Chapter 221: Bluff, the Ultimate Bluff
Behind the stone gate is a large sunken platform. On the platform is a five-clawed golden dragon carved out of stone. The dragon's head is facing a stone chair, on which sits a skeleton holding a sword in both hands.

Behind the white bones, there was something like a spine, leaning diagonally against the backrest of the stone chair.

"Dragon Vein, Xuanyuan Sword!"

After seeing these two things, Zhang Chu headed forward, wanting to take the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword for himself.

However, when he was about to cross the stone gate, an extremely powerful force acted on his body.

"Boom~"

He was unexpectedly knocked against the stone wall behind him by the inexplicable force, and pieces of rubble fell to the ground.

His body was like that of a bronze-armored corpse. How could such a collision possibly hurt him?

Although his body was not seriously injured, his magic power was almost shattered by the terrifying force.

That force must be the reason why Zhang Chu's magic power was suppressed.

He stood up again and walked to the stone gate with extremely heavy steps. Looking at the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword below, his heart was filled with unwillingness.

He really didn't expect that he couldn't get the treasure right in front of him.

Looking at the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword below, Zhang Chu retreated silently. Just because he couldn't get it now didn't mean he couldn't get it in the future.

He already had some guesses in his mind. He couldn't get the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword because he was a cultivator and in a half-human, half-corpse state.

According to legend, the dragon veins of the Fengyun world are the things that suppress the luck of the human race in Jiuzhou, so naturally they carry the luck of humanity.

Under the destiny of humanity, all monsters and demons will be completely suppressed. The ascetics cannot use their magic power, and it is normal for the monsters to be suppressed by this thing.

He remembered it very clearly. When he first obtained the dragon vein, Xiongba, who was in a demonic state of mind, held it in his hand and it was as if it was burned by fire, and he immediately let go.

Xiongba was merely possessed by a demon, and was not like Zhang Chu who was now half human and half corpse. He was not even a cultivator, so he could not hold the dragon vein, let alone Zhang Chu now?

He glanced at the Fire Kirin curled up beside him, turned over and sat on it, "Let's go!"

If you can't take it, you can't take it. When Jiuzhou is in turmoil and the human luck condensed on the dragon vein is sharply reduced and becomes a pure treasure of luck, it will be the time for Zhang Chu to come here and take back the dragon vein and the Xuanyuan Sword.

Zhang Chu sat on the back of the Fire Kirin, frowning, thinking secretly in his heart: If I leave like this, what if someone comes in and takes away the dragon vein, won’t I be at a great loss?

However, it is impossible for Zhang Chu to stay here and guard the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the dragon veins and the Xuanyuan Sword in this world.

He has so much to accomplish.

"Brother Nie, how are you?"

"much better!"

Just when Zhang Chu was riding the Fire Kirin through a passage, he suddenly heard a conversation between two people, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He found the person guarding the dragon vein.

"Walk,"

Zhang Chu patted Huo Qilin's head and said, "Go find them!"

The Fire Kirin was quite intelligent and it rushed straight towards the location where the two people were talking.

Soon, they were almost approaching the location where the two people were having the conversation.

The two people who were talking also felt the change in heat in the passage, and their expressions immediately became cold.

One of them said to the other, "Brother Duan, I'm afraid both of you and I will die here!"

"Brother Nie,"

Another person spoke up, "Even if we die here, we must take the Qilin Demon away. This will be considered as getting rid of harm to the people!"

"Haha~"

The two of them smiled at each other, and the gloom on their faces was immediately dispelled, and they immediately felt full of heroic spirit.

"coming!"

The two men stood up, feeling the heat approaching quickly, they looked at each other and were ready.

When the Qilin Demon appears, what awaits it is a thundering blow.

"Qilin Demon, prepare to die!"

The moment they saw the fire, the two immediately decided to launch a sneak attack.

As for the Qilin Demon that is endangering the common people, the two of them don't want to talk about chivalry.

Among the two, one was injured and the other was intact. Even so, their strength was quite terrifying.

"wrong!"

