"We have nothing to do with this Bagushidu. What does he mean by suddenly giving us a treasure map? "
The Black Yin Ancestor and the others watched the Turkic emissary's departing figure in confusion.
No one came to the Treasury of the Three Treasures for no reason, and all the people here were titans of the martial arts world. No one would believe that this Bagushidu had no ulterior motives and would willingly offer up a treasure map.
Behind them, Wang Chong's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he stared at the emissary's back.
Wang Chong had actually heard the Formation Elder mention this Eastern Turkic King Bagushidu's name when he first entered the northwest, but let alone Wang Chong, not even the Formation Elder had ever seen this Eastern Turkic King, only heard of him.
Wang Chong had not expected Bagushidu to voluntarily hand over the Origin Immortal Lord's treasure map, much less to him.
"The Imperial Court …"
The words of the Turkic emissary caused Wang Chong's eyes to turn gloomy. At that moment, a complicated expression flashed through his heart, but he quickly suppressed it and said nothing.
"Your Highness, these Tang people have always been our enemies. Why would Your Highness hand over such a precious treasure map to them?"
At the same time, an Eastern Turkic expert on another mountain spoke his mind.
The Eastern Turkic Khaganate had always been at war with the Tang Dynasty, and although these people were not generals on the battlefield, they were still Tang people. There was no reason for them to hand over the Origin Immortal Lord's treasure map.
"Heh, to take first, one must first give. If we don't open the treasury, how can we get what we want? "
Bagushidu stood on the mountain with his hands held behind his back, his robes fluttering in the breeze. He exuded the aura of a strategist.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, and he was that oriole.
Very few people knew about the legendary number one wondrous technique in the world of the Central Plains, and his desire for it was stronger than anyone else's.
"… Let me see just how profound the Origin Immortal Lord in Master's final will is!"
Bagushidu quickly calmed down as his gaze swept over the area.
…
With Bagushidu's treasure map, they now had five pieces. Only one piece was needed to complete the Origin Immortal Art.
From the moment the Four Ends Martial Lord handed over the first treasure map, no one, including Wang Chong, had expected that they would be so close to success.
"Only the last piece of the treasure map is left. I can't believe we're about to succeed!"
The Formation Elder muttered to himself as he looked at the five treasure maps on the ground, glimmering in the light of the Energy Condensation Pearl.
Over the centuries, countless people had attempted to open the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury, but none had succeeded. There were even many people who fought for it, only to discover that it was a fake treasure map and lose their lives for nothing.
And now, everything was destined to come to an end.
"But even though we have five treasure maps, they're still useless. Without the last one, everything will be for naught!"
Jili Laozu couldn't help but say.
A deathly stillness fell over the area, and even Wang Chong fell silent.
Although they had five treasure maps, no one knew the whereabouts of the last map. If they couldn't complete the treasure map, they would have rejoiced for nothing.
"Hahaha, in truth, many of you know where the last treasure map is, but you just don't want to say it. Since that's the case, I'll say it for you! "
The Black Yin Ancestor glanced at Jili Laozu and chuckled.
"Almost all of the powerhouses that appeared in the northwest have a treasure map in their hands. As the saying goes, one doesn't come to a temple without a cause. This region is where the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury is, and we've all handed over our treasure maps. Take a look and see if there's any faction that hasn't appeared yet. The last treasure map is with them. "
The Zhengqi League, Song Yuanyi!
Wang Chong raised an eyebrow at the Black Yin Ancestor's words, immediately understanding what he was getting at.
There was only one faction in the northwest that hadn't allied with them: the Zhengqi League!
Jili Laozu and the Four Ends Martial Lord turned grim at these words, apparently having predicted what the Black Yin Ancestor would say.
"Hahaha, Young Master Wang is truly intelligent. The Zhengqi League is the number one faction of the martial arts world. You didn't think that they came all the way to the northwest just to hunt down the Demonic Emperor and his disciple, did you?"
The Black Yin Ancestor said. In his battle with Wang Chong, this evil path titan was clearly much more polite to Wang Chong than before.
"The Zhengqi League is only our guess. Moreover … Alliance Lord Song won't be that easy to deal with."
Jili Laozu hesitantly said.
Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra was renowned throughout the world. Not even Jili Laozu was confident that he could deal with Song Yuanyi.
Moreover, the Zhengqi League was known as the number one alliance in the world and possessed enormous power. Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, and the other vice alliance lords were not friendly people.
Unless absolutely necessary, Jili Laozu was not willing to provoke them.
