When Fu Tianyu had the Linglong Pearl enter his body, suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth from the peak above them, shooting straight up to the heavens. Even though it was daytime, people within a radius of several dozen miles could still clearly see it. In this golden light, a mysterious shadow was swimming around, shocking the hearts of all who witnessed this scene.
The closest was naturally the Lu Jie Villa, where the ones chasing the old man and the stubborn fellow were. At this moment, all the people in the villa were stunned. The originally already returned to the villa, Leng Lu Tian, who was the victim of the old man's deception of the Linglong Pearl, looked at the golden light on the high mountain and suddenly realized that the light was rising from the place where he had returned. And the guards of the Lu Jie Villa, who remained above the cave where the old man and his companions were located, directly saw this astonishing scene at the foot of the mountain.
"There is treasure." All those who witnessed this scene exclaimed in their hearts.
The villa's owner, Leng Aotian, was the first to react, "Quick, come with me to see it."
With a loud shout, Leng Aotian's figure vanished in the villa. Immediately, all those with some strength in the villa followed him. Leng Lu Tian had already been heading back.
In various towns near the Lu Jie Villa, there were no shortage of practitioners passing through. This sudden rising light attracted everyone. Immediately, everyone headed in the direction of the light, even the ordinary people were like this. Such a miraculous phenomenon that many people had never seen in their entire lives, but everyone knew that a natural anomaly must have precious treasures.
"Come here, immediately report to the military administration of Liangzhou quickly on horseback. Let General Huo Tingyu send someone to support. This strange phenomenon must have something related to the state's precious treasures. It cannot be allowed to be taken by others. Everyone immediately gather troops and follow me."
In the city of Mo Yue, which was several tens of miles away from the Lu Jie Villa, the city defense general Gao Feng shouted loudly, "This is within the territory of the Yue Kingdom. Although the Yue Kingdom has only been established for a hundred years, it has already controlled the four major states of Qing, Bing, Liang, and Youzhou, belonging to a new emerging national power."
"Yes, sir." The deputy general did not dare to be negligent and immediately prepared. As the sky showed an anomaly, such things had been recorded before. Mildly, it could make the treasure seekers rule the world, severely, it could cause the country to be devastated and reduced to ashes. No one dared to ignore it.
"Quick, send a messenger by pigeon to report the situation here to the headquarters." In an ordinary courtyard, a middle-aged man instructed a young man, and then vanished in an instant.
"Immediately notify the valley. Please the valley master to come immediately with people." In a dilapidated temple, a sinister voice suddenly sounded when the golden light flashed. This dilapidated temple suddenly had a cold wind, and in this bright day, it seemed extremely gloomy.
All at once, all those who witnessed this miraculous scene and the forces involved sent out messages. Countless pigeons and horses, various means of communication, rushed out from within the radius of several dozen miles of the Lu Jie Villa. If someone looked from high up, they would definitely find that this area, like a huge stone dropped into a lake, had caused countless ripples.
After the golden light in the sky disappeared into the top of the mountain peak, this was also when the Linglong Pearl had finished purifying Fu Tianyu's essence.
In the cave, the old man and the stubborn fellow had no idea that an anomaly had appeared outside. After Fu Tianyu fainted, the cave began to collapse, the entire mountain seemed to be about to shake.
"Quick, the stubborn fellow, hurry and carry your disciple, let's leave here." The old man took a few steps and ran to the other side of the cave, where there was already an opening, seemingly a tunnel going down, at this time, the cave was about to collapse, even underground, they also had to crawl.
The stubborn fellow said nothing and went to carry Fu Tianyu, but immediately was by the stench on Fu Tianyu's body.
"Master, this disciple's smell is too strong. I, vomit." Tie Lingzi suddenly began to vomit.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to be buried alive, hurry up!" The old man suddenly took out another small bead from his pocket. This was a genuine night pearl, several sizes smaller than the previous Linglong bead. The old man was now extremely regretful. Why did he foolishly show off by taking out the Linglong bead to illuminate the way?
Tie Lingzi saw that the cave was really about to collapse. The stone above his head was already falling down. He immediately tore open his sleeve, plugged his two nostrils, and hugged Fu Tianyu, following behind the old man.
The old man staggered forward, quickly pinching his nose, and quickly descended the opened cave. This cave was much narrower and slicker than the one they had entered earlier. The old man almost slid down.
Tie Lingzi was big in size and carrying someone, so it was very difficult for him to walk here.
Shortly after they had just descended into this cave, the entire cave collapsed. A huge rock sealed off the cave behind them. With a series of shakes, it finally settled down. The old man sighed in relief. Now he had the time to look at the cave he was in now.
Confused, the old man widened his eyes because he noticed that the cave where the three of them were now was not at all like a natural formation. It looked more like a cave dug out by reptile animals.
Because around this cave were slippery surfaces and there was a pungent smell.
"Tai Lingzi, be careful. There might be monsters here," the old man said with a brave face. Now the rear path was blocked, and they had no choice but to escape along this cave. However, this cave went downwards all the way, and they didn't know how long it would go deep underground.
