Walking in the passage of the beating flames, Dongfang Xiuzhe seemed to be looking for something, observing the characteristics of the stone walls on both sides from time to time.

"It should be around here!"

Reaching out and spinning on a burning torch, the sound of a mechanism activating was soon heard.

There was not much time, and an open stone door suddenly appeared on the stone wall three meters away.

"Sure enough, I didn't find a mistake!"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Dongfang Xiuzhe stepped into this very hidden stone gate.

He had only been able to know about this place based on the apothecary's memory, and he knew what was inside.

It's because I know that I smile so happily.

After walking in, I found that there was a hole in it, and the space was surprisingly large.

There were large and small boxes piled up on the ground, and you didn't need to open Dongfang Xiuzhe to know that they were all kinds of rare treasures collected by Qingtian Hou.

"It's all gathered here, but it saves me a lot of trouble!"

With a wave of his arm, these large and small boxes, as if held up by an invisible force, flew straight in the direction of Dongfang Xiuzhe, and finally all of them were included in the ring.

These treasures were just a small fortune for Dongfang Xiuzhe, and what he really cared about was still to come.

"It's so cleverly designed, if it weren't for reading his memory, even I wouldn't have thought that there is a secret passage in this treasure room!"

Go to a corner and turn the trap on again.

"Gollum!"

With a loud sound, the middle of the room suddenly sagged, and finally a stone staircase leading further down appeared.

Walking down the stone steps, there is a completely enclosed stone chamber with a small area.

In the center of the stone room, there is a metal shelf on which a special key made of gold is placed.

On the stone wall opposite this key, there is a cloak. A man with chains all over his body.

"I've said everything I need to say, no matter how much you do to me, it's useless for you, so let's kill me quickly!"

The man didn't look up, obviously taking Dongfang Xiuzhe for the pharmacist.

"I can't imagine that the real Qingtianhou will end up like this, it's really amazing!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe looked at the man opposite, and for a while, it was difficult to accept that this one turned out to be a high-powered Qingtianhou.

If it weren't for the "Soul Searching Method", it is estimated that even if he turned over the entire mansion, it would be impossible for him to find this person.

The man looked up slowly. Through the faint light, through the gap in the unkempt hair, I finally saw the young man standing in front of me.

"Who are you?" The man was a little puzzled at first, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly said angrily, "Sue that bastard, no matter what means he uses, don't think about letting me confide in him again, he will never want to open the dragon's lair in his life!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe still stood there calmly. When the man on the other side fell silent, he smiled and said, "That bastard you said has been subdued by me!"

"Humph!"

The man lowered his head again, ready to ignore Dongfang Xiuzhe.

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't talk to him anymore. Instead, he took the key on the shelf and looked at it in his hand.

"Such a complicated formation, it really deserves to be the 'Key to the Dragon's Lair', it really surprised me, if I hadn't come here in person. I didn't even know there was more than one Key to the Dragon's Lair!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe used the "Formation Dissolution Technique" to analyze this key.

"You...... How do you know ......"

The man, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head in horror.

He had never told the pharmacist that there was more than one "Dragon's Lair Key". Because of this, the pharmacist never knew how to use the key.

"It seems that if you want to open the dragon's lair, you must collect all the keys, but I don't know how many such keys there are, it's really troublesome!"

Sighing and putting away the "Key to the Dragon's Lair" in his hand, Dongfang Xiuzhe looked up at this Qingtianhou who was tortured to the point of being neither a human nor a ghost.

Today's "Zhisheng Empire" of His Majesty, but with the "Key of the Dragon's Den" as a reward, originally Dongfang Xiuzhe thought that as long as he got the "Key of the Dragon's Den", he could enter the Dragon's Den, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

This made his enthusiasm half as a whole.

"You...... What are you going to do?"

Optimus shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the young man's hand above his head.

It's just that his struggle is in vain, but after a moment's effort, the whole person is in a state of groginess.

After using the "Soul Searching Method", Dongfang Xiuzhe's originally disappointed expression suddenly became joyful again.

"There are three 'Dragon's Lair Keys' in total, and the other two are in the palace!"

This discovery once again ignited hope for Dongfang Xiuzhe.

As long as he completes the things entrusted by the emperor, after entering the palace, with his ability, he can naturally find out the whereabouts of the two "dragon's lair spoons".

When the time comes, the three keys will be together and you will be able to open the dragon's lair!

