Chapter 364 Enter
Zhu Linlang was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "Okay, now that you have decided, I will fully support you. We will definitely succeed."
Fang Yue looked at Zhu Linlang gratefully, his heart filled with warmth and strength.
He knew that with Zhu Linlang by his side, he would have the confidence to face any difficulties and challenges.
In the next few days, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang made full preparations together.
Not only did they understand the detailed plans of the Shadow Pavilion, but they also formulated their own response strategies.
At the same time, they also strengthened their own training and preparation to ensure that they can exert their greatest strength in action.
Three days passed quickly, and the day of action finally arrived.
On this day, Fang Yue followed the plan of Shadow Pavilion and came to a secret assembly point outside Shenjing City.
He found that the people from the Shadow Pavilion were already here. Everyone was wearing black tights and black masks on their faces, looking mysterious and cold.
When Li Shengdong saw Fang Yue arriving, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He came over, looked at Fang Yue's shoulder and said:
"Brother Fang, you are finally here. Whether this operation can succeed or not depends on you."
Fang Yue smiled slightly and said confidently: "Pavilion Master Li, don't worry, I will definitely try my best."
Li Shengdong nodded, glanced at the Shadow Pavilion members present, and said loudly:
"Everyone, tonight's action is crucial. Our target is the treasure house in Shenjing City. As long as we succeed, we will gain endless wealth and power."
When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed with greed and desire.
They knew that if this operation was successful, the Shadow Pavilion would become famous and each of them would be richly rewarded.
As night fell, Shenjing City was shrouded in darkness.
Fang Yue followed Li Shengdong and others and quietly headed towards the treasure house.
They were like black ghosts, moving through the night silently.
As night falls, Shenjing City seems to be blackened by thick ink, with only scattered lights flickering in the distance, like lonely beacons lost in the darkness.
Fang Yue followed Li Shengdong closely. Their steps were light and fast, trying not to make any noise.
The surrounding Shadow Pavilion members are also well-trained, and the entire team marches in the night like a silent ghost army.
Along the way, they encountered several patrolling guards, but they successfully avoided them all under Li Shengdong's clever guidance.
Fang Yue couldn't help but secretly admire the wisdom and courage of the Shadow Pavilion Master.
Just as they were about to approach the treasure house, suddenly, a fire lit up in front of them, followed by bursts of neat footsteps and the clang of armor clashing. The imperial army of Shenjing City actually appeared at this time.
"Stop!" Li Shengdong shouted, and the entire Shadow Pavilion team immediately stopped advancing and quickly hid in the surrounding darkness.
Fang Yue's heart sank suddenly. He did not expect that their actions would be discovered by the Imperial Army so quickly.
"C-Zi Camp, stop them!" Li Shengdong's voice was low and firm, "Others, follow me around."
The members of the Shadow Pavilion immediately took action. Some of them, led by the C-shaped battalion, faced the Forbidden Army to delay time, while others followed Li Shengdong and quickly bypassed the Forbidden Army's patrol.
Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang followed closely behind Li Shengdong, their hearts beating faster.
This accident made them realize that the operation was not as smooth as they imagined, but they did not back down.
After bypassing the imperial army, they continued towards the treasure house. At this time, the security in Shenjing City had been strengthened, but they still moved forward cautiously, trying to avoid being discovered.
Finally, they arrived at the outskirts of the treasure house.
This is a mountain surrounded by many forbidden palaces. The mountain is not tall, but it exudes a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
The treasure house is hidden in the hinterland of the mountain. It is cleverly designed to be part of the mountain and cannot be detected from the outside.
"This is where the treasure trove is."
Li Shengdong pointed to the mountain peak and whispered to Fang Yue, "According to our intelligence, the entrance to the treasure house is hidden somewhere on this mountain peak."
Fang Yue looked at the mountain carefully, trying to find the entrance to the treasure house.
However, the surface of the mountain is covered with dense trees and vines, making it impossible to see where the entrance is.
Of course, there is no need to look for it deliberately, because many forces have already gathered under this mountain peak.
