Chapter 300
Sometimes it is really like the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. I clearly don’t want to go treasure hunting, but I always get sick for no apparent reason.
After the monk left, Cheng Hui sighed helplessly.
Sometimes it is really like the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Even though I clearly don’t want to go treasure hunting, I always get involved in it inexplicably.
Although there are gains every time, there are also great risks every time.
He knew that there were risks involved in cultivating immortality, but... there had to be time to rest, right?
The problems they encountered were one after another. They couldn't use the production team's donkeys like this, right?
Bah! Bah! I'm not a donkey!
Cheng Hui scratched his head and let out a sigh.
No matter what, the treasure map in the young monk's hand was given away by himself, and now that the person is missing, he also has some responsibility.
He looked at Lin Qingyang expectantly. Lin Qingyang was not surprised at all. He reached out to smooth his messed-up hair and said softly, "Go if you want to."
It can be said to be very considerate.
Cheng Hui chuckled foolishly, feeling warm inside. The feeling of being pampered and loved was truly wonderful. "Who said Lin Qingyang was paranoid?" "Oh, I said that myself. That's all right then."
The two of them packed their things... Actually, there was nothing to pack. The biggest advantage of a large storage ring was that you could carry all your belongings with you. Now they just stuffed the large double bed and wardrobe they had taken out earlier back into the ring.
It's not like they won't be coming back, so there's no need for them to take everything with them.
But Cheng Hui was worried that he would never come back...
Don't think he's joking. Didn't they just come out of the Forbidden Demon Battlefield? Now they don't even know where they are..._(:з」∠)_
After packing up his things, he left some valuables and asked Li Dongting to take good care of the servants. If they did not return for more than three months, they could leave on their own.
Li Dongting repeatedly assured that he would never leave without permission, but Cheng Hui repeatedly promised that this was not a test and was purely for their sake, so he reluctantly agreed.
Watching the new owner of the manor leave, Li Dongting prayed silently in his heart that nothing would happen to this owner. It was rare to meet a master with such a good temper, not to mention that these were two immortal masters.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang came to the Baiyujing branch in Beiliang City. There were two guards standing at the gate. They had no cultivation themselves, but their blood and energy were very strong. They could be considered masters in the martial arts world. Unfortunately, in Baiyujing, martial arts masters could only guard the gate.
Cheng Hui politely stepped forward to ask, and one of the guards hurried in to report. Soon, the monk who had visited them before came out and welcomed the two in.
He was very warm and polite. After asking them the purpose of their visit, he knew that they wanted to help find someone. He was very grateful and immediately took out the treasure map.
"Master Wen, what is your intention in showing the treasure map obtained by your sect to others without permission?" A cold voice came.
Cheng Hui looked up and knew from the voice that it was someone with bad intentions.
At the door of the room, there stood a tall and thin man with a frown on his face, staring at the monk named Wen with a serious expression.
"It turned out to be Hall Master Yuan. Hall Master Yuan misunderstood. They are the outer sect worshippers of my Baiyu Hall Beiliang branch." Hall Master Wen explained hurriedly.
"Outer sect priests?" Hall Master Yuan sneered, "I think you've lost your mind. At a time like this, the more outer sect priests there are, the less you can trust them! How do you think our monks disappeared? It was because these outer sect priests leaked the news!"
Master Wen was immediately displeased by this accusation: "Master Yuan, your words are irrational. The outer sect priests are also members of Baiyujing. You are discriminating against them like this. I must go to the Sect Master to have a discussion."
Hall Master Yuan snorted coldly, "We do need to discuss this. The people who went to investigate have returned. There are signs that the treasure trove has been opened, but there are also more traces of fighting. Judging by the traces, at least four sects have fought there. If someone hadn't deliberately leaked the information, how could the treasure trove we control have been discovered by others?"
Master Wen was shocked: "The people who went to investigate have already returned? How come I didn't know?"
As the head of the Beiliang branch, the people he sent out were naturally his subordinates. How could Head Yuan know the news before him?
Although this was not a big deal, it meant that his control over the entire Beiliang branch was declining.
Hall Master Yuan didn't answer his question. He stepped forward and reached out to snatch the treasure map away. "My Baiyujing affairs don't need to be solved by these ulterior motives of the outer sect."
Of course Cheng Hui couldn't let him have his way. With a turn of his wrist, he took the treasure map away.
Hall Master Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he pointed his right index finger at Cheng Hui's wrist fiercely. If this spot was hit, the wrist would be broken.
Cheng Hui's face darkened. He just dodged the other party, but the other party was so cruel. It was really too much.
He didn't need to do anything, as Lin Qingyang on the side had already flicked his fingertips, and a drop of white water flew out. There was a crisp sound, and a layer of white frost appeared on Master Yuan's fingertips and quickly spread to the back.
Hall Master Yuan withdrew his hand in shock and anger, and looked at Lin Qingyang with a bit of fear in his eyes.
He didn't even see how the other party attacked, which was really scary.
"Who are you anyway?" he shouted.
"Didn't I say that he was an outer sect worshipper?" Cheng Hui said impatiently.
