Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Oh No, Chuunibyou Strikes Again! (Third Update)
"Isn’t the Blood Demon Sect Leader going to show himself?"
Zhao Qixian squinted and snorted coldly. They had all gathered for the sole purpose of waiting for this mysterious Sect Leader to appear. But looking at the situation now, it seemed the other party had no intention of getting involved.
Xu Nian placed the note on the table, smiled, and said, "Fengxiang Prefecture, Qingliang Mountain. This is the location of the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure."
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expression changed. The Nine Dragons Secret Treasure was in Fengxiang Prefecture?
So that’s how it was!
No wonder the Blood Demon Sect had previously targeted Fengxiang Prefecture. Were they trying to secure it in advance?
Xu Nian subtly glanced at Luo Chenjun. However, only a flicker of confusion passed through Luo Chenjun’s eyes, and he made no other move.
It seemed this move by the Blood Demon Sect Leader was unknown to him.
"Judging by the time, my people from Little Sage Manor should have arrived by now, and they likely brought the Yellow Dragon Mace with them," Kong Qingquan said with a smile. "With this, the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure has effectively revealed itself. Shall we prepare to set out now?"
Are we setting out now?
The thought that the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure was right before their eyes made everyone quite excited. The last time the Nine Dragon Keys came together was three hundred years ago.
This treasure from legends was finally going to appear in their generation!
Tong Tianpeng was the first who couldn’t sit still. He quickly stood up with Leng Huatuo and headed down the mountain. They planned to gather their men and proceed to Qingliang Mountain first.
The others also began to move, heading outside.
Xu Nian, however, was not in a hurry. He sat silently, his gaze fixed on the note on the table.
The Blood Demon Sect Leader... This mysterious figure sending a message is quite intriguing. But now that the Nine Dragon Keys had gathered, it was indeed time to go see the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure. He sighed, got up, walked outside, and called to the Players, "Everyone, pack up! Prepare to follow me to Qingliang Mountain!"
"Qingliang Mountain? That’s not far from here."
"Isn’t that the mountain previously occupied by Black Wind Stronghold? Could the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure be there?"
"Who cares? Let’s just go and find out!"
"For the Contribution Points, charge!"
"..."
The Players were also eager, as One Thousand Contribution Points awaited them. Even if they died inside, they could resurrect and return immediately.
To ensure the Profound Yellow Sect’s secrets weren’t discovered, Xu Nian had the System hide the Respawn Point and seal off the Contribution Hall. Apart from the Players, no one else could enter the Contribution Hall. This was a secret belonging to their Profound Yellow Sect, and no one else had the right to know.
「Inside the courtyard.」
Shen Rongyin spoke with Luo Qingbei about something, and after a private discussion, they both left the Profound Yellow Sect.
At the foot of the mountain, the Jianghu People who learned the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure was on Qingliang Mountain all rushed towards it.
In an instant, the entire Qingliang Mountain was surrounded by Jianghu People. Various forces gathered in different parts of the mountain, probing around. It looked as if they were intent on digging three feet into the ground to unearth the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure.
Kong Qingquan, leading a group of scholars from Little Sage Manor, blocked their way. "Gentlemen," he said, "to open the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure, the Nine Dragon Keys are required. Please, don’t be so hasty."
Xu Nian arrived with the Profound Yellow Sect disciples, observing the mountainside teeming with people—tens of thousands of them. And still, more were arriving. Clearly, the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure held an immense, almost terrifying allure for the people of Jianghu.
Upon hearing Kong Qingquan’s words, the Jianghu People quieted down. The owners of the Nine Dragon Keys gathered, each taking out their key. Seeing that the Profound Yellow Sect held three Nine Dragon Keys, envy and greed flickered in the eyes of many Jianghu People.
Who could have imagined that this small sect concealed so many Nine Dragon Keys? If only they could seize one... Alas, it was already too late.
It seemed the Nine Dragon Keys were interconnected. The moment they all came together, a visible ripple of energy emanated from them. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, a wave of energy slowly undulated, as if drawn by something, drifting towards the foot of Qingliang Mountain.
They’d found it! The entrance to the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure was at the foot of the mountain! Immediately, the Jianghu People who had been digging all over rushed to that spot and began excavating.
"Move aside! The Nine Dragons Secret Treasure is mine!"
"You dare touch it? See if I don’t kill you right now!"
"Ah, Third Brother, what are you doing? I’m your Big Brother! How dare you attack me?"
"In the face of the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure, what brotherhood matters? This Nine Dragons Secret Treasure is mine!"
"..."
Before they had even entered the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure, the slaughter had begun. The Jianghu People, scrambling to dig, had started killing each other. Each one was seemingly desperate to be the first to enter. This scene caused many to sigh.
Xu Nian couldn’t help but shake his head. They don’t even know what the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure is, yet they’re already killing each other. Is it worth losing lives for something unknown?
"Damn, a fight’s broken out! Come look, this angle is the best for watching!"
"Is this what ’people die for wealth as birds die for food’ means? This is my first time truly seeing such a scene."
"Why do I feel like we’re tomb raiding? You guys think the Nine Dragons Secret Treasure could actually be a tomb?"
"If it’s a tomb, then my identity as a Mojin Captain can’t be hidden any longer!"
"Mojin Captain? I, a Faqiu Celestial Official, have arrived!"
"Our Movemountain lineage will not long be outdone!"
"The Unloadmountain Herculeans are here! Everyone, make way; we’ll clear out this entire mountain for you!"
"Enough, you guys! Why does playing a game bring out everyone’s chuunibyou?"
"It’s too embarrassing in reality, so we can only act out in the game, right? We’re all friends here, can’t we just enjoy the game freely?"
"Hehe, count me in! I’m from the Feng family!"
"..."
Watching the Players succumb to their ’episodes’ one after another, Xu Nian felt the corner of his mouth twitch.
Something seems off about this whole scene. How did you all start mimicking that chuuni youth, Morgana? What’s going on? Be serious, don’t let others laugh at us! Xu Nian subconsciously stepped back, wanting no association with this group of Players. It was truly too embarrassing.
The Blood Demoness said with an odd expression, "Your disciples seem a bit... off."
"It’s nothing, they’re just having a moment," Xu Nian said, his face dark. "They’ll snap out of it soon. No need to pay them any mind!"
No sooner had his words fallen than Junlin approached with his group. The Red Cloud Robes of the Akatsuki Organization were exceptionally striking. The moment its members appeared, they emanated an overwhelming aura, instantly upstaging everyone. All this talk of Mojin Captains and Unloadmountain Herculeans utterly paled in comparison before the Akatsuki Organization!
