Chapter 730: Chapter 723: The Warehouse
rit Hall in the Enemy-breaking Camp, within a hall at the back.
A five-man squad hurriedly entered.
“Who goes there?”
“This is a restricted area of Heavenly Mansion, outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering or leaving. Trespassers will be executed!” Four or five figures blocked the way of the five n.
The scar-faced man among them glanced over the group and pointed at them with one hand, barking angrily.
“Gentlen, you have all seen what’s happening outside.”
“I am Hua Qing from the Enemy-breaking Camp, and Vice Commander Lin has commanded that the storage area is of utmost importance and must not be compromised. We are ordered to assist here.”
“I, Hua, am not an unknown figure within the camp, and you gentlen should have heard of my na.”
“And this Brother Li here, we have t a few tis and should be fairly familiar with each other.”
Hua Qing, the leader of the five-man squad, smiled and gave a fist and palm salute to those in the hall as he explained.
His gaze swept over the people in front of him, finally resting on a slim man.
This slim man was undoubtedly the Brother Li he had ntioned.
Thanks to Hua Qing’s deliberate efforts to forge a connection, when Brother Li was not on duty, the two had visited a brothel within the mining area a few tis and fought alongside each other there.
Such a relationship was one of what’s called the “four iron bonds” of life.
At this mont, Hua Qing’s ntion of having just seen each other a few tis was purely a courtesy.
As he finished speaking, Brother Li quickly stepped forward, ca up to the leading hall guard, and whispered a few words to confirm his identity.
“So, it is Captain Hua. Since you and your group co on Vice Commander Lin’s command to assist us, where is your token? Bring it out for inspection!”
The always vigilant hall guards relaxed slightly.
The ordinarily expressionless faces now bore faint smiles. The scar-faced leader stretched out his hand and waved to Hua Qing.
The token he ntioned was not the identity tokens of Hua Qing and his n.
Such identity tokens can distinguish friend from foe. As Hua Qing and his n had just approached, the hall guards had already confird that they all held the unique identity tokens of the Heavenly Mansion mining area.
Were it not so, when Hua Qing and his n had entered the hall, the guards would not have rely barred their way but would have attacked without a word.
“Vice Commander Lin has commanded us to co here to assist, so naturally, we have his issued token.”
“My brother, if you want to inspect it, please feel free!”
With a friendly smile on his face, Hua Qing pulled out a jade pendant and handed it to the leading hall guard.
Unsuspecting, the guard nodded, reached out his hand, and took the jade pendant.
At that mont, disaster struck—a dazzling sword light blasted from the jade pendant.
With no obstruction, the sword light pierced through the guard’s armor and into his heart, blasting out a bowl-sized bloody hole.
“Attack!” At almost the sa ti, the people beside Hua Qing burst into action.
As Hua Qing was negotiating with the hall guards, his n had already chosen their targets and subtly adjusted their positions.
With their intent to take advantage of the unprepared, they achieved remarkable results, and aside from one Hall Guard who let out a tragic scream before dying, the rest likely had no clarity on how they t their demise.
If it had been any regular ti, the nearby stationed personnel would definitely have noticed sothing amiss the mont the Hall Guard scread.
However, now, the entire camp was in chaos, filled with shouting and killing, and cries of agony ca from every direction, constantly overlapping.
The dying scream of the Hall Guard killed by Hua Qing and his group was lost among them, hardly noticeable.
“Close call! Luckily, the chaos in the camp diverted the attention of the powerful, otherwise, we would definitely be dead!”
Hua Qing and the others looked tense. The mont that scream echoed, they had already gathered back to back, ready to face any sudden incidents.
It took several breaths before they saw soone rushing toward the hall they were in, leaving them with lingering fears, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
“Brother Hua, it’s good to have you inside. Otherwise, just these few Golden Immortal-level guards would have been enough to handle us!” Huang Dongming, mixed among the group behind Hua Qing, whispered gratefully.
Whether it was him or the others, they were all Golden Immortal-level from the Demon Palace.
When Man Li and several elites from the Conquest Hall launched their attack, Huang Dongming and his group, already prepared, took the opportunity during the chaos to infiltrate this Enemy-breaking Camp from the ground.
Then, they t with Hua Qing. Under his guidance, the group marched straight into the hall that housed the entrance to the rit Treasure Vault.
As for the identity tokens specific to the Heavenly Mansion faction, they were naturally prepared by Hua Qing in advance.
With Hua Qing’s status and power within the Enemy-breaking Camp, it was easy and no trouble at all for him to manage such a minor act.
“Let’s go, directly to the rit Treasure Vault below the hall.”
Hua Qing took the lead and walked into the hall.
After the several hall guards died, the inside was completely empty, devoid of outsiders.
At the front of the hall was a statue about half a person tall. Hua Qing fiddled with it, then he twisted and turned sothing behind the statue.
After a muffled sound, a dark underground passage appeared in front of the group.
Entering the passage and eliminating a few more guards, the group finally erged inside a huge storeroom, stretching hundreds of feet in all directions.
The walls around the storeroom, seemingly made of stone, glistened with a tallic luster.
This was Gravel Gold Stone, classified as a spiritual material. Although this kind of spiritual material could not be used in Artifact Refining and had no other uses aside from indestructibility.
The walls made of Gravel Gold Stone were full of densely drawn talismans, designed to cut off the Five Elents Escape Technique, while also keeping the air inside the storeroom fresh.
This storeroom, with just a single passage connecting to the hall above, was virtually impregnable by any other ans.
While the storeroom contained many different items, Hua Qing and his group were clearly not aiming for these.
“Brother Hua, co take a look, is this pair of scissors the treasure we were looking for?”
Upon entering the storeroom, several people imdiately began to search, and just a few breaths later, soone, brimming with joy, called out.
The others, hearing this, were overjoyed. Between shifts of their figures, they were already beside him.
Following the direction he pointed, they saw a huge pair of scissors, half as tall as a person and covered in rust, within their view.
The scissors were not only oddly shaped but also exceptionally heavy.
Huang Dongming stepped forward a few paces to the large scissors, and even he, considered strong among Golden Immortals, found it difficult to lift.
Using all his strength, he barely managed to lift it, but only held on for a few breaths before he uncontrollably fell, sitting on the ground, and began to breathe heavily.
