Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Little Bean Sprout, why are you here?"

After seeing Liu Mengying, Ye Fan finally felt relieved.

"Brother, the fight in the cave just now was so intense that dust kept floating toward the cliff, affecting the vision. I left an arrow and walked back... Then I followed the direction of the dust... I walked to this cave covered by the waterfall!"

As she spoke, Liu Mengying pointed to the white waterfall in front of her that was making a loud noise.

"That's it!"

Ye Fan exhaled lightly, and a light flashed on his hand. He took out the fire trap cage containing the colorful cicada Gu Dan fire from the Naxuan Ring, "Little Bean Sprout, this is for you to use for self-defense. You have a strong ability to control Dan fire. Find a chance to try to control it later!"

"Huh? Oh, good!"

After a moment of surprise, Liu Mengying nodded.

"Let's go, Xiao Douya. The fight between Ming Bowen and Huo Yanmeng is quite noisy. It will be bad if they come over here!"

After a pause, Ye Fan spoke again.

Although he also wanted to capture Mingshi and interrogate him about the events in the capital, he guessed that he probably had the Essence Blood Mysterious Jade on him, so he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him in a short period of time. In addition, the chief minister of the royal family might also be nearby... Or maybe Mingshi or Ming Bowen had a way to contact him...

"Big brother, wait a minute!"

Under Ye Fan's inquiring gaze, Liu Mengying pointed to the big waterfall in front of them, "Brother, this ancient secret realm seems to be very large, and there are many large and small peaks... If we search one by one, it will be too difficult... I have an idea!"

As she spoke, Liu Mengying's hand flashed with light, and she took out a map that she had previously drawn based on the starlight pattern in the Dragon Vein Book from her Naxuan Ring. She pointed to a location on the map and said, "Brother, look at that black thing... It was drawn like this because the starlight gathered. We only noticed the pattern of seven peaks at the time... If we look in this direction, where the starlight gradually fades, doesn't it look a bit like a waterfall?"

"This... Little Bean Sprout, now that you put it that way, it really does look like him..."

Ye Fan looked in the direction indicated by Liu Mengying's finger, then nodded slightly. As he spoke, more dust floated towards this side.

"Little Bean Sprout, get out of here first!"

...........

In the cave,

As a powerful water-attributed mysterious energy burst out, the flying dust in the cave quickly disappeared, and the view inside the cave became clear again.

"Brother, why is your Xuan Qi of water attribute?"

Ming Shi looked at Ming Bowen in surprise, because it was Ming Bowen who had taken action just now.

Ming Bowen did not reply, but stared straight at the spot less than ten feet to the right, with a look of surprise and anger, because there should have been a noble-grade axe there, but now it was empty...

Immediately, Ming Bowen turned to look at the figure in the black hat who was confronting Grandma Jinhua, and the other person shook his head.

"As expected of the Huoyan League, one of the five sects. Granny Jinhua is really good at taking away the noble-level profound weapon without making any noise!"

Ming Bowen had a cold look on his face.

"My Lord, you can take the pair of axes if you want. I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. This ancient secret realm is huge. I can look for it later. But you are trying to frame me now. This is unworthy of the royal family!"

"I am being watched closely by the expert you brought with you. How can I split myself to get the pair of axes?"

At the end, there was obvious dissatisfaction in Granny Jinhua's voice.

Hearing this, Ming Bowen immediately turned to look at the figure in the black hat, and the other person nodded.

Ming Bowen stared at Grandma Jinhua for a long time, and his gaze gradually shifted, quickly passing over the pile of corpses on the ground, and finally fell on Ming Shi, who was locked in the corner with a panicked expression.

"Big...Brother, what happened? Did you get the supreme... supreme-level profound weapon?"

Mingshi swallowed and asked tentatively.

"Do you think I got it?!"

Ming Bowen glared at Ming Shi.

"No, big brother, you were closest to that supreme-level profound weapon just now, and you even used the water-attributed profound energy to clear all the dust in the cave. I thought you got it!"

Mingshi looked puzzled, "Is it possible that you didn't get it either?"

"you idiot!"

Ming Bowen was so angry that he threw a water knife at Ming Shi, who was so scared that his head exploded and he shrank into a ball.

Ming Bowen ignored his useless fourth brother. He turned to look at Granny Jinhua, "Granny Jinhua, don't try to argue. The man in black who suddenly appeared took that useless Chu Lu away and left... Among the people at the scene, you are the only one who has the ability to get the pair of axes!"

"There's no need to blame someone if you want to!"

Granny Jinhua snorted coldly, "The eldest prince thinks too highly of me, or he looks down on this one of the four Mobei ghosts you brought with you!"

"Then who else do you think there is?"

Ming Bowen had a gloomy look on his face.

“Brother, could it be the man in black who suddenly appeared just now? I think he seems to be quite powerful!”

At this time, Mingshi spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, the figure in the black hat and Granny Jinhua said in unison, "Impossible!"

"this………."

Mingshi was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head vigorously, "Who could it be? Is there someone else in this cave?"

"Oh, brother, I remember now!"

Mingshi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, when I was hiding on the ground just now, I accidentally found that the dust was running upwards and drifting towards those places. There should be a cave entrance or something. Could there be someone hiding there who took advantage of the chaos to steal the noble-level profound weapon just now!"

"It's normal for this kind of cave to have cracks and other exits... But just now there was indeed dust flying in those directions..."

Granny Jinhua took over the conversation.

Ming Bowen gave a wink and his two men immediately separated to check the direction where the dust was floating high on the rock wall. Two people from the Huoyan League also climbed up the rock wall to check.

"There are fresh footprints here..."

..........

The night falls,

In the cave,

"So that means the Supreme-level Mystical Artifact was really stolen by the two people hiding there!"

Mingshi looked at the rather messy footprints on the ground, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"damn it!"

Ming Bowen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Granny Jinhua had no expression on her face. She turned around and left with her surviving subordinates...

Ming Bowen looked at Granny Jinhua with an extremely sinister gaze, then turned to look at the figure in the black bamboo hat with an inquiring look, and the other person shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Ming Bowen clenched his fists tightly, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the cave...

Soon, only Mingshi and his two men were left in the cave. A strange smile appeared on his lips, "A noble-grade mystical weapon... What a treasure..."
