139 Clues to the Spiritual Stone Mine, the Imperial Mausoleum of the Preston Mountains
A cold glint appeared in Braydon Neal’s eyes. He gently opened the envelope. There were seven pages of information inside, including Searle Lambert’s photo.
Braydon must kill this man!
Westley Hader said, “I received news the moment you returned to Preston. On the same day, I asked Tristan to check on Gerald Neal, Harry Quinn, and Searle Lambert. The first two were easy to find in Preston, whereas Searle Lambert suddenly disappeared ten years ago. According to the information submitted by the dark division, he had died and disappeared.”
“I didn’t believe it at that time!”
Tristan Yandell, who had his head drooped, suddenly became spirited.
At that time, he had secretly investigated this matter. The matters that the capital’s garrison asked about, the dark division and the Special operations team had to assist.
After a thorough investigation, they finally found some clues about Searle Lambert.
This person had faked his death, changed his appearance, and forged an identity to hide in Lamar city.
As for why Searle Lambert was hiding…
As the former leader of the dark division in Quill, he must have known about Braydon in the north. He was afraid that he would come back for revenge, so he faked his death and hid from everyone.
Ten years ago, Braydon had already become a War God before he even turned ten years old!
As the eldest of the three sons of the north, Searle Lambert could not afford to offend Braydon. He probably regretted it deeply. If he had known this, he would have eliminated Braydon back then.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Back when the Neal family had an internal conflict, Gerald Neal had invited Searle Lambert.
Without external help, how could the Braydon branch have been defeated on that rainy night?
The third person that Braydon wanted to kill was him!
As a result, Braydon did not have a good impression of the previous chiefs of Quill.
“Brother, should I just disband Quill’s dark division?” Westley asked.
Westley’s words revealed his power. Quill was the provincial capital, and the leader of the dark division in Quill was equivalent to the deputy head of the Northern Hansworth team.
His status was extremely high!
However, in Westley’s eyes, he could disband Quill’s dark division with just one word.
The authority that a governor had was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
If Westley wanted to do it, the five great commanders could all be replaced overnight.
This was the power of a governor. He was in charge of the 70,000 elite soldiers of the capital’s garrison, the dark division and the five commanders.
Tristan Yandell scratched his head and said, “It’s not difficult. I’ll go to Quill myself. The leader of the dark division in Quill is Zander Zeller. If he dares to disobey my order, I’ll get rid of him!”
As the three of them were talking, one could imagine how domineering they were.
No matter which one of these three went out, they would all be big shots with indomitable spirit.
Just Tristan alone was ranked among the three great governors.
He also had the right to disband any of the dark divisions.
Braydon chuckled. “Since there are special operations teams in every place, there must be a dark division to balance it out. This is the rule, and the rules cannot be abolished. You two governors should know this better than I do.”
“But Quill’s dark division is getting restless!”
Westley lived in the capital, but he knew everything about Preston.
Braydon did not know whether to laugh or cry. He patted him on the shoulder. He did not need Westley’s help in his matters.
He could even settle some small matters by himself.
Before Westley left, he turned around and said, “Brother, on the day of your coronation, I will lead the 70,000 garrison troops of the capital to protect you!”
“The garrison of the capital cannot be moved lightly, and the rules cannot be violated.”
Braydon said softly.
However, once Westley had decided on something, there were only a few people who could change his mind, and Braydon was one of them.
The north had three sons, and each of them was like a dragon!
In front of the Neal family’s manor, a bamboo forest was planted outside. On a quiet path, Sebastian Wood carried a man covered in blood on his back, his steps uneven as he walked.
Sebastian was also heavily injured, and his path was filled with bloody footprints.
Logan Hall’s expression changed, and he went forward to help him up. When he realized that the person covered in blood was Steve Xavier, he said in anger, “Team Leader, what happened?”
“Please save the team leader, Northern King!”
Sebastian knew Braydon’s identity. He was the Northern King, and he should not have disturbed him, but Steve was seriously injured.
In Preston, only Braydon was a national doctor who could save people.
Without any hesitation, Braydon moved his fingers, and a touch of purple Qi appeared and entered Sebastian’s body, sealing all the major acupuncture points in his body and slowing down his injury.
Sebastian’s abdomen had a wound that was constantly bleeding.
Steve was more seriously injured. He was already covered in blood, and his breathing was weak. He was dying.
Braydon treated Steve on the spot. At the very least, he had to save his life.
After the arrival of the outsiders, Westley’s temperament was indifferent and cold. His thin lips moved slightly, “What’s going on?”
“You are…”
Sebastian was knowledgeable. He saw that Westley was wearing black casual clothes with a golden flying fish pattern embroidered inside.
He instantly started shivering all over.
There was only one person in the world who could wear the golden flying fish official robe.
That was the governor, Westley Hader.
“Preston team’s Sebastian Wood greets Lord Governor!” Sebastian’s face was pale as he bowed.
The special operations teams were directly under the jurisdiction of the capital.
The governor was the highest rank, and the five commanders had to follow his orders.
Sebastian had been in the Preston team for a long time, but this was his first time seeing the legendary governor.
Even Steve Xavier was not qualified to see Westley, let alone him.
Tristan glanced at the wound on Sebastian’s stomach. The blood was a little black, and there was some dark power left in the wound.
He frowned. “The wound was caused by a sharp claw. The yin energy lingering on the wound hasn’t dissipated yet. The person knew what he was doing!”
“You encountered a zombie?” Westley was in charge of the garrison of the capital. He sat in the palace hall, but he knew about the major events of various places.
In this world, there were not only martial artists.
There was also the existence of the yin-yang people, which filled the entire society.
There was an ancient tomb in the Preston mountains, as well as an ancient imperial mausoleum that was built since the year 960. It was said that the seven emperors and eight tombs were hidden in the Preston mountains.
The capital of the country then was located in Preston. It was the capital for 167 years. Its long history had buried countless royal descendants. It was as famous as Mount Bellow in Lamar city. They were both imperial tombs.
The Preston team had been monitoring the Preston mountains all year round, and there were a few places with extremely strong yin energy.
A place with heavy yin energy was suitable for burying the dead and becoming a resting place.
A place with strong yang energy was suitable for the living. It could prolong one’s life, strengthen one’s Qi and blood, and prevent any diseases.
This involved fengshui, which had been passed down for thousands of years. The Preston team had specialized fengshui masters and even Daoist priests.
Westley’s eyes were sharp. He could tell that there was a big problem with Sebastian’s injury.
Sebastian nodded with a bitter smile. “A few days ago, there was an exploration team that excavated an ancient tomb. Spiritual stones appeared in the accompanying burial pit, causing a gathering of Preston martial artists. The team leader took us there, but we encountered zombies.”
For zombies, it was the resentment of the living who had not dissipated before death and had been buried in a site where corpses would not decompose naturally. After hundreds of years, they would definitely become spirits and come back to life whenever they met a living person.
Most people in the modern world did not believe this kind of thing because they had not experienced the beating of the zombie master. If they had, they would surely live an honest life. After all, when the zombies appeared in Carlston, it caused a lot of commotion.
