It was impossible for the two of them to protect anything in a place where Miao Yi's troops were gathered. Their true purpose was to warn the others. If anything were to happen, it would be impossible for the two of them to eliminate them without alerting anyone.
Miao Yi only glanced back and didn't say a word.
Inside the underground palace, the group stopped in front of a metal door leading to a passageway. Wei Shu could clearly feel the fluctuations of transcendence energy coming from the metal door.
Miao Yi waved his hand, and the metal door glowed with a mystical light. The door opened, revealing a glowing hole.
Miao Yi extended his hand and said, "Please!"
Wei Shu stopped in his tracks. He looked into the hole and frowned, "This thing is a transcendent artifact. What does Your Highness mean by asking me to enter it?"
Miao Yi replied, "This is my treasury. Normal people don't have the chance to see it. Are you afraid that I will harm you?"
Wei Shu was indeed prepared for this, but he didn't think Miao Yi would do so unless he was a fool. Otherwise, he would know the consequences of not contacting the outside world. However, he still asked cautiously, "I just find it a little strange that Your Highness is willing to let me see a treasury that is difficult for outsiders to see. Why don't you take the item out and reveal the secret of the treasury instead?"
Miao Yi glanced at the subordinates behind him and suddenly transmitted his voice, "There is no treasure in this so-called treasury. There is only one item. This treasury was set up to protect that item. The item you wish to see is extraordinary. You know how capable the demonic monk is. To prevent any accidents, I left it with the Dragon Clan to guard. Just like the Xiahou Clan, the Dragon Clan does not wish to see the demonic monk reborn. Due to the agreement I made with the Dragon Clan, even I cannot take the treasure out so easily. "
Wei Shu was shocked. He transmitted his voice and asked, "You mean the Dragon Clan?" He thought he heard wrong.
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think I intentionally avoided Cao Man's visit last time? That's just you guys thinking too much. Do I need to go against you guys now? To tell you the truth, the treasure was brought back from the Primordial Wastelands after Cao Man came. "
Wei Shu was clearly surprised. "The Primordial Wastelands still have the Dragon Clan?" He knew that after Miao Yi and Hao Defang hooked up, it would be much easier for him to enter and leave the Primordial Era. Now that Miao Yi was in control of the Southern Army's territory, it would be even easier for him to enter and leave. But what about the Dragon Clan?
Miao Yi nodded towards the inside and said, "You will naturally understand once you go in and take a look. If it weren't for the sake of dispelling your suspicions, there would be no need for me to let you know."
Wei Shu turned around and said to the people behind him, "Send a few people in to take a look!"
"Wait!" Miao Yi stopped him.
Wei Shu immediately said warily, "Could it be that Wangye is feeling guilty?"
Miao Yi silently cursed the old man for being so cautious. He was indeed much more difficult to deal with than Xia Hou Ling.
He said coldly, "I just want to remind Mr. Wei that they can go in and take a look, but when they get back, they have to watch their mouths. They are not allowed to leak the situation inside. Otherwise, who knows what the demonic monk will do. If anything happens, don't blame this king for breaking the promise! "
Wei Shu said, "You don't have to worry about that. Their mouths are absolutely reliable. Without permission, they won't say a single word."
Miao Yi tilted his head to Yang Zhaoqing and said, "Since Mr. Wei is still worried, you can bring them in to take a look first."
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing cupped his fists in acknowledgment, then quickly entered the glowing cave.
Wei Shu waved his hand and gestured for the two of them to go in and take a look.
The two of them immediately went in and passed through the darkness. Their eyes quickly lit up, and they couldn't help but look at each other. They realized that they had actually arrived in another world with mountains and rivers.
Floating not too far away, Yang Zhaoqing shouted to the two of them, "Look over there." He pointed to a mountain peak.
The two of them opened their transcendence vision and looked over in surprise. They realized that there was actually a giant dragon coiled around the mountain peak. It was a giant black dragon that seemed to be sleeping soundly on the mountain peak.
"Follow me," Yang Zhaoqing called out.
The two of them followed him and hovered in front of the mountain peak. The giant dragon with shiny black scales seemed to have sensed the transcendence energy fluctuations and abruptly opened its crimson eyes. It breathed through its nostrils and suddenly kicked up a cloud of dust into the sky. It stretched out its long body and hovered in the air, circling around the three of them. It glared at them fiercely, as if it was filled with hostility.
Yang Zhaoqing cupped his fists and said, "On His Highness's orders, we have come to check on the situation of the artifact."
The black dragon buzzed, "Why are there two strangers?"
Yang Zhaoqing said, "This is His Highness's will. You should know that without His Highness's permission, we can't enter either."
The black dragon shook its head and wagged its tail as it floated to a stop. It faced the three of them and suddenly opened its ferocious mouth, revealing its sharp fangs. The tongue that was curled up in its mouth stretched out and immediately shone with a brilliant light.
It was a giant lotus with leaves, tender and beautiful like blood jade. The lotus leaves, stems, and petals were as beautiful as blood jade. There were no lotus seeds on the lotus seed pod at the center of the flower, but the lotus root connected to the root was as white as jade, a stark contrast to the color on the surface. The brilliant light was emitted from the lotus root. With one look, one could tell that this was an extraordinary treasure.
The black dragon only briefly displayed the treasure, then with a roll of its tongue, it swallowed it back into its mouth. "I've seen it. It's fine. Get lost."
Yang Zhaoqing said to the two beside him, "How is it? Let's go back and report! "
The two of them nodded and followed Yang Zhaoqing into the sky, flying towards the cave in the void. At the same time, they didn't forget to observe their surroundings.
