"Your Excellency's previous guess was correct. The Hanhai Jade Buddha is the key to unlocking the Hanhai Kingdom's treasure."
"When Hanhai Kingdom was destroyed, the King of Hanhai sealed up most of the country's wealth in preparation for the restoration of the country by future generations."
"However, he did not expect that almost all the Hanhai royal family died in the war. Those who were lucky enough to escape also died in various disputes. This is why no descendants of Hanhai Kingdom have come to Mr. Hua to ask for the national treasure for so many years."
"I'm telling you all this because I want to make friends with you, sir." Zhao Shirong rushed to tell everything he knew, with the intention of making friends with Wu Ming.
"Making friends, of course, we can take a shower together when we have the chance."
With his doubts resolved, Wu Ming was in a good mood and responded sincerely to Zhao Shirong's desire to make friends.
"Take a bath... together...?"
Zhao Shirong was stunned. Mingyuexin, who was standing beside him a step later than Zhao Shirong, was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth, seemingly reserved, but in fact she laughed wildly.

Chapter 125: Watching a Show
"Ming Yuexin, if you laugh a little more, the Power Gang may be able to fight for the Udumbara flower that may appear in the Vast Sea Treasure."
Zhao Shirong's face looked a little ugly, partly because of Wu Ming's teasing, but more because of Ming Yuexin's ridicule.
"Udumbara?"
"Water from the Styx?"
Wu Ming frowned, then relaxed again. The water of the Styx was the most poisonous to the Tang Clan. It was said that only the Udumbara flower, which bloomed once every sixty years, could cure it.
Gongzi Yu had white hair and a haggard face, which was caused by being poisoned by the water from the River Styx.
With the memories of future lives, Wu Ming can always think of some things, some of which are even secrets that no one knows. However, while these memories are useful, they will also affect his judgment at certain times.
For example, Hua Manlou’s eyes were still injured by Song Wencao, but the plot related to Song Wencao is very different in this world.
The most discrepancy is the early demise of the Hanhai Kingdom.
We can only speak of the memories of later generations, and we can only choose to believe.
When Zhao Shirong mentioned the Udumbara flower and Wu Ming revealed the water of the Styx, Mingyuexin's laughter suddenly stopped, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her neck.
"My Lord, are you also interested in the Udumbara flower?" Mingyuexin adjusted her mood and spoke with a slightly cold tone. She didn't even bother to question Zhao Shirong.
She knew that the Quanli Gang was looking for treasure for money. Although Zhao Shirong threatened in anger, she could not really rob it. But if Wu Ming wanted it, then there would be a big problem.
"Let's take a shower together when we have time, and I will tell you the answer to this question." Wu Ming smiled, then turned around and left without paying any attention to them.
"Stealing things is a small problem. It's just a Hanhai Jade Buddha. The Hua family doesn't care. But there is one thing you all need to be alert to. Whether you rob or steal, you must not hurt anyone, especially the people of the Hua family. If you hurt one, you won't be able to leave."
"By then, I'm afraid I'll really have to take a bath."
Wu Ming's figure gradually walked away, and his voice came from afar. It was hard to tell whether he was joking or serious, but no one dared to ignore it.
"Miaoren, you are so powerful." Yan Nanfei laughed out loud, but his laughter was a little heavy.
"What do you two seniors think?" Ming Yuexin's expression changed, and then she set her sights on the two swordsmen from the east and the west.
Xi Yijian: “Not sure.”
Dong Yijian: "Even with two people together, there is no guarantee. The Tang Dynasty is really lucky."
As soon as the two finished talking, the atmosphere became dull again.
Taking a shower or something like that could be a joke, but this strength is no joke.
"Let's do it. The two families will join forces. No matter who gets it, we can cooperate later. After all, our two families want different things. Be careful when you act. The Hua family is not easy to offend, and it is even harder to offend the Hua family with Wu Ming."
Zhao Shirong set the tone, and Mingyuexin did not refute. Several people leaped forward without concealing their breath and rushed straight into the center of the melee.
Except for Wu Ming, there is no need to be too wary with their strength.
After leaving, Wu Ming did not return to the room, but found a position with a better view and looked down at the chaos below.
The Hua family's men had already received instructions. Simply put, they were to stay out of the action and just remember who had made the move. Afterwards, they would naturally have to pay compensation by bleeding.
Do you really think anyone can fight around in Taohua Fort?
Of course, the Hua family’s attitude is still tenable. After all, they are the richest family. The treasures of Hanhai Kingdom may not be as rich as those of the Hua family.
