Fang Yue's words were filled with unquestionable determination. He quickly glanced at the surrounding environment and quickly thought of a response strategy in his mind. The appearance of these mysterious people was by no means accidental. They were probably the remnants of the "Shadow Alliance" or other forces that had plotted against the treasure.

"Everyone be careful, these people are well-trained and we must not underestimate the enemy." Fang Yue reminded the soldiers in a low voice, while secretly adjusting the team formation to ensure that they could cope with the upcoming battle.

Seeing this, the mysterious leader sneered: "Fang Yue, do you think you can stop us with these people? You are too confident."

"Whether you are confident or not, you won't know until you try." While answering, Fang Yue quietly winked at a soldier beside him. The soldier immediately understood and retreated quietly into the depths of the cave, apparently to seek support or set a trap.

The battle was about to break out, and the two sides clashed in an instant. Fang Yue was agile, his sword flashed like lightning, and every strike was precise and powerful. In an instant, several mysterious men fell down. Under his command, the soldiers also cooperated tacitly and formed an indestructible front.

However, there were many mysterious people, and each of them was very powerful, so the battle gradually became stalemate. Fang Yue knew that this was not a solution, and he had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, followed by a violent shaking of the ground. Fang Yue was delighted, knowing that the soldiers sent earlier had successfully triggered the pre-arranged mechanism.

"Retreat!" Fang Yue shouted and led the soldiers to retreat quickly to the depths of the cave, while using the chaos created by the mechanism to create obstacles for the mysterious man.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious leader's face changed and he immediately ordered a pursuit, but the complex terrain and endless traps in the cave made it difficult for them to move forward, so they had to slow down.

Fang Yue and his group took this opportunity to rush all the way and finally reached the deepest part of the cave. There was a secret passage hidden there, leading directly to the outside world, which was the retreat route they had explored in advance.

"Let's go quickly. We shouldn't stay here for long." Fang Yue urged. The group quickly passed through the secret passage and left the cave.

When they walked out of the other exit, they found that there was a dense forest outside, far away from the valley. Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the mysterious man.

"Master Fang, what should we do next?" asked a soldier.

Just as he was about to leave, Fang Yue suddenly stopped. He frowned and fell into deep thought. Although he had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the mysterious man, he knew that these people would never give up. Once the news of the treasure spread, it might cause more trouble.

"We can't just go back like this."

Fang Yue said slowly: "These people have repeatedly opposed me. I can't always deal with them passively. I should take the initiative to attack!"

Fang Yue immediately made up his mind, and asked his soldiers to take away the spoils, while he left the group alone.

Fang Yue decided to act alone. He knew that in order to completely resolve the threat of this mysterious force, he had to take the initiative to find their source and destroy it in one fell swoop. He asked the soldiers to return with the harvest of this expedition, and he went alone into the forest to start tracking and investigating.

Fang Yue used his familiarity with the terrain and excellent tracking skills to approach the hiding place of the mysterious force step by step.

The forest was filled with a damp smell and the leaves rustled, as if telling of unknown dangers.

Fang Yue walked with steady steps, his eyes focused and sharp, not missing any possible clues.

From time to time he stopped and carefully observed the footprints and broken branches on the ground to determine the whereabouts of the mysterious man; from time to time he listened attentively to catch the subtle sounds coming from afar.

In this silent forest, he was like a lonely hunter, patiently pursuing his prey.

Following the special fluctuation of vital energy, Fang Yue moved forward more cautiously. This fluctuation of vital energy was different from the ordinary, faintly revealing the breath of a mysterious force, which made him sure that he was heading in the right direction.

The light in the forest gradually dimmed. The dense branches and leaves blocked most of the sunlight, making the surrounding environment seem even more gloomy.

Soon, Fang Yue caught up with the group of people!

Fang Yue hid in the dark, calmly observing the mysterious group of people. They seemed to be discussing something nervously, their expressions revealed anxiety and uneasiness.

