Li Dongkui was startled: "Sir, Dongkui had absolutely no intention of doing this. He really wanted to give the treasure key to you sincerely. I accidentally saved this treasure key from a dying cultivator. He was grateful for my life-saving grace."
, he gave it to me before he died, saying it was the key to an ancient treasure, so that I could have a chance to touch it, but later, I don’t know how the Yang family found out about it."
He smiled bitterly: "Originally I was very tempted and wanted to try my luck in ancient Tibet, but after experiencing this war, I understood that without strength, I would not get the great opportunity, but I might lose my life. This
I have no chance to collect the ancient treasures, so it is better to leave them to you, and I also have selfish motives. If you get the opportunity to collect the ancient treasures, the future will be better, and my Li family, as your subordinates, will naturally get better!"
What he said was sincere and he was undoubtedly showing his loyalty.
Xia Chen glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Dongkui was so thoughtful and could make a choice when faced with a mysterious treasure. I'm afraid most people couldn't do this.
He pondered for a moment, took the treasure key, and said: "Okay, in that case, I will accept it. You made it so clear. If I can get opportunities from the ancient treasures, the strength of your Li family will also increase."
Xia Chen was also planning for himself. There was no telling what would happen in the future. Since Li Dongkui expressed his loyalty, it would be best if he could leave a way out in Maplewood City.
Moreover, Xia Chen was also very moved by this mysterious ancient treasure. He was not a noble gentleman and refused to accept the benefits brought to his door.
Li Dongkui was overjoyed, knowing that by accepting the treasure key, Xia Chen truly regarded the Li family as his confidant.
Ten days later, Xia Chen followed the instructions on the treasure key map and came to a huge city called Yunyangdu, which was thousands of miles away from Maplewood City.
The location of the ancient Tibet is dozens of miles near Yunyang Capital.
According to Li Dongkui, there is not only one treasure key, but seven, and the ancient treasure is not a secret, it has already been spread within a thousand miles.
Countless casual cultivators and cultivators who got the news went to Yunyang Capital, hoping to get a share of the ancient treasures. Along the way, it was common to seize treasures and kill people, and intrigues were common. The casual cultivator who gave Li Dongkui the treasure key was hunted down and seriously injured.
No cure.
Looking at the prosperous Yunyang Capital City, with endless streams and bustling people, Xia Chen couldn't help but nod. This Yunyang City is ten times more powerful than Maplewood City. Compared with it, Maplewood City is just a village in the countryside.
Walking on the street, you can see acquired cultivators almost everywhere, looking at each other in a hurry, but I don't know whether they are cultivators from Yunyangdu itself or cultivators from outside looking for ancient treasures.
At noon, Xia Chen came to a bustling restaurant, asked for a private room upstairs, and ordered a few food and drinks. However, he did not start eating, but quietly practiced a Qi method.
There are many people in the restaurant, and there may be practitioners chatting, which is the best channel to eavesdrop on news.
As soon as his ears moved, the sounds from the upper and lower floors of the restaurant were clearly heard.
This ear-soothing technique is a miraculous skill in the Book of Heaven, which can enhance hearing by nearly ten times.
Xia Chen has been studying the magical arts of the Heavenly Book these days, and has learned a lot of new things. Although it has little effect on cultivation, at certain times, it can have miraculous effects.
After filtering out most of the messy and useless sounds, Xia Chen suddenly heard a high-pitched voice: "Brother Ma, when will we leave for the ancient Tibetan land? In the past few days, many practitioners have stationed in Yunyang City, I must have
They are all here for Guzang."
Xia Chen immediately listened attentively.
Another deep voice immediately said: "Xu Zhuo, keep your voice down, be careful that the walls have ears."
Xu Zhuo chuckled: "What are you afraid of? Brother Ma, we don't have the treasure key anyway. Along the way, I heard many people talking about Gu Zang. I heard that Gu Zang is an ancient magical monk who retreats in a cave.
If you have many treasures, whoever can get them will be rich!"
Brother Ma said coldly: "Don't just think about good things. There may also be forbidden dangers in the ancient Tibetan area. You may die at any time if you go in! If you don't live, there is no benefit."
"Brother Ma is right, but wealth is always found in danger. The cave of the ancient magical monk is worth a try. Unfortunately, we don't have the key, so we can only fish in troubled waters like others." A faint female voice said.
Xu Zhuodao: "Brother Ma, who has the seven treasure keys now? Have you heard any news?"
Brother Nama said: "The treasure key is the key to unlocking the ancient treasure. The person who gets it will naturally keep the secret strictly, but there is no airtight wall. Although it is not certain yet, there is a high possibility that the four treasure keys were sent by Haoran.
, people from Luo Yu Sect, Xie Feng Sect and Hungry Wolf Gang have obtained it, but as for the other three treasure keys, the whereabouts are still unknown."
Xu Zhuo said with a sad face: "Oh, these are the masters we can't afford to offend. The Haoran Sect, Luo Yu Sect and Xie Feng Sect are all one of the seven sects. Although the Hungry Wolf Gang is slightly weaker, it is still a gang that has been around for many years.
, we have absolutely no chance.”
