YM778.TV Chapter 259: 221 Steal Home_3
…
Liang Hong was overjoyed after receiving the Electro-Purification Talisman.
He was now rubbing his hands together in anticipation, preparing to expel the evil spirits and ascend to the throne.
Holding the Talisman firmly in his hands, Liang Hong walked with head held high and chest out, striding towards the Emperor’s bedchamber.
The ones guarding the entrance to the bedchamber were still Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Zhang.
“Your Highness, Prince Chu.”
Although the two eunuchs did not wish to see Liang Hong, their years of professional training were without question.
A standard eunuch’s face was at their fingertips.
“I want to see Father Emperor,” Liang Hong said arrogantly.
“His Majesty has only just recovered from a severe illness; it is not convenient.”
“I don’t care, I want to see Father Emperor.”
“Your Highness, Prince Chu, it’s really not convenient.”
Liang Hong thought to himself, last time when Jiang Cheng came, you didn’t say this, so why can’t I do the same?
“I’ve specifically prepared the Talisman to expel evil spirits, I must see Father Emperor!”
Eunuch Liu put on a stern face and said, “Please, Your Highness, do not raise your voice and disturb His Majesty’s rest.”
Today, Liang Hong simply refused to believe in this nonsense.
“If you don’t step aside, I will force my way through.”
Eunuch Liu replied, “If Your Highness has nothing to do, you can join our Imperial Army soldiers and rest in the side hall.”
Liang Hong insisted, “I am not afraid, I must enter today!”
Escorted by the Imperial Army, Liang Hong successfully entered the side hall to rest.
Eunuch Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Prince Chu is so domineering, Eunuch Liu, you really have the patience.”
Eunuch Liu chuckled, “Without Jiang Cheng here, he alone can’t stir up any trouble.”
“The old ancestor isn’t around today, right?”
“Mind your own business about the old ancestor. Just guard the door, that’s enough.”
At nightfall, the bustling activity at the royal tombs finally drew to a close.
Despite the fierce battle between the Blood Orange Tree and the Ironclad Figurines that seemed to have left the royal tombs in ruins,
in reality, both lacked intelligence.
The destruction was quite superficial.
The ruins of the royal tombs were only superficial structures.
The truly valuable treasures underground were almost completely preserved.
According to the burial customs of the Liang Kingdom,
each emperor would be interred with a multitude of exotic and precious treasures.
Among them were various natural treasures greatly beneficial to cultivating immortality.
The things stored in the royal tombs were the treasured resources of the Great Liang royal family.
Since the reconstruction work required a temporary shutdown of the tomb’s defense Formation, Liang Heng needed to keep a close watch on the tomb, to prevent any mishaps.
Taking advantage of the unattended night, Liang Heng approached the underground entrance of the royal tomb.
He placed his palm on the chamber mechanism, and the tomb’s grand doors slowly opened.
Liang Heng walked along the winding underground corridors.
Each chamber he passed displayed the remains of acquaintances.
As an individual of ancient heritage, none of Liang Heng’s friends from his era remained in this world.
In the end, cultivating immortality was destined to be accompanied by loneliness.
As Liang Heng walked, he heard some noises, swept the area with his Divine Sense, and quickly furrowed his brow.
The lively tomb-raiding scene.
Every face was brimming with the joy of their finds.
“What are you doing?”
“Tomb robbing! Can’t you see?”
The Tomb Robber was unashamed and then slapped a stack of Talismans into Liang Heng’s hands.
“You must be Cousin Zhou Qi, right? You’re a bit late. Go and start on the next chamber.”
“How should I dig?”
“How? With Talismans of course! Didn’t Zhou Qi tell you? Come on, watch this.”
The Tomb Robber demonstrated the power of the Land Naming Charm for Liang Heng.
Instantly, a large hole could be made in the limestone wall.
The Tomb Robber boasted proudly, “How about that? Impressive, right? Fifty pieces per charm, today if we don’t bring more, this trip is a total loss, hurry up and get to work.”
Liang Heng was indeed shocked
Not shocked that someone was robbing a tomb.
But shocked by the Talisman.
He recalled the last time he emerged from seclusion was two hundred years ago.
Back then, everything was normal.
How had a perfectly good Talisman become like this in just two hundred years?
Who the hell did this?
