Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 284 Hell Has No Gates, You Go There Yourself

The moonlight shimmered, and the ground was covered in silver frost.

Madam Zhen and Fang Yeyu, along with many experts from beyond the Great Wall, arrived outside the courtyard.

Guang Yingcheng, known as "the rugged man and the pretty woman," and Ya Hanqing stood on either side, while Hua Zha'ao, the "Purple-Eyed Demon Lord" with a full head of silver hair and purple eyes, stood beside them. Shan Chayue, known as "Bronze Venerable," Zhu Sou, Nian Liandan's junior brother "Cold Staff," Qingzang Si Mi, Ying Fei, and others followed closely behind.

Xuan Yuanzi followed and pointed at the red wall, saying, "My lords, the three villains and that half-Taoist have disappeared here and haven't come out for several hours!"

Madam Zhen chuckled and said, "Ye Yu, I never expected the treasure to be hidden in a commoner's house."

“Yes, the late emperor was very thoughtful,” Fang Yeyu said calmly. “Let’s follow him.”

"Wait a minute!" Madam Zhen waved her hand.

Fang Yeyu's expression changed, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Madam Zhen said, "I have had some oil and gunpowder prepared and set up."

Fang Yeyu smiled and said softly, "Madam Zhen is indeed very thoughtful!"

The two men exchanged a smile, then led the group over the wall and into the abandoned courtyard.

The two mounds of earth were immediately visible. After the group went over, they saw two stone doors that had been opened.

Hua Zha'ao said in a deep voice, "It seems that the three villains have found the entrance to the treasure and are probably moving the treasure now!"

These words caused a stir among everyone in the courtyard.

Hua Zha'ao continued, "Madam Zhen, how about we stand guard at the cave entrance and wait for them to come out, then play whack-a-mole?"

Madam Zhen smiled and said, "What Elder Hua said is exactly what I think!"

Everyone else agreed, thinking it was a good method.

At that time, with the three villains above and below them, even if the three villains have high martial arts skills, they will be like turtles in a jar, and we can do whatever we want with them!

"wrong!"

Fang Yeyu also suddenly waved his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

He bent down and brushed the ground. Then a wisp of eerie blue light flashed and disappeared.

"What is that?" Hanazha Ao asked, his eyes wide with surprise. He saw that it was a thin blue thread, but he didn't know what it was.

“There are many swords in the world that can shoot out sword energy.” Fang Yeyu straightened up, his face cold. “Only that one sword can turn the blade into sword threads.”

"The divine sword captures the dragon!" Madam Zhen blurted out.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and unease arose in their hearts.

"What Ye Yu means?" The "Cold Staff" Bamboo Elder, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Did the White-Clad Sword God arrange the divine sword here in advance?"

"Yoha wasn't sure, but she felt something was off."

Fang Yeyu twirled his fingers, puzzled. "Given Ren Shaoyang's ruthless nature, if it were the Dragon-Capturing Sword Silk, my fingers would be gone by now. But those blue threads, though sharp, didn't possess the killing intent of the Dragon-Capturing Sword; instead, they seemed more like a warning."

After listening to Fang Yeyu's words, Madam Zhen pondered in silence for a moment, then said decisively, "Let's go down!"

Hanafuda Ao was taken aback and asked, "Isn't this a bit too risky?"

Ying Fei, who was handsome and carried two hooks, laughed and said, "Old Hua, this is obviously a warning object for Ren Shaoyang. We have already alerted them. Besides, they have been inside for so long, so they must have destroyed the underground palace's mechanisms. If we set up oil and gunpowder in the underground palace, even if we encounter the three villains, we can make them hesitate to act. It's a win-win situation."

"Good!" Fang Yeyu waved his hand and said loudly, "Ying Fei is absolutely right. How can we catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den? The Yuan Emperor's treasure belongs to our Mongol warriors. How can it fall into the hands of the Central Plains barbarians?" After saying that, he took the lead, threw down the rope, and jumped into the cave.

The others nodded and followed suit, jumping down as well.

The group descended into the cave and discovered the location of a distant cavern. When they shone their torches on it, they saw that it was pitch black and stretched for a great distance.

Madam Zhen shouted, "Arrange the kerosene and gunpowder! Beware of a sneak attack!"

"Yes!"

His subordinates responded loudly and quickly went to set up around the cave.

Once the setup was complete, they quickly headed into the cave.

Upon arriving at the spacious area filled with reliefs, Fang Yeyu suddenly stopped and said, "Something's strange here."

Yingfei asked, "What's so strange?"

Fang Yeyu said, "I just counted. We've walked 365 steps here, but after walking so far, we still haven't found any treasure? Besides, these carvings took a lot of manpower and effort, yet they're placed in a place where there's no sunlight. It's really inexplicable."

Madam Zhen looked around and said, "The Yaksha King of the Snow Region's Tantric sect is a deity who controls wealth. Placing him here is quite fitting."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yeyu frowned and said, "I feel a vague unease in my heart."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a soft, low sound coming from deep within the passageway, like footsteps.

"who?!"

Hua Zha'ao shouted, and in an instant, a figure flashed through the passageway and disappeared. This person's movements were incredibly fast, like a demon or a ghost.

"Die!" shouted the "Bronze Venerable" Shan Chayue, snapping off a piece of stone and throwing it out.

