"Seniors of the Sword Sect, if we die, how will you distribute the treasure map? Will you hold it, or will he hold it?"

Su Chen looked up at Jian Zong and the two men and shouted loudly. The man in his words was naturally referring to the hunchbacked old man.

At this moment, the hunchbacked old man's ultimate move was still brewing. The more powerful the move, the longer it would take to charge up. Su Chen also wanted to seize the gap between his charging up and began to lobby the middle-aged man from the Sword Sect.

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man from Jianzong paused, not understanding what Su Chen meant.

"Would you trust the treasure map to the old man with a hunchback? In other words, would the old man with a hunchback be willing to give you the treasure map he snatched?"

As soon as he said this, the hunchbacked old man who was gathering strength immediately realized that Su Chen wanted to alienate the relationship between him and Jian Zongbai. He acted viciously, and he had no friendship with Jian Zongbai. It would be difficult for the other party to trust him if they formed an alliance at this time.

"Jian Zongbai, don't fall for his alienation plan. After I kill them, I will naturally give you the four treasure maps. After finding the treasure, I will only take my own part."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man from Jianzong lowered his head and glanced at Su Chen.

"You see, there is absolutely no need for you to worry, because I am the strongest person here, and no matter who wants to get the treasure, they must get my permission."

The alienation plan failed, but Su Chen did not show any frustration, but smiled and said: "Very good, since the senior Jianzong can collect the treasure map, then I want to ask about the secret that the ancestors of Wufeng have spent their whole lives not solving.

Are you sure you can untie it?"

Even if the treasure map is a complete piece of paper, it is just a piece of white paper. Once you get it, you may not be able to find the treasure.

The middle-aged man from Jian Zong frowned slightly. He had indeed considered this, but he was confident that he was the one destined for it. As long as he got the complete treasure map, he would be able to unlock the secrets.

But the young man named Wang Chen in front of him accidentally broke the wall and discovered the stone tablet. In the eyes of everyone, he is the real destined person. If he dies, will it have any impact on the treasure's appearance?

Just when the middle-aged man was uncertain, Su Chen spoke again.

"To tell you the truth, if I die, none of you will find the treasure."

These words seemed absurd and more like words to save his life, but they really made the middle-aged swordsman sect stunned. Even the hunchbacked old man who was accumulating strength hesitated and did not rush to take action.

At the same moment, Shangguan Quan, who was in a tense atmosphere, also relaxed his movements slightly and was no longer in a hurry to escape. He seemed to believe that Su Chen had found a way to save everyone.

Su Chen continued: "I am the destined person that the ancestors of Wufeng are waiting for. Not only everyone thinks so, but even Boss Dong from Wufeng thinks so too."

Ruoxi was slightly startled. According to what Su Chen had said before, she was the real one who was destined to be her. Why did he say that the one who was destined to be her was now?

Su Chen was also afraid that Ruoxi would cause trouble, so he quickly gave her a look and continued: "To tell you the truth, before entering the valley, Boss Dong came to see me and told me the secret of the treasure map, so, you guys

If you want to find the treasure, you must let me unlock the secret of the treasure map."

"Although I have a secret method to improve my strength, you should be able to see that this secret method cannot be used all the time. Even if it is used, I am no match for you two. You might as well hand over the treasure map to me and I will do it for you.

Unlock the secret, and then we go hunting for the treasure together. After we find the treasure, how about dividing it up according to strength?"

The scene fell into silence for an instant, as if everyone was pondering their own thoughts.

A moment later, the middle-aged man from the Sword Sect swung his white sword, drawing a streak of white light towards the mighty dark clouds in the sky. The white light passed by like a hurricane, and the seemingly dense dark clouds collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The interrupted old man with a hunchback stumbled and almost fell off the statue. At the same time, he looked at the middle-aged man of the Sword Sect in horror.

With just one strike of his sword, he broke the big move he had been preparing for a long time. The difference in strength between them was astonishing.

Su Chen and others took a deep breath. The crisis was finally over. There were no dark clouds hanging above their heads, and their breathing became much easier.

At this moment, Su Chen also understood in his heart that the middle-aged man from the Sword Sect deliberately made this move to intimidate everyone, and to warn him.

"It's up to you to see how you unlock the secret of the treasure map."

Immediately, an irregular piece of paper flew towards Su Chen wrapped in zhenqi.

Su Chen quickly took over this part of the sword sect's treasure map, and then everyone looked up at the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man snorted coldly, wrapped the four treasure map fragments in his hand with zhenqi, and threw them towards Su Chen below.

The five treasure map fragments were all in Su Chen's hands at this moment.

"I'll start with my ugly words. If you can't solve the secret of the treasure map, then the dark cloud just now will be your fate!"

