Chapter 2758 - 59: Already Outside the Treasure Mountain, Yet Still Not Entering?

The Shenxiao Secret Cache, sought after for many years, is now within reach. Just one step will take me into it.

But Xiong Sansi suddenly turned around.

The figure hidden under the black robe, at this moment, emitted an unreserved wave of power, firmly resisting the prying eyes of Zhu Lanruo and Zhu Zheng, keeping them ten steps away.

Yu Xin reacted as well, turning around to look...

His face immediately filled with surprise and delight: "Miss Lan Ruo! Brother Zhu! You’ve come too! Just perfect, just perfect, fate bestows its treasure, this Shenxiao Secret Cache’s emergence, it’s meant for us siblings to prosper!"

Zhu Lanruo listened as if unheard, only quietly watching Xiong Sansi. Zhu Zheng, however, glanced at Yu Xin but his gaze was not friendly.

This attitude left Yu Xin quite puzzled. We’ve had no quarrels in the past nor recently, just a few days ago we drank together, why am I greeted with a smile and you’re giving me the cold shoulder?

Is it all because of a mere Shenxiao Secret Cache that it has diminished our brotherly bond?

It’s true that wealth stirs the heart of demons, the sages did not deceive me.

Really, the world is declining, and the heart of demons is hard to fathom!

Though confident that he could handle Zhu Zheng without issue, Lan Ruo’s pure innocence poses no worry, there’s no need for Brother Xiong to act! Yet, pondering over why these two from the Spider Family have come, and if they have other dependencies, careful as Yu Zhen is, naturally requires some thought, testing the waters.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, prepared to showcase a bit of speech artistry, inconspicuously probing for some information.

Suddenly, a bell tolled loud.

The Knowledge and Hearing Bell that resonated throughout Mo Yun City, also echoed within this Shenxiao secret chamber, jolting Yu Xin such that he almost bit off his tongue.

Looking up again—

On the other side of the chamber, the silver-white wall suddenly rippled like water, amidst the wavering, a familiar courtyard shadow emerged. Pavilions and towers were graceful, with blooming flowers adorning, and green trees arrayed.

Before Yu Xin could see clearly, two people emerged from the courtyard shadow. One after the other, stepping forwards, during the stride, their forms turned from illusory to solid. A sense of unwavering resolve was felt within.

Thus, they stepped into the Shenxiao secret chamber.

The appearances of the two newcomers now unveiled before the eyes of all demons.

One had a stern face, patterned with demon marks, exactly the Young Master Ken Xihua of the Dog Family.

The other, clad in a bright red kasaya over a scrawny skeletal frame, the skin dimly glowing with precious light, eyes sharp and shining, like an iron-tree Bodhi, deeply wise, firmly solid, none other than the True disciple Yang Yu Mage from Ancient Nan Mountain.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Yu Xin was almost choked by himself, forcing out yet another smiling face: "Brother Xihua! You’ve come too! I was just thinking about calling you together! Truly, demons meet where fate goes, fate is fate! Come, come, come, stand next to your brother, later let’s explore together, the one beside you is..."

Ken Xihua didn’t bother to respond, simply snorted through his nose. Instead, he turned to Zhu Zheng: "Zhu Zheng, what mischief are you up to again? You even brought Lan Ruo along!"

Holding an instrument quietly, standing behind Zhu Lanruo without saying a word, Zhu Zheng only felt particularly speechless.

Between Zhu Lanruo and me, who’s in charge, isn’t it clear now?

I’ve become a string-instrument player child!

Moreover, where do you, Ken Xihua, get the nerve to talk to me like this?

Wasn’t it all long lord, short lord, wagging your tail at me?

Is it Yang Yu giving you courage?

Indeed, it is Yang Yu.

New king fifth on the Heavenly List...

No problem then.

Zhu Zheng turned his head away, not bothered by this dog exploiting sheep strength.

Yang Yu, clad in a bright red kasaya, clasped his hands respectfully, greeting Zhu Lanruo and Xiong Sansi: "The humble monk greets Miss Lan Ruo, Benefactor Sansi..."

His gaze swept across, "Greetings, everyone."

The smile on Yu Xin’s face vanished. Clearly, like Zhu Zheng and Ken Xihua, he was included in the "everyone." Or maybe not even included, as Yang Yu calmly looked at each demon, except him.

He finally realized something was wrong. Not to mention why so many demons suddenly flooded into the Shenxiao secret chamber, why did it seem like every demon that came had an issue with him?

Thinking of the usual days, Yu Xin is a generous spender, welcoming and farewelling guests without sparing for meals. Speaking always nicely, handsome in appearance, not lacking in social connections.

So is it because they all knew, this Shenxiao Secret Cache is truly my destined chance. Hence targeting me deliberately?

Feeling threatened, Yu Zhen instinctively moved a few steps closer to Xiong Sansi.

Xiong Sansi, with his black-covered face and clad in a black robe, was less fantasizing than his companions, only calmly watching Yang Yu, his voice like stones clashing: "You recognize me?"

Yang Yu responded gently: "Having known and heard."

Having heard the bell earlier, body and soul briefly subdued, now hearing again these "know and hear" words. Xiong Sansi was inevitably sensitive, emotionless in his speech: "Oh?"

Yang Yu no longer replied, merely shifted sideways, evading the lock of Xiong Sansi’s aura, offering his position, the diverted gaze hinting at something.

And so where he set his gaze, a shining crevice appeared.

Initially just a crevice, then vines grew from it, flowers blooming on the vines, with a floating dark fragrance in the air! At this moment, it resembled more a decorated floral gate, opened by a ray-like sword light!

The extraordinarily handsome Lu Qilang approached with sword in hand, flipping his palm, collecting the flowery small door, concealing the dark fragrance filling the room. With starry eyes scanning the scene, slyly smiling: "What are you waiting for folks? We’re outside the treasure mountain, why not enter the treasure mountain?"
