With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Nangong Wu then realized that she really didn't know where the Wan family was.

Bei Chenyan carried her across several streets before stopping and standing on the ridge of a two-story roof.

"That grand mansion up ahead is the Wan family's." He pointed forward.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu took out a night vision telescope to investigate.

The mansion of the emperor's father-in-law was magnificent and grand, covering a vast area. The pavilions and towers inside were arranged in a well-organized manner, with winding corridors and beautiful gardens. It had everything one could want, and was luxurious and exquisite in every way, comparable to a small palace.

"As expected of the emperor's father-in-law, he is indeed wealthy."

"I know where their warehouse is, and where the guards are the strongest," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu didn't reply, but swept him into her spatial dimension with a thought, "You'd better stay in there obediently!"

The space is transparent; he can't get out, but he can see everything outside.

Nangong Wu flew towards the Emperor's father-in-law's residence.

With her current skills and this invisibility cloak, she can go anywhere without anyone noticing or stopping her.

After entering the Wan family, she first found a secluded and quiet place, took out a metal detector, and wanted to find out where the Wan family had the most silver.

After surveying the area, he packed up his belongings, leaped onto a rockery, and determined his direction.

The Wan family has a lot of money, but it's scattered, which shows that each master in the mansion has a very large private treasury.

She's only collecting interest tonight, so she'll just go to the place with the most silver.

At this moment, Bei Chenyan's voice came out, "Nangong Wu, let me out, and I promise I won't get in your way. I'll stay in one place and wait for you."

He couldn't stay in the space; if Nangong Wu got trapped, none of them would be able to get out.

"What a nuisance." Nangong Wu released him.

"The Wan family mansion has many secrets and is equipped with traps and formations, so you must be careful," Bei Chenyan warned her.

"I know," Nangong Wu nodded.

She showed him the monitor, "About 230 meters from here, at the 11 o'clock position to the north, we discovered an underground vault with the most gold and silver artifacts."

"An underground vault with the most gold and silver artifacts?" Bei Chenyan couldn't help but look north, secretly calculating that the two hundred and thirty meters she mentioned was about seventy or eighty zhang in distance.

His expression changed slightly. "That place is forbidden territory of the Wan family."

"The Wan family actually has a forbidden area?" Nangong Wu laughed upon hearing this.

A forbidden area is one that is off-limits to people, indicating that it holds some great secret.

"Yes, when I was a child, I often went out of the palace to play at the Ming family’s house. I played hide-and-seek with some of the other children my age. Then I accidentally wandered into the forbidden area and triggered a mechanism inside. Several arrows shot out, but luckily there were experts guarding the area. They came out with their swords to block the arrows for me."

I was terrified. My grandfather rushed over and was also terrified. He took me back and punished the guards with twenty strokes of the cane each, and also confined the children to their quarters for three months.

"It is indeed a dangerous place." Nangong Wu's eyes sparkled.

The Wan family had hidden their vast fortune in the back mountains, which presented her with an excellent opportunity.

Bei Chenyan sighed softly, "Then I'll wait for you outside."

I know that once this woman decides to do something, she will definitely do it, and there's just no way to stop her.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do." Nangong Wu put away the detector. "Let's go over there and take a look first."

"I'll take you there," Bei Chenyan said, and they flew away together.

When they stopped again, they had reached the outer edge of the forbidden area and were standing on a large tree.

"The Wan family were also founding heroes. They were granted the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan by the ancestral emperor, a hereditary title. Later, several empresses came from the Wan family. My grandfather only married my grandmother, whom he doted on."

However, my grandmother was ill-fated and sickly. She had no children after more than ten years in the palace and passed away before she was thirty! Before her death, she hoped that my grandfather would treat all families well.

The Emperor's grandfather was heartbroken and, in accordance with her last wish, bestowed this mansion upon the Wan family. He also personally wrote the plaque for "The Imperial Father-in-Law's Mansion." Decades have passed, and the Wan family has enjoyed continuous favor and wielded immense power, which has led them to harbor some inappropriate thoughts... Bei Chenyan told her some old stories.

"He only married the Empress, had no children for over ten years in the palace, and died before he was thirty?" Nangong Wu asked疑惑地, "Then who was your father's child?"

"The Emperor was not born to the Emperor's grandfather, but was the son of the Empress Dowager's second son, and was also the Emperor's grandfather's nephew."

After the passing of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's grandfather reigned for over ten years without remarrying or taking any concubines. When the Emperor's father was established as the new emperor, he already had a queen and a concubine, and three children, including Prince Jing.

"Every woman in the family is as beautiful as a fairy, a beauty that could topple kingdoms. No wonder the emperor is infatuated." Nangong Wu thought his grandfather was a lovesick fool.

As an emperor, to marry only one woman in one's lifetime and have no children, what kind of pressure must that be?

The original owner's grandfather was also a devoted lover, but his grandmother at least gave birth to his mother, a daughter. However, the Empress Dowager still forced him to have two concubines.

"The ancestors of the Wan family were founding heroes, but the next few generations did not produce any outstanding talents. They relied on their ancestors' influence to hold some minor but idle positions in the court."

In order to maintain their wealth and status in the court, the Wan family racked their brains to find beauties to send to the palace. The women they married and the daughters they had were all beautiful, and they spent a lot of money to use the best medicines to maintain their skin.

The Wan family's current wealth and status are entirely due to women. Bei Chenyan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Let's not talk about these things anymore! Let's take care of business first." Nangong Wu took out a night vision telescope and pulled out a leaf to check the situation.

This area is located at the northernmost part of the Wan family estate. It is a piece of land enclosed by a wall, overgrown with weeds, with a few scattered large trees and a few artificial hills.

"I'll go in."

"Be careful." Bei Chenyan knew he couldn't stop her, so he could only remind her to be careful.

"Okay, you wait for me here." Nangong Wu leaped down from the tree and headed towards the forbidden area.

After entering the forbidden area, Nangong Wu stopped, squatted down, took out a tortoise shell, put on a pair of night vision goggles, and began to calculate based on the intricate patterns on the tortoise shell.

After she finished her calculations, a smile appeared on her lips. "This place is indeed laid out according to the principles of Qimen Dunjia, and it's by a master."

But it seems that only the people of Changyang Temple could possess such superb magical skills.

She then took out an antique bronze compass, whose pointer spun around a few times before stopping.

Nangong Wu looked up and followed the direction the pointer was pointing.

It turns out that these trees and artificial hills were planted according to the arrangement of the Nine Palaces, Eight Gates, and Three Wonders and Six Instruments.

The layout here has been analyzed, so there's no need to worry about triggering any mechanisms or formations. The next step is to eliminate the hidden guards here.