At the thought of the possibility of seeing a real dragon, Dongfang Xiuzhe's blood couldn't help but speed up......

Outside the Qingtianhou Mansion, several sneaky figures were watching the movements outside the mansion intently.

"Why did the riot stop, wasn't that the boy defeated?" one of them muttered quietly.

"There was a lot of movement in the house just now, and I could see that the young man had done his best. ”

"Hey, this time His Majesty is looking forward to it again, it seems that the current Qingtianhou forces are really covering the sky with one hand!"

“......”

The few people who spoke were ordered by His Majesty to come to inquire about the situation here.

At the beginning, there was a big chaos in the mansion, shouting and killing, and fires, and several people thought that the young man was going to succeed, but no one thought that the riot did not last long, and there was no sound.

Moreover, the mansion once again returned to its due calm, and there was no change except for the increase in the number of guards outside the door.

"Let's go, let's go back and report this unfortunate news to Your Majesty. ”

"I've heard that the boy is so good, and now it seems that he really can't listen to rumors. ”

"Let's wait, maybe there's a turnaround!"

"What can be a turnaround. It's all already sunk in the sea, what more big waves can be turned?"

"We've been ordered to watch here, so let's wait!"

A few people waited for several hours, from late at night until the sky began to lighten, but there was still no turnaround.

"It seems that it is really a failure, let's go back, report to Your Majesty and make plans early!"

Several people sighed secretly, and then quietly left from the hidden place.

Shortly after they left, a strange thing happened.

The closed door of the mansion suddenly opened. A teenager swaggered out of it.

This young man is naturally Dongfang Xiuzhe, and he is proud of the spring breeze on his face.

The real gain was that he gained the knowledge of the apothecary, copied a good fighting skill, and discovered the secret of the "Dragon's Lair".

It stands to reason that Dongfang Xiuzhe could have come out of it a long time ago, and the reason why it took so long. It was because he had taken in all the masters of the pharmacist distributed in the mansion.

In other words, the masters in the mansion have now become his subordinates. With just one order, you can take full possession of the entire mansion, which is simply easy!

Just now, Dongfang Xiuzhe had already used the method of "soul transmission" to get in touch with Yunzhi. Wait a minute, Yunzhi will bring someone to take over here.

The so-called heat pipes do not occupy the entire mansion, but remove the valuable items in the mansion. And those masters who were subdued by the Oriental cultivators were co-opted.

By this time the sky had turned white, the light of the stars had begun to converge, and it would not be long before the sun would rise in the east.

"I didn't expect that it was already this time!"

Looking at the sky, Dongfang Xiuzhe was not tired at all.

In order to unlock the secret of the "Dragon's Lair" as soon as possible, he did not plan to rest, but acted in the direction of the palace......

In the palace, His Majesty has almost never slept all night, waiting for news.

At this time, someone from outside came to report, and the people who went to inquire about the news had returned and asked to face the saint.

"Xuan!"

His Majesty put down the unfinished recital in his hand and stared at the door with a somewhat solemn expression.

To be honest, he was a little nervous to know the answer, but he had to know!

"See Your Majesty!"

A few dusty people walked in outside, and they were the ones who had been watching outside the Qingtian Marquis Mansion all night.

"How's the situation, is there any news?" asked His Majesty a little impatiently.

Several people glanced at each other, their faces were embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say so that His Majesty could suffer the least blow?

"I don't have much patience, I have something to say!" His Majesty grimaced, but he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, as he expected, these people brought the news of "failure"!

"Still can't!"

Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing the exact report, His Majesty was still hit hard.

I didn't expect that the emperor of his dignified "Zhisheng Empire" would be forced into a helpless situation!

"Your Majesty, it's imperative to make plans early, the power of the Heavenly Marquis is getting bigger and bigger, if you don't guard against it, I'm afraid it's ......"

"I already knew this, but how to ......"

Before His Majesty's words were finished, the Xuanjian outside suddenly shouted loudly again: "Dongfang Xiuzhe asks to see!"

"Dongfang Xiuzhe?" His Majesty was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and the whole person stood up from the dragon chair and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up!"

Who is Dongfang Xiuzhe, how could he not know, isn't it the young man who went to deal with Qingtianhou!

Why, didn't the teenager get arrested, could things have taken a turn for the better?

When His Majesty was in doubt, a handsome young man swaggered in from outside.

The young man's attitude was a little rude, and instead of looking directly at His Majesty today, he looked left and right at the environment here. (To be continued......)