Soon, the three of them came out one after another, and the metal door of the cave closed with a loud bang.
Wei Shu looked at the two people he had just sent in inquisitively and transmitted his voice, "How was it?"
"There's a completely different world inside …" The two of them quickly reported the situation inside.
Wei Shu's eyes flickered as he listened. This Niu Youde actually had a treasure that could form a world of its own. There really was a dragon here. It seemed like this Niu Youde had quite a few trump cards hidden on him.
Miao Yi calmly asked, "How was it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Wei Shu stared at the metal door and said, "This treasure is quite rare. I, Wei Shu, am so inexperienced that I've never seen it before. It seems like it is indeed a good treasure trove."
Miao Yi wasn't the least bit surprised by this. Back when he was still in the Small World, he had always thought that the things in the Larger World were the best. He reckoned that the cultivators in the Small World also thought the same. But after he had familiarized himself with the Larger World, he realized that it wasn't the case at all. The Small World also had its own advantages. Don't underestimate the Small World because it was small. In reality, compared to the Larger World, whether it was cultivation techniques or anything else, it could be said to be a gathering of the best.
As for the Exquisite Pagoda before him, it had been further improved by Yao Ruoxian. In fact, the entire Exquisite Refinement Sect had already become his personal team of artifact refiners. They were constantly providing him with superior transcendent artifacts that corresponded to the progress of his cultivation. Add to that his current wealth, as long as Miao Yi broke through to a higher cultivation, he would immediately have the appropriate transcendent artifacts to change into.
"Mr. Wei, the item has been confirmed. You can rest easy now." Miao Yi extended his hand to the outside of the underground palace, indicating that they could leave.
Wei Shu chuckled, "Since I'm already here, Your Highness shouldn't mind if I witness it with my own eyes, right?"
Miao Yi was a little impatient, "Do you think your subordinates would lie to you?"
Wei Shu replied, "My subordinates are not perceptive. It would be better to see it with my own eyes. After all, I have to personally report to the Family Head. It wouldn't be good to cause any misunderstandings if I didn't explain it clearly. What do you say, Your Highness?" Actually, he also had the intention of going in to investigate the situation inside the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda.
Miao Yi sneered in his heart, 'I knew you would definitely go in. But on the surface, he still warned, "I advise you not to do anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Wei Shu cupped his fists and smiled, "Your Highness is too serious. How would I dare to do anything in your territory? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Miao Yi gave him a look that said 'at least you know what's good for you.' With a wave of his hand, the sealed metal door opened once again. This time, Miao Yi was the first to enter.
Wei Shu waved his hand and called for five people to follow him in, while leaving three people outside to stand guard.
But as soon as Wei Shu and the others entered, the metal door immediately closed shut. The three people standing guard outside immediately exchanged glances. One of them quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted Wei Shu, informing him of the situation.
After entering the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda, the Star Bell in Wei Shu's hand paused. He turned to look at the sky and saw that the entrance was indeed closed. He immediately pointed upwards and asked Miao Yi, "Your Highness, why did you close the entrance?"
Miao Yi coldly replied, "This artifact is under my control. When I enter, it will naturally close. When I want to leave, I will naturally open it. If Head Steward Wei feels unsafe, I can open it now and let you out."
Wei Shu chuckled, "That's not what I meant." The Star Bell in his hand replied that it was fine. He looked around and clicked his tongue, "This artifact is indeed a little interesting. It's of a much higher grade than the Blessed Paradise."
Wei Shu looked over and saw the black dragon sleeping on top of the mountain. He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, 'As expected of the dragon race. To think that the dragon race still existed in the Desolate Wastelands. The Celestial Court hadn't been able to find them even after clearing them out so many times. I wonder what kind of agreement this Niu Youde made with the dragon race. It looks like I'll have to carefully investigate this matter in the future.'
Meanwhile, Miao Yi and Yang Zhaoqing had already arrived at the mountain peak. Miao Yi even landed lightly on the dragon's head. The black dragon beneath his feet opened its large red eyes and slowly rose up, giving Miao Yi, who was standing with his hands behind his back, a unique aura.
The black dragon opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, revealing a dazzling blood lotus.
Wei Shu's eyes brightened, and he quickly flew over with the others.
Unexpectedly, the black dragon blinked its eyes mischievously. With a gulp, it swallowed the artifact in its mouth and closed its mouth.
Standing on top of its head, Miao Yi's hands, which were behind his back, suddenly lit up. An Transcendence Breaker Bow appeared in his hands, and he quickly drew it. Three arrows shot out at the same time, glowing brilliantly. The three arrow shafts were engraved with patterns of a snake, tiger, and eagle respectively. The air around them surged as the bowstring was drawn.
'Seventh Grade Transcendence Breaker Bow?' Wei Shu was shocked, and the others quickly stopped.
'Bang!' The sound shook the heavens and the earth. Three streaks of light shot out, as though they were going to destroy everything in the world.
Wei Shu never imagined that Miao Yi would actually dare to attack him. Did he not know the consequences of not being able to return?
Not only him, even Yang Zhaoqing was on tenterhooks. If anything went wrong and Wei Shu leaked the slightest bit of information, then they would be in big trouble. Only the Prince would dare to take such a risk when it came to something that could easily go wrong. After all, it wasn't just the current situation. If Wei Shu didn't have a grasp of the Council of Elders' situation, then this matter would definitely be exposed. The chances of Wei Shu not knowing the Council of Elders' situation were very high!
