Chapter 1322: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
After leaving the Wang Tomb, Qin Shaoyou and the others immediately left behind the Wang Tomb defenders who had followed them all the way.
This group of royal tomb defenders had no idea that they were leading the way, and they just pursued Emperor Jianwu.
In the night sky, the fire light released by the alchemy furnace is particularly conspicuous, making it difficult not to notice.
Qin Shaoyou and others, who escaped from the royal tomb defenders, did not go directly to the direction of Wuzhao Mountain.
They first made a circle and headed elsewhere, keeping a look behind them along the way. Only when they were sure they were not being followed did they change direction and head towards Wuzhao Mountain.
The evacuation and transfer of Qin Shaoyou and the others went very smoothly.
In comparison, on the other side, Emperor Jianwu's gains were not so good.
With a supernatural object shaped like a dog's nose, Emperor Jianwu locked tightly on the two demigod auras that broke through the magic circle, and followed them at full speed on the fire-breathing alchemy furnace.
Finally, thirty miles west of the royal mausoleum, the supernatural object shaped like a dog's nose suddenly erupted into a burst of rapid barking.
This means that the target to be tracked is nearby.
Emperor Jianwu recited the incantation, and a ball of blood-colored steam rushed out from the alchemy furnace and fumigated his eyes, causing his eyes to turn blood red instantly, giving him the ability to see through illusions and concealments.
With these bloody eyes, Emperor Jianwu saw two figures fleeing in panic.
"Got you!"
He smiled ferociously and immediately activated the alchemy furnace to attack the two damn thieves.
He originally thought that a fierce battle would break out, but what Emperor Jianwu didn't expect was that as soon as the flames in his alchemy furnace spurted out and the evil spirits in the furnace were about to come out, the two figures disappeared.
Along with this, the auras of the two demigods also disappeared without a trace.
At first, Emperor Jianwu thought that these two demigods had some special abilities that could be hidden under his bloody eyes.
But soon, the evil ghost that flew out of the alchemy furnace brought back two palm-sized, roughly made puppets in its mouth.
Emperor Jianwu raised his eyebrows. He was a knowledgeable person and could tell at a glance that these two puppets were supernatural items.
But at this moment, they are full of cracks. Apparently they have endured too much force, which made them overwhelmed and damaged.
Emperor Jianwu knew immediately that he had been deceived!
The ones who broke through the magic circle and led him all the way here were not the thieves he wanted to kill at all, but these two puppets who were instilled with the power of demigods!
Emperor Jianwu wanted to collect some useful clues and auras from these two puppets, but failed.
There is not even a trace of the user's breath left on these two puppets.
Obviously, the opponent had prepared in advance and was guarding against his move.
"Who on earth is playing tricks on me one after another and ruining my good deeds?!"
The anger in Emperor Jianwu's heart burst out again.
He suddenly exerted force on his hands and crushed the two damaged puppets into pieces.
But what Emperor Jianwu didn't expect was that at the moment the puppet was crushed, two sharp rays shot out from it and went straight to the center of his eyebrows and heart.
"Puff-"
Although Emperor Jianwu immediately mobilized his magic power to resist, the power of these two sharp edges was beyond his expectation. It actually broke through his protective magic power in one fell swoop and shot directly into his eyebrows and
Heart.
"ah--"
Emperor Jianwu let out a cry of pain.
However, there was no blood flowing out between his brows and the pit of his heart.
Not only that, many tentacle-like flesh thorns emerged from the wound.
It was them that blocked the hidden weapons that were shot into the eyebrows and the pit of the heart, allowing Emperor Jianwu to avoid being shot in the head and pierced the heart, and pushed the two hidden weapons out with a surge.
Emperor Jianwu raised his hand and caught the hidden weapon that injured him.
It's two petals.
Black lotus petals filled with the aura of chaos and blood.
"Black lotus?"
Emperor Jianwu's face, while gloomy and ferocious, revealed a hint of suspicion and deceit.
