Chapter 258 – Where Was the Key?

“I wonder what the Roc Clan meant? Why are they involved in this mess?”
I don’t understand.
Seeing that the Demon Clan had decided to deal with the humans because of this Wei Yang, the Roc Clan came over to take over.
Taking on the crime of slaughtering the Demon Clan, was this dismembering the Demon Clan?
“From now on, the Demon Clan will probably become disloyal. It’s impossible to recruit them.”
“Let them fight!”
The Elder of the Wolf Clan was helpless.
Suddenly, he felt that everything in the world had changed. It was no longer under their control.
Everything started from the moment Li Mu’s name spread across the Continent.
“By the way, where is the real Li Mu?”
Thinking of Li Mu, the Wolf Clan had another headache.
There was an even more powerful son of fate!
“I’m not sure!”
“What’s the result of the divination?”
“I can’t find him. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere.”
“He’s even more mysterious than that Wei Yang?”
Wei Yang was the son of fate, so they had to endure it.
There was also a person who couldn’t be divined at any cost.
“The Human Clan should be thriving!”
“Patriarch, according to the results of the previous divination, if the humans are thriving, the Demon Clans would be in chaos and our forces would decline. At present, the Demon Clan is still stable and there are no signs of decline. But the Human Clan has continuously produced children of fate.”
“The Demon Clan is not far from chaos! Just wait and see! If the Roc Clan does this, the Demon Clan will quickly split up.”
As time passed.
Before the Dragon Clan took the bait, the Fox Clan began to kill the Rat Clan to increase their strength.
The other Demon Clans might have sensed the tension and tried their best to increase their clan’s strength, snatching resources from all over the place.
Conflicts and grudges slowly accumulated within the Demon Clans.
Originally, many Demon Clans were at odds with each other on the surface, but after a few years, they no longer communicate with each other.
East continent’s Xu family.
Chu Qing and the others gathered once again.
“Senior Xu, take a look at these few keys. Which was the one that your family used to leave this world?”
In the past two years, they had mobilized their forces to search for the key that Xu Xiao was talking about.
At first, after the various “keys” came out, Xu Xiao simply drew out the true shape of the key.
After searching for a year, Chu Qing and the others had sent out almost all the people they had connections with. They even gave out rewards.
Year after year, the keys that they had searched for were brought to the Xu Family.
Every time, Xu Xiao would shake his head.
“So many years have passed. Even if the key is still there, it would probably be broken.”
Glancing at the pile of jade walls in front of him, Xu Xiao shook his head.
If the key was so easy to find, the Xu Family would have found it long ago. They had been waiting for it for so many years.
“Can the key be replicated?” Liu Yu stretched his neck and asked.
“No!”
Xu Xiao shook his head.
Sigh.
Disappointment filled the room.
“The key is a small disk array left behind by a human senior. This disk array runs counter to the enchantment outside. It can open a small gap,” Xu Xiao continued.
That enchantment was not set up by an ordinary person.
It was built by several array masters with their own lives because the senior was worried that the humans would be exterminated by the Demon Clans.
Other than the original key, no one could duplicate it.
“It’s the opposite of the enchantment?”
Hearing this, everyone’s mood fell to the bottom.
Discouraged!
What was the enchantment?
It was the first time they heard about it.
It directly sealed a world, and so many experts from outside couldn’t enter.
Such a powerful thing and the key had to go against it.
Who knew what kind of powerful array glyphs were carved on the small jade wall.
“Only by going against the barrier can it be opened.”
“If it goes against the barrier, won’t it be repelled by the barrier?”
Old Demon Han asked suspiciously.
“The key is the key, and there is an array formation inside that is compatible with the barrier!”
“Compatible with the barrier, how can it go against it?”
“I don’t know either. After finding the key, it can be opened by using vital essence at a unique location. As for the rest, I want to figure it out as well, but it feels too strenuous,” Xu Xiao explained.
“Then we can only continue to search!”
Old Demon Han stood up and left in frustration.
A moment later, Liu Wei also stood up and bowed to Xu Xiao before turning around and leaving.
Underground Palace of Great Xia.
Liu An woke up from his cultivation.
With the explosion of the Well of Prenatal Qi, the experts of the State of Great Xia continued to develop.
In just two hundred years, there were many Virtual Realm experts.
Among them, Liu An’s cultivation was the highest, followed by Liu Wei.
The other two were also the people closest to Liu An.
The South Continent, a territory of the State of Great Xia had been expanded, occupying half of the South Continent.
The other territories were occupied by the various great families of the South Continent.
Among these big families, the most powerful one was the Xia Family.
Liu Yu, Liu Tingting, and Old Demon Han were three Virtual Realm experts.
Speaking of which, these three were inextricably linked to the State of Great Xia.
Especially Liu Yu, who still admitted that he was the ninth emperor of the State of Great Xia.
The State of Great Xia was at peace, the South Continent would be at peace.
“The peak of the Virtual Realm and you haven’t found the key yet?” Liu An turned around and asked.
Shua!
A young man dressed in a dragon robe appeared behind him.
“Reporting to Grandpa, the people from the Imperial Household Department and the secret police have almost turned the entire South Continent upside down. The things they found don’t seem to be the same.”
“Have you gone to Zhongzhou and the East Continent to look for it?”
“I’ve already sent people there. However, our forces in the other regions are weak. It’ll be troublesome to look for it. I reckon that it’ll take some time.”
“What about the West Continent?” Liu An closed his eyes and thought for a while before suddenly asking.
Back then, after the Xu Family traitors took the Xu Family’s things, they fled everywhere. They must have thought of heading to the West Continent to leave this world.
If that kid had been to the West Continent and realized that he was not capable enough, he could be beaten back by the desert.
During this time, that kid lost the key in the West Continent.
“Grandfather, the West Continent is a desert. If that thing is in the West Continent, it would probably be buried in the sand. If our people were to search for the key in the desert, wouldn’t it be the same as searching for a needle in a haystack?”
“Do your best and leave it to fate!” Liu An thought for a moment and said.
He had to search.
If he failed, he would give up.
“Yes~”
The young emperor was stunned for a moment before he respectfully withdrew.
He returned to the Hall of Harmony and sat down on a chair. Then, he leaned against the chair and let out a long sigh.
“Your Majesty, did the old ancestor give you some difficult questions again?”
An old eunuch came out from the side.
“The imperial grandfather asked me to send people to search for some key in the West Continent’s Desert. Isn’t this making things difficult for people?”
The young emperor rubbed his forehead with one hand.
He did not dare to disobey his grandfather’s words.
“The people of the State of Great Xia are living a rich life now, and there are many experts within the country. We can send them out for a walk. Firstly, it will give them more training, and secondly, they can also do missions. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, as long as Your Majesty does it, the ancestor will not blame you.”
“What do you mean?”
The young emperor sat up straight.
“Using this to order around these unruly experts within the State of Great Xia, it is all the old ancestor’s idea. When the time comes, everything will be easy to say,” the old eunuch said.
The emperor’s eyes lit up.
With a powerful old emperor like Liu An around, he was like a puppet, and he did not have much power in his hands.
Many experts in the palace were indifferent to him.
If this was the case, this might be the beginning of a transition of power.
In the underground palace, Liu An’s perked-up ears fell.
“This child is worth teaching! This way, one day when I leave the State of Great Xia to look for Eunuch Li, I can be at ease.”
