Chapter 1853 - 1854: The Treasure Emerges
Buzz!!
At three thirty in the morning, looking out at the seemingly unreachable Snow Mountain Summit, a buzzing sound suddenly echoed faintly.
This sound, seemingly an illusion, yet incredibly real, instantly excited the various groups who had gathered in the Northwest, waiting all night.
The treasure they had been eagerly waiting for was finally about to be unveiled!
And the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus was about to become fully mature!!
Instantly, the entire Northwest trembled as silhouettes, like a swarm of locusts, rushed towards the majestic snow mountain, breaking the silence that had persisted overnight.
"The Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I’ve got it!"
"Haha, you guys can fight over the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, I only want the treasure!"
"This treasure made a stir a year ago but only surfaced today, taking so long must mean it’s hiding some peerless treasures!"
"That’s for sure. Rumor has it that some ancient treasures, guarded by supreme treasures, don’t fit into the current world, making them hard to appear. Only when the supreme treasures within degenerate somewhat can they surface. This treasure stirred for a year before unveiling, showing how unimaginable the treasures within must be!"
"..."
The various groups stirred, their eyes burning with ambition, all eager to become the biggest winner in the treasure competition.
The scene was wildly raucous, vast, and overwhelming!
...
On the outskirts of the city.
Zhan Ying swept a massive sword through the air, taking out another batch of attackers, then looked up at the Snow Mountain Summit, a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
The treasure was about to emerge, and the entire Northwest was in a frenzy. Even if Zhan Ying wanted to hassle Ye Xuan, he didn’t have the energy now.
He had to get into the treasure first to reap the best rewards!
"Let’s go!"
With a light command, Zhan Ying stepped forward, heading towards the snow mountain.
The young man closely followed, slightly worried: "Lord Zhan Ying, in these past few days, you’ve been ambushed no less than ten times and are mentally and physically exhausted. Shouldn’t you rest a bit to ensure everything goes smoothly?"
"What mental and physical exhaustion?" Zhan Ying snorted coldly, "Do that bunch of good-for-nothings think they can wear me down? Ridiculous!"
The young man flinched at his words, realizing his worries were indeed redundant.
Who is Lord Zhan Ying?
He’s unbeatable and invincible, never disappointing the Qiao Family in the past decade. His Qigong is strong and robust, and he certainly can’t be worn down by those who only know how to ambush.
At most, his mood was just a bit annoyed.
The young man’s eyes began to burn with excitement: "On this journey, Lord Zhan Ying will surely claim the treasure, bringing back Ye Xuan’s head to see the Second Young Master!"
...
On the other side of the city.
A pair of young men and women stood side by side on the rooftop.
The man, exceptionally handsome, carried an air of grandeur, yet there was a shadow of gloom on his otherwise flawless face, as if the past few days had not been pleasant.
And the woman, stunningly beautiful with an enchanting aura, complex yet not awkward, even a Heavenly Immortal might pale in comparison to her.
Lou Xinyu, Lou Yaoyao.
Watching the countless figures surging towards the snow mountain, the siblings both showed hints of anticipation in their eyes.
"The greed of human nature is truly terrifying," Lou Yaoyao said with a faint smile, "Wonder how many people will die in this treasure unveiling."
Lou Xinyu sneered: "What? You, a female demon who kills without blinking, suddenly showing mercy and compassion?"
Lately, Lou Xinyu was full of complaints towards Lou Yaoyao, as she constantly told him that he was inferior to Ye Xuan, a hypnotic jab that made Lou Xinyu feel several times that he was indeed not as good as Ye Xuan.
Ridiculous!
Lou Yaoyao glanced at Lou Xinyu, full of teasing: "Lou Xinyu, do you need to be so petty? Just because you got played by Ye Xuan? Still moping over it a few days later?"
Lou Xinyu: "..."
You got played by Ye Xuan, you got played by Ye Xuan!
"Hoo—"
Lou Xinyu exhaled secretly, telling himself to control his emotions, otherwise, he might miss the big event.
A moment later, Lou Xinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Let’s move."
With that, Lou Xinyu vanished from where he stood, blending into the bustling crowd, racing towards the Snow Mountain Summit.
Lou Yaoyao shrugged, muttering, "Go do your thing, I have no interest in playing with you."
As she said this, her eyes, like stars, suddenly filled with excitement.
She wanted to play with Ye Xuan!
...
At the same time.
Ye Xuan and his group of five had already gathered at their hotel, looking out at the vast, overwhelming spectacle, taking it all in with shock.
For some time, they had been frequenting bars, studying the various people coming to the Northwest, thinking they had a thorough understanding, but the scene before them was evidently more astonishing than they imagined.
Many had been hiding in the shadows until this moment to reveal themselves one by one!
"This damn thing..." Ye Lang’s mouth twitched, his face slightly grim: "It’s getting harder and harder to seize the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus!"
"Expected but not entirely foreseen," Ye Xuan grinned, "Let’s move out too."
With that, Ye Xuan turned to head out.
No one moved.
Ye Xuan was taken aback.
Then Ye Xiaoying said calmly, "Let’s go."
Only then did they turn to leave.
Ye Xuan: "..."
You traitors, do you have to take it so seriously? How many days has it been, and you’re still treating Ye Xiaoying as the boss?
Could you really have changed your hearts?
Ye Xuan wanted to curse.
Unfortunately, the contest over the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus had already officially begun, leaving him no time to waste on these traitors.
Shaking his head in resignation, Ye Xuan had to swallow his anger silently and then follow behind Ye Xiaoying out the door.
Five of them officially embarked on their journey.
From the city to the snow mountain, it’s tens of kilometers; Ye Xuan and the group moved neither hurriedly nor slowly, arriving at the foot of the snow mountain an hour later.
The temperature here was already extremely cold, and without enough warm clothing, an ordinary person coming here would likely freeze to death in minutes.
In such harsh conditions, it’s unsurprising that the snow peak, claimed to be the world’s highest, is a major challenge for humanity.
Scaling this snow mountain with human body is truly an unbelievable feat.
Yet today, the figures arriving here were countless.
Moreover, at the foot of this snow mountain, corpses were already strewn everywhere!