Fang Yue was thinking about his next move. He knew that it was not a wise move to rush out and confront them head-on, so he had to find a suitable opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

He paid attention to the mysterious men's every move, looking for their flaws. Suddenly, he found that one of the mysterious men left the team and walked towards a small path nearby. Fang Yue's mind moved and he decided to follow this mysterious man who was alone.

He followed quietly, keeping a certain distance. The mysterious man didn't seem to notice that he was being followed, and walked straight to a more remote place. Fang Yue took the opportunity to quickly approach the mysterious man, and suddenly subdued him when he was caught off guard.

The mysterious man looked at Fang Yue in horror, trying to struggle but unable to move. Fang Yue lowered his voice and asked, "What is your purpose? Where is your leader?" The mysterious man gritted his teeth and refused to answer.

Fang Yue's eyes turned cold and he increased the strength of his hands. "If you don't tell me, you will die here now." The mysterious man felt Fang Yue's determination and finally spoke.

"We are here for the treasure. The leader is in the central tent of the camp." The mysterious man said tremblingly.

Fang Yue got the information he wanted and had a plan in mind.

Fang Yue nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Very good, you made a wise choice." He quickly subdued the mysterious man, making sure he would not make any noise, and then left quietly, having already made the next action plan in his mind.

As the night deepened, the forest was shrouded in a layer of light black fog. Fang Yue used the darkness as a cover and quietly approached the mysterious man's camp. He was like a ghost, shuttling between the trees, avoiding the guards one by one, and gradually approaching the center of the camp.

Outside the central tent, several guards were patrolling back and forth, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Fang Yue was lurking in the dark, patiently waiting for the best opportunity to take action. Finally, when the guards changed shifts, he took advantage of this brief gap, flashed, appeared behind the tent like a ghost, and quietly dealt with the guards outside the tent.

Entering the tent, Fang Yue immediately felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere. The flickering candlelight in the tent revealed a figure sitting at a desk. It was the mysterious leader. The leader was studying a map with his head down, and seemed to be completely unaware of Fang Yue's intrusion.

"Your vigilance is really poor." Fang Yue said coldly. His voice echoed in the tent, breaking the original silence.

The leader looked up suddenly, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, then he quickly calmed down and sneered: "Fang Yue, you are here as expected. It seems that you know our purpose." "Yes, the secret of the treasure is not something you can get involved in." Fang Yue approached slowly, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.

The leader stood up and said, "Treasure? That is a reward for the strong. If you know what's good for you, just hand over everything you know, and maybe I can spare your life."

"Spare my life? You are too confident." Fang Yue sneered, stretched out his body, and launched an attack. The sword flashed like lightning, going straight to the leader's vital point.

The leader moved his body to the side, narrowly avoiding Fang Yue's fierce attack. At the same time, he drew out the long sword from his waist with his backhand. The sword flashed, and with a fierce aura, he slashed towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's sword moves were continuous, and each sword was aimed directly at the vital points. The sword light and the knife light intertwined in the tent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The two men were equally powerful, and their vital energy was running wild, causing sand and rocks to fly within an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius.

The vitality was surging, as if even the air was torn apart by this powerful force. The leader swung his long sword, and each blow was accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, obviously wanting to overwhelm others with force, while Fang Yue responded with flexible sword skills, and the tip of the sword drew beautiful arcs in the air. Every confrontation forced the leader to concentrate on responding.

As time went by, the battle between the two became more intense. The leader swung his sword, his vitality surging, trying to force Fang Yue into a desperate situation. However, Fang Yue shuttled between the sword lights like a dragon, his sword skills were steady and precise, and he could cleverly resolve the leader's attacks every time and look for opportunities to counterattack.

Suddenly, Fang Yue's eyes focused, and he discovered a flaw in the leader's swordsmanship.

He flashed and appeared at the leader's side like a ghost. The sword light suddenly surged and cut through the night sky like lightning.