However, the appearance of the Qilin Demon surprised them both greatly - there was actually a person sitting on the back of the Qilin Demon, a bald Taoist priest!

However, it was too late for the two to stop now.

"Boom~"

A force like an overwhelming force directly enveloped Zhang Chu and the Fire Kirin who were sitting on the back of the Fire Kirin.

"Boom~"

Feeling the incoming force, Zhang Chu frowned and pushed out with his palm.

The enormous force exerted by the two men was directly annihilated into nothingness, and was heavily slammed onto the rock wall behind them by Zhang Chu's remaining palm power.

"What do you two mean by this?"

Looking at the two people being hit on the rock wall, Zhang Chu frowned, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "When did I offend you two? Why did you want to kill me as soon as we met?"

"If I hadn't had some skills, I would have been dead by now!"

The two people who were pressed against the rock wall, feeling the terrifying murderous intent and enormous pressure, looked at each other.

They also didn't expect that there was a Taoist priest on the back of the Qilin Demon.

Moreover, this Taoist was so terrifying that with the strength of the two of them, they had no ability to fight back at all.

Fortunately, the Taoist in front of them held back, otherwise, both of them would have been beaten into meat paste.

"I am King Nie Ren,"

After calming down for a while, Nie Renwang introduced himself and pointed to another person next to him, "He is Nanlin Sword Master Duan Shuai!"

"We two thought that the Qilin Demon was going to harm the people again, so we thought that we had to stop it even if it meant death."

"I didn't expect that, Taoist Priest..."

"A disaster to the common people?"

Before Nie Renwang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Chu, whose eyes were filled with deep doubts and his tone was full of questions, "What do you mean by harming the people? How could the Fire Kirin harm the people?"

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai looked at the Taoist priest's inexplicable questions in front of them, and after hearing their two names, there seemed to be no fluctuation on their faces.

They were also a little surprised, "Master, don't you know?"

"The Qilin Demon has been out harming the people quite a lot!"

"Many civilians were burned to death by the magic fire of the Qilin Demon!"

"impossible!"

Zhang Chu simply waved his hand and said, "It is absolutely impossible for my mount to harm the people!"

Mount?

The two of them were still very good at grasping the key points. They both looked at the mysterious Taoist in front of them in disbelief.

The Qilin Demon is actually his mount?
Before the “Qilin Demon” Nie Renwang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Duan Shuai standing beside him, “Master, is the Fire Qilin your mount?”

Zhang Chu looked at the two of them as if they were fools. He appeared riding a Fire Qilin. If the Fire Qilin wasn't his mount, then whose mount was it?

"Master,"

Seeing that Zhang Chu gave a very positive answer even though he didn't say anything, Duan Shuai said cautiously, "You may not know..."

Then, Duan Shuai recounted the stories about the evil deeds of the Fire Kirin that were widely circulated among the people. The key point was that the Fire Kirin had killed many civilians.

"That's what they deserve!"

Zhang Chu's eyes showed a trace of indifference, "If there hadn't been constant wars, how could my mount have been invaded by the devil?"

When they heard the word "you deserve it", Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang were immediately furious, but after hearing the second half of Zhang Chu's words, they were stunned again.

"Demon invasion?"

"War?"

They understood both of the new words uttered by the mysterious Taoist in front of them, but they had no idea what they meant when they were put together.

"Master, what is the connection between the invasion of demonic thoughts and the war?"

"I have a question for you!"

Zhang Chu glanced at the two and asked, "What do dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and black turtles mean to you?"

"A divine beast!"

The two of them answered subconsciously.

"That's right,"

Zhang Chu looked like a teachable child, "In your impression, the Qilin is a mythical animal, and also a auspicious animal!"

"Then how could it hurt people for no reason?"

"If you hadn't attacked first, how could it have fought back?"

The two were almost confused by Zhang Chu. How did the Qilin Demon suddenly become a lucky beast? How did the Qilin Demon suddenly become a counterattack when it hurt people?
Therefore, after Duan Shuai and Nie Renwang calmed down, they interrupted Zhang Chu and said, "Master, whether it is a lucky beast or not, it did hurt people and burned many ordinary people to death!"

