Chapter 241 Traces
With a muffled thud, a treasure shimmering with an eerie light appeared before them. They picked it up, exchanged a glance, and knew their adventure had been remarkably successful. Above, the black-robed man paled in horror and turned to flee. It turned out that the mysterious force guarding this place had sensed the impending danger and come to their aid. As the golden light grew stronger, the black-robed man finally vanished without a trace. Number Two and the woman gazed at the sky, understanding that the crisis was temporarily averted.
Number Two slowly put away the treasure and looked at the woman, saying, "Although we have the treasure, we must leave this place as soon as possible. Who knows if there will be other coveters?" The woman nodded slightly in agreement. Just as the two were about to move, the surrounding space suddenly distorted. Figures appeared and disappeared, revealing a group of mysterious people dressed in white. "You think you can take the treasure so easily? This treasure originally belonged to our clan and was guarded by us. Today, that black-robed thief just beat us to it!" one of the white-robed figures shouted. Number Two gripped his weapon tightly, wary, and said, "Then what do you want? We just fought a fierce battle to repel the black-robed man." As the golden light grew stronger, the black-robed man's figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared completely from this world, as if he had never existed. Number Two and the woman looked up at the sky, the weight in their hearts finally lifted. They knew that this heart-stopping crisis was temporarily averted.
Number Two carefully placed the treasure, radiating a mysterious light, into his robes. He then turned to the woman beside him, his expression grave, and said, "Although this treasure is now in our hands, we cannot linger here. We must leave as soon as possible. After all, no one can guarantee that there aren't other unscrupulous individuals secretly eyeing this rare treasure." The woman nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. So, after a brief adjustment, just as they were about to set off, the surrounding space began to violently distort without warning.
In an instant, figures appeared and disappeared in the distorted space, drifting like ghosts. As these figures gradually became clearer, the two were shocked to realize that the newcomers were a group of mysterious figures dressed in snow-white robes!
The leader stepped forward, his icy eyes fixed on Number Two and the woman. His words were filled with chilling intent and killing intent: "Hmph! You two shouldn't be so delusional as to think you can take the treasure away so easily. This treasure has been carefully guarded by our clan for generations, but unfortunately, that despicable black-robed thief got it first. Now that the treasure is back in our hands, how can we tolerate such petty villains as you trying to lay a finger on it?" After saying this, the group of mysterious white-clad figures began to release their incredibly powerful auras, like a surging, intangible pressure, sweeping towards Number Two and the woman with overwhelming force.
Despite the terrifying pressure, Number Two remained fearless, though he knew the situation was extremely unfavorable for him. Just then, the woman beside him quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Don't act rashly. Try to stall them for time, and find a suitable opportunity to break through." Number Two nodded slightly, agreeing with her suggestion. Thus, a thrilling new standoff began… A mysterious figure in a snow-white robe! The leader stepped forward, coldly staring at Number Two and the woman, and said in a chilling tone, "Hmph! Don't be delusional that you can take this treasure away so easily. This treasure has been guarded by our clan for generations, but unfortunately, that black-robed villain got there first. Now that the treasure is back in our hands, how dare you lowly scoundrels lay a finger on it!" With that, the group of white-clad mysterious figures released powerful auras, like an invisible pressure, and cleared their throats, loudly replying, "You keep saying this treasure has been guarded by your clan for generations, but what proof do you have? And who is that black-robed man? Perhaps you are the thieves who stole the treasure." The leader of the white-clad mysterious figures' expression changed slightly, and he coldly snorted, "What we guard needs no proof from you. As for that black-robed man, he is a notorious thief who specializes in stealing treasures from all sides."
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a strange streak of light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by the appearance of a small sprite radiating seven-colored light. The sprite said with a grin, "This treasure doesn't belong to anyone. It's a spiritual object born naturally from heaven and earth, and it will be obtained by the destined one. Why are you fighting tooth and nail here?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Number Two was the first to react. He looked at the little sprite and asked, "Then what qualifies someone as the destined one?" The little sprite circled in the air, "Let's see who can make this treasure shine with the most dazzling light." The white-clad mystery man, Number Two, and the woman exchanged glances, temporarily setting aside their hostility, all wanting to see who the so-called destined one was. Number Two and the woman swept in like a tidal wave. The man sneered, "Hand it over, or don't blame us for being ruthless." The woman whispered in Number Two's ear, "Let's stall for time and find an opportunity to break through." Number Two nodded slightly; a new confrontation was about to begin.