"Crucially, it seems like Alliance Lord Song isn't that interested in the Origin Immortal Treasury. If he's not willing to hand it over, there's nothing we can do!"
The Four Ends Martial Lord said with a frown.
If it was a one-on-one, he wouldn't be afraid of Song Yuanyi. But if he wasn't just facing the Zhengqi League Lord, that was a completely different matter.
"Hahaha, be at ease. Song Yuanyi will hand it over."
The Black Yin Ancestor gave a strange smile.
… …
"Alliance Lord, they've already gathered five treasure maps!"
At this moment, all the Elders and experts of the Zhengqi League had gathered in the Zhengqi League's temporary base.
No one had expected Wang Chong's group to so quickly find five treasure maps. It would have been fine if the map had fallen into the hands of some other person of the Central Plains, but it just had to be that mysterious Eastern Turkic King Bagushidu who had delivered it.
"Damn, just what is this Bagushidu doing!? Now, the Evil Emperor and his men are only missing the last piece of the treasure map. "
Sikong Yuanjia's hair stood on end in rage.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter how many we gather. Yuanjia, pass on my order. Prepare to leave. "
Song Yuanyi waved his sleeve and said.
"Reporting!"
As he spoke, a loud shout came from the distance. A few moments later, a Righteous Alliance disciple hurriedly made his way toward the group.
"Alliance Lord, someone from the Five Ancestor Alliance requests an audience!"
"Ah!"
Hearing the scout's words, the surrounding crowd looked at each other in dismay, and an uproar broke out. Sikong Yuanjia, Ouyang Changheng, and the others all frowned.
The Five Ancestor Alliance and the Zhengqi League had always been at odds with each other. For someone from the Five Ancestor Alliance to request an audience at a time like this was probably not a good thing.
Everyone turned to Song Yuanyi.
"I won't see him!"
Song Yuanyi's expression was cold and aloof, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Hahaha!"
But Song Yuanyi had barely spoken when a burst of laughter rang out.
"Alliance Lord Song, you seem to be in such a hurry that you won't even see your friend. Where are you in such a hurry to go? “
At first, the voice seemed to come from thousands of miles away, but in the next moment, an aura like a storm came from afar, dragging a long wave of air behind it.
One, two, three … in just a few short moments, five or six energies on par with the Black Yin Ancestor were rapidly approaching.
And behind them was an astonishing number of Five Ancestor Alliance disciples and unaffiliated martial artists. From a distance, there were five or six thousand of them.
Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting instantly paled at this sight.
The distant forces were getting closer and closer, and it only took a few moments for them to reach the base of the mountain.
"Those who have come have ill intentions, and those who have good intentions will not come. Let's go and take a look!"
Xie Guangting, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said as he stared down the mountain.
Song Yuanyi said nothing, only gave a slight nod, and then he and Xie Guangting began to advance.
The two groups of people came closer and closer, and when they were about two hundred feet apart, they stopped at the same time.
On the Zhengqi Alliance side, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting led the way, with Sikong Yuanjia, Ouyang Changheng, and the other Alliance Elders following close behind.
On the other side, the Black Yin Ancestor led the group, with the Myriad Ghost Ancestor and the Bone Devil Ancestor on the left and right. Behind them were the Four Ends Martial Lord and Jili Laozu.
Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang stood at the very back.
"The Black Yin Ancestor seems certain that the final treasure map is on Song Yuanyi."
Wang Chong smirked as he looked at Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor.
Not too long ago, Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor had been working together to deal with him, but now, the two groups were facing off against each other. No one had expected the shift in momentum between friend and foe.
"Chong-er, we can't be careless in this matter. In the martial arts world, deception and deceit are commonplace. If they can work with us to deal with Song Yuanyi, they can also work with Song Yuanyi to deal with us.
We can't let down our guard against them, "the Evil Emperor indifferently said, his hands held behind his back.
"Your disciple understands. But after being pursued for so long, if we can use the Origin Immortal Art to make them turn on us, why not? "
Wang Chong faintly smiled.
He naturally didn't believe that the Black Yin Ancestor and the Five Ancestor Alliance were just using each other. But when he saw the nasty expressions on the faces of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting, Wang Chong felt a surge of satisfaction.
The Evil Emperor said nothing, only raised his head. There, the disciples of the Zhengqi Alliance had unsheathed their weapons and were looking around with righteous indignation.
"Black Yin Ancestor, what do you think you're doing!?"
Before Song Yuanyi could speak, Sikong Yuanjia angrily bellowed.
"Where did this nameless nobody come from? Your alliance lord hasn't even spoken yet, so how dare a servant like you interrupt!? "
