The young master ignored the incessant chatter of the old man beside him, put down the instrument, sat cross-legged, and began to try to absorb the spiritual energy here, with a mysterious faint light appearing around him.
"Indeed, it is spiritual energy. According to our speculation, as long as we find the source of the spiritual energy here, then the useless technique will no longer be useless, but a transcendent divine technique!"
The young master muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming excited. The group of people behind him felt the same way. Once this palace was revealed, it would be enough to prove the authenticity of the mythical era.
Wang Hao and Shi Mengqi, who were hiding behind the dragon pillar, looked at each other in surprise. They were clearly not expected that there would be other people here, and it seemed that they had come prepared.
Just as the two were pondering their next move, ripples suddenly appeared on the other side of the hall, and another group of people entered the hall.
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, the relaxed atmosphere vanished. The two groups quickly drew their weapons and aimed at each other without exchanging a word, and a chilling aura filled the air.
"Are you from the Red Moon Organization?"
The young master showed no fear of the enemy's firearms and remained at the forefront of his team, his bronze mask adding to his mystique.
At that moment, another person walked out from the opposite side. He took off his mask, revealing himself to be a foreigner with short blond hair and blue eyes.
When Wang Hao saw this person's appearance, his eyes widened immediately, because this person's face looked exactly like the lifelike mask he had worn before!
The blond, blue-eyed foreigner looked the white-haired young master up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then he said in fluent Chinese, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Yin Yi, the young master of the black market."
"Let me introduce myself. I am Lucas, the leader of Red Moon in this operation. It's fate that we've met here. How about we join forces to explore this place?"
Wang Hao was startled and narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected to encounter the legendary young master of the black market here. If the two joined forces, his situation would be dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yi laughed heartily, his hands clasped behind his back. Although his face was obscured by the mask, his eyes revealed utter contempt.
"Lucas, right? Don't forget this is China, and Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains in China. Isn't it a bit too much for you to enter the country without permission?"
Lucas wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "When did the black market become so righteous? Besides, times have changed, and national borders are becoming increasingly blurred."
"Besides, with the weapons you have, it won't be easy for you to take us down. Rather than fighting a lose-lose situation, it's better to join forces and maximize our benefits."
Yin Yi was wearing a mask, so no one could tell what he was thinking. However, the people in the black market behind him dared not relax for a moment and were ready for a big battle at any time.
On the other side, the Red Moon organization did the same, pointing their firearms at the people in the black market, their eyes filled with murderous intent and solemnity.
For a moment, the vast palace returned to silence, but it was incredibly oppressive, with only the soft breathing of the people being heard.
"Okay, I agree..."
Yin Yi suddenly shouted, startling everyone. Just as the last word was about to come out, a tense member of the Red Moon Organization flicked his finger, and a spark suddenly appeared.
"Bang!"
This gunshot was like a fuse; immediately, gunfire erupted, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the spot.
Wang Hao hid behind a dragon pillar in a corner, holding Shi Mengqi tightly in his arms. He was both amused and exasperated, and he considered several possible reasons for their fight.
But they never expected that the two sides would accidentally clash, resulting in a fierce battle. Several bullets even hit Wang Hao's side, scaring the two of them into hiding behind the dragon pillar, not daring to move an inch.
For a moment, the ancient palace was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and gunpowder. On the Red Moon Organization's side, someone was preparing to use a shoulder-fired missile, but Lucas stopped them.
"Are you crazy? You want to die, but I don't. Do you really think this palace can withstand the impact of such a weapon?!"
This scene made Wang Hao's scalp tingle. At the same time, he was considering whether to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the interior of the palace. After all, this was only the outer perimeter, and there might be a huge amount of spirit stones inside.
However, this fierce battle came and went quickly. The two sides fought fiercely for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before ceasing fire, because they saw the figures of another group of people directly in front of them.
"Isn't that Chi Tu?" Wang Hao's pupils shrank. That group of people was Chi Tu and his men who had just entered the palace. Their arrival forced the Black Market and the Red Moon Organization to stop.
"Something's wrong, everyone find cover!" Chi Tu reacted immediately and gave the order. Fortunately, no one made a move for a moment, which gave them time to retreat.
"There are so many people. With our strength, it will be difficult to get even a small share of the pie." Shi Mengqi regained her composure and calmly analyzed the current situation.
Wang Hao smiled and said softly, "That's good. The more people come, the more chaotic the situation will become, and then we'll have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Just as the two were discussing in hushed tones, Yin Yi, the young master of the black market, who was hiding behind a dragon pillar, spoke up first: "The new friends must be from an exploration organization."
"Why don't we join forces and eliminate Red Moon first? After all, this is Chinese territory, and it's not up to an overseas mercenary organization to get involved. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lucas immediately became anxious. His hoarse voice came from the other side as he said in a deep voice, "Don't trust them. The black market is planning to make us both suffer, and then reap the benefits."
"Hmph, my black market has always prioritized integrity, but you foreigners have done plenty of treacherous things." Yin Yi sneered.
While the two sides were entangled, Chi Tu quickly looked around and found that there was no way to leave the palace.
In other words, their location was transformed, and they were transported to the interior of the palace by an unknown force.
"Boss, this stalemate isn't going to work. It'll probably be a while before the big financial groups and powerful families arrive. Why don't we join forces with one side and gain the upper hand?"
"We'll wait and see how things unfold. Anyway, we're strong and well-equipped now, so we have nothing to fear from them."
Dumpling remained unusually calm and quickly analyzed the situation on the scene. After all, the atmosphere here was extremely tense, and the palace was riddled with bullet holes, clearly indicating that a major battle had just taken place.
Chi Tu nodded and said loudly, "There's no need to argue. No matter how fierce the internal strife in China is, we will definitely unite against external forces. As for the Red Moon Organization, we are old acquaintances."
"Now we are giving you a chance to live. We don't know what lies deep inside the palace, so we need pathfinders. You now have two choices."
"First, you can go deep into the palace as a vanguard; second, you can be eliminated by our combined forces. Choose one."
