"I really can't hide anything from you."
"That's right."
"Originally, I didn't plan to go, but two days ago, when I went to find Shangguan Fenglan, she suddenly mentioned this matter and asked me to go with you."
"Actually, I know. She just wants me to monitor you."
Huo Yi said helplessly.
"So, you agreed?"
"You really value love over friendship."
Qin Feiyang despised.
"How is that possible?"
"Even if I listen to her, we are still good brothers."
"You can rest assured!"
"I will never betray my brothers for a woman."
Huo Yi patted his chest as he solemnly vowed.
"Come on!"
"In the future, it's better for me to keep a distance from you, lest I have to help you count the money when you betray me."
Qin Feiyang said.
"I'm not happy with what you said."
"After being together for so long, have I ever betrayed you?"
Huo Yi said angrily.
"Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Qin Feiyang said indifferently.
"I …"
Huo Yi suddenly became annoyed.
But at this moment, Qin Feiyang suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the mountains below.
This sudden change caused Huo Yi to be taken aback. He followed Qin Fei Yang's gaze, but he didn't find anything in the mountains below.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Yi was suspicious.
"I faintly feel hostility again."
Qin Feiyang whispered.
"Hostility?"
Huo Yi frowned and looked at the mountains below again. There was indeed nothing, "Are you having an illusion?"
"Impossible."
"This hostility is exactly the same as the last time we entered Saint Peak."
Qin Feiyang said.
Huo Yi was surprised, "Could it be that someone is targeting you?"
"I don't know."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
"Then, you have to be careful in the future."
Huo Yi secretly warned.
Qin Feiyang nodded and glanced at the mountains and rivers below. A glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "Let's go!"
The two continued to move forward.
…
About fifty-six miles away from the Saint Peak, there was a wide river.
The river was calm and clear.
And at a certain place beside the river, there was a black castle.
The ancient castle was several hundred feet tall, like a huge mountain, and it exuded a majestic aura.
On the gate of the ancient castle, there were four bold words carved into it.
— — Martial Arts Treasury!
The door was tightly shut.
In front of the door, there was a small square. The ground was covered with a layer of green bricks, and traces of weathering could be seen everywhere.
In the center of the square, a black-clothed old man sat upright on the ground. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was recuperating from his injuries.
Qin Feiyang and Qin Haodong landed on the square.
"This person is also one of the big shots of our Nine Heavens Palace. He is extremely strong and is in charge of guarding the martial arts treasury. As for his status, he is comparable to Feng Yuan and Shangguan Fenglan."
Huo Yi transmitted his voice.
Qin Feiyang's pupils contracted.
An existence comparable to Feng Yuan and Shangguan Fenglan must not be underestimated.
"Disciple Huo Yi and disciple Jiang Haotian greet milord."
The two bowed.
The black-clothed old man slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the two, a light flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Why have you come to the martial arts treasury?"
Huo Yi respectfully said, "We want to enter the martial arts treasury."
"Identity token."
The black-clothed old man said.
The two took out their identity tokens.
The black-clothed old man glanced at them and said, "You only have two chances. You can only choose one iron box each time. You can also choose two at a time, but you cannot enter the martial arts treasury in the future."
"Understood."
The two nodded.
"Remember, you are not allowed to mess around in the martial arts treasury, and you are not allowed to steal. Otherwise, no matter who it is, you will be killed without mercy."
The black-clothed old man said.
"Disciple will remember."
The two bowed.
The black-clothed old man waved his hand and the martial arts treasury's gate slowly opened. He said, "Go in. The time limit is one hour."
Qin Feiyang and Huo Yi took a deep breath and strode into the martial arts treasury.
The time limit of one hour meant that they could only stay in the martial arts treasury for one hour.
Once the time limit was up, they had to come out.
… …
"This … …"
As soon as the two entered the martial arts treasury, they were immediately dumbfounded.
This martial arts treasury was at least thousands of feet in size. Inside, there were rows of iron shelves neatly arranged.
And on the iron shelves, there were countless black iron boxes.
These iron boxes, regardless of size or appearance, were exactly the same. At a glance, it was unknown how many there were.
Qin Feiyang walked to the front of an iron shelf and looked at the dozens of iron boxes on it. His eyes were full of curiosity.
Just as he stretched out his hand and was about to grab one of the iron boxes, Huo Yi's face changed. He hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Qin Feiyang.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned and looked at him puzzledly.
"You can't take it randomly."
"Because once you pick it up, the martial arts treasury will automatically judge that you have chosen this iron box and will directly send you out."
Huo Yi explained.
Hearing this, Qin Feiyang quickly retracted his hand.
"There is a full hour. There is no rush to choose, let's take a look first!"
As Huo Yi walked, he glanced at the iron boxes on the shelf.
"Can you use divine sense to peek?"
Qin Feiyang looked for a while and asked.
"You can try!"
Huo Yi said.
"Let's try."
Qin Feiyang released his divine sense and rushed towards the iron boxes around him.
However, in the next moment, he froze.
These iron boxes were actually able to block the prying of Divine Sense.
"Naive."
