Chapter 159: Fighting for Treasures, Winning in Danger
"Three, two, one..." Yan Yue had just finished speaking when he deftly moved the mechanism with his fingertips. With a light "click", the mechanism around the treasure chest suddenly stopped working.
Nong Jin was about to praise Yan Yue's wit when suddenly, a commotion came from the entrance of the ruins.
"Who's in there?!" A majestic shout rang out, and then a group of cultivators in uniform came in one after another. Leading them was an old man with white hair and beard, who was Elder Yun from the Yunhai Sect.
He scanned the interior of the ruins with sharp eyes, finally landing on Yan Yue and Nong Jin.
"Oh, so it's you two juniors! How dare you get there first? The things in this treasure chest belong to our Yunhai Sect!" Elder Yun spoke in an arrogant tone, his eyes full of greed.
The disciples behind him also drew their weapons and surrounded Yan Yue and Nong Jin.
"Elder Yun, it's not certain who this treasure belongs to!" Nong Jin sneered, protecting Yan Yue behind him, and his aura suddenly burst out, like a beast ready to attack.
"Hmph, you're overestimating yourself!" Elder Yun glanced at Nong Jin with disdain and waved his hand, "Go ahead! Grab the treasure chest!"
Just as the Yunhai Sect disciples were about to rush up, Yan Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
She took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and activated a hidden mechanism again.
In an instant, complex runes appeared on the ground of the ruins, and a small defensive formation was activated instantly, trapping Elder Yun and his disciples inside.
"What's going on?!" Elder Yun's face changed drastically. He found himself trapped in a transparent energy shield that could not be broken no matter how hard he attacked.
"A mere trifle!" A disciple beside him snorted coldly, condensing a sharp sword energy from the long sword in his hand and slashing fiercely at the energy shield... Yan Yue watched this scene, a gleam in his eyes, and whispered to Nong Jin, "Next, there's something interesting to watch..."
The sword energy slashed fiercely on the energy shield, but it was like a drop in the ocean, not even a ripple appeared.
"What?!" The disciple was shocked. This formation was so powerful!
Seeing this, the other disciples also took out their magic weapons, and all kinds of colorful attacks rained down on the formation, but all failed.
Elder Yun's face turned pale. It was obvious that this formation could not be broken in a short time.
He glared at Yan Yue and Nong Jin fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you two little bastards play tricks on me!"
Nong Jin sneered disdainfully: "Elder Yun, all's fair in war, this is called tactics! Who made you so greedy that you have to snatch our treasures?" As he spoke, he secretly circulated his spiritual power, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Yan Yue watched the people of Yunhai Sect who were fighting desperately with great interest, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This formation was obtained by chance in her previous life. It is so powerful that even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage would find it difficult to break it.
She patted Nong Jin's hand, signaling him to be patient.
"Don't be impatient. Let them jump around for a while. When they run out of energy, we can slowly deal with them."
Inside the formation, the disciples of the Yunhai Sect had begun to panic.
They attacked for a long time but didn't even touch the edge of the formation. Instead, they consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
"Elder, this formation is too weird, we can't break it at all!" A disciple shouted with sweat on his forehead.
Elder Yun frowned and cursed in his heart.
He never imagined that these two seemingly insignificant young men actually had such a powerful trump card.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic! Let's attack together, maybe we can find a breakthrough!"
Upon hearing this, the Yunhai Sect disciples immediately reorganized their formation and concentrated all their attacks on one point of the formation.
For a moment, energy collided, light shone everywhere, and the entire ruins shook.
Seeing this, Nong Jin's eyes became stern and he protected Yan Yue even more closely.
At this moment, Yan Yue suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the treasure chest... A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to Nong Jin: "Jin, help me block it, I feel like I'm about to succeed!"
Yan Yue's slender fingers danced quickly on the treasure chest, as if playing an ancient piece of music.
The runes on the treasure chest flashed with strange light and emitted a buzzing resonance sound as she moved.
Elder Yun was overjoyed when he saw that the formation was about to be broken. He was about to order an all-out attack when he saw the treasure chest suddenly glow brightly and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky!
"It's done!" Yan Yue exclaimed excitedly.
The treasure chest slowly opened, and inside lay a crystal clear jade pendant quietly, emitting a faint fragrance.
This is the legendary "Heart-Protecting Jade", which can resist all attacks from inner demons and is the treasure that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation dreams of!
"How can this be! This treasure is mine!" Elder Yun's eyes were bloodshot. The duck that was about to be in his mouth actually flew away!
He roared angrily and rushed towards Yan Yue desperately.
"Want to rob? Have you asked me?" Nong Jin sneered, and his figure flashed, standing in front of Yan Yue.
He formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and a huge golden light curtain appeared out of thin air, blocking all of Elder Yun's attacks.
"Jin, the eternal god!" Yan Yue winked playfully, and while Nong Jin was resisting Elder Yun, he grabbed the heart-protecting jade and turned around to run.
"Want to run? No way!" Elder Yun was furious, but he was held tightly by Nong Jin and could only watch Yan Yue disappear from his sight.
"Damn it! I'm so angry!" Elder Yun roared angrily, but he could do nothing.
Nong Jin looked at Elder Yun's frustrated expression and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Elder Yun, remember to bring enough people next time!" After saying that, he turned around and left in a cool manner.
After Yan Yue successfully escaped, he met up with Nong Jin at the agreed location.
"I've dealt with one, and I still need two!" Yan Yue shook the heart-protecting jade in his hand and smiled like a little fox who had stolen some meat.
Nong Jin ruffled her hair lovingly, "Where are we going next?"
Yan Yue looked up into the distance, and the mysterious forest shrouded in thick fog was looming.
"The map shows that the next treasure is on the spirit turtle in the Misty Forest..." Before he finished speaking, the two looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.
