Chapter 126
There was a muffled noise of trampling feet vaguely coming from a far distance . The soldiers of City Guard were now marching towards Shi Martial Club . The fierce fight between Shi Tianmo and six Ghost Immortals in the sky had alerted all the related authorities in Ji City . A few hundred Sky Patrolling Eagle Guards had soared up high into the sky from Scouting Offices located in all directions, wheeling above the sky while emitting a dazzling blue glow, as they barred off any access to the surrounding areas of the Mighty Martial Street .
Impatiently Wu Qi hastened his pace and came before the entrance to the secret chamber, which had been violently breached by four Ghost Immortals .
The secret chamber of Shi Tianmo was indeed well-concealed . Its entrance was actually a deep well, built underneath an artificial hill that was placed in the backyard . The well went at least one thousand feet deep into the ground, and was merely three feet in diameter . If anyone without a sufficient cultivation base accidentally fell into it, he would definitely be crushed into a meat paste . The wall in the well was smooth and slippery, and there wasn't anything or anywhere that could let people hold on . On top of that, over a few hundred bizarre runes were engraved on the wall, glinting with peculiar dark green, azure blue, and other kinds of colored glow . According to the Ghost Immortals who breached this place, these runes contained deadly poisons, and if any ordinary living being touched them, he or she or it would immediately turn into a puddle of pus and blood .
Fortunately, Wu Qi had ordered four Ghost Immortals to sneak into this place . For these Ghost Immortals without a physical and corporeal body, no deadly poison under the heaven could have hurt them . As the well bore deep into the ground, it was filled with dense Yin energies, and it prevented four Ghost Immortals from being exposed directly to the sunlight, which eventually allowed them to bring their strongest strength into play . With a round of violent explosions using their ghostly flames and Yin thunderbolts, they had damaged every single defensive mechanism in the well, and ventured deep into the bottom of the well .
As these Ghost Immortals were the experts of traveling through walls and barriers with their incorporeal body, no matter it was flower or grass, earth or wood, artificial hill or rock wall, they could walk past them like nothing . As a result, it only took them a brief moment before they finally found this secret chamber . If it were some other person, even if the person were the most experienced investigator, it would not be an easy task to find the entrance to the secret chamber underneath this artificial hill with over one thousand feet circumference .
Before Wu Qi could enter the well, Princess Zhang Le took a step before him and became the first to dive into the deep hole, rushing forward into the secret chambers built deep in the ground . And very soon, an echo of her voice came buzzing out from down under, "Aye, so many beautiful things! They are all mine, all mine! Tsk, this Shi Tianmo is pretty wealthy, huh? Why does he own so much jewelry and ornaments?"
Wu Qi plunged into the deep-well immediately after her . With quick steps, he passed a secret passage that stretched nearly one mile in length and came to a secret chamber with over a couple hundred feet in both width and length . It was a room with numerous wooden racks arranged closely to each other . Just as what Princess Zhang Le said from her cheering and yelling just now, there was countless jewelry placed on these wooden racks . There wasn't any common item of value such as gold or silver that could be found here . Instead, it was filled with corals, tortoise shells, pearls, jade stones, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and some other rare treasures . He also saw a few hundred wooden chests placed at a corner in the secret chamber, each filled with piles of upper tier or even supreme tier energy stones of various elements .
A bright gleam shone from Wu Qi's eyes . Amidst these upper tier or even some supreme tier energy stones, he saw energy stones of all five elements . On top of that, he also saw a couple dozens of rare energy stones that contained none of the five elements, but the purest nature essence of the Sun and Moon . He could not help himself and swallowed a lump in his throat, turned to Princess Zhang Le, who had her face kindled with joy and was holding a box of gemstones, and asked, "For these energy stones, what ratio are we following to split between us?"
From the corners of her eyes, Princess Zhang Le gazed at the pile of energy stones that occupied nearly one hundred feet of area, shook her head and said with some contempt, "What is the use of them? These things are rotting in the secret vaults of Imperial Palace . You can just take them all . If that is not enough, I'll bring you some more a few days later . "
Wu Qi was left speechless . Suddenly, he reasoned that this young girl in front of him was the Princess of Great Yan Dynasty . Although the quality of these energy stones was premium and they came in great number, but for Great Yan Dynasty, which had been established for over two thousand years, they were just a grain of corn in the wide sea . Princess Zhang Le did not attach any importance to them, but Wu Qi regarded them as a heavy treasure . Hastily, he rushed over to them, threw away the wooden chests and placed all the energy stones into his storage ring .
Eight Ghost Immortals, their bodies enshrouding in intense Yin energies, were lining up in a straight line outside the entrance to the secret chamber, casting stern glances at Zhao Chenzui, Meng Xiaobai and a few other men who followed down into the secret place . With these eight Ghost Immortals standing guard, no one dared to strike out at random, allowing Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le to have ample time in looting the enormous treasures stored in the secret chamber .
Wu Qi had targeted on all kinds of energy stones and rare treasures that contained spirit energy . On the other side, Princess Zhang Le was seen grinning from ear to ear, focusing on collecting the most dazzling and the finest designed jewelry that she could find . On both her left and right wrist was a half-transparent, light purple jade bangle, vaguely with shimmering runes on them . They were two storage bangles with extra large storage space . Smilingly, Princess Zhang Le roamed from racks to racks, looting every single treasure that caught her eyes and placed them into her bangle .
While looting all sorts of rare treasures, Princess Zhang Le kept laughing out loud and said, "What a surprise, how can a mere Shi Martial Club possess such a handsome wealth? Wu Qi, now I can finally understand why you are stirring up trouble here . How about this? Tomorrow, I'll deploy the army in my fief and loot every single martial club in the Mighty Martial Street? Tsk . . . Tsk . . . this is a big peach that is carved out from one whole ruby stone! I wonder where did they find it?"
With her face melting in a smile, Princess Zhang Le cupped up a large red peach the size of a cow's head, flawless and glinting splendidly . It was a peach that was carved from one whole ruby stone, and its value could no longer be measured with money . Besides from the peach itself, the tray holding it from underneath, which took the design of leaves, was also carved from a large, flawless jade stone . A couple dozens of perfectly rounded silver beads, the size of a human thumb, were rolling around quickly on the surface of the leaves . They looked exactly like the beads of dew on a peach .
Wu Qi's eyes glinted when he saw such a huge peach . He sensed a very powerful Fire element energy contained inside this red gemstone . It was not an ordinary ruby stone, but instead, it could be classified as a rare natural treasure . Faintly, he also detected a tiny thread of Wood element aura from the jade stone that was carved into leaves . It was a rare treasure as well . As Wood element gave birth to Fire element, the jade stone had nourished the peach, and eventually made it glint with an extraordinary red hue and look like the real thing .
