This was Duan Jianhong's plan. In his mind, the threat that the Northern and Southern Dynasties posed to Tianjian Gate was a great opportunity for Tianjian Gate to dominate the Qi Province.
"Sect Chief, if we really surrender to them, it will affect the reputation of Tianjian Gate."
A respectable Sect Elder said with a frown on his face.
"Reputation? This is a world where strength is everything, and heroes are only judged by their failures. As long as we can eliminate the three big sects and rule the entire Qi Province, no one will care about what you've done before. At that point of time, we will be the overlords of the Qi Province, and we might even be able to attract the attention of the Martial Saint Dynasty. "
Duan Jianhong's eyes lit up.
"What Sect Chief said is correct, this is a great opportunity for Tianjian Gate. If we miss it, we won't be able to come back again. Each of the four big sects in the Qi Province has a strong foundation, and if we want to eliminate one of them, we will have to pay a heavy price, and the other sects will take this opportunity to reap the benefits. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one will start a war. This is also the reason why the situation in the Qi Province can't be changed. If the Northern and Southern Dynasties want to change the situation and rule the entire Qi Province, it won't be an easy task. If the Burning Sky Pavilion, the Black Sect, and the Valley of Happiness are both injured, Tianjian Gate will be the biggest winner. Therefore, temporarily surrendering to the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Burning Sky Pavilion is a good choice."
Someone said. He was impressed by Duan Jianhong's decision.
"If that's the case, although we've temporarily lost the reputation of Tianjian Gate, this is indeed a rare opportunity for us, Tianjian Gate."
Many people started nodding their heads. They felt that Duan Jianhong's plan was reasonable. By doing this, not only could they preserve the strength of Tianjian Gate, they could also create a great opportunity for Tianjian Gate. Most importantly, Tianjian Gate couldn't be the first to fight with the Burning Sky Pavilion. If that happened, the Black Sect would be the one to benefit.
"However, if the Black Sect and the Valley of Happiness choose to surrender to the Northern and Southern Dynasties as well, doesn't that mean our plan will fail?"
An elder said worriedly.
Daoist Black will never surrender to the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Burning Sky Pavilion. There will definitely be a war between them. All the people from the Valley of Happiness carry an evil aura, so it's not too much to call them evil. The Valley of Happiness's Valley Chief, Granny Feng, is an independent person, she will never let anyone control her. Therefore, the Valley of Happiness will never surrender to them. After we surrender to them, Granny Feng and Daoist Black will definitely despise and look down on me from the bottom of their hearts. But, that's not a big deal. I, Duan Jianhong, have a great plan, I won't fight because of personal feelings. "
Duan Jianhong had a cold smile on his face. His wisdom was much higher than his height. He could clearly see the situation of the entire Qi Province, and he also had a thorough understanding of his enemies. Only a man like this could live longer.
…
In the center of Inferno City, there was a towering black palace. The palace was surrounded by layers of fog, and it gave off an ancient aura. Under Xuan Ye's lead, the group entered the palace.
"This is the center of Inferno City. Within the circumference of a hundred miles, besides me, no one dares come here unless there's a trade fair. But now, all the warriors in Inferno City have been robbed by Brother Jiang, so there's no need to hold the trade fair anymore."
Xuan Ye said with a smile on his face. Now that he had met Wu Jiu, his seven years of hard work had finally paid off, he felt really happy and relaxed.
"Let's get back to the topic. Xuan Ye, do you know if there are any treasures in the center of Inferno City?"
Wu Jiu asked.
"I'm sure there are treasures in Inferno City that can restrain those demons and devils. If not, Inferno City would have been destroyed long ago. But, I've been here for seven years, and I've never seen anything like it."
Xuan Ye said with a frown on his face.
"The treasure is in this palace, I can sense it."
Da Huang Dog's ears pricked up as he said.
Wu Jiu and Xuan Ye threw their gazes at Da Huang Dog at the same time. Surprised expressions emerged on their faces. Although this dog was amazing, he was only an Early Divine Core warrior. Even Combat Soul warriors like them couldn't sense the aura of the treasure, so how could Da Huang Dog sense it?
"Da Huang has a unique treasure hunting ability. The more precious the treasure is, the clearer he can sense it. Since he can sense it, I'm sure the treasure is in this palace."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. The reason he came back was to find the treasure. Only by finding the treasure would he be able to deal with the Earth Devil.
"Da Huang, can you sense where the treasure is?"
Jiang Chen turned to Da Huang Dog and asked.
"Its aura is very weak, let me sense it again."
After saying that, Da Huang Dog closed his eyes. The others held their breaths, not daring to say anything. Three minutes later, Da Huang Dog suddenly opened his eyes and threw his glance into the palace.
"It's right there!"
Under Da Huang Dog's lead, the group walked forward and arrived in front of an ordinary-looking wall.
"This is just an ordinary wall, there's nothing special about it."
Guan Yiyun said.
