"I remember that when the cave abode was opened, the two special envoys of the Jiuhua Alliance, Lord Murong Fei, Lord Wei Qing, and Lord Bu 'er, entered together with the monk Bu' er and a man in white. I have never seen him before. Who is he?"
When the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty asked, everyone replied that it was Gu Qingfeng who had been in the limelight recently.
Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's name, the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty exclaimed softly and said, "So that person is the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng. When I came out of seclusion, I heard many people talking about him. He seems to be very impressive. Although he failed to build his foundation, his physical body is extremely strong and he actually managed to kill the Three Elders Of Yunxia."
"There's nothing impressive about that. He couldn't even take one move from Qin Wanli."
The person who said that was a young man whom everyone recognized. He was Gu Xin, the Colorful Spirit genius of the Lingdu Sect. Although he wasn't as dazzling as Mu Yulong and Qin Wanli's three golden lights, he was still a Colorful Spirit genius with one ordinary and two golden lights. He was so powerful that among the hundred or so people present, no one was a match for him except for the pure Golden Cores like the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"My strength may not be as good as Qin Wanli's, but it's not much different." Gu Xin appeared to be a very cold and arrogant man. He stood straight, and his words were filled with an innate arrogance. He disdainfully stated, "Qin Wanli can kill him in one move. I can kill him in three moves as well."
The surrounding people nodded in agreement. They all knew how powerful the golden lights of nature were. Just as Gu Xin said, his two golden lights might not be as dazzling as the three golden lights of Qin Wanli and Mu Yulong, but it was definitely not much different. Since Gu Qingfeng couldn't take one move from Qin Wanli, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Gu Xin.
Of course, there were also those who disagreed.
"Young Master Gu, if you meet Gu Qingfeng, don't underestimate him. I heard that the former top genius of Yunxia School, Wen Jingshan, was killed by Gu Qingfeng in one move."
"Wen Jingshan? He only managed to open a single streak of golden light. " Gu Xin snorted coldly, as if he didn't put Wen Jingshan in his eyes at all, and said proudly, "How can one Golden Light be compared to my two Golden Lights? It's even easier for me to kill Wen Jingshan with the power of two Golden Lights!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Haha, what a boastful tone."
A group of seven or eight people appeared. The leader was a handsome and tall man with a jade-like face. He wore a jade-like robe and had a smile on his face. He held a green jade fan in his hand and slowly walked over. Behind him were two old men and six middle-aged men with resolute faces.
It was the Special Envoy of the Jiuhua Alliance, Murong Fei.
Gu Xin may be very arrogant, but in front of Murong Fei, who was much higher than him in both status and identity, he could only snort coldly and not say anything.
"You guys are quite fast."
Murong Fei waved the green jade fan and smiled calmly. "There's still strength in numbers. You guys actually managed to barge in here in such a short time. Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty is indeed a master of mechanisms and array formations."
"Master Murong, you must be joking." The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty looked at the few people beside Murong Fei and said, "You have so many experts around you. How would I dare to call myself a master?"
Murong Fei smiled without saying anything. However, just as he was about to walk over, the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up.
"Master Murong, you should know the rules."
"Oh?" Murong Fei stopped and asked, "What rules?"
"The mechanism on this stone door was cracked by I and the rest at the risk of their lives. According to the rules, you can't barge in without permission from I and the rest."
Indeed.
There had been a set of rules in ancient cave abodes like this since ancient times that had been passed down for thousands of years. In order to prevent deaths and injuries from fighting, the one who opened the stone door had the final say. After all, it was an ancient cave abode and every stone room might contain a Numinous Treasure. Whoever opened the stone door first would have the right to enter first. Once they were done looting the treasures inside, the others would then have the right to enter.
As soon as the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty said that, before Murong Fei could say anything, the seven or eight people around him began glowing and seemed like they were about to barge in.
"Master Murong, you may be the special envoy of the Jiuhua Alliance, but you can't break the old rules." The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I and the rest will definitely not give in!"
