Chapter 607 Stealing Treasures
The next afternoon, Tu Gongzi and Wanshenghou summoned everyone to gather in front of the Tu family compound.
"Everyone, our mission today is to seize the treasure hidden in the back mountain. Please follow me," said the Earth Prince.
"If this matter can be accomplished, rest assured, everyone will be well rewarded," said Marquis Wansheng smugly.
Afterwards, everyone followed them to the back mountain on the eastern outskirts of Qingling City.
There is a mysterious mountain range here. The mountain range is very large and is shrouded in mist all year round, so not many people rush to enter the mountain.
Many local veteran hunters dare not set foot there.
However, it has always been said that a peerless treasure is hidden in this mountain range.
It must have been the Cloud Emperor who, during his participation in the struggle for the Red Frost Skin, stopped by Light Spirit City on his way back and discovered the treasure in the back mountain.
Only then did he send his subordinate, Marquis Wansheng, to retrieve the treasures from the back mountain.
After about two hours, the group finally entered the back mountain.
The place was shrouded in mist and the mountains were steep, but this was not a big deal for the selected experts.
The forest was quiet, and the sound of footsteps on the ground could be heard clearly.
The complete silence, whether near or far, suggests that the forest is fraught with danger, hence its lifelessness.
Leng Yun was puzzled, wondering what kind of treasure they were about to face that required such great effort.
The gathering of these experts must have been at the behest of Emperor Yun.
Such naturally formed treasures are usually guarded by magical beasts.
They could handle ordinary magical beasts, but a high-grade magical beast was no match for them, even if all of them were to fight it.
However, for Leng Yun, the more powerful the magical beast, the happier he was, because that would make it easier for him to seize the treasure amidst the chaos.
All of them were experts and fast-moving, and in less than half a day, they had reached the mountain peak in the center of the mountain range.
It turns out that this treasure can only leave the vault when there is moonlight, so Wan Shenghou and his companion chose this time, which happened to be the time when they arrived at the mountain peak, at midnight, when the moon was high in the sky.
The group followed Wan Shenghou to the vicinity of a mountain cave.
At the entrance of the cave, Leng Yun could already sense a strange power.
It seems that the treasure is inside the cave, and its quality is not low.
Just as Leng Yun was getting excited, a huge creature suddenly appeared from the nearby woods.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was a huge black snake.
It stands a full two meters tall, and its body is as thick as a tree trunk.
At this moment, the giant snake was staring intently at the people on the ground with its blood-red eyes.
A thick, pungent smell of blood immediately filled the entire forest.
One of the experts snorted and immediately shot a stream of light from his hand toward the giant snake.
This stream of light is the attack power of a martial arts master at the Radiant Martial Realm. It is incredibly powerful and could shatter even boulders into dust under normal circumstances.
However, the light that struck the giant snake had absolutely no effect.
The giant snake hissed and flicked its tongue before lunging at the expert who had attacked it.
In the blink of an eye, the giant snake swallowed the expert whole, leaving him no chance to even scream.
Immediately afterwards, the giant snake swept its tail towards Leng Yun's position.
Leng Yun reacted extremely quickly. With a thought, a yellow shield appeared in front of him.
At the same time, two other selected experts stood beside Leng Yun, each gathering their strength in hopes of blocking the giant snake's attack.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the giant snake's tail struck the three of them simultaneously.
The three were instantly sent flying.
Leng Yun was surprised, not expecting the giant snake to have such immense power. He felt a sweet taste in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew back ten meters before landing on the ground.
The other two were directly killed by the giant snake's power, bleeding from all seven orifices and collapsing limply to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, never expecting the giant snake to be so powerful.
Of the five experts selected in such a grand manner, three were killed by the giant snake in a short time.
Another person, upon seeing this, turned pale with fright and ran away, completely forgetting about the mission.
Now, only Leng Yun, Wan Shenghou, and Tu Gongzi remain on the entire field.
“Brother Bai Shu, if you can kill this giant snake, I can give you three times the reward!” Tu Gongzi said from the side.
Leng Yun sneered; how could he not see through the young master's intentions?
The other party wanted to use him to lure the giant snake so they could profit from it and obtain the treasure.
However, Leng Yun also had her own ideas.
With a swift movement, Leng Yun headed towards the giant snake.
The giant snake arched its body once more, its blood-red eyes fixed on Leng Yun.
Seeing that Leng Yun had reached the vicinity of the giant snake, the giant snake was ready to attack.
Suddenly, two broken rulers appeared in Leng Yun's hands, one yin and one yang, which were the Yin-Yang Burning Lamp Rulers.
Immediately afterwards, Leng Yun split into two, using the Yin-Yang Immortal Slaughtering Ruler's clone technique.
Using the momentum of his forward charge, Yang Lengyun instantly slithered past the giant snake and headed towards the cave inside.
On the other side, a chilling cloud struck the giant snake.
The giant snake, struck by the ruler, felt the pain and became even more enraged, chasing after the cold, dark clouds.
At this moment, Yin Lengyun suddenly turned around and headed towards the direction of Tu Gongzi and Wanshenghou.
His intention was clear: to lure the giant snake to the side of the Earth Prince and the Marquis of Wansheng.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time Tu Gongzi realized what was happening, he had already seen the giant snake shooting towards him.
His face was deathly pale, and his pupils were filled with the image of the giant snake.
At the same time, the gloomy cloud vanished instantly and appeared beside the yang gloomy cloud, the two parts merging into one, becoming a gloomy cloud once again.
Leng Yun became increasingly proficient in using the Yin-Yang Immortal Slaughtering Ruler. Wherever one of his clones was, the other clone could instantly teleport there and merge into one.
This is equivalent to Leng Yun mastering the art of teleportation, which has endless uses.
He didn't know if the Earth Prince and the Marquis of Ten Thousand Victories could defeat the giant snake. He wanted the two of them to die by his own hand, so he could gain some experience points.
But right now, the most important thing is to find that treasure and then go out to deal with them.
Leng Yun walked quickly into the cave, reaching its depths in less than five minutes.
Deep within the cave was a stone chamber. On the ceiling of the chamber was a small hole through which the cool moonlight shone down, illuminating a stone platform.
On the stone platform, a silver cup was placed, faintly emitting a silvery light.