"These iron boxes are all made of Hidden Soul Stone."
"Divine sense can't peek at all."
Huo Yi looked at Qin Feiyang with a sneer.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him and then frowned: "The same size, the same shape, and you don't need to use divine sense to peek at them. This is completely dependent on luck!"
"It is dependent on luck."
"Inside these iron boxes, there are low-grade divine arts and perfect divine arts. It is said that there are even legendary divine arts, but it depends on whether you have the luck to get them."
Huo Yi said.
"Legendary divine art …."
Qin Feiyang's eyes lit up.
So far, other than the six-word divine art, the strongest divine art he had was the Divine Dragon Art.
Peak divine art.
Of course, there were also three thousand incarnations.
However, these three thousand incarnations were a bit special and couldn't be judged by ordinary levels.
Time passed in a flash.
Half an hour was almost up.
The two of them had finished looking through the entire martial arts treasury.
"I'm too lazy to come in again. I'll just choose two at a time!"
Huo Yi stopped in front of an iron shelf, glanced at the iron boxes on it, and shook his head: "It's all based on luck. It doesn't matter, just choose two at random."
Finished.
Huo Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed two iron boxes on the fourth row of the iron shelf.
And immediately after.
An invisible force emerged, and Huo Yi immediately disappeared in front of Qin Feiyang's eyes.
Qin Feiyang frowned, retracted his gaze, and glanced at the surrounding iron shelves with a hesitant expression.
"Which iron box should I choose?"
If there were more opportunities, it wouldn't matter.
But now, he only had two chances.
Just as he was hesitating, the door of the martial arts treasury slowly opened.
"Didn't Huo Yi's two chances have been used up?"
Qin Feiyang suspiciously turned his head to look at the door, only to find that the person who came in was not Huo Yi, but a black-clothed youth.
That person was about 1.8 meters tall, and his body was neither fat nor thin. His thick black hair draped over his back like a waterfall, and his whole body exuded an unfathomable aura.
"En?"
Qin Feiyang sized up the black-clothed youth. Why did he look so familiar?
But he didn't think too much about it.
After all, there wasn't much time left. Choosing an iron box was more important.
He retracted his gaze and glanced at the surrounding iron shelves, unable to make a decision.
The black-clothed youth only glanced at Qin Feiyang for a moment, and then wandered around the martial arts treasury.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not.
The black-clothed youth slowly walked to Qin Feiyang's side, sized up the iron boxes on the iron shelves, and suddenly said: "Jiang Haotian, let's make a bet."
"Make a bet?"
Qin Feiyang was slightly taken aback. He turned his head to look at the black-clothed youth suspiciously, and said: "Are you talking to me?"
What was going on?
He wanted to make a bet with him for no reason. Was he crazy?
"Yes."
The black-clothed youth nodded, but did not turn his head. He continued to scan the iron boxes on the iron shelves.
"He really is crazy."
Qin Feiyang secretly muttered, and shook his head: "Not interested."
"Not interested …"
The black-clothed youth murmured, and laughed: "I didn't expect that even you, Jiang Haotian, would not dare to do something."
His words were filled with blatant mockery.
"What do you mean?"
"Do I know you?"
Qin Feiyang raised his eyebrows.
"You don't know me, but I know you."
"How about it?"
"Do you dare to make a bet?"
The black-clothed youth said, still not turning his head.
"Are you here to pick a fight?"
Qin Feiyang was startled, and asked: "What are we betting on?"
"We each choose an iron box, and see whose divine art is of a higher grade."
"As for the bet, it's our lives."
The black-clothed youth said.
"What?"
Qin Feiyang was dumbfounded. He actually wanted to gamble with his life?
"Do I have a grudge against you?"
Other than a deep hatred, there was no other reason to make such a risky bet.
"That's none of your business."
"I'm just asking if you dare."
The black-clothed youth said indifferently.
"I don't even know who you are. Why would I bet with you?"
Qin Feiyang finished speaking and looked away.
He was not afraid, but because such a bet was meaningless.
"Is that all you have?"
The black-clothed youth's voice sounded again.
Just as the voice sounded, Qin Feiyang's body stiffened.
He felt that familiar hostility again.
Could it be …
He suddenly turned around and looked at the black-clothed youth, only to see that the black-clothed youth was staring at him at this moment.
His eyes were full of hatred!
"The hostility I felt the last two times was really from you!"
"Who are you?"
"I don't think I've seen you before."
Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice.
The black-clothed youth said word by word: "My name is Nie Kong, Nie Yun's elder brother, the eldest son of the Star River City Lord!"
"Nie Kong!"
Qin Feiyang was shocked.
No wonder he came to gamble with his life. It turned out that he was Nie Yun's elder brother.
Obviously, this person wanted to avenge Nie Yun.
But why did he choose to gamble with his life in such a way?
Even he could not see through this person's cultivation. It was obvious that he was a Monarch God expert.
A Divine Lord level powerhouse could totally formally issue a challenge to him.
In this way, the chances of winning would be higher.
And gambling like this was simply a matter of luck.
Was there something wrong with this person's brain?
