Chapter 741: Chapter 606 Rebellious Bone in the Brain, Movements Exposed

Having received Xing’er’s affirmative response, Wang Yuan felt certain.

This meant that finding the bloodline of Huhai within the millions of people in the Great Qin Empire, even the "Corpse" itself, would no longer be difficult.

Although the Nine-Tailed Fox had no body, just a pure essence, even if she gave birth, the main role would be played by those women she possessed.

The descendants she bore had no relationship with her whatsoever in terms of blood.

But for the "Eastern Ghost Emperor" and the power of the "Small Book of Life and Death," even a faint causal link was totally sufficient.

Having resolved the key issue, Wang Yuan asked about the previous doubt again:

"Building this Small Thousand World was not the work of a single day. After the death of Emperor Shi, Qin Ershi was responsible for sealing the tomb and handling the aftermath. He must have known something.

Why would Huhai deliberately usurp it?

Is there any benefit to offering one’s own descendants to Emperor Shi as ’Corpses,’ worth fighting over among the siblings?"

The Little Fox Spirit tilted her head:

"I do not know that.

The all-conquering Emperor Shi was too powerful, having already reached the limit of the ’Martial Saint,’ a ’Demi Immortal’ descending into the world would likely be crushed by his hand.

The task given to the Nine-Tailed Fox by the ’West King Holy Mother’ was only to confuse Qin Ershi and destroy the unification of the Great Qin Empire. The process in between was not important.

Looking back, it seems more like Emperor Shi was going with the flow.

Using the Nine-Tailed Fox to have the entire Great Qin Empire ’dissolve’ soldiers, and then start anew in the tomb was a brilliant move."

The Nine-Tailed Fox that once terrified Overlord Chu was clearly not aimed at Emperor Shi, who didn’t even establish an Empress, but at Qin Ershi, Huhai!

He also fit all the characteristics of a ruler who leads his country to its downfall.

It made the annihilation of his country and clan seem logical, leaving no one to suspect that Emperor Shi had interfered with his own empire’s fate.

Neither the Nine-Tailed Fox, the West King Holy Mother, nor the Nine Soldiers Immortals knew Emperor Shi’s exact plan.

As both sides fiercely dueled, they perfectly concealed this unusual small detail.

It was evident how meticulous Emperor Shi’s actions were; the supreme ’Mysterious Vault God’ was destined to stand in opposition to both ’Heavenly Official’ and ’Corpse Dissection Immortal.’

At this time.

Huang Wu, who had replicated the contents of all historical records with the ’Calamity Butterfly’ and was rapidly searching keywords,

also read out the records of the ’Qin Record’ she had found, corroborating the Nine-Tailed Fox’s memory.

There were only two brief entries.

"In the first year of Emperor Qin Ershi’s reign, aged twenty-one."

The last words he said before dying: "I wish to be with my wife and commoners."

The "wife" here and the phrase "Your wife and children—I will take care of them. You need not worry" mean the same thing, referring to one’s wife and children.

All indicate that Huhai indeed once had a wife and children.

Since all records state that Emperor Shi’s family was exterminated, with the bloodline abruptly ending in the outside world and even the ’Nine Soldiers’ unable to find it,

the likelihood is that they were sent into this Small Thousand World in advance while the great tomb of Emperor Shi was being sealed.

"So, Huhai, the tyrant who killed all his brothers and sisters, actually had a shred of parental affection?"

Wang Yuan thought so and felt it might not be incorrect.

If Qin Ershi had the rights to know about the Small Thousand World hidden in the tomb, then ’accompanying’ Emperor Shi in burial wouldn’t be a bad thing.

In contrast, taking over the Great Qin Empire, which had sacrificed three hundred years of national fortune, was indeed a dead end.

It’s common for people to prepare a way out for their descendants.

But could things really be that simple?

Wang Yuan recalled what Duke Taishi wrote about Qin Ershi in the historical records:

"Huhai was extremely foolish, barking like an animal with a human head. Not fierce enough to deter evil, not sincere enough to avoid deceit, keeping him would not make him stay, his cruelty hastened his end. Even though he lived in a convenient state, he could not survive!"

In a word, an animal with a human head.

The designated heir was Fusu, the legitimate eldest son, who was generous, pure, and filial.

If he had taken the throne, it’s highly likely that Emperor Shi’s arrangements would have been carried out exactly as planned after his death.

But instead it was Huhai, a treasonous wretch who relied on eunuchs and killed his relatives to seize the throne.

Wang Yuan did not believe he would obediently follow Emperor Shi’s ’will.’

So, whether it was possible to break the ’Calamity,’ rescue the two Immortal Officials colleagues, solve the puzzle and escape successfully from the tomb to ascend to Heaven...

After all the explanations, the key lay in the bloodline of Huhai and the whereabouts of that "Corpse."

Hearing Wang Yuan’s monologue, Xing’er shook her head again:

"Before the fall of Great Qin, the Nine-Tailed Fox had already moved to Yu Ji to bring misfortune to Overlord Chu, who was the most likely to rebuild the unification.

It knew nothing about the aftermath of the fall of the Qin Palace.

Only that Huhai committed suicide, and the whereabouts of his corpse was also unknown.

By the way, although it’s not very obvious externally, Huhai indeed had an Innate Strange Phenomena growing on him—a ’rebellious bone’ in his head, known only by those closest to him.

It wasn’t entirely impossible for such a person to do something to his father’s Imperial Mausoleum using his own descendants."

After exhausting the last bit of information from the Nine-Tailed Fox’s brain,

Xing’er stretched out her finger and lightly drew it through the Nine-Tailed Fox’s branding on her belly, thereby extracting a strand of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s unique energy from her body.

Her true body, which was walking through Efang Palace, immediately opened its mouth and swallowed the energy with a "gulp."

Instantly, a mysterious sensation came from deep within the tower-filled Efang Palace.

"Found it!"

A flash of sharp light appeared in Wang Yuan’s eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he pinpointed the location of the Nine-Tailed Fox’s descendants.

[Daoist Skill · Ghost Chasing People]

There was no need to deploy Old Black, who possessed the power of "Acute Hearing of Heaven and Earth."

With just a bit of a living person’s blood, hair, name, birth date and time, energy, and other such mediums as a lead, even if the person hid at the ends of the earth, Wang Yuan would easily catch up.