At this moment, outside, it was very noisy. The people of Laijian Mountain had recently surrounded the entire mountain, and Cold Aotian and others were at the top of the mountain, carefully searching. When they arrived, the golden light had not yet completely dissipated. The power contained in the golden light made it impossible for them to reach the top. They only came up here when the golden light disappeared at the top of the mountain. However, immediately after that, the mountain bottom shook violently. Fortunately, it didn't collapse. But in a place at the foot of the mountain, it unexpectedly sank ten meters. And there, the people from Laijian Mountain who had stayed here had already received orders to search. At this time, who had the time to pay attention to the old man and Tie Lingzi, these two liars?
Now, below the entire mountain range has been occupied by their people, conducting searches, but so far no discoveries have been made. Not even a single cave has been found, let alone anything more significant.
Shortly after, people from other surrounding towns also arrived. There are six towns around the Liao Jian Villa, and all the capable people from these towns came to join in the fun. They had already formed a standoff with the guards stationed at the foot of the mountain by the Liao Jian Villa.
"All must stay within this area. Any who cross this line will be executed without mercy." As the dominant force here, the Liao Jian Villa has many guards. They were well aware of the seriousness of the situation and all showed extreme toughness. Their weapons were already in their hands, and they seemed ready to start fighting immediately.
"Such a great display of power! What can the Liao Jian Villa do? As long as you dare to act, today we will destroy you." Those who came were not cowards either, and many of them were key figures from powerful factions. Knowing that there were treasures above, who would care? In the voice of a tall young man, those who came later did not care about the Liao Jian Villa. At this point, the only thing that mattered was obtaining the precious treasures. The conflict between the two sides soon broke out.
"The Lord of the Villa, fighting has started below. Our villa's disciples cannot hold back and are about to lose control." Zhang Tianye, the chief of the Liao Jian Villa, hurriedly came over. This time, he was the one setting up defenses below. However, with this mountain range being so wide, with the manpower of the Liao Jian Villa, and having to search for people as well, how could they manage to handle it?
Leng Aotian looked down from the top of the mountain and saw countless people rushing from all directions. Immediately, his scalp felt numb. Usually, no one dared to have any intentions towards his Liao Jian Villa. However, under the temptation of the soaring golden light, perhaps there were quite a few desperate people.
"The six guardians, immediately go and warn them. If they dare to cause trouble within my Liao Jian Villa territory again, kill them." Leng Aotian was also a decisive person and immediately gave the order.
"Yes, Lord of the Villa." The six elderly men in their fifties and sixties immediately obeyed the order. However, in their hearts, they couldn't help but groan. The current situation at the foot of the mountain was not something that could be solved by killing.
The Liao Jian Villa was strong, but it couldn't afford to offend the public's anger. However, they knew that if they didn't take decisive measures now, it wouldn't work.
Six figures flew down to the foot of the mountain. The six of them released all their. The six elders were all level six martial artists and could also have a deterrent effect.
"Everyone stop." The senior elder Leng Fuyin shouted loudly, with several palms in his hand, separating the forces of both sides. The disciples of the Liao Jian Villa quickly retreated behind him.
"Everyone, why did you come to my Liao Jian Villa to cause trouble? I believe my Liao Jian Villa has no grudges against you. Are you crossing the line too far?" Leng Fuyin's voice rang out throughout the mountain range, using the method of sound transmission over a thousand miles. It truly shook for several miles.
The people involved in the conflicts were immediately separated by the six elders. Those who came from all directions were without any organization, scattered in a mess, and their strength was not impressive. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and it wasn't the time for the experts from various factions to come.
"Senior Leng, there are treasures here. Everyone saw it. All the treasures in the world are obtained by everyone, and it's not something that your Liao Jian Villa can monopolize alone. I advise you not to get into trouble." A middle-aged man with a scholar's appearance stepped forward, holding a bamboo fan in his hand, and said coldly.
Leng Fuyin's face immediately changed. The words of the scholar had pushed the Liao Jian Villa into an unfavorable position.
"Xiao Yu Scholar Feng Xiao Yu, I have heard of your great reputation. However, this is my Liao Jian Villa's territory. What's going on here seems not for you to interfere?" Leng Fuyin stared at Xiao Yu Scholar Feng Xiao Yu. Although he had always been solitary, he was very difficult to deal with. Now, there were at least several hundred people gathered here, and it was truly difficult to handle.
"Haha, so it seems that Lanzhou is within the territory of the Disengaged Kingdom. Then this place should be taken over by my army. All the troops, listen to the order, seal the mountain. Anyone obstructing will be executed without mercy." Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar, and then countless troops appeared on another hill. It was the army of Mo Yue City that had arrived.
No matter how powerful the Leijian Mountain Villa was, it could never compare with the imperial court. But at this moment, Cold Wind Rain had no fear at all.
"General Peak, you can't just join in this mess, can you?" Cold Wind Rain said coldly. The Leijian Mountain Villa had been a part of the forces for hundreds of years, but it had never encountered any situation where the military intervened. Now, it was truly a difficult situation.
"This is my territory of the Disputed Lands, and it should be decided by my imperial court. Everyone must leave this place immediately. Otherwise, they will be punished for a capital crime," General Peak shouted sternly. Although he was a military officer, Peak's strength was not weaker than Cold Wind Rain. Moreover, he had thousands of elite troops under his command, and there were also reinforcements arriving later. How could he let this place go without a fight?
