Chapter 1894 1,789. The Picture Was Revealed
If they took a wrong step, they might suffer the backlash of the ancient tomb.
However, their attention was more attracted by the altar at the end of the stone room.
On the altar, there was a pattern that was continuously drawing power from all directions and gathering in the groove.
It gathered into a pitch-black speck of dust in the groove.
The dust gathered together and condensed into powder. The powder condensed into sand, and the sand condensed into a rock the size of a dragon rock.
Star Rock!
The expressions of everyone present changed at the same time, and their eyes revealed deep joy.
There were a total of ten Star Rocks!
Ten Star Rocks. As long as they obtained two of them, they could go to any other civilization and successfully return.
Everyone’s eyes were burning with eagerness.
However, no one took a step forward rashly.
“Everyone, this formation is the Heavenly Star Nine Yin Nine Yang Formation created by our ancestors. It can absorb energy from nothingness to condense starstones. It can also absorb energy for its own use, turning it into an offensive power. Its power is extremely terrifying. If you take one wrong step, you will be doomed. Everyone, follow my footsteps closely. Do not take the wrong step.”
The windcloud manor Lord said solemnly as he led the way, stepping on a bluestone slab.
The Sword Sealing Pavilion Lord followed closely behind, and he was also very careful.
Following behind him were the master of the Azure Underworld Mansion, Master Bao Kun, Holy Maiden, Gu Xing, and the manor Lord’s wife.
Those seated here were all absolute experts, but in this small stone room, they were all treading on thin ice. They could not be any more careful.
Time passed bit by bit. It seemed that they were only a few hundred Zhang away, but they seemed to have walked for a month.
When they reached the altar, the head of the wind and cloud manor wiped his sweat and smiled, “Fortunately, there’s no mistake.”
He casually moved his hands and feet, indicating that the area around the altar was a safe zone.
“As long as we don’t go beyond the altar, there won’t be any problems,”said the head of the wind and Cloud Manor. He himself stared at the Star Stone formed in the groove, his eyes burning.
When the others saw this, they all gathered around.
Staring at the groove, no one made a move.
“Everyone, how should we distribute the Star Stone?”The Master of wind and cloud manor looked around at everyone.
A sharp and cold light flashed in the eyes of the Master of Feng Sword Pavilion, and he said indifferently, “Since everyone has come in, why don’t we snatch it with our strength?”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately became wary of each other.
Relying on one’s ability to speak? Wouldn’t that mean that they would have to fight within a narrow area?
Killing intent surged within the eyes of the Master of the Azure Underworld Palace as his mind spun rapidly.
Gu Xing and the manor head’s wife retreated slightly, indicating that they would not participate in the fight and that they would not attack them.
The manor head of the Windcloud Manor also pondered carefully. “Based on one’s ability?”
In terms of ability, none of the people present could compare to him!
The stone room was silent. Everyone knew that the only difference was who made the first move, and everyone would start fighting each other.
At this moment, the taciturn master Bao Kun suddenly opened his mouth and said indifferently, “Everyone, isn’t it too rash to start a fight here? One wrong step outside thirty feet is death. Everyone, are you sure you want to take the risk for the Starstone?”
In fact, they all knew in their hearts how high the danger of fighting here was.
However, since the Pavilion Master of the Feng Sword Pavilion had suggested that they fight based on their own abilities, they naturally became nervous.
“I agree with Master Baokun. If we want to fight based on our own abilities, we’ll have to find another place,”the master of the Azure Underworld Palace immediately said.
The Pavilion Master of the Feng Sword Pavilion glanced at Master Baokun, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes as he said, “Then tell me, how should we distribute them so that everyone is satisfied? I want to make it clear that I want three!”
As soon as he said this, the others immediately glared at him angrily.
“Why?”The Master of the Azure Nether Manor was the first to object. “If you want three, then I want three!”
The two asked for six.
The Master of the Wind Cloud Manor twirled his beard and said, “If both of you want three, then I have no reason to ask for less. I want three as well.”
There was only one left.
The Holy Maiden’s eyes flashed. “I want the last one!”
Now that the Moon Worship Sect Master had fallen, she was all alone. It would be good if she could get one. She really didn’t have the right to compete with them for more.
Gu Xing and the Manor Head’s wife were additional participants. They didn’t have the right to distribute it.
Master Bao Kun clasped his hands behind his back and said, “Isn’t that enough? It just so happens that the distribution is complete.”
Eh? The few of them stared at Master Bao Kun in astonishment. Could it be that he didn’t want it?
The Master of the Azure underworld mansion relaxed slightly. “If Master Bao Kun sacrifices himself and doesn’t want the Starstone, then I have nothing to say.”
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Sealing Pavilion. He nodded faintly. “If that’s the case, I have no objections.”
The Master of the wind cloud manor nodded slightly. “It seems that everyone has reached an agreement. Let’s begin retrieving the Starstone.”
He took out the Jade Ruyi and tapped it on the seal in the groove. The seal immediately opened, revealing ten starstones.
The Master of the Windcloud Manor immediately took out three starstones and placed them into his storage space. Then, he moved away.
The Master of the Sealed Sword Pavilion took out three starstones as well.
The Master of the Azure Underworld Mansion also took out three starstones.
The Holy Maiden took out one with a complicated expression.
After the ten starstones were distributed, everyone was happy.
The Master of the Azure underworld mansion immediately said, “Since we have the starstones, let’s leave as soon as possible. Please lead the way, Manor Lord.”
The longer he stayed here, the more uneasy he felt.
This place gave him an abnormal sense of danger. It was best for him to leave as soon as possible.
However, the wind cloud manor Lord calmly put his hands behind his back. The corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile as he said, “I should say, let me send everyone off.”
