Yangzhou.
At night, Yangzhou City, which had been noisy all day, has quieted down.
It was quiet all around, and occasionally a few birds could be seen flying by.
At night, the moonlight shines in the city, bringing a sense of mystery and beauty to this famous Lingcheng city in the eastern region of Daxia.
But in the eastern part of the city, in the mansion of the Ximen Family, the lights were still bright, and it seemed that there had never been darkness.
at this time.
In an ancient palace deep inside the Ximen Family, stood a middle-aged man wearing black brocade clothes.
This middle-aged man has an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. He has a majestic aura about him that can only be achieved by staying in a high position for a long time!
This person had appeared in Xiawang City on the day Qin Wuhen ascended the throne, pointing out the country from across the city tower, but he did not show up.
He is the contemporary head of the Ximen Family, Ximen Song!
In the entire Daxia Dynasty, he can be regarded as a famous figure!
But at this time.
However, Ximen Song looked extremely respectful and was bowing to a dark ancient coffin in the center of the hall: "Reporting to the Seventh Ancestor, the news of Shiwandashan has been confirmed. It is a relic formed by the death of an immortal!"
Click!
As soon as Ximen Song finished speaking, a harsh sound suddenly came from the ancient coffin!
Immediately afterwards, the coffin lid suddenly slid out of thin air, and a skinny old man with decayed skin and white beard and hair sat up from the coffin!
"Immortal ruins?"
The old man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was slightly aging, but his pair of sunken eyes were staring at Ximen Song with piercing energy!
"Yes!"
Ximensong looked respectful, cupped his hands slightly and said: "Second brother, it has been determined that there is more than a 50% chance that it will be left by an immortal!"
"But for some reason, the news leaked out. Now all the countries have sent people to investigate. I am afraid that our Ximen family alone may not be able to take it down. So I came here to disturb the Seventh Ancestor and ask the Seventh Ancestor to come out and help!"
"Did the news leak?" The old man frowned slightly.
"right!"
Ximensong nodded and said: "Half a month ago, a small group of demons broke through the border of Daxia and sneaked into Daxia to cause chaos. Although they were later suppressed by the six kingdoms, the king of Daxia, Qin Jie, fell into the two countries of Cangming and Augu. In the hands of the strong!"
"This matter has spread throughout the six countries of Cangzhou, and even several dynasties near Cangzhou have received the news. Therefore, Shiwandashan has also been noticed, and our whereabouts have been exposed, so..."
Hearing this, the old man nodded gloomily.
The Ximen family's old profession is to excavate ruins and find treasures, and everyone knows this.
Not only the Daxia Dynasty, but also many dynasties surrounding Daxia have heard about it——
Whenever people from the Ximen Family move around, treasures or relics will almost always be discovered!
This has almost become a routine!
In the past, if relics were discovered, most forces would be wary of the Ximen Family's mysterious strength and would not dare to compete with them.
There are only a few powerful forces that can compete with it, but they are also willing to sell it to the Ximen Family, either by paying some price to jointly explore it, or by directly giving it to the Ximen Family.
The Ximen Family is also not unkind in their actions. Even if the ruins they discover first are exposed, they will not be left alone. They will basically share some benefits in exchange for the goodwill of other forces.
But what was discovered this time was the ruins of an immortal!
Outsiders all know that the Ximen family relied on relics to make their fortune, but they don’t know what relics they relied on and what good prescriptions they got to rise.
Only a few people know.
The reason why the Ximen Family rose to prominence was that it stood out among many aristocratic families and became one of the four major aristocratic families in Daxia.
It's because many years ago, the first ruins excavated by the Ximen family were the ruins of an immortal!
Back then, the Ximen Family was just a small, third-rate family, and they accidentally discovered the remains of an immortal.
With the strength of the Ximen Family at the time, it was naturally impossible to defend the excavation. After some thought, the Ximen Family chose to report the news to the then King of Xia.
