Chapter 3871: Suppressing the Tomb (Revised)

tate.The body, like a transformed leaf, and those gray lines are like the gentle breeze.Whenever a gentle breeze approaches, the leaves are lightly lifted and dance about, but they never actually touc...In the center of the Four Towns City lies a colossal structure a thousand zhang tall, resembling a giant sword piercing deep into the earth.

Of course, this is where the Treasure Appraisal Conference is held.

From afar, as they saw the building, Gao Song whispered to Jiang Yun, "Here it is. They say this was the first building constructed in the entire Sijinzhen City, and it was specifically built to suppress the tomb of the legendary emperor!"

Actually, Ginger Cloud had visited this building on the very first day she arrived in Sijiaocheng and knew it was the venue for the Treasure Appraisal Conference.

But at that time, even though Gao Song was with me again, he didn't explain anything to me.

Ginger Cloud also understood very well that, obviously, after she promised Gao Song that she would help him at the Appraisal Conference, Gao Song's attitude towards her had become much warmer. That was why he was taking the initiative to explain himself now.

And his words also stirred Jiang Yun's heart, reminding him of what Gao Song had told him about the legend of this Four Towns City.

The former name of Sijinzhen was Zhendi City!

The name comes from the fact that there is a mausoleum of an emperor beneath the city. It drove even a near-emperor-level powerhouse to madness, attracting more powerful beings to descend upon it. This led to the construction of the four towns here.

Ginger Cloud didn't know whether the legend was true or false, but he never imagined that there would be such a building specifically built to suppress the Emperor's Mausoleum.

However, looking at the appearance of this building, it really does resemble a sword that has been thrust directly into the Emperor's Tomb, suppressing the Emperor.

Jiang Yun asked with interest, "If we follow this building downwards now, would that lead directly to the emperor's tomb"

"I don't know about that," Gao Song said with a wry smile and shook his head. "Even if it is, I wouldn't dare to go see the Imperial Mausoleum."

Ginger Yun smiled slightly. This was just a casual joke he made, and he let it go after saying it.

At this moment, the eight grand gates of this building are already open. On either side of each gate, a cultivator stands guard.

And a large number of cultivators lined up in long queues, orderly filing in.

Of course, these cultivators were all going to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Conference, which also made Jiang Yun somewhat unexpectedly say: "It seems that there are quite a few wealthy cultivators!"

"That's not true," Gu Linxu said from the side. "Although according to the rules of the conference, everyone must bring at least one million emperor source stones, as long as you bring enough emperor source stones, you can take in whoever you want."

"Even, there are some exceptions, like you, a single person bringing ten others in, and the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't even bat an eye."

As expected, Jiang Yun saw those cultivators entering the building. Some raised their storage artifacts and scanned the two guarding cultivators with their divine sense, while others did not move at all but were still allowed in.

Gingercloud didn't ask any further. Along with the others, he walked to the nearest gate.

And as Jiang Yun arrived, the cultivators who were queuing up actually all gave way to the side and politely addressed Jiang Yun: "Master Xuanyuan, please go first!"

This is a stone appraiser.

When the appraisal meeting was held, no one dared to offend a gemologist.

Especially someone like Jiangyun, who defeated Su Qianchen in the gemology contest, is an object of desire for almost everyone.

Jiang Yun didn't stand on ceremony, smiling and cupping his hands in a bow to everyone. "Thank you all, then we shall go in first!"

Four people arrived at the gate. Jiang Yun intentionally didn't take out his storage artifact and looked at the two gatekeepers, but the two simply ignored him, their gazes fixed on the cultivators behind him.

"No need to try any further!" Gu Linxu chuckled. "If they don't even recognize you, then the City Lord's Mansion's reputation would be completely ruined."

"Yes!" Gao Song whispered. "No matter what your identity is outside, as long as you enter the Sijinzhen City, almost everything you do within the city will be known to the City Lord's Mansion."

Ginger Cloud smiled faintly, "That's not necessarily true. At least in Bamboo Path Garden and with the Young Masters there, it would be possible to keep it from the City Lord's Mansion."

Ginger flowed smoothly and effortlessly into the building.

However, the instant Jiang Yun found himself within the structure, his face changed drastically, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

Because, an incredibly powerful aura suddenly descended upon him, but vanished instantly, as if it were just an illusion.

"This is..." Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with light and he said, "The power of the formation!"

"You sensed it too!" Gu Linxu lowered his voice. "That's right, this building is set up with a powerful array, but ordinary people can't sense it. Only those with extremely sensitive perceptions can detect it."

Ginger Cloud silently nodded his head. This formation was more than just powerful; it was absolutely the most terrifying formation he had ever felt in his entire life.

This also made him involuntarily think of what Gao Song had just told him, that this building was said to be used to suppress the Imperial Tombs!

"However, I might be overthinking things. After all, this is the location of the Treasure Appraisal Conference, and the Blood Sealing Stones gathered here, along with what they might potentially yield, are worth more than hundreds of millions."

"If there is no formation to protect us, if anyone comes here to cause trouble, it will lead to a huge disaster."

Although Ginger Cloud gave himself this explanation, he was still uneasy in his heart!

At this time, Gu Linxu's voice sounded again: "Younger brother, let's walk a little bit inside, there are no seats here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun only then came to his senses and turned his gaze to the surroundings.

Here, it is completely empty, with nothing else present. The feeling it gives is not at all like a constructed building, but rather like a natural cave.

Now, there are quite a few cultivators gathered here. At a glance, there are at least several thousand people.

And with more cultivators still queuing to enter, Jiang Yun estimated that the final number of participating cultivators would be close to ten thousand.

These people, some are standing on the ground, others are floating in the air.

After the ceremony officially begins, people from the City Lord's Mansion will appear in the center and place all the Blood Sealing Stones there. One by one, they will be taken out for everyone to bid on.

If someone bids on the blood-sealed stone, it will be cut open on site. If no one bids, the blood-sealed stone will be auctioned off!

Gu Linxu's explanation was the same as what Gao Song had told Jiang Yun before.

Jiang Yun stopped thinking about the building and, with the four of them, walked toward the center of it.

Along the way, almost any cultivator who encountered Jiang Yun would be polite and proactively give way to him.

Of course, some cultivators also had no good face towards Jiang Yun.

And these people, Gao Song secretly told Jiang Yun, were mostly from Shitài Xuan and Jishi Xuan!

Just like that, the four of them arrived at the center. Since there weren't any seats anyway, they just stood in place, patiently waiting.

After a moment, on the opposite side of Jiang Yun, appeared a group of people. When Jiang Yun saw Su Qianchen being surrounded in the middle, a smile appeared on his face.

Su Qianchen saw Jiang Yun and also smiled, even nodding to Jiang Yun.

If there hadn't been yesterday's gambling match, everyone probably would have thought they were old friends.

But now, everyone knows that these two people, despite being a hundred meters apart, are already at odds with each other.

Finally, after half an hour had passed and everyone entered the building, a loud "boom" echoed throughout. The eight massive doors, which had been open, suddenly slammed shut at the same time.

This caused Jiang Yun to involuntarily narrow his eyes, releasing his divine sense and focusing on the eight doors.

Although he understood this was probably to prevent someone from snatching and running away with treasures during the appraisal meeting, as a master of formations, he also knew that closing the gate meant activating the formation.

However, besides Jiang Yun, everyone else obviously didn't care about these things. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and eagerness.

Even Gu Linxu said in a low voice, "It's starting!"realm, not all members of the Kong family took refuge there. However, both Kong Xueshai and Kong Benchu chose to stay, as this was where they had previously agreed to meet with Jiang Yun.If one were t...
