Chapter 971

Without hesitation, he immediately picked up the pace and headed directly toward the source of the noise.

“Come on, everyone! Stay close, don’t lag behind!” urged Shen Yao, urging the group forward.

She was genuinely concerned that Dustin might act recklessly and walk into an adversary’s trap.

The group briskly walked on for approximately ten minutes until they finally reached an open area.

It was a clearing about the size of a football pitch.

The ground was bare, with no grass in sight, just dirt and rocks, devoid of any signs of life.

At the center of it all lay a tomb that seemed to descend endlessly into darkness, its contents a mystery.

Surrounding the tomb, a band of formidable warriors stood watch, their vigilant gazes scanning their surroundings,

ever alert for potential intruders.

“Could this be Meskill’s burial site?” Shen Chong wondered aloud from his hiding spot behind a tree, gazing

excitedly at the enigmatic tomb in the distance.

I had anticipated being here for a good ten days at least, but I never expected to pinpoint the treasure’s location

within half a day. What a stroke of luck!

“Based on the circumstances, it seems likely. However, someone else has arrived before us, and they’re disciples of

the Vajra Sect,” Shen Yao remarked with a furrowed brow, her expression growing graver.

The Vajra Sect was the largest sect in Danzhou, although it didn’t quite measure up to the Jiuding Sect, it was still a

formidable rival.

A head-on confrontation wouldn’t yield any benefits.

“Second Senior Sister, it appears they have apprehended two Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples and are awaiting

reinforcements,” Han Yi noted astutely.

All of the Vajra Sect disciples were stationed at the tomb’s entrance, and they held hostages, poised for an ambush

should any Jade Maiden Sisterhood members appear.

“I’ve already alerted our Master. We’ll have to wait and see what unfolds and hope for support,” Shen Yao decided

calmly.

Their current strength left them no match for the Vajra Sect, and they relied on their Master’s intervention. “I fear it

may be too late.”

Dustin squinted, “Take a closer look. How many factions have gathered around us?”

“Um?” Shen Yao scrutinized the forest surroundings more closely and spotted flickering figures concealed in various

hiding spots.

It was evident that several factions were lurking nearby, awaiting their chance.

“Why are you skulking around? Reveal yourselves!” a Vajra Sect master suddenly bellowed, his voice akin to

thunder, startling birds into flight.

“Hahaha…” Laughter echoed as a group of individuals gradually emerged from the dark forest.

At their forefront stood a burly man with a thick beard, exuding a powerful presence.

A hefty sword adorned with a copper ring rested on his shoulder, giving him an air of dominance.

“Wei Dong, the Shahai Gang leader?!” Shen Yao couldn’t help but furrow her brow upon seeing him.

The Shahai Gang was a local gang known for its notorious and formidable leader, Wei Dong.

Many martial arts experts had fallen to his blade.

“Brother Xiao, come out as well, don’t hide!” Wei Dong called out to the side.

Leaves rustled, and another group of individuals emerged menacingly.

Their leader was a handsome man whose appearance seemed innocuous, but his eyes bore an icy chill.

“Xiao Chen from the Tianhe Sect?!” Shen Yao’s complexion shifted slightly.

The Tianhe Sect was on par with the Vajra Sect, and as the senior disciple, Xiao Chen was renowned as a prodigious

swordsman in Yuzhou!

“We’re in a bind now,” Han Yi whispered.

The Vajra Sect, Shahai Gang, and Tianhe Sect—the three major factions—all stood before them as formidable

adversaries.

Securing the treasure from these formidable opponents would undoubtedly prove an immensely challenging task.

“Brother Xiao, Brother Nie, it seems a few mice are yet to reveal themselves. Shall we… eliminate these pests

first?” Wei Dong grinned maliciously, directing his gaze towards Shen Yao and her group, his eyes brimming with

menace.