What's wrong with this person? They came to help, but this person didn't help, and he kept looking for trouble. How big of a grudge does he have against those missing people?
"Impossible! You are so powerful, how could you be an outer sect worshipper!" Hall Master Yuan denied.
What he said was not completely unreasonable. After all, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were both cultivators in the late Jindan stage and half a step into the Yuanying stage. The head of the Beiliang branch did not have as high a cultivation level as them. Logically, it was impossible for him to become a worshiper of Baiyujing.
But the problem is... isn't this a coincidence...
They were just looking for a place to stay, and the young monk Luo Beidou offered it to them. In addition, the conditions he offered were good, so the two of them agreed.
Anyway, for them, the ultimate goal is to find a way to enter the endless void, and everything else can be regarded as an experience.
Master Yuan didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to question it either.
After all, the other party's cultivation is higher than his, and Master Wen is watching him covetously. If he acts too tough, he might be accused of destroying the unity between the inner and outer sects.
——Although he has always looked down on people from the outer sect.
"Hmph!" After being severely humiliated, Hall Master Yuan angrily threw his sleeves and left.
Cheng Hui looked at Master Wen with a puzzled look on his face: "What on earth is this person doing here?"
Hall Master Wen smiled bitterly. As the hall master himself had failed to foresee the dangers of the treasure trove due to Luo Beidou's disappearance, he held some responsibility. Hall Master Yuan was the one sent by Bai Yujing to hold him accountable.
As someone sent by the headquarters, he must be looking for faults in himself. What he said just now was nothing more than an attempt to use Cheng Hui and the others' status as outer sect priests as excuses.
As it turned out, these two were not to be trifled with and they just beat him back. This way of dealing with things made him feel very good both physically and mentally, but there was no doubt that he had definitely offended the head of the Yuan Hall.
Well, forget it, even if he offended him, he would offend him. He knew Yuan Tangzhu's style of doing things. Even if he didn't offend him, he would definitely target him. Instead of doing that, it would be better to let him suffer a setback.
Besides, although Luo Beidou didn't say it, he could feel that the strength of these two people must be extraordinary. If Master Yuan tried to cause trouble for them, he would be hitting a wall.
Thinking of the information that Master Yuan had just revealed, he immediately asked someone to call over the people he had sent out to look for clues.
There were seven people in the group, all of them were experts in the branch hall, and they were a little confused after being called over by him.
"Why didn't you report to me after you came back?" Master Wen said dissatisfiedly.
Everyone was shocked and looked at a thin and short man at the same time: "Li Kun, you didn't report to the hall master?"
Although Li Kun also showed a surprised expression, many people could see the guilt in his eyes: "I...I, I met Hall Master Yuan on the way. Hall Master Yuan was not at home, so I just need to report to him, and he will communicate with the Hall Master."
The leading man had a look of disappointment on his face: "You...you are misleading me!"
He ignored Li Kun who was still trying to quibble and repeated his report to Master Wen.
It turned out that after they went to the treasure place, they found traces of fighting inside. Judging from those traces, there were about four sects involved in the melee, including their Baiyujing.
Judging from the treasure map, this should be just the entrance to the treasure land, but all the traces there stopped abruptly in front of a huge dragon-breaking stone. He suspected that everyone was trapped behind the dragon-breaking stone.
"Dragon Breaking Stone?" Cheng Hui was puzzled. Isn't this thing usually activated when there's danger? Why would it be placed at the gate?
Master Wen had the same doubts, but unfortunately this team specialized in exploration and had no way to deal with such a huge dragon-breaking stone.
"That is to say, at least three sects also knew about the treasure trove, and coincidentally met with our people from Baiyujing?" Master Wen felt that the news was strange no matter how he listened to it.
The big man paused and said, "Master, I suspect there is more than one treasure map. It may be divided into many parts. It is even more likely that only when all the treasure maps are collected can the treasure be truly unlocked."
The big man's speculation solved Master Wen's doubts very well, and it made sense.
The other three factions may not have arrived there at the same time. It is very likely that they had already made preparations and were waiting for the last treasure map to be collected so that they could open the treasure together.
As for the fighting, it makes sense. After all, dividing it among four families is definitely not as good as having it all to oneself. Cheng Hui can even be sure that there must have been a melee among the four families at that time. If any one of them has weaker combat power, the other three families will definitely not mind taking an extra share.
But it seems that everyone's level is about the same, so they can enter the treasure trove together.
If the person was kicked out, the news about the treasure trove would have spread like wildfire.
"In that case..." Master Wen pondered for a moment. "Then, we should immediately ask the headquarters for help and request that they send a team to assist us. We will try to rescue them as soon as possible."
Cheng Hui glanced at Master Wen and was very satisfied that he put saving people first instead of focusing on the treasure.
He didn't know that Luo Beidou had an unusual background. Master Wen was focused on saving people, mainly because he was worried that if something happened to him, then let alone any credit, it would be uncertain whether he could continue in this position.
Anyway, a day later, the seven-member team sent by the main hall gathered at the branch hall, and Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang naturally followed Hall Master Wen into the team, trying to rescue the young monk as soon as possible.
