The bamboo hat leader cast a wary glance at the Five Ancestor Alliance and whispered, “Keep a watch on that group! Make sure that they don’t join with the others.”
They had no understanding of the situation in the martial arts world. They needed to take precautions against the possibility of these two groups joining together.
“Hahaha!”
At this moment, the Black Yin Ancestor began to laugh.
“Fellow Daoists, this one is Luo Qiyin of the Five Ancestor Alliance. If my guess is correct, the one you were trying to capture that day is this brat, but the Righteous Alliance ruined your plan, causing you to lose many men. Our Five Ancestor Alliance also has a grudge with the Righteous Alliance, so why don’t we work together to kill them? As proof of our sincerity, our Five Ancestor Alliance will kill the first ten-some Righteous Alliance members on the other side.”
The Black Yin Ancestor gave a cold and sinister smile.
Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting said nothing in reply, but the Righteous Alliance members behind them exploded.
“You dare! Putting aside everything else, we’ll kill the members of your Five Ancestor Alliance first!” a Righteous Alliance disciple said in agitation.
“Hmph, what’s there to be afraid of?!”
“Everyone heard the ancestor’s order! In just a little while, we’ll kill these members of the Righteous Alliance until their blood flows like rivers!” the Five Ancestor Alliance disciples on the other side shot back.
Luo Qiyin is truly a crafty rascal. This is quite the mess now!
w.a.n.g Chong remained motionless, continuing to watch from the sidelines.
His situation had originally been extremely bad, but with the appearance of the Five Ancestor Alliance and Righteous Alliance, he now had a chance of survival.
w.a.n.g Chong decided that it was best to just keep his mouth shut and watch.
But as the cave resounded with shouts and roars, a jeering and ghostly voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Cease your quarreling! Today, all of you will die here!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Countless figures suddenly rushed into the cave.
These people were wearing white masks and wearing black robes similar to those of the men in black. But their sleeves, collars, and the capes on their backs were all embroidered with golden thread. Moreover, on their chests was the round Yin Yang Wuji symbol, and beneath it was a large word embroidered in golden thread.
‘Origin’!
It’s them!
While the Righteous Alliance and Five Ancestor Alliance were still sizing up these newcomers, w.a.n.g Chong saw the Yin Yang Wuji symbol and the word emblazoned on their chests, and instantly recognized them.
The symbols on their chests were practically identical to the symbol on the robe of the guardian of the Origin Immortal Palace. There were only a few very minor differences.
w.a.n.g Chong had instantly recognized who they were, but he had never imagined that this mysterious faction who had operated the Origin Immortal Formation and used it to kill so many martial artists would appear in this fas.h.i.+on.
Boom! The three bamboo hat men and their subordinates instantly paled.
Like a hungry wolf meeting a fierce tiger, they stared at the Origin Immortal Villagers as if they were facing a great foe.
Whoos.h.!.+ The hundreds of Origin Immortal Villagers began to part, allowing a figure with a mighty aura on par with the Lone Silence Ancestor and Black Yin Ancestor to step forward.
Unlike the others, they wore a silver robe, and the Yin Yang symbol on their chest exuded an aura that was n.o.ble and graceful, yet also incomparably powerful.
“Yellow Scarf Warrior, your lot had better not think about leaving today either!” the silver-robed chief of the Origin Immortal Village declared.
Their face was covered in a mysterious golden mask, but the voice coming from beneath the mask was that of a woman. It was dignified and cold, the voice of a ruler seated high above.
Her blazing eyes instantly landed on the bamboo hat leader as she spoke his name.
“Heh, we finally meet. Even though you hid your movements and disguised yourself in all sorts of ways, in the end, you still had to appear before us,” the bamboo hat leader suddenly said, his expression not one bit panicked.
They know each other!
w.a.n.g Chong acted the part of the bystander, and as he gazed at the two groups, he seemed to think of something and frowned.
The situation was getting more and more confusing. w.a.n.g Chong had thought that the three bamboo hat men had come for him, but it now appeared that this was not entirely the case. These guardians of the Origin Immortal Treasury had earlier used the array to kill countless people to protect the treasury, and after that, they had killed even more deep within this pit.
w.a.n.g Chong had thought that these two groups were completely unrelated and had no knowledge of each other, but it now seemed like they had known each other for some time.
Just what is going on here?
w.a.n.g Chong’s mind was in turmoil.
