Chapter Ten: The Treasure Land
"Could it be? The treasure's location is actually there?!"
Suddenly, one of the seven elders with white hair and beard changed his face, exclaimed in surprise, as if he had thought of an unthinkable place, looking extremely surprised.
"Wu Changlao, have you thought of being there?" The old man's exclamation attracted the attention of several people, and Xian Wuxie asked in a low voice.
"The patriarch, I don't know if the treasure is within the borders of Qin State. If it is in Qin State, it's an extremely hot place, but only the Flame Mountain Range of the Fire Demon Palace is particularly noticeable!" The old man called 'Wu Changlao' by Jian Wuxie had a worried look on his face as he spoke.
As soon as this was said, Jian Wuxie's expression turned cold and his face stiffened, revealing the usual haughty attitude that looked down on the world.
The Flame Mountain Range is the stronghold of Huo Mo Palace, one of the three major sects in Qin State, alongside San Xiao Sword Sect. If the treasure is indeed hidden within the Flame Mountain Range, then this treasure hunt won't be as smooth sailing as expected!
"Xia Qi, is the treasure hidden within the borders of Qin State?" At this moment, Jian Wu Xie's heart even hoped to hear Xia Qi say that the treasure was not in Qin State, although it would take a long time to rush there, but at least they wouldn't encounter a behemoth like Huo Mo Palace!
Hearing the conversation of a few people, Xia Qi's heart had already accelerated its beating unconsciously!
Flame Mountain Range, Flame Mountain, Flame Devil Palace!
What a great opportunity!
In an instant, Xia Qi heard the Flame Mountain Range and immediately thought of where the fake treasure was hidden in Qin State. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be under the Flame Mountain deep within the Flame Mountain Range!
Not only were there countless dangers of fake treasure lands, but it was also possible to provoke the Fire Demon Palace and other powerful forces to join in. Xia Qi's heart suddenly became hot with excitement!
This is absolutely a good opportunity! If it can shock Huo Mo Palace, it would be even better. Stirring up this pool of water, Xia Qi, who has only cultivated to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining stage, will have a chance to escape!
"Master, upon hearing Wu Changsheng mention the Flame Mountain Range, I recall where the treasure is hidden!" Xia Qi suppressed the burning thought in his heart and tried to regain composure as he spoke to Jian Wuxie.
"What? You've remembered where the treasure is hidden? Tell me quickly! Where is it?"
Jian Wuxie and the seven elders were all abnormally excited, Jian Wuxie even directly grabbed Xia Qi's arm, almost dislocating both of Xia Qi's arms, and loudly asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, the treasure is located at the bottom of Huoyan Mountain in the depths of Qin State's Huoyan Mountains. The treasure is covered by a massive array and to enter the treasure chamber, one needs immense power, otherwise it's impossible!" Xia Qi said in a low voice.
"Flaming Mountains!"
Jian Wu Xie and the seven elders' faces changed again!
"Little doll, can you confirm that you didn't make a mistake?" The hunchbacked old woman with the crutch spoke for the first time, her eyes, hidden in her wrinkled face like orange peel, seemed to flicker with a faint, eerie glow, and her hoarse, ominous voice sent chills down one's spine, making one's skin crawl!
"This... I don't dare to guarantee it 100%, but eight or nine out of ten, if we can see the Flame Mountain, I think I can definitely confirm whether it's a treasure trove or not!" Xia Qi hesitated for a moment before saying firmly.
"Alright! Since that's the case, I'll take you to Flame Mountain and let you see for yourself whether it's a place where treasures are hidden!" Upon hearing Xia Qi's words, Jian Wuxie's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, as if he had made up his mind.
"This... Sect Master, Huoyan Mountain is the back mountain of Huomoyuan, it has always been a place for some low-ranking cultivators of Huomoyuan to practice and hone their skills. There may even be some old immortals who are in seclusion there. If the treasure is indeed there, if we rashly go, I'm afraid we'll be discovered by Huomoyuan!" The old woman heard Jian Wuxie's words, seemingly wanting to stop him, showing great apprehension towards Huomoyuan.
"Hmph! What about the rear mountain of Huo Mo Palace? I, along with you seven, will go together. Are we still afraid that Huo Mo Palace won't be enough?" Xian Wu Xie coldly hummed and said.
"Master, don't be impulsive! The treasure can be planned slowly, but if we rush there now, even if we're not afraid of the Fire Demon Palace, we'll definitely expose our tracks. If the Fire Demon Palace notices something, that would be a loss!" Wu Changlao also spoke up to advise Jian Wuxie.
"My mind is made up, you elders don't need to persuade me anymore! And this time, I have made thorough preparations. Even if we go to the back mountain of Huo Mo Palace, we will absolutely not let them discover our tracks!" Jian Wu Xie shouted loudly, his tone unyielding.
"Hmm? The Sect Master had already made preparations, and won't be discovered by the Fire Demon Palace?" The two scantily-clad female elders spoke in unison, revealing surprised expressions. As they spoke, their ample bosoms quivered slightly in mid-air, causing one to involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva. Xia Qi didn't even dare glance in that direction.
"That's natural, to collect such treasures, I had thought of it early on. I'm afraid that when they are unearthed, the noise will be quite loud. To prevent any unexpected events, I have brought out the 'Eight Gates Locking Heaven Formation' flags from our sect. As long as we set up the 'Eight Gates Locking Heaven Formation', the area covered by it will not be able to emit even half a point of sound to the outside world. At that time, even if Fire Demon Palace's palace master is in closed-door meditation on the back mountain, he will have to die for me!" Xian Wu Xie said proudly, and at the same time, eight small flags appeared in his hand.
Eight Trigrams Small Flag, glossy black as ink, on the flag surface revealed a door after another, seemingly endless, truly amazing!
"The Eight Gates Locking Heaven Formation! The Sect Master indeed has a foolproof plan, with this top-grade formation that can isolate all sounds, even if the back mountain of Huo Mo Palace is turned upside down, Huo Mo Palace won't have the slightest perception!" The old crone's eyes shone brightly as she finally understood what Swordless Evil was relying on.
These eight flags of the Kong Tian formation were treasures passed down by the first generation ancestor when the San Xiao Sword Sect was founded, and they have a great origin. However, they don't have much use, only having the effect of isolating sound. They are a useless formation flag, but at this time, they have been put to good use!
"Alright! After obtaining the treasure, our San Xiang Sword Sect will surely dominate the Qin State's cultivation world, and even unify the entire Five Continents' cultivation world. Just like the Tian Dao Sect, let this small Fire Demon Palace be the first stepping stone for our San Xiang Sword Sect to unify the world!"
The sword had no evil intentions, and the wind was blowing, as if he had already seen the rise of the Three Xiao Sword Sect, dominating the Xianxia world. He never thought that this so-called treasure trove was just a fake treasure trove filled with killing intent!
"Let's go! All of you elders follow me, I want to see if this Fire Demon Palace, which is as famous as our Three Xiao Sword Sect, lives up to its reputation!"
Put away the array flag, the sword has no evil will, Xia Qi brings it to the sky, and the head transforms into a purple light, like a meteor, the fleeting brilliance has disappeared on the horizon, extremely fast!
Behind him, seven figures followed closely and disappeared into the horizon!
Isn't it slow enough? Why doesn't anyone collect it?