The leader only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt a sharp sword energy coming towards him. He was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The sword flashed, and the leader's chest was pierced by Fang Yue's sword tip.

He opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that he would be defeated by Fang Yue.

However, the facts did not allow him to think too much. As Fang Yue shook his wrist, the tip of the sword spurted out a stream of blood, and the leader's body fell limply.

Fang Yue put away his sword and glanced coldly at the leader lying on the ground, without any fluctuation in his heart.

He knew that this battle was just the beginning and the real challenge was yet to come.

In the darkness of night, Fang Yue left the tent and quietly shuttled through the forest. He used his familiarity with the terrain to avoid the guards and continued to go deeper into the mysterious man's camp. He needed to find more clues to understand the source and purpose of this force in order to better deal with future challenges.

In the camp, Fang Yue found a lot of documents and information about this mysterious force.

Through these clues, he gradually pieced together a shocking truth: these people actually came from the Great Chu Dynasty!

The clues Fang Yue found in the camp shocked him. He didn't expect that this mysterious force was actually related to the Great Chu Dynasty. He knew the strength and ambition of the Great Chu Dynasty very well.

It seems that the previous peace talks were fake, and the delay was real.

Fang Yue thought to himself, and he realized that the purpose of this mysterious force from the Great Chu Dynasty was far more than just the treasure. There might be a deeper conspiracy behind them, and it might even be closely related to the internal politics and military expansion plan of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"It seems that I must pass this message back as soon as possible." Fang Yue thought to himself. He knew the importance of this information, which might be related to the safety of the country.

Therefore, Fang Yue decided not to investigate other details of this force in depth, but to return immediately and report this shocking discovery to the court.

Fang Yue was shocked. He had never expected that he would be discovered and surrounded by the rest of the mysterious forces just as he was about to leave. The torches around him suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire camp as bright as day. Dozens of mysterious people holding weapons slowly approached, their eyes revealing coldness and murderous intent.

"Fang Yue, you are here as expected. But do you think you can leave alive?" A cold voice came from the crowd. Fang Yue looked closely and found that it was a senior member of the mysterious force. He had a sneer on his face, and it was obvious that he knew Fang Yue's whereabouts very well.

Fang Yue quickly calculated in his mind. He knew that it was not wise to fight hard at this time. He had to find a way to break through and bring this important information back to the court.

"Humph, you guys think you can stop me?" Fang Yue snorted coldly, pretending to be contemptuous to distract the other party. At the same time, he quietly tightened his sword in his hand, ready to find an opportunity to break out.

Seeing this, the top leaders of the mysterious force sneered and said, "Fang Yue, don't be too confident. Today, this is where you will be buried."

After saying that, he gave an order and dozens of mysterious men launched an attack at the same time, weapons clashing, and vital energy surging, rushing towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue dodged the first wave of attacks like a ghost. His sword flashed like lightning, and each strike was precise and powerful. In an instant, several mysterious people fell. However, the opponent had a large number of people, and each of them was very strong. Fang Yue gradually felt the pressure doubled.

He knew that this was not a solution. He had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible and break out.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly remembered the secret passage he had discovered before. That passage led directly to the outside world and was the retreat route he had explored in advance.

Fang Yue suddenly decided to use the secret passage as a breakthrough point. He waved his sword to block the mysterious man's attack while quickly moving towards the secret passage.

The high-ranking official of the mysterious power immediately realized Fang Yue's intention upon seeing this. He shouted, "Quickly stop him! Don't let him get away!"

However, Fang Yue's swordsmanship was so exquisite that he shuttled through the crowd like a flash of lightning. Every time he swung his sword, he could accurately find the opponent's flaws. In an instant, several mysterious people fell down.

Finally, Fang Yue arrived at the entrance of the secret passage. He was delighted and immediately rushed into the passage like a ghost.

The mysterious forces were horrified when they saw this, and they immediately sent people to chase him, but it was too late. Fang Yue rushed along the secret passage and soon arrived in the outside world. (End of this chapter)
