Chapter 410: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (35)
Just when everyone was immersed in all kinds of treasures, they suddenly heard a loud "bang", followed by a shaking of the ground, causing the dust above their heads to fall down, and several people almost fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Le Wanrou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She ignored her reservedness and grabbed Xiao Yihan's arm tightly with both hands.
"Earthquake? No, is it a tsunami?" Ji Feibai was also a little panicked. Liuyu Island was not very big. If such a big tsunami occurred and the sea water poured back here, they would be in danger of death.
"It's not a tsunami! Someone broke in!" Xiao Yihan tilted his head and listened carefully, then said with an extremely ugly expression. He seemed to remember something and said through gritted teeth, "It's the Against the Heaven Sect!"
"What did they do to make such a big noise?!" Wei Tao asked in shock and anger.
"Maybe they didn't find our entrance, and saw that we got there first, so they were too anxious and used thunderbolt." Mu Changqing said in a deep voice.
"Thunderbolt?!" Le Wanrou exclaimed. Thunderbolt was similar to the fire bomb in later generations. No wonder it could cause the earth to shake. It seemed that the people from the Anti-Heaven Sect had bad intentions and no scruples.
Shu Shichu was a little surprised. The fact that the Ni Tian Sect could produce Thunderbolt showed that they had some background. After all, the Fire Bomb at that time was not easy to manufacture and the raw materials were very rare.
"We have to get out quickly. They are using thunderbolts to achieve their goals. It's obvious that they don't take us seriously. If they blow up this underground palace, we won't be able to get out." Shu Shichu reminded.
When they heard this, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. However, there were so many treasures in the underground palace, and they each only had two hands. How much could they take out? If they couldn't take them out and left them to the Anti-Heaven Sect or were buried directly, they would be heartbroken.
However, no matter how heartbroken they were, there was nothing they could do but take as much as they could.
"You should decide for yourself what to take and how much to take. Don't be too greedy!" Mu Changqing reminded, "Those people in the Nitian Cult are crazy. If we touch these treasures, they will not let us go. You should be mentally prepared."
"These shameless people from the Nitian Sect!" Le Wanrou cursed, but she started looking for treasures even faster. Others also put away the treasures they thought were most precious. They came here and they couldn't go back empty-handed, searching for treasures in vain only to have the Nitian Sect take advantage of them, right?
The Anti-Heaven Cult was indeed very arrogant and reckless. They had already used three thunderbolts. More dust fell from the top of their heads, and even stones from the stone wall fell down and almost hit people.
Shu Shichu dodged the falling objects and quietly transferred boxes of treasures to his own space while no one was paying attention. Fortunately, everyone's minds were focused on guarding against the Ni Tian Cult and selecting treasures, and no one had the energy to spare for Shu Shichu.
"The underground palace can't hold on any longer, let's get out!" Xiao Yihan narrowly avoided a large rock and reminded everyone loudly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and noise coming in.
"The tunnel is right here!"
"Hurry up and get in! We can't let the treasure be taken away by Xiao!"
"If rocks fall, will the underground palace collapse?"
"Why worry about it? There are so many treasures hidden in there. The underground palace must be very solid. Let's go faster..."
…
As expected, the motley crowd of the Anti-Heaven Sect soon appeared in front of them. They were so excited that they didn't take the shaky underground palace they built seriously at all, thinking it was very solid.
But Shu Shichu secretly cursed the people of the Ni Tian Sect in his heart, calling them idiots for using thunderbolts to blow up the road. They must be crazy. Aren't they afraid of being buried in it?
"It's you! Xiao Yihan, Wei Taozhen..." The leader, a man with a goatee and wearing strange black clothes, stared at Xiao Yihan and the others and said.
"Old Hu! Don't worry about them, let's move these treasures out!" Another ferocious-looking man said to the man with a goatee, "Now is not the time to seek revenge on them!"
After hearing what Xiao Yihan and his group said, those members of the Ni Tian Sect who had been ready to take action suddenly ran to move the treasures and temporarily let them go. It was obvious that they still had some brains and knew the priorities of the matter.
Shu Shichu quickly transferred the jewelry and ancient books and paintings that were hidden by the gorgeous fur at the back into the space. Just as he finished transferring those at the back, he suddenly felt the ground shaking violently. Everything around him began to shake, and large pieces of rocks fell down.
"The underground palace is about to collapse! Run away!" Mu Changqing shouted and rushed towards Shu Shichu.
Xiao Yihan and the others also hurriedly fled back to the passage they came in, hoping to escape before the underground palace collapsed completely.
Those people from the Ni Tian Sect were busy carrying treasures and had no time to dodge. They were hit on the heads and bleeding, and wailed in pain.
Seeing that the vibration was becoming more and more intense and dust and debris were falling, disrupting the vision, Shu Shichu took the opportunity to collect the most precious treasures into her own space, then quickly grabbed Mu Changqing's hand that was extended to her, and escaped using light skills.
The underground palace was probably in disrepair due to years of neglect. It was built on Liuyu Island, an island that is soaked in sea water all year round. The walls were corroded by the sea water. In addition, the brainless Ni Tian Sect used thunderbolts to clear the way. Due to multiple reasons, the underground palace collapsed.
Shu Shichu and Mu Changqing were great at martial arts and finally managed to escape from the ground before the underground palace collapsed completely. Xiao Yihan and the others escaped earlier than Mu Changqing and the others, so they all managed to get out successfully without any casualties. However, those people from the Ni Tian Sect were not so lucky. They were all buried under the underground palace and probably would never have a chance to get out in this lifetime.
"Oh no, is Liuyu Island going to collapse too?" Ji Feibai felt that the ground was still shaking violently, and the rocky ground of Liuyu Island began to crack and even sank into the seabed piece by piece...
"Get back to the boat quickly!" Without even having time to catch their breath, the few of them had to flee to the boat again.
Fortunately, the boat they came on was parked near Liuyu Island, and the people from the Ni Tian Sect were in a hurry to find treasure, so they did not tamper with their boat, so their boat was still intact.
After all, they were running for their lives, so they all used their fastest speed and finally managed to escape back to the ship before Liuyu Island completely sank into the sea.
The few people on the boat, still in shock, fell silent as they watched Liuyu Island slowly being submerged by the sea.
After a while, Ji Feibai cursed angrily: "Those idiots of the Nitian Sect! Didn't they think that using thunderbolts to clear the way would blow up the underground palace? Now even Liuyu Island is gone, and they can be buried with those treasures forever."
"You've done this for your own fault! Good thing he died!" Wei Taozhen cursed angrily. He felt sad that so many treasures were gone.
