"It's him!"

At this moment, Liu Sheng seemed like an aggrieved old man, "Too selfish, just to ensure his chosen one gains advancement, he even insists on taking action with the Three Dukes to start this war!"

Chosen one?

"Who?"

"Guan Yao!"

"Why must it be this way?"

Chen Xuan asked, even if it's for honing battle skills, it's not necessary, right?

"Path of Slaughter!"

Upon hearing this, he furrowed his brow. What is this?

Liu Sheng knew he didn't understand and immediately explained, "Similar to rules, yet not rules. The Path of Slaughter is ancient, and to this day, only Duke Yuan has successfully cultivated it."

"To cultivate this path, endless slaughter is required!"

"In other words, it's about cultivating through killing, and it must be with true killing intent. That's why he's insistent on attacking the Stone Race!"

"Such a sinister method!"

Chen Xuan slowly spoke.

Cultivating through killing, this method... seems quite evil.

"It's more than just sinister!"

"If a cultivator's will is weak and loses their senses, they could become a puppet of slaughter!"

"So if this Guan Yao fails, it's all for naught?"

"That's one of the reasons I'm trying to stop it."

Liu Sheng felt it was too risky. Over the years, only Duke Yuan succeeded in cultivation; the others became puppets of killing intent, walking corpses, and were ultimately eliminated by Duke Yuan himself without exception.

"Hiss—"

Chen Xuan gasped, Duke Yuan is ruthless!

"Phew—"

Liu Sheng took a long breath, "Enough! Your Majesty has agreed to it, even if I disagree, there's nothing I can do. Let them mess around!"

He's said all he could, and done all he can.

Just as the young man said earlier, do one's best and leave the rest to fate!

Liu Sheng couldn't help but gaze at Chen Xuan, not expecting that with this young man's arrival, not only did his mood improve, but he also saw this matter with clearer eyes.

"What's the matter, Chief Eunuch?"

Chen Xuan, seeing him staring, asked curiously.

"Oh, why have you come to Zhan Tian?"

"Regarding questions about cultivating the Sacred Body, I wanted to consult Elder Zhan, but he's in seclusion with Xiaoqi!"

"Problems arose?"

Liu Sheng immediately became nervous, not just because the Burial Grounds require his presence, but also because he truly considers Chen Xuan as part of his inner circle for cultivation.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan felt warmth in his heart and quickly explained, "No problem, Chief Eunuch need not worry, just some doubts."

"That's good!"

Seeing him say so, Liu Sheng was also relieved.

"By the way, I wanted to ask Chief Eunuch something."

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered yesterday's deduction, many people know, but no one knew what actually happened then.

"Speak!"

"Was Qin Tiandao involved when the Marquis Ning was assassinated by the Southern King?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng's expression froze, then he slowly asked, "Where did you get this information?"

"Then it's true!"

From his expression, Chen Xuan knew his deduction wasn't wrong.

"The Southern King wanted the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique, I can understand that, but Qin Tiandao at the time? He wasn't, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng fell silent.

Chen Xuan didn't press, simply waited quietly for him to speak.

"Sigh!"

Suddenly, Liu Sheng let out a heavy sigh.

"This matter involves the Imperial Family, Your Majesty once decreed that the details are not to be disclosed."

"I can only tell you that the Marquis Ning acquired a treasure, a treasure that would drive the entire Eastern Continent mad, but this treasure was ultimately hidden by Marquis Ning."

"No one knows its whereabouts."

"So eventually Qin Tiandao got involved; all of Marquis Ning's descendants survived for this treasure!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Sheng slowly nodded.

This matter involves more than Qin Tiandao, many Princes were involved; otherwise, with Marquis Ning's strength, even if the Southern King ambushed him, he couldn't kill him!

He even suspected that behind this, Your Majesty might have personally directed it.

But this was just his suspicion.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled coldly, "So the righteous Prince in Great Yu's eyes is such a person!"

"It's just a disguise, those little brats are most adept at it."

Liu Sheng laughed lightly.

Yet, Chen Xuan quickly thought of something and immediately said,

"But wait, wasn't it said that the Southern King couldn't open the treasure, and Your Majesty placed it in the Burial Grounds?"

"That's actually the key to opening the treasure!"

Key?

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, could it be....

He understood instantly why he couldn't open the box, the key was missing.

Marquis Ning hid the treasure and kept the key to himself.

Should have foreseen something?

But unexpectedly, the Southern King assassinated him!

"What does this key look like?"

If it truly is the key to open the box, then he must get it, he really wants to know what this so-called treasure is?

Enough to entice Qin Tiandao to take such risks in hunting down Marquis Ning.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng saw a subtle change in his expression, then his brows slightly furrowed.

But Chen Xuan, with a slight smile, asked very calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Never mind!"

Liu Sheng wanted to voice his doubts but ultimately chose to abandon it, everyone has their own secrets.

He's come this far, except for this Stone Cave, always relying on himself.

There must be a grand opportunity involved here.

"It's a sealed array diagram."

Liu Sheng ultimately chose to tell him.

"Array diagram?"

Chen Xuan pondered, recalling the array on the box, with his mastery, he had no clue, seems the problem indeed lies here.