"Is it the monster monk Lian Jia, or the family thief Wang Jinzhong? Or... is it someone who wants to frame the Black Lotus Sect to arouse my suspicion?"
The suspicious Emperor Jianwu looked at the two lotus flowers, and suspicious names popped up in his mind.
At this time, a group of royal tomb defenders who followed him finally, under the leadership of several tomb-guarding eunuchs, mustered up their energy and ran to catch up.
When several eunuchs saw Emperor Jianwu standing there, they howled at the top of their lungs: "Protect your Majesty, protect your Majesty!"
At the same time, they rolled and crawled to the side of Emperor Jianwu, shouting: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Our escort came too late, it will be a death penalty, a death penalty."
Emperor Jianwu glanced at them disdainfully and snorted coldly: "With my strength, do I still need you useless losers to escort me? It's enough if you don't ruin my good deeds."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jianwu's expression suddenly changed.
He jumped up onto the alchemy furnace. As soon as he stepped on it, flames immediately spewed out from the bottom of the furnace, carrying him up into the night sky.
Emperor Jianwu, who was condescending, could clearly see the 'fire dragons' rushing towards this side.
There is no doubt that these ‘fire dragons’ are the defenders of the royal tombs holding torches on their way.
Emperor Jianwu returned to the ground with an extremely cold expression. He stared at the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum and asked in a deep voice: "The guards of the royal mausoleum came out? Who asked them to chase them out?"
I don't know whether it was the influence of the night that prevented these eunuchs guarding the tomb from seeing Emperor Jianwu's face clearly, or whether they themselves were not good at observing words and expressions, otherwise they would not have been sent to the royal tomb to do the hard work of guarding the tomb.
They completely didn't notice how ugly Emperor Jianwu's face was, and actually said in a tone of claiming credit: "Your Majesty, it was us who let the guards of the royal tomb chase him out. Don't worry, even if we search the mountains and seas, we will do it."
Find the thief!"
Emperor Jianwu looked at these pig teammates and laughed in anger.
"Are you here to help me hunt down the thief? You are obviously helping the thief escape!"
"ah?"
Several eunuchs guarding the mausoleum, as well as the guard general who led the team, were all stunned when they heard this, and then screamed: "Your Majesty, our loyalty to you is evident from the world, how could we help the thieves escape..."
Before they had finished speaking, Emperor Jianwu waved his hand, and the flames in the alchemy furnace next to him were blazing. The firelight shone on his face, making him look as hideous as an evil ghost.
"I chased them all the way here and found that there were no thieves here at all, only two supernatural objects that can lure tigers away from the mountain... Where do you think those thieves will be? And what method will they use to leave the royal tomb?"
When the eunuchs guarding the tombs and the generals guarding the royal tombs heard this, their expressions changed greatly, but they understood what Emperor Jianwu meant.
"Those thieves were hiding in the royal tomb before. They used supernatural objects to fool us into thinking they had escaped. They took advantage of the opportunity when we left the royal tomb to quietly follow them, get through, and sneak out of the royal tomb?"
Thinking of this, they fell to their knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, you must be aware that we are not accomplices of the thieves, and we do not want to let them go. We, like you, have been deceived by them..."
Emperor Jianwu originally wanted to kill these losers, but now that they dared to say that he had been deceived, he became even more furious, feeling that he could not keep these people no matter what.
He raised his hand and slapped it on the alchemy furnace. He only heard a "buzz" sound, and the flames from the bottom of the furnace burst out like a fire dragon, instantly burning the group of eunuchs and guards in front of him to ashes.
Emperor Jianwu jumped up again and stepped on the alchemy furnace to return to the royal tomb, hoping to see if he could rush back and capture some clues.

The defenders who chased out the royal tomb were surprised to see Emperor Jianwu turning back.
However, before they could ask anything, a sea of rolling fire poured down from the alchemy furnace and burned them towards them...
