Chapter 291: Why Not？
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen had never seen the Coffin of the Dragon King. Yu Huashen didn’t get any information about the inside of the Tomb of the Dragon King since Yu Lingxu was dead, while Ming Yu didn’t care about this kind of occurrence.
On the other hand, Lu Li was very excited by the news. The demons said that all the treasures of the Dragon King were inside the coffin, treasures of the former king of the Northern Desert. At least tens of billions of Xuan Crystals should be inside if not more.
Lu Li got a ring from the Coffin of the Dragon King. The ring contained 36 plants of Mystical Materials and six Rising Dragon Grasses which alone would be worth five or six billion Xuan Crystals. There must be something worth tens of billions of Xuan Crystals in the Coffin of the Dragon King.
Lu Li was desperate to get more Xuan Crystals. With enough Xuan Crystals, he could teleport his way to the Mystic Armor Region within a month or two and it would be very safe. Normally, violence was forbidden in the cities of the Central Plains which rendered teleportation between cities safe.
Lu Li took great interest in the news. He asked, “Golden Coffin? What does it look like?”
The scouts turned to Du Ran who nodded as a consent. The scout explained, “The coffin is a very magnificent one. It is about 30 feet in length, and more than six feet in width and height. There are four huge cold-iron chains tied off to its four corners and the entire coffin is golden in color. I think it is cast in gold. There are many runes and patterns on it. A huge saber is sticking in the coffin which clearly is a weapon of the Holy Grade.”
“So it is!”
The coffin described by the scout was identical to the one Lu Li knew. He now had confirmed his thoughts. What confused Lu Li was—how did the coffin end up in Central Plains after it took off from the Tomb of the Dragon King? Was it still controlled by that demon?
The Iron-armored Ship moved on. Lu Li didn’t ask any other questions. He just cast his glances forward. Du Ran then posed further questions about the situation. He was relieved upon knowing that messages had been sent back and the Du Family would send over reinforcements.
Another three miles forward, there seemed to be many people upfront. Many warriors were flying in the sky, trying to stop a huge golden coffin.
Lu Li threw one glance over and he was sure that it was the Coffin of the Dragon King. Currently, the coffin seemed to be alive. It dodged to the sides at a horrifying speed. It smashed one warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm away after another, struggling to break out of the encirclement.
“Eh?”
Du Ran seemed to be stunned and then his astonishment turned into excitement. There must be something valuable inside given how weird the coffin was…
“Qin Gang and Qin Yu?”
Du Ran frowned. Almost all the warriors here were from the Qin Family. The two Noble Lord Realm warriors they met before were here as well. Everyone was trying to stop the golden coffin. However, on the Du Family’s side, there was only one warrior of the Noble Lord Realm. Du Family would be at a disadvantage in this fight.
“Grandpa, do something. Later the coffin will be taken by the Qin Family.”
Du Lun had come out from the cabin for some time now. He was getting anxious, looking at all those big hand shadows smashing at the golden coffin. If Qin Gang put the coffin into his ring, the Du Family could not fight for it.
Lu Li saw that Du Ran was wrestling with himself. Lu Li offered, “Lord Du, I can send two men to help you. But… I want half of the treasures in the coffin.”
Yu Huashen was at the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm, Ming Yu understood “Force” and Du Ran was here. They should be able to best the two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm of the Qin Family with ease.
The treasures in the Coffin of the Dragon King must be very valuable. Even half of those would be enough for Lu Li to be teleported to the Mystic Armor Region. They were within the territory of the Du Family. Everything happened after the fight could be dealt with by the Du Family. Then why wouldn’t Lu Li go for it?
Before Du Ran could say anything, Du Lun answered with a sneer, “Half? Who do you think you are? Do you think there is no powerful warrior from our Du Family?”
“Pah~”
Du Ran slapped Du Lun into the cabin and scolded, “I will ground you for 10 years if you continue to be disrespectful to Young Master Lu.”
