Chapter 208 Spirit Stones
Seeing that the masked men were unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, and that they had seen through his delaying tactic, the dozen or so soldiers began to panic. Their original intention was simply to scare these men into backing down.
Who knew they'd run into such a tough opponent, one who looked ready to fight. They'd already sent a signal when they discovered someone had broken in; reinforcements shouldn't arrive for a while.
For hundreds of years, no one in the Moyun Kingdom has ever dared to rob the Moke Territory's spirit stone vault!
They thought this guard post would be a lucrative job, but this has turned out to be a disaster. They can't retreat, and they can't run away. If the city really falls, they probably won't survive!
Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn't help but groan inwardly, "What kind of mess is this?!" Despite this, they all drew their weapons and faced Bai Ke and his men.
Forget it, let's take a gamble! We have so many of them, while they only have a handful! At least we have the advantage in numbers. Even two against one should be enough to hold out for a while.
Although Bai Ke and his group came to rob the spirit stone vault of Mo Yun Kingdom without the elder's knowledge, how could the elder, with his abilities, not know anything about it?
Presumably, they were also annoyed and irritable from being chased by the people of Moyun Kingdom, so they tacitly approved of Bai Ke and his group's actions and pretended to be unaware of them.
It has to be said, experience truly matters. This elder tacitly approved of Bai Ke and his group's actions, then pretended to know nothing about them, except that as an elder of the Tian Ce Palace, he couldn't make such an outrageous decision.
Another major reason is that if Bai Ke and his group were discovered among the powerful spirit stones, even if something bad happened to them, the elder of Tian Ce Palace wouldn't be able to bear much responsibility.
Therefore, why not let Bai Ke lead a group to take revenge on the King of Moyun Kingdom and teach him a lesson? The disciples can also get some spirit stones. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
On another note, Bai Ke saw that they had also set up their formation and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. These people didn't need him to lift a finger.
He turned and winked at one of the masked men behind him, saying, "Da Chuan! You took care of those guys with your men. This time you're out on a mission, you should at least let your senior brother see if you've improved!"
"Alright, Senior Brother!" The man nodded in agreement. The Da Chuan that Bai Ke mentioned was the disciple who had stayed with Bai Ke at the inn last time.
For some reason, after the last time, the disciple named Da Chuan admired Bai Ke even more and completely submitted to Bai Ke's charms.
He followed Bai Ke around busily, doing everything he could to help, and Bai Ke didn't stop him. Having such a subordinate to do things for him was quite convenient!
Da Chuan then called a few companions, and the group walked to the front and swept their spiritual power over the soldiers surrounding them.
The soldiers hit by the sweep immediately collapsed, unconscious. In that split second, none of them had even managed to retaliate…
"Senior Brother, they're really messing things up. They collapse so easily. How are we supposed to judge whether we've made any progress?" Da Chuan grumbled to Bai Ke with a dissatisfied expression.
"Alright, alright, stop talking so much. If something happens later, you'll have your chance to show off your skills! Stop standing here daydreaming. They've probably already sent a signal to call for reinforcements. We need to hurry!"
Upon hearing Bai Ke's words, everyone realized what was happening and quickly followed in Bai Ke's footsteps to continue walking forward.
The road ahead grew narrower and darker, and all the candles were gone. There were some candles left on the walls along the road.
However, Bai Ke and his group were worried about potential traps, so for safety's sake, they didn't turn on any lights. Fortunately, it wasn't completely dark; there was still a sliver of light to help them see the path.
The group groped their way forward.
"Hey? There's light ahead!" one of the leading disciples suddenly exclaimed as they walked.
"Let's go! Let's go check it out! Be careful, everyone!"
"Yes!" the disciples replied in hushed tones. Perhaps out of nervousness, or perhaps out of fear of alerting the enemy, they all unconsciously lowered their voices.
Before long, the road finally became wider again, and the disciples were able to move freely.
"Wow! It's spirit stones! So many spirit stones!" Hearing the sound coming from ahead, the other disciples looked at each other and hurriedly ran forward.
When they arrived there, their eyes, which had been in darkness all along, were not used to the bright light and were almost blinded by the light emitted by the spirit stones in the darkness.
Wow! There are so many spirit stones!
"Yeah yeah!"
"I've never seen so many spirit stones before!"
"Me too!"
……
At the end of the passage, the ground was covered with boxes; there were hundreds, if not thousands, of them.
The boxes were filled with all sorts of high-grade spirit stones, so much so that the lids couldn't be closed properly.
Not only spirit stones, but also other rare treasures were placed around it. The things placed here are probably not ordinary, and any one of them could be a priceless treasure.
The ruler of Moyun Kingdom is too carefree. Does he have confidence in the array in the spirit stone vault of Moke Territory, or in the soldiers guarding it, or in the Tian Ce Palace?
It's one thing to put spirit stones here, but to put all the treasures of the Mo Yun Kingdom here as well, I really don't know what to say.
So it could only be left open like that, which is why Bai Ke and his group were almost blinded by the spirit stones when they came over.
The disciples were quite agitated by this scene and started chattering amongst themselves.
"What are we waiting for? The spirit stones are right in front of us, let's hurry up and fill them up, in case people from Moyun Kingdom come later!"
"Oh right, right, right! Hurry up!"
As they were talking, they saw several people eagerly stepping forward to take the spirit stone.
"Stop! Don't move for now, be careful! I have a feeling this is the treasury of a nation, how could they let us take it so easily! It's better to be cautious!"
At this point, Lin Xiu could no longer contain himself. "I say, Senior Brother, your worries are far too unnecessary! We finally made it here with great difficulty, how come you make it sound so easy!"
If you ask me, just grab it directly, what are you dawdling for? If we keep dragging this out, the supporters from Mo Yun Kingdom will arrive soon, and we won't be able to get anything. Wouldn't that mean we've come all this way for nothing?
Disciples of Tian Ce Palace! Stop listening to your senior brother's nagging and hesitation! Hurry up and stuff spirit stones into your storage rings, storage bags, or any other storage space you can fit!
"If anyone comes later, there won't be anything left. You'll regret it!" As soon as these words were spoken, several disciples were already itching to go forward.
