The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 335: The Mysterious Place Where the Treasure Is Located

At the end of the grassland, a towering mountain range stretched across the sky, shrouded in mist and clouds, like the boundary between a fairyland and the mortal world. Yun Che and You Yue stood side by side at the foot of the mountain, their gazes fixed firmly on the unknown journey ahead. The night breeze blew past, their sleeves fluttering gently, as if whispering of the challenges to come.

“Youyue, are you ready?” Yun Che turned to look at the woman beside him, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light.

Youyue smiled slightly, with a firmness in her eyes: "As long as I'm with you, I have nothing to fear."

The two smiled at each other and then set out on the road leading deep into the mountains. The road was rugged and covered with thorns, but their steps were extremely firm, as if no difficulties could stop them from moving forward.

As we go deeper, the scenery in the mountains becomes more and more spectacular. Strange peaks and rocks, cascading waterfalls and springs, each one is refreshing and delightful. However, behind this beauty lies endless danger.

“Be careful!” Yun Che suddenly shouted, pulling Youyue into his arms and dodging a sudden hidden arrow.

Youyue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked up in the direction the arrow had come from, only to see a group of masked men in black quietly approaching them.

“It seems like someone doesn’t want us to find the treasure easily.” Yun Che sneered, protecting Youyue behind him and preparing to fight.

"Hmph, a mere ant dares to stop us?" A man who looked like a leader among the men in black snorted coldly and waved his hand to signal his men to launch an attack.

Instantly, dozens of black-clad men surged towards Yun Che and You Yue like a tide. Yun Che's figure flashed, transforming into a shadow as he weaved through the crowd, his fists fierce and invincible. Not to be outdone, You Yue waved her hands lightly, and silver light shot out from her fingertips, exploding instantly upon impact with the enemy, with astonishing power.

The battle lasted for a while, and the men in black gradually began to collapse. However, at this moment, the leading man suddenly took out a black bead and held it high.

"Darkness descends!" Following his roar, a powerful dark force erupted from the bead, instantly enveloping the surrounding air. Yun Che and You Yue felt a heavy pressure bearing down on them, making movement extremely difficult.

"Is this... the Dark Magic Pearl?" Youyue's face changed drastically. She had seen records about the Dark Magic Pearl in an ancient book and knew that it was extremely powerful and extraordinary.

Yun Che gritted his teeth, trying his best to resist the encroachment of the dark forces. He knew very well that he could not retreat at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

“Youyue, step back and let me deal with him!” Yun Che shouted loudly, and the golden dragon power in his body surged, instantly breaking through the shackles of the dark power.

He flashed and appeared in front of the leading man, throwing a punch. The golden fist light collided with the dark power, making a deafening roar.

The leading man clearly hadn't expected Yun Che to be able to break free from the constraints of the dark power so easily, and his expression changed slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure, once again activating the Dark Magic Orb and engaging Yun Che in a fierce confrontation.

The two men exchanged blows, fists whistling, and the fight was a close one. The surrounding men in black had long been intimidated by this powerful force and dared not move forward, and could only watch this thrilling battle from afar.

As time went on, Yun Che gradually gained the upper hand. Leveraging the might of the Golden Dragon, he continuously suppressed the leader's offensive. Finally, after a fierce collision, Yun Che's punch sent the leader flying, sending him plummeting to the ground, spitting blood.

"You...how dare you..." The leading man struggled to get up, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

Yun Che looked at him coldly and said, "Hmph, anyone who dares to stop us will not have a good ending."

Upon hearing this, the leading man's eyes flashed with despair. He knew full well that he was powerless to save the situation, and could only watch helplessly as Yun Che and You Yue continued on their way.

After dealing with the group of men in black, Yun Che and You Yue continued to venture deeper into the mountains. They knew that the real challenge lay ahead. But no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would bravely move forward until they found the treasure.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at a secluded valley shrouded in mist, where an ancient ruin could be vaguely seen.

"It seems that we have found it." Youyue looked at the ruins with excitement in her eyes.

Yun Che nodded and said, "Yes, but this place doesn't look simple. We need to be careful."

The two walked cautiously into the valley, only to find that the ruins were surrounded by various traps. With their keen insight and tacit cooperation, they avoided these traps one by one and arrived at the gate of the ruins.

The door was tightly closed, covered in ancient runes. Yun Che carefully studied them and found that they seemed to be somewhat similar to the runes on the Golden Dragon Order. With an idea in mind, he took out the Golden Dragon Order and affixed it to the door.

In an instant, the runes on the gate began to glow, and then the gate slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the interior of the ruins.

