Chapter 362 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"You've stored the Iron Tag away..."

Wu Kong stretched out his hand to Luo Jun: "Give me the token and the password!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jun shook his head and spread his hands. "I know the password, but the token isn't with me..."

"Not on you?" Wu Kong frowned, and suddenly, a feeling arose in his mind!

That was the location information he had buried in that Iron Tag. It suddenly appeared, showing that the Iron Tag was in Ganzhou!

This means someone has removed the Iron Tag!

But soon, the signal from the Iron Tag disappeared again!

"This..." Wu Kong immediately understood. At this very moment, someone in Ganzhou City had taken out the Iron Tag and used Iron Tag to retrieve the treasure he desired!

"You!" Wu Kong glared at Luo Jun, his eyes narrowing at the mocking look on the other's face.

Who exactly are you?

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. This was also a question he had been pondering for the past two days. Wu Kong's appearance, both in terms of timing and what he provided, was too coincidental. It was so coincidental that Luo Jun 100% certain that there was something fishy going on. In his mind, the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. The other party should know something about him, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do these things.

But unexpectedly, Wu Kong asked who he was?

"You don't even know who I am? And you gave me something so important?" Luo Jun's words were sincere, without a hint of sarcasm, but to Wu Kong, they sounded rather harsh...

He didn't actually know Luo Jun. He came to Ganzhou simply to retrieve Gong Shiyue's treasure. But now he only had the token, not the password, and was at a loss when faced with the Supreme Treasure Pavilion.

Fortunately, Wu Kong possessed a powerful treasure called the Divination Box. This device could print out divination slips to predict the future. Although the contents of the divination slips were often somewhat ambiguous, they were 100% accurate!

This magical artifact, capable of revealing the Law Treasure of heaven, not only consumes a great deal of vital energy but also has an extremely long cooldown period. After each use, one must wait seven days, so it is rarely used under normal circumstances. This time, in order to obtain Gong Shiyue's treasure, Wu Kong specially consulted the oracle.

In summary, the prophecy says that Wu Kong will encounter a petty thief the next day, a guy who can open the safe in the Supreme Treasure Pavilion.

Having used the Divination Box more than once, Wu Kong knew its nature well. If he said it could be opened, then it definitely could, but the way it would be opened would most likely not be the normal password-based method.

But having hope is better than being clueless, so Wu Kong wandered around the town the next day, but didn't encounter any petty thieves. Finally, out of boredom, he went to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion for a look. As soon as he entered, he felt a strange gaze. When he came out, the gaze was still on him, and even the owner of that gaze followed him out.

Wu Kong knew he had finally met this little thief!

That's why he used a clever trick, switching the Iron Tag to lure Luo Jun into making a move, and then tricking him into opening the chest to retrieve the treasure.

But to his utter surprise, this kid had tricked him, stored the Iron Tag away, and traveled all the way to the Northern Desert thousands of miles away. After luring him away from the mountain, he arranged for someone else to retrieve the treasure in Ganzhou!

Seeing Wu Kong's expression change, Luo Jun knew that the guy had probably realized that the treasure had been taken away. He smiled slightly and just looked at the other party, but his internal energy was already circulating, ready to fight at any time.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that this guy could detect my following and still manage to get to this Mobei Ancient City within a day is enough to show that he is no ordinary expert!

At this moment, the waiter brought over Wu Kong's noodles. "Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Wu Kong resisted the urge to shove the hot soup noodles directly onto Luo Jun's face. He stared into Luo Jun's eyes, sighed, and nodded, saying, "I underestimated you, little brother. Being in unfamiliar territory this time, we really did suffer a setback... But there are a few things I don't understand, and I hope you can answer them for me." Luo Jun raised an eyebrow. "Just ask. Whether I answer or not depends on my mood."

"The first question is, yesterday morning, after you entered the Supreme Treasure Pavilion and came out, you didn't contact anyone and traveled all the way to the Northern Desert. Who exactly did you entrust to retrieve the treasure? It couldn't have been someone from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, could it?"

"I'm really not in the mood for this question," Luo Jun said, casually picking his ear.

Wu Kong nodded. "Second question, where did you get the password to open the box?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Didn't I already tell you? I've carried on a friend's last wish."

"A friend?" Wu Kong raised an eyebrow. "As far as I know, the person who stored the treasure is still alive!"

As expected! Luo Jun looked at Wu Kong. This guy knew Gong Shiyue's situation, which meant he was definitely not a native of the [Martial World]. He was either from the Main World or... Polluter!

"Brother Wu has better connections than me, how come he still doesn't know the password?" Luo Jun continued to mock.

"Heh heh..." Wu Kong's forehead veins throbbed slightly. "The Last One question, how fast is your friend who went to retrieve the treasure?"

"Foot strength?" Luo Jun chuckled. "Not inferior to mine!"

Meanwhile, in the western sky above Ganzhou City, Harpy, with a Handheld Box gripped by both feet, was flying at an extremely high speed toward the headquarters of the Hundred Rivers Sect!

"It seems we really have failed..." Wu Kong shook his head. He could see the confidence in Luo Jun's voice and knew that he was telling the truth.

"It's too late to chase after your friend now, but at least I can take a hostage!" Wu Kong's tone turned cold, and his aura slowly rose, revealing astonishing power.

He's definitely no ordinary player!

Luo Jun was not to be outdone, his body radiating a powerful aura that rivaled Wu Kong's.

Although the two didn't move, the Killing Intent they released had already affected those around them. Ordinary people like the breakfast stall owner weren't too bothered, but they felt a chill for no reason. Those Martial World artists with some cultivation felt it even more clearly and looked at the two in shock.

The aura they exuded alone was no less than that of a sect Sect Leader or elder, yet both of them looked so young. When did such two young talents emerge in the martial arts world?

However, judging from the current scene, the identities of the two people are no longer important. Just by the aura they exude, if these two were to fight, the area within a hundred paces would be a dangerous zone, if not earth-shattering!

Adhering to the principle that safety comes first when traveling the martial arts world, the surrounding martial arts practitioners all retreated, fearing that they might be implicated.

Just as the two were competing, suddenly, an extremely sharp aura pierced through.

"Brother Luo, what a coincidence, I never expected to run into you here!"