Rather than saying that the guardians of the Origin Immortal Treasury had appeared for the martial artists, they had actually appeared because of the men in black. He came to this conclusion because he had noticed that their chief’s eyes had been on the three bamboo hat men this entire time.
This clearly indicated who their main target was.
The G.o.d organization is behind the men in black. Could it be that the guardians of the Origin Immortal Treasury also have some sort of secret? No! To be more accurate, it should be the Origin Immortal Lord. Because everything here was created by the Origin Immortal Lord.
w.a.n.g Chong mused to himself. He once more recalled the unique apocalyptic symbol in the Origin Immortal Formation. He had an intense feeling that this was no longer a simple treasure hunt. There was some unfathomably large secret lurking beneath it all.
That Origin Immortal Lord from a thousand years ago probably had many, many secrets that the martial arts world knew nothing about.
As t.i.tans of the martial arts world, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, Myriad Ghost Ancestor, Bone Devil Ancestor, and the Lone Silence Ancestor had sensed just as much as w.a.n.g Chong had.
“Don’t make any reckless movements. Let’s wait and see.”
The Bone Devil Ancestor’s eyes s.h.i.+fted as he messaged the other two ancestors.
On the other side, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting exchanged glances and then glanced at the other two groups. After many years of tacit communication, these two leaders of the righteous path only needed to exchange a look to understand what the other was thinking.
At this moment, the Righteous Alliance, Five Ancestor Alliance, and w.a.n.g Chong had all been ‘marginalized’, turned into mere spectators. The men in black and the Origin Immortal Villagers had become the center of attention.
Neither group was simple!
This was a thought that everyone shared.
All of them sensed that some ma.s.sive secret was concealed behind the curtain of this treasure hunt.
“It’s no longer important that I’ve appeared, because it is guaranteed that all of you will remain here forever. Did you not drive those martial artists into serving as your vanguard precisely so you could test our capabilities, so that they could die for you while you stole the treasure left behind by the Immortal Lord?” the chief of the Origin Immortal Village said.
Buzz!
Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, Bone Devil Ancestor, Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and the Lone Silence Ancestor next to w.a.n.g Chong all trembled in shock, a sharp light in their eyes.
“Alliance Lord…” Sikong Yuanjia thought of something and whispered into Song Yuanyi’s ear, but he was immediately cut off.
“Remain quiet for now. Let’s continue to watch,” Song Yuanyi said. Almost instinctively, Song Yuanyi had sensed something in this conversation.
This adventure seemed to conceal a secret that not even the leaders of the martial arts world knew about. Based on the words of these Origin Immortal Guardians, they had apparently been used.
The hitherto-silent Myriad Ghost Ancestor finally spoke. “Old Five, something doesn’t seem right.”
“嗯。”
“Mm.” The Black Yin Ancestor nodded, his voice extremely soft. “We’ve all been renowned in the martial arts world for several decades, and there are very few experts of this world that we don’t know about. But we’ve never even heard of these two factions before. It would be one thing if they were weak and nameless, but neither group is easy to deal with. From a certain perspective, they’re even more formidable than the righteous and evil paths. This should normally be impossible.
“Let’s not alarm them. We can just keep watching and see if they reveal anything else. For such a large faction to remain completely unknown truly makes one uneasy!”
The Black Yin Ancestor’s words made his comrades also feel uneasy. These people truly were well-hidden to an unsettling extent.
Both groups had clearly completely forgotten about w.a.n.g Chong. Song Yuanyi, the Black Yin Ancestor, and the other martial artists were all focused on the two mysterious groups. The rest were just small fry who had been caught up in these events.
“Haha, if we didn’t do that, how would we draw you out? You’ve been hidden for so many years like a mouse in a gully. How disgusting! How contemptible! Isn’t it normal to use such minor tricks to deal with you?” The bamboo hat leader sinisterly smiled, completely unworried.
An Origin Immortal elder thrust a finger at the three bamboo hat men and roared, “Despicable! If my guess is right, you were the ones who made the fake treasure maps precisely so that those martial artists would come here and sacrifice their lives for you. You’ve used this trick again and again, for the last several hundred years! Truly shameless!”
Bang!
The men in black said nothing, but the Righteous Alliance, Five Ancestor Alliance, w.a.n.g Chong, and the Lone Silence Ancestor were all stunned.
I didn’t think that the fake Origin Immortal Art treasure maps… were actually their handiwork!
For the first time, surprise and stupefaction appeared in w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes.
