The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 388 The Secret Treasure Located in the Southern Territory, the Explorers' Team Coveting Nangong Xihe, Is There Something Wrong with the Secret Treasure?

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Then tell me the basic information first."

Lu Ye was not surprised by Saintess Xihe's concerns.

In this world, those who are weaker than others certainly need to consider more things.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Subsequently, Saintess Xihe told Lu Ye some information, such as how to open the secret treasure with the Starfall Spirit Sword and the general layout of the levels inside.

"As for the location, if you have time now, just come with me," said Saintess Xihe.

The Holy Maiden Xihe has been waiting for this secret treasure for several months.

She came here, and although the main reason was to stay in Yunye City for a while before returning to Yunzhou, she also had a glimmer of hope.

There is plenty of time.

Therefore, as long as Lu Ye's schedule matches, the two can set off immediately.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment. There were still nearly three months until the opening of the Yunyao Secret Realm. In terms of the schedule, there were definitely no problems, so he nodded.

"I can."

"Alright! Let's set off now." Clenching her fist excitedly, Saintess Xihe felt that coming to Yunye City was definitely the right decision.

This is the foresight of Nangong Xihe!
A moment later, two figures left from the grove.

Lu Ye still wore the mask that Chen Beixuan had worn before. This mask had appeared before Nangong Xihe when they were fighting for the Starfall Spirit Sword, so there was no problem using it again.

For the rest of the journey, Lu Ye didn't ask any more questions and simply followed behind Nangong Xihe calmly.

Soon, the two flew to the border between the Northern Territory and other realms.

Saintess Xihe explained softly, "This secret realm is not in the Northern Territory, but in the Southern Territory."

Southern Territory?

Of the four realms of Xuanzhou, Lu Ye has already visited the other three.

As for the Southern Territory, I have never been there before, and I am unfamiliar with its situation.

Upon hearing that this opportunity was in the Southern Territory, Lu Ye became slightly interested.

Hearing Xihe Saintess's words, Lu Ye asked, "I wonder how Fairy Nangong knew about this secret treasure?"

They had already introduced themselves to each other halfway there.

Of course, Nangong Xihe could not reveal her entire background. She only said that her name was Nangong Xihe and did not say that she was a saintess from the Xuantian Dao Sect in Yunzhou.

"A secret obtained by chance." After a moment's thought, Saintess Xihe asked, "What about your...lover?"

Lu Ye: “?”

What kind of lover?
Seeing a hint of doubt on Lu Ye's face, Saintess Xihe thought for a moment and decided not to ask any further questions.

She felt that the man in front of her had selectively and deliberately forgotten.

After all, having a bad stomach... isn't something to brag about.

Because the exploration involves a secret treasure related to the Starfall Sword, and the dangers within are unknown, it is necessary to maintain a high level of physical strength.

After entering the southern territory, the two rested for about an hour, meditating to recover, before continuing their journey.

In the hands of the Holy Maiden Xihe was a very ancient map, which she used to adjust her course.

Lu Ye initially thought that she was deliberately creating a diversion to keep him from knowing where the real secret location was.

But as he kept changing directions, Lu Ye gradually discovered...

There's no such thing as deep thought involved. It seems she's simply... unsure of where the opportunity lies.

"No... don't you know the location?" Lu Ye's eyes looked a little strange.

Under normal circumstances, even without the crucial Starfall Spirit Sword as the key,

But even with a map, one should first conduct an on-site investigation to see the situation around the hidden treasure.

Nangong Xihe's current appearance clearly shows that she is completely clueless and has to rely entirely on groping around on the spot.

This wasn't to prevent him from figuring out the route; it was because even they themselves didn't know it.

Nangong Xihe: "..."

Right, why didn't she think of coming over to scout out the terrain first and pinpoint the exact location of the opportunity?

That's a good reminder, I'll definitely do it next time!
Without a clear destination, the two could only wander around the southern lands for the next two days, trying to find the location marked on the map.

This map is something that cannot be casually inquired about from anyone familiar with the southern border.

Even if only a portion is rubbed, it could attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the landmark marked on this map is a twin-peaked mountain that resembles Camel Peak, making it relatively easy to identify.

Five days later, the two finally found such a mountain peak.

"That's right... everything makes sense!"

Nangong Xihe pulled out the old map again and shouted happily three times.

Several landmark details on the map matched perfectly.

"follow me."

At this moment, Nangong Xihe regained her confidence, waved to Lu Ye behind her, and took the lead to rush forward.

After about half a cup of tea's time, the two entered the mountain range and began to move towards the mountains.

When they bypassed the mountain road and arrived at the central part of the mountain range, they unexpectedly encountered another team of three.

None of the three were particularly strong; two were at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, and one was at the early stage of the Innate Realm. They appeared to be an adventurer team.

When he saw Lu Ye and Nangong Xihe entering the mountain, especially when he saw the masked but perfectly proportioned Nangong Xihe, his eyes lit up.

They were currently in the middle of nowhere, and Lu Ye's cultivation level was only at the second level of the Acquired Realm.

This level of cultivation is not bad in a small town, enough to open a martial arts school and teach martial arts. But for the three of them, it's just a toy.
Upon seeing the slender and graceful Nangong Xihe, the three men began to harbor wicked thoughts.

As the three people slowly walked towards her, Nangong Xihe immediately raised an eyebrow.

What brings you here?

"You two look unfamiliar; you're probably not frequent explorers of this mountain range," said the fat man in the middle of the three. "We three brothers do know that something unusual has been happening in these mountains lately!"

"However, due to a lack of manpower, we haven't been able to investigate. Meeting you all today is a kind of fate. If you are interested, how about we go together?"

Upon hearing these words, Nangong Xihe was startled.

Is there something unusual about this mountain range?
Is something wrong at this place of chance?
If that's the case, it's really not good. As the news continues to spread, it will inevitably attract more and more people.

"What should we do? Could there be a problem with the secret treasure land?" Nangong Xihe asked Lu Ye telepathically.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye said, "These two are at the Acquired Realm, and one is at the Innate Realm... Let's go to the location he mentioned and take a look before making a decision."

After transmitting her voice, Nangong Xihe showed a hint of difficulty on the surface and looked at Lu Ye beside her.

"I need to ask him first..."
