Except for Shi Yan, who was a bit suspicious, the other people in the relic mansion never thought that other people could enter the mansion at all. Thus, they didn’t feel that Wu Yingyan was plotted against.
Shi Yan also thought it was an accident and had no sympathy in his heart.
It was because he didn’t have a good impression of this child from an aristocratic family at all. He had all the bad habits of a child from an aristocratic family, so he pretended that he didn’t see that this kid looked down on a rough guy like him.
After being rescued, Wu Yingyan finally didn’t die of the pain. His injured abdomen was stabilized with good healing pills, but further treatment needed to be carried out outside the valley.
The people present felt it was enough to save his life, and the Wu family would take care of the rest.
They carried Wu Yingyan, who had been forced unconscious, to the main hall. They would take him away when they were about to leave.
Feng Linlang was left to take care of the injured. After all, she was the closest to Wu Yingyan among all the cultivators who came in. Who would take care of him if she didn’t?
Feng Linlang gritted her teeth and was forced to stay. She already regretted coming to this Netherworld Valley. She didn’t know how this matter would end.
After leaving the Netherworld Valley, the first thing she would do was to contact her family. The only method possible was to ask her family to come forward to negotiate with the Wu family.
Even Young Master Nie couldn’t oppose it, or did he want to stay in Feng Linlang’s place?
Obviously, women and needs had to take a back seat when it came to his own interests.
Feng Ming was amazed. “Do you think the Wu family will let Feng Linlang go this time? The Wu family isn’t as easy to talk to as the Bai family of Qingyun City.”
Bai Qiaomo smiled lightly. “That is their own business.”
“Come on, let’s open the back door for Senior Shi.”
Shi Yan was walking around with his subordinates who knew about formations. There was Wu Yingyan’s tragedy as an example, so they were very cautious.
In addition, he was strong enough. Unlike Wu Yingyan, who could only let the explosions happen, Shi Yan had the confidence to bring himself and his men out.
As he wandered around, he also focused on paying attention to the movements of the formation experts.
The moment they really opened a room, he would definitely follow them. He wouldn’t give up the benefits just because of a few words.
There were benefits to be gained, so why care about being shameless? He could be completely shameless.
Shi Yan walked up to a room and knocked on the formation outside the room with the machete in his hand. He was saying, “What is this room used for? Do you want to try it?”
“Boss, be careful.”
Shi Yan was speaking casually. After the Wu Yingyan incident, he also knew that the formations here weren’t trivial. He didn’t dare to risk his own life and that of his subordinates.
It just so happened that he had knocked carelessly a dozen times before. His eyes were still looking around, and he didn’t think he could open the room.
However, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and a force was generated that pulled him and his two subordinates. The three of them fell inside with a cry of surprise.
Everyone was wary of each other, and Shi Yan had several eyes following him. This sudden scene shocked those who were watching.
They immediately ran over and wanted to follow him into the room. However, the barrier outside had been restored. No matter how hard they bumped into it, they couldn’t break it. There was also no reply when they called out to Shi Yan.
“What’s going on? What mechanism did the old man touch to enter the room?”
He called the fourth-level formation master called Cui over to study it for a while, but no tricks could be found.
They were separated by a door, and the cultivators outside were extremely jealous of Shi Yan’s group. How could this old guy be so lucky?
Someone copied Shi Yan’s previous movements precisely with no difference at all. However, no matter how they struck, there was no movement at all. This made them dumbfounded and extremely disappointed.
Formation Master Cui’s expression was very ugly. Compared with the previous formations they dismantled around the main hall, the formations still present were much more difficult. They needed to spend a longer time to study them, but didn’t have enough time to withstand the consumption.
“Wait until they come out on their own. There is no need to waste time here. Even if it is opened, the contents inside will probably…”
What to guess? It was obvious that everything would’ve been looted by Shi Yan’s group. Could they still hand it over? It was impossible when thinking about it.
They wouldn’t be willing if it was them.
They couldn’t get in. Meanwhile, Shi Yan knocked casually a few times and knocked himself in. What did this mean?
It meant it was Shi Yan’s own opportunity.
The luck was so good that it made people jealous.
“Let’s try other places. We might have opportunities in other places.”
Then a strange scene occurred in the mansion. Many people held weapons in their hands and knocked around the mansion, trying to knock out an opportunity.
Feng Ming laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. These noble family members usually behaved like dogs outside, but they weren’t much better than ordinary cultivators when it came to interests. They were just ordinary people.
“This is funny. Brother Bai, do you think we should give them a few more opportunities? This will prevent Senior Shi from standing out too much and attracting the jealousy of others.”
Bai Qiaomo thought this was a good idea and responded with a smile, “Okay, I’ll do it. Junior Brother Ming, I’ll choose two more people.”
By observing through the water mirror, he could roughly judge the character of these people. Bai Qiaomo wanted to give opportunities, but he naturally didn’t want to give it casually. He had to choose people whose personalities were slightly more decent.
So two essence dan realm cultivators who weren’t involved in the plot against Shi Yan were selected by Bai Qiaomo. Bai Qiaomo also saw that they had a good relationship with Shi Yan.
