With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xing signaled for the people of Huaxia to leave, and they hurriedly departed, taking their army with them. The remaining three kingdoms observed this hurried exit, and Master Juechen seemed to have realized something from the departure of the Huaxia people. He spoke up, "Everyone, the monk is leaving as well. However, before I go, I have one piece of advice: you should also leave quickly and not foolishly attempt to force open the Bronze Door to obtain other legacies! With that said, I take my leave!"
With that, Jue Chen led the Thai army away from the area. Unlike the earlier departure of the Huaxia people, the Thai seemed to be fleeing in panic. At this moment, the people of Wa Country and Yue Country exchanged glances. Originally, these two nations feared being driven away by Huaxia's numerical superiority. Just as Jue Chen had mentioned, they had already conspired to wait for an opportunity to break open the Bronze Door and divide the remaining legacies inside.
However, the hasty departure of the Huaxia people and Jue Chen's parting words left both nations astonished. No one noticed that the surrounding yellow sand had begun to emit a hissing sound as it gradually started to slide downwards.
At this moment, Kazama Tadao gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Kimura, let's get started. The Huaxia people don't want this legacy; we cannot give up! You must understand that there are treasures behind every one of the hundred legacy doors, and over eighty more legacies! I have already obtained the Spirit-Repelling Technique and Eight Slash Blade; surely there are similar treasures behind the other doors!"
"Exactly! Lord Kimura, those Huaxia people don't recognize value; this is unclaimed land. Whoever occupies it first owns it!" Sakai Tomokazu added while fondly touching a metallic object in his backpack.
As the people of Wa Country discussed their plans, Ruan Liupang suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of confidence. Unlike when he was under Ruan Sanyun's command, he was now extremely excited and boldly declared, "Hmph! A bunch of cowards! Yue Country soldiers, install the explosives!"
With a swift motion, Yue Country soldiers began wrapping thick bundles of explosives around the Bronze Door. However, their leader expressed deep concern and said, "Master Ruan, perhaps we should wait a moment; I find it strange that the Huaxia people are retreating."
"Smack!"
A crimson handprint appeared on this person's right cheek as Ruan Liupang struck him swiftly. With his blood-red eyes fixed on the leader, he said, "Are you questioning my decision? Now that Third Brother and Seventh Brother are gone, I hold all authority! Detonate!"
The soldiers trembled as they shakily connected the fuses to the explosives. At that moment, everyone from Yue Country and Wa Country retreated hastily. A series of thunderous explosions erupted as yellow sand flew everywhere. As smoke gradually cleared away, Ruan Liupang charged directly into where the Bronze Door stood. However, once he entered, a Female Onmyoji from Wa Country noticed something unusual about how the surrounding sand was moving.
She immediately called out to stop everyone from advancing. At this time, Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu looked around in horror and exclaimed, "People of Wa Country! Drop everything and retreat quickly! This is a quicksand grave!"
Kazama Tadao's warning stunned everyone from Yue Country as well. Ruan Liupang had already reached the damaged Bronze Door and stood atop the swirling sands when he clenched his teeth in frustration upon seeing everyone desperately fleeing around him. He noticed that a crack had formed in the Bronze Door and was gradually sinking into the ground. Furious, Ruan Liupang punched down into the quicksand.
"I won't accept this! I'm not willing!" But despite his unwillingness, life was still paramount. With a gust beneath his feet, Ruan Liupang quickly surpassed ordinary soldiers as a Sorcerer of Truth Realm. Just then, quicksand began to swirl into an underground vortex; mountains and everything else—including the Bronze Door—were being drawn into it. Soldiers who failed to escape in time or hesitated to drop their burdens vanished into the sandy pit below.
Finally, the yellow sand beneath their feet ceased to writhe, and the talents from Wa Country and Yue Country dared to turn back. Everything behind them had vanished, taking with it countless young lives of soldiers. Wa Country had retreated the earliest, shedding their burdens swiftly, resulting in fewer sacrifices. In contrast, the people of Yue Country were not wealthy; their weapons and supplies were as precious as life itself. Their mentality of valuing wealth over life cost them nearly half of their soldiers.
The yellow sand buried everything, just like Wenren Zhongheng's fate. The Bronze Door had disappeared, and at this moment, the remaining individuals from Wa Country and Yue Country returned to their respective lands. However, both nations attributed the deaths caused by their own greed to Huaxia. Blame-shifting was something Huaxia had always endured, regardless of its involvement!
Thus, Yue Country became the biggest loser in this event. Yet, did the profit-driven Yue Country truly care about the deaths of ordinary soldiers? The answer was affirmative. At this moment, Ruan Liupang sat on a plane returning to Yue Country alongside a leader bearing a red palm print on his face. Ruan Liupang laughed with this person as if the thousands of soldiers who had just died were nonexistent.
"Master Ruan! Regarding the Open Sea Arena a month from now, what are your thoughts?"
