Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Let's attack together!" The young man waved his hand and led everyone to attack.

The middle-aged man stood next to the treasure chest, did not take any action, but just watched the melee coldly.

The battle was about to break out, and the two sides launched a fierce confrontation. Lin Feng's long sword slashed at the enemy like a storm, and every blow was accurate and powerful; Su Yu's arrows were like deadly meteors, and every shot was accurate and correct; Qin Yang's giant axe was amazingly powerful, and every slash could shock everyone; Li Feng and Liu Qing used magic to support their companions, making the enemy's offensive frustrated again and again.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the group of disciples. The young man fell in a pool of blood, breathing weakly.

The middle-aged man walked forward slowly and looked at the person lying on the ground with complicated eyes: "I didn't expect you to do such a thing..."

"Uncle Master...you..." The young man coughed twice in pain, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed, and then turned to look at Lin Feng and others: "Thanks to you this time, now please step aside, I will handle this matter."

"Okay." Lin Feng signaled everyone to step back a few steps, but their eyes were still fixed on the treasure chest, waiting for what would happen next.

The middle-aged man slowly walked towards the treasure chest, stretched out a hand and placed it on the lid, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the lid. A dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire hall...

The moment the middle-aged man opened the treasure chest, a dazzling golden light surged out like a tide, instantly covering the entire hall in a sacred and brilliant light. Everyone's eyes were slightly narrowed by the sudden light, and they couldn't help but marvel at the power contained in it.

"What, what is this?" Su Yu covered her eyes with her hands and asked in disbelief.

The golden light gradually dissipated, revealing the contents of the treasure chest. The treasure chest was filled with all kinds of treasures: shining gems, ancient rune scrolls, exquisite weapons... and a fist-sized crystal clear gem that seemed to emit endless energy fluctuations.

"This really is the legendary treasure!" Qin Yang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes full of shock and greed.

The middle-aged man looked solemn, and slowly reached out his hand to pick up the crystal ball. At this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of noise and footsteps coming from outside the passage, followed by a large number of people rushing in, each with a crazy look on their face.

"Treasure!" A burly man in the lead shouted loudly, his eyes full of greed and madness, "Everyone, come on! Whoever gets the treasure will be the master here!"

Lin Feng frowned and looked back at his companions: "Something is wrong, we have to be careful."

Su Yu immediately drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the intruder vigilantly: "Prepare for battle!"

The disciples of Changsheng Sect also drew their weapons at the first moment and gathered around the master uncle to form a solid line of defense. However, these intruders were obviously not ordinary people. They were all very skilled and quickly dispersed and launched a fierce attack on them.

Suddenly, the whole hall was in chaos, with swords crisscrossing, arrows flying, and people falling down in the midst of the flashes of swords and sabers. The bloody smell mixed with the sound of killing filled the entire space.

The long sword in Lin Feng's hand danced like the wind, every movement was so smooth and natural, and every sword went straight to the enemy's vital point; Su Yu's arrows were always accurate, and the arrows were like deadly meteors that pierced through the darkness; Qin Yang's giant axe chopped down with a strong wind, and every strike could make the opponent lose its combat effectiveness; Li Feng and Liu Qing used spells to support their companions and suppressed the enemy with elemental power.

As the fierce battle was in full swing, a figure suddenly approached the middle-aged man silently. He was the young man who had been defeated before. His face was covered in blood, and he was holding a dark dagger, stabbing the middle-aged man fiercely!

“Uncle-master, this is what happens to you!” the young man roared, his eyes almost emitting fire.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was startled and shouted, "Be careful!" Then he jumped up and blocked the young man. The two of them immediately fought with each other, and sparks flew.

The middle-aged man took the opportunity to step back and protect the crystal ball in the treasure chest. "Everyone stop!" he shouted, "This treasure belongs to everyone, we shouldn't kill each other for it!"

However, driven by greed, the crowd turned a deaf ear and continued to fight for the treasure. Blood flowed on the floor, screams continued to ring out, and the scene became more and more tragic.

At this moment, Liu Qing suddenly thought of something and rushed forward to grab the middle-aged man's hand: "Wait, I seem to remember seeing a passage on the stone tablet just now... saying that all the treasures here are illusions, and the real treasures are somewhere else!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped fighting involuntarily and looked at Liu Qing. She continued, "If we keep killing each other, we will only miss the real opportunity!"

There was a brief silence at the scene, with everyone's eyes searching for answers.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded, saying to everyone: "She is right. Since everyone is already here, why not listen to her advice? Put down your weapons and find the real treasure first."

After some thinking, some of the impulsive people gradually calmed down. In the end, everyone reached a temporary consensus and decided to cooperate in exploring this mysterious space.

At this moment, a faint and strange voice came from the depths of the distant passage. This voice seemed to come from a distant world, but it was extremely familiar.

"What is that sound?" Su Yu muttered softly, with a hint of confusion between her brows.

Lin Feng looked up at the passage and whispered, "No matter what it is, we must find out." Then he turned to his companions and said, "Let's go and see who it is!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this and decided to follow the strange voice. They walked through the hall and continued to go deeper along the passage. The passage became narrower and narrower, and the light around it became dimmer and dimmer, as if it led to an unknown abyss.

"There seems to be some secret hidden here." Lin Feng said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the front.

Su Yu drew the bow and arrow and followed closely behind: "Be careful, this sound doesn't seem to be natural."

Qin Yang and Li Feng also vigilantly clenched their weapons, while Liu Qing stayed close to the middle-aged man, ready to use magic at any time.

Gradually, they came to a larger cave. In the center of the cave was a huge stone platform, on which was placed a crystal ball that was gleaming with a dark red light. Around the stone platform, there were densely packed runes and spells.

