Chapter 89

Once again, the seven engaged in a fierce battle. However, at this point, the six people including Jellyfish Yin had truly begun to attack in unison, thus putting Dongfang Bubai at a disadvantage.

However, for some reason, Dongfang Bubai did not draw the white-sharpened sword that everyone feared so much. Moreover, his speed was so fast that even though he was at a disadvantage, he was not in any immediate danger.

On the other side, Gu Santong and his four companions also experienced significant changes in the secret passage of Liancheng's treasure.

Gu Santong and Huo Xiu had already arrived on the other side. Huo Xiu was a cunning old fox; he had no confidence in defeating Gu Santong, so he did not take the initiative to attack, only guarding against Gu Santong's sudden move.

Gu Santong, however, watched with high spirits as Dongfang Bubai fought against six opponents, showing no signs of attacking. However, his mind was already on high alert, secretly guarding.

Yan Shisan and Ximen Chui雪 only watched for a while before they no longer paid attention to others, focusing only on each other. The coldness in their bodies grew, a coldness that was both a chilling intent to kill and a coldness that showed their indifference to life.

A pure coldness, carrying the unique chill of the sword itself.

As the coldness spread, the sword intent of both grew stronger, clashing in the air. The sound of invisible sword intent colliding echoed continuously, and with each clash, their sword intent became more refined and powerful.

Although the process was slow, they were indeed getting stronger. Therefore, the two did not actually draw their swords but instead competed with their sword intent, testing their understanding of the sword.

More than two miles away, Ren Woxing and his companions had already set up their formation, ready to attack at any moment, while also constantly observing the battle between Dongfang Bubai and the others.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's overwhelming power against six opponents, they were greatly inspired. Even when Dongfang Bubai was suppressed, they were not worried at all, for everyone knew that Dongfang Bubai's strongest weapon was the white-sharpened sword.

There was a reason he did not draw the sword, and they only needed to follow orders.

Eight miles away from Tianning Temple, Jin Jiuling led a large number of troops, including the Jingzhou city garrison and his own subordinates, totaling about five thousand people, half of whom were on horseback.

Looking in the direction of Tianning Temple, his face turned dark and uncertain. Finally, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision, sitting quietly on his horse, seemingly waiting for something.

In the secret passage, tens of thousands of people rushed in, and fewer people outside were grabbing the gold. They all rushed deep into the passage, wanting the best.

The disciples of the six major forces led the way, delving deeper into the passage. The deeper they went, the wider the passage became, eventually allowing dozens of people to walk side by side. Along the way, there were large boxes everywhere, filled with gold and other precious jewels.

Even with the resources of the six major forces, they could not help but be dazzled, but they all strictly followed their leaders' orders to find the "Shenzhao Jing" at the deepest point and then seize the treasure.

So they continued down the passage without stopping, but the members of the alliance could not resist. Many knew they could not get the most valuable items, so after delving in a bit, they started grabbing the treasure.

However, everyone knew there was plenty of gold and treasure, so no one resorted to violence. As a result, the number of people advancing in the alliance gradually decreased, with most grabbing the gold and treasure.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they were about 300 meters underground. The disciples of the six major forces finally arrived at a huge cave, the final hiding place of Liancheng's treasure.

The cave was very large, with over a dozen night pearls embedded in the ceiling, and the light from the gold and treasure made the cave bright.

The cave could have held over ten thousand people without feeling crowded, but the amount of gold and treasure was so great that it was piled up like mountains, leaving only enough space for about three thousand people.

On either side were two smaller connected caves, one filled with various weapons, the other with more gold and treasure.

In the central cave, at the far end, there was a platform where a metal box was quietly placed.

The leaders of the six major forces knew this was the "Shenzhao Jing," a heavenly-level cultivation technique, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

Only Xiang E of Zunxin Sect was somewhat disappointed, as he knew his sect leader was out of the game and could not obtain the "Shenzhao Jing." They were only here to get a share of the treasure.

The leaders of the six major forces exchanged glances and made a decision to first seal the entire cave. As for the gold and treasure outside, they would let the mob take it.

Thinking this, they went forward, took the metal box, and each force sent one person to jointly guard it.

Unfortunately, they underestimated human greed. Although there was a lot of gold and treasure outside, the alliance had over twenty thousand people, and when divided, each person would get very little.

Moreover, the alliance had several grandmasters and a large number of independent cultivators, whose goal was also the "Shenzhao Jing." Therefore, a conflict was inevitable.

"What? Do you six major forces want to keep it all to yourselves?" A Seventh-Stage Xiantian person from the alliance shouted angrily at the six major forces blocking their way.

"Hmph! There's enough outside for you to share. The inside naturally belongs to us six major forces. Do you want to be our enemies?" A person of high status from the six major forces shouted back without hesitation.

"You!" The Seventh-Stage Xiantian person was very angry, but thinking of the six major forces, he reluctantly closed his mouth. Compared to the massive six major forces, he was too weak.

Many people in the alliance also hesitated, as opposing the six major forces was not a good choice.

"Hmph!" Suddenly, a grandmaster-level old man from the alliance coldly snorted, "You six major forces are too domineering. How can we divide this little treasure among so many people?"

"Right, Senior Mu is right. How can we divide it among so many people?"

"Move out of the way, we want to go in too!"

"You can't be so domineering! Move out of the way!"

...

...

With a grandmaster speaking, the alliance members immediately gained courage and started shouting.

"Hmph, do you want to start a war with us six major forces?" A woman of high status from Shuisheng Palace angrily threatened.

"Ha ha ha! Your leaders are still battling Dongfang Bubai, and it's not certain they will win. So what if we start a war?" Another grandmaster from the alliance coldly laughed.

The alliance members thought about it and realized it was true. Their fear of the six major forces diminished, and their greedy desires increased.

The people of the six major forces, however, all looked grim and glared at the grandmaster.

At this moment, the leaders of the six major forces in the cave learned of the commotion outside and immediately rushed over.

Upon arrival, both sides had another tense exchange. The six major forces looked down on the alliance and would not let them take more treasure.

The alliance members, however, were filled with greed and, given the current situation, were not willing to back down.

Both sides glared at each other, and a battle was imminent.

After an unknown amount of time...

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a person from the alliance fell to the ground, screaming and foaming at the mouth, convulsing violently, and showing signs of mental confusion.

Everyone was shocked and quickly realized it was poisoning.

"You dared to use poison!" A grandmaster from the alliance angrily shouted at the six major forces.

The people of the six major forces looked at each other, confused.

"Ah! Spurt!"

Suddenly, a person from the six major forces also screamed, foaming at the mouth, in the same condition as the person from the alliance.

This time, everyone was stunned.

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

"Spurt!!!"

...

...

In a short time, many people from both the alliance and the six major forces were in the same condition. The same thing was happening throughout the passage, and more and more people were affected, causing panic.

"What's going on?" A Ninth-Stage Xiantian expert from Shuisheng Palace shouted in panic.

"Where is the poison? How did we get poisoned?" The grandmaster surnamed Mu from the alliance asked in shock.