"Little Chenzi, scrape away the rocks on the outside."
Da Huang Dog said.
Jiang Chen took out the Bloodthirsty Sword and casually swung it, cutting away the rocks on the outside of the wall. An ancient stone door appeared in front of his eyes.
"There's a hidden door behind the wall, why didn't I notice it?"
Xuan Ye widened his eyes in shock.
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes. It was normal that Xuan Ye didn't notice it, it would be strange if he did. The door was hidden behind the wall, and even Jiang Chen, the greatest Saint underneath the heavens, wouldn't notice it. Only someone like Da Huang Dog who could sense treasures would be able to sense it.
"There's a carving on the stone door, it looks like a dragon."
Tian Yishan said.
Everyone's eyes landed on the stone door. A blood dragon was carved on it. It was an incomparably valiant dragon. Although no one knew how long it had been carved on the door, it still gave people a feeling that it was alive. The blood dragon leaned forward, opened its mouth, raised its head and roared into the sky.
The blood dragon's posture was wild and arrogant, as if it was the noblest existence in the world.
"The legendary true dragon only exists in a higher plane. In Saint Origin World, dragons are just a legend. I heard that a long time ago, there was a powerful flood dragon that cultivated and became a true dragon, but that's all."
Wu Jiu said. The others couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen. They had all seen Jiang Chen perform the True Dragon Palm before. The dragon claw that was formed looked like a real dragon, it was very mystical.
"Why is there a carving of a dragon here?"
Da Huang Dog couldn't understand. He had the bloodline of a dragon horse that had been passed down since ancient times, his body contained the essence of a dragon.
"Let's not worry about that for now. The treasure should be behind this stone door. Open it."
Wu Jiu said.
"Let me do it."
Guan Yiyun took a step forward and pressed both his hands on the stone door. He used all his strength to push but realized that the stone door didn't move at all.
"What a heavy stone door. I can't even open it with my strength. It seems like I have to use my essence force."
Guan Yiyun's face was filled with shock. He immediately circulated his essence force and a bright light shone on his palms as he rushed towards the stone door.
Ka ka!
The stone door that hadn't been opened for god knows how long finally gave out a ka ka sound. But with Guan Yiyun's strength, he could only make the stone door give out a ka ka sound. When Guan Yiyun was about to use more strength, a blood colored light suddenly shot out from the stone door.
Peng! Ah!
Guan Yiyun let out a scream and his entire body was sent flying. Jiang Chen reacted quickly and stopped Guan Yiyun.
Wah!
Guan Yiyun coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his body began to sway.
"What a powerful blood light."
Guan Yiyun felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"Looks like the treasure must be hidden behind the stone door. Let me have a try."
Xuan Ye took a step forward and arrived in front of the stone door. The rest of the men immediately moved back. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. This stone door was really mystical, it could actually attack by itself, and even a Divine Core warrior couldn't open it.
Ha!
Xuan Ye let out a loud shout, then he slammed his golden palms onto the stone door.
Rumble …
Xuan Ye's strength was like a raging ocean, it was not something Guan Yiyun could compare with. But in the next second, an even denser blood colored light shot out from the stone door.
Bang!
Just like Guan Yiyun, the mighty Xuan Ye was knocked away by the blood colored light. His body slammed onto the wall in front of him, causing blood to flow out from the corner of his mouth.
"This is too frightening! If I didn't react in time, I might have suffered a fatal injury!"
Xuan Ye had a frightened expression on his face. The blood colored light was like a ferocious beast, and it carried a mighty aura. Even a Combat Soul warrior like him couldn't withstand it.
"How could this happen?"
Wu Jiu furrowed his brows.
"Even a Combat Soul warrior can't open the stone door, there's no way we can get the treasure inside!"
Tian Yishan was shocked.
"This is too frightening! What exactly is hidden inside? Even a Combat Soul warrior can't touch it, no wonder all the demons and devils don't dare come close to Inferno City!"
"What should we do now?"
All of them had ugly expressions on their faces. Jiang Chen furrowed his brows as well. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
"I can't open the stone door either."
Da Huang Dog shook his head. Although he could sense the existence of the treasure, there was no way he could open the stone door.
Buzz!
Right at this moment, a buzzing sound could be heard from the stone door. After that, beams of blood colored light shot out from the blood dragon statue. This scene frightened everyone, and they immediately backed away. Only Jiang Chen didn't move.
The target of the blood colored light was none other than Jiang Chen. When the blood colored light shot out, it completely covered Jiang Chen, but it didn't attack Jiang Chen.
"Look, the blood colored light didn't hurt chief Jiang!"
Wang Heng cried out in shock.
"Those blood colored lights are really frightening, but they didn't hurt Jiang Brother at all! This is unbelievable!"
Xuan Ye widened his eyes in shock.
"Only those with great destiny can obtain any treasure that has its own spirituality, and Jiang Brother is a man with great destiny. I'm guessing only Jiang Brother can open this stone door."
