Hearing the intense battle ahead, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor listened for a moment and said, "There are five people fighting. Three men and two women. All below the Miraculous Realm; four are in the Guardian Realm and one has reached the Completion stage. We can go take a look. It seems they are fighting over some Treasure."
Gao Yuxin also expressed, "There are five people, but they belong to four different factions, and only two of them are using weapons. Two of them have already been injured."
Upon hearing Gao Yuxin's deduction, Guan Yue couldn't help but look at her with new respect. Since the first level was activated, Gao Yuxin's abilities had greatly improved, both in knowledge and confidence. She had more topics to discuss with the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, which made Guan Yue very happy.
He was eager to know what the content of the second level activation was. It must be even more useful!
As Guan Yue approached the battlefield, everything he saw matched exactly what the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and Gao Yuxin had described. Only two people were still fighting, and their presence was overwhelming. The two combatants were both men; one wore a blue Long Robe and fought barehanded against another man dressed in tight-fitting attire who was a Disciple. This Disciple wielded a Greatsword, swinging it with great force.
The man in the blue Long Robe said, "Shawnee, you scoundrel. You actually set a trap for me; today you must hand over all your ill-gotten gains."
Shawnee sneered, "Hmph, Long Yang, just you? You think you can make me spit out what I've consumed? Go eat shit."
The battle between the two was fierce, while the onlookers remained indifferent.
Guan Yue quickly noticed that one person was alone but had the highest cultivation level; he was actually a Boundary Keeper. Among the spectators, only one woman seemed to care about Shawnee's fight, but her concern was merely superficial, reflected in her expression.
It turned out this was a temporary small group that had come together to seek treasure. This place had originally been discovered by Long Yang; after arriving here and opening this ancient secret location, since everyone was unclear about the situation inside, they had agreed beforehand to rely on their abilities and take what they needed without regrets. However, after delving deeper inside, the other four had obtained varying amounts of pills, Treasures, weapons, etc., while Shawnee alone had acquired divine artifacts, martial arts manuals, ancient techniques, and some holy medicines. This caused dissatisfaction among the others.
However, Shawnee was not afraid because only two from his sect had come; the one who looked worried was his junior sister from the same sect named Ransu. The other two were from different sects.
In fact, Ransu also felt discontent about Shawnee monopolizing the benefits but found it inconvenient to bring it up.
Long Yang was very straightforward and could not resist the provocation of others. After leaving the secret place, he took the initiative to suggest splitting the benefits. The two had a disagreement and immediately started fighting.
When Long Yang engaged in battle with Shawnee, the other four urged Shawnee to give up his share so they could split it evenly. However, Shawnee stubbornly refused, leading to a stalemate. Long Yang was furious and insisted that Shawnee hand over his share, indicating that today's events would not end peacefully.
Guan Yue gradually understood the situation and thought to himself that arriving early was not as good as arriving at the right moment. He decided to re-enter the secret place, as he now possessed the ability of material perception, which might yield unexpected gains.
He quietly left the battlefield where the others were fighting.
Gao Yuxin quickly located the secret place, which turned out to be a hidden fortress near the edge of a mountain. The fortress had already been unearthed by the five earlier. Guan Yue and Western Celestial Law Ancestor immediately rushed inside and found that it was surprisingly spacious. However, it had been thoroughly ransacked by the five, and after a quick glance, Guan Yue realized there was nothing of value left.
He and Western Celestial Law Ancestor quickly split up to search. Guan Yue used his perception ability to scan the surroundings while Western Celestial Law Ancestor relied on his sense of smell.
Gao Yuxin soon discovered something unusual: “Brother Guan, there’s a secret chamber here; you should go check it out.”
Upon closer inspection, Guan Yue indeed found a secret chamber set up in a dark corner near the mountain edge of the main hall, which would have been impossible to detect without his perception ability. Additionally, there was a hidden formation set up outside the chamber door. Guan Yue quickly dispelled the formation and opened the door to be greeted by a wave of fragrance.
Ancient herbs! The chamber was filled with ancient herbs arranged neatly in eight rows, and no scent was leaking out; instead, the aroma was from an artificial spray rather than emanating from the herbs themselves.
Overjoyed, Guan Yue stored all the herbs in his ring.
Subsequently, Gao Yuxin discovered another hidden passage. Upon entering, Guan Yue found several oddly shaped weapons but did not examine them closely before storing them in his ring as well. In the passage, there was also a treasure box that he could not open at that moment, so he placed it into his ring too.
At this point, Western Celestial Law Ancestor called out to Guan Yue: “Hurry over! There’s a scent of Wormwood. They might have taken it with them. We need to catch up with them and demand it back. This opportunity is rare; we cannot miss it.”
Saying this, Western Celestial Law Ancestor immediately dashed outside, and Guan Yue had no choice but to stop searching and follow him out. He understood what Wormwood meant to Western Celestial Law Ancestor.
