After turning a corner, they didn't encounter any more traps. With the help of the faint light, they saw a tightly shut door in front of them. The faint light came from the cracks of the door. Furthermore, it was clear that it wasn't just a single type of light. Instead, it was mixed with countless dazzling lights that were emitted by treasures.
"It really is here. Don't worry, there won't be any traps after this. " Yan Tian 'ao's serious expression finally changed. With this kind of light that only rare treasures could release, he could already confirm that everything was real. Behind the door, there must be countless shocking treasures.
He took a few steps forward, stood in front of the door, and slowly pressed his hand on the door. The key to this door was the Imperial Jade Seal of Tenryū Province, otherwise normal people wouldn't be able to open it. But only normal people. Yan Duan Hun and Yan Tian 'ao didn't travel thousands of miles to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Palace to steal the Imperial Jade Seal. Because they had already surpassed the human realm and reached the divine realm, they were confident that they could break this iron door.
"Boom!"
The trembling sound caused the bodies of the five people behind him to tremble. This was the power of the Infernal Spirit that had been compressed to the greatest extent. By concentrating enough power into as small a point as possible, the resulting destructive power would increase by several times.
The incomparably hard door instantly cracked from the center under the powerful destructive power. Then, like a piece of broken glass, it fell down. A dazzling light came towards them …
Yan Tian 'ao was stunned. Everyone was completely stunned at this moment.
The shock of the scene in front of them was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
In the dark underground, the light in front of them was so dazzling. It was not a light, nor was it a dense light element. Instead, it was a strange light produced by the overlapping light emitted by countless rare treasures. It was so strong that it was hard to believe.
"This is … too exaggerated." The bearded middle-aged man shouted with his mouth wide open. He had probably never been as shocked as he was at this moment in his entire life.
As far as the eye could see, there was light everywhere. Gold, jewels, and rare treasures were everywhere. Other than these rare treasures that were scattered on the ground, there were also countless huge boxes in the huge space. From the light emitted by the box, it could be seen that both the box and the lock were made of gold. Yan Tianao's eyes flickered. He moved forward and appeared in front of a treasure chest. With a flick of his wrist, he broke the golden lock and opened the chest. Immediately, a brilliant light appeared. The huge box was filled with rare treasures that were normally hard to come by.
Bang!
Another chest was opened. It was filled with pearls of various colors, each of them priceless. Then, the third chest was opened. It was filled with shiny gold bars …
All of a sudden, they felt that their nerves and eyes were not strong enough. They had never thought that one day they would be blinded by gold and jewels.
This space was very big, and there were hundreds of golden chests at a glance … No, there were thousands of chests … This was a number that could make the world's richest man's jaw drop in shock and disbelief.
The few people from the North Thearch Sect looked at each other in dismay. They could see the incomparable astonishment and excitement in each other's eyes. Everything was exactly as the rumors said. Everything had gone so smoothly. The legend of the iron sword was true. They had stolen the iron sword, obtained the treasure map, and followed the directions on the treasure map to come here and find this treasure trove … A treasure trove that was truly rich enough to rival a country.
They had once gone to the treasury and treasure trove of Sunflower Dew Country, but the reserves there were far from what they had in front of them. It wouldn't be excessive to buy a country with the wealth in front of them.
"Seventh Elder, the treasure trove has been found. What should we do now? "One of them secretly swallowed his saliva and said to Yan Tianao. Their mission this time had been completed, and it had been completed without a hitch. Facing the incomparable wealth in front of them, even their strength and mental fortitude were shaken.
"Go back and inform the Sect Leader to transport it back to the sect in the shortest time possible. The Evil Sect's eyes are all over the world, and the Evil Emperor will very likely guess that we stole the iron sword. We cannot lower our guard, we must be fast. "Yan Tianao turned around and said.
"I will immediately release the signal arrow."
"No!" Yan Tianao stopped him. "Releasing the signal arrow will instead attract the attention of the Evil Sect. The three of you, quickly return to the sect and bring as many people here as possible. Then, come under the starry night, and return under the starry night. Deal with it in one go, try not to attract the attention of others. "
"Yes!" The three of them received the order and returned without hesitation.
Yan Tianao and the other two people stood guard here.
None of the six of them noticed that behind the mountain of treasure chests, a silver figure flashed past. If he didn't wear a mask, they could clearly see the sneer of ridicule on his face.

Zhuge Xiaoyu's original light armor had already been changed to heavy armor. She didn't have time to stay in West Lu City, and brought the army directly to Cloud Flower City in a grandiose manner. Speed was important in war, and she would never forget the basic rules of the battlefield.
The sun had already reached the middle of the sky. Zhuge Xiaoyu roughly calculated that with the current speed of the army, it would probably be evening by the time they reached Cloud Flower City. She took the lead, leading the army at the very front, and silently memorized the distance and the surrounding terrain. At this moment, a horse's neigh suddenly sounded in front of her, followed by the sound of horse hooves coming closer.
Zhuge Xiaoyu's eyes focused, and she lightly shouted, "Quickly go and find out if it's a friend or foe!"
Three people rode past her, and not long after, they returned, dragging a person who was covered in blood. His hair was messy, his armor was broken in many places, and his breath was already quite weak. The reason why he could ride for so long was because of his strong willpower.
"… Cloud Flower City is in trouble, requesting support …" He said a vague sentence to Zhuge Xiaoyu, and his spirit relaxed, and he fell to the ground.
