Among those who entered the cave to hunt for treasure were mbers of the Iron Sword Sect, led by the sa senior brother as before.

Compared to their first treasure hunt, this ti, they were fully equipped.

Are the provisions and water ready?

Ready, senior brother!

Are the flint and torches ready?

Ready, senior brother!

Are the Dragon-Seeking ruler and Luoyang shovel ready?

Ready, senior brother!

After checking everything, the senior brother was very satisfied: Good! Since everyone is ready, lets set out!

Yes, senior brother! Everyone lit their torches.

The senior brother looked at the blazing torches, which seed to be burning their money, and felt a pang of pain: This is too extravagant. One torch is enough. Does the landlords family have any surplus grain? (TLN: Shouldnt waste things even if we think we have plenty.)

Yes, senior brother!

The other torches were extinguished one by one, leaving only one to lead the way.

Hoping to find sothing valuable, they chose a different path this ti.

To alleviate the monotony of the journey, the senior brother spoke up, Fellow junior brothers and sisters, this is our second ti entering the cave in search of treasure! Compared to others, we have a great chance of finding the treasure!

Even though the real treasure might be out of our reach, well surely get a share of the rewards if we make a significant contribution! Just a fraction of those rewards would be enough for us to live a life free of financial worries!

So everyone, perk up and put your all into treasure hunting, so we can make our fortunes!

Yes, senior brother!

With such hopes, they continued on their way.

At first, they encountered many fellow travelers, but as they ventured deeper, they were left on their own.

It was then that the senior brother exclaid, Lets go back!

Senior brother Everyone looked puzzled.

With a serious expression, the senior brother said, Weve been walking for over two hours now, covering fifty or sixty li, but still, weve found nothing. There can only be one explanation. Were going in the wrong direction! Its better to look for another path rather than stayibng on this path! Its probably getting late, so lets head back!

Yes, senior brother! No one objected.

Have you made a mark? We cant afford to get lost like last ti! the senior brother asked.

A rather simple and honest young man raised his hand, Rest assured, senior brother, Ive made markings all along the way. We can definitely find our way back!

Good, lets head back now! They followed the markings back.

However, in less than half an hour, they discovered the markings had disappeared.

The simple young man panicked, I rember there was a mark here, where did it go?

Senior brother, its really like were cursed!

Senior brother, what do we do now?

Can we still find our way back?

Everyone was sowhat alard.

But the senior brother remained calm, saying, Dont panic everyone. After all, this is the tomb of Heavenly Khan. Anything could happen! Luckily, I ca prepared!

The senior brother nodded at soone behind him, who put down a box he was carrying.

Upon opening it, they saw a homing pigeon inside.

The senior brother smiled proudly, This pigeon was borrowed from our sect. It knows the way back and will surely lead us back!

Senior brother is wise! they all shouted in unison.

They released the pigeon and followed it.

The pigeon flew and flew, carrying their hopes forward

Then the pigeon crashed into a wall and fell down.

Disciples of the Iron Sword Sect:

Soone picked up the pigeon from the ground, and panic set in, Senior brother, the pigeon seems to be dead. What do we do now?

F*ck! How did it suddenly just die?

Why would it just fly into a wall like that? What was it thinking?

Without the pigeon, what do we do now?

Senior brother!

Once again, panic ensued.

True to his title, the senior brother remained composed in the face of this situation, calmly saying, Everyone, dont panic. It doesnt matter even if the pigeon is dead. I have another plan!

The senior brother then took out a stick of sandalwood from his pocket.

After it was lit, it actually emitted purple smoke, which then drifted in a certain direction.

The senior brother laughed proudly, This is sothing I prepared specially! Its called the Mystic Trace Incense, extrely sensitive to the wind! If we follow it, theres a great chance well find the exit.

Senior brother is brilliant! everyone shouted again.

So, they followed the purple smoke on their way.

After about half an hour, they ended up back where they started.

Disciple of the Iron Sword Sect:

Senior brother, it seems weve circled back?

Could we be lost again?

Senior brother, what should we do?

Panic set in once more.

The senior brother was starting to panic too, but he tried to stay calm: Dont be afraid, everyone, I have another plan!

Despite all his efforts, the senior brother still couldnt find a way out of the cave.

It wasnt just them. Other treasure hunters faced the sa problem.

They had made many preparations, but in the end, they found that none of it helped, and they couldnt find their way out.

anwhile, Lin Beifan in the imperial palace was happily playing with the Empire Sandbox.

Whenever he saw a guiding rope, he would secretly cut it.

Whenever he saw a small cat or dog, he would secretly kill it.

Whenever he saw a marker, he would secretly destroy it.

He also randomly shifted the caves, keeping the people inside running in circles.

This is the correct way to use the Empire Sandbox! I wont let you out until youve exhausted all your supplies!

Thus, half a month passed in this way.

The caves were practically a one-way trip with very few people coming out.

Those who did co out had almost exhausted their supplies.

Then, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and buy treasure-hunting supplies again from Great Xia at high prices.

anwhile, the outside world had beco even livelier.

The number had increased from 300,000 to 500,000.

Among them, the number of Innate masters had reached triple digits, and even the number of Grandmaster experts had exceeded a dozen, truly a grand event.

Everyone ca with hopes of striking it rich overnight.

Of course, Great Xia also made a fortune from this, their coffers overflowing.

However, after more than half a month with little to show for it, many forces were growing impatient.

So, the various powers called a eting to discuss their strategy.