Back at the original spot, the five were still arguing, with Shawnee and Long Yang facing off. However, the two bystanders had begun to speak harshly to Shawnee, criticizing him and applying pressure, which only made Shawnee angrier. He was deeply resentful of the three for their contradictory and untrustworthy behavior.
Finally, Shawnee exploded: "You bunch of fools, you've been blabbering here for so long, it's so annoying. Stop talking nonsense. You just want my Treasure, right? If you have the guts, come and take it! Whoever gets it first keeps it. But if you get hurt by my Greatsword, don't blame anyone but yourselves."
"Alright, let's all attack together and take down this arrogant guy. We can share the Treasure!" The two bystanders were waiting for Shawnee's words; now that they had what they wanted, they immediately joined the fight against Shawnee.
Ransu showed a troubled expression. Seeing Ransu hesitating made Shawnee very angry, but he quickly thought of a way to persuade her and shouted, "Junior sister, help me take them down, and then we can split the spoils!"
Ransu perked up at once and shouted at the two opponents: "You two stop! Otherwise, I'll join the fight!" She held her sword ready to charge.
Long Yang said to Ransu, "Don't believe Shawnee's nonsense; come with us instead. We won't deceive you. If we kill Shawnee, we can share everything."
Shawnee again urged Ransu: "Junior sister, trust your senior brother. Splitting between us is better than splitting with them three. As long as we drive them off, we'll split right away. I, Shawnee, will never go back on my word."
In a situation where no one could be trusted, Ransu chose to side with her senior brother. She called out again for the two to leave the battlefield.
Finally, Long Yang erupted in anger: "Ransu, you idiot! Can't you see the situation? Guys, let's take her down too. With one less person, we can share more Treasure."
So one person went after Ransu while the other two dealt with Shawnee.
Among the five, Ransu was the strongest and most cunning. She engaged one opponent while watching Shawnee struggle against his two adversaries. She planned to wait until Shawnee and those two were both injured before striking hard to eliminate all four and keep all the benefits for herself.
Shawnee was fighting hard against the two while Ransu slowly maneuvered with her opponent. She was waiting for the best opportunity and wasn't using her full strength at that moment.
Guan Yue and his group returned to the scene to find the current situation of divided combat teams.
At a glance, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor understood Ransu's intentions, as he was very clear that Ransu was holding back; she was the strongest among the five in terms of combat power.
After all, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor was a renowned figure from ten thousand years ago, and he could see through Ransu's plans. He immediately told Guan Yue, "This girl has ideas; we should try to accommodate her. In the end, we might benefit greatly."
"Taking advantage of the situation?" Guan Yue asked in confusion.
"Not quite; we need to uphold justice and maintain fairness," the Western Celestial Law Ancestor replied with a serious expression. Seeing the Red-Furred Monkey's pretentious demeanor, Guan Yue secretly laughed, thinking, "Upholding justice sounds nice, but it's just a different name for robbery."
With the help of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Guan Yue was now able to completely eliminate his presence. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor informed him that this technique for concealing one's aura was called the Unintentional Submergence Technique. Thus, he watched the battle among the five with great ease, waiting for the right moment.
The battle among the five grew increasingly intense, with Ransu seizing her opportunity. Little did she know that while she was preparing to strike, Guan Yue and his companions were also plotting against her.
Shawnee was genuinely furious and fought desperately against her opponents, while the other two were eager to eliminate her as well. The three engaged in fierce combat without holding back, and soon they all sustained injuries.
Shawnee was from the Guardian Realm, and her opponent Long Yang was also from the Guardian Realm. Ransu and her opponent were both from the Guardian Realm as well, with Long Yang's ally being at the Peak of the Human Realm. Therefore, both sides had roughly equal combat power. The Peak of the Human Realm provided little assistance against a Guardian Realm disciple. Moreover, since Shawnee was fighting for her life, Long Yang and his team did not dare to underestimate her and responded with all their strength. Ultimately, they could only end up mutually injured.
As Ransu sensed that her opportunity was approaching, she began to exert herself fiercely against her opponent, gradually inflicting injuries. She initially expected her opponent to concede quickly while still maintaining a semblance of resistance. Now, as soon as Shawnee and Long Yang's duel reached a conclusion, Ransu could immediately defeat her opponent and then eliminate Shawnee and Long Yang along with their companions to seize all the treasures.
The battle between Shawnee and Long Yang finally neared its end. The result was that Shawnee's greatsword pierced Long Yang's thigh while Long Yang's fist struck Shawnee's head; both collapsed to the ground in a bloody mess.
Seeing her chance arrive, Ransu immediately launched a powerful attack. She aimed to quickly defeat her opponent; however, he fought back like an unkillable cockroach, resisting until his last breath. In a fit of rage, Ransu delivered a heavy blow that killed him! She then proceeded to search his body and took all his treasures. Calmly, she walked over to where Shawnee and Long Yang lay heavily injured and coldly said, "Will you hand over your treasures willingly or should I take action? This includes you."