Moreover, no matter which family wins the "Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea" and opens the treasure, the Hua family must have a share.
Otherwise, Wudang and the Hua family would tell him why the flowers are so red.
As for the "Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea" that these people snatched away, Hua Ruling had asked a master craftsman to restore it in proportion a long time ago. Except for the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Emperor" that was obtained by Wu Ming and Wu Zhao, it can be said to be exactly the same.
It's enough to make the key.
I just don't know if the people behind Yan Tiexin were also seeking treasure.
Using Chu Xiangxiang's blood disease as bait, Yan Tiexin took great pains to steal the Hanhai Jade Buddha. Is this bait dead or alive, and can it really cure Chu Xiangxiang?
Wu Ming could always smell a conspiracy.
Chu Xiangxiang's disease is inherited from her blood and has not been cured for many years. Even if it can be cured, it will probably cost a lot. Even if Yan Tiexin gets her, Wu Ming believes that there is a high possibility that the other party will abandon her.
"Everyone in the world comes for profit, and everyone in the world is busy seeking profit. There are so many monsters and demons tonight." Lu Xiaofeng appeared behind Wu Ming at some point, and traveling with him was Sikong Zhaixing, the thief king.
"Monsters and ghosts? Do you know them all?"
"It's half and half. I know half of them, Si Kong knows half of them. If you know a few more, maybe you'll know them all."
"The guy floating around and obviously slacking off is Chu Liuxiang. Look at him touching his nose all the time. Maybe he has rhinitis again."
"Since you can change your eyes, can you change your nose?"
"It's okay to change it, but it may be difficult to find a suitable nose. Besides, why should I change his nose?" Wu Ming looked at Lu Xiaofeng speechlessly. He was a little bored. None of these people below were worth his effort.
What he needed was a thorough and exciting battle. These people could not even give him a thorough and exciting battle. Even if he killed them all, he would not even break a sweat.
"No way, can it really be changed?"
"However, the lesion of rhinitis is not in the nose." Sikong Zhaixing listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but interrupt.
To be honest, he didn't like standing next to Wu Ming. He always felt like he was being targeted by his natural enemy.
Moreover, he felt that Wu Ming's personality was a bit cold, and he didn't seem to want to make friends with him, even though Lu Xiaofeng kept calling out, a friend of a friend is just a friend.
But compared to Lu Xiaofeng, he trusted his intuition more. He could feel that although Wu Ming did not hate him, he could not say that he admired or liked him either.
Of course, he would not rush to make friends with Wu Ming. Having Lu Xiaofeng was enough.
Just like his relationship with Hua Manlou, it is far from being as good as his relationship with Lu Xiaofeng.
"The one who threw gunpowder all the time was the Netherfire Monk... Yo, yo, what a miserable death. The one who did it must be the Rose Sword Yan Nanfei, his swordsmanship is really good."
"It's Yan Nanfei, a member of the Qinglong Society." Wu Ming nodded affirmatively, with a hint of smile in his tone, but he was not smiling because of Yan Nanfei. He was smiling because Bai Yunxuan's posture of bending down just now was very beautiful and soft. This kind of flexibility, coupled with his proud figure, is hard not to like.
"No way, the people are dead, why are you two so happy? Forget about Lu Xiaofeng, but does the Nether Fire Monk have the qualifications to offend Lord Wu?"
"Of course he is not qualified, but monks are annoying to begin with, and monks who break their precepts are even more annoying. This Nether Fire Monk likes to play with gunpowder, and his movements hurt innocent people. It's best if he dies, which is the most annoying thing."
Wu Ming's gaze continued to stay on Bai Yunxuan. Ming Yuexin and Zhao Shirong were still in disguise, and their figures might be fake, so there was really nothing to see.
Chapter 126: Fierce Fight
“The one who covers his face and dares not see anyone should be Yan Tiexin. He has a knife hidden under his armpit, and his knife skills are dangerous and sharp. He can actually fight with Yan Nanfei for such a long time.” Lu Xiaofeng was eager to watch the fun, and he took out a handful of melon seeds from his sleeve and gave some to Wu Ming with tact.
"It is rumored that Yan Tiexin's most powerful skill is not his swordsmanship but his knife skills. It is also said that his sword skills are so fierce and ominous that someone will die when he uses them. With so many masters here tonight, I might be lucky enough to witness his swordsmanship." Sikong Zhaixing threw the melon seed shells he received at Lu Xiaofeng's face. He was grateful in his heart even though he said this. His original purpose of coming here was to get the Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea.
After all, Chu Liuxiang is involved. He is a star player in the stealing world. Even though you can't meet him on weekdays, he can't help but want to win in private.