Who would have thought that the contemporary King of Xia Nian, who took the initiative to report the merits to the Ximen Family, did not choose to keep it all for himself. After obtaining the treasure, he gave one-third of it to the Ximen Family!
And because of this one-third of the treasure of immortal relics, the Ximen Family has skyrocketed since then!
In just a few hundred years, it became a huge force comparable to the three great families of Great Xia at that time!
In the following thousand years, many strong men were born without knowing it, and their strength gradually increased, ranking first among the four major families!
All of this is due to that immortal relic!
And it’s only one-third of the immortal ruins!
Although in the following years, the Ximen Family has always focused on excavating relics and searching for treasures, and they have also found many high-level relics and treasures.
But the ruins of immortals have never been encountered before!
In fact, in the entire history of China, the number of times that immortal relics are discovered is extremely rare!
Every time it appears, many powerful forces will participate in the fight. After a cruel competition, only the force that survives to the end can get a share of the pie!
The preciousness of the immortal relics is evident!
But now, after thousands of years, an immortal relic has been discovered again, and the news has been exposed!
The old man's face was as gloomy as water!
He knew very well that the reason why the Great Xia Dynasty was able to excavate the immortal ruins alone and obtain all the treasures in it.
The Ximen Family also benefited from this, sharing one-third of it, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds.
It was because the news at that time was not leaked and Daxia sent people to secretly excavate it.
But now, the ruins of this immortal in Shiwanda Mountain have been exposed.
I am afraid that not only the Daxia Dynasty, but also the other five dynasties in Cangzhou, and even the dynasties outside Cangzhou who have received the news will send people here!
By then, it will be great if the Ximen Family can get one-tenth of it!
You may even gain nothing and be kicked out directly!
After all, no matter how powerful the family is, it will never be able to compete with a country!
No matter how mysterious and powerful the Ximen Family is from the outside world, only they themselves know the real situation!
He was silent for a moment with an ugly face.
The old man suddenly looked at Ximen Song and said, "Does anyone else know that the key to the ruins is in our hands?"
"Not yet!"
Simonson shook his head and said with some hesitation: "But according to preliminary judgment, the key in our hands is not used to open the ruins!"
"This immortal ruins seems to be much larger than the one found in Daxia, and it does not require a key to open!"
"This immortal relic is sealed at the bottom of Shiwanda Mountain. Now the seal is weakening. I am afraid that in less than a month at most, the seal will completely disappear, and then the relic will reappear!"
"And the key in our hands, I suspect, may be used to open a treasure inside the ruins!"
Hearing this, the old man's face became even more ugly.
"What forces are sending people there now?" the old man looked at Ximen Song and asked.
Ximen Song said: "Second brother sent back the news yesterday. So far, at least five forces have sent people to investigate. Among them are people from the Cangming Dynasty and the Aogu Dynasty, and a few others. I suspect they are from outside Cangzhou. dynasty!"
"Even the Great Xia Imperial Court seems to have noticed it recently. They sent a strong man at the peak of the God Transformation Realm to station in Xiguan, and he has close contact with the Demon Suppression City!"
The old man nodded slightly, his face calm.
Immediately, he looked at Ximen Song and said: "The news that the key is in our hands must not be leaked. Let people wait over there first. Don't act rashly for the time being, and wait and see what happens!"
"Now the situation is no longer under our control. We will see later how many forces are involved, and then we will choose a partner to cooperate with. By then, this key will be our biggest bargaining chip!"
"Yes! Seventh Ancestor!"
Ximenson nodded, then followed with some hesitation on his face and said: "There is one more thing..."
"Now that King Xia has fallen, Prince Qin Wuhen has ascended the throne and become the new King of Xia. However, this young King of Xia is not only iron-blooded in his methods, but his scheming is no weaker than that of the previous King of Xia, Qin Jie, and he is extremely mysterious around him!"
"oh?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it!"
However!
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly stood up from the coffin and looked sharply in a certain direction!
"Someone broke in!"
