Shui Yun watched the man in black go into the tower gate, and then followed him in.
The man in black entered the tower gate, and according to the map given by Cangsong, he found the secret room on the bottom floor. According to Cangsong, the great elder would practice in the secret room every night.
At this time, the door of the secret room was half open, and the man in Mopao seemed to have seen the appearance of the First Elder anxiously leaving without even closing the door after sensing the vision of the Heavenly Eye.
The man in black walked into the secret room.
Shui Yun, who was following behind, said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's not as expected by the prince, it's a slap in the face, and there are other plans."
Shuiyun didn't follow the man in black into the secret room, she turned around and went up the stairs towards the top of the tower.
When the five elders arrived at the top floor of the South Tower, they saw that the Sky Eye Mirror was placed on the indoor stone platform as usual, but the air was filled with a strong evil spirit.
"It looks like a monster has broken in." The second elder glanced around and said.
"However, the level of this monster is too low, and it is not qualified to touch the heaven and earth magic circle, so it was killed by the sky eye mirror." The sixth elder narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't woken up from his meditation practice.
"Why didn't I see the Great Elder, he must have sensed the abnormal vision in the Sky Eye." The Third Elder said strangely.
"He lives in the South Tower. He must have arrived earlier than us. He probably went back after seeing that nothing happened."
The Sixth Elder yawned, waved his hands and said, "With Tianyan, don't worry about him being a monster or ghost. Let's all go back. It's the middle of the night, I'm so sleepy."
"No, there must be something strange about this matter." The second elder asserted: "He actually approached the Sky Eye Realm while he was talking, pretending to open the Sky Eye Realm to see what's going on.
"Second Elder, are you crazy?" Fifth Elder stopped him in time, "The Sky Eye state cannot be opened at night, or you will be punished by God. You are in charge of the Heavenly Sent Hall, you know this better than us."
After hearing this, the second elder stopped his movements.
"Why don't we go to the First Elder and ask what's going on." The Third Elder suggested.
The elders agreed with the third elder's suggestion, and they were about to go down the tower. As soon as they reached the stairs, they saw Shuiyun walking up.
"Several elders stay here." Shui Yun blocked the way of several people and said.
"Shuiyun, why are you here?" the second elder asked with a frown.
"I was ordered by the Great Elder to wait for all the elders again." Shui Yun said as he took out an identity tag emitting purple light from his body.
Several elders recognized the name tags in Shui Yun's hands, not only that each of them had one in their hands. That was what they got when they first entered Kongming Academy many years ago.
In their position, identity badges are no longer important, so they generally don't wear them on their bodies, but store them away.
So they couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw the name tag of the Great Elder at this time.
"By the order of the Great Elder, please stay at the top of the tower for the time being." Shui Yun said.
"What do you mean?" The third elder asked strangely, "Did something happen?"
"Elders, please wait a moment. After the matter is over, the First Elder will give you a reasonable explanation." Shui Yun stopped talking and did not answer questions after finishing speaking.
Although the elders were puzzled in their hearts, they still had to follow the orders of the Great Elder, so they all waited calmly.
After entering the door of the secret room, there is a passage. On both sides of the passage are two rows of stone doors. Behind the door are various treasures of the Kongming Academy.
According to intelligence, the Shenlong Art of War is stored in the third stone room on the left. The man in black took out the key that opened the tower door just now, and opened the stone chamber.
In a stone room opposite, Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo were observing the actions of the man in black outside through the hole in the stone door.
"The Secret Key of Wanhua." Li Mo said softly.
"What?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
"The black robe is holding the Myriad Transformation Secret Key, which is made by the legendary Myriad Transformation Beast Neidan, which can open all the locks in the world." Li Mo replied.
"Such a good thing is mine." Yun Ruoyan asked with a smile, "Can we go out?"
Li Mo nodded, and the two opened the door of the stone room and walked out.
In the opposite stone room, the man in black was rummaging through rows of wooden shelves for the Art of War of the Dragon. Various books and some unknown treasures were placed on the wooden shelves.
Finally, the Mopao man found a black square box in an inconspicuous corner, the box was only the size of a palm, and there was a lifelike relief of a black dragon on it.
"This is it, exactly as described in the information." The man in the black robe said, and then reached out to take the box in his hand.
"So you wanted that." Suddenly a deep voice sounded from behind the man in black.
The man in black was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Li Mo and Yun Ruoyan appearing in the stone room at some point, standing side by side in front of the stone gate.
"You... haven't you left?" the man in black looked at Li Mo in shock and said.
"I'm leaving." Li Mo said slowly, "But I'm back."
