Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 337 Entering the Secret Realm to Sever the Foundation

But it seemed that his aura was different. Apart from Jiu Mengzi and Mu Xueqin, who could tell that he had cultivation, everyone else seemed to regard him as an ordinary person.

Although I don't understand why, it has certainly provided me with a lot of convenience over the years.

Perhaps because this place is sparsely populated, the management is quite lax.

Following the wall of the red temple, Chu Chen soon pushed open a side door and entered the temple smoothly.

Surprisingly, those auras seemed to be getting further and further away from me.

In fact, the village was inhabited by the Kato clan. When the villagers at the village entrance saw the royal carriage approaching from afar, the clan's experts all went to greet it.

This is a family rule: when meeting members of the royal family, they must come out of the village to greet them.

This unexpected turn of events also brought Chu Chen a lot of convenience.

At this time, only a few ordinary soldiers remained at the entrance of the Red Temple.

According to the man in black, behind the statue in the red temple is the entrance to the jade mine. Once inside, one can obtain all the wealth of the entire Kato clan.

Chu Chen successfully entered the innermost room of the temple. Looking up, he saw a statue of a snake-headed, human-bodied deity standing tall in the center of the room.

Chu Chen didn't even look at it closely, and walked around the statue to the back.

After knocking a few times on the wall behind the statue, I found a hollow door.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed open the door and entered, where he saw a tunnel with lights on in front of the entrance.

Following the tunnel forward, a spacious stone chamber soon came into view.

But the scene inside truly surprised Chu Chen so much that he almost jumped up.

The stone chamber was divided into two sides. One side was filled with emerald green jade, while the other side contained yellow and white objects.

After working inside for a full hour, Chu Chen finally looked at the empty stone chamber with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly headed towards the entrance.

Just as he stepped out of the red temple and into the mountains, a group of people rushed over from outside the temple.

"Are there any outsiders here?"

“Your Majesty, the number of people who know about this place is very small, so how can you call them outsiders?”

Kato Yan looked at the perfectly preserved temple, and the anxiety she had felt all the way there finally subsided.

Just then, a powerful aura appeared at the entrance of the temple.

An old man, as thin as a rake, appeared before Kato and the others.

"We pay our respects to the Ancestor!"

Upon this person's arrival, everyone, including Kato Kane, knelt down in unison.

"Get up. Why are you in such a panic, returning with such fanfare? Do you want outsiders to know about the royal secrets?"

"It was one thing to bring that black-clad guard before, but now you've brought so many more people. What do you think?"

The old man glared angrily at Kato Yan and shouted insults.

"Ancestor, something has happened at the palace. I was worried about this place, so I couldn't attend to much else, which is why..."

"Hmph, you spend your days in debauchery and lack of ambition. Sooner or later, everything in the royal family will be ruined in your hands."

After saying that, the old man flicked his sleeve and headed into the temple.

But a moment later, he stormed out, shouting angrily: "Kato Kaname, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

"Ah, Ancestor, what has happened!"

As soon as Kato Kanichi finished speaking, the old man grabbed him and threw him into the stone chamber.

Kato Yan got up from the ground, looked around, rolled her eyes, and then completely fainted.

At this moment, Chu Chen had already left the territory of Fushan and was heading towards the sea.

The next day, Chu Chen found Chu Yi, Chu San, Chu Er, and Chu Jiu in the mountains and forests by the coast.

"What about the rest?"

"Godfather, there are still a few days left until ten days from now. They might still be on their way."

Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Alright, all of you, disperse and come back at the agreed time."

"Also, give me all the long weapons. Each of you carry a pistol for convenience, but don't stray too far from me, understand?"

As Chu Chen spoke, he took out three pistols and some bullets from his backpack and distributed them to them.

The group put their things down and, carrying their pistols, entered the seaside city again.

After seeing them off, Chu Chen waved his hand to collect the weapons and jade they had obtained from the black market, and then headed towards the city.

He found an inn, took out a Japanese silver coin, threw it on the innkeeper's counter, and gestured at the innkeeper.

Then the shopkeeper led him smoothly into a room.

The other four followed suit and all entered the inn.

At this moment, Kato Kaname was still unconscious after vomiting a mouthful of blood due to extreme shortness of breath.

The patriarch of the Kato clan interrogated all the soldiers, but failed to extract any valuable information.

All that is known is that an envoy from the Great Xia Dynasty, whom everyone called Young Master Chu, was trapped in the national treasury by Kato Yan. The next day, the palace was blown to smithereens by an unknown weapon.

The shadowy figure who knew the most was dead, as were the maidservant who took care of Young Master Chu and the officials who had seen Chu Chen.

The only person who knows the truth right now is Kato Kane, but he hasn't woken up yet.

The patriarch of the Kato clan was extremely anxious, constantly guarding outside Kato Kaname's room, waiting for him to wake up.

It wasn't until late into the night of the second day that Kato finally opened his eyes.

"Where am I? Am I dead?"

"The emperor has awakened! The emperor has awakened..."

Following a few shouts from the maids guarding the room, many people rushed into the room one after another.

Old Master Kato looked at Kato Yan on the bed, then at the person who came in, and said:

"Get out, all of you!" Upon hearing the patriarch's command, everyone left the room.

"Alright, Kato Kane, tell me the whole story."

"Ancestor, it's Chu Chen of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

After an incense stick had burned, Patriarch Kato stood up and, his anger blazing, said to the outside, "Chu Chen of Great Xia, I will make you pay for your blood debt!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a long sword and slashed at Kato Kaname.

"Kato Kaname, you deserve to die!"

After he finished doing all this, he called someone in from outside the door.

"Alright, that Kato Yan deserves to die. I've already cleaned up the house. You should support a new emperor. I'm going to Great Xia. Prepare the ships for me."

"I'll take care of it right away, Ancestor, but what about those soldiers that Kato Kaname brought outside?"

“Kill them all. Royal secrets are not for anyone to pry into.”

After finishing his sentence, Kato turned and walked into his room.
