Chapter 47 - Guardian

The moon was shining in the branches of the willow trees, and a light breeze was blowing.

The gray-robed elder led the group to a cave at the bottom of the highest mountain. The cave was not big, and was about the height of a person. A stone tablet was erected at the entrance of the cave. The words written on it were 'Life and Death Cave'. Around the cave, there was a small amount of grass. There was a rare bamboo forest located diagonally above the cave. The bamboo forest was lush and verdant, and it was arranged in an orderly fashion. One could tell at a glance that there was someone meticulously organizing the bamboo forest.

The moon reflected the shadows of the bamboo trees, and the wind rustled.

Under the moonlight, one could see a thatched hut through the bamboo forest. The house was not big, but it was neat and tidy.

Following the elder, the crowd stopped abruptly. Doubt and wariness could be seen on their faces. Liu Hong walked forward and said: "I am Liu Hong of the Liu Family, may I ask Senior's name, why have you brought us here?"

"Liu Family? Was it created by Liu Bang that child? "A kid from back then has now become the head of the family." The grey-robed old man seemed to be talking to himself and his face was filled with vicissitudes of life. Time wouldn't spare him? Me? Hehe! Bai Meng, I am afraid not many people will remember this generation of Evil Gods back then. "

Liu Hong and the Sword Gods behind him were immediately shocked, Evil God Bai Meng! They all knew from the records of their clans that nearly two thousand years ago, an evil and righteous expert appeared on the continent. Regardless of whether this person was right or wrong, countless bandits and scum had died at his hands, and quite a few famous Sacred Level and Divine Level experts had died at his hands.

Then, one day, a young master of a big family, the Han Family, died at his hands. Before that, many people from the Han Family died at his hands, but they were all suppressed by the family. In order to take revenge, the Han Family invited some of their best fighters who had been bullied by Bai Meng before.

Afterwards, there were a total of eight Sword Gods and twenty-one Sword Saints. The other experts were innumerable, so Bai Meng was not afraid at all.

At that time, the whole continent was shaken. Experts from everywhere rushed to see this rare competition. Even some of the hidden experts couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and rushed over. The entire Emerald Cloud Peak was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.

In that battle, the sky and earth darkened, the sun and moon disappeared without a trace, and almost all of the experts brought by the Han Family had been wiped out. In the end, only three heavily injured Sword Gods and five breathless Sword Saints remained. His whole body was covered in blood, and not a single part of his body was unharmed. His tough personality forced him to take a deep breath, and just as a God of Swords limped in front of him with a sword in hand, wanting to kill him, suddenly a masked expert dressed in black appeared from the side, picked up Bai Meng and disappeared into the sky.

After that battle, the entire Emerald Cloud Peak no longer existed. Fifty years later, Bai Meng had promised the Han Family that he would slaughter his way into the Han Family within three days. The Han Clan immediately panicked and was prepared to secretly move some of the Han Clan's disciples away. Unexpectedly, the Han Clan disciples that were sent away were all killed within four hours. The Han family was immediately enraged, but at the same time, they were also extremely afraid. That battle fifty years ago had left them with far too much fear.

Three days later, the Han Family disappeared into a mass of screams. From then on, Bai Meng seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and he did not appear in front of anyone. However, every clan had a record of their own that they would never provoke anyone who met the Evil God.

Liu Hong, Nangong Hentian, and the others were startled. They did not expect that the person in front of them was the old man who did not die, and quickly walked forward and respectfully said: "Greetings, Senior Bai."

Bai Meng swept his eyes across the crowd and said: "You guys rest first, we'll talk tomorrow." Without waiting for everyone to react, Bai Meng's figure disappeared in a flash in front of them. Liu Hong was startled, he, with his late stage Sword God cultivation, was actually unable to detect how Bai Meng left this place. Liu Hong thought: If he wants to become our enemy, with the current twenty to thirty percent of us, he is afraid that none of us will be able to escape alive.

Liu Hong and Nangong Hentian found a clean place to sit and recover their strength. The rest of the people, seeing the two of them, quickly meditated.

The shadow of the moon streaked across the sky in an arc, repeating yesterday's old dream along an ancient track.

The rising sun in the east seemed to be pulled by a rope as it slowly poked its head out. In an instant, tens of thousands of rays of light shone on the earth. The dewdrops on the leaves, after being illuminated by the sunlight, shone with a multicolored light. They were like pearls covering the earth; they were extremely gorgeous.

Li Yi stood up and stretched his body. Looking at the rising sun in the east sky, his eyes revealed a look of chaos. The others opened their eyes as well. After a night of meditation, their energy had been restored to its peak.

