With a loud rumble, the mountain in front of them suddenly collapsed. At the foot of the mountain, a tunnel leading to the interior of the mountain gradually appeared!
Seeing this scene, everyone’s breathing became increasingly rapid.
The mountain treasure had appeared!
“Lei Bao, lead half of your men into the tunnel. The rest of you, stay where you are with me.”
Albeit the extremely heavy responsibility, Gongye Yuyu was exceptionally calm. He sat on his horse and looked around leisurely, before revealing a mocking smile.
“Look at this bunch of fools. They think they are the chosen ones, but who would’ve thought that they are nothing more than stepping stones on the path of others.”
“Young master, aren’t we going to take action?”
“This is a small matter. Lei Bao will take care of it. The reason I brought him here is because Lei Bao has this ability.”
“What ability?”
“The ability to destroy the mountain treasure.”
Gongye Yuyu laughed coldly, his eyes flashing with coldness.
“When the mountain treasure was born, countless people coveted it. However, I, Gongye Yuyu, believe that this mountain treasure will only be a disaster. Therefore, my order to Lei Bao is to destroy the mountain treasure immediately.”
“Young master, I don’t understand.”
“There are many things that you don’t understand. I don’t have to explain them to you one by one. In short, if we can destroy the mountain treasure, the glory of the Central Plains Sect Alliance will continue for another three hundred years. However, if we don’t, I’m afraid we will end here.”
Gongye Yuyu seemed to have lost his interest and did not continue speaking. Seeing this scene, the others could only obediently shut their mouths.
At the same time, at Victor’s side…
“Should we go in too?”
“Of course not. If we go in now, wouldn’t we be courting death?”
“Courting death?”
“Of course. Look. Although this mountain looks very tall, but how big can it actually be?
“Once they start fighting, the mountain will collapse, and less than ten people will be able to survive!
“Moreover, how can senior sister guarantee that the mountain treasure is in this cave?”
“Then what do we do?”
“Just wait. Before long, someone will tell us what’s going on inside.”
Victor turned around and leaned against the tree trunk. He looked at the serious Nalan Lengling and fell into deep thought.
There was no doubt that Nalan Lengling was also charming. Unlike Lian Hua’s charm, Nalan Lengling gave people the feeling that she was cold and distant.
However, once you really got to know her, you would realize that she was a little clumsy and poor with words, but she had a good nature.
“Senior sister, did I tell you that there was a spider on your shoulder?”
As soon as she said that, Nalan Lengling froze on the spot, not even daring to breathe.
“Wang… Wang Cheng, take it down quickly…”
“Oh? Is senior sister afraid of spiders? Strange, why would senior sister be afraid of such a cute, furry spider?”
“Wang Cheng… Stop fooling around, take it down quickly.”
Yes, when facing a hill-sized corrosive poison spider, Nalan Lengling would not feel the slightest bit of fear. However, it was this kind of harmless, palm-sized ordinary spider that was able to make Nalan Lengling feel uneasy, freezing her in her movements.
Seeing that Nalan Lengling was truly panicking, Victor had no choice but to shoot out a stream of energy and send the spider flying.
“I didn’t expect senior sister to be unexpectedly cute when it came to spiders.”
“I… I’m not afraid, I just hate it. Don’t you think that these furry, many-legged insects are disgusting?”
Nalan Lengling did not hide her disgust toward spiders at all. If it was not for the fact that she had received an education from a young age that forbade her from swearing, she would have long used vicious words to curse the spider that had climbed onto her shoulder.
“Wang Cheng, don’t spread this news, especially not to Xinxin!”
“Speaking of Nalan Xinxin, senior sister, what is your relationship with her? Are you both really sisters?”
“Of course, can’t you tell?”
‘Uh… I really can’t tell.’
Victor cursed in his heart and said, “Of course I can tell. It’s just that, when senior sister treats Nalan Xinxin, you’re especially cold and even heartless. I’m just curious.”
“No, it’s just that when facing Nalan Xinxin, I don’t know how to be a good sister. Eighteen years ago, Xinxin was just born and was only this big. I was only two years old at that time. I vaguely remember that the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was me.
“It’s just that, all this time, I didn’t know what to do or how to carry out my duties. As time passed, I lost the topic of conversation with her.”
“So, she’s arrogant?
“Just like your current state.
“It doesn’t sound like anything good.”
Nalan Lengling glanced at Victor and continued, “Later, I left home and came to the Fire Sect to cultivate. She often wrote to me. The most common sentence I’ve seen is, ‘In the future, I’ll be like my older sister and become a heroine.’”
“She saw you as her goal and you became her role model. Killing two birds with one stone, right?”
“But in fact, I became more and more confused.”
“Senior sister, in my opinion, you are overthinking the problem. You are her older sister. If you have anything to say, the best way is to directly express it. If you hide what you want to say, with Nalan Xinxin’s minimal intelligence, how can she guess it?”
“But I don’t know how to say it.”
“Say what you want to say. When we return, have a good chat with Nalan Xinxin. She has become your problem and you have become her psychological shadow. The two of you are too twisted.”
Victor curled his lips and slowly stood up. A meaningful light flashed in his eyes as he continued, “Senior sister, someone is coming out.”
Victor’s voice had just faded when more than ten figures flew out from the tunnel.
Without exception! Their bodies were bathed in fresh blood. Their expressions were extremely terrified as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
“What happened?”
“Monster? It’s a monster!”
That person suddenly knelt on the ground like a mad man. He pulled out the long sword at his waist and stabbed it into his chest. Following that, he used the blood from his heart that was stained with his index finger to carve a few words on the ground that Victor could not understand.
Then, the second, the third…
Even when the last person who escaped from the tunnel committed suicide, no one had any clues.
“Contact Lei Bai and ask about the situation inside.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting. Tell Lei Bao that if he is not dead, destroy the mountain. The mountain treasure is not here.”
“Yes.”
Although they did not understand why, since it was Gongye Yuyu’s words, the credibility was extremely high. It could not be helped. His reputation was just this influential.
If this sentence was said by Victor, then not only would the crowd not believe him, they would even scold him for having brain problems.
This was reality…
