The royal mausoleum was a place where the Tuoba Kingdom's royal family was enshrined!
To the Tuoba Kingdom, it was sacred and inviolable.
Especially when the body of the first king was actually in there. It was enshrined by tens of thousands of people. It was a place that could not be lost!
Regardless of the intentions of the person who shot the arrow and whether this was true or not, Tuoba Chi had to confirm it!
Although the princess's poison was important, it was not like there was no way around it. Even if he was anxious, it was useless.
If something really happened to the royal mausoleum, not only would the Tuoba Kingdom's reputation be ruined, but he would also be too ashamed to face his ancestors in the future.
Furthermore, Tuoba Chi was not afraid that this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, this was the royal palace, and there were many experts. There were also experts from the Hall of Enshrining, so there was no need to worry.
A group of experts from the royal palace hurried towards the royal mausoleum. There was a large group of imperial guards following behind them. Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, such as Crown Prince Ying Yuan.
The Starfall Dynasty's diplomatic group staying in the post house also noticed the commotion outside. Ying Yuan immediately called someone over and asked, "What happened outside?"
"Your Highness, we are not very sure. We only saw the Tuoba King leading a large group of experts out in a hurry. From the looks of it, they are heading towards the north of the city."
"What are they going to do with such a large group of people?
North of the city, what's in the north of the city? "Ying Yuan was also very confused. He shouted," Let's go and take a look. "
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him. However, he thought about it again. Not long ago, he had sent Yuan Zhi and the others to attack the princess. Now that they had not returned, he did not know what the result was.
Now that the people from the Tuoba Kingdom were moving out with so many experts, there might be some connection between the two. This made him feel uneasy. He had to go and take a look!
Inside the royal mausoleum, Yuan Zhi and the others actually managed to sneak in without being detected by the experts guarding the royal mausoleum. They found an incomparably gorgeous coffin in the centermost position.
Their faces were all filled with greed. This was because they could all feel an extremely strong corpse aura from this coffin!
The corpse inside was not only well-preserved, it must have been a supreme expert in the world when it was alive!
Moreover, this corpse was placed in the King City and was worshipped by tens of thousands of people in the Tuoba Country. Who knew how it had evolved? It was normal for it to have a spirit body.
If they could obtain this corpse and refine it into a refined corpse, then they could do whatever they wanted. They wouldn't even care about the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm!
However, Yuan Zhi and the others did not act rashly, because this coffin must be protected by a formation. It was not easy for them to sneak in here. If they made any noise, even if it was just a little bit, they would immediately be discovered!
Yuan Zhi transmitted his voice to the others: "Let's set up an isolation formation first, then think of a way to open the coffin."
The other four nodded silently. They knew that they couldn't act too hastily. Otherwise, not only would they fail at the last step, they might not even be able to keep their lives.
In fact, other than the five of them, there was another person who had snuck into the royal tomb, and that was Leng Shiqi!
At this moment, Leng Shiqi concealed himself and stood in a corner of the royal tomb. The Gu King was lying on his shoulder, and it was breathing in and out a layer of faint fog, completely isolating their aura.
Leng Shiqi looked at Yuan Zhi and the others sneakily setting up the formation. He originally wanted to wait for King Tuoba and the other experts to arrive before making a noise to expose Yuan Zhi and the others. However, he suddenly changed his mind.
He thought to himself: "Looking at Yuan Zhi and the others, it seems that they do have a way to open the coffin. Perhaps there are some treasures inside."
He also had his eyes on the treasures in the coffin!
Not long after, Yuan Zhi used some unknown method to quietly open the coffin. Lying inside was a corpse in a yellow robe.
This corpse had been dead for many years, but its appearance was still very well preserved, as if it had just died not long ago!
The only strange thing was that half of the corpse was filled with a terrifying ghost aura, while the other half had a layer of faint golden light. The aura was very mysterious, and no one knew what it was.
Yuan Zhi and the others didn't dare to speak, but Leng Shiqi could see the shock and surprise in their eyes. Therefore, this corpse must have something extraordinary about it.
At this moment, King Tuoba and the experts from the palace were about to arrive. Leng Shiqi suppressed the doubts in his heart and prepared to take action at any time to attract everyone's attention.
When King Tuoba and the others arrived at the royal tomb, they found that it was as calm as usual, and there seemed to be no problem at all.
When everyone arrived, a spirit cultivator of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm walked out of the royal tomb. This person was the guardian of the royal tomb. He bowed and said: "Tuoba Qin greets Your Majesty."
"Dispense with the formalities. Let me ask you, is there anything unusual in the royal tomb?" King Tuoba asked directly.
Tuoba Qin shook his head and said: "There is nothing unusual."
Hearing this, King Tuoba's expression froze. Was this really a diversion?
"Roar!"
Just as he was puzzled, a roar that was neither human nor beast could be heard, and the direction of this roar was actually the royal tomb!
Immediately after, everyone felt waves of spirit energy and traces of corpse aura!
"Indeed, someone sneaked into the royal tomb. This is outrageous!" King Tuoba shouted angrily: "What are you all standing there for?
No matter who is inside, they must be cut into pieces! "
The experts from the palace all rushed out like arrows. Only Tuoba Hui and Tuoba Qin did not move.
Tuoba Hui had to protect King Tuoba. If even he left, what would happen if someone tried to assassinate the king?
Tuoba Qin frowned. He had been guarding the royal tomb for a long time. Although he couldn't sense the entire royal tomb at all times, ordinary people couldn't easily hide from him and enter the royal tomb!
Now, it seemed that someone had indeed entered the royal tomb. This was his dereliction of duty.
What was even more troublesome was that King Tuoba actually knew about it earlier than him!
This time, no matter who broke into the royal tomb, no matter what they did inside, after this matter was over, they would definitely be severely punished by the king!
Therefore, he had to work hard now. It would be best if he could capture the intruder alive. He might even be able to atone for his crimes.
Tuoba Qin lowered his head and said: "Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely capture the thief!"
After saying that, he turned into a phantom and rushed into the royal tomb!
After a few breaths, the royal tomb suddenly exploded with intense light and explosions. King Tuoba could only stand there anxiously. On one hand, he hoped to capture the thief. On the other hand, he hoped that they would restrain themselves when they made a move so that they wouldn't break the ancestral tablets!
Just as he was feeling anxious, Crown Prince Ying Yuan arrived with a few guards.