After seeing Su Chen take over all the treasure maps, the middle-aged man from Jian Zong pretended to be dignified and added another sentence, and then raised his eyebrows at the young Jian Zong beside him, as if to show off his majesty at the moment.

Lingling.

But the young man didn't take it seriously. He knew in his heart that the reason why the sword was so terrifying just now was because his father, the real sword Zongbai, deliberately retained some power in the blade for them to use for self-defense.

At this moment, in addition to the few people above the statue who were carefully watching Su Chen's every move, even Shangguan Quan next to Su Chen was also watching him nervously.

For Shangguan Quan, he was able to escape the hunchbacked old man's move of Black Cloud Palm with the help of his silver spiritual power, but it was absolutely impossible for him to dodge Jian Zongbai's sword.

, if Su Chen fails to decrypt, it means that he will also suffer together.

After Su Chen spliced ​​the five treasure maps according to the gaps, he held them gently in his hand, then looked at Xueyao and Ruoxi beside him and said, "I'm going to take a gamble, do you believe me?"

Xueyao and Ruoxi nodded at the same time, but neither of them spoke anymore.

call--

Su Chen took a deep breath, and then took out the fire seal on his body.

"What is he going to do!"

"Is he going to destroy the treasure map?"

This move instantly alarmed the hunchbacked old man and the middle-aged sword sect man above.

So much so that the white sword in the middle-aged man's hand shook slightly, immediately making the atmosphere extremely tense.

Fortunately, all parties maintained restraint and did not take action. The main reason was that although Su Chen lit the treasure map with fire, his expression was extremely serious and did not look like he was deliberately destroying the treasure map.

Is it really possible to burn it with fire? If it fails, does it mean that the treasure will never be found again?

At this moment, everyone was filled with worry, and their eyes were fixed on the flame that was about to burn out.

"you wanna die!"

The flame slowly extinguished, but nothing happened. The hunchbacked old man suddenly couldn't hold himself back and was about to step forward again to kill Su Chen.

"Wait!"

The middle-aged man from the Sword Sect also frowned. Just when he was about to strike Su Chen with his sword, he was surprised to find that the black ash after the treasure map was burned flew up.

Under the gaze of everyone, the ashes of the treasure map gathered into a plume of black smoke in the air like a living thing, and then the black smoke floated in one direction.

At this moment, no one needed to explain or take the lead. Everyone spontaneously followed Hei Yan. They knew without guessing that Hei Yan was going to take them to the treasure place.

Sure enough, after passing through a series of woods and swamps, everyone followed the black smoke and arrived at the foot of a small mountain peak.

The black smoke was in everyone's sight, drilling straight into the mountain and disappearing.

"Is this the place where the treasure is hidden?"

Everyone was confused because there was nothing here except a hill and a pond at the foot of the mountain. There were no caves, rock platforms or special places guarded by strange beasts.

Su Chen first looked at the pond on the side and found that the pond was filled with the sharp corners of lotus leaves that had just emerged.

"It's spring now. When summer comes, there will definitely be a lotus pond here."

Ruoxi walked to the pond with Su Chen, looked at the pond and said lightly.

Lotus Pond!

Su Chen suddenly felt something familiar, or familiar. After recalling it, he remembered that the base of the statue in Wufeng Temple was a lotus pond. In other words, the ancestors of Wufeng had been here before, and it was also in this lotus pond that they met.

Arrival of fairies and giant turtles.

"Did the ancestors of Wufeng already know the secret of the treasure map?"

"But that's not right. The treasure map has clearly been passed down, which means that the ancestors of Wufeng have found this place themselves, but still haven't found the treasure. Could it be that the treasure is not here at all?"

Just as Su Chen was talking to himself, there was a strange movement from the nearby hill.

Everyone who was originally searching for treasures suddenly gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The so-called unusual movement was actually not that big. It was just that some rocks slipped from the hillside, making the already uneven hillside even more uneven.

In everyone's opinion, one of them must have made too much noise while searching for the treasure, causing the unstable gravel to fall.

"The black smoke just penetrated into the mountain. Could it be that the treasure is hidden in the mountain?"

The Jianzong youth wondered, but everyone laughed. They all knew such an obvious thing, and what they were looking for everywhere was a passage to the inside of the mountain.

"Brother, do you think this mountain is a little strange?"

Xueyao carefully observed the mountain and started to ask questions.

Su Chen followed her instructions and connected the uneven patterns on the mountain. When he looked at the whole mountain again, he suddenly gained a new understanding.

When the gravel had not fallen just now, the uneven lines could not be connected together. Now, after the gravel fell, the depressed lines were actually connected together and spiraled up to the top of the mountain.

"Brother, what do you think this mountain looks like?"

Xueyao already had the answer in her heart at this moment, but she still wanted Su Chen to confirm it to prevent herself from being dazzled.

Su Chen frowned and replied: "This mountain looks like a coiled snake."

"ah--"
