197 Martial Emperor (1)


    Hong Luan controlled the movement of the Scripture Chamber, and as the mechanism was activated, Liu Yuan and He Qingmeng quickly returned to where the others were.


    “How is it?” Tang Yuanhua stepped forward and asked, “Are you sure that Lady Qingmeng’s clues will lead us to the library where Marrow-Cleansing Scripture is located?”


    The rest of them had a look of urgency in their eyes. Coming here meant that they were only one step away from the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. Now that the mission target was right in front of them, they had been waiting patiently before, but now they more or less revealed their true desire.


    After all, they had epted the Green Centipede’s mission and had a clear goal. If they could not get the items required for the mission and get the reward given by the Green Centipede, then the risks they had taken and the losses they had suffered would all be in vain. No one would be able to ept it.


    Moreover, with the demotion and corresponding punishment, it was equivalent to a deduction.


    Not only did they not gain anything from this trip, but they also had to pay for it…


    It was no wonder that their desire for missions was far greater than anything else. People like Liu Yuan, who one could tell at a nce was not simple, did not have much care or desire tomunicate.


    He was not like Tang Yuanhua, who would make friends with a purpose.


    After all, people like Tang Yuanhua and Pang Ying were still fine. After all, they had sects behind them. They could afford to lose one or two missions. However, it was not necessarily the case for the others. They were all itinerant cultivators who had no sects to rely on.


    There were only two possibilities for working for the Green Centipede. One was that they had some ability but no connections and were low-ranking Immortal cultivators, sect disciples, or loose cultivators. The other was that they were like the two little foxes, Su Bi and Su Zhuang, who came out to gain experience and use the Green Centipede as a springboard to earn some extra money.


    The former was the majority, but there were also differences in level.


    The middle and lower sses were still the main force, just like the people here. They could not afford to fail the mission.


    Now that they were getting closer and closer to the location of Marrow-Cleansing Scripture, everyone knew that, just like they had agreed on in the beginning, the two parties would temporarily cooperate during the process of the exploration. However, once they finally saw Marrow-Cleansing Scripture, it would mean that this cooperation would temporarilye to an end.


    It was only a matter of time before they fell out with each other. Many of these people could not hold back their expressions anymore.


    However, as the temporary leader of the team, Tang Yuanhua’s attitude was obviously biased towards Liu Yuan and the others, which was for his own benefit. This caused many of them to be dissatisfied, and he was afraid that there would be conflictster.


    It’s fine if you don’t want to do the mission, you can still earn connections. But if we don’tplete the mission, we can’t survive. In this case, the interests of both sides sh.


    There would always be a final owner for the legacy of a Martial Emperor.


    At that time, a winner would still have to be decided.


    Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Liu Yuan looked around. In the past, when they were clearing dungeons, it was inevitable to encounter a few weirdos, let alone now.


    He said calmly, “Miss Qingmeng has a secret technique that is somewhat rted to the Martial Emperor. She discovered something strange just now, but she was too timid to say it out loud… She only told me that she is willing to lead the way to the strange ce. Pleasee with me.”


    As for the secret technique, that’s probably the part that I can’t say…


    “What do you all think?” Tang Yuanhua nodded. “It would seem that we were already close to our final goal. However, in such a top-secret location, there would probably be formations or other guardians obstructing us. If you are unable to do so, or if you are severely injured, you can rest here for a while and wait for us to return. ording to the rules of the Green Centipede, if a participant is recorded with a photostone, it will also be counted as a contribution, but the corresponding amount will be reduced.”


    After all, the Green Centipede was not really an evil sect. Although it was walking in the gray area, it would still consider fairness and rationality, so it set this rule. It did not encourage everyone to do unscrupulous things in order toplete the mission or monopolize the mission rewards. It did not encourage people to kill everyone and then take the rewards for themselves.


    Sure enough, two people among the crowd retreated. Although they were unwilling, they looked at their own injuries and finally smiled bitterly, wishing the others a smooth return. They sat on the spot and continued to recuperate.


    Although there was no spiritual power here, there was no obstruction in regting one’s breath and healing injuries. After all, martial artists also needed to meditate.


    It was just that the efficiency of this kind of healing was too low. After all, it was not in some games where there was a breathing and blood recovery method. Moreover, the healing potions were basically used up. If they tried to hold on, they would probably only be waiting for death.


    Hong Luan had to stay here to control the library, so she could only stay.


    Liu Yuan was worried about the puppet’s safety, so he asked the two little foxes, who seemed to be chatting happily with Hong Luan, to stay here.


    Zhiying and Chuichui’sbat power was the highest. Thinking that they might have to face the Martial Emperor’s true bodyter, he had to bring them along.


    Although the two little foxes wanted to go with him, they still obeyed Liu Yuan’s orders. They obediently said goodbye to him and tugged at his clothes, saying that he muste back early. They looked like virtuous young fox wives.


    Liu Yuan smiled and patted the two little foxes’ heads. He turned around and entered one of the libraries with the others.


    Everyone’s n was to make use of the movement of the library rooms and then rely on He Qingmeng’s ‘secret technique’ to guide them closer and closer to find the location of Marrow-Cleansing Scripture.


    “Is that the ce?” Liu Yuan asked. He squinted his eyes and looked at a small room that was slowly approaching. This was already located at a very high ce. In theplicated Scripture Chamber, it was very well hidden.


    From the outside, there was nothing special about it. This library was no different from the others, and it could not be seen on the surface.


    He Qingmeng nodded and pressed her hand to her chest. “It’s there. I have a very strong feeling.”


    “Be careful,” Tang Yuanhua said from behind.


    When they reached the ce, everyone entered the library, all of them careful not to make any big movements.


    Only then did Liu Yuan realize the difference.


    The other rooms were like libraries, with only neatly arranged bookshelves and many books. But this room was different. Other than the bookshelves, there was a desk, a few chairs, and a few puppet parts scattered on the floor. They seemed to be the works of the Puppeteer.


    It was filled with the aura of life.


    The feeling it gave off was that someone had lived here before, unlike the other libraries which were simply libraries.


    Whoosh!


    All of a sudden, one of the men who had been following Tang Yuanhua rushed out like a gust of wind and extended his hand toward an eye-catching book on the table.
