Xiao Yulan felt somewhat helpless. It seemed like this Xiao Chen had made up his mind to follow them. A trace of doubt appeared in her mind. This Xiao Chen seemed to be different from the rumors.
Behind the stone door was a long passageway. There were Night Pearls embedded in the ceiling of the passageway every few meters. With the illumination of the Night Pearls, the passageway was not too dark.
The two of them walked forward in silence in the quiet passageway. The atmosphere was so quiet that it was terrifying. Xiao Chen wanted to find a topic to lighten the mood, but when he saw Xiao Yulan's indifferent expression, he did not know what to say.
Just when Xiao Chen could no longer hold it in and wanted to say something, the road in front of him was suddenly cut off. A thick stone wall blocked the way. However, there was now a fork in the road on both sides.
Xiao Chen looked at both sides. Without the illumination of the Night Pearls, the passageway was completely dark, and he could not see the situation inside clearly. Xiao Chen asked, "Cousin Yulan, which way should we go?"
Xiao Yulan looked at both sides and said, "The footprints on the left are very obvious. It should be the direction that the person in blue took. We will go to the right."
Xiao Yulan took out a torch from her bosom and led the way in front, "This place might be the cave of a senior. Don't wander around carelessly later. This kind of place usually has restrictions."
Cave of a senior? When Xiao Chen heard that, he immediately became interested. Indeed, the person in blue would not come to Seven Horn Mountain for no reason. He had come to the right place. Since it was the cave of a senior, there would definitely be treasures inside.
When Xiao Yulan saw Xiao Chen's expression, she knew that he did not take her words to heart. She smiled coldly, "Don't be too naive. Since this place can attract a Martial Saint, the senior in this cave must be at least a Martial King. Just a random restriction would be enough to take your life."
Xiao Chen smiled, "Cousin Yulan is still here. I will be fine as long as I follow you."
Xiao Yulan had a cold expression on her face and did not say anything. The two of them continued to walk forward for a distance. Suddenly, the light brightened and a stone room appeared in front of them.
Xiao Yulan extinguished the fire and carefully sized up the room. The area of the stone room was not big. There was a stone table and a stone bench in the middle. The surrounding walls were smooth and glossy, and the large number of Night Pearls above the stone room formed a strange bird-shaped image.
Xiao Yulan focused her gaze on the stone table. There was an unopened red embroidered box on the table. The embroidered box also had a strange bird-shaped picture on it. Xiao Yulan felt that this picture was somewhat familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen it.
Thunder Roc!
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yulan finally recalled the name of this bird — — Thunder Roc. This Thunder Roc was the Martial Spirit of the Emperor Wu, Sang Mu, who was known as the Thunder King a thousand years ago. Legend had it that Sang Mu was born in an ordinary family. His parents did not cultivate, but he was born with the Thunder Roc Martial Spirit. Before the age of twenty, he reached the peak of Martial Saint.
What made him famous in one battle was the Conferred God Battle organized by the top ten powers of the Tianwu Continent. At the age of twenty, he entered the battle alone without a sect. He defeated many geniuses from the various sects. That was when the name of the Thunder King became known.
In the following years, he rose like a comet. He fought a Martial King, killed Emperor Wu, and killed a Martial Monarch. His name spread throughout the continent. Many people predicted that he would become the youngest Martial God in the history of the Tianwu Continent. However, this person slowly faded out of everyone's sight.
Hearing Xiao Yulan talk about the history of the master of this cave, Xiao Chen's emotions surged, "I wonder if he succeeded in breaking through to Martial God. The answer might be in this box."
Xiao Yulan saw that Xiao Chen was about to open the embroidered box and hurriedly said, "Don't touch it, there is something strange about this box …"
…
In the stone room:
The man in blue looked at the embroidered box on the stone table and the picture on the stone room. He guessed the identity of the master of this cave and smiled, "So it is the cave of the Thunder King, Sang Mu. Before Sang Mu went into seclusion, he already had the cultivation of Emperor Wu. Looks like this trip was not in vain."
Elder Zhang also smiled, "Since that is the case, then when the time comes, Senior must not forget what you promised our Zhang Clan."
The man in blue was clearly in a good mood. He laughed boldly, "Just a mere Mohe City's Xiao Clan. They are not even worthy of our Leng Clan's attention. If this old man can obtain an Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique or Spirit Weapon here, I will give you a pleasant surprise."
Elder Zhang smiled, "Naturally, the Xiao Clan is not a match for the Leng Clan. In that case, how should Senior open this embroidered box?"
The man in blue muttered to himself for a while. Emperor Wu, Sang Mu, was extremely strong. This embroidered box definitely had a restriction that he left behind. If he were to open it rashly, even if he was a Martial Saint, he would still be affected. Glancing at the group of Zhang Clan cultivators behind him, the man in blue smiled strangely.
"Elder Zhang, how about letting the group of cultivators behind you open this embroidered box? With this old man watching from behind, I can guarantee his safety."
Elder Zhang's expression changed, but he quickly recovered, "Since Senior has spoken, then there is naturally no problem. You! Come out and open this box. "
The Zhang Clan cultivator who was pointed at immediately had an expression of extreme fear. He stammered, "First Elder, I … I …"
Elder Zhang's expression sank, and he said angrily, "You are not even going to listen to me? Have you forgotten the family rules? "
When the Zhang Clan cultivator heard the Zhang Clan's rules, his expression became even more unsightly. He walked forward hesitantly and closed his eyes as he stretched out his hand to touch the embroidered box.
"Chi la!"
Just as the Zhang Clan cultivator's hand touched the box, the Thunder Roc embroidered on the box suddenly seemed to come to life. It spread its wings, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the box. Before the Zhang Clan cultivator could activate his Essence, he was electrocuted into a pile of charcoal.
The man in blue did not even look at the Zhang Clan cultivator. He quickly stretched out his right hand to touch the embroidered box. A hard rock spread from his shoulder to his palm. Soon, his entire arm was covered in rock.
With a gentle lift, the man in blue opened the embroidered box without any damage at all. There was a black Martial Technique manual in the embroidered box.
The man in blue took it out impatiently and flipped through it. After glancing through it twice, he lost interest. This was only a Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique manual. It was worth a lot in the Great Qin Nation, but he did not care about it. He casually tossed it to Elder Zhang and said, "Elder Zhang, I have no use for this Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique manual. You can have it."