A loud "bang" echoed, indicating immense force; the object flew extremely far. Yet, it failed to hit anyone.

"Was that a person or a ghost?" Yingfei scratched his head, somewhat uncertain. "It was incredibly fast. What was that thing?"

Fang Yeyu and he had been friends for many years, and Fang Yeyu always respected him. Upon hearing this, Fang Yeyu replied, "His figure seems somewhat familiar."

Before Yingfei could finish speaking, a series of strange noises and clattering sounds came from behind the shrine.

"not good!"

Hua Zha'ao and Zhu Sou both cried out in surprise. As soon as they uttered their cries, the stone walls on both sides split open, revealing four small holes.
shhhhhh!
Countless crossbow bolts shot out from the hole, numerous and dense, extremely fierce.

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Yeyu knew the danger was extreme, so he quickly grabbed Madam Zhen's hand and jumped out. Before he even landed, the lamps were extinguished, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

In the darkness, a constant whooshing sound echoed as the light from the arrowheads, tinged with blood, darted back and forth.

The screams of his men filled the air, along with cries of fleeing, collapsing, and pleading for help. At the same time, the clanging sounds of Shan Chayue wielding his bronze figure and Zhu Sou swinging his iron staff, sending arrows flying in all directions, could be heard continuously.

They shot for about half a cup of tea's time before slowly stopping.

The cave was deathly silent, then a flash of light, and the lamps were relit.

Fang Yeyu, holding a tinderbox, and Madam Zhen, their faces ashen and eyes blazing with fury, glared fiercely at each other.

The many experts present were unharmed, at most with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, looking somewhat disheveled.

However, most of the men he brought were riddled with arrows, suffering heavy casualties.

Just then, Hua Zha'ao suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"

Then a sharp "whoosh" of a sword rang out, followed by a series of whooshing sounds. In the dim light of the candles in everyone's hands, the shadows appeared menacing and grotesque, like ghosts, which was extremely frightening.

"Ah~!"

"what!"

"Help me."

Before anyone could react, three screams were heard, from two men and one woman.

Immediately afterwards, blood rushed up to the top of the cave and dripped down along the cracks in the wall, wetting the back of everyone's necks.

Terrified, they scattered and fled, bracing themselves against the wall, where they discovered three half-corpses standing upright.

Upon closer inspection, Madam Zhen discovered that the three were none other than the "rugged man and beautiful woman" Guang Yingcheng, He Yahanqing, and Xuan Yuanzi. These three had somehow been cut in half at the waist, their lower bodies standing upright while their upper bodies lay folded on the floor, their three pairs of eyes staring unblinkingly at the dome.

Their blood sprayed extremely high, splattering a large area of ​​blood all over the walls and ceiling, leaving everyone covered in blood and looking extremely disheveled.

Hanazha Ao was shocked and filled with hatred. He immediately roared, "Damn it, what kind of hero is it to use a sneak attack? Come out here, let's have a real fight!"

The roar shook the space, and rubble and dust fell in a flurry.

Suddenly, a white light flashed before everyone's eyes, and the back of a man in white robes appeared.

He held a glass lamp in one hand, the flame flickering and shimmering with a bright yellow light, making his silhouette appear as brilliant as gold.

The contrast between the magnificent figure before them and the bloody scene in the arena was bizarre and instilled a sense of dread in everyone.

As Yingfei and the others looked at the man's proud and aloof figure, they felt a chill run down their spines, thinking, "Damn, this place is so eerie. How did such a ghostly creature appear?"

Just then, Fang Yeyu gritted his teeth and said, "Ren Shaoyang! What are you doing, playing tricks on me?!"

The man did not reply; he simply looked down at the glass cup in his hand, remaining silent.

Ying Fei spat and said fiercely, "Damn it, what a pretentious guy! I'll chop you up!" With that, he had already drawn the Soul-Severing Double Hooks from his back, and with one above and one below, he slashed forward in a cross shape.

Hanazha Ao opened his arms wide, and his palms instantly swelled to almost half their original size, appearing from the side to grab Hanazha Ao's ribs.

They were fast, but the swords were even faster. With two crisp clangs, two streaks of blue light shot out and instantly arrived beside Ying Fei and Hua Zha Ao.

A flash of blood appeared, and a sword light cleaved Yingfei and Shuanggou in two. The other sword suddenly accelerated, and amidst Huazha'ao's terrified scream, it pierced his right eye with a thud, and his brains flowed out along the blade.

The scene at this moment was even more horrifying.

Ren Shaoyang still had his back to the crowd. Behind him, one sword blade stretched out like a snake, while the other lifted up Hua Zha'ao's corpse, making him look extremely bizarre.

Madam Zhen was filled with horror, and said in a trembling voice, "This is the Divine Sword that Captures the Dragon?"

Fang Yeyu and the others were both shocked and furious, and hurriedly retreated.

Ren Shaoyang turned around, dressed in a magnificent white robe, his handsome face serene and divine.

He carried the glass cup in one hand and walked slowly over.

As he walked over, the sword trembled, and with a "whoosh," Hua Zha'ao's corpse turned into a shower of blood, scattering across the ground.

In an instant, the golden firelight and the blood-red light illuminated the white-robed face, making it appear and disappear.

Like a devil.
