Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5398 - 5398 The Cave Abode

"Sure!" Jian Wushuang also agreed.

The two shared a knowing smile, ready to leave the Swirling Sea region.

Suddenly, ahead of them, there was a tremor, and an ancient bronze giant gate appeared, startling both of them.

Jian Wushuang was ecstatic; unexpectedly, today brought even more joy as they stumbled upon ancient ruins.

"Haha, let's go inside first and take a look. There's no rush!" Bai Junwang understood Jian Wushuang's thoughts. He had no interest in ordinary treasures, but Jian Wushuang, being a Dao Lord, still needed many valuable items. Encountering ruins meant they should explore.

Moreover, he hadn't taken action in a long time and felt the urge to warm up.

"Alright!"

The two immediately rushed toward the bronze gate.

Not far away, Gong Miaoyi, holding a jade slip, flashed a cold gaze and said, "This way!"

The group changed direction and entered the depths of the swirling currents.

Jian Wushuang gently touched the bronze giant gate with his telekinetic force, attempting to penetrate it but found it impossible to enter.

"It seems to be the cave mansion of a tier 5 Emperor. The formation set up is extraordinary!" Jian Wushuang muttered, somewhat disappointed.

Originally, he thought it might be the cave mansion of a tier 6 Emperor.

The cave mansion of a tier 5 Emperor wasn't of great value.

In the ruins, the most important thing wasn't treasures; he didn't lack supreme treasures, and the Beast God Weapon was enough for him for a long time. The supreme Eternal Treasure wasn't needed at the moment.

The general inheritance is even more worthless; he possesses a complete Heavenly Demon secret technique, and his divine body is not lacking in secret techniques.

The origin source is useful for harnessing the power of all things, and it also requires the augmentation of origin source secret techniques. He can even create origin source secret techniques now.

His spatial origin source is almost at the level of a black hole.

Although his clone that entered the black hole has been constantly being sucked in, it has been continuously comprehending the mysteries of the black hole, conveying its profound secrets to him at every moment.

Jian Wushuang really doesn't care about the tier 5 Emperor's Mansion; it's only now, with it right in front of him, that he bothers to take a look. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered.

Bai Junwang stepped forward, and as soon as his consciousness moved, he sensed a presence approaching.

In the underwater environment, where the monster aura is dense, it's challenging to detect the aura of a powerful being!

Jian Wushuang didn't sense it at all, but fortunately, Bai Junwang is very sensitive to auras, and he instantly perceived someone approaching.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a group of black-robed and masked individuals appeared before them.

"I didn't expect there to be someone here!"

The cold voice came from the lead woman, who turned out to be Gong Miaoyi.

It was a group of nine people.

Three tier 4 Emperors, each a top-notch powerhouse.

The remaining six, all at the pinnacle of the tier 3.

However, Jian Wushuang's side didn't show weakness either. Bai Junwang's aura stabilized, also at the top of tier 4. Of course, if he were to unleash his full strength, his physical body could withstand a peak tier 4.

Jian Wushuang also revealed the aura of a peak tier 3.

For a moment, both sides were in a standoff.

"Two Fellow Daoists, this place was opened by me..."

Before the other could finish speaking, Bai Junwang took a step forward, directly launching a deliberate punch. A massive vacuum bubble formed in the sea within thousands of miles, followed by an explosion.

Boom!

No words were exchanged; they went straight into action!

Jian Wushuang hadn't expected Bai Junwang to recover his origin source just like that!

But now that it had started, he couldn't just stand idly by.

"Stop!!"

Just as Jian Wushuang was about to take action, Gong Miaoyi quickly shouted to halt them.

Gong Miaoyi produced a jade slip and said coldly, "I did indeed open this cave. Without the jade slip, you couldn't enter!"

This stroke of bad luck had her opening the cave and immediately facing a formidable opponent.

Bai Junwang's just erupted power was equivalent to a peak tier 4. Their group might not be a match.

"Miss, I've encountered that tier 3 Emperor before!" an old man with white hair stepped forward, looking at Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang also recognized the identity of the other party and gestured for Bai Junwang to stop.

Seeing this, the old man was momentarily surprised, and the other Emperors also realized that Jian Wushuang was the one in charge, while Bai Junwang seemed more like a bodyguard.

Perhaps Jian Wushuang's aura resembled that of someone in a higher position or a scion of a prominent family.

With this speculation, they dared not act recklessly.

A tier 4 peak Emperor acting as a bodyguard implied that Jian Wushuang had substantial backing, at least the direct heir of a major family.

"Fellow Daoist, it's been a hundred years, but old man hopes you still recognize him!" The old man's tone was extremely gentle.

However, Gong Miaoyi's heart sank. This cave was crucial to her, and with outsiders already present and now encountering someone who seemed like a scion of a major family, the situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

Jian Wushuang raised his figure, locking eyes with the others, and said calmly, "My memory isn't that bad. Let's talk about the cave mansion below!"

He wasn't particularly curious about his own cave mansion, but the presence of two tier 4 Emperors with the aura of Mo Luo cultivators intrigued him.

"Fellow Daoist, I am the daughter of the head of the Stellar Pavilion. I came this time to explore the opportunity left by my mother, which is that cave mansion!" Gong Miaoyi stepped forward, removed her wide-brimmed hat, revealing her flowing long hair, and looked at Jian Wushuang with captivating eyes.

Jian Wushuang, with his keen eyes, saw through the veil, but beauty had long lost its effect on him. He only nodded slightly and said, "Oh, I see! That's a coincidence."

Gong Miaoyi's face lit up, thinking that her self-introduction had an effect.

What she didn't expect was the sharpness in Jian Wushuang's next words.

"Coincidentally, I am here to open the ancestral cave mansion as well. Since we've run into an acquaintance today, how about we explore it together?" Jian Wushuang spoke casually, making it clear that the cave mansion had nothing to do with him, just toying with them.

Bai Junwang showed a fierce expression, sneering, "You say it's yours, so it's yours? I could say this little girl has something going on with me!"

"Haha!"

A reckless arrogance!

On Gong Miaoyi's side, she felt helpless. She couldn't fight them now, and if she didn't, she might face them again after opening the cave mansion.

Fortunately, Gong Miaoyi was prepared. She took a deep breath, forced composure, and secretly communicated with the Mo Luo cultivators.

"Senior, I agree to your conditions. I'm willing to offer half of the treasures from the Stellar Pavilion to His Royal Highness, and also... my freedom for the next 10,000 years!" Her voice trembled as she uttered these words.

Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes, sensing something suspicious. Clearly, the other party had some hidden cards. However, with Gong Miaoyi's self-introduction, the Stellar Pavilion didn't seem like a major power, lacking even a tier 5 Emperor. He wasn't concerned.

What concerned him more were the Mo Luo cultivators. It seemed they had already started communicating through voice transmission after hearing Gong Miaoyi's self-disclosure.

"As Fourth Prince, Gong Miaoyi has agreed!"