"It seems we are not alone." Li Shengdong said softly. Her eyes swept across the darkness, seeming to be able to see through the figures hidden in the darkness.
Fang Yue nodded, and he also felt the unusual aura fluctuations around him.
"In addition to the few people on the surface, there are at least two different forces lurking here."
"No matter who they are, their goals should be the same as ours, they are treasures in the treasure house."
Fang Yue analyzed, "We have to be careful and not let them benefit."
At this moment, a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded in the night sky: "Since you are all here for the treasure house, why don't you show up and discuss how to enter the treasure house?"
As the voice fell, several figures slowly walked out of the darkness.
Fang Yue took a closer look and found that these people were wearing different clothes, obviously representing different forces.
"Turns out he is a friend of Tiangang Sect and Spirit Snake Palace."
Li Shengdong recognized the identities of two of the forces. He sneered and said, "I didn't expect that you would also be interested in the treasure house."
"Li Shengdong, you Shadow Pavilion can come, why can't we come?" an elder of the Tiangang Sect asked.
"Tiangang Sect, Spirit Snake Hall..."
Fang Yue secretly recited these names in his heart. This was the first time he had heard of the names of these forces. Their appearance made this operation more complicated.
Sure enough, the water in this world is far deeper than he knew.
A charming woman from the Spirit Snake Palace said, "That's right, if the treasures in the treasury are inhabited by those who are capable, we at the Spirit Snake Palace will naturally want to take a share of the pie."
"Since everyone is here for the treasure house, we can join forces temporarily."
Li Shengdong suggested, "There are many treasures in the treasure house. We each take what we need without interfering with each other."
"Hmph, join forces?" the elder of the Tiangang Sect snorted coldly, "Li Shengdong, do you think we will believe your lies? You, Shadow Pavilion, have always been a loner. When has there ever been a time when you sincerely cooperated with others?"
The woman from the Spirit Snake Palace also smiled coquettishly and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master Li, we don't dare to seek skin from a tiger easily."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Although all parties came for the treasure house, their trust in each other was almost zero.
Fang Yue stood aside and silently observed all this.
They know that now is not the time to interrupt and need to wait for the opportunity.
"Since you don't believe me in Shadow Pavilion, that's fine."
Li Shengdong didn't seem surprised by the other party's reaction. He said calmly, "However, this treasure house is not easy to open and requires our joint efforts.
Moreover, as far as I know, there are other forces secretly coveting this treasure house. If we engage in internal friction, we will only benefit others. "
These words made everyone present fall into deep thought. They knew that what Li Shengdong said was quite reasonable.
Although there is a grudge between them, facing the temptation of the treasure house and other potential threats, joining forces may really be the best choice.
After weighing the pros and cons, the people from Tiangang Sect and Spirit Snake Palace finally agreed to Li Shengdong's proposal.
They decided to put aside their prejudices temporarily and explore the treasure house together.
However, just when they were ready to take action.
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the night sky: "Do you think you can easily open the treasure house like this? It's really ridiculous."
As the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
The person who came was wearing a black robe and a half-mask on his face, only showing a pair of cold eyes.
"Blood Demon Sect!" Someone exclaimed after seeing the visitor's attire.
The Blood Demon Sect was one of the most notorious evil forces in the Wei Dynasty, known for its cruelty and cunning.
Their appearance undoubtedly makes this already complicated battle even more confusing.
As everyone was arguing, suddenly, a sound of hoofbeats sounded, breaking the tense and stalemate atmosphere. In the night, a group of cavalry galloped over. Their armor shone coldly in the moonlight, making them look as powerful as a rainbow.
"They are the personal guards of the Wei royal family!" People with sharp eyes immediately recognized the identity of the person.
The cavalry team stopped at the front, and a general in golden armor jumped off his horse.
He walked up to all the forces, glanced around with a stern expression, and then said loudly:
"Everyone, this treasure house is the property of the Wei royal family. Is it inappropriate for you to break in like this without permission?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed.
Although the forces of all parties are powerful, they still have to be cautious when facing the Wei royal family.