"What is this?" Qin Yang asked in surprise, his eyes full of curiosity.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and carefully observed the runes: "These runes are very ancient and have obvious marks of the demon clan."

At this moment, the strange voice sounded again, this time more clearly: "You are finally here, it is not easy..."

Everyone looked around but could not find the exact location of the sound source. Suddenly, the crystal ball on the stone platform began to vibrate violently, and the light became stronger and stronger.

"Everyone, step back!" Lin Feng shouted, drew his sword, and prepared to fight. The light in the crystal ball became more and more dazzling, and finally suddenly exploded, and an illusory figure emerged from it. This figure was a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak and a gloomy face, with an evil light flashing in his eyes.

"Hello, I am the messenger of the Western Demon King." The man's voice was low and hoarse, making people feel creepy.

The middle-aged man immediately stood up and said coldly: "What are you doing here?"

The messenger sneered: "My master wants to invade the Eastern Immortal Cultivation World, and this precious land is the key. You have discovered our conspiracy and should have been killed, but my master gives you a chance - join us and rule the world together."

Lin Feng sneered: "Dream on! We will never betray our homeland."

Qin Yang also shouted angrily: "Don't even think about it! We will fight to the death to protect this land!"

Su Yu's arrow was ready to go, aiming at the phantom: "Tell us where your true identity is, and we will definitely find you!"

The messenger snorted coldly: "You are too naive. However, if that is the case, then let me show you my true power!"

After saying this, he waved his hands, and a powerful dark energy emanated from him, instantly filling the entire cave. At the same time, the runes on the four walls of the cave began to flicker, and the air around them became extremely heavy.

"Prepare for battle!" the middle-aged man shouted sternly, and a lightsaber condensed in his hand, ready to fight.

Li Feng and Liu Qing quickly chanted a spell, releasing a protective shield and attack spells to protect everyone. Qin Yang raised his giant axe and chopped it hard into the void, while Su Yu fired a series of arrows, aiming directly at the phantom.

The messenger let out a sharp laugh and turned into a black shadow, shuttling back and forth in the cave, continuously releasing powerful dark spells. Everyone resisted with all their might, and every collision shook the cave.

The battle lasted for a while, and despite their best efforts, they still could not cause any substantial damage to the phantom. At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly discovered that the runes on the stone platform seemed to have some kind of pattern, and he quickly rushed forward to try to unlock the secret of the runes.

"Uncle Master, what are you doing?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

The middle-aged man did not respond, but concentrated on unraveling the runes. The runes lit up one by one in his hands, emitting a dazzling light. Suddenly, the dark red crystal ball on the stone platform began to spin violently, the light became stronger and stronger, and finally suddenly exploded.

The messenger screamed in terror, and his body was instantly swallowed by the strong light and disappeared into the cave. The dark atmosphere in the cave also dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

"We succeeded!" Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and retracted the bow and arrow.

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at everyone: "This is just the beginning. We have exposed the conspiracy of the Western Demon King. What we need to do next is to stop them completely."

Lin Feng nodded, his eyes firm: "No matter what, we must protect this land and not let any evil forces invade."

Qin Yang waved the giant axe in his hand: "We can definitely do it!"

Su Yu and Li Feng also expressed their agreement, while Liu Qing smiled and cheered everyone on.

"Let's go, let's go back and inform the Elders Council and make comprehensive defense preparations." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded and set out on the road back together. They knew that the next battle would be a tough one, but they believed that as long as they worked together, nothing would be impossible.

At this moment, Liu Qing suddenly stopped and listened, frowning slightly: "Did you hear it? There is another unusual breath approaching..."

"Did everyone hear that? There is another unusual aura approaching..." Liu Qing frowned, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Feng immediately became alert and signaled everyone to stop: "Be careful, it could be a sneak attack from the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, a powerful dark energy swept in from the depths of the cave, like an invisible huge wave, instantly covering the entire space. Everyone immediately prepared for battle, with weapons and spells ready to go.

Then, a hoarse voice echoed in the cave: "Haha, do you think that you have escaped a disaster and everything will be fine? I am the Earth Demon, and I have been ordered to take your lives!"

A huge black shadow slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. It was tall, with bloodshot eyes, and a thick black aura lingering around it. It was none other than the legendary earth demon.

Lin Feng took the lead, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "Earth Demon, don't even think about taking another step forward!"

However, the demon sneered, and suddenly a huge black claw condensed in his hand, and swung it directly at Lin Feng. The claw was extremely fast and powerful. Although Lin Feng tried his best to dodge, he was still hit in the left arm, and blood immediately gushed out. The pain made him stagger back.

"Uncle Master, be careful!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and tried hard to steady himself.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately rushed forward and chopped the claws of the earth demon with his lightsaber, trying to relieve Lin Feng's pressure. At the same time, Su Yu and Qin Yang also joined the battle, shooting arrows and slashing the earth demon.

The earth demon roared and slapped the ground with both palms. A powerful dark energy burst out, instantly knocking Su Yu and Qin Yang away. The two fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

Li Feng and Liu Qing quickly chanted a spell, and a transparent protective shield enveloped everyone, barely resisting the attack of the earth demon. However, the power of the earth demon was too strong, and cracks began to appear in the protective shield.

"Everyone, we must retreat!" the middle-aged man shouted loudly, his eyes determined, "We can't fight him here!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to retreat towards the cave exit. The demons pressed on step by step, constantly attacking them with various dark spells, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Just as everyone was about to reach the exit, a faint voice suddenly came from the front: "Help...Help me..."

Everyone looked closely and saw a little girl lying on the ground, her face pale and obviously seriously injured. Lin Feng immediately stopped and looked at his companions with a determined look in his eyes.

"Master, you go first, I'll stay and take her away!" Lin Feng said firmly. (End of this chapter)
