Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Chapter 303 Each Searching for Treasure

Chu Tianshu wept uncontrollably.

“I was wrong. I have lived in regret all these years. Although I was guarding the national treasure, I also indirectly became an accomplice in the conspiracy of the Black Hole Saint King.”

Ling Yun took a deep breath: "Since that's the case, we can no longer sit idly by and wait for our doom. The most urgent task is to find the national treasures of the other three kingdoms and stop the Black Hole Saint King from breaking the seal on the Demon God."

The envoy from the Eastern Spirit Kingdom nodded slightly and looked at Ling Yun, saying, "That's right. I've come here today to unite with the Western Spirit Kingdom to fight against the Black Hole Saint King. I already know the whereabouts of the Eastern Spirit Kingdom's national treasure, but it's not easy to obtain. As for the national treasures of the Southern Spirit Kingdom and the Northern Spirit Kingdom, the Western Spirit Kingdom must have some clues about them."

General Chuhe pondered for a moment before speaking: "The treasure of the Southern Spirit Kingdom is said to be hidden in the forbidden area of ​​their capital, guarded by an unparalleled expert. The treasure of the Northern Spirit Kingdom is located in a mysterious ice mountain, surrounded by harsh environments and fraught with danger."

Ling Yun looked at everyone.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must try. For the peace of the universe, and for the future of the four great spiritual kingdoms."

After discussing it, the group decided to split into two groups.

Ling Yun, Qin Feng, Lin Ximeng, and Chu Yao travel to the Southern Spirit Kingdom in search of its national treasure.

General Chuhe led a portion of the elite troops from the Western Ling Kingdom, along with envoys from the Eastern Ling Kingdom, to the Northern Ling Kingdom to search for its national treasure.

Ling Yun and his group of four disguised themselves and embarked on their journey to the Southern Spirit Kingdom.

They were cautious throughout the journey, not daring to reveal their identities.

After many days of trekking, they finally arrived at the capital of the Southern Spirit Kingdom.

The capital of the Southern Spirit Kingdom was bustling with activity, its streets teeming with carriages and horses.

Ling Yun and the others found an inn to stay at and began inquiring about the forbidden area of ​​the capital.

In a tavern, they met an elderly local man.

The old man took a sip of wine and slowly said, "The forbidden area of ​​the royal capital is the most mysterious place in the Southern Spirit Kingdom. It is said that it contains the kingdom's national treasure and countless rare and precious items. But no one who goes in has ever come out alive."

Chu Yao asked, "What dangers are there inside?"

The old man shook his head: "No one can say for sure what the specific dangers are. All we know is that there are powerful guardian beasts inside, as well as all sorts of strange mechanisms and traps."

Ling Yun thanked the old man, and after returning to the inn, the four of them began to discuss countermeasures.

Qin Feng said, "No matter what dangers are inside, we have to find a way in. Time is of the essence, we can't afford to delay any longer."

Lin Ximeng nodded: "I heard that there is a special entrance to the forbidden area of ​​the Southern Spirit Kingdom, which only opens at specific times. We must first find this entrance and the opening time."

After several days of investigation, they finally learned that the entrance to the forbidden area was located beneath an abandoned palace in the capital, and that the entrance would briefly open on the night of each full moon.

On the night of the full moon, the four of them secretly sneaked into the abandoned palace.

In the palace's basement, they found the entrance to the forbidden area.

An eerie mist filled the entrance, inspiring fear in those who looked upon it.

Ling Yun stepped into the mist first, followed closely by the other three.

Upon entering the forbidden area, they found it filled with ruins and a gloomy, terrifying atmosphere.

Suddenly, a huge guardian beast rushed out from the darkness.

This guardian beast resembles a lion, its entire body engulfed in black flames, radiating a powerful aura.

Ling Yun immediately drew his sword and unleashed his fierce swordsmanship, engaging in a fierce battle with the guardian beast.

Qin Feng and Lin Ximeng also took action.

Qin Feng unleashed powerful magic to attack the guardian beast's weaknesses; Lin Ximeng, on the other hand, used her agile movements to disrupt the guardian beast's actions.

Chu Yao was not to be outdone, and she took up her weapon to fight against the guardian beast.

During the fierce battle, Lingyun discovered that the guardian beast's eyes were its Achilles' heel.

She gathered all her strength and unleashed her strongest attack, a sword aura shooting towards the guardian beast's eye.

The guardian beast let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Having defeated the guardian beast, they continued deeper into the forbidden area.

Finally, in the deepest part of the forbidden area, they found the national treasure of the Southern Spirit Kingdom.

It was a bead that emitted a five-colored light.

A mysterious power surrounds the bead.

Ling Yun carefully put the bead away and prepared to leave the forbidden area.

Just as they turned around, they found their retreat blocked by a group of soldiers from the Southern Spirit Kingdom.

The leader was a general from the Southern Ling Kingdom.

He looked coldly at Ling Yun and the others.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​my Nanling Kingdom and steal the national treasure?"

Ling Yun quickly explained, "General, we have no ill intentions. We came to find the national treasure in order to stop the Black Hole Saint King from breaking the seal of the Demon God."

The general scoffed, "Black Hole Saint Lord? That's nothing but a legendary figure. Do you think I'd believe such an excuse?"

Chu Yao stepped forward and said, "General, I am Chu Yao, the princess of the Western Spirit Kingdom. Everything we have said is true. The universe is in imminent danger, and we hope that the Southern Spirit Kingdom can join hands with us to fight against the Black Hole Saint King."

Upon hearing this, the general's expression changed slightly: "The princess of Xiling Kingdom? This matter is of great importance, and I must consult His Majesty. You may come with me."

Ling Yun and the others had no choice but to follow the general to the palace of the Southern Ling Kingdom.

After meeting the emperor of Nanling Kingdom, Ling Yun recounted the whole story in detail and presented the secret letter from the envoy of Dongling Kingdom as proof.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Nanling Kingdom's expression turned grave: "I never imagined that such a massive conspiracy was hidden behind this. Over the years, our Nanling Kingdom has also been secretly interfered with by the Black Hole Saint King's forces, and wars have frequently broken out on our borders. It seems that we must unite."

The emperor of Nanling Kingdom decided to send a team of elite soldiers to assist Ling Yun and others to travel to Beiling Kingdom and meet with General Chuhe.

Meanwhile, General Chuhe and the envoy from Dongling Kingdom also encountered numerous difficulties on their way to Beiling Kingdom.

They first encountered a group of demonic beasts controlled by the Black Hole Saint King, and after a fierce battle, they managed to drive them away.

Then, while crossing a desert, they encountered a sandstorm.

Fortunately, everyone worked together and found a sheltered cave, thus escaping disaster.

When they finally arrived at the mysterious iceberg in the Northern Spirit Kingdom, they found that the iceberg was surrounded by a powerful barrier, making it impossible to get close.

General Chuhe and the envoy from Dongling Kingdom searched everywhere for a way to break the barrier, but to no avail.

Just as they were extremely anxious, Ling Yun and his group arrived with soldiers from the Southern Ling Kingdom.

Ling Yun carefully observed the barrier and discovered that it was somewhat similar to an ancient formation from the Western Spirit Kingdom.

Using her knowledge of the ancient texts of the Western Spirit Kingdom, she attempted to break the barrier.

After much effort, Ling Yun finally found the flaw in the barrier and successfully broke it.

After entering the iceberg, the group discovered that it was filled with ice caves and ice pillars, and the cold was biting.

Deep within the iceberg, they found the national treasure of the Northern Spirit Kingdom—a sword radiating a chilling aura.
