.
