"The Zhuge family..."
Thinking of this, Ye Ling felt an even stronger premonition that he was close to the answer.
For a moment, Ye Ling tried the Zhuge family estate in Xichuan, the ancestral hall of the Marquis Wu Sect, and the Marquis Wu Temple as reference points. However, the coordinates obtained from the archive room remained without any pattern on the map.
Xu Changsheng looked at the crossed-out coordinates on the wall and sighed softly, "It's still no good, is it? I've tried all the important places of the Zhuge family in Xichuan. Wang Die wouldn't use something this simple as a reference for coordinates."
"No... there's still one place left to try..."
Ye Ling looked calmly at the crossed-out coordinates on the wall and, with a wave of his hand, retrieved a file from the bookshelf.
Seeing the file in Ye Ling's hand, Xu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, "That is..."
"It's the archival information of the past branch masters of this Xichuan branch," Ye Ling opened the file bag and flipped through the documents, saying lightly, "This file should be the highest level in this archive room, and it contains Wang Die's life story."
Soon, Ye Ling found the page where Wang Die was and quickly scanned her information.
Seeing Ye Ling's serious expression, Xu Changsheng also curiously leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the coordinate origin is in this file?"
"An eighty percent chance..."
Ye Ling locked onto a line of text in the file, his lips curling slightly.
It read:
Parents deceased, buried in Yichuantianxian.
"Yichuantianxian..." Xu Changsheng read the information on the file, his eyes flashing with surprise, "Isn't that in this Yunchuan mountain range, and not far from this branch? It's a rather terrifying natural danger."
"Wang Die actually buried both her parents there?"
Ye Ling said, "Although I don't know what Wang Die is carrying, the moment she succeeded as the branch master of the Yunchuan branch of the Yugong, she went to smash the Marquis Wu Shrine. It's clear she harbors extreme hatred for the Zhuge family of Xichuan."
"And their hatred is clearly a continuation of the grievances between Zhuge Die and the Zhuge family... As Zhuge Die's daughter, inheriting Zhuge Die's resentment, Wang Die should have a deep bond with her parents."
"It's logical for her to use Yichuantianxian as the coordinate origin."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Xu Changsheng immediately marked the location of Yichuantianxian on the Xichuan map on the wall, and at the same time, dotted the six coordinate points on the map with Yichuantianxian as the origin.
"These six coordinate positions are paired, and the three lines actually converge at one point!" Xu Changsheng stared at the converging point on the wall, his face filled with shock.
Ye Ling looked at the location marked on the map, a faint smile on his lips, "This Wang Die... is quite interesting."
The point marked on the map was precisely the Zhuge family of Xichuan!
Xu Changsheng said incredulously, "Why... would the Yugong's top-secret archives be hidden in the Zhuge family? Could it be that the Zhuge family of Xichuan and the Yugong are secretly allied?"
The Zhuge family of Xichuan was also a great clan that had been passed down for nearly two thousand years. Although there were no red-dust immortals who ascended in their clan, their family was rooted in the Yanhuang land, and their clansmen were always known for their exceptional intelligence. Their Marquis Wu formations were unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
It could be said that the Zhuge family of Xichuan held a near-peak position in Yanhuang, and could be considered a prominent hidden clan in the open!
And Yugong belonged to overseas forces. If the Zhuge family of Xichuan and Yugong were allied...
Xu Changsheng swallowed slightly, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
At this moment, Ye Ling shook his head, "I've searched Zhuge Feng's soul. The Marquis Wu Sect did not ally with Yugong. This should be some method Wang Die used to specifically place Yugong's top-secret archives in the Zhuge family."
"After all, the Marquis Wu Sect has always been known for its formations. When storing things in China, there should be no safer place than the Zhuge family."
"Mas... Master?"
Xu Changsheng looked at Ye Ling with some surprise, not reacting for a moment.
Searched Zhuge Feng's soul?
The information contained in this short sentence from Ye Ling was too immense!
After a moment, Xu Changsheng recovered and asked Ye Ling, "Then, are we going to the Zhuge family of Xichuan now?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "The Marquis Wu Sect is still quite far from here, and we don't know where in the Zhuge clan's territory those archives are hidden. Going there now would be a waste of time."
"After tomorrow, I still have to return to Shanghai. Before that, I need to cast the bait. Delay will lead to complications."
"I remember that in a few days, it will be Zhuge Feng's birthday. At that time, your Shushan can also use the excuse of congratulating him to infiltrate the Zhuge family."
Xu Changsheng bowed slightly, "Changsheng understands."
Since the archives were placed in the Zhuge family, they could go there at any time, so Xu Changsheng was not in a hurry about this matter.
Moreover, the Marquis Wu Sect was different from Yugong. They were a legitimate prestigious family in China, and even the Dragon Department had to show them respect. Although their Shushan was transcendent, they were in the same region as the Marquis Wu Sect. If they met unexpectedly, it would be difficult for him to barge into the Marquis Wu Sect rashly.
If they were discovered, it would be very difficult for the Shushan Sword Sect.
"Since the puzzle here has also been solved, put everything back in its place. The rest is my business."
Ye Ling returned all the moved archives to their original positions, and at the same time, erased all the scratches on the wall.
Soon, the archive room was as if no one had been there, except for a slight lack of dust.
After tidying up everything in the archive room, Xu Changsheng asked Ye Ling, "Master, the deputy branch master of this Yugong Yunchuan branch is always busy with tasks and rarely stays in the base. If we wait here, can we really wait for him to return?"
Ye Ling walked out of the archive room and chuckled, "Normally, we might not be able to wait, but today, we definitely will."
After arriving at the Yugong Yunchuan branch base, Ye Ling had already discovered several extraordinary individuals from the Hongchen Pavilion.
The appearance of extraordinary individuals from the Hongchen Pavilion in this Yugong indicated that Yugong had arranged a transaction with the Hongchen Pavilion. Coupled with the fact that the deputy branch master Yang Shan had recently bought Li Xiaomei's bracelet, Ye Ling could easily guess that this transaction was initiated by Yang Shan.
Although Yang Shan had not yet activated the bracelet's secret key, his ability to buy the bracelet from Luo Xin suggested that he had noticed something. Therefore, arranging a transaction was understandable.
Since it was Yang Shan who arranged it with the Hongchen Pavilion, he would naturally not fail to return.
Xu Changsheng did not have the ability to cover the entire Yugong branch base with his divine soul. At this moment, he did not know what Ye Ling meant, but since Ye Ling had said so, he could only choose to believe and quietly follow behind Ye Ling.
Ye Ling slowly wandered around the Yugong branch base, visiting all the important spots, before leading Xu Changsheng to the VIP room where the extraordinary individuals from the Hongchen Pavilion were resting.
Casually dealing with the few extraordinary individuals from the Hongchen Pavilion in the VIP room and burning their bodies clean, Ye Ling then swaggered to the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for Yang Shan to arrive.
