Chapter 648
648 The contract and the treasure (1)
Before one’s strength reached a certain level, there were some things that one didn’t need to worry about.
To the current Tang Zhen, no matter how many secrets were hidden behind this world of loucheng, he was basically unable to interfere. He only needed to let nature take its course.
After all, that level was too high, and he could not reach it at all!
Therefore, after knowing the abnormality, they would at most be a little more vigilant, and at the same time, make more reasonable use of these rules to create more benefits for themselves.
After all, there was no such thing as perfection in this world, and the same was true for the rules. As long as one studied them carefully, there would always be loopholes to exploit!
The higher one’s level was, the more they would pay attention to the rules. They would definitely not be as calculative as the commoners. At most, they would fill up the hole in time after they discovered it.
This was the case for cultivators, and so were the rules!
Tang Zhen withdrew the lightning-like thought that had appeared in his mind. He looked at the lady who had already changed into a red robe and said in a faint voice,”I’ve already made my promise, so it’s your turn to express it now?”
The red-clothed lady laughed softly and said to Tang Zhen,”Don’t blame this little girl for being meddlesome, it’s just that this verbal promise is really hard to believe!
Not to mention, over the years, we three sisters have tried many ways, but we’ve never been able to successfully leave this isolated island. So, Wuwu,”
“So you don’t believe my promise, right?”
Tang Zhen’s face was expressionless. Only his tone had an additional trace of iciness.
“Please don’t be angry, Sir. I believe that with your cultivation and identity, you wouldn’t do such a disgraceful thing for some money.
However, as the saying goes,’a villain comes before a gentleman’, this little girl was forced to do this, please forgive me!”
The woman in red spoke in a casual tone, but her expression was very determined.
cut the crap. What do I have to do for you to tell me the location of the treasure in loucheng? ”
Tang Zhen’s current tone already had an additional trace of impatience. A faint killing intent once again surfaced in his eyes, causing one’s entire body to turn cold with a single glance.
There was a limit to his patience. He had not made a move yet because he wanted to avoid some trouble.
However, if the other party continued to grumble like this, he might really have to use some disgraceful means. At that time, he was not afraid that they would not say anything!
The red-clothed lady also saw Tang Zhen’s impatience. She hurriedly explained, ” “I know of a kind of contract. As long as you agree to sign it, I will tell you the location of the treasure in loucheng.
However, I can only tell you the location of a portion of the treasures.
After you’ve successfully brought my two little Sisters out of here, I’ll tell you where I’m buried, and then you’ll send me out. How about that?”
Tang Zhen nodded. He swept his gaze at the red-clothed lady,”It seems that you’ve been prepared for this day for a long time.
Even if I don’t find the location of the ruins, I’m afraid you’ll take the initiative to lure me here and try to see if there’s a possibility of leaving, right?”
it’s not easy for us, ” the woman in red smiled apologetically. please don’t blame us!
Tang Zhen did not say anything else. He merely indicated for the red-clothed lady to take out the so-called contract. After scanning it, he attached a trace of his mental energy to it.
Tang Zhen had seen many similar contracts, and they were basically from the ghost bank.
The reason why this kind of contract had such a strong binding force was nothing more than to attach one’s spiritual power to it and have a connection with the power of the law on the contract.
Once the contractor violated the contract, the power of the law of karma would take the initiative to strike and punish the contractor!
Therefore, this kind of binding contract was widely used. Whether it was the world of loucheng or the other world, there were many similar items.
The red-clothed lady clearly heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Tang Zhen sign the contract. She smiled and asked him to release her two younger sisters.
Tang Zhen did not hesitate. After taking out the reincarnation mirror, he released the two women who had been thrown into the reincarnation mirror under the resentful expression of the guard.
However, the two women were disheveled and weak. They looked at the reincarnation mirror with fear and embarrassment.
Looking at the overseer’s regretful expression, who knew what they had encountered in the reincarnation mirror? Fortunately, he had been released in time. Otherwise, he would not even be able to stand after a while.