Li Yi said without even turning his head around, "There's no need to go over today, you guys stay here! I'll take the treasure back and we'll leave. "

Lian Ying was secretly surprised, what a confident tone! "Brother, you have already discovered the treasure."

Li Yi nodded his head, and said: "I'm afraid we will have to go through another bloody experience there. Today's weather is pretty good, the weather is beautiful, and the weather is warm and sunny."

Lian Ying was startled, he raised his head and looked at the rising sun, and said with interest: "That's right! It's pretty sunny. " When he turned around again, Li Yi had already disappeared from his sight.

Li Yi teleported to the top of Liu Hong and the rest and sat cross-legged in the air.

Not long after, a white bearded old man wearing a grey robe appeared in front of everyone, and Liu Hong and the rest immediately bowed. Bai Meng did not mind, he sat down cross legged and said to the people: "I have received great kindness from Martial Empire's founder, Di Xin, and have agreed to do three things for the Shang Wu Imperial Family. The last thing is to protect the treasures of the Martial Empire until someone came to retrieve them, after a thousand years, finally someone came to retrieve them.

The excitement on the old man's face quickly faded. Liu Hong had some doubts in his heart as he said: "If Senior Bai wants to leave this place as soon as possible, why did you set up so many obstacles?"

Humph!

Liu Hong suddenly felt his heart tighten, as if he had been struck by a hammer. Bai Meng said: "In your opinion, is this old man the White Guardian? If you are members of the Di Clan, you can naturally come here through secret passages. You even need to pass through dangerous areas in the Riot Zone. "

Nangong Hentian and the rest were startled, there was still a second path, and from his tone, it sounded like a safe one. The Di Clan was indeed well-prepared, if others were to find out that the treasure was here, it would be difficult to pass.

"When I promised to protect the treasure, I said that regardless of whether or not you are from the Di Clan, as long as you can safely pass through the barrier I set up, you will have a chance to obtain the treasure. Since you are not from the Di Clan, there are still some trials to pass."

Li Yi understood that the obstacle Bai Meng was talking about must be the mutated wasp, the danger of the swamp, and the attacks from horde of beasts. The old man was indeed extraordinary.

Nangong Hentian could not help but ask, "Senior Bai, where is the treasure, and what other tests are there?"

Bai Meng swept his eyes across him, his eyes filled with contempt. Nangong Hentian was instantly enraged and thought, if it wasn't for the fact that you are strong enough to rip you apart, I naturally wouldn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on my face.

Bai Meng saw that everyone was looking at him with anticipation, and sighed in his heart, not knowing if he was dead or alive, and said: The cave behind you is the location of the treasures, and the so-called test is where there are some hidden mechanisms and weapons. Alright, my mission is finished, I should leave this place, I wish you all good luck.

It was always teasing the old tree that you faced the sky alone. Do you know, day after day, year after year, if you know when you will be able to solve the mystery in your heart, that there is a world of martial arts, that the void will be shattered, and that there is still a sky beyond the heavens?

Bai Meng left the Treasure Mountain that he had guarded for more than a thousand years, without a hint of nostalgia.

After Bai Meng left, Liu Hong and the rest all rushed to the entrance of the cave. The cave entrance was not big, so the two of them could pass through it at the same time.

Recalling that Bai Meng had said that there was a test within the cave, everyone hesitated for a moment. After going through the danger ahead, they all started to feel uneasy, a treasure mountain was precious, life was more precious, not to mention these old monsters who had lived for an unknown period of time, they knew how precious life was, they were afraid of death.

"Big brother Hong, for the sake of safety, I think it's better if we let the others scout ahead." Nangong Hentian looked at Liu Hong and said.

Liu Hong glanced at the crowd and said: "Since everyone is here, I'm afraid no one wants to leave. How about this! We will first send our men down to advance and retreat. Before we discover the treasure deposit, let's work together. If we discover the treasure deposit and then fight over it, what do you think about everyone else? "

Everyone nodded their heads, but there were some contradictions between them as to who was going down first. No one wanted to be the first one. Liu Hong had no choice but to send out a Sword God from his clan.

Not long after the Sword God left, he came back up, his body was covered with a bit of dust, and Liu Hong said: "How is it?"

About five hundred meters downwards, the cave suddenly became flat, but the width didn't increase. After walking for about three hundred meters, countless arrows shot out from both sides of the cave, the power should be enough to kill a third level expert. The cave is narrow, even a second level expert would find it hard to survive. The sword god from the Liu family said.

Liu Hong said anxiously: "Can you see the end?"

"No, it's just that there's a corner up ahead, so we don't know what's going on inside."

Liu Hong and Nangong Hentian looked at each other and nodded slightly, then led their clan's people into the cave. The other Sword Gods followed after them after seeing them.
