Chapter 171: Warlords gather, playing chess from afar (double chapter)
Ten li south of Jingzhou City stood Tianning Temple.
As word spread that the City-Linked Treasure was hidden in Tianning Temple, countless Jianghu figures gathered there.
Before the monks of Tianning Temple could grasp what was happening, a crowd of Jianghu figures had swarmed inside, turning the once-peaceful Buddhist sanctuary into an Asura Field.
Many monks who tried to stop them were casually killed by hot-tempered Jianghu figures. Then the densely packed crowd began searching through Tianning Temple.
Soon, someone discovered a clue.
"This Buddha statue is solid gold!"
"There's a mechanism underneath! Holy shit..."
"Gold... it's all gold!"
"We're rich! Hahaha..."
The mechanism beneath the lotus throne in front of the golden Buddha was discovered. As the concealed passage opened, everyone went mad at the sight of the glittering treasure chamber below.
They had never seen so much wealth in their lives.
With such an enormous hoard, even a small share would have kept them fed and clothed for the rest of their lives.
But human hearts were always greedy. Most wanted nothing more than to claim the entire treasure for themselves.
And so, the killing began!
"The treasure is mine! All mine!"
"You think you're worthy of fighting for the treasure? Get lost!"
"You dare steal my treasure? Fuck you, die!"
"Gold! My gold..."
The scene descended into chaos in an instant.
Some grabbed armfuls of treasure and ran outside, while others fought fiercely inside the underground chamber over the hoard.
Everyone's eyes were red with bloodlust.
Thud, thud, thud...
Just then, another group of figures with powerful auras approached from afar. Guan Yutian had arrived with his men.
The moment he entered Tianning Temple and saw the dazzling chamber of gold, Guan Yutian's eyes lit up too.
