Chapter 705: Relying on the Heaven and Slaying the Dragon
Yang Dingtian didn't know until his death that Liu Jian Slave was sent by Qin Wen for Jia Yu. Before his death, he always thought that Six Sword Slave was a killer sent by Taoism.
After easily dealing with Empress Yang Dingtian, Six Sword Slave naturally wanted to return to Jinyang to resume his life, but just as he was about to leave, he discovered several other rats in the secret passage of the Ming Cult.
"The thief commander Chu Liuxiang, the thief saint Bai Zhantang, the thief god Ji Wuming, the thief Duan Yun, and the thousand-faced fox Hua Daochang?"
Seeing this, Zhen Gang, the leader of the Six Sword Slaves, frowned slightly and murmured to himself: "What are these thieves doing sneaking into the secret passage of the Ming Cult?"
The visitors were none other than the five most famous thieves in the world, but except for Chu Liuxiang, the others were not looked down upon by Six Sword Slave.
Luan Shen saw the murderous look in his eyes and said coldly: "Boss, do you want..."
As he spoke, Luan Shen made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhen Gang was also slightly moved, but considering that the strength of the five thieves was not weak, a real fight would definitely reveal their actions, so he couldn't help but feel hesitant.
"Need not."
Zhen Gang shook his head, and then sneered: "The four thieves turned around and stole priceless treasures. They must have come here to steal the Mingjiao's divine weapons, the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Knife."
Duanshui nodded when he heard this and said, "It is said that these two weapons are the keys to unlocking the treasure of God. I don't know if they are true or not."
"Even if it's true, it has nothing to do with us."
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhen Gang's eyes, and he said calmly: "The five thieves chose this time to come to steal the treasure. We can just blame Yang Dingtian's death on them. Then let them talk all over it. It must not be explained clearly.”
"What a good plan, boss." The other five people flattered him together.
Zhen Gang also laughed proudly when he saw this, but he didn't know that blaming Yang Dingtian's death on the five thieves and allowing them to steal Yitian and slay the dragon was like picking up sesame seeds but losing the watermelon.
The Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were originally two magical weapons in the Han Dynasty's treasury, but they were also the keys selected by Zhang Jiao to open the door to the treasure underground palace.
Half of the huge wealth captured by the Yellow Turbans massacred the world's famous families was used to recruit and train a million-strong army, and half of it was hidden by Zhang Jiao in the 'Tiangong Treasure'.
It is common knowledge that the Tiangong Treasure is located near Luoyang, but its specific location remains a mystery.
After Zhang Jiao's death, Yitian Slaying Dragon was taken away by Zhang Sheng. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, so Zhang Sheng sealed it in the Mingjiao, only to take it out when he returned to Qin in the future.
Who would have thought that the five thieves would take advantage of the eight major sects to besiege Guangmingding and come to steal the treasure when the Mingjiao guards were at their weakest. The Six Sword Slaves belonging to the Qin family had obviously discovered it, but they short-sightedly chose to frame the blame and let it go.
Naturally, Qin Hao would not let go of such a huge amount of wealth, and the Six Sword Slaves' laissez-faire behavior also caused many unnecessary twists and turns in Qin Hao's process of opening the Tiangong's treasure house.
On top of the Bright Summit, the melee ended with the Mingjiao winning in the end.
The children carefully cultivated by the eight major sects are indeed much more powerful than the Mingjiao disciples, so although the Mingjiao won this time, it was only a miserable victory.
The Taoist school really suffered heavy losses this time. The eight major sects lost nearly 70% of their disciples. In addition, many masters also died in the battle. The biggest loss was the death of the great master Zhang Daoling.
Ordinary disciples can continue to be recruited, but great masters are hard to come by, and they cannot be trained even if a lot of resources are spent.
The battle that was supposed to be a sure one actually suffered such a huge loss inexplicably. Considering that Can Ming did not have the combat power of a grand master, Taoists naturally believed that it was caused by the intervention of Bai Jia.
The senior Taoists were naturally extremely angry about this, but they still had no choice but to order the hundreds of families who had already gathered together to do so, and could only order all future actions to be carried out carefully.
In this way, Baijia unknowingly took the blame for Qin Hao and Zhang Sheng.
For such a brilliant victory, before the Mingjiao had time to celebrate, two pieces of bad news followed one after another.
"Report...the leader of Yang Dingtian was assassinated in the secret passage."
When everyone in the Ming Cult learned about it, they were all furious, but then another piece of bad news came.
"Retribution... The Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword were stolen by the five thieves."
Once these two pieces of information were combined, there was no need for the Six Sword Slaves to deliberately put the blame. Everyone had only one idea in mind, that is, the Five Thieves killed Yang Dingtian who was in retreat and stole the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
After coming to this conclusion, everyone in the Ming Cult became excited. Yang Dingtian was still very popular when he was in power, so they all clamored to kill the five thieves to avenge Yang Dingtian.
In this regard, Dongfang Bubai was not concerned about the death of Yang Dingtian, but the theft of the Yitian Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Knife. After all, she knew the importance of these two weapons.
So Dongfang Bubai issued a killing order, and the whole world hunted down the five thieves, avenged Yang Dingtian, and recaptured Yitian Slaying Dragon, vowing to fight the five thieves until death.
After learning that they were being hunted by the Ming Cult, the five thieves also felt very depressed.
First of all, they avoided everyone when they sneaked into the secret passage. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for them to be exposed, but how did the news get exposed?
Secondly, it was true that they stole the weapons, but they didn't even know whether they could kill Yang Dingtian.
After all, there are five of the Five Thieves. Who knows if the other four have killed anyone?
There was no way to ask in detail about this matter. After asking, everyone said that they did not do it, but only the person involved knew the truth.
No matter whether Yang Dingtian was killed by the Five Thieves or not, they were definitely responsible for taking the blame. Besides, it was indeed them who stole the Yitian Slaying Dragon, so they were indeed not unjust to be hunted down.
The five thieves, who were originally famous, suddenly became street rats that everyone wanted to kill. Not only the Mingjiao wanted to hunt them down, but the entire world and all the princes were also hunting them down.
This is the real enemy of the whole world.
At the same time, Xiongba, who left Guangmingding, made a big discovery when passing through Nanyang on his way back to Liangzhou, so he immediately rushed back to Liangzhou without stopping.
Liangzhou, Prefecture Mufu.
Dong Zhuo, wearing a red and black dragon robe and a prince's crown, sat on the main throne, while Li Yuanba stood beside him.
At this time, on the dragon table in front of Dong Zhuo, there were a pot of rice, a pot of sweet potatoes, a pot of potatoes, and a pot of wheat, all of which Xiongba had brought back from Nanyang.
Dong Zhuo glanced at the items on the dragon case, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He asked Xiongba below: "Xiongba, what are these?"
Xiongba raised his head and replied respectfully: "My lord, these are new crops discovered by my subordinates in Nanyang, and they are all edible food."