"Our target is not them." The woman said, "Although we can't afford to offend these sects, there are other three treasure keys that must have fallen into the hands of casual cultivators or small families. It is impossible for them not to come and look for them.
Guzang, we can take action then."
When the word "attack" was mentioned, the woman's tone became extremely spicy.
Brother Ma sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. It is estimated that most people are like us, and they must be here for the other three treasure keys. The competition is so fierce, we can only act according to the opportunity."
Xia Chen's heart moved, and he realized that the Haoran Sect, Luo Yu Sect and Xie Feng Sect also knew about this ancient treasure. Why didn't he see the other four sects? However, Yunyang was too far away from the other four sects, so it was normal not to know the news.
.
The Haoran sect and the Luoyu sect rank first and second respectively among the seven sects. In terms of comprehensive strength, they are far above the Zhengxuan sect, Donghua sect, Yunling sect and Zhengyi sect.
Therefore, regular meetings are actually meant to form an alliance to prevent the Haoran and Luoyu factions from becoming too threatening.
Although the Xie Feng Sect is unknown in terms of strength, it is the only demonic cultivator sect among the seven sects. It has always been a solitary person and appears to be very mysterious.
As for the Hungry Wolf Gang, Xia Chen had never heard of it. It must be far different from the seven sects.
The three of them lowered their heads and said something again, as if they were discussing a plan, but their voices were so low that even if they were listening, they couldn't hear clearly.
Xia Chen was wary. He didn't expect that this ancient treasure would attract so many people. In addition to Haoran and other sects, there must be masters lurking in the dark. He was alone and had a treasure key, so he had to be careful when dealing with it.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the entrance of the hall, and as messy footsteps approached, the restaurant owner could be heard eagerly explaining: "Sir, it's not our fault, the single room on the second floor is really full, please bear with me...
"
"You bastards, you actually let us dine in the hall with those lowly people?" A cold voice yelled, "If there is no private room, you have to make room for us."
Snapped!
A clear slap sounded, followed by the shopkeeper's shocked and angry voice: "You...how do you hit someone?"
Xia Chen moved the screen of the single room slightly, and vaguely saw four young men wearing green clothes standing together. The leader of the young man had cold eyes and a domineering look on his face.
The hotel manager covered his red face and grinned, fearful and angry.
"It's easy to beat you. If you don't find a private room, I will demolish your restaurant." The leading young man said calmly.
"Uncles, you have also seen that the second floor is really occupied. If there is any space, can I not give it to you?" The shopkeeper really wanted to cry. He also knew that these people are practitioners and have strong martial arts.
, absolutely cannot afford to offend.
"Is it full?" the leading young man sneered, "Then clear the place for me. We'll take over the entire second floor."
He suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone on the second floor, listen, get out of the restaurant immediately."
"Ah..." The shopkeeper was stunned. He had seen such unreasonable people before, but he had never seen such unreasonable people.
"Which bastard is yelling and interrupting my meal? Are you tired of living?" An angry voice sounded, and a burly man walked out of a single room and looked at the leading young man fiercely: "What do you want?
court death?"
His eyes suddenly blurred, and his chest had been lifted up by the young man. He said coldly: "I think you are looking for death, so get out!"
He threw it casually, and the big man immediately screamed and flew out of the window. With a thud, there was a heavy muffled sound on the ground outside. He must have fallen hard.
The single room on the second floor immediately became chaotic. Except for Xia Chen, almost all the diners came out of the screen. Even the three Ma Ge people came out and glared at the teenagers.
A small number of these diners were cultivators, but Xia Chen only glanced at them and knew that the strength of these cultivators could not exceed the acquired second level at most.
A middle-aged man said coldly: "It seems that some of you are practitioners. Since we are all members of the same religion, why should we be so overbearing? Is it good for you to offend everyone?"
The young man said proudly: "Offend you? Bah! Do you casual cultivators deserve to be offended by us? We don't have time to talk nonsense. Get out of here and don't disturb our fellow apprentices from eating."
Everyone couldn't help being furious, and the middle-aged man said angrily: "I would like to ask you, who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?"
"Hey, I'll scare you to death if I tell you." The young man raised his chin arrogantly, "We are disciples of the Haoran Sect, but we are arrogant and we will drive you away. What? Are you not convinced?"
Haoran faction! Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air, as if a bucket of ice water was poured down on them, and the anger disappeared completely.
The leading young man sneered: "Are there any questions? No, just get out of here!"
Everyone looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to walk down the stairs with humiliation without saying a word.
The Haoran Sect is a behemoth in the Liang Kingdom, and many casual cultivators are nothing more than ant-like existences compared to them. Naturally, they dare not offend this giant.
The leading young man sneered, crossed his arms, and looked arrogant as if no one was watching.
"Senior Brother Qi, we'd better keep a low profile. Now that dragons and snakes are mixed together, there might be someone watching us in the dark. We have to be on guard." A disciple of the Haoran Sect suddenly said calmly.
This disciple had been standing behind the other three, lowering his head silently. Only then did he raise his head, his handsome face expressionless.
Xia Chen's heart suddenly pounded, and his pupils shrank violently. This disciple of the Haoran Sect, to his surprise, turned out to be Yan Bing!