"You're deceiving me!" The black-robed man held the black box in his hand, lowered his body and made a defensive posture.
"You thought you were hiding well, but in fact you have already exposed your whereabouts. We have never attacked you, just want to see what you want to do?" Yun Ruoyan said: "Hand over the box in your hand, maybe you can spare your life .”
"Hmph, if you want to catch me, I'm afraid you don't have the ability." The black-robed man said as he threw something from his hand and hit the ground. As things shattered on the ground, a shining white light shone on the black-robed man, and the black-robed man disappeared without a trace.
"What about people, why did they suddenly disappear?" Yun Ruoyan was very surprised when he saw the black-robed man disappearing suddenly.
"It turned out to be a scroll of the teleportation array." Li Mo was also a little surprised. The teleportation array has the effect of allowing people to teleport, but casting the teleportation array consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Usually, two or three people can use it at the same time.
To go to the place of trial, at least four strong men are needed to activate the teleportation formation, but there are some teleportation scrolls left over from the distant ancient times, and these scrolls have the same function as the teleportation formation.
It's just that these teleportation scrolls are extremely rare, Li Mo has only seen one since he was a child, he didn't expect that King Ming would spend so much money for that small box, which shows how important that small box is.
"The level of the teleportation scroll just now is not high, he can't run very far, chase after him." Li Molai was in no hurry to explain Yun Ruoyan's confusion, turned around and walked out quickly, Yun Ruoyan followed behind him.
A white light flashed in mid-air on the edge of a cliff, and the man in black appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground.
"Damn, I was discovered." The black-robed man was full of annoyance, "Fortunately, the things are already in hand."
"Brother Heipao, did you succeed?"
When the man in black was about to leave with his sword, Cangsong suddenly appeared behind him.
"Successful." There was a sense of relief in the black robe's voice, "I have finally completed the task and can leave this ghostly place."
"Then congratulations, Brother Heipao." Cang Song also walked to the side of the Heipao man with a happy expression on his face.
"This time your contribution is not small. After I go back, I will definitely give you a few good words in front of King Ming. You..."
Before the man in black could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He looked at the pine tree in front of him in disbelief.
"You, you, why?" The man in black grabbed Cang Song's blood-stained hand. Cang Song was holding the handle of a short knife in his hand at this moment, and the blade completely sank into the man in black's belly.
"Hei Pao, you have been exposed." Cang Song lowered his voice and said, "You can't escape. Only by killing you and confusing everyone, can I deliver the Shenlong Art of War to the Lord. You can rest in peace."
When Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo arrived, they saw Cangsong stabbing the black-robed man's heart with a sword, and then kicking him into the cliff.
"Master Uncle Cangsong, stop." Yun Ruoyan yelled at Cangsong, but it was obviously too late, the man in black had already been kicked into the cliff by Cangsong.
Cang Song retracted his sword and looked at Li Mo and Yun Ruoyan with a calm expression on his face.
Li Mo and Yun Ruoyan walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, and Yun Ruoyan looked down at the cliff, only to see the smog below, bottomless.
"If you fall from here, there must be no bones left." Yun Ruoyan looked back at Li Mo and said.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Li Mo folded his hands behind his back and looked at Cang Song with a frown.
Cang Song still had a calm expression on his face, and he said: "I happened to wake up at night, and suddenly saw a scarlet sword light passing by my window. I saw this sword light was unfamiliar, so I chased here. The man in clothes tried to run away with his sword, so I beat him down. The man in black resisted fiercely and fought desperately, so I accidentally killed him."
Li Mo still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Yun Ruoyan.
"Master Uncle, can you see the black box in the hands of the man in black?"
"Black box?" Cang Song pretended to be puzzled, and glanced over Yun Ruoyan and Li Mo, "Are you chasing the man in black because he took the box?"
"Uncle, have you seen it?" Li Mo asked directly without answering Cang Song's question.
Cang Song thought for a while and said, "When I knocked down the man in black with the sword light just now, it seemed that something fell from his body, but I didn't see what it was exactly."
"Where did it fall?" Yun Ruoyan asked hastily.
Cangsong pointed at the flowers and trees behind, and said, "It just fell on that one."
"Master, that thing was stolen by the man in black in the south tower, it's very important." Li Mo said looking at Cang Song.
"It was stolen from the South Tower." Cang Song looked surprised, "It must be something very important, go find it."
After speaking, Cang Song walked into the flowers and trees, pretending to search carefully.
"I found it." A moment later, Yun Ruoyan found a black box among a bunch of flowers.
Yun Ruoyan took the box in her hand, and brushed her fingers over the black dragon relief on the lid, only to feel a coldness seep into her skin from the relief.