Tang Zhen looked at the overseer with a smile that was not a smile. The red-clothed lady’s face was filled with anger as she ruthlessly glared at the overseer. In the end, it attracted the overseer’s greedy and judgmental gaze, frightening her so much that she hurriedly turned her eyes to the side.
After the two women came out, they reattached themselves to the body that had collapsed on the ground. Then, they stood behind the red-clothed woman in unison and looked at Tang Zhen with a cautious expression.
Seeing that her younger sister was safe and sound, the red-clothed lady did not say any more nonsense. She made an “please” gesture to Tang Zhen and led the way to the back of the building ruins.
Tang Zhen and the rest followed closely behind. It did not take long before they arrived in front of a huge stone wall.
“Back then, we opened up a passage underground, which led directly to the belly of the mountain, and put a part of the treasure in the loucheng.
After that, as long as the tunnel is buried, outsiders will not be able to discover the treasure hidden in the heart of the mountain. After all, there is no damage to the rock wall at all.”
Tang Zhen tried to use his mental energy to sense it. As expected, he did not discover any treasures within the mountain. It was as if this place was completely empty.
The Holy Dragon City cultivators followed the lady in red’s instructions. After tearing off all the vines outside the rock wall, they immediately retreated to the side.
Tang Zhen held the soul annihilating saber in his hand. He stood in front of the rock wall and swung the saber a few times with lightning speed. Soon after, he extended his hand and grabbed at the rock wall with all his might.
A long bluestone the size of a car was actually pulled out from the rock wall by Tang Zhen. He then casually threw it on the grass to the side.
Immediately after, Tang Zhen continued to attack and pulled out the remaining three stone strips.
At this time, a large hole several meters deep had appeared in the rock wall. However, the location of the hidden treasure was still not revealed.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He merely waved the soul annihilating saber once again and deepened the cave.
The reason why he used such a laborious method instead of entering from The Dark World was that he intended to keep some trump cards to guard against the Three Sisters.
As for whether the other party was sincere in their cooperation, it would depend on their future performance. As long as they did not have any designs on the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen naturally did not need to make a move.
However, if they dared to have any ill intentions, Tang Zhen’s ability to enter The Dark World would be the best method to kill them!
After all, only spirit bodies could exist in the dark World. It was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter.
Even after entering, there were many restrictions. How could he be as relaxed as Tang Zhen?
Only by launching an attack from the enemy’s unexpected place could he possibly obtain the most ideal effect!
At this moment, the cave had already extended tens of meters into the interior, but there was still no hidden cave. It could be seen how well-hidden the treasure was!
If he did not have the guidance of this red-clothed lady, Tang Zhen reckoned that he would not be able to find this place even if he searched for a few decades.
To a King level cultivator, these hard green stones were no different from rotten wood. Therefore, it didn’t take long for Tang Zhen to break through the passage.
At this moment, all sorts of treasures had appeared in front of Tang Zhen’s eyes. Even though there was no light reflection, they were still dazzling.
The jewelry was dazzling, and people couldn’t move their eyes away from it.
From the appearance of these treasures, it was obvious that they had completely different styles. They were obviously items from another world that this tower had accumulated and could be considered priceless!
The items that could be stored in the treasure room of a national-level building must be extraordinary. Therefore, Tang Zhen did not have to go through the process of choosing. He directly waved his hand and stored all the treasures that had piled up like a mountain into his storage ring.
As for the specific classification and valuation, there would be a special person in charge of it. Tang Zhen didn’t have the time to do that.
As the Holy Dragon City accumulated more and more resources, residents who specialized in this kind of work began to appear in the Holy Dragon City. They had appraised many treasures and were quite experienced!
None of the Holy Dragon City cultivators were surprised by these treasures. Their eyes were still cold and calm, as if they were just a pile of ordinary stones.
The Three Sisters, who had once witnessed people forgetting their sense of justice for profit in the sect, clicked their tongues in wonder at this moment. They did not expect these Holy Dragon City cultivators to be so self-disciplined.
To be able to command his subordinates to such an extent and remain calm in the face of a huge wealth, this young man in front of him was definitely not a simple person. Perhaps he really could take him out of here.
For a moment, the Three Sisters began to worry about their personal gains and loss!
