Five days later, Yan Li finally arrived at Zhou Yang. Before he left, he merged the Silver Wing Tribe and the Poisonous Snake Tribe into the Silver Snake Tribe. In Eva, they supported each other.
After five days of learning, the terrain of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was almost the same as that of the Mortal World.
The Eastern Shang Dynasty had ruled the world for six hundred years. Now the world was in chaos, and the feudal lords were divided. Prince Zhou Yang was one of them. However, before he could witness the end of the "Great World War", he had to compete with other heroes for the throne before he died. Huang Shaoyu inherited his father's position and became the new King of Zhou Yang.
When Yan Li returned to the palace, he gathered the three of them together and showed them the token to prove that he was telling the truth. Besides, they might find something new after looking at it.
Huang Shaoyu looked at it for a long time but still couldn't find anything. He pretended to be deep and said, "The truth is probably hidden in it. Why don't you leave it and let me study it carefully?"
"You want to exchange the identity token secretly." Yu Qiuyu exposed him mercilessly.
"How could I?" Huang Shaoyu glared at him. "I'm known in the pugilistic world as a graceful and honest gentleman. I just wanted to help Brother Yan share some of the heavy responsibilities. How dare you slander me? If you weren't my younger brother, I would have beaten you up long ago!"
"Let's have a try." Yu Qiuyu said, and the quaint long sword in his arms suddenly became restless.
"Stop right there!" Yan Li knocked on the table twice and reprimanded them bluntly, "When you are wasting time quarreling, it is very likely that someone has completed the order. Do you really want to be the last one?"
Then, without waiting for the two of them to speak, he continued, "In the past five days, I've been learning about the background of this world. I realized that apart from us, the people in the illusion don't know what cultivation is. The Star Fallen Beasts have also been weakened to a considerable extent. On the way, I also found traces of cultivators fighting. So, if my guess is right, the other students are also scattered in various places in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, carrying out mindless orders. Based on the current situation, it can be inferred that the difficulty of the command is not only to complete it, but also to find the command. "
He glanced at the three of them. "I believe that many students will be stuck at this stage, so we still have time to come out on top."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
"Now tell me, what have you found?" Yan Li said.
"I'll speak first." Lianhai Changjin said, "Regarding the matter of the stone slab, I did find some clues. About a month ago, the high priest of a tribe in West Qi died. After his death, his belongings turned into a stone slab."
"Oh?" Yan Li said, "Where is that tribe? If it's possible, we'll leave immediately! "
"It's too late," Lianhai Changjin said. "That tribe has already been destroyed."
"Destroyed?" Yan Li frowned.
"Yes," Lianhai Changjin said. "A guy called Marquis Dong Bo went on a punitive expedition against that tribe half a month ago. Nobody knows where the stone slab is now."
"Why was it half a month ago?" Yan Li fell into deep thought.
"Why not?" Lianhai Changjin said.
"It's just that there's a possibility," Yan Li pondered and said, "that the other students received a mission that coincidentally conflicted with ours."
"Brother Yan, are you suspecting that someone else's target is also the stone slab, and that Marquis Dong Bo is also a student like Brother Huang?" Lianhai Changjin frowned. "But the timing doesn't match up."
"That's why I'm thinking why it was half a month ago. Do you know where Marquis Dong Bo is? To be on the safe side, it's best that we investigate it ourselves. Changjin, you continue to inquire about the other stone slabs, "Yan Li said.
"Inquiring about information is my specialty." Lianhai Changjin nodded with a smile.
Yan Li turned to Yu Qiuyu. "Qiuyu, how are things on your side?"
Yu Qiuyu said, "A hundred years ago, when the Southern Jiang Country was facing annihilation, an alchemist provided a strategy to repel the enemy in ten days and even annihilate them."
"Who was that alchemist?" Yan Li asked.
"Sudan," Yu Qiuyu said.
"What happened after that?" Yan Li said.
"The Southern Jiang Country continued its conquest and gradually became a big country. It disappeared overnight," Yu Qiuyu said.
His narration was like his style, very concise. There were no ups and downs, but it clearly expressed what he wanted to express.
Yan Li listened and pondered for a moment. He said, "It seems that the Southern Jiang becoming a sinkhole is related to this Sudan. Is there anything more specific? "
Yu Qiuyu shook his head.
"Let me say it," Lianhai Changjin said. "I'm not good at fighting, but it's not difficult for me to inquire about information. This Sudan is the current Imperial Preceptor of the Eastern Shang Dynasty. He is deeply trusted by the Shang King, Xin. The reason why the Southern Jiang Country was able to turn defeat into victory a hundred years ago was that they used a power called 'dragon vein'. "
"Dragon vein!" Yan Li was shocked. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the carvings on the token.
"Yes, dragon vein!" Lianhai Changjin said meaningfully, "The reason why we came here is also because of the dragon vein."
"What do you know?" Yan Li knew that he was referring to China.
"According to the secrets I got from the Lianhai Villa," Lianhai Changjin said, "the source of the power of talismans is the dragon vein itself."
Yan Li couldn't help but take a deep breath and couldn't speak for a long time.
Huang Shaoyu couldn't help but say, "You mean that the Southern Jiang Country used talismans to turn defeat into victory a hundred years ago? But the natives here don't even know how to cultivate, how can they know more advanced talismans? "
"I'm only responsible for inquiring about the information. The inference and results can only be left to you." Lianhai Changjin shrugged.
Yan Li said, "Let's split up. We will find the slate by ourselves. You continue to investigate Sudan and see if the collapse of the Southern Jiang Country has anything to do with the dragon vein. Although the slate may record the truth, we have to be careful. "
"I understand." Lianhai Changjin immediately got up and left.
"Get ready, we are also leaving." Yan Li was about to go out again before he even sat down.
"Where are we going?" Huang Shaoyu hadn't reacted yet.
"You have been listening for so long in vain?" Yan Li said.
Huang Shaoyu just reacted and smiled embarrassedly, "It's an accident, an accident. We are going to find Marquis Dong Bo. This is my home field."
…
The territory of Marquis Dong Bo was unexpectedly a hundred miles away.
Huang Shaoyu ordered his men to write a visitation card and called a carriage to take the three to Marquis Dong Bo's territory.
It was almost dusk when the carriage stopped outside Marquis Dong Bo's mansion. As an accompanying civil official, Yan Li was naturally responsible for calling the door.
The guards at the door saw Yan Li coming over but still stood expressionlessly.
But they believed that if Yan Li dared to break in, the spears in their hands would pierce through Yan Li's heart.
"Prince Zhou Yang wants to see Marquis Dong Bo." Yan Li handed over the visitation card.