Du Lun was upset but he was afraid to say more. Du Ran cupped to his fists and said to Lu Li apologetically, “I am sorry, Young Master Lu. I didn’t teach him well. I will punish him after we get back. Half for us is too much. I will make the call now. As long as we can take that coffin, you can take 60% of what is inside.”
“60%?”
Lu Li didn’t expect Du Ran to be so generous that he would offer 60%. It was not the time to discuss those details. Lu Li looked at Yu Huashen and Ming Yu and said, “Go and take down that coffin.”
“Young Master…”
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen didn’t move. It was so chaotic and they wouldn’t trust Lu Li alone here. What if he was killed on purpose or by accident?
Lu Li smiled, pointed to the mountains down below and said, “Don’t worry, I will go to hide in that mountain with Du Lun. There are two scouts of the Du Family as well. We will be on our way as soon as you take down the coffin. Do you honestly think that the Qin Family will do anything at the territory of the Du Family?”
Du Ran thought so. Qin Family might have the courage to take the coffin, but not the courage to kill men of the Du Family. He nodded to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu, told the scouts something and then flew to the sky.
“Young Master, please be careful.”
Seeing that Lu Li insisted, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen followed Du Ran and left. Lu Li glanced at Du Lun, jumped down and found a concealing cave to hide. He peeped into the distance through the opening.
Du Lun didn’t get down. He was still holding a grudge to Lu Li after Du Ran slapped him. He wouldn’t stay with Lu Li at the moment.
The two Fate Wheel Realm scouts of the Du Family didn’t dare to be careless. One of them went with Lu Li and the other with Du Lun to protect them.
“Du Ran, get off! We found it first!”
From the distance came a loud shout. It must be one of the Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Qin Family. They were about the get the Coffin of the Dragon King so they wouldn’t allow Du Ran take it away from them under their nose.
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Du Ran laughed and said directly, “Qin Gang, you are now on the territory of our Du Family. Anything valuable here belong to the Du Family. You are taking food out of a tiger’s mouth. Do you want to go into war with us? Move!”
The Bead of Life of Du Ran enlarged and dark smoke came off from which covered up the sky. The smoke was as dark as ink, enveloping everyone here like a beast that was about to devour them alive.
The glistening Coffin of the Dragon King lost all its splendor. Only surprised shouts and explosive sounds came from that area.
“What kind of Profound Meaning is this?”
Lu Li was stunned and he asked the scout with him. The scout explained, “This is the Secret Gloom Profound Meaning. It is a combination of a fourth-rank darkness Profound Meaning and a secret skill. Patriarch Du Ran called it the Secret Gloom Profound Meaning, anyone at a lower realm than his cannot get out once trapped inside.”
“Nice!”
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. He had seem many Profound Meanings, but he was still astonished by the strength of powerful warriors. He was still so far behind.
“Swish, swish~”
The dark smoke spread around and it had covered up an area with a radius of more than a mile. Many warriors were trapped inside. Explosion sounds kept coming out from that area. It should be Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Du Ran fighting against the two Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Qin Family.
“You must succeed…”
Lu Li prayed to himself. He could obtain many Xuan Crystals if he could have the Coffin of Dragon King, which would render his trip to the Mystic Armor City much easier.
“What is that? Eh? How come the Coffin of the Dragon King is out?”
After a while, there suddenly was a ray of golden light in the distance. Accompanying that, the Coffin of the Dragon King was smashed out, rolled on the ground and then the light on it dimed down a bit.
“Whoosh~”
The Coffin of the Dragon King flew up again, smashed away two warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm quickly and then made its way to… Lu Li at a horrifying speed.
“Ha, ha, ha, the coffin is mine!”
Du Lun was overjoyed. He jumped up from the Iron-armored Ship. A three-layered Fate Wheel appeared and smashed towards the Coffin of Dragon King.
“Bang!”
The coffin was smashed out of course. The Fate Wheel was bumped to another direction as well. Lu Li shouted in surprise, “Damn it, sh*t of luck!”
Lu Li exclaimed about his bad luck as the coffin was coming towards the cave he was hiding in. He would be grinded into some minced flesh if he didn’t run away now.