"That is beyond doubt!"

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Zhang Chu's face turned cold, "You guys deserve this!"

"It's your own fault?"

The two of them almost exploded with rage. How come killing people is justified now?

"Do you know where Lingyun Cave is?"

Without waiting for them to ask back, Zhang Chu directly asked a question.

"Lingyun Cave is Lingyun Cave!"

The two looked at the mysterious Taoist in front of them in confusion, "At most, there will be one more, and it is also the hiding place of the Qilin Demon!"

"Ignorance, ignorance!"

Zhang Chu cursed them both directly in the face.

The two were stunned by the scolding. How could they be so stupid and ignorant?
Before they could speak, Zhang Chu continued, "Lingyun Cave is the tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi!"

"The dragon vein of Kyushu is also placed here!"

"The Fire Kylin is the guardian of the dragon vein!"

"Any outsider who dares to enter Lingyun Cave will be killed by Fire Kirin!"

"Dragon vein? The tomb of Emperor Xuanyuan?"

The two men stared at the Taoist in front of them in astonishment, their minds simply did not wrap around it.

When did Lingyun Grottoes become the mausoleum of Emperor Huangdi and the storage place of dragon veins?

And in people's eyes, the Qilin Demon has also become the guardian of the tomb and the watcher of the dragon veins?
The two of them were really completely confused.

"Ah~"

Zhang Chu sighed, "You all come with me!"

After saying that, without waiting for their agreement, Zhang Chu turned over and rode on the back of Fire Kirin, "Let's go!"

Looking at the mysterious Taoist riding the Qilin Demon away, the two hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.

No matter what, since they have met, they have to get to the bottom of it. Their curiosity has been aroused.

After looking at each other, the two immediately followed.

The Fire Kirin's movement speed was not very fast, so Zhang Chu didn't have to worry at all that the two would lose it.

Soon, Zhang Chu returned to the vicinity of the Mausoleum of Emperor Huangdi.

"Go and see for yourself!"

After Zhang Chu waited for the two of them to arrive, he turned around and said something to them, but he had no intention of leading the way at all.

The two looked at each other, and walked forward without hesitation.

For them, hesitation is of no use.

Besides, if the mysterious Taoist priest in front of them wanted to kill them, he wouldn’t have to put in so much effort. He could just kill them both with one hand.

At this moment, they recalled how they had just used all their strength and were slapped against the rock wall by Zhang Chu, and they broke out in cold sweats.

If Zhang Chu had intended to kill them, they would have been dead by now, with no trace left of their bodies.

After walking a few steps, the two saw a stone door and turned to look at Zhang Chu.

However, the mysterious Taoist still had a blank expression on his face, and had no intention of speaking any words at all.

The two helpless people could only continue walking forward.

When they arrived in front of the stone gate, they saw the scene inside the stone gate.

A dragon-shaped stone sculpture lies quietly on a sunken platform inside the stone gate, with the dragon's head facing a stone chair, and on the stone chair is a skeleton leaning on a bronze sword.

And that white skeleton was obviously somewhat special, very different from that of an ordinary person. There was an extra spine-like thing behind it, pressing against the back of the stone chair.

In an instant, a rumor came to their minds, "When Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was in his twilight years, a spine like a tail grew out of his body."

"It is the dragon vein of Kyushu, used to suppress the destiny of the human race in Kyushu and ensure the long-term prosperity of the human race!"

Suddenly, the minds of the two people who thought of these rumors went blank, and only one thought kept echoing in their minds: How lucky are they?
I actually came to the tomb of our ancestor Emperor Huangdi?

And did you see with your own eyes the body of our ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, his personal sword - the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Jiuzhou Dragon Veins?

After they finally reacted and calmed themselves down, their eyes were filled with admiration.

The white bones and the bronze swords in their hands also became sacred in their eyes.

The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

After fixing their makeup, they immediately knelt on the ground, their tone full of respect, "Jiuzhou juniors pay homage to Xuanyuan Supreme!"

After respectfully bowing three times and kowtowed nine times, he stood up, turned his head and looked at the expressionless mysterious Taoist priest.