Therefore, a strange scene happened again, with some time between them. If people saw it, they would feel that it was really a coincidence rather than a deliberate arrangement.
Feng Ming clapped his hands and said, “That’s good. This way, Senior Shi and the others won’t be isolated by everyone when they come out of the room. At the very least, there were two groups standing on the same side as them.
Bai Qiaomo nodded. It also spread the risk for Shi Yan. If three parties joined forces, they could at least withstand the joint suppression of other forces.
The next step was for the two of them to sort out the collections in the mansion, watch the drama in the mansion, and wait for the mansion to be closed.
Shi Yan was in a great mood. He hadn’t expected to be so lucky that he could enter a room by knocking on it.
The first thing he saw when he fell into the room was a good knife. So what was he waiting for? He immediately pounced on it.
The two subordinates were also happy for their boss. The machete in the boss’ hand had been with him in many battles and could no longer withstand the abuse. However, a high-grade knife wasn’t so easy to obtain. This time, he actually got one in the mansion.
Shi Yan couldn’t help waving the knife when he got it. Then he burst out laughing.
Thanks to this fifth-grade spirit weapon, Shi Yan’s combat effectiveness could be improved by a few points. Did he still need to be afraid of those people outside joining forces?
“Okay! Good! Great! You can put the rest of the things away. We will take them back to the mercenary group. Don’t leave anything for those people.”
“Okay, Boss.”
The two men excitedly put away the items in the room, even the stools and chairs. They almost wanted to pry away the floor tiles, but found that the floor tiles were connected to the entire formation. They gave up because they couldn’t pry them.
After seeing that even the two lamps on the wall had been taken away, Feng Ming shook his fist. “It is too much, too much. We have to make up for it ourselves in the future, or it will be too ugly to have these two pieces missing.”
Bai Qiaomo laughed and shook his head.
After the search was complete, Shi Yan and the others came out of the room. They came out smoothly, but when they wanted to go in again, Shi Yan couldn’t push the restriction.
The three of them were surrounded by other cultivators the moment they came out.
Shi Yan waved the spiritual weapon he had just obtained. “What the? Do you want to fight? I will accompany you. I just got a knife and want to test its power, sacrificing some blood to it.”
The eyes of the other people turned red when they saw it. This was obviously a new spiritual weapon, a fifth-grade spiritual weapon. It was infinitely close to sixth-grade. This old guy’s luck was indeed extremely good. This knife was simply tailor made for him.
They really wanted to take action, but they didn’t want to jump out first. Shi Yan was at the peak of his momentum at this time. Ordinary essence dan realm cultivators were no match for him.
It would take a lot of effort for everyone at the scene to join forces, so they should put their hope in obtaining the core of the relic mansion.
Someone immediately smiled. Then the other two groups also came out of the room. The attention on Shi Yan was scattered a bit.
Shi Yan’s group finally discovered that there were two other groups who had the same opportunity as them. They were happy because it meant their danger was reduced a lot.
The three parties also reached a certain tacit understanding with each other after exchanging looks. The other two parties obviously also got good things. In order to not become the target of public criticism, they must cooperate sincerely in order to leave the Netherworld Valley safely.
Bai Qiaomo didn’t make it impossible for the formation masters to open the rooms. He just made it more difficult.
At the same time, some less important things such as ineffective spiritual plants and pills were placed in the open room to minimize their harvest.
After a lot of effort, a room was finally opened, and the groups of people rushed in to grab the good things. The cultivators who rushed in were extremely disappointed when they saw the situation in the room clearly.
One person opened a jade bottle and threw it aside in annoyance. “It is a useless pill that has lost its vital energy.”
“The spiritual plant in this jade box is dead. Only the jade box that stores this spiritual plant is worth a little bit.”
It was said to be worth something, but the speaker threw the jade box aside casually, not even willing to pick it up.
Shi Yan also rushed in to get some benefits. Once he saw the situation inside, he was so gloating that he even ran over to pick up the jade box. “It is such a waste. My mercenary group has a small business. If we take it back, we can place some spiritual plants in it when going on missions.”
The others almost coughed up blood when they heard this.
They opened the second room. There was no longer a pile of waste plants and pills in this room, but the value of the things inside was still very different from everyone’s expectations. Their expressions didn’t look good.
Just as Formation Master Cui was about to dismantle another formation, he suddenly shouted, “No, the formation has become stronger. The time for the opening of the relic mansion is about to expire. All of us will be thrown out at that time.”
“Is there no way to keep this mansion?”
Formation Master Cui’s expression was ugly. “The level of formations in his mansion is beyond my level. I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.”
He had thought about it but couldn’t find the core of the relic mansion until now. It was just a dream to occupy the relic mansion.
At this time, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had quietly slipped out of the mansion. The closing of the mansion was a procedure set by Bai Qiaomo in advance. At that time, the mansion would sink into the ground and be sealed again in full view of everyone.
They would also return to the camp early and wait for the return of Shi Yan’s group.