The meaning behind his words caused the expressions of everyone present to suddenly change.
The Lord of the azure underworld mansion frowned and said, “Manor Lord, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. What do you mean?”
“I mean it literally,”the Windcloud Manor Lord said indifferently. “You don’t have any regrets now that you’ve taken the Starstone, right? Since you’re on your way, it can be considered that I’ve done all I can for you.”
Whoosh --
The Lord of the Sealed Sword Pavilion, the Lord of the Azure Underworld Mansion, and the Holy Maiden retreated to the edge of the ten-meter radius, their eyes revealing a cold expression.
The Lord of the sealed sword pavilion said in a low voice, “Manor Lord, it’s not a good time to joke around. It’s best that you take us away as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there’s really a misunderstanding, it won’t be good if we join forces and injure you.”
The Lord of the Azure Underworld Mansion’s expression was solemn, and he didn’t say a word.
He should have known that the Windcloud Manor Head definitely didn’t have any good intentions when he opened the windcloud ancient tomb.
How could he be willing to give away ten star stones?
Star Stones..
Suddenly, the palace master of the Azure Underworld Palace threw out the entire spatial storage item without hesitation.
However, he was already a step too late. A black mist shot out from his storage item and enveloped him within in an instant.
With a miserable scream, the Master of the Azure Underworld Palace turned into a puddle of blood.
The expression of the Pavilion Master of the sword sealing pavilion also changed drastically. He shouted in a low voice, “Pavilion Master, how Dare You...”
Boundless Black Mist also shot out from his storage container and enveloped him within it, turning him into a puddle of blood.
The Holy Maiden’s expression froze. Before she could do anything, she was also enveloped by a black mist and turned into a bloody mist.
In the blink of an eye, the Sword Sealing Pavilion Master, the Qingming Prefecture Master, and the Holy Maiden were all killed. Including the Moon Worship sect master, they were all dead!
Of the five great sects in the southern region, only the windcloud manor master and Master Bao Kun were left!
The windcloud manor master glanced at Gu Xing and curled his lips. He turned his gaze to master Bao Kun and chuckled. “Bao Kun, you’re the only one who’s smarter. You saw through the clues and didn’t touch the Starstone.”
Without a doubt, the killer move of the head of the wind cloud villa wasn’t hidden in the middle, but in the star stone itself.
They were too wary of the head of the Wind Cloud Villa. It was too difficult to plot against them in the middle.
The Star Stone was the best choice. When faced with a treasure in hand, one’s guard was the lowest.
Master Bao Kun said coldly, “Those star stones just now were fake, right? The real ten star stones were actually kept by you long ago, right? In the past five days, you must have come to the ancient tomb and taken the star stones, right?”
The Master of the wind cloud villa sized up master Bao Kun, he laughed and said, “Why should I hand over the things of My Wind Cloud Villa to you outsiders? As you said, I came here several times in the past five days to set up a trap to kill all of you. It’s basically a success now.”
Master Bao Kun said, “So, the huge seal at the entrance was actually prepared to kill someone?”
“That’s right.”The Wind Cloud Villa Master’s lips curled up as he walked towards Master Bao Kun. “If not for that, how could the moon worship cult master die so easily?”
As expected, there was a reason why he suddenly withdrew his hand when the moon worship cult master passed through the passage.
“To kill someone, he didn’t hesitate to destroy the seal and cause damage to it?”Master Bao Kun asked sarcastically. To destroy the ancient tombs of his ancestors for this, it was truly strange.
However, unexpectedly, the head of wind and cloud manor snorted, “I don’t have the ability to destroy the seal. It was the damage that suddenly appeared in the past two years. It should be because the seal has been in disorder for a long time.”
He did not even know when and by whom the seal was destroyed.
“That’s it, Bao Kun. You are not my match at all. It is not difficult to kill you.”
Master Bao Kun was not afraid at all. He said calmly, “You can give it a try.”
“Is that so? Then give it a try!”The Wind Cloud Villa Master’s face turned cold and his figure flashed.
However, he did not rush towards Master Bao Kun. Instead, he changed his direction at the last minute and suddenly appeared in front of the Villa Master’s wife. He grabbed her throat and said, “Hehe, madam, it’s safer to send you on your way first.”
The Manor Head’s wife’s expression changed and she said with difficulty, “Husband, you... What did you say... I don’t understand...”
The manor head sneered as he took out the three star stones that he had obtained. He sneered and said, “You must be very curious as to why I’m fine with taking the three fake star stones, right?”
A trace of regret and killing intent appeared on his face. “To think that I loved you so much. You actually wanted to kill me!”
“Husband, you’re confused. The three star stones you took were real, and you personally arranged them. You were the first to get the three real star stones, so naturally, nothing will happen to you.”
The killing intent of the head of the wind cloud villa deepened. “Then tell me, why did you steal my Jade Ruyi and sneak in here to exchange the three real star stones for fake ones after I arranged them? You Want to kill me and the others, right?”
Unfortunately, the wind cloud manor Lord sensed everything and rearranged everything.
Instantly, the manor Lord’s wife’s face turned deathly pale.
The manor Lord’s face revealed a malevolent expression. “What I hate the most is someone betraying me. Die!”
He exerted force with his five fingers and was about to crush him to death. However, right after that, a ball of blood mist suddenly appeared where the Azure Underworld Mansion Master was standing, revealing the pale-faced azure underworld mansion master.
He was holding a porcelain doll-like little person in his hand. His entire body was covered in cracks.
As he appeared, he shattered with a thump.
The Manor Head’s expression changed slightly. “Move flowers and connect Wood!”
The Master of the Azure Underworld Mansion revealed a venomous and cold smile. “It won’t be that easy to kill me!”
After all, he was the Master of a mansion. How could he not have any means to save his life?
