Chapter 1792 - 1793: Yellow Key
Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on the girl, convinced that she wasn't just trying to scare them.
Unfortunately, even the demon spirit didn't know anything about this plan.
"Alright, I'll contact you when needed, the food was delicious." The demon spirit stood up and turned to leave.
As the demon spirit left, Feng Jiu asked, "How much of what she said do you think is believable?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "I can't really say, but she did give us a useful piece of information. But what exactly is this plan?"
At that moment, a powerful aura suddenly appeared not far away.
"What is this?" The three of them simultaneously looked towards the distance.
Over there, auras seemed to be in battle.
"Could it be that the Immortals and Demons have started a war?" Li Feng wondered aloud.
"Let's go check it out." Lin Chen said solemnly.
The three flew towards the source of the battle.
On the way, Lin Chen noticed several Martial Artists heading in the same direction.
After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the location where the battle energy was erupting.
It was a valley, and surprisingly, there were a hundred or so Martial Artists battling within it.
These Martial Artists were all at the high stage of Immortal Emperor level.
Nearly a hundred Immortal Emperor experts were clashing, their aura was truly formidable.
Lin Chen looked into the valley and frowned; it wasn't the imagined Immortal-Demon battle, all the combatants were from the Immortal realm.
"What exactly is going on?" Lin Chen curiously asked a Martial Artist.
The Martial Artist sighed, "I just got here too. I heard that someone inside got hold of a yellow key, which incited this battle."
Initially, the key was obtained by a Martial Artist at the early stage of Immortal Emperor. He let it slip while drunk, which led to him being killed and the key being stolen. As the news spread, a high-level Immortal Emperor fled with the key, causing the chaos here."
"Yellow key." Upon hearing the Martial Artist's words, Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
Lin Chen knew the yellow key was the hardest to find among the keys.
For so many days, he desperately searched for the keys and never saw a yellow key.
He was certain that the treasures unlocked by the yellow key must be extremely valuable.
"With so many people in a chaotic battle, how can anyone tell who has the yellow key?" Lin Chen curiously asked.
The man chuckled, "You can look at the person's body; whoever possesses the yellow key, their body will appear golden yellow."
"Wow, what a troublesome setup." Lin Chen was speechless.
In other words, the person who got the yellow key is likely being hunted by everyone.
Lin Chen originally considered trying to snatch the yellow key, but gave up the idea.
After all, obtaining the key might not be difficult, but once you have it and can't find the yellow treasure, you'll be relentlessly pursued by everyone.
Even though the three of them could easily cope with these high-level Immortal Emperors, once they got the yellow key, they'd have to constantly fend off others' pursuits, which was somewhat vexing.
Just then, nearly a hundred people dressed in black clothes appeared in the sky, all with black tiger emblems on their attire.
Seeing this group of people, everyone's hearts sank: "It's the Black Tiger Sect."
Indeed, the Black Tiger Sect surrounded the valley.
The Black Tiger Sect's strength was impressive; they had more than a dozen peak Immortal Emperor experts.
"Stop it! Hand over the yellow key or die!" Li Heihu shouted domineeringly.
"Hand over the key or die!" Nearly a hundred Black Tiger Sect experts shouted angrily in unison.
Hearing this, those still fighting stopped their struggles.
After all, the Black Tiger Sect was too strong, and although these people were numerous, most of them were enemies with each other.
The person possessing the yellow key reluctantly handed it over to Li Heihu.
With the yellow key in hand, a sinister smile appeared on Li Heihu's face.
"Let's go." Li Heihu said coldly.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt disgruntled.
After struggling for so long, they realized they were only making wedding clothes for others—what a bummer.
But the Black Tiger Sect was too strong; they simply couldn't match them. Even if unwilling, they could only stifle their frustration.
Lin Chen watched the departure direction of the Black Tiger Sect members, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Let's follow them."
Lin Chen had a feeling that the sudden arrival of the Black Tiger Sect to seize the key meant they knew the location of the yellow treasure.
The Black Tiger Sect had a deep enmity with Lin Chen, so he certainly wouldn't easily let them obtain the treasure.
The Black Tiger Sect came quickly and left quickly, soon arriving at a valley.
Upon reaching the valley, the Black Tiger Sect members sealed off the entire valley.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems these guys indeed know the treasure's hidden location."
Feng Jiu chuckled, "Since it's this way, it saves us a lot of trouble."
Lin Chen nodded, "Yeah, it seems our luck isn't bad."
The three transformed into Black Tiger Sect disciples.
Because Black Tiger Sect disciples all wore black masks on their faces, it conveniently allowed Lin Chen and his companions to disguise as Black Tiger Sect members.
The three managed to pass through several checkpoints, finally reaching a cave entrance.
At the cave entrance stood a dozen Black Tiger Sect disciples.
These disciples were all high-stage Immortal Emperors.
"How do we get in?" Feng Jiu whispered.
This place could be considered the last hurdle to the treasure, making entry quite challenging.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and whispered a plan into Feng Jiu and Li Feng's ears.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's plan, the two nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, the Black Tiger Sect disciples at the cave mouth were on high alert.
This area was a forbidden zone, not allowing anyone to come close.
Just then, two Black Tiger Sect disciples started arguing.
"Kid, you clearly took a blue key just now, hand it over." One disciple shouted angrily.
"Hand it over? Why? I saw it first." The other disciple replied discontentedly.
"You saw it? I was the one who saw it first. If you don't give it, I'll take your life today."
Words failed, and they started fighting.
Seeing this, the leader guarding the cave mouth frowned, "You two, stop it."
Yet the two didn't heed the advice and fought more fiercely.
"You guys go over and stop them." The gatekeeper ordered coldly.
Then, several Martial Artists at the cave rushed towards the two.
During their struggle, a blue key fell to the ground.
Seeing the blue key, the Martial Artists' eyes turned red.
Even the one responsible for guarding the gate showed a greedy expression.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
A dozen people simultaneously rushed toward the blue key.
However, they didn't notice that a figure had already entered the cave from behind them.
