From the expression on Zhu Xincheng’s face when she left, and from the many arrays and barriers laid here, all signs were enough to prove that there was definitely a treasure inside.
And not just any treasure, but something extraordinary.
Otherwise, it would never have drawn such serious attention from a God Monarch Realm expert.
Yang Guangxi desperately wanted to go in and take a look, but he was blocked by the layers of arrays and barriers.
It was not that he was completely unable to break them.
With his late Ancient God Realm cultivation, if Yang Guangxi forcibly broke the array, he could shatter it.
After all, Zhu Xincheng was not proficient in the Dao of arrays. The formations she had laid down were not particularly sophisticated.
However, the moment the array was destroyed, Zhu Xincheng would certainly sense it.
In order not to alert the enemy, Yang Guangxi immediately contacted his good friend Gu Yang, who specialized in arrays, asking him to help break the formation.
Gu Yang said that a formation of this level was not difficult at all. As long as he came over personally, he could completely dismantle it without the caster noticing in the slightest.
But Yang Guangxi rejected the proposal and told him to wait a little longer.
At present, the Divine Stone Mine was crowded with too many eyes watching. Moreover, his older brother Yang Guangxiao was a diehard loyalist of Zhu Xincheng. If he found out about this, he would certainly stop him.
So he had to find the right opportunity.
After thinking it over again and again, Yang Guangxi decided to muddy the waters first. Only then would he have a chance.
Thus, he secretly spread the news that there was a Divine Stone Mine beneath Yingning Ferry.
This drew the covetous attention of many from the Divine Race, and the area was thrown into daily battles.
Yang Guangxiao was exhausted dealing with it.
After some time passed, Yang Guangxi believed the moment was ripe. He had his friend Gu Yang disguise himself as a divine attendant and slip in quietly the next time the Divine Stone Mine was attacked.
Gu Yang found it baffling and asked why it had to be made so troublesome.
“You and your brother are both Chief Divine Attendants. Wouldn’t it be enough to let me in openly?”
Yang Guangxi considered himself extremely close to Gu Yang, so he revealed the secret inside the Divine Stone Mine.
He promised that whatever they found inside, Gu Yang would receive thirty percent.
At the mention of that, Gu Yang was instantly energized and agreed at once.
A few days later, the Divine Stone Mine suffered another large-scale assault.
Gu Yang took advantage of the chaos and mixed into the ranks of divine attendants to slip inside.
But if they were to accomplish this without anyone knowing, Yang Guangxiao could not remain here.
So Yang Guangxi found an excuse and sent Yang Guangxiao away.
After that, he brought Gu Yang to break through the array barriers here and successfully arrived at this place.
It was just that the timing was terribly unfortunate. Before they could fully search the place, you, Zhu Xincheng, arrived!
“It seems Heaven has arranged for us to break today!”
After listening to Yang Guangxi’s account, Zhu Xincheng said coldly, “You mean to say that, besides the four of us here, there was a fifth person? Why did I sense nothing at all?”
“Because I already killed that fellow Gu Yang!”
Yang Guangxi opened his Storage Ring and tossed out a corpse.
Pointing at it, he said, “That guy was far too greedy. I treated him like a brother. Who would have thought he had already sold the news about this place? He threatened me, saying the buyer only knew there was something in the Divine Stone Mine but didn’t know what it was. Either I hand over the Overwhelming Sea Blade right now, or he would contact the buyer, have them come kill me, and then they would split the treasure here.”
“Heh. To hell with brotherhood! All of it was fake!”
“So I killed him!”
Ye Yu raised his brow slightly and instantly guessed that the one who bought Gu Yang’s information was Cai Banjian.
So the news of this place really had leaked from within.
It was just that this “inside traitor” had let it slip by accident.
Yang Guangxiao let out a sigh and said, “Little brother, put down the blade in your hand and apologize to the Sect Master. Do not walk further and further down the wrong path.”
“Shut up! A man who doesn’t even have the courage to confess—what right do you have to control me?”
With a single sentence, Yang Guangxi rendered Yang Guangxiao completely speechless.
Then he spread his arms and said softly, “This place is my opportunity. I refuse to spend my whole life as a divine attendant beneath others. I want to be like Gao Zong, suppress an entire era, and make all the Divine Race bow their heads.”
“Brother, just stand aside. I promise you, I won’t kill Zhu Xincheng. As long as you listen, I’ll send this sister-in-law to your side!”
Yang Guangxiao clenched his eyes shut. He opened his mouth, yet hesitated to speak.
In the end, he lowered his head and stepped aside, standing silently.
That already made his stance clear. He had tacitly approved his younger brother Yang Guangxi’s actions.
Zhu Xincheng’s gaze turned incomparably cold.
Originally, she truly had intended to give the two brothers a chance.
As long as they put down the Overwhelming Sea Blade now and withdrew from the secret realm, everything could be treated as if it had never happened.
Did they not want to remain divine attendants? Granting them the seats of elders would not be a problem.
After all, they had indeed rendered merit to the Blazing Sun Sect.
But now, everything would come to an end.
Watching Yang Guangxi step slowly toward her, divine power surged around Zhu Xincheng. She said calmly, “Do you really think you alone can deal with me?”
“Before, perhaps not. But now, it’s absolutely worth trying!”
A savage grin appeared on Yang Guangxi’s face. He tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his foot, and his figure vanished from where he stood.
In the next instant, countless waves rose from nothingness, gathering together and surging toward Zhu Xincheng.
However, before she could even make a move, someone was faster.
Ye Yu shot forward at high speed, countless purple demonic patterns emerging around his body.
Though he bore a Ghost God physique, the aura of a Demon God he exuded was purer than that of orthodox ancient demons.
Before the waves could even approach, they were completely vaporized.
As he threw a punch, towering phantom images of Demon Gods manifested across the sky.
When Zhu Xincheng saw this scene, her eyes softened instantly.
Sure enough, Ye Yu did care about her in his heart.
Everything was just as Xiao Cui had said. He was simply shy.
Recalling the disdainful look Ye Yu had given her earlier, Zhu Xincheng could not help but let out a light snort.
“Hmph. Men are always sharp-tongued and soft-hearted.”
Boom!
A dull explosion resounded.
Violent shockwaves swept across the entire area, causing the secret realm itself to tremble violently.
Yang Guangxi could not help but take two steps backward.
He lowered his head to look at his right hand, which held the blade.
Even now, his palm would not stop trembling, and the web between his thumb and index finger showed signs of splitting open.
What kind of monster was this brat?
At the same time, Yang Guangxiao suddenly turned his head, a grave expression appearing on his face.
