Chapter 199: Refuge
The treasure ship materialized silently within a massive hall.
The hall stood ten zhang high, with a rough design held up by a few colossal stone pillars. These pillars were pitted and unpolished, and aside from them, the hall was void of decoration. At the far end stretched a deep, shadowed passageway, leading to unknown depths.
As soon as the treasure ship appeared, a squad of ten guards rushed over. Each guard wore standard armor, inscribed with barrier runes, making it a fairly powerful defensive artifact.
Each guard had a token hanging at their waist, though they varied in style. The leader, who had reached the Foundation Building Realm, bore a token marking his rank as captain.
The treasure ship gave a gentle shudder, releasing its passengers, and then disappeared into Che Yutao’s palm, vanishing from sight.
Despite the hall's immense size, it still felt spacious even with the gathering crowd.
The captain of the guard squad quickly approached Che Yutao and bowed respectfully. "General Yu Yangzi of Xuanlu Stronghold greets Uncle Master Che!"
Che Yutao acknowledged with a simple "Mhmm" and said, "You will handle the arrangements for these people."
Before he had even finished speaking, Che Yutao disappeared from where he stood.
