Everything that happened in Qianlong Palace was clearly investigated by Ji Tianxing.
With the power of his soul, he saw the two domain masters and Long Zaitian, and also heard their conversation.
He had been guessing before that Lord Bailiu and Lord Shangchuan deliberately provoked and ridiculed him, most likely under Long Zaitian's instructions.
After listening to the conversation between the three people, he became more certain of his conjecture.
In addition, he could also hear clearly the conversation between Long Zaitian and the Tiandu puppets.
When the Tiandu puppet opened the formation on the wall and opened the door to the secret room, he carefully watched the movements of the Tiandu puppet and wrote down the method to break the formation.
His keen intuition told him that the secret room was very important to Long Zaitian and must contain treasures or secrets.
As for the mysterious box that the Tiandu puppet took out from the secret room, he only paid a little attention to it and didn't take it too seriously.
When he thought about it, what Long Zaitian was willing to show to the public was definitely not something too important.
Its real core treasures and secrets must be hidden in the most hidden secret rooms.
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing made up his mind to explore the secret room when he found a suitable opportunity to see if he could find any clues.
He sat in the hall for about half a quarter of an hour when he heard the voices of the guards outside the gate.
"See His Royal Highness!"
The dozen or so guards guarding the gate all knelt down and saluted uniformly, with a very respectful tone.
The hall was quiet. When they heard the sound outside the door, everyone looked at the door.
Under the attention of everyone, the third prince, dressed in a golden robe and wearing a golden dragon crown, walked into the hall with a dragon's stride and a tiger's stride.
Behind him was a Tianyuan realm guard leader, wearing golden armor, with a majestic face, and holding a gray-black treasure box in his hands.
Seeing Long Zaitian's arrival, many guests breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to salute.
"See His Highness the Third Prince!"
"Meet His Highness the Prince!"
Not only many young heroes and wealthy dignitaries, but also the Lord of Hengshui River and the Lord of Yong'an also stood up and bowed down to Long Zaitian.
Only Ji Tianxing was still sitting, with a calm face and indifferent eyes as he looked at Long Zaitian and the mysterious treasure box in the hands of the guard commander.
Long Zaitian nodded with a smile and waved to everyone to take their seats without courtesy.
His impeccable performance not only demonstrated the majesty and dignity of the imperial family, but also appeared approachable, making everyone feel good about him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked to the front of the hall and sat down on the throne inlaid with gold and jade.
The guard commander was holding a gray-black treasure box and standing beside him upright.
Long Zaitian looked around the audience, his eyes swept over everyone, and he was full of aura.
Although his eyes glanced at Ji Tianxing and saw two empty seats next to Ji Tianxing, he seemed not to notice any clues and his expression remained as usual.
After a moment, he said: "Everyone, today is my fortieth birthday. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the banquet. It is my honor for you to come to Feilong City, and it also makes Feilong Palace flourish."
Shining...
It has been ten years since I held a birthday banquet. Today I would like to take this opportunity to gather with you all to connect with each other and exchange ideas.
After all, you are all the pillars of our clan and the mainstay of Zhongzhou..."
Long Zaitian said a lot of polite words, which made everyone smile, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively and cheerful.
"A few days ago, an important person learned that it was my birthday today, so he sent me a congratulatory gift in advance.
It's a pity that the big shot is busy with government affairs and can't come to the banquet, which makes me very regretful."
After hearing his words, everyone looked with interest and speculated who the big shot he was talking about was.
The Lord of Hengshui had a higher status, so he asked tentatively: "May I ask, Your Highness, the Third Prince, that the big shot you are talking about is the head of the Murong family?"
Long Zaitian frowned slightly, but immediately returned to normal, smiled and shook his head, saying: "It seems that everyone is very interested in that big shot.
Although this is not the main point, since everyone has doubts in their minds, I will say it directly...
That big shot is the divine general who guards the East China Sea."
Lord Hengshui suddenly realized what he was doing and nodded quickly: "It turns out to be that adult!"
Ji Tianxing had remained expressionless, but when he heard Long Zaitian's words, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"The divine general guarding the East China Sea? Isn't that Xiao Han? Is it possible that Xiao Han has a close relationship with Long Zaitian?
No! I have gotten along with Xiao Han. This person has an upright style of conduct and is fair and strict. He does not look like someone who is in cahoots with Long Zaitian!
Moreover, if he had colluded with Long Zaitian, he would not have helped me enter the East China Sea Imperial Court in the first place..."
At this moment, Long Zaitian continued: "This gift sent by the God General is very special. It was left by a strong man thousands of years ago. It is very mysterious.
It's a pity that this gift is packed in a treasure box, and there is an ancient formation seal on the treasure box.
The skilled craftsmen and formation masters under my command have tried their best and tried their best, but they have not been able to crack the formation and have never been able to open the treasure box.
No one knows what treasures are contained in this thousand-year-old treasure box.
I feel it is a pity, so I will take the opportunity to take out this item today for you to taste and help me brainstorm ideas.
You are all the top strong men and heroes of our clan, and I believe that with your talents, you will be able to help me open the treasure box."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the mysterious treasure box in the hands of the guard commander.
Everyone showed doubts and curiosity in their eyes, observing carefully.
The gray-black treasure box is as big as a basin and has an octagonal shape. It looks simple and mottled, exuding the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes.
The surface of the treasure box is engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, but it is so old that it has become mottled and blurred.
But even so, everyone can deeply feel that the treasure box contains majestic power, as heavy and majestic as a mountain.
Even if they can't see the treasure in the treasure box, everyone is sure that it must be something extraordinary!
Unfortunately, the treasure box is sealed by a powerful magic circle and no one can open it.
This made everyone feel itchy and couldn't help but want to open the treasure box and find out.
Seeing that everyone was attracted by the treasure box, Long Zaitian showed a playful smile and said: "Everyone, this mysterious gift should be regarded as the lucky draw for my birthday.
Among all of you here today, if anyone can crack the seal of the treasure box and successfully open the treasure box, I will give him this gift as a reward!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly became more excited and looking forward to it.
Not only the young heroes are gearing up, but even the older wealthy and powerful people are eager to give it a try, their eyes becoming fiery.
In the eyes of everyone, the gift given by Donglin God to the third prince must be a priceless treasure.
Whoever can break the seal and open the treasure box in public will not only get this treasure, but also gain great face and become famous in Zhongzhou!
This is a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!
