CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 173: LEAVE THEM WITH NO STORAGE BAG TO TAKE

Without any delay, Xuu Yi immediately activated his magical power, casting the Light Body Technique, his figure becoming very agile, and sprinted several leaps towards the storage bag.

The right hand reached forward, quick, accurate, and fierce.

He swiftly grabbed the storage bag from the right side of Wu Daoyuan’s waist.

Then, following Lu Ping’s instructions, he quickly retreated without greed, leaving the storage bag on the left side untouched.

Almost at the moment Xuu Yi retreated, the two lantern maids were triggered.

Their eyes opened, their heads simultaneously turned, looking in Xuu Yi’s direction.

The dark golden palace lanterns in their hands instantly ignited, reflecting a bright yellow.

One lantern maid raised the palace lantern in her hand and gently waved it towards Xuu Yi.

In an instant, a flame flew out from the lantern, transforming into a six-foot-long flame dragon, fiercely pouncing on Xuu Yi.

On the other side, seeing Xuu Yi take the initiative to grab a storage bag and trigger the two lantern maid statues, Qi Yuanming and the others didn’t say much, as they were all planning to act.

Xuu Yi had previously managed to deal with those two bronze guards, so dealing with these two statues shouldn’t be a problem.

However, their gazes now fell on Wu Daoyuan’s waist, on the remaining left-side storage bag.

One more left, perhaps could snatch it.

But snatching could wait; first, they needed to finish dealing with these two lantern maids.

Facing the flame dragon’s attack, Xuu Yi, through Lu Ping’s reminder, already knew the opponent’s strength and had no fear.

He immediately unleashed the Cyan Moon Blade to confront it head-on.

The Cyan Moon Blade, sharp and strong, slashed the flame dragon, easily dissipating the attack and scattering the flames.

Then, the crescent-shaped blade of the Cyan Moon Blade rotated, actively attacking the lantern maid.

The lantern maid had no bronze armor for protection, only wearing a Curved Skirt Magic Robe with a defense strength around Tier One Middle Grade.

This level of defense couldn’t block the attack of the Cyan Moon Blade and was easily broken.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuanming and the others didn’t intend to stand by and watch, and they all unleashed their spiritual artifacts against the other lantern maid.

Compared to the bronze guards, these two opponents were much easier to deal with.

After exchanging blows for more than a dozen rounds, the two lantern maids fell one after another, losing the ability to resist.

The two palace lanterns, both at Tier One Top-Grade, were perfectly preserved and belonged to fire attribute spiritual artifacts.

Xuu Yi took one, and Qi Yuanming took the other.

As for the remaining storage bag left by Wu Daoyuan, seeing Lu Ping had not sent a communication instruction to take it, Xuu Yi pondered, not knowing what treasures were inside, since the ancestor hadn’t explained, he simply put it into his storage bag.

Both storage bags fell into Xuu Yi’s hands, allowing them to potentially take the five storage bags.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanming and the others exchanged glances with a bitter expression, but said nothing.

On second thought, without Xuu Yi’s company, in defeating the two statue guards, the three of them wouldn’t have made it inside.

The treasure hunt had only just begun, and there might be more opportunities ahead, not to cause internal conflict here.

"In this main hall, the only things considered treasures are some items inside these two storage bags; there is nothing else of value contained within this hall."

"You might as well leave the main hall and go to a side hall on the right called Cyan Jade Hall; inside there is an underground secret room containing various spiritual artifacts and elixirs for you to divide among yourselves."

Seeing Xuu Yi finished taking the treasures, Lu Ping gave the next instructions.

Upon hearing this, Xuu Yi turned to look at Qi Yuanming and the others, discovering they were searching within the hall, looking for anything valuable.

Especially surveying the remains on the throne, resulting in no findings.

"Friends, I’m planning to go to the side hall next door, would you like to join me?"

After thinking for a moment, Xuu Yi decided to offer a hint and added a sentence.

"There’s no treasure here, but I suspect there might be something over there."

The ancestor’s presence was not convenient to reveal, so Xuu Yi refrained from mentioning anything about Lu Ping.

"Huh, how can you know the situation over there if you haven’t been there yet?"

Han He asked, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Xuu Yi’s divine sense is powerful enough to sense the surrounding treasures?

In the Cultivation Realm, there are some cultivators specializing in divine sense magic to enhance their divine sense.

The stronger the divine sense, just using divine sense to probe in this place could discover treasures first and control the surrounding situation.

Did Xuu Yi practice similar divine sense magic?

Interpreting why earlier Xuu Yi could first discover the abnormality of the bronze statue, he probably discovered it through divine sense, which seemed to explain everything.

"Do you want to join?"

Xuu Yi didn’t explain.

With the ancestor’s assistance, wherever there were treasures, he would head there.

Now making an invitation was merely considering the camaraderie built over these days, not to let them return disappointed.

"I want to go; I’ll go with you."

Lin Qing’Er was the first to respond, having a straightforward personality.

In her view, there really wasn’t anything worth lingering here; it was safer to follow Xuu Yi.

After speaking, she followed Xuu Yi.

Qi Yuanming saw this, turned to Han He: "Why don’t we follow and take a look together, at least we can look out for each other; there’s nothing worthwhile here."

"Alright."

Their conversation was fully heard by Lu Ping, and he was not dissatisfied with the three Celestial Saint Palace disciples’ reactions.

Still sensible.

Lu Ping would also keep an eye out for any whispers among them, to see if any thoughts of opposing Xuu Yi arose.

Once such malicious thoughts emerged, it’d be necessary to warn Xuu Yi to prepare defenses or even flee, which wasn’t impossible.

However, such situations were hardly seen.

After a display of skill with two talismans, Qi Yuanming and the others’ impression of Xuu Yi rose significantly, now seeing him as a formidable opponent.

Even somewhat like a leader.

Just as now, following in Xuu Yi’s steps, they entered the side hall Cyan Jade Hall.

"After entering the hall, on the right side at the back on the second bookshelf, there is a jade-colored porcelain vase; turn it left three inches to trigger a secret door."

"Once you enter the secret door, there’s an underground secret room containing Tier Two spiritual artifacts, elixirs, talismans, etc., go ahead and choose what you like, take as much as you can."

Upon hearing Lu Ping’s guidance, Xuu Yi immediately went to the designated area, found the jade-colored porcelain vase, and followed Lu Ping’s instructions to turn it with his hand.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound of the secret room door moving, the secret door opened, revealing a path leading underground, exposing a series of steps.

"Xuu Yi, how did you discover this?"

Witnessing Xuu Yi immediately open the secret room door upon entering, Lin Qing’Er opened her mouth in disbelief.

The three of them were still exploring the surroundings, not even clear on the facility layout, yet Xuu Yi entered and found the secret room, opening it.

"If you’re coming, let’s go together."

Xuu Yi left a sentence and walked alone down the secret room passage.
