Chapter 2136: A New Golden Bone!
The distance from Cloud Border to Kunwu is actually not very far.
All six members of the Witch Clan possess the ability to fly, and in less than ten minutes, they arrived in Kunwu City. At this time, it was only nine o’clock in the evening.
Kunwu City was still bustling.
People could be seen everywhere on the street, along with various night food stalls.
Seeing the bustling scene around him, Li Hui was almost popping his eyes out, especially the tempting aroma of all kinds of delicacies, which further stirred the glutton in his stomach.
Having stayed in the primitive forest of the Ten Thousand Mountains for so many days, he felt like his taste buds had faded away.
Li Hui’s eyes turned, and then he spoke, "Big Brother, anyway it’s still early now, and the East Sealing Mountain is not far. How about we grab a meal in the city before we act?"
"As they say, sharpening a knife doesn’t delay the cutting of wood. Let’s fill our stomachs so we can work more effectively when we get into the mountains."
Big Brother glanced at him, immediately aware of his true intentions.
However, Big Brother didn’t dismantle his mask, after all, there was plenty of time. Eating a meal wouldn’t delay for too long: "Sure, let’s find a restaurant in the city for dinner, everyone has worked hard these past few days."
"If we smoothly find the Golden Bone tonight, I’ll treat you all to some fun tomorrow."
Catching this, the other few manifested an ambiguous smile on their faces.
The six gathered into the crowd.
Yet, as they left this street, a silhouette slowly emerged from a small alley. He gazed in the direction where the Witch Clan six departed, a peculiar glimmer in his eye...
East Sealing Mountain, inside an abandoned ancient temple.
At this moment, Xiao Zheng was sitting cross-legged before the towering statue, meditating, waiting for the six from the Witch Clan to arrive. Meanwhile, Long Qie and others hid in the shadows, ready to provide support at any time.
But just at this moment, Long Qie suddenly appeared in the dilapidated main hall.
Noticing movement, Xiao Zheng opened his eyes: "What happened? Why the panic, did something occur?"
Upon hearing, Long Qie excitedly said, "Mr. Xiao, I just received the latest news, the six people from the Witch Clan seem to have entered Kunwu City!"
"Oh? Is this true?" Xiao Zheng asked, somewhat surprised.
Long Qie nodded and said, "Our brothers just sent word that he saw six suspicious individuals on the street, perfectly matching the number with the Witch Clan."
"Though their identities are not yet confirmed, there’s at least an eighty percent chance those six are indeed from the Witch Clan!"
Having listened to his analysis, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I understand, there’s likely no mistake. I didn’t expect their actions to be so quick; the information was only just released yesterday, and they’ve already reached Kunwu City."
"All for the Golden Bone, it seems the Golden Bone is truly crucial to the Ancient Clan," Long Qie spoke.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Naturally, if I weren’t sure they’d take the bait, I wouldn’t have let you spread such information. Have everyone hide well, they should be arriving shortly."
"Understood, don’t worry, there won’t be any mishaps." Long Qie pledged in promise, then turned and left the main hall.
Once Xiao Zheng was alone in the main hall again, the entire ancient temple resumed its tranquility.
Li Hui and others finished their meal after a full two hours.
Once everyone was full, Big Brother spoke, "Alright, now that we’ve eaten and drunk, all of you must be extra vigilant later, understand?"
"If we find the Golden Bone, rewards certainly await each of you."
Hearing this, Li Hui smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Big Brother. So long as there truly is a Golden Bone in East Sealing Mountain, I’ll find it even if it means excavating the whole mountain!"
"Let’s set off then," said Big Brother.
The six swiftly left the city, flying towards the direction of East Sealing Mountain.
In the deep night, the undulating East Sealing Mountain was particularly conspicuous at night.
Most notably, the tallest peak stood like a colossal giant piercing the sky, rising between heaven and earth.
"We’ve arrived." After landing on the ground, Big Brother slowly spoke, "According to the information I obtained, the Golden Bone is hidden within an ancient temple. Be thorough in your search, don’t miss any ruin, understood?"
"If you discover anything, immediately contact the others, absolutely no lone ventures!"
Li Hui and the others nodded, then dispersed.
The six split into six directions, genuinely intending to sweep the entire inside and outside of East Sealing Mountain. After five or six minutes, Li Wu, who had ventured into the mountain’s depths, made a discovery.
In a stretch of virgin forest, beyond lush leaves, he vaguely saw outlines of ancient ruins.
This is the sole ruin within dozens of miles; if the Golden Bone truly exists in East Sealing Mountain, it is most likely hidden within these ruins.
After Li Wu gently landed, he immediately began to contact his companions.
Having received the message, the other five promptly rushed in Li Wu’s direction.
Despite the small commotion, upon nearing the ancient temple, Xiao Zheng caught a trace of the activity.
Xiao Zheng slowly opened his eyes, gazing into the distance.
As if through the crumbling walls of the ancient temple, he already saw Li Wu and the others.
"Finally here."
The corner of Xiao Zheng’s mouth lifted, his smile suddenly turned somewhat playful.
"Slightly later than my estimate, but it’s alright, as long as they came, that’s enough."
Finishing his self-talk, Xiao Zheng retrieved a piece of Golden Bone from his embrace.
The Golden Bone, obtained from the Hemingway Family, was meant as bait.
Placing the Golden Bone behind the statue, Xiao Zheng floated up and concealed himself in the beam above.
At this time, Li Wu and the others were already approaching the ancient temple.
Before even entering the door, the leader’s face showed a hint of excitement: "I sensed it! I sensed the aura of the Golden Bone! The info is right, there’s indeed a Golden Bone here!"
Upon hearing his words, Li Wu and others also showed a touch of excitement.
The six did not hesitate and directly rushed into the ancient temple.
Since the aura of the Golden Bone could be sensed, the leader immediately located the place where Xiao Zheng hid the Golden Bone. As soon as he went behind the statue, he promptly found the piece of Golden Bone!
"I found it!"
"The Golden Bone is right here!"
The leader said excitedly, then reached to take the piece of Golden Bone.
Yet the mutation occurred then!
Before the leader’s hand touched the Golden Bone, the piece placed behind the statue moved autonomously, soaring directly toward the roof!
