At this moment, Dick was also thinking. He saw Lenny looking at him and asked softly, “Can you find traces of the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale?”

“As long as the thieves haven’t fled too far, we should be able to find them,” Lenny replied.

“In that case, I’ll search for it too.” Dick pondered. “I wonder who stole it and what they want it for…”

Since the enemy had repeatedly stopped him and had also secretly stolen the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale, it seemed that they had other plans in the future. Since he had already ruined the enemy’s superficial plan, he might as well interfere to the end and make the enemy pay the price!

Currently, the army and the generals who had attacked the Forging Sect had been completely annihilated, but the enemy’s true secret plan had already begun…

The enemy had already turned the Walls Village into ruins, killed most of the innocent villagers, and even seriously injured Grandpa Miller… He wanted to continue fighting the enemy and not let them do as they wished!

Hearing that Dick was willing to help, Lenny and the others were overjoyed.

“Alright! This matter cannot be delayed! I’ll start searching now!”

As he spoke, Lenny waved his hand and took out a diamond-tier magical weapon that was glowing with a faint golden light. The flying sword floated not far in front of him.

Although there were still some waves emitting from the flying sword, the aura was already a little weak. Even the blade was covered in fine cracks visible to the naked eye.

This flying sword was a secret treasure of the Forging Sect, which had been passed down from generation to generation with the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale. Now, it was so damaged that even the power of the entire Forging Sect could not repair it.

Earlier, in the chaotic battle with the enemy troops from the Malai Kingdom, Lenny had no choice but to use this flying sword. The extent of the flying sword’s damage deepened.

This magical weapon could not be used as a weapon now, but it still had a use.

Many years ago, the founder of the Forging Sect had tried to fuse the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale and this flying sword into one weapon. In the end, although the smelting had failed, there was still some faint aura of the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale left in the sword. Now, traces of it could be found.

Buzz!

Under the stimulation of Lenny’s magical power, the flying sword, which was already at the end of its flight, trembled slightly. The entire magical weapon suddenly emitted an unprecedented intense golden light, and the cracks on the flying sword also exploded at the same time!

The flying sword shattered and fell to the ground. The sharp golden sword light flickered twice and suddenly flew out of the forbidden ground!

The few of them looked at each other. Without saying anything, they exerted their strength to chase after it.

Outside, Lenny looked at the sword light in the distance with a dark expression. “It’s heading for the Black Forest!”

“Alright, go after him!” Dick nodded gently.

The matter was urgent, so there was no need for further discussion. The two elders of the Forging Sect were left to deal with the aftermath of the battle, and Dick had also left two retainers to assist in the aftermath. Then, Lenny led the three elders, and Dick led the four retainers. The nine of them went to the Black Forest to search for the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale.

After the nine of them had left, the magic protective formation of the Forging Sect was activated again. If there were any more enemy attacks, it would be able to block them for a while.

However, with the army of the Sebastian Kingdom around to restrain them, the army of Malai Kingdom would not be able to spare the time to attack the Forging Sect.

… .

This was not Dick’s first time entering the Black Forest. The last time he came in had been under the request of those two to come to the periphery to complete the sect mission.

With Lenny’s guidance, Dick stepped into the depths of the Black Forest for the first time, with the others.

As there were two countries fighting outside the Black Forest, there was no one in the forest.

After the Forging Sect had given chase for half a day into the depths of the Black Forest, night had already fallen. The faint golden sword light not far in front of them became lighter and lighter. It seemed that it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Everyone who was chasing the sword light became more and more puzzled. After the thieves had stolen the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale, why did they flee into the depths of the Black Forest? And they did not seem to stop or turn along the way… Could it be that the other party had already guessed that there would be someone pursuing them?

Just as everyone was puzzled, the faint light in front of them trembled twice and completely dissipated!

Dick and the others paused and frowned at the spot where the golden light had dissipated.

Lenny sighed in his heart and said helplessly, “I have no choice. I can only continue to expand the search in the same direction as before. If I can’t find them no matter what, then I can only… turn back.”

“Let’s try again, then.” Dick nodded. “Let’s go.”

The nine of them continued to fly in the same direction as before. This area was already deep in the Black Forest. Along the way, they encountered many magical beasts, but the few of them restrained their magical aura and did not fight with the magical beasts.

An hour later, Lenny and the other three sighed in their hearts. They could not find any traces of the enemy at all. They would probably not be able to find the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale again.

Suddenly, Dick stopped in his tracks and stopped on the ground.

The others were stunned for a moment, and they also paused. Lenny sighed. “Sigh, why don’t we…”

“Something’s not right there,” Dick interrupted directly, pointing to a spot on the ground ahead on the left.

The eight of them were slightly stunned. They all extended their soul senses and checked carefully, but they did not sense anything wrong. They all looked at Dick with questioning eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Dick said calmly, “There is the fluctuation of a sacred tool underground.”

Although the other eight people did not sense the fluctuation of a sacred tool, they did not suspect what Dick had said. If they could not sense it, it meant that something had been used to cover this place. Dick was a top Great Archmage, so he could naturally sense more information.

A Forging Sect elder asked, “Is this fluctuation from the sacred tool, the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale?”

“Not sure,” Dick replied.

“Why don’t we go down and find out?” Lenny still wanted to find the treasure that stabilized the sect. “It might be. Let’s go and confirm!”

No one had any objections. Going underground to search for treasures had been decided.

With Dick in the lead, the group of Great Archmagi used earth escape magical power to plunge deep underground.

Apart from the shallow layers of the earth’s crust where people often lived, whether it was going up or down, the resistance was generally getting stronger.

It was said that there was a chaotic wind in the Nine Heavens, and even a Divine Mage was afraid to advance rapidly. Only those of the Heavenly Divine Realm could come and go freely in that layer of the sky. Legend had it that after passing through the chaotic wind layer, one would arrive at the land beyond the heavens.

There were also places called the void space and the heavenly realm… In short, there were several sayings.

Regarding the heavenly realm, all the information available were legends.

Ever since the primordial calamity’s Sky Ascension Stairs had been shattered, no one had ascended for hundreds of years. It was said that a Heavenly Divine Mage had flown to the land beyond the heavens, and there had been no news of him since.

There were obstacles in the sky, but the core of the earth underground was endless!

The depths of the earth’s core were countless kilometers deep. Even with the power of a Great Archmage, he could not see the bottom…

Dick and the others were extremely fast. It did not take long for them to dive 500 kilometers underground. At this moment, Lenny and the others had also sensed the fluctuations of magical treasure coming from below.

Lenny was pleasantly surprised. “It’s indeed the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale!”

They had really found the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale!!

Everyone looked solemn. As they dived down to search, they were alarmed and bewildered. Why had the enemy fled here?

After going further down, the few of them were surprised. Further down, there was a very wide area with mixed energy. Even their soul senses could not detect what was inside…

“Is this a magic formation?!”

“How can there be such a large magic formation in the depths of the Black Forest?!”

“A concealing magic formation… Is this to prevent others from discovering them?”

“The aura is there!”

The few of them discussed spiritedly. Although they could not figure out the details, they had all sensed a powerful aura in the southeast corner of the large area of chaotic energy.

On the heads of the nine people, there was a sacred tool, a gourd, which could pour out gray light and hide their magical power aura. It had come from the cave in the mystic realm of the Red Rose Sea. Concealment was only one of its functions.

They quietly passed through the concealed area formed by the magic formation and saw a large empty space!