Zhuge Xiaoyu frowned, and shouted, "All troops, listen to my order, advance at full speed, do not stop in the middle! You must reach Cloud Flower City before evening!! "
The soldier who had fainted was obviously risking his life to break out of Cloud Flower City and ask for help from West Lu City. The Great Gale Army's footsteps were extremely fast, and now Cloud Flower City was in danger.
Dust flew on the ground, and the horses' hooves shook the sky. Under the scorching sun, a large number of soldiers and horses headed south, bringing with them rolling sand and dust.
Yun Hua City was indeed in a precarious situation. The highest general guarding Cloud Flower City was called Ye Hui, and he belonged to a branch of the Yeh family. He could also be considered as a member of the Yeh family, and he had extraordinary achievements in military affairs. However, there were only a few guards in the city, less than thirty thousand, while the Great Gale Army's one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers covered the sky and the earth, and they were extremely ferocious. In less than three days, the city was almost breached several times.
Now, more than half of their thirty thousand soldiers and horses were lost. After the city was closed, the Great Gale Nation shot countless fire arrows into the city every day, making them miserable. The four directions of the city were blocked by the Great Gale Army, and there was not a single gap left. Even abandoning the city to break out of the siege had become an extravagant hope. If they could not wait for reinforcements, they would probably only be waiting for death. The morale of the army was shaken, and many of the soldiers and generals even thought of leaving the city to surrender.
Another evening was approaching. Suddenly, more than ten people from the Great Gale Army, who had been quiet for a long time, walked up to the city gate of Cloud Flower City. Immediately, arrows were shot from above the city wall. They turned a blind eye to the arrows, and only one of them suddenly raised his hand. A khaki-colored barrier appeared in the sky and blocked all the arrows … It was the Earth Elemental Defense Shield!
The other ten people stood there silently, frowning and closing their eyes as they focused. After more than ten seconds, the Elemental Defense Shield above their heads began to crack. The ten people opened their eyes at the same time, and dense elemental energy was pushed forward by their combined strength. At the same time, the arrows that fell from the broken shield pierced through their bodies one by one.
Wherever the force reached, dust flew, and finally, the arrows landed on the city gate. A loud bang immediately rang out, and a few wide cracks appeared on the thick and heavy city gate.
The Great Gale Army could not wait any longer. They did not hesitate to sacrifice more than ten precious people who could use magic to break through the defense of Cloud Flower City's gate. Then, a large group of soldiers fearlessly charged forward amidst the rain of arrows. Their shoulders were joined together, and they carried long and thick logs on their shoulders.
On top of the city wall, an awe-inspiring general who was nearing his fifties stared at the scene below. His brows furrowed more and more, and finally, he let out a long sigh. He was Ye Hui.
Under the fearless attack of the Great Gale Army, the city gate of Cloud Flower City was gradually collapsing, and the troops in the distance were also gradually closing in. Once the city gate was broken, they would be able to force their way in and dye Cloud Flower City with blood.
Ye Hui was left with no other choice. He suddenly charged down with a spear in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, we have no way out! Even if we die, we must fight our way out in style, and not hide here and wait for our deaths. Open the city gate! Whoever doesn't kill enough will still be a coward in their next life! "
The almost rotten city gate was opened, and the city guards of Cloud Flower City swarmed out toward the Great Gale Army. A chaotic battle broke out in front of the city gate, and in the blink of an eye, the city wall was already dyed red with blood.
The sun gradually moved to the west. There was no hope for them to break out of the encirclement, and there was no way to retreat. Under the realization that death was inevitable, the soldiers of Cloud Flower City immediately pounced on the enemies in front of them like hungry wolves who had been driven mad. They fearlessly exerted all their combat strength and forcibly stopped the invasion of the Great Gale Army. However, they were destined to be unable to fight a war of attrition due to the difference in their military strength. The sun that was about to set was like the fate of them and the entire Cloud Flower City. The moment the afterglow of the sun set would be the end of their fate.
The chaotic battle lasted for a long time. Ye Hui held a spear in his hand, and like a ferocious tiger that had descended the mountain, he charged forward with all his might. He had completely disregarded life and death. He only attacked with the spear in his hand, and as he brandished it, he had already killed dozens of Great Gale Army soldiers. Both his spear and his armor were dyed red with blood, and his strength and spirit were rapidly being depleted. More and more wounds appeared on his body, and the blood that seeped out of his body took away his life.
Suddenly, a deafening battle cry rang from afar, followed by a loud shout, "General Pingyun is here! Prepare to die! "The troops that had been charging from the north split into more than ten teams and maintained their momentum. Like a dozen sharp swords, they ruthlessly stabbed into the troops of the Great Gale Army, who had been caught off guard.
The arrival of the reinforcements caused the soldiers of Cloud Flower City, who had fallen into a bitter struggle, to have a great mental battle. Under the light of hope, they began to squeeze out the last of their strength from their almost exhausted bodies, and roared as they charged toward the enemies in front of them.
Zhuge Xiaoyu's 50,000 soldiers were divided into 16 teams, and with the "Eight Gates Iron Chain Formation" that she had created, they charged back and forth among the troops of the Great Gale Army, causing the originally orderly troops to fall into disarray, and they could no longer take care of each other. Immediately, the morale of the soldiers of the Great Gale Army was slightly disrupted, and then it became even more chaotic. They were suppressed and forced to retreat step by step. The chaotic battle lasted until sunset, when the Great Gale Army finally sounded the gong to retreat. The remaining soldiers of Cloud Flower City and Zhuge Xiaoyu's reinforcements also retreated into the city.
