Nothing More Than Reaching into a Bag and Plucking It Out
Shen Clan.
"Clan leader, there's news from Crimson Feather City: a descendant of the Huang Clan may have appeared."
After the message was delivered, the man in the hall showed a slight change in expression:
"Have you made any arrangements?"
Upon hearing this, the visitor said:
"The four of them went to Crimson Feather City to inquire about the Huang Clan, behaving excessively cautiously, and when they left the city, they headed directly towards the Huang Clan ruins."
After a pause, the person changed the subject and said:
"Judging from the resources they obtained in exchange, they mostly exude the aura of the lower realms. Furthermore, two of the four concealed their auras, making them impossible to detect. Judging from the other two accompanying servants, they also come from the lower realms."
"To ensure the greatest possible success in this matter, sixteen Mastered Dao Realm and four Dao Forged Dao Realm have been dispatched ahead of time to await their arrival."
After the visitor finished speaking, they waited for the man to reply.
"So they hid in the lower realms?"
The man spoke softly:
"To have kept it hidden for so many years, one really knows how to remain calm."
"However, my coming now is just the perfect opportunity to add to my son's good fortune."
After a pause, the Human Dao:
"Tell the men we sent not to alert them. Let's see if they can open that ancient coffin belonging to their Huang Clan."
"If we can open it, then we'll take action."
"Don't worry, clan leader, I've already given instructions on this matter." The visitor nodded.
At this moment, the man raised his hand, took out an object, and said:
"If you don't nip the problem in the bud, it will cause endless trouble. Give them a chance to struggle, let them call for help, follow the clues, and wipe them out completely."
To call someone, you must send a message.
Ultimately, the transmission of messages is also a flow of power.
This object, though useless for offense or defense, can be used to track messages.
Wherever they are, most methods of sending messages for help will implicate the recipient.
Some things, once done, should be done thoroughly.
Absolutely no future troubles!
The visitor took the item, asked another question, and only after receiving a reply that there was nothing else, did he get up and leave.
The man quickly stopped caring about it.
They all need to hide in the lower realms, which speaks volumes about their strength.
For a descendant of the Huang Clan, the secret of the ancient coffin is nothing more than a piece of cake, easily obtained, and not worth paying too much attention to.
"It looks like it's not too far away."
In mid-air, Gu Chen held a jade talisman, pretending to compare it, and then pointed it forward.
Beside him, Huang Zhan looked in the direction Gu Chen pointed.
What comes into view is quite desolate, a far cry from the bustling scene we've witnessed along the way; it's all clearly desolate.
Has everything really come to this?
Huang Zhan sighed softly, his words filled with regret.
According to the information mentioned in the jade talisman.
Back in the day, at their peak, the Huang Clan was among the upper-middle ranks in the entire Misty Clear Realm.
In the powerful and rife Misty Clear Realm, such a feat speaks volumes.
However, the desolation before my eyes at this moment is completely different from what was recorded in the information.
The glory of the past is gone, and all the prosperity of yesteryear has vanished.
There is a statue there.
At this moment, Huang Jiuzhao spoke up.
As they drew closer, a towering statue gradually came into focus.
Huang Zhan also stared intently.
The statue is quite well preserved, standing above the ground, with a majestic and lifelike face. There is a word "emperor" on the chest, which contains a unique and domineering meaning.
An expression of excitement appeared on Huang Zhan's face. He took a deep breath and said to Huang Jiuzhao:
"This is our Huang Clan's ancestor from back then."
Huang Jiuzhao nodded seriously, and then said:
"Looking at the statues of my ancestors, I felt a special resonance with them."
Huang Zhan glanced at Gu Chen, then said to Huang Jiuzhao:
"Although you share blood ties with your ancestors, you must choose a good tree to perch on, for what they have left behind."
After speaking, Huang Zhan turned to Gu Chen and said:
"We are already extremely grateful that young friend Gu has brought us here to see the image of our ancestors. If there is anything you need from the ancient coffin, please just ask, and our Huang Clan will certainly not be stingy."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head and smiled.
"Since it belongs to your Huang Clan, it naturally belongs to your Huang Clan. The contents of the ancient coffin can only play their greatest role in the hands of your Huang Clan descendants."
The mission details only mentioned opening the ancient coffin, without specifying whether it was taken away or obtained.
The Huang Clan and my master have a fairly good relationship, so how could I take what rightfully belongs to them?
Huang Zhan looked at Gu Chen.
He could sense that Gu Chen was very serious when he said that.
For a moment, Huang Zhan had only one feeling in his mind.
They were brought here without expecting anything in return.
The Huang Clan has truly owed them far too much.
"Let's figure out a way to open the coffin first." Gu Chen's attention returned to what was ahead.
The airship paused temporarily, and Gu Chen's thoughts, along with the system's probes, enveloped the space ahead.
Seeing this, Huang Zhan also put aside his thoughts, released his mental energy, and went forward to sense the situation.
Behind, in the distance.
Du Niansheng's thoughts drifted towards the vicinity of the statue, and soon a look of satisfaction appeared on his face:
"After following them for so long, finally something unexpected is going to happen."
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he secretly wondered if deliberately creating a small accident might backfire.
"However, it stopped abruptly. Could it be that they discovered something?"
Seeing the flying boat that Gu Chen and his group had stopped, Du Niansheng felt both doubt and surprise.
While it's not yet certain who's behind this scheme, it's clear that their methods are far from ordinary.
Although he could see through it, it would be difficult for ordinary people at the Dao Realm to do so, and even finding a clue would be an extremely difficult task.
If the opponent's disciples can make a discovery, then their strength...
Du Niansheng made his guess.
Gu Chen also finished his investigation, looked at Qin Li, and said:
"Has junior sister discovered anything?"
Qin Li shook her head:
"Senior Brother Gu has discovered something?"
Gu Chen also shook his head:
"I didn't find anyone either. It's different from what I expected. There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. It's eerily quiet."
He used the system to explore the statue and the surrounding space, but found no information about people.
Based on past experience, as long as a person is in the space explored by the system, even if they have concealed their figure and aura, they can still be detected by the system.
However, this is not currently displayed on the system's end.
"Am I being too cautious?"
A thought flashed through Gu Chen's mind.
However, he immediately dismissed the thought from his mind.
In battle, be reckless when necessary; in other aspects, being cautious is never a bad thing.
Having mental expectations is the best approach; ideally, nothing bad will happen, but even if it does, you won't be caught off guard.
Let's go.
Gu Chen restarted the flying boat and approached the statue.
When they were about thirty feet away from the statue, the flying boat and the group of people disappeared from the outside view.
"Wrong!"
Just as the flying boat disappeared from the outside world and got closer to the statue, Qin Li suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Gu Chen's expression changed almost the instant Qin Li finished speaking:
"Damn it, we've broken into a thief's den!"
