C355 Heaven's Secret

Tang Chen was Mr. Tang's direct disciple. Before he went to investigate, he and the other three were called the "Four Great Heavenly Kings" of Tang Sect. Under the careful nurturing of the Tang Sect and Mr. Tang, Tang Chen encountered super experts such as the head of Shaolin Dharma Academy and the elders of Wudang Mountain. If he encountered a peerless expert, he could even escape with a few treasures that he had brought along on this trip.

However, ever since he went to Loyalty Trapped Valley, it was as if he had really turned into dust. After that, he became completely silent. The large group of people from the Tang Sect in the Wudang Mountain received the news once again, and told them to stay quietly for a while. Calm down, don't be impatient, but didn't mention Tang Chen's whereabouts at all.

The Tang Sect was also greatly shocked when they received the pigeon's message. If it wasn't for the fact that they still needed to take care of important matters, Mr. Tang would have personally come to the Loyalty Trapped Valley to search for him.

The situation in Witch Door Sect was similar, because the Sect Chief of Witch Door Sect, Hai Pingtao, was the only one in his generation. It could be said that he was a loner in the sect, and his top three disciples, Hai Jianchi, Hai Jiancheng, and Hai Jianhuang, had been in the sect for a long time. He was the one who had helped them, and had made countless contributions. The next Sect Chief was almost certain to be born among these three people.

When he had received the news back then, Hai Jian had happened to be in the middle of the Central Plains carrying out activities such as sowing discord between the emperors and ministers of Ming Dynasty and being in charge of assassinations. One man and one sword had caused the peace between the emperors and ministers of Bright Court to fall apart, and Emperor Chong Zhen had even killed Yuan Chonghuan. He had made the people of Beijing think that he was a traitor and wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood and crush his bones.

It could be said that although Emperor Chong Zhen was headstrong and self-righteous, Hai Jian had bribed the eunuchs and officials to keep talking to him.

Hai Jian saw Huang following his master's order to enter Void Trapped Mountain's Loyalty Trapped Valley to investigate the situation. This trip was like a mud cow entering the ocean, and there was no more news from him.

The Witch Door Sect's secret communication office in Beijing was picked at this time. Eight disciples, more than a dozen servants and maids were all killed. He wrote a few big words on the wall with blood, "Before the time comes, the heavenly secrets will not be revealed!"

Although this case had become a suspenseful case that had caused a sensation in the capital, Hai Pingtao knew that this was to tell him that before the time came, he would send someone over with only one word: death.

3rd month, 24th day, Gu Yu.

Only on this day, it was said that all the mysteries would be revealed.

As for what kind of information the Tang Sect and Witch Door Sect received, only the core disciples know. Even the core disciples only knew that it had been seven days since that day. A supreme treasure would appear in the Void Trapped Mountain's Loyalty Trapped Valley.

The reason why the Tang Sect and Witch Door Sect were so eager to obtain this supreme treasure was because it was said that its appearance was enough to change the current situation. Furthermore, some of the legendary abilities of this treasure had made the hearts of the people of these two sects palpitate with eagerness.

In addition, they had lost their most powerful disciples, so they couldn't just let this matter go just like that.

Hence, the two great sects simultaneously mobilized forces that were enough to shock the martial arts world and came here to search for treasures.

The Witch Door Sect was personally overseen by Hai Pingtao, so it could be seen that this matter was extraordinary.

Hai Pingtao had retreated from the pass after the battle with Jiang Buyu, and the seven year agreement had been fulfilled. It was the first time in his life that he had entered the pass so far. For the sake of his special purpose, he had to avoid unnecessary complications, so he had not made a big fuss about it. Therefore, almost no one knew that this great malefic had come to the Central Plains.

Hai Jiancheng, Hai Jianlv, Hai Jianqing, Hai Jianlan and Hai Jianzi were with him, as well as the other five great disciples. There were more than ten second generation disciples, and Hai Jianchi, the eldest disciple, was left to guard outside the pass.

Along with him were the grandmasters in charge of Liaoyang Guang You Temple, Tong An.

This temple was founded in the Han Dynasty, and was then reconstructed by Tang Yuchi respectfully. In the Liao Dynasty, it was at its peak. The mother of Yan Yong, Li Hong, was willing to become a monk here after the five years of the Golden Era Sect. At its peak, there were more than two hundred pagodas in the hall. Usually, those who did not know about the temple would only think of Master Tong An as an eminent monk, but they did not know that the martial arts in Guang You Temple were mixed with the essence of Tang, Liao, and Jin. It was a force that wasn't weaker than the Witch Door Sect outside of the pass. However, the people of Buddhism didn't like fierce battles, so they didn't deserve to be recognized by the world.

This time, the master of the coastal city was appointed as the imperial advisor by Abahai, and he even promised Abahai that he would kill less people in the world. That was why he asked the master of the coastal city to do this for him.

The master of the island didn't bring any disciples with him. He came to the Loyalty Trapped Valley of Void Trapped Mountain with the people of Witch Door Sect by himself. Although the people of Buddhism were compassionate, they still couldn't escape from the contamination of the mortal world. It was a kind of tragedy.

Great Master Tong An and Hai Pingtao of Witch Door Sect, along with four disciples and six others, had already arrived at the halfway point of Void Trapped Mountain early in the morning. They had entered the Loyalty Trapped Valley half a day earlier than the message had said. It was basically for the sake of getting up early so that there would be insects to eat.

Along the way, Hai Jianlv and Hai Jianqing had killed quite a number of big Diglett, and even a small Salamander. To them, killing was just a form of cultivation. As for Great Master Tong An, he was silently chanting Buddhist Dharma. It seemed like he was transcending the death spirits of these creatures. It seemed like they were already used to this kind of behavior. He did not even try to dissuade them.

After that, the people who entered the Loyalty Trapped Valley were also lost in the blood-red golden forest. However, at this moment, no one or animals came to tease them. After going in and out three or four times, they had lost most of the time advantage they had built in the beginning. At this time, the irritable Hai Jianlv was already irritated to the limit.

Hai Jianlv was a burly man. He was even a little higher than Hai Jianzi, who needed people to look up to him. He was tall and big, almost twice as wide as the slim Hai Jianzi. When he moved, he was like a moving hill. However, his movements were so light that he didn't even make a sound when he walked and landed on the ground. It was as if you suddenly saw a rhinoceros in the forest, but discovered that its movements were as light as an antelope's. What kind of strange contrast would that be? It was hard to accept. Although his movements were light, Hai Jianlv's temper was proportionate to his size.

As he shuttled back and forth in the strange forest, the person who was the most displeased was naturally Hai Jianlv. Because of his huge stature, he had been accidentally cut by the golden, hard, and sharp leaves twice. He felt that there was no end to this aimlessly walking path. Hai Jianlv couldn't help but curse loudly as he walked.

Hai Pingtao seemed to be more like a discipliner to his disciples. He did not care about Hai Jianlv's behavior. He just looked at the dense forest in front of him with an expressionless face.

Hai Jianzi only temporarily became mute, but he wasn't deaf. He heard his fourth senior brother cursing from afar. For the first time, he felt that his fourth senior brother was scolding him so kindly. Therefore, he quickly ran over from the slope, not caring whether the people from Tang Sect could catch up with him or not.