However, his idea was known in advance by Lu Xiaofeng, who stopped him directly.
Initially, it was because Lu Xiaofeng was unsure of the Hua family and Wu Ming's thoughts and was afraid that he would get involved. Now, although the attitudes of Wu Ming and the Hua family are clear, looking at the fierce competition among the players below, he is extremely glad that he did not get involved.
Having been in the martial arts world for so long, he understood the importance of power best. If a loner like him really wanted to get involved, unless Lu Xiaofeng used his connections to rescue him for the sake of his friend, he would end up like that Netherfire Monk, dying like a cannon fodder and being worthless.
Chu Liuxiang is different from him. Behind Chu Liuxiang stands the Iron Blood Flag Gate and the famous Changchun Island. Ye Di and later both of them are figures who will become immortal gods on earth. With such a backer, neither the Qinglong Society nor the Power Gang will touch him easily.
Maybe there is a slight difference between the two in stealing skills, but in terms of the power behind them, he, Sikong Zhaixing, is far behind the other person.
"Look, Yan Tiexin is using his sword. What a strange sword technique."
The sword is a soft sword, different from the common soft swords in the martial arts world. When Yan Tiexin's soft sword comes out, the sword energy is lingering and strange, protecting itself like a snake or python, while hiding the ruthlessness of choosing the right opportunity, which cooperates with the equally feminine armpit knife in his hand.
It is said that solitary yin cannot grow and solitary yang cannot be born. However, Yan Tiexin's sword and knife are both feminine. When the sword and knife are unfolded, an invisible field appears, directly covering the area of 100 meters in radius. The sword energy in the field is as poisonous as a snake.
The marble floor of Taohua Fort was left with traces of knife and sword energy.
“This is a fight to the death.”
Wu Ming glanced at Yan Tiexin, then turned his gaze to Chu Xiangxiang who was protected by Yan Tiexin behind him, and suddenly felt that he was really a villain.
This is what love is. The one who risked his life was Yan Tiexin, but the one who got Chu Xiangxiang's blood was himself.
Domain is an ability that a warrior can only acquire after reaching the Grandmaster realm. It contains the warrior's understanding of martial arts. The Grandmaster begins to comprehend his own martial arts will. After the martial will is comprehended to a certain degree, he advances to the Grandmaster and begins to condense his will into a domain.
Only when one has condensed the Martial Domain can one be considered a qualified Grandmaster. For someone like Hua Ruling, even if he has condensed the Martial Domain, he cannot expand it beyond five meters.
Not to mention someone like Yan Tiexin, who could stretch a hundred meters in one go.
However, this one-hundred-meter martial arts field is also the limit of Yan Tiexin. He is preparing for a quick battle. It seems that Yan Tiexin still has a backup plan.
Otherwise, Yan Tiexin would soon be unable to hold on to such extreme martial arts skills, and Chu Xiangxiang's ability was not enough to take Yan Tiexin away.
"Is it worth it?" Roses bloomed like sword energy around Yan Nanfei, and he also formed a domain to resist. Mingyuexin and Baiyunxuan were all protected by him within the domain.
"Of course it's worth it." Yan Tiexin spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice. The two people's fields collided, and the sword energy eliminated the withering of the roses.
Yan Nanfei smiled bitterly and took half a step back, restraining his domain as much as possible. It was obvious that Yan Tiexin was determined to fight to the death. The other party was older than him and stronger than him. It was not a good choice for him to fight head-on when he had to protect someone else.
"Tie Xin, why don't you just give up."
"No, the Hanhai Jade Buddha is already in hand. I have already contacted Pingchang and Senior Brother Guan Yulou. They will be here soon."
"The Azure Dragon Society and the Power Gang are indeed strong, but this time, they are less prepared than us. As long as we hand over the Vast Sea Jade Buddha to that person, the deal will be done and we still have a chance."
Yan Tiexin had a gloomy face and didn't notice at all how guilty Chu Xiangxiang was behind him. In fact, after Wu Ming took her body away, she wanted to give herself to Yan Tiexin several times, even if it was not the first time.
But every time she had the thought, there was always another voice popping up to tell her to give up the idea. In addition, in order to plan the Hanhai Jade Buddha, both of them were very busy, so the matter ended up in nothing.
She hated herself, and hated Wu Ming even more. When she thought that Yan Tiexin was busy planning the Hanhai Jade Buddha while she was cornered by Wu Ming..., the guilt in her heart became more and more intense.
"Hand over the Hanhai Jade Buddha and I will let you go."
