Chapter 5948 Nothing

Luo Chaoren urged everyone, "Don't waste time, let's keep going."

"We are getting closer and closer to the destination. Although we won't encounter any danger according to the map left by our master, we should be careful. After all, no one has ever been to this underground world. I don't know if there are any unknown dangers hidden."

After Li Xu told everyone, she still led the way and continued to move forward.

Chen Yang walked at the back. Gao Ming, who was not consistent in his appearance, walked side by side with Chen Yang and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Chen, you are so lucky. This time you picked up a treasure for free."

"It's all thanks to the kindness of all senior brothers."

Chen Yang bowed his hands and said. Although he was polite to Gao Ming on the surface, he always felt that Gao Ming was a little weird in his heart, as if he was brewing some conspiracy.

Gao Ming smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chen, we are all from the same sect, so we should help each other. This time, we all have a common secret, and we must be loyal to each other in the future."

"Senior Brother Gao is right." Chen Yang nodded and agreed.

After walking for another half an hour, the five people did not encounter any danger along the way, and everything was calm.

But they didn't, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Before entering Tao Qiuming's former residence, any accident could happen.

After a while, Li Xu's speed gradually increased, with excitement on his face, and finally stopped in front of a huge stone pillar.

"Finally here."

It was Luo Chaoren who spoke. Apart from Li Xu, he was the only one who had seen the map among the crowd.

Tao Lexuan couldn't wait and asked, "Brother Luo, what should we do next?"

At this time, Li Xu also looked at Luo Chaoren.

Although she had seen the map, after arriving here, only Luo Chaoren knew how to open Tao Qiuming's former residence.

"Watch me."

Luo Chaoren said with a smile, walking around the huge stone pillar with a diameter of dozens of meters, and slapping it from time to time. Every hit made a crisp sound. Obviously, the position he hit was hollow.

After dozens of minutes, he came from the other side of the stone pillar.

He formed seals with his hands, engraved runes on the surface of the stone pillar, and then said to everyone: "Back off."

Although Luo Chaoren did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that his action just now was to open Tao Qiuming's former residence.

Everyone immediately backed off, and saw the runes on the front of the stone pillar light up, and then, all the places where Luo Chaoren had just tapped were flashing with light.

The light became brighter and brighter, releasing strands of light, connecting with each other.

A loud rumbling sound was heard, and the entire underground world was shaking violently.

The shining stone pillar was divided into two parts, upper and lower, with the circle of light as the boundary, revealing a crack.

The crack continued to expand, expanding in two different directions, upward and downward.

Soon, the crack became as high as a person, and the expansion stopped.

In the crack of the stone pillar, although the light was dazzling, it was still clear that it was hollow, and there was a staircase, spiraling towards the top of the stone pillar.

"Go in."

Luo Chaoren took the lead and whooshed into the interior of the stone pillar from the crack.

Chen Yang and the others did not fall behind and entered the center of the stone pillar.

At this time, the stone pillar, which was originally split into two parts, made a loud rumbling sound, closed together, and finally connected together.

The underground world returned to peace.

...

Inside the stone pillar.

After the spiral staircase went up a hundred meters, Chen Yang and the others entered a vast space, which was a hundred meters wide, corresponding to the expanded part of the middle of the stone pillar seen from the outside world.

In this space, furniture made of stone was placed, connected to the inside of the stone pillar.

"Let's check here first."

As the captain, Li Xu gave an order and everyone took action.

The purpose of Chen Yang's trip was to investigate things related to "illusion", so he also took action and searched carefully, hoping to find clues.

Everyone turned the entire space upside down, and in the end, except for the three words "Tao Qiuming" found on the side of a stone bench, there was nothing else.

Tao Lexuan frowned and said, "This is obviously the residence of the master. Could it be that he left nothing behind?"

"It shouldn't be." Luo Chaoren shook his head and pondered, "Logically, the map I got is the original one, which means that no one has been here before. The master wrote on the back of the map that he left a treasure, so there must be a treasure."

The taciturn Su Nan said, "Then where is the treasure?"

Luo Chaoren looked thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This place is different from what is described on the map. We should continue searching."

Chen Yang interrupted, "Brother Luo, the reason you summoned the other four people should be to work together to crack a certain formation, right? But there is no formation here, could it be that we have gone to the wrong place?"

"Absolutely not, it's this stone pillar." Luo Chaoren said firmly.

Li Xu looked displeased and said, "Junior Brother Luo, you are not teasing us, are you?"

Luo Chaoren admired Li Xu in his heart. Although he was dissatisfied with her accusation, he still patiently explained, "Senior Sister Li, how could I tease you? This is the map I got."

Li Xu said, "Only you have seen the original map, it is hard for us to believe it."

Su Nan also said, "Senior Sister Li is right."

Tao Lexuan said: "Brother Luo, we are already here, you can take out the map and show it to us. Anyway, after we find the treasure, we have already discussed how to distribute it, and no one will fight for it."

Luo Chaoren looked hesitant, and seemed reluctant to hand over the map.

Li Xu and others were dissatisfied and about to explode. Yang Ming came out to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, Brother Luo, hand over the map for everyone to see. If there is any gain later, I am willing to suffer a little loss and give you half of the treasure I got."

"I don't want your things."

Luo Chaoren frowned, but finally took out the map and handed it to Li Xu, saying: "Sister Li, take a look."

Li Xu took the map, put it on the stone table in front of everyone, and unfolded it for everyone to see together.

Everyone looked at the front and confirmed that there was no problem with the route.

Then, everyone looked at the back. Except for the method of breaking the formation that Luo Chaoren had not mentioned before, the other information was consistent with what Luo Chaoren said.

For a moment, everyone looked unhappy, not knowing where the problem was.

Li Xu looked unwilling and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that someone really arrived here before us and took the things away?"

Although the other people were unwilling to admit it in their hearts, they all agreed with this statement.

At this time, Chen Yang said: "The treasure should not have been taken away, but we went to the wrong place."
