Imperial Treasure

——Even though the attendees of the third-floor meeting were considered the highest members, not to mention those downstairs.

What kind of treasure is it?

Gu Sansi exchanged a glance with Sui Yi.

Sui Yi frowned, is it that thing?

"Dou Tian Shu"

The Sect Leader took a sip from his cup, his voice somewhat deep and mysterious: "Legend has it, Dou Tian Shu possesses the Immortal God Effect, granting one an Immortal Body, living as long as the heavens and earth. But recent examinations of the corpses of previous owners prove it also holds the extraordinary ability to manipulate destiny. Anyone who owns Dou Tian Shu can rally people, rising and becoming Prince Cheng. It’s said to be the source of the human race’s lifeline."

"Those who obtain Dou Tian Shu, obtain the world."

The entire room fell into silence, many felt this statement was quite bizarre, yet the Sect Leader didn’t seem to be joking, and these forces all made moves, suggesting that the legend was believed by many.

However, the concept of Dou Tian Shu... was unfamiliar to most people.

But Bai Yu seemed thoughtful; she had been personally guarding King of Red Water. Although she hadn’t uncovered any secrets over the years, after Sui Yi read King of Red Water’s memories, its resistance diminished, and naturally, with Gu Qi’s efforts, they uncovered the secrets of Dou Tian Shu.

It turns out that this object has appeared throughout different eras, even in Northern Europe and America. But there’s very little information about it, as if previous owners purposefully hid its existence, leading to today’s partial understanding.

No, it should be said, there is one person who isn’t partially understanding.

Gu Qi and Bai Yu’s gaze was clear, making everyone naturally look towards Sui Yi.

"Dou Tian Shu, also known as the Emperor’s Vessel, is a Merit Tool bestowed with heavenly favor from the Primordial Human Race Emperor... Merit protection indeed can affect destiny, especially for the human race, but not everyone can handle it. Power and responsibility always go hand in hand. Once gaining the merit of the Emperor’s Vessel, one must pay corresponding costs, such as lifelong loneliness, bodily mutations, and... various others, differing."

Yao asked with calm eyebrows: "No exceptions?"

Sui Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "Monarch’s Destiny."

"Monarch’s Destiny? Gu Qi, I’ve heard your family raised a live-in son-in-law, is he Monarch’s Destiny?"

The Sect Leader’s words were half joking, but Gu Qi remained silent. However, Gu Sansi smiled: "Just half a monarch, impure intentions, incapable of major use, he has been dealt with."

Clearly her fiancé, yet she spoke of him without a trace of sentiment, lightly.

The person who dealt with her fiancé said: "He is unimportant."

Gu Sansi: "Yes."

Uh... Gu Qi glanced back and forth between the two, if this were ancient times, they might be put in a pig cage.

"Indeed unimportant, the focus now is whether Dou Tian Shu really ended up in their hands."

"Uh, is there a possibility it hasn’t reached them?"

The crowd became noisy.

"Those in the West often like bluffing, empty-handedly trapping the White Wolf, perhaps using Dou Tian Shu as a facade. After all, Dou Tian Shu’s whereabouts have long been concealed..."

Sui Yi: "Call Huang Long up."

Bai Yu and Gu Qi silently exhaled, they investigated behind the scenes and naturally discovered that back then, Huang Long was the only surviving and truth-knowing person. However, Huang Long’s contact with Sui Yi after being attacked in the mountains seemed to have formed a good relationship, making them suspect that Huang Long had already pledged loyalty to Sui Yi... as this person evidently seemed more trustworthy than the authorities.

Thus, obtaining accurate information about Dou Tian Shu from Huang Long wasn’t simple, unless Sui Yi allowed it, which was the decision Gu Qi and Bai Yu reached after discussion.

Fortunately, Sui Yi seemed to understand their intent.

However, did she also not know Dou Tian Shu’s whereabouts?

She hadn’t asked?

If forcibly asked, Huang Long would surely tell.

Huang Long was quickly called up, slightly confused, but seeing Gu Qi, Bai Yu, and others focusing on him, he instantly understood, his face turning slightly pale.

"Dou Tian Shu?"

He, being a seasoned veteran, naturally knew the reason for being summoned.

Gu Qi and others were silent, which equaled confirmation.

Huang Long couldn’t help scratching his head, "I..."

"The West is suspected to have taken Dou Tian Shu, we need to confirm the outcome, currently you’re the only one who knows Dou Tian Shu’s true location."

The Sect Leader propped his chin on both hands: "You have the right to choose, but I think you have no reason to refuse, for now the situation doesn’t allow you to stick to so-called principles."

Huang Long definitely understood the Sect Leader’s meaning, if Dou Tian Shu had actually been found, then proving his old friend must be gone as well.

"I know, back then, because of Dou Tian Shu, our group either died or injured, I was lucky to survive, but didn’t dare show myself publicly, only to remain hidden deep in the mountains, and Dou Tian Shu was taken away by one person, whose name I can’t reveal."

Huang Long’s words were evasive; naturally Gu Qi and the others’ minds inferred that it must have been an internal war within this group over Dou Tian Shu’s fate. Huang Long’s group won, and the person who took Dou Tian Shu was undoubtedly the one who killed the most. Regardless of motive, killing old friends in their era was a sin, and Huang Long kept the secret to preserve their remaining survivors’ reputation, refusing to confess until now.

"There’s no need to pursue your responsibilities, at least you did protect Dou Tian Shu. However, we need to find it."

Gu Qi’s gaze was sharp.

Huang Long clenched his teeth: "He has lived in New York for years, I can only take one person there."

Huang Long could only trust one person, he looked at Sui Yi, somewhat helpless: "Had I known earlier, I’d have told you."

Yet Sui Yi’s gaze passed over him, Gu Sansi closed her eyes.