Li Shengdong said in a deep voice, "Although the Wei royal family is powerful, they can't monopolize this treasure house, right?"
"That's right, the treasures must be kept by those who have the ability to do so, and the Wei royal family cannot be too domineering." The elders of the Tiangang Sect also agreed.
In the face of everyone's doubts and provocations, the golden-armored general was not angry. He said calmly:
"We, the Wei royal family, do not want to monopolize the treasure house, but this treasure house is related to the national destiny of Wei Dynasty. We cannot let outsiders get involved easily."
"What do the Wei royal family mean?" the woman from the Spirit Snake Palace asked delicately.
"It's very simple. We can explore the treasure house together, but the distribution of the treasures must be presided over by our royal family of Wei Dynasty." said the golden armored general.
After everyone heard this, they all whispered and discussed.
Although the proposal of the Wei royal family was overbearing, at this juncture, it was obviously unwise to become their enemy.
Moreover, the Wei royal family also made concessions and was willing to explore the treasure house with them.
Zhu Linlang pulled Fang Yue's sleeve and whispered: "Fang Yue, what do you think?"
Fang Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the proposal of the Wei royal family is a bit overbearing, in this case, we don't seem to have a better choice.
Moreover, if they can really preside over the distribution of treasures fairly, that might not be a bad result. "
Li Shengdong also nodded, agreeing with Fang Yue's view.
He turned to other members of the Shadow Pavilion and said: "We also agree with the proposal of the Wei royal family, but we must ensure that during the exploration process, all forces maintain peaceful coexistence and are not allowed to attack each other."
Of course, this is only temporary.
If you really see a peerless divine object, I'm afraid you will have to use your strength to speak for itself.
After getting the consent of Shadow Pavilion, the golden-armored general of the Wei royal family nodded slightly to express his approval of Li Shengdong.
He knew that in such an occasion it was crucial to be able to reach a consensus.
Although all the forces have their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, at least on the surface, they all agreed to the proposal of the Wei royal family.
"Since everyone has no objection, let's open the treasure house together and explore the treasures in it according to the agreement just now."
The golden armor general said loudly, revealing unquestionable majesty in his voice.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They knew that this was not the time for internal fighting. Only by unity could they successfully open the treasure house and obtain the treasures in it.
So, with the joint cooperation of all forces, they began to look for the entrance to the treasure house.
Although there was still suspicion and vigilance between each other, at this moment, their goals were the same.
After some searching and detection, they finally found the entrance to the treasure house hidden in the hinterland of the mountain.
It was a huge stone door, engraved with ancient runes, revealing a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
"This is the door to the treasure house." The golden armor general pointed to the stone door and said, "We need to work together to open it."
Everyone used their skills to input vitality into the stone door.
The runes on the stone door gradually lit up, flashing a mysterious light.
As time went by, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the treasure house.
The passage was dark and deep, as if it led to another world.
A mysterious and ancient atmosphere came to everyone's face, making everyone feel awed.
They walked into the passage carefully, taking every step very cautiously, for fear of triggering some unknown mechanism.
The stone walls on both sides of the passage were carved with complex patterns, which seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious history.
As they walked forward, they carefully observed these patterns and tried to interpret the hidden information in them.
After walking through the long passage, they finally came to the core area of the treasure house.
However, what shocked them was that this so-called "treasure house" was not just a cave or secret room for treasures, but a huge underground city!
Although this city is hidden deep underground, it is large in scale and exquisite in architecture, no less than any big city on the ground.
On both sides of the street, the well-arranged buildings reveal an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if they were witnesses of history.
Everyone was shocked by the huge underground city in front of them. They couldn't imagine that this mysterious treasure house actually hid such a magnificent building complex.
Each building looks simple and solemn, as if carrying endless history and stories.
"What exactly is this place?" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
The golden-armored general looked around with a deep gaze and said in a deep voice: "According to ancient records, this was the site of the ancient Divine Sect. They were proficient in mechanical and architectural techniques, and built this underground city so exquisitely." (End of this chapter)
