Imperial Treasure-Chapter 987 - 592: Cooperation (Dou Hanling’s Bond with Spirit Beast +8)
"Lang Lifan, Yun Qi, Old Thief, you three who haven’t even reached S level, think you can balance me with your special abilities?"
"Aren’t you underestimating me?"
This person had his back to them, yet he guessed their identities flawlessly, especially his voice, which was extremely hoarse, like sand, sending chills down the spine.
The three were inexplicably startled, "Who exactly are you?"
This person did not turn around, only gazing at the iron ball in front of him, seemingly contemplating how to open it.
The three exchanged a glance, their eyes turning cold, just about to make a move.
"Sometimes, you shouldn’t just look at the people in front of you, but also see if there’s anyone behind you. You three... are still too naive."
This sudden remark startled the three, Old Thief’s face changed, shouting: "Someone’s here!"
Swish!
Lang Lifan leapt up with a flash of Qinggong, shooting to a wall ten meters away, while Old Thief vanished like a shadow as if he could disappear into the ground, and as for Yun Qi, although she didn’t have such swift movement techniques and special abilities, she knew the Ice Technique.
A burst of ice fog spread.
Boom!
The encroaching blades and swords pierced the ice fog, catching frost; though they continued forward, they slowed somewhat, giving Yun Qi a chance to dodge!
Swish, swish, swish!
The originally united three were instantly split into three positions, each with lingering fear as they looked at the two who had entered.
Robes flowing, middle-aged, dignified and proper.
It was the two Pavilion Masters.
"Luo Zong, Dao Feng"
Weren’t they the Pavilion Masters Luo Zong and Dao Feng.
The arrival of these two made Lang Lifan and the other two’s faces sink instantly.
Yun Qi chuckled and said, "I said today’s Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference was unusual, turns out everyone came prepared. I think, it’s not just you two, isn’t it? One after another, isn’t there more behind?"
With her words,
The wind rose behind.
Meng Fang and Gao Jin walked in.
The Imperial Guards and The Gate!
"Haha, it’s really bustling, isn’t it," Lang Lifan laughed coldly.
"So, everyone has their eyes on this super treasure of Mount Hua, the Imperial Guards aren’t that special after all."
Feeling Old Thief’s ridicule, the Imperial Guards didn’t even raise an eye, merely said plainly, "Mount Hua broke the rules long ago, losing its qualification to guard it."
"On this point, Mountain Master, you can’t deny it, right?"
Mountain Master?
The BOSS is here?!!
The Black-robed Man turned around.
It was the Mountain Master!
Whoa!
Lang Lifan and the three were taken aback, suddenly feeling like they’d jumped into a trap.
"Mount Hua Mountain Chief, you devised all this, surely not just to screen us out, it seems pointless."
Although Luo Zong and Dao Feng were shocked, they felt something amiss, but seeing the Mountain Master alone, they were not too worried, "Firstly, we haven’t done anything, one must catch the thief and the loot. Secondly, you are alone, you may not be a match for us."
Two S-ranked joining forces, what’s there to fear? It’s merely the potential alliance of the three that was worrisome, but Mount Hua Mountain Chief is alone!
Could he possibly take on two?
No, there’s also Meng Fang and the others, even Lang Lifan, those three capable Kings, combined they could still challenge Mount Hua Mountain Chief!
So they weren’t very afraid.
Rather, they were curious since when did the Mount Hua Mountain Chief start suspecting them?
"Every year you come, yet every year you secretly survey the terrain for what reason, I get it," Mount Hua Mountain Chief clasped his hands inside his robe, eyeing them mockingly.
"But you underestimated one point, Mount Hua isn’t some isolated soft target in the world, trying to pinch it comes with the risk of losing hands."
Mount Hua Mountain Chief’s words were quite intimidating, the hearts of Lang Lifan’s trio were shaken, but others were not so.
Dao Feng chuckled coldly: "To borrow a phrase from Director Meng Fang, your Mount Hua isn’t that clean, is it? Can you talk cleanly about the Yun Family Fort incident? Five years ago, the calamity of the Yun Family Fort massacre, doesn’t everyone know what it was for!"
"Yun Family’s treasures are ancient treasures, rumored to possess extraordinary power, Mount Hua already had a super treasure, and five years ago reached its peak strength, with greed so insatiable they wanted to annex Yun Family treasures?"
"This point, surely the omniscient intelligence of the Imperial Guards includes it, too, right? I saw Director Meng Fang’s gaze at Chen Yuniang today was quite meaningful, maybe she was sent by your Imperial Guards!"
Meng Fang, hearing this, gave Dao Feng a glance, "You’re overthinking... our Imperial Guards wouldn’t resort to such means, without concrete evidence we wouldn’t act rashly, but Mountain Master you, sparing no mercy in killing your brother to lure us here... made quite a cruel decision, didn’t you?"
