This underground labyrinth is very large. Along the way, Zhao Dafa led everyone in Tonglin Hall through broken balconies one after another. These were the living areas built by Blackwater Palace for the disciples. Now they have become a place in the long river of time. Another remaining ruin.
From time to time, people leaned out among the ruins of these towers and looked at the Tonglin Palace team passing by.
"Eh? Is this the team from Tonglin Palace? How did they get here?" Someone in the dilapidated pavilion couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it Tong Lindian who found some treasure in this underground maze?" Someone else spoke up and expressed what he was thinking.
All the treasure hunters who had come in earlier were excited and prepared to get up and follow Tong Lindian.
"Look, the leader seems to be the bandit leader that Tonglindian is looking for. He was caught by Tonglindian?" Someone said clearly after seeing the person at the front of the team.
"It seems so. In addition, I heard that the bandit leader once robbed a treasure from Tonglin Palace in the Elegy Forest... Could it be that the bandit leader hid the treasure in this underground maze?" Someone thought of it. The rumors that I had heard before were immediately spoken out.
"Well, I think it's probably true. Since there is a treasure, let's go take a look. Maybe we will get something unexpected."
"Yes, we are here just to hunt for treasures. Now it is really possible to find the treasures with Tonglindian's team. Doesn't it fit the purpose of our coming here?"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by the people in the ruins. They walked out of the dilapidated tower and followed the Tonglin Palace team from a distance.
"Second Elder, there are still people following you in the ruins, what should we do?"
Ren Tianye felt a little worried as he looked at the treasure hunters following behind him who wanted to reap benefits.
"It doesn't matter, these guys can't make any waves. Amano, stay behind the team. If the guys behind you dare to approach, you will kill them as a warning. Then they will be obedient." The second elder of Tonglin Palace said calmly, There was confidence and dominance in his tone, which made Zhao Dafa at the front of the team feel a little anxious.
Originally, the more people following him, the easier it would be to escape once he used his trump card, but now the people in Tonglin Palace were clearly separating themselves from others, which also made him feel a little restless.
"It seems that we need to activate that thing as soon as possible. We can't let the people in Tonglin Palace notice and be wary." Zhao Dafa thought to himself, so he said out loud: "It will be there soon, you all go faster."
After saying that, Zhao Dafa quickened his pace again, and the people in Tonglin Palace behind him also followed more closely.
The second elder of Tonglin Palace always maintains a constant distance from Zhao Dafa in front, neither far nor close, and he is always on alert, so that even if the other party wants to play tricks, he has a certain amount of space and time to react. You won't be attacked by the opponent.
Zhao Dafa looked back at the second elder of Tonglin Palace behind him. He did not get closer to him because of his accelerated pace. He also secretly praised him in his heart. He was worthy of being one of the top sects in Longnan County. He really did a good job in following and guarding against others. Gotta have some skills.
"But that's all you can do. I'll make you look good later!" Zhao Dafa turned around with a cruel smile on his face.
It had already darkened, and Shi Jiu followed those in front who wanted to go to the ruins of Blackwater City to watch the excitement. The people in front held torches, while Shi Jiu followed from a distance.
This time when he went to the ruins of Blackwater City, his purpose was similar to most of the others. He mainly wanted to watch the excitement. He did not think of taking this opportunity to snatch the treasures from Tonglin Palace. The other party sent two Tianchong realms this time. When the elders came over, Shi Jiu was not confident that he could snatch the treasure from these two elders, so his mentality was quite relaxed.
"Everyone, hurry up. We'll be there in about ten miles." Someone in the crowd in front cheered.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the speed of the people advancing increased by a minute, and everyone was in high spirits.
Behind this group of people, Shi Jiu could only speed up.
In the underground maze.
After turning a corner, Zhao Dafa entered the spacious platform and stopped.
"Why did you stop? Are you here?" asked the second elder of Tonglin Palace behind him.
"Well, we're here." Zhao Dafa nodded.
"Who are you trying to deceive? This is obviously an abandoned martial arts arena and everything is empty. Where can you hide your things?" The second elder of Tonglin Palace looked gloomy and glared at Zhao Dafa in front of him.
"This is indeed the competition ground for the disciples of Blackwater Palace. Because it is empty, it is suitable for hiding things. No one would think that there is a treasure hidden here." Zhao Dafa returned easily without being angry.
As Zhao Dafa spoke softly, the people in Tonglin Palace behind him also began to look at the competition ground curiously.
The competition ground here is also in dilapidated condition. Even if it is a hard rock field, cracks are now spreading and all kinds of gravel are scattered around.
"If that's the case, then find the things for me and give them to me." The second elder of Tonglin Palace continued, but he didn't completely believe the other person in his heart.
"You can hand over the things, but you have to agree to let my companions go." Zhao Dafa made the condition.
"Don't worry, as long as I get that thing, I will let them go immediately." The second elder of Tonglin Palace nodded in agreement.
