Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: It Really Is the ’Treasure Seizure

To the members of Sicuro, this scepter is absolutely extraordinary, which explains their jubilation.

They see it as the symbol of absolute power, a privilege only the King of Country Y could possess.

Having the scepter means Sicuro has returned to its peak, a significance that countless words cannot express.

Han Shang received the scepter, finally becoming the rightful absolute King of Sicuro. The presence of the scepter signifies Sicuro’s prosperity and invincibility, which embodies the faith all followers uphold.

Thus, when this scene unfolded, their hearts trembled in a completely different way.

...

Gu Tong was once a member of Sicuro, a close aide to Han Shang. How could she not understand the significance of the scepter that stopped the killing?

Once upon a time, Han Shang relied on this scepter to reach an unsurpassable zenith, a feat unimaginable to others!

After the previous fainting spell, Gu Tong seemed to have found the so-called mental equilibrium point. As long as she didn’t exceed that point, she would have no issues, even when recalling past events, she would maintain an appropriate calm.

It seemed to have become a habit, a level of acceptance.

It was akin to the gradually increasing human capacity, much like an athlete who has undergone high-intensity training can quickly withstand various intensity exercises.

Gu Tong reminisced about past events, yet her brain wouldn’t ache anymore; she felt extraordinarily comfortable.

...

’Clunk—’

Han Shang descended the gold mountain, his black leather boots trampling on gold without flinching, the gold-twinkling treasures before him seemed particularly insignificant in his eyes.

Han Shang nonchalantly retrieved the scepter, his demeanor calm, saying, "We Sicuro have found what we wanted, it’s your turn!"

Indeed, Han Shang is true to his word.

Having promised Xue Tong, he would surely follow through.

Piles of gold and silver, yet he remained unfazed, a feat uncommon to most people.

Gu Tong pursed her lips, glanced at Xia Xi, saying, "You go search!"

Gu Tong didn’t have a deep memory of the ancient tomb, unlike Xia Xi, who recalled it herself.

Xia Xi did not refuse; she began searching with her memory, her aims precise, able to quickly find what she sought.

At the center between the gold and silver mountains was an irregular wooden platform.

The censer atop it emitted white smoke, peering inside, the first thing visible was the central Buddhist statue.

The Buddha statue was pure white, its face like a hundred autumn full moons gathered together, exceedingly complete and free from impurities, its body like thousands of stars converging, shining brightly.

Just a glance...

Yet it seemed to dissolve all worries.

"This is..." Gu Tong strode forward, glanced at the statue, then at Xia Xi, saying, "Seizing the Relic..."

Precisely, it’s the task of ’Seizing the Relic’!

Gu Qing once mentioned that the true core of the ’Seizing the Relic’ task was to find the statues from the Qing Dynasty, tributes from the Tibet Plateau. There are twenty-one statues, considered national treasures of great value.

Gu Tong had once investigated these statues; if there’s no mistake, the statue before them is one of them.

Xia Xi’s heart leapt with joy, saying, "It truly is ’Seizing the Relic’..."

Gu Tong nodded, saying, "I have researched the materials on ’Seizing the Relic’, it can’t be wrong, this should indeed be the Buddha statue..."

The saying goes, you searched high and low only to find it easily, perhaps that describes the scene before us.
