Soon after the Gong Family went in, another group appeared.

Leading them was Jian Chen of the Divine Sword Sect.

In Jian Chen's hand was a magic artifact, from which a faint red glow emanated.

The direction of the red glow pointed exactly here.

Jian Chen approached the silver light gate and flashed a smug smile.

"No doubt about it, the Gong Family went in through here."

"This is the entrance to the secret treasure."

An elder behind Jian Chen chuckled:

"Young Sect Leader, you're wise as always. You knew the Gong Family had a way to get in, so you laid groundwork early, followed them in secret, and found the entrance without a hitch."

Jian Chen smiled faintly:

"It was just a small trick."

However, he then narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"But my Spirit Communication Magical Artifact detects that the Gong Family didn't have the ancient map to the secret treasure; they actually went in with someone named Yu Fengtian."

"Who is this Yu Fengtian?"

Upon hearing this, those behind Jian Chen exchanged puzzled looks, completely clueless about the person.

Jian Chen waved his hand.

"Forget it."

"Let's head in first. If we encounter this person later, just pay extra attention."

With that, Jian Chen entered the light gate first.

Other members of the Divine Sword Sect followed closely behind, rushing to enter.

...

That day, in various regions of Tu Bai Mountain, no less than five entrances were opened, and forces from all sides silently sneaked in.

Only one entrance wasn't within the Tu Bai Mountain area.

Black City is one of the three major cities in the northeastern Dragon Country, surrounding Tu Bai Mountain.

The Zhang Family, one of the three great families, is the top family power in Black City.

At this moment, in a Zhang Family ancestral land.

Here too, an entrance to the secret treasure was opened.

In front of the entrance, the head of the Zhang Family was leading direct lineage family members, preparing to enter.

To the outside world, the Zhang Family is the oldest and most inscrutable of the three northeastern families.

However, only the Zhang Family themselves know that their lineage has long been broken.

Over the years, the prestige of the Zhang Family has gradually begun to decline.

If they don't gain something significant in the secret treasure this time, the Zhang Family may soon be annexed by the other two families.

It might even be overtaken by forces less than theirs.

The Zhang Family head looked at the young talents chosen to enter the secret treasure with a heavy expression.

"You are the future of the Zhang Family. The first thing you must do in the secret treasure is to ensure your own safety."

"Then, find a way to seize the treasures and inheritance inside..."

While the Zhang Family head was speaking, a powerful aura suddenly descended.

"Zhang Clan Leader, long time no see."

With the sound of the voice, four figures appeared above the Zhang Family ancestral land.

The Zhang Family head looked up, his face turning somewhat grim.

"Gu Cangchu!"

"What are you doing here?"

The newcomers were Gu Cangchu and three other peak Emperor Realm experts from the Gu Family.

Gu Cangchu chuckled, glancing at the silver entrance above the Zhang Family ancestral land, and said:

"I was just passing through your Zhang Family territory while tracking the beast that killed my son when I sensed a strong spatial disturbance here."

"I was worried that your Zhang Family might be in trouble, so I thought I'd come lend a hand, but it seems..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this entrance leads to the secret treasure, right?"

"It appears your Zhang Family has been quietly putting in effort."

The Zhang Family head's eyes briefly revealed a hint of displeasure.

However, he forced himself to remain calm.

"Just a stroke of luck, acquired by chance."

Gu Cangchu chuckled.

"We've been searching for that brat for two days and haven't found him; he must have gone in already."

"We were just troubled about how to get in ourselves; why don't we borrow your path, Zhang Clan Leader, and let us go in first?"

Gu Cangchu's words, although phrased as a request, were thick with command.

There was no helping it; of the three northeastern families, the Gu Family was the strongest.

The Zhang Clan Leader's face turned very grim, but he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

Gu Cangchu laughed lightly.

"Then I thank you, Zhang Clan Leader."

"Let's go."

Saying that, the four of them entered the silver light gate first.

After Gu Cangchu and the others went in, the Zhang Family head's face became extremely gloomy. He said sternly:

"Once you all enter, be cautious of the Gu Family people."

"Alright, the entrance has been open for too long, it might attract others; you better get in quickly."

"Yes, Family Head!"

The Zhang Family members promptly entered the silver light gate.

Afterward, the Zhang Family head activated a barrier, slowly closing the silver light gate.

...

Meanwhile, in another mysterious place filled with evil qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures appeared there one after the other.

These two were Ming He, Sect Master of the Yin Ming Sect, and Wu Ji, Sect Master of the Huntian Martial Sect.

Wu Ji looked at the surroundings and said:

"This should be a hidden entrance to the secret treasure."

"Unfortunately, the Yin Sha Qi here is too heavy for me to enter."

"Brother Ming He, this environment is your specialty; I'm sure you have a way in."

Ming He's eyes gleamed with brilliance.

"Naturally."

"Brother Wu Ji, you say you can't enter, but it's just because the Yin Sha Qi exerts too much suppression on you, reducing your power, isn't it?"

"However, you might be worrying too much. That Zhou Yu is only at the Third Grade King Realm; even if your cultivation is heavily suppressed, he's still not your match."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji chuckled.

"Forget it, I'll guard the outside; it's enough to have you inside."

"That kid has many tricks; if he escapes, I can still catch him outside."

Ming He sneered inwardly at these words.

This Wu Ji wasn't worried about Zhou Yu escaping.

He didn't trust Ming He!

But that was fine; with Wu Ji outside, Ming He could enter alone, kill Zhou Yu, and take the Chaos Heavenly Pearl for himself!

Thinking this, Ming He nodded and smiled.

"Brother Wu Ji, you're right."

"In that case, let's support each other from inside and out; I'll go in first."

With that, Ming He's figure flickered and disappeared into the Yin Sha Qi.

Shortly after Ming He disappeared, a dark shadow appeared silently.

This person was Jian Xu, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect.

"Has Ming He gone in?"

Wu Ji chuckled:

"Yes, he has."

"And he seemed quite pleased."

"He probably thinks he can have the Chaos Heavenly Pearl all to himself."

Jian Xu laughed heartily.

"That fool, his mind can only calculate up to this point."

"We can just sit here and benefit from their conflict."

Wu Ji also wore a crafty smile and nodded.
