Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

Inside the dilapidated temple, it was pitch black.

By the moonlight, Jiang Yuan could see the situation inside the temple.

The temple was small, with a dilapidated statue in the center and an offering table in front of it, covered in dust.

Scattered on the ground were some straw and rags, as well as a few wine jars.

All of this seemed quite ordinary.

Jiang Yuan frowned, doubting that his guess was wrong.

Is it really just a coincidence that Xue Tu is here?

Is this just an ordinary, dilapidated temple?

Jiang Yuan didn't rush to leave, but closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings.

His innate sword physique endowed him not only with swordsmanship talent, but also with a perception far more acute than that of ordinary people.

He could sense a faint, elusive aura emanating from the dilapidated temple.

"Could this be it?"

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the statue at the front. The statue's eyes seemed to be staring at him, which looked a bit strange.

Could it be a government agency?

Jiang Yuan's heart stirred, and he reached out and tapped the eyes of the statue.

dong dong dong-

The next moment, the statue began to tremble and then started to rotate in place, revealing a deep passage underneath.

The passage was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see how deep it was.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still jumped in. After walking for about fifteen minutes, the view suddenly opened up before him!

This is an underground stone chamber, not large, but filled with things.

Gold and silver treasures, elixirs and spirit stones, cultivation techniques and secret manuals, weapons and armor—the list goes on and on!

This inventory is probably comparable to the city lord's treasury.

Jiang Yuan gasped, his eyes wide with shock: "This...this could be the Blood Robe Sect's treasure vault?"

No wonder.

No wonder the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect and the black market all want a piece of the pie; the collection here is so rich!

How many people did these sorcerers kill?

"Who's inside?"

Just then, a loud shout rang out from the entrance of the passage, followed by several more figures filing in, creating a very large commotion.

"It was discovered so quickly?"

Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly understood.

This is Xue Tu's scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Knowing he was no match for the combined forces of the Qingxuan Sect and the Black Market, he feigned defeat and fled, but secretly sent people back to move the treasures here.

What a brilliant plan!

Jiang Yuan's eyes were sharp. He hid in the corner of the stone chamber, his Changqing sword quietly in his hand, waiting for the other party to come to him.

"Strange, nobody's here?"

Before long, several blood-clad slaves entered the stone chamber, looked around, but found no one.

"That's impossible, the statues up there were clearly opened."

"Who is it?"

"Be careful, this person might still be here."

Just as the group was talking.

Swish!

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared, and a figure emerged like a ghost, the sword still flashing past in the darkness.

Immediately following was a scream.

"Ahhh!!"

Several blood-clad slaves were killed by Jiang Yuan in an instant, so fast that it was almost instantaneous, leaving the other party no time to react.

"Am I dead?"

A blood-stained slave, his head severed from his body, looked at his own body falling down with disbelief on his face.

That sword is too fast.

"This place is not safe to stay for long."

After killing several people, Jiang Yuan sheathed his sword and continued walking inside, intending to take some treasures and leave.

Just then, he discovered a strange sword case.

The sword case is ancient and worn, with intricate patterns carved on it and a faint aura emanating from it; it is clearly not an ordinary object.

"Could it be a real treasure?"

Jiang Yuan's heart stirred, and he reached out to pick up the sword box. He examined it for a while but found nothing unusual.

However, he was quite certain.

This must be an extremely rare and genuine treasure.

The so-called true treasure is a treasure powered by true qi, specially crafted for martial artists, and its value is immeasurable.

Never mind, just take it first!

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan put the sword box into his pocket and turned to leave.

Besides the sword box, he also took some pills and cultivation techniques that looked quite valuable, but left everything else untouched.

It's not that I don't want to take it, it's that I can't take it.

He can't get it.

Once everyone realizes what's happening, this place will be discovered sooner or later.

Whether the Blood Robe Cult returns to fight back, or the Azure Profound Sect and the Black Market return to investigate, he will find it difficult to escape.

Too much to chew.

If he's going to take something, he can only take the most valuable thing!

Only then can we evacuate quickly!

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly stepped on a strange floor tile, the color of which seemed a little different.

dong dong——

The next moment, the wall at the end of the stone chamber opened to both sides, revealing another passage!

"hiss!"

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he never expected that the treasure room would have another secret, which was truly astonishing.

This passage is narrower and darker than the previous one.

Could there be an even better treasure?

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still went inside.

My baby is right in front of me.

If Heaven does not grant it, how can one take it? If Heaven grants it and one does not take it, one will surely suffer the consequences!

After Jiang Yuan went inside, he heard a loud bang as the hidden door behind him closed again.

"Is there no way out?"

Jiang Yuan frowned, not expecting the mechanism to be so ingenious.

The passage was long and winding. He walked for about half an hour but still couldn't get out, as if it had no end.

Another half hour passed.

Finally, light appeared ahead.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and carefully walked out of the passage, only to suddenly find that the place in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

He looked up and his expression changed.

This is actually the backyard of the city lord's mansion!

"this......"

Jiang Yuan's hair stood on end, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

Is the Demonic Cult's Treasury directly connected to the City Lord's Mansion?

Damn it, is this something he should know?

correct!

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

Given the power of the City Lord's Mansion, it would be impossible for them to allow such a Blood Robe Cult force to commit crimes in the city, let alone leave the matter to Jianghu retainers.

Unless, someone secretly tacitly approved it...

Jiang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and dared not think any further.

We must leave, we have to leave immediately!

...

By the time Jiang Yuan returned to the teahouse, it was almost dawn.

Without alerting anyone, he quietly returned to his room and closed the door.

Then, he took the sword case out of his bosom.

Jiang Yuan examined them carefully and discovered that these patterns were not decorations, but some kind of array seal.

He tried to channel his inner energy.

A faint halo appeared on the surface of the sword case, but it quickly disappeared.

It still won't open.

This is probably why the box was left in this stone chamber; Xue Tu and the others also didn't know how to open the sword box.

Just then, a line of ethereal text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! A genuine treasure has been detected.]

[Seven Kill Sword Box (Superior Treasure): This box is made of divine wood from the South Sea, making it indestructible. It contains seven flying swords painstakingly crafted by a grandmaster of swordsmanship, which can be activated with sword intent.]

Holy crap?

Jiang Yuan was startled. Was this sword box of such great origin?

Only those at the middle three realms or above are considered martial arts grandmasters. So what kind of existence dares to be called a sword grandmaster?

Such a being could probably rank among the top five in the entire Great Qian Kingdom.

They're all just legendary figures...

"I made a profit."

Jiang Yuan's eyes gleamed with excitement. This adventure hadn't ended in vain; on the contrary, he had made a fortune.
