Chapter 356: Thunder-Proof Token

The opportunity was now or never to be missed. He took a deep breath, used all his strength, and ran forward at full speed, trying to get rid of the only three pursuers left behind him.

He was seen dragging his scarred and bloodstained body, but he still gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried his best to move his body.

His eyes were fixed on the barren field ahead, no longer caring about anything else, because that was his only way to survive.

At this time, Wu Ming was using his spiritual sense to control the flying sword and had just successfully inflicted heavy damage on the man in black. Just as he was about to pursue the victory, he suddenly saw the man in black throw out four tokens without hesitation.

Wu Ming suddenly felt doubtful and wary. However, as he recalled the solemn instructions from the palace, he suddenly realized that the top priority of this operation was to recover the lost treasure! No matter the cost, it must be taken back.

At this moment, Wu Ming finally understood why Nangong Wending and others would rather give up the man in black who was about to be defeated and chase the four tokens at all costs.

Even though they knew this was most likely a trap set by the men in black, they had no choice but to take the bait without hesitation.

Just when everyone was momentarily stunned by this sudden change, unexpectedly, one of the four tokens actually rushed straight towards the top of the city where Wu Ming was standing.

Seeing that extremely precious treasure flying towards him, how could Wu Ming easily miss it?

His mind raced, his consciousness moved suddenly, and an invisible force instantly burst out from him, accurately controlling the token that was flying rapidly in the air and quickly bringing it back to his own hands.

The man in black also took advantage of this opportunity and jumped into the dark night with his seriously injured body. Deputy Commander Zhou Ling, Bai Mansion's priest, and the county police chief also chased the man in black into the dark night.

Suddenly, four sounds of breaking through the air were heard. It turned out that the four people from the Bai Mansion who were chasing the treasure had rushed to the top of the city wall. They didn't know that at this moment, Wu Ming was completely immersed in a strange and mysterious state.

Just as Wu Ming obtained the mysterious token, a strong tremor suddenly struck the depths of his soul.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if countless rays of inspiration flashed and intertwined in his mind, and then some knowledge and information that he had never heard of or seen before inexplicably emerged.

After careful investigation, it turned out that these were a kind of mysterious restriction technique - the lightning restriction!

This lightning-proof restriction is a huge formation composed of thousands of extremely exquisite array symbols connected to each other.

It possesses an amazing magical ability, capable of absorbing the rolling thunder from the nine heavens and storing it continuously;

Not only that, it can also transform the stored heavenly thunder into an extremely fierce attack and release it outward, the power of which is earth-shattering.

Judging from Wu Ming's current knowledge and experience, this formation is too mysterious, difficult, powerful and brave, and it does not seem like something that should exist in the mortal world.

Although he tried his best to get a glimpse of the mystery, he could only barely understand a little bit in a short period of time.

Just as Wu Ming was concentrating on studying the restriction, a rough and bold voice suddenly rang out: "Wu boy, what on earth are you daydreaming about?"

This sudden shout woke Wu Ming, who was immersed in the forbidden world.

"Eh? Commander Nangong, why did you suddenly turn back? Aren't you going to continue chasing that mysterious man in black?"

Wu Ming suddenly came back to his senses and was surprised to find that Nangong Wending and the other four had quietly stood beside him without him noticing.

At this moment, Wu Ming temporarily put aside his painful thoughts about the restriction in his mind.

After all, this restriction was extremely complex, and it was impossible to understand its secrets in a short period of time. So, he made a quick decision and turned to ask questions.

One of the priests nodded slightly and said slowly, "With Commander Zhou and the other three out, it's enough to chase the man in black.

Right now, our most urgent and important task is to escort this invaluable treasure back home safely.

Come on, Wu boy, how are your injuries recovering now?

If you are not seriously injured, please come back to the mansion with us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming quickly responded, "Thank you for your concern, Senior. My injuries have almost fully recovered, and I shouldn't have any problems returning home."

He knew very well that the treasure in his hand must be of great importance. In this case, it would be inappropriate to ask too many questions about other minor details.

"Very good! Then without further delay, let's set off and return to the palace immediately."

Before he finished speaking, Nangong Wending took the lead and flashed with the other two priests, leaping off the top of the city wall like a light flying swallow, and then galloped towards the Bai Mansion without stopping.

Seeing this, Wu Ming also followed the three of them and rushed towards Bai Mansion, leaving only one of the attendants to guard the place and escort Zhou Ling and the other two who were chasing the man in black.

In just a moment, Wu Ming, Nangong Wending and the two priests had successfully returned to the Bai Mansion.

As soon as they stepped into the mansion gate, the butler of the Bai Mansion quickly came forward and led them towards where Old Madam Bai was without hesitation.

When the four of them arrived before Madam Bai, they saw her sitting dignifiedly in front of the hall, with a barely perceptible trace of sadness on her wrinkled face.

But the moment he saw Wu Ming and others returning, the sadness on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.

Madam Bai slowly stood up and asked in a calm tone, but with a subtle hint of urgency: "How is it? Did you successfully retrieve the treasure you went looking for?"

Hearing this, Nangong Wending, who was standing at the front, quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Madam, I have fulfilled your order and have indeed retrieved the treasure.

However...some minor unexpected circumstances occurred during the process, which resulted in a slight deviation in the final result. Therefore, I implore you, Madam, to be more discerning."

As he spoke, he carefully took out an exquisite token from his bosom, then held it high and presented it to Madam Bai.

At the same time, Wu Ming and the two priests followed suit and took out the tokens they had obtained.

When Old Lady Bai first heard the word "mistake" said by Nangong Wending, her heart skipped a beat and she secretly wondered what had happened.
