Chapter 222.2
People! People are coming out!
Did you find the treasure?
Speak up! Is there a tomb of Heavenly Khan inside, or something else?
The group that had just come out was dumbfounded.
They thought they had escaped a disaster and were about to start anew, but instead, they were met with a sea of people.
The crowd looked at them with excited eyes as if ready to devour them.
What do you want to do?
Let me tell you, we are disciples of the Iron Sword Sect. If you dare to mess with us, the elders and the sect leader of the Iron Sword Sect will not let you off!
All of you must absolutely not mess around!
Their voices grew weaker as they spoke.
Thats because they realized that many were as strong as their sect leader and elders among this group of people, which was terrifying!
Are you disciples of the Iron Sword Sect? A resolute-looking person stepped forward.
The group of young people who had just emerged felt a surge of relief upon seeing him as if they had found a lifesaver.
Elder Liu! Elder Liu, youve come!
Whats going on here?
Why are there so many people?
They gathered behind the Iron Sword Sect elder as if that could alleviate the fear in their hearts.
Little did they know that the Iron Sword Sect elder was also trembling with fear inside.
He wouldnt have wanted to stand out so conspicuously if these people werent from his own sect.
At that moment, the Grandmasters arrived.
Yin Jiuhuang spoke with a pleasant expression, So you are the young heroes of the Iron Sword Sect! Ive heard youve been inside for several days and only now have you come out! What did you encounter inside and what did you find? Can you share it with me?
Elder Liu, who is this
Do not be disrespectful!
The Iron Sword Sect elder said sternly, Let me introduce you. This elder here is Grandmaster Yin Jiuhuang of the Great Yin Empire! This is Grandmaster Ling Rushan of the Great Dong Empire, and this is
The Iron Sword Sect elder introduced them one by one with great respect.
The group of disciples was stunned!
They never thought they would have the chance to speak with four Grandmasters!
Was this an honor or a misfortune?
Tell them everything you found inside the cave without any concealment, understand? the Iron Sword Sect elder said helplessly.
With so many strong people watching, it was impossible to keep any secrets.
Yes, yes Elder, we understand! They trembled.
They took a sip of water and ate some dry food to fill their stomachs.
Then, they pushed their eldest senior brother forward.
The eldest senior brother said with a wry smile, To tell the truth, we didnt find anything in the cave, so we dont know how to start explaining!
Youve been inside for several days. How could you possibly have found nothing? Young hero, lying is not good! Ling Rushan said darkly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
The eldest senior brother hurriedly said, Senior, its the truth! How dare we deceive you? The inside is full of more winding and interconnected caves and you cant even see your hand in front of you! Although we spent a few days inside, all our time was spent looking for a way out, and we only just managed to find our way out. I can swear on my parents lives!
Seeing that he didnt seem to be lying, Sword Elder said, Tell us in detail what happened after you entered the cave!
Yes, Sword Elder!
The eldest senior brother recounted everything that happened after they entered the cave in great detail.
Everyone was astonished upon hearing it.
The cave was too deep, with interlinked caves within caves.
These people were all strong martial artists, yet they could still get lost down there, spending days and nights to finally make their way out, which was truly frightening.
However, this also implied that there must be something extraordinary inside.
Otherwise, who would go to the trouble of creating such an extensive network of caves?
What was the purpose?
Could this really be the tomb of the Heavenly Khan?
After spending so much time down there, did you encounter anyone else? someone pressed on.
The eldest disciple honestly replied, To tell the truth, we havent come across anyone else since the first cave split off! We have no way of knowing whether they are dead or alive. Please forgive us!
Having been down there for so long, did you really find nothing? Ling Rushan asked, unwilling to accept this.
Well we really found nothing! The eldest disciple and the others shook their heads.
But at this moment, the 16-year-old boy slowly raised his hand, speaking in a faint voice, Um I have a small discovery, but Im not sure if it counts!
What discovery? everyone asked.
This! The boy pulled something out of his pocket.
It was a delicate and exquisite already damaged oval-shaped piece of porcelain with a unique pattern on it.
What is this? the crowd wondered.
Yin Jiuhuangs eyes lit up. He quickly snatched the object and examined it closely, exclaiming, This is the Nine Dragons Spiral Pattern!
What is the Nine Dragons Spiral Pattern? everyone asked, puzzled.
The Nine Dragons spiral pattern refers to the pattern on this porcelain. It was a particularly popular style during the Khan Empire 3,000 years ago! It is said that the Heavenly Khan of that time favored this spiral pattern, ordering it to be inscribed on various carvings! The people followed suit, and it became one of the trends of the time!
The Nine Dragons Spiral Pattern from the Khan Empire era!
With that said, this cave could very likely have been constructed during the Khan Empire!
Who in that era had the capability to build such a cave?
Heavenly Khan, Genghis Khan!!!
And why would he build such a complex and massive cave?
As his final resting place!!!
Everyone was no fool and quickly understood everything.
Looking at the seemingly bottomless cave before them, their eyes began to burn with excitement.
The timeline matched!
The project matched!
This cave could very well be the tomb of the Heavenly Khan!
Inside, there might be untold riches!
Weapons of unparalleled power!
And the invincible cultivation methods of the Heavenly Khan!
At this moment, everyone was itching to jump in and search for the treasure.
Where did you find this, young man? Ling Rushan patted the boys shoulder, asking in a gentle tone.
Overwhelmed by the attention, the 16-year-old boy replied, Report to the senior, I found it on the ground inside the cave. I thought it was interesting, so I brought it back as a souvenir. I never imagined
You did well picking it up. Youve helped us unravel many mysteries and made my trip worthwhile!
Ling Rushan laughed heartily, This item is yours. Take it back as a keepsake! Your name will surely be mentioned in the history books!
With that, he handed the porcelain shard back to the boy.
Thank you, senior! the boy said, excitedly taking it back.
