Wudang Mountain.
Song Yuanqiao, beaming with joy, personally delivered the intelligence report to Zhang Sanfeng.
“Master, Fahai is no longer in seclusion and has appeared in Jinling!”
“Jinling?”
A smile appeared on Zhang Sanfeng’s face, but it quickly turned cold.
A tombstone stood silently before him, with the words “Chongxu” carved upon it.
He gently caressed the tombstone, then rose, giving a firm command:
“Wudang Disciples, follow me down the mountain!”
“Besiege the Demon Monk Fahai!”
“This time, I will personally take his head!”
As a Celestial, Zhang Sanfeng’s Aura was like a rainbow, his killing intent soaring to the heavens!
News of Fahai appearing, killing Yang Xuyan, and taking Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong quickly spread throughout the Jianghu, causing a huge uproar.
Fan Qinghui also swiftly learned of this.
Inside Cihang Jingzhai.
She sat at a table, holding the secret report, her face grim, her eyes burning with rage.
“He dares to be so reckless!”
“Fahai, how dare he interfere in this matter!”
She had sent Shi Feixuan to protect Shuanglong not out of a sense of justice.
Her true intention was to leverage their power to control Yang Gong's Treasure Trove and monopolize its rare treasures.
But now, Shuanglong had been intercepted.
And that person was none other than the Demon Monk she was determined to eliminate—Fahai!
How could she not be enraged?
However, there was also a hint of doubt in her heart.
Hadn’t she assigned Shi Feixuan to guard them closely?
Why was there no reaction from her when Fahai made his move?
What was this Disciple truly planning?
Even if she couldn't directly confront Fahai, she should at least have reported the situation to her.
Fan Qinghui sighed softly, ultimately unable to fathom Shi Feixuan’s thoughts.
She also knew that the strength gap between Shi Feixuan and Fahai was immense.
Not making a move was understandable.
But why didn't she even send back a message?
Her brows furrowed in deep thought, completely baffled.
Finally, she stood up and looked into the distance.
The entire affair had now caused a huge sensation.
Cihang Jingzhai’s hope of monopolizing Yang Gong's Treasure Trove was now gone.
Just attracting Shi Zhixuan’s attention was enough to cause concern.
Shi Zhixuan was the number one Master of the Demonic Dao, a Celestial expert.
Even though he hadn't appeared for many years, his cultivation was still unfathomable.
Even she wouldn't dare claim certain victory.
Since the situation was already out of control, it was better to make it even more chaotic!
“Spread the word, tell the whole world the exact location of Yang Gong's Treasure Trove.”
“Also, reveal the identities of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong; they are the key to opening the Treasure Trove.”
“Understood!”
One person took the order and left.
The news quickly spread from Cihang Jingzhai, instantly sweeping through the Jianghu.
Immediately, the Jianghu was shaken!
Yang Gong's Treasure Trove—this legendary secret hoard—had finally appeared!
It turned out to be hidden in Jinling City!
Those two previously overlooked youths were actually the keys to opening the Treasure Trove!
What were they waiting for?
Seizing people, seeking treasure, and clashing—a bloody storm was about to unfold!
In an instant, heroes rose everywhere, and various forces rushed towards Jinling.
Since the Treasure Trove was in Jinling and Shuanglong were in Fahai’s hands, whoever got them first would have a chance to control everything!
These clues, once connected, immediately made it clear to all Jianghu figures who their target should be.
Fahai!
He actually dared to make such a move!
He not only interfered in the Treasure Trove's struggle but also quietly moved ahead of everyone, firmly grasping the key to opening the Treasure Trove in his own hands!
Could Yang Gong's Treasure Trove truly be opened?
Unfortunately, precisely because of this, he also exposed his identity and whereabouts.
Six Doors and Wudang would certainly not stand idly by; they would definitely come knocking!
Furthermore, with the news about Yang Gong's Treasure Trove now spread, countless Masters from all over the Jianghu were stirring, eager to rush to Jinling, just to gain an Opportunity in this struggle!
As a result, Fahai had become almost everyone’s target!
Who knows how many eyes were closely watching his every move!
In a restaurant.
Detective Zhang was surrounded by many people.
Heroes and chivalrous figures from all corners of the Jianghu gathered around this famous Detective.
Their expressions were excited, their eyes gleaming, and their faces filled with eager anticipation and excitement for the show.
No matter where or when, watching a spectacle was always human nature.
“Detective Zhang, what do you think? Isn't Fahai’s move too risky?”
“He’s already caused enough trouble, and now he’s actively exposed his whereabouts, becoming a target for everyone. Who knows how many people are plotting against him.”
“Exactly, just three Celestial—Zhuge Zhengwo, Zhang Sanfeng, and Shi Zhixuan—are enough for him to handle!”
“With three Celestial experts bearing down, even if Shaolin Temple stepped in to protect him, it would likely be difficult to ensure his safety.”
Zhang Jinjiu spoke unhurriedly:
“Fahai’s intention in doing this, I believe, is to quickly enhance his own strength, which is why he took such a risky move.”
“After the battle at Wudang, he urgently needed to become stronger, and things in the world that could rapidly boost one’s strength are truly rare.”
“The evil emperor relic is naturally the most suitable choice.”
“His goal should be to open the Treasure Trove before everyone else and absorb the power of the relic.”
“It's just a pity that he still underestimated the situation and didn’t expect Cihang Jingzhai to release the information so quickly.”
After speaking, he picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and sighed softly:
“Fahai, after all, was a bit too hasty.”
“Once Cihang Jingzhai announced the news, he was no longer the target of a single faction, but an enemy of the entire Jianghu.”
“Everyone with an interest in Yang Gong's Treasure Trove will rush to Jinling to contend for the key.”
“This storm is no small matter; it will likely trigger a bloody conflict, even changing the entire Jianghu landscape.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the restaurant changed their expressions.
Had things become so serious?
The Jianghu was suddenly in turmoil, with heroes from all directions rushing to gather in Jinling!
Dragon Guard Villa.
In front of the pavilion, Tie Dan Shen Hou Zhu Wushi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze steady, looking at the three people before him.
“Yang Gong's Treasure Trove, Dragon Guard Villa must not miss it.”
“If we can obtain the treasures within, the strength of our Dragon Guard Villa will advance even further.”
“Tianya, Yidao, Haitang, you will depart immediately for Jinling.”
“Do everything possible to gain the upper hand in this struggle.”
“Yes!”
The three secret agents immediately agreed and, leading their subordinates, set off at once for Jinling!
Inside the Heavenly Cloud Hall.
Seated on the throne above was a burly man with an Aura like a mountain, his long hair flowing, and his internal Qi and blood roaring like a fierce tiger!
He was the Dominator of Heavenly Cloud Hall—Xiongba!
At this moment, his eyes showed a hint of greed.
“Yang Gong's Treasure Trove…”
“If I can seize its secrets, my grand ambition will be within reach!”
“Fengyun!”
Before his voice faded, Xiongba roared suddenly.
From below the steps of the hall, two tall and heroic figures emerged.
They were two of Xiongba’s three great Disciples—Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun!
“You two will personally lead a team to Jinling, and you must seize a share of the Opportunity from Yang Gong's Treasure Trove!”
“Understood!”
Fengyun replied in unison.
Watching their retreating figures, Xiongba’s face showed satisfaction.
He had originally intended to go on this Treasure Trove trip himself.
