After coming out of the door of light, Yi Tian found himself in a stone room in the depths of an underground palace. He slowly released his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings, but he found that his Divine Sense could only reach a radius of a few dozen feet.
His gaze swept across the wall and he suddenly discovered some formation patterns. He walked up and took a closer look. He happened to recognize the formation patterns on the wall. They belonged to the type that restricted Divine Sense, so his Divine Sense was useless. He could only rely on his eyes to observe.
After coming out of the stone room, Yi Tian didn't dare to fly around the underground palace in case something unexpected happened. When he reached the outer corridor, he looked back and found that there were still a few stone rooms, but the stone locks on the doors hadn't been opened yet.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He reached out and gently swiped at the stone locks. A few streaks of azure light instantly struck the locks. After a few crisp sounds, the stone locks broke. Yi Tian took large strides and began to search the rooms.
It was a pity that 3,000 years had passed. This place wasn't like an important storehouse. Without the protection of a formation, the materials inside had already been eroded.
Even though he didn't find anything, Yi Tian wasn't discouraged. After leaving the stone room, he followed the outer corridor to explore the central area. From his experience, this place should be hidden underground. As for the way to enter the hidden storehouse, it was the Illusory Heart Formation behind the door of light. As for whether the other three could escape from the center, that wasn't something he could guess.
After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He found a dozen or so stone rooms on both sides of the outer corridor. However, the stone locks on the doors of these rooms had been cut. It seemed that someone had gotten here before him.
Yi Tian felt like he had met an acquaintance. Just as he was about to use his Divine Sense to investigate, he suddenly felt a red spirit force erupt from one of the rooms. Then, someone quickly rushed out and appeared before him. The two of them looked at each other and revealed suspicious expressions.
Yi Tian found that the person in front of him was wearing the uniform of the Righteous Path Alliance. He wore a mask that blocked his Divine Sense. His fire-type spirit force was powerful and didn't seem to be any weaker than his. His cultivation was also at the mid stage of Yuanying.
After a moment of silence, Yi Tian was the first to speak. "Judging from your attire, you should be the Righteous Alliance's Alliance Master, Zhengyuan Dao. How did we meet here?"
Zhengyuan Dao exclaimed softly, then replied, "Are you familiar with Fei Qingjie of our alliance?"
"As luck would have it, I was asked by Fellow Daoist Fei to come and assist in breaking the formation. May I know why the Alliance Master is looking for him?" Yi Tian asked in a puzzled manner.
Zhengyuan Dao said sternly, "That traitor Fei Qingjie secretly found someone to open the Li Fire Sect's secret vault behind my back. When I catch him, I will definitely settle this score with him."
"Since that's the case, I have no interest in the Righteous Alliance's internal affairs. Let's part ways here." With that, Yi Tian turned around and walked towards the corridor.
Suddenly, Zhengyuan Daoyi raised his hand, and a three-foot-long sword turned into a red halo and attacked Yi Tian. Yi Tian's face suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to summon a spirit sword. Suddenly, a thin green thread met the sword head on.
With a "boom", the two's spells collided in mid-air, causing a strong spiritual pressure fluctuation to spread out in all directions.
After the attack, Zhengyuan Dao looked at Yi Tian with an extremely serious expression and said, "You are clearly a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator, but you have deliberately concealed your aura to disguise yourself as an early-stage cultivator. You don't seem to be a good person either. Also, your current face might not be your true appearance. "
"Likewise. You wear a mask and don't want to show your true appearance. Can't I pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger?" Yi Tian said nonchalantly, "I'm thinking that you might be someone I know, Alliance Master."
"I don't remember having any interactions with you, but I'll give you a word of advice. This place is one of the Li Fire Sect's inheritances. If you want to take advantage of this place, you should take it easy." Zhengyuan Dao said without holding back.
"It's fine. Treasures belong to those who are fated to obtain them. However, Alliance Master's appearance reminds me of someone." Yi Tian said with a teasing look, "As such, I won't disturb Alliance Master's search of the Li Fire Sect's hidden vault. Let's part ways here."
After saying that, Yi Tian turned around and flew off in a direction, leaving Zhengyuan Dao standing there alone. He muttered softly, "This person is strong and his motives are unknown. He is the biggest variable. I hope the heavens will bless our Li Fire Sect so that we can successfully retrieve the hidden vault."
After passing through a few intersections, Yi Tian scanned the area briefly before skipping over it. It was best to find a few of his companions and wait for an opportunity to check on the progress of the matter.
Four people had entered the cave, but now that a fifth person had appeared, it meant that more people were bound to appear. The only reason was that one of the four was being followed. After careful consideration, excluding himself, the other three were all possible suspects. As for Fei Qingjie, he was the most suspicious.
There was also Flying Rat and Hua Renxiong. It was hard to guarantee that there was a faction behind them that was working together to follow the markings left behind to find the hidden vault.
After flying for a while in the corridor, Yi Tian noticed a few spiritual pressure fluctuations not far away. After carefully sensing it, the corner of his mouth twitched and he thought to himself, "I've finally found you."
After flying close, the other party seemed to have discovered his existence. They gradually retracted their hands, as if they were waiting for him. Yi Tian did not reveal any expression as he increased his speed and flew straight towards the center of the spiritual pressure fluctuations.
Not long after, after taking a few turns, he came to the entrance of a large stone chamber. At the same time, he scanned the room and saw Mao Butong and Fei Qingjie facing each other. As for Flying Rat, he was cowering in a corner with a look of fear. He was trembling as he opened the protective barrier.
When Yi Tian arrived, the two of them revealed different expressions. Fei Qingjie said with a smile, "Brother Yi, you're finally here."
An awkward expression flashed across Mao Butong's face. After a while, he said with a pleasant expression, "If I had said earlier that Brother Yi was here, I wouldn't have had to force my way through."
When Fei Qingjie heard these insincere words, a mocking smile appeared on his face. He then moved his lips and softly explained the situation here.
Yi Tian looked at the traces of spiritual power fluctuations in the center of the stone chamber. It was clearly left behind after the two of them fought. However, he did not expose them. He only smiled and said to the two of them, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Hua and Fellow Daoist Xiahou have arrived as well. Why don't we wait for them?"
Fei Qingjie's face revealed a hint of suspicion. After receiving Yi Tian's voice transmission, he calmed down. It was no wonder that although Xiahou Cangqiong was a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator, their advantage in numbers was enough to make up for their disadvantage in cultivation.
If they fought here, no one would be able to obtain the treasures here. Yi Tian knew that this was only a temporary peace. Since the Righteous Path Alliance's leader, Zhengyuan Dao, was also here, this matter could not be settled peacefully. The biggest variable was him.
He thought to himself that he had definitely seen this person's aura before. Or rather, he had interacted with him before. However, he could not immediately identify him.