Yun Che and You Yue exchanged a glance before stepping into the passage. The passage was flanked by stone walls, each carved with various mysterious patterns. As they advanced, they admired these patterns, trying to find some clues.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front. Yun Che and You Yue immediately became alert, hiding behind the stone wall to the side, observing the movement ahead.

A group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes were rushing over, followed by a group of armored soldiers. These people were obviously not ordinary treasure hunters, but powerful people from a major force.

“Hmph, it seems the news of the treasure has spread. These people also want to get a piece of the pie.” Yun Che snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Youyue frowned slightly and said, "These people are quite powerful. We must be careful when dealing with them."

Yun Che nodded, already having a plan in mind. He quietly circled behind the group, ready to catch them off guard.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from the crowd. He was dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a jade crown, and looked very imposing, obviously a person of extraordinary status.

“Hmph, two mere ants dare to snatch my treasure?” The middle-aged man glanced around coldly, as if he had already discovered the presence of Yun Che and You Yue.

Yun Che was shocked, but his expression remained calm. He looked at the middle-aged man coldly and said, "Hmph, treasures belong to those who are destined to obtain them. What makes you say it's yours?"

The middle-aged man's face darkened upon hearing this. He said, "Hmph, I am the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. All the powerful people on this continent must obey me. This treasure naturally belongs to me."

Yun Che sneered and said, “The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Master? Humph, you’re just a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

The middle-aged man laughed in anger and said, "What an arrogant boy! Today, I will let you know what a truly powerful person is!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the soldiers behind him to launch an attack. Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards Yun Che and You Yue.

Yun Che and You Yue flashed, transforming into two afterimages, weaving through the ranks of the soldiers. Their movements were swift and fierce, each strike hitting the enemy's vital points with perfect precision. Soon, the soldiers fell one after another, their wails echoing one after another.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression darkened. He personally attacked Yun Che. His moves were fierce and domineering, each strike imbued with immense power. Yun Che didn't dare to be careless and responded with all his might.

The two men exchanged blows, the fight becoming increasingly tense. At this moment, Youyue suddenly attacked, a silver light radiating from her fingertips, striking the middle-aged man's vitals. Unable to dodge, the middle-aged man was struck by the light, instantly losing his fighting ability.

"You...how dare you..." The middle-aged man fell to the ground, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

Yun Che looked at him coldly and said, "Humph, this is what happens when you offend me."

After dealing with the middle-aged man, Yun Che and You Yue continued to delve deeper into the ruins. Relying on the power of the Golden Dragon Token, they made their way unimpeded to the deepest part of the ruins. There, they saw a massive treasure chest lying quietly, emitting an alluring glow.

"Treasure!" Youyue shouted excitedly.

Yun Che nodded, walked forward, and prepared to open the treasure chest. However, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the treasure chest, knocking Yun Che back several steps.

“What’s going on?” Yun Che steadied himself and looked at the treasure chest warily.

Youyue also stepped forward and said, "This treasure chest seems to be sealed by some powerful force. We have to find a way to unlock it."

Yun Che's heart stirred when he heard this. He remembered that Jin Long had told him that the Golden Dragon Token was not only a powerful treasure, but could also unlock many ancient seals. He took out the Golden Dragon Token and affixed it to the treasure chest.

In an instant, the seal on the treasure chest began to glow, and then the treasure chest slowly opened, revealing a bead shining with golden light.

"Is this... the Golden Dragon Ball?" Youyue looked at the ball in surprise, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

Yun Che nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Golden Dragon Ball. The Golden Dragon once told me that this ball contains powerful power that can protect the tranquility and peace of this continent."

Hearing this, Youyue felt a strong sense of mission surge in her heart. She tightly grasped Yun Che's hand and said, "Yun Che, we must make good use of this bead and protect this continent."

Yun Che smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I believe we can do it."

The two carefully put away the Golden Dragon Ball and prepared to leave the ruins. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard again. They were startled and immediately alert.

A group of people in black robes were rushing over. They wore hideous masks on their faces and exuded an evil aura. These people were obviously not good people. They must be coming for the Golden Dragon Ball.

Yun Che and You Yue exchanged a glance, then prepared for battle. They knew this battle would determine the ownership of the Golden Dragon Ball and the fate of this continent.

The black-robed men quickly surrounded Yun Che and You Yue. The leading black-robed man looked at them coldly and said, "Hmph, two mere ants dare to snatch my treasure? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Golden Dragon Ball immediately, or I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"

Yun Che sneered and said, "Humph, you guys think you can snatch the Golden Dragon Ball? What a joke!"
