Xiao Mo also settled into the lodgings Xiao Yi Xian had arranged.
That night, Xiao Mo gazed blankly at the stars alone.
The suffering Xiao Yan had endured to grow from a mere Dou Zhe to where he was today was unimaginable.
In truth, the affairs of this world were easy enough to distinguish.
Xiao Mo had witnessed every bit of Xiao Yan's hard work.
The night passed without incident...
Xiao Mo woke the next morning.
The three of them still had to search the cave for treasures.
After lunch, the three set out.
They reached the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The cave's greatest feature was how well hidden it was; it was not inherently a dangerous place.
The three entered the cave without trouble, but Xiao Mo stopped Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian first.
"Let me scan it first..."
"You two can go in once I'm sure it's safe."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently. "All right. Be careful too."
Xiao Mo spread his Spiritual Power throughout the cave, checking for anything dangerous.
Sure enough, his scan revealed six concealed traps!
If they stepped on one, the concentrated Spiritual Power within would likely blast them to death!
Xiao Mo carefully dismantled every trap, then inspected the cave thoroughly once more.
Only after confirming nothing was wrong did he dare let Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan inside.
There really was a Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in the cave, along with the Eagle Wings Flying Dou Technique.
Xiao Mo told them, "Once we've taken the treasures, we'll leave."
"Otherwise, if someone finds out, an innocent man becomes guilty merely for possessing a precious jade!"
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian naturally understood how serious the matter was.
They hurried after Xiao Mo and left the Magical Beast Mountain