The captured bandits all breathed a sigh of relief the next moment, and then looked eagerly at the leader in front, waiting for the other party to find the thing and hand it to Tong Lindian.
"I hope you mean what you say."
After glancing at the second elder of Tonglin Palace behind him, Zhao Dafa slowly walked towards the row of seats at the front of the competition arena.
There was the elders' bench in the competition ground. Now there is only a row of stone platforms full of traces of time. Behind the stone platform are the disciples' benches from low to high. There are many of them. Although they are all dilapidated, you can vaguely imagine what it was like here back then. grand occasion.
It's just that everyone present is not in the mood to feel and think about the prosperous times back then. Everyone's eyes are now focused on Zhao Dafa in front, and his every move is watched by everyone.
Zhao Dafa did not panic. When he came to the elders' table in front, he first looked at the people in the competition field.
After confirming that everyone in Tonglin Hall was in the middle of the competition field, Zhao Dafa bowed down expressionlessly, then looked down at the bottom of the elders' bench.
"Did he hide the treasure there?" On the edge of the competition field, some of the treasure hunters who followed closely asked the question in their hearts.
At this moment, they all stared at Zhao Dafa in the front without blinking, fearing that they would miss important scenes.
"I've checked that place more than ten times. There can't be a place to hide something. Is he bluffing?" someone else among the treasure hunters said.
"That's right. If the treasure could be hidden in that place, it would have been discovered long ago. Will it still be his turn?"
"Yes, I think he is just stalling for time and wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape." More doubts began to sound in the crowd.
Hearing so many doubts behind him at this moment, Ren Tianye's distrust of Zhao Dafa became even heavier, and he couldn't help but walk to the side of the second elder.
"Second Elder, I always feel that Zhao Dafa is not telling the truth. How about we capture him immediately and question him directly?"
"Don't worry, we're already here. What other tricks can he come up with? Let him look for it first. If he can't find it, it won't be too late to catch him and interrogate him." The second elder was still confident and fearless, and then he opened his mouth to face Zhao Dafa in front of him. He shouted: "I'll give you one more minute. If you can't find it, I'll have to capture you and interrogate you myself!"
After hearing this, Zhao Dafa was not angry but smiled: "Don't worry, I will find it for you right away."
After saying that, Zhao Dafa stood up and walked towards the last person at the elders' table, and then bent down to check again.
"Well, fortunately, the mark is still there. Just wait for trouble for Tonglindian!" Zhao Dafa breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the circular mark under the seat, and then began to curse Tonglindian.
Under the stone seat, there is a small circular mark scratch, and in the center of the scratch there are some complex textures. Although these textures have been smoothed out a lot over the past thousands of years, the overall pattern Vaguely visible.
Taking advantage of the cover of the elder's chair, Zhao Dafa slipped out a small scroll from the sleeve of his left hand, then unfolded it and spread it on the circular mark. Then he immediately pressed the scroll with his left hand, trying to input his own Ming Yuan into it. .
Half a minute later, the mark under the scroll reacted and began to glow slightly.
"If it works, then work harder." Zhao Dafa felt happy and worked harder to inject Ming Yuan into the scroll.
This is a small transmission scroll that can transfer the energy sealed in the scroll to the circular mark immediately below through the transportation of people's Hades.
As the circular mark glowed brighter and brighter, Zhao Dafa became more anxious.
"Are you okay? If you don't see anything in the last half minute, I will kill you directly!" The second elder of Tonglin Palace also felt something strange and said to Zhao Dafa with a look of anger.
"It'll be ready soon." Zhao Dafa said calmly, but at this moment, he was extremely excited inside.
In fact, he had discovered this mark a long time ago, but he and other treasure hunters did not know about it at that time. It was not until later that he happened to see a book at a stall selling books in Blackwater City. I found some patterns similar to this circular mark, and knew that it was a mark that activated some kind of protective formation. As long as enough energy was input into it, the protective formation could be activated.
This was the competition ground for the disciples of the Blackwater Palace back then. In order to prevent accidents from happening, the elders of the Blackwater Palace specially arranged a protective formation in the competition ground. The key to activating the formation is at the end of the elders' table. Round mark.
Now, this mark may be the key to Zhao Dafa's successful escape from here.
"Can't wait any longer!"
The second elder of Tonglin Palace immediately flew towards Zhao Dafa in front of him, because the strangeness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhao Dafa's body glowed with light, and then with a "bang" sound, several rays of light lit up around the competition field, instantly spreading into a semicircular barrier, covering the competition field.
The second elder of Tonglin Palace bumped into the newly formed barrier and was directly bounced back.
"Hahaha, Second Elder, how does this rebound feel?" Zhao Dafa laughed wildly and taunted the Second Elder of Tonglin Palace, who was hit and bleeding from the forehead.
"Zhao Dafa, how dare you plot against us? I will peel off your skin and convulse you, and make you die a miserable death!" The second elder of Tonglin Palace was furious and covered his bleeding forehead with one hand, while looking fiercely.
