The Journey Against Time, I am the King of Scrolls in a Hundred Times Space
Chapter 71 The mystery deepens
After a fierce battle with the men in black, Lin Feng and others hurriedly got rid of their entanglement and rushed towards the sect without stopping. Along the way, everyone's mood was like a gloomy sky, heavy and depressing. No one thought that just because of a rumor about a mysterious treasure, it would involve so many dangers and conspiracies.
When we returned to the sect, night had fallen and the stars were shining brightly. But there is no peace and tranquility in the sect in the past, and the tense atmosphere permeates every corner. Lin Feng didn't bother to rest and immediately summoned everyone in the lobby for emergency discussions.
In the lobby, candlelight flickered, reflecting the tired and serious faces of everyone. Lin Feng sat in the first place, his face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes showed deep worry.
"This incident is far more complicated than we imagined. It is still difficult to tell whether the mysterious man's words are true or false, but there is no doubt that the men in black came prepared. Their goals are clear and their methods are ruthless. It is obvious that There is a powerful force behind it. We are in a whirlpool now, and we must be extremely careful. If we make a wrong move, we may fall into a place of catastrophe." Lin Feng's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the lobby.
A young disciple couldn't help but speak, his face still showed the panic after the battle: "Master, what should we do next? Should we continue to pursue the secret of the treasure, or should we put it aside for the time being and wait for the situation to become clearer? Make any further plans?”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound: "The matter of the treasure is of great importance. If it is true as the mysterious man said, there are ancient ruins behind it, and there are endless treasures and peerless secrets. If the secrets of martial arts fall into the hands of people with evil intentions, the world will be plunged into a bloody storm, and the consequences will be unimaginable. However, we cannot act blindly and make decisions before taking action. "
At this time, Su Yao, who had been standing aside and listening silently, took a step forward. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes shone with wisdom: "Master, I think we should first investigate the identity of those men in black." The origin. Their martial arts methods, organizational structure, and even the financial backers behind them may be able to find the key to breakthrough from these clues.”
Lin Feng nodded slightly and agreed with Su Yao's proposal: "What Su Yao said is absolutely true. I'll leave this matter to you. You must be careful and don't alert the snake. When in danger, you must put your own safety first. Don't do anything. Show off your strength."
Su Yao nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will fulfill my mission." After that, she turned around and left the hall with several disciples, and began to investigate.
At the same time, Lin Feng was not idle either. He plunged into the sect's library, looking for clues that might be related to the incident in the mountains of ancient books. The library pavilion was filled with the smell of old books. Lin Feng shuttled between the rows of bookshelves, his eyes eagerly scanning the yellowed volumes one after another.
Lin Feng read through the vast ancient books day and night, forgetting to eat or sleep. His eyes were bloodshot from reading for a long time, but his spirit was always highly concentrated, not letting go of any potentially useful information. Finally, in a corner, he found an ancient book that had been dusted by time.
Lin Feng gently brushed off the dust on the book and opened it carefully. On the yellowed paper, blurry handwriting gradually appeared before his eyes. The book mentions that there was once an extremely mysterious organization that had been secretly searching for a treasure with the power to destroy the world for hundreds of years, trying to achieve its ulterior ambitions and purposes. However, there is no detail in the book about the specific name of this organization and the detailed description of its treasures.
Lin Feng closed the book and fell into deep contemplation. "Is this treasure related to this mysterious organization? If so, how long have they been secretly planning for? How many forces are secretly controlled by them?" A series of questions swirled in his mind, giving him a splitting headache. .
While Lin Feng was immersed in his own thoughts, Su Yao came back. Her steps were a little hurried, and her face looked a little tired, but her eyes showed excitement.
"Master, I found some important clues. Those men in black seem to be the killers of an organization called the 'Shadow Hall'. This organization has always been secretive and little-known. They specialize in serving some powerful people and perform various tasks. assassination , stealing information and other shady activities. As far as I know, the 'Shadow Hall' is well organized and hierarchical. Its members have undergone rigorous training, are highly skilled in martial arts, and are ruthless." Su Yao finished speaking in one breath, breathing heavily. gas.
Lin Feng frowned and his expression became more serious: "'Shadow Hall'? I have never heard of this name. But judging from your description, the power behind them must not be underestimated. Those who can force such an organization to work for them must not be underestimated. The ambitions of the powerful may not be small.”
Su Yao continued: "Moreover, during the investigation, I also found that several other sects have been attacked by similar attacks recently. Some of these sects were secretly sabotaged in the process of tracking down treasures, and some were stolen because of their mastery. All the signs indicate that there seems to be a huge net behind this, covering all the people and forces related to the treasure. "
Lin Feng stood up and paced back and forth in the lobby. His steps were heavy, as if every step was carrying huge pressure: "What is the magic power of this treasure that can make so many forces flock to it? Does it really have the power to subvert the world as legendary? Or is it just a treasure? Bait, a conspiracy that causes all parties to fight against each other? It seems that we must speed up and find out the truth of all this as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late by the time the situation gets out of control."
At this moment, a disciple hurried into the lobby with a nervous expression: "Master, there is an old man outside the door asking to see him, saying he knows important things about the treasure."
Lin Feng and Su Yao looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and vigilance.
"Bring him in." Lin Feng thought for a while and decided to meet this mysterious old man first.
Not long after, a gray-haired old man walked into the lobby under the guidance of his disciples. Although the old man was old, his eyes showed an indescribable shrewdness and sharpness. His clothes are simple, but neat and clean, his steps are steady, and he doesn't look senile at all.
"Everyone, I am here to help you." The old man said straight to the point, his voice loud and powerful.
Lin Feng cupped his hands and said: "Senior, please make it clear. I, the junior, and others are struggling with this matter. If senior can provide useful information, I will be grateful."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced around the people present, and then said slowly: "This treasure is the key to a mysterious treasure house. The treasure house is hidden deep underground. After hundreds of years, no one knows its exact location. . But according to legend, there is something hidden in the treasure house. The power that can subvert the world may be a peerless martial arts secret, or it may be an extremely powerful magic weapon. However, this treasure has been cursed by a powerful one. If someone with evil intentions gets it, it will definitely bring disaster to the entire world. Into darkness and chaos.”
Lin Feng was shocked and asked: "How did senior know this? Is this news true?"
The old man smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face were criss-crossed like ravines: "To be honest, I was once a member of that mysterious organization. Many years ago, I accidentally discovered their conspiracy. In order to obtain the treasure, they did not hesitate to sacrifice countless innocent people. Their methods were extremely cruel. I couldn't stand what they did, and my conscience was so reprehensible that I fled the organization. Over the years, I have been investigating this matter incognito, hoping that one day I can stop their evil deeds. "
When Lin Feng and others heard this, they were even more shocked. They never expected that the old man in front of them would have such a tortuous experience.
The old man paused and then said: "I know that your sect has always been righteous, so I decided to show up to help. But I also have a condition."
Lin Feng looked at the old man warily: "What conditions? As long as it is reasonable, I will definitely agree."
The old man said with firm eyes: "After you find the treasure, you must use it to benefit the world and maintain justice and peace. It cannot be used for selfish desires. If you violate it, I will not let you go even if I risk my life."
Lin Feng nodded solemnly, with a serious and solemn expression: "Senior, don't worry, I, Lin Feng, swear here that if I can really get the treasure, I will abide by this agreement. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning from the sky, and I will not die a good death."
The old man smiled with satisfaction, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Next, we have to discuss the next plan..."
The atmosphere in the lobby gradually became heated, and everyone expressed their opinions. A discussion on how to uncover the mystery of the treasure and save the world was in full swing...
