Chapter 122: Secret Vault

d shattered the dense water guns, took another step onto the sea beast's head.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!The figure swept past the three eyes of the sea beast, and t..."Your Majesty, the secret treasury is located within the main hall, guarded by palace guards. The key is your spirit-empty ring. If Your Majesty is interested, I can lead the way."

Wei Boyang was still dazed, while Zhuge Jun had already started making plans.

After all, he had to maintain the image of an honest official. Being reserved was sometimes inevitable, and besides, the first request made by Master Du Gu after taking office was indeed a bit unsettling.

On the contrary, Zhuge Jun is like a pig that's not afraid of hot water. He only cares about pleasing the lord and has no scruples.

The Ling Kong Ring is a ring representing the identity of the headmaster of the Ling Kong Hall. Apart from its storage function, it has no other special abilities, and its storage space is not large, even less than an ordinary storage box. It's about its long history and its symbolic meaning as an identity.

Doumian has already been passed on to him.

Of course, the ring was empty. All valuables had been cleaned out.

Jiang Wang played with the black ring in his hand, the two characters "Ling Kong" engraved on the inner ring.

He was very satisfied with Zhuge Jun's "insight", so he directly said, "Take me to see him."

Up to now, Jiang Wang has effectively taken over the Lingkong Hall, but there is no response from Yun Ding Xian Gong in the Five Fates Sea. He speculates that perhaps what matters is a certain token or kind of inheritance within Lingkong Hall, and therefore suggests looking into the secret treasury first.

Zhuge Jun was leading the way with high spirits, and Jiang Wang added, "The chief of Wei is also coming along."

Wei Befang, who was still regretting missing the opportunity, immediately perked up: "The master's order, I shall obey."

The entire Lingkong Hall didn't even have a single powerhouse from the outer realm. It was probably the case for the former hall master and protectors, but they were all dealt with by Dou Mian.

The current protectors and elders are all at the Neifu Realm of cultivation. The two slightly stronger protectors have already left with Dou Mian. As for the rest, in Jiang Wang's view, they were not even as strong as Chi Yunshan's powerful zither.

The newly appointed elder Zhuge Jun only has the cultivation of the peak of Tenglong.

Such a sect's strength, of course, surpasses that of ordinary city-states. However, compared to Lingxiao Pavilion, which also has a long history with Yun Ding Xian Palace, the gap is too significant. It's no wonder that in a small country like Cheng Guo, they lack autonomy and are easily subdued by Dou Mian.

Of course, a force like Lingkong Hall has its value. But being located in a place like Chengguo simply lacks the room for development for someone like Jiang Wang.

Although that is the case, it does not prevent Jiang Wang from trying to gather people's hearts and "tamed" his subordinates at this time. A worldly wise person is one who has undergone training.

>The "Palace of Offerings" is one of the three important halls in Lingkong Hall. Besides the Council Hall where they were previously located, there is also a Transmission Hall.

This hall is used to enshrine the incense of past hall masters and also serves as a secret treasury.

Nothing happened. The guards didn't recognize the new lord of the palace and held their ground, refusing to let Jiang Wang in.

Wei Bofang's aged face was already enough to make an impact in the Lingkong Hall, and Jiang Wang still wore the Lingkong Ring. No one dared to stop him.

Three people entered the main hall, and in front of the main hall stood the tablets of all generations of deans from Lingkong Hall. They were enshrined high, majestic and solemn.

A huge incense burner was emitting wisps of blue smoke in front of these tablets.

Jiang Wang lit an incense stick and said with a playful smile, "Should we also set up a memorial tablet for Dou Mian"

Wei Boyang and Zhuge Jun looked at each other, neither daring to speak.

They still didn't know the new hall master's personality, they didn't know if he wanted to kill Doumian, and they didn't know if he was serious or joking.

They saw with their own eyes how Jiang Wang returned the Heavenly Demon Sword to Dou Mian. That scene alone was enough to show that Dou Mian, a powerful cultivator from the prestigious Dou family, was in a weak position before Jiang Wang. Even in this matter of abdicating his throne, he was forced to do so.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But, perhaps Jiang Wang really dared to kill Dou Mian. They didn't even dare to think about it.

