Chapter 406 - Entrance of the Secret Treasure
The things Jiang Chen wanted to buy weren’t special. With Yin Shuang’s help, it took him less than ten minutes to find them all.
“Miss Yin Shuang, can we talk in private? I need to tell you something.” Jiang Chen decided to tell her the truth when he paid the bill.
“Oh?”
Yin Shuang was curious, too. She led him to a room prepared for clients.
Hopefully he won’t say those things to me.
Yin Shuang worried that Jiang Chen would confess his love for her. It had happened to her on more than one occasion.
Although she didn’t think Jiang Chen was such a person, maybe the warmth she had shown to repay his help had misled him and caused him to take action.
They were shocked. Even if the choice of joining the Holy Sword Society had been a gamble, the society had given them a sense of group identity.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Chen flew to the Flying Dragon City with Ying Wushuang and the others. The secret treasure would be formally opened the next day.
It had been scheduled the next day not because the secret treasure wanted to, but because at sunrise the next day, the strongest practitioners of all the forces would work together to crack the tactical formation deployed at its entrance. Before that, no one could enter.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the whole day to prepare for the trip. Other people would have emptied the secret treasure.
It was already night when the Holy Sword Society arrived at the Flying Dragon City. The city was crowded with people. All the factions from the Dragon Field had arrived.
There was a ditch not far outside of the city, shining with multi-toned evening sunlight, very eye-catching during the sunset.
Undoubtedly, it was the entrance to the secret treasure.
“You go into the city first.”
Jiang Chen flew to the ditch alone, intending to see what was there.
As soon as he approached, he felt around ten strong energies aimed at him, seeing through him thoroughly.
But no one came forward to stop him. It was strong people from different groups here, restricting each other so that no one could do anything sneaky.
Jiang Chen pretended that he hadn’t found anything out. He flew around the ditch like a very curious person, then left, seemingly bored and having found nothing.
The strong people in the dark didn’t stop him. They just let him leave.
But in his heart, Jiang Chen felt very uneasy, since he had noticed one thing. There was an entrance to the small world in the ditch indeed, but the entrance had been exposed not because the parts that had once hid it had stopped functioning, but due to the effects of time. It was man-made!
In other words, someone had intentionally exposed the entrance to the small world!
Of course, it was also possible that someone unaware of the secret had exposed the entrance by accident and didn’t know how to recover it, so it had been found by other groups.
Either way, Jiang Chen had to be careful so that no one would die inside.
They probably wouldn’t be able to come back from this trip that would enter another world. He couldn’t be too careful.