As soon as he said that, more than a hundred people surrounded him. Both sides were at loggerheads and it seemed that they would attack as long as Murong Fei dared to barge in.
"Many sects in the surrounding territories have long complained about the alliance. If you break the old rules again … I think you should understand what I mean."
"Oh?" Murong Fei didn't seem to be afraid, nor did he care about the hundreds of people around him. With a faint smile on his face, he asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"I and the rest are just telling the truth."
"Hah …"
Murong Fei sneered and closed the green jade fan in his hand. "I know the rules. Besides, there's more than one stone door in this hall. Let's go."
After saying that, Murong Fei led his people to another stone door. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard the voice of the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Master Murong, wait a minute."
"Oh?" This time, Murong Fei seemed to be a little impatient as his tone became stern. "Do you mean that I can't even take the other path without your permission?"
"Master Murong, you've misunderstood." The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty stroked his beard and said sternly, "There are many traps in this stone door and there are dozens of array formations. It's extremely dangerous and unstable. You'd better not go in, Lord Murong."
"Hmph! Just because you're afraid doesn't mean that I'm afraid too. "Murong Fei said proudly," Just because you can't doesn't mean that I can't! "
"Master Murong, please think twice before you act …"
The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty tried to persuade him, but Murong Fei ignored him and walked towards the other stone door.
"Senior Da Qian, since they insist on sending themselves to their deaths, just let them go …" Gu Xin said with a playful smile, "I'm looking forward to it …"
Before Gu Xin could finish, Murong Fei, who was walking to the stone door, suddenly stopped. He glared at Gu Xin and shouted, "Gu Xin, repeat what you said just now!"
Gu Xin was stunned and his expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to speak.
"I'll let you repeat it!"
Gu Xin didn't dare to.
"Hmph! Even Mu Yulong who opened three golds in a row is just a piece of trash in my eyes, let alone you who only opened two golds in one go! " Murong Fei pointed at Gu Xin and hollered, "I'll let you off this time. If you dare to disrespect me again, I'll definitely make you regret being born into this world."
Gu Xin's face turned pale and he breathed heavily while glaring at Murong Fei. In the end, he didn't dare to say a word because he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Trash!"
After saying that, Murong Fei opened the stone door with his people and walked in.
"Ah … Young people are still young after all …" Looking at Murong Fei and the others who walked in, the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty shook his head and sighed. "Young people these days are really getting more and more arrogant and overconfident … They've really disappointed me."
"Senior Da Qian, if Murong Fei dies inside, the Jiuhua Alliance will investigate …"
"There's no hurry. Murong Fei may be arrogant, but he's not reckless." The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty said confidently, "Besides, the people around him are all experts. They should retreat as soon as possible."
Indeed.
Not long after the Perfected Being of the Great Qian Dynasty said that, Murong Fei and the others retreated from the inside with sullen expressions and panicked expressions.
The reason being, they only realized how terrifying it was after entering. Just like the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty said, there were plenty of traps inside and there were seventy to eighty of them. Once they were triggered, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fortunately, he retreated as soon as he entered.
However, although he managed to save his life, he lost his pride.
Although the hundred-odd people around him didn't say anything, they were mocking him in their hearts.
Murong Fei might be a prideful person, but he couldn't flare up in such a situation.
"Lord Murong, this cave abode should have been created by an expert and there are countless dangers inside. Lord, why don't you come with us?"
Faced with the invitation from the Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty, Murong Fei humphed coldly and turned around to ignore him.
"Ah …"
The Perfected One of the Great Qian Dynasty shook his head again and sighed.
At this moment, someone suddenly yelled, "Isn't that Gu Qingfeng?"
'Huh?'
Everyone looked over and saw a person walking towards them. That person was tall and straight, and he was dressed in white. His long hair was casually scattered behind him, and he had a cold face with a leisurely expression. As he walked over, he was eating the Red Leaf Demon Fruit.
When the man in white walked over and was about to enter the stone door …
A holler stopped him.
"You don't know the rules! Hold it right there! "
The holler came from Gu Xin who had just embarrassed himself in front of Murong Fei.