The newly acquired "subordinate" was so timid, Jiang Wang felt bored. He changed the subject: "What about the secret treasury"

This time, Wei Bofang eagerly spoke first: “It’s in the back hall. Only the master of the palace can enter. You’ll know when you go in.”

He gestured toward the ring-shaped indent on the wall: "Align the Lingkong Ring with this spot to open the back hall."

The Lingkong Ring was placed on his left ring finger. Jiang Wang used his thumb to gently rub it, remembering the lesson he learned from being tricked into a formation by Lin Zhengren before. He looked at the two elders he had appointed, a half-smile playing on his lips: "There won't be any traps inside, will there"

Here is the translation of your text:<

"How could that be How could a subordinate have any ill intentions towards the Hall Master" Zhuge Jun immediately declared his loyalty. Though, based on his previous status, he probably wouldn't even know what was in the secret treasury anyway.

Wei Bofang then stepped forward and respectfully said, “If the lord is willing to forgive my boldness, I am willing to go in with you and lead the way.”

This old scoundrel, probably riding a horse right now! Zhuge Jun cursed inwardly. He blamed himself for not thinking of this way to show his loyalty and get closer.

Listen.

To venture forth on an adventure, to be the pioneer, is a display of such unwavering sincerity and loyalty!

The problem is that they all know there's no danger in the Hall of Offering. No master has ever had an accident in the secret treasury. This kind of expression is a way to gain favor, with a hundred benefits and no harm.

Jiang Wang glanced at them for a while, and smiled: "Chief Elder is truly loyal. This seat was just joking with you all. Just wait here, this seat will be right back."

Zhuge Jun was only promoted today, so before that no one could have guessed he would reuse both Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun. These two people certainly couldn't have colluded beforehand.

Judging from their appearances, the Hall of Offerings should be safe. However, if there were any unusual reactions from the Cloudtop Immortal Palace, he didn't want these two to see it.

To say they were valued, these two people couldn't truly trust each other.

Therefore, Jiang Wang ultimately decided to go to the back hall himself.

Passing by the massive altar displaying the nameplates of every former master of Lingkong Hall, Jiang Wang extended his left hand, the one wearing the Lingkong Ring, and inserted it into the wall's indentation.

With a deafening roar, the thick gray-black walls split apart.

Jiang Wang strode in, and the walls closed again.

To be honest, throughout his journey to the Hall of Offerings and into the secret chamber, Jiang Wang felt a tinge of disappointment. The so-called "secret chamber" of Lingkong Hall wasn't particularly well-hidden at all.

It seems like just anyone can come in and kill the hall master, steal the Ling Kong Ring, with ease.

Upon entering the back hall, this feeling of disappointment grew even stronger.

Coming into view is a magnificent hall, indeed. Various ornate supports hint at past wealth and glory.

Unfortunately, most of the shelves were empty, with only a few objects remaining, all dull and lacking in luster. They didn't seem particularly valuable.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

But this was actually to be expected.

Lingkong Temple was crippled by Zhuang Chengqian many years ago. The remaining forces fled to Chenguó, barely clinging to survival. After years of recuperation and accumulation, there was no significant improvement. Recently, they were subdued by Dou Mian. Even if there were treasures in their secret treasury before, it's impossible that any remain now.

If Jiang Wang had known that Yun You Weng had also sneaked into Ling Kong Dian to plot, he wouldn't have felt so lost.

This place has been riddled with holes for ages.

The treasures in the secret vault, Jiang Wang didn't have much expectation about them. What bothered him was, if there were no suitable relics in Lingkong Hall, or that thing had already been lost... how would his Yun Ding Xian Palace manage

Could it be that the clue Baiyun Tongzi blurted out wasn't a real clue after all

Just now I thought of Baiyun Tongzi, and there was movement in Yun Ding Xian Gong in the Five Oceans Sea.

Jiang Wang opened his mouth and spat out a cloud spirit child the size of half his finger. He stood on a flowing cloud and drifted out slowly.