"Hmph, the death of Third Brother was caused by that young man from Huaxia. A month later, I will definitely kill him to avenge my brother! Locust Descent Technique! Rifthead Barbarian! What wonderful treasures!" Ruan Liupang chuckled while stroking the black jar in his arms. However, those unaware would only think there were these two treasures and overlook the Metal Belt. Only Ruan Liupang could sense that the Metal Belt had just wriggled slightly.
A similar scene unfolded on the plane heading to Wa Country. Kazama Tadanobu cherished his Straight Blade as if it were a beloved child, while the other four stroked their own acquired treasures. Their conversations were essentially the same: preparing for a month later when they would use their treasures to kill someone from Huaxia and claim their spoils.
Only the Female Onmyoji glanced thoughtfully at her teammates before quickly turning to gaze out at the scenery outside; no one knew what she was contemplating.
On Huaxia's side, thanks to Xiao Yefeng's intelligence, they had withdrawn early without losing a single soldier. During their return journey, Mo Fei and Xiao Yefeng exchanged information about their acquired treasures.
Indeed, it wasn't just Xiao Yefeng who faced bad luck; Mo Fei also received a legacy that suited him perfectly—a straight-bladed Tang Dao-style Battle Blade. With its ability to cut through hair with ease, the Battle Blade provided by the Metaphysics Society was no match for this sword. Unfortunately, there was only one; being skilled in dual blades left him somewhat disappointed. Nevertheless, possessing a spirit-grade weapon made Mo Fei ecstatic.
Moreover, Mo Fei obtained a manual for Sword Technique cultivation. Among five techniques, he practiced diligently until he reached a proficient level, though he still had some distance to go before mastering them completely.
As for the others, they each had their own gains; however, no one was willing to elaborate on what they received. Regarding the competition a month later, everyone from Huaxia felt confident. However, it seemed likely that only Xiao Yefeng and four others would participate since one month was too short a time to fully comprehend what they had learned.
Yet Xiao Yefeng returned with excitement unaware that a significant trap awaited him on his journey home! As soon as the plane landed, he spotted Mei Chuanqiong anxiously waiting at the airport!
"Wind, it's not good! Mei Mo'er and Yiyi are in trouble!" Mei Chuanqiong's eyes were bloodshot, not from Dracula's Blood, but because he hadn't slept for three nights. The reason was his conversation with Xiao Yefeng.
"What happened?" Xiao Yefeng asked, puzzled.
"In the deep of the night four days ago, Mei Mo'er went to protect Yiyi while preparing for her cultivation, and since then, they disappeared from the Golden House Courtyard. When we found them again, the two girls were lying in separate villas—one in Villa One and the other in Villa Two. No one could approach these two villas. The President and you are not in Huaxia, and the Metaphysics Society has sent several masters to guard the Golden House Courtyard, but unfortunately, even these masters cannot get close!" Mei Chuanqiong said anxiously.
At that moment, Jiang Xing approached and asked, "Wind, what’s wrong?"
After speaking with Jiang Xing, who was also troubled by the situation, he realized that everyone had gained something from their trip to Han Hai Desert. They couldn't afford to scatter now; they needed to focus on their insights. Although he wanted to rush over personally, he couldn't abandon his companions. Thus, Jiang Xing could only say, "Wind, you go ahead. Handle it quickly and return to Beijing North!"
Having just disembarked from the plane, Xiao Yefeng immediately transferred to another flight and returned to Hangzhou with Mei Chuanqiong. By the time they reached the Golden House Courtyard, it was already late at night. Strangely enough, despite such a significant incident occurring at the Golden House Courtyard, no one seemed to know about it. Mei Mo'er lay unconscious in the hall of Villa Two while Liu Yiyi was in Villa One, observing from outside.
Several geomancers stationed there and Lu Zhan also arrived. Given that Xiao Yefeng had become a hot topic within the Metaphysics Society, they certainly had to be present when he came to deal with the mess he hadn’t resolved himself.
Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Yefeng with a worried expression as Xiao Yefeng ascended to the rooftop of Villa Three. Under the brilliant starlight, he observed the changes in Earth Qi around him. With Observer's Eye activated, there were no obstructions; indeed, the terrain had already been stimulated. The Beautiful Grooming terrain had been split into two at its inception; now the Yintang Point had been activated as well, causing Earth Qi to surge forth from its bifurcated point.
The wandering souls attracted here had already been dispersed by previous geomancers. The cursed location of the Two Goddesses was precisely where the Yintang Point lay; no one could withstand the surging Earth Qi emanating from this truth realm—especially not these geomancers with insufficient cultivation!
But how could this happen? When Xiao Yefeng first arrived here, he noticed that although this place had a yin house terrain configuration, it had been perfectly divided at its inception. The Beautiful Grooming terrain was protected by an Eight Trigrams Formation created by Villas Three through Eighteen. The Yintang Point had also been cleaved to weaken the gathering of Yin Qi. In contrast, where General Guan hung his seal was filled with Yang energy. With this balance of Yin and Yang and after adjustments made by Flower Mountain Park, there shouldn't have been a situation where the yin house of Golden House Courtyard was independently activated!
