Chapter 85: The Value of the Golden Book (Second Update)

  Under this strange atmosphere, the four people in the side hall all tacitly did not speak, and were silently waiting.

  Soon, amidst a burst of air-piercing sound, the messenger clad in black robes appeared.

  "How did he get here?" Yi Chi wondered, who had been monitoring the cave entrance on the other side. The mechanical fly he sent out didn't see anyone coming in at all.

  "Could it be that he had already known." After some thought, this was the only possibility.

  Yi Chi then refocused his attention on the situation in the side hall.

  ......

  In the side hall, after the black-robed envoy arrived, all four of Yi Xing shuddered, then quickly knelt down and shouted.

  "Spare the messenger!"

  The envoy knew as soon as he heard it that the task of the four had not been completed.

  Then he furrowed his brow, and a massive oppressive force pressed down on the four of them.

  The four of them collapsed under this immense pressure, utterly spiritless.

  "Spare your life, Your Excellency!"

  "Your Excellency, please forgive me this time!"

  All kinds of pleas and requests filled the air, but as soon as the envoy let out a stern hum, they all quieted down.

  The brothers of the Sword Family were filled with despair, regretting how they had been bewitched and joined this organization in the first place. Now it was too late for regrets, all they could do was wear a desperate expression.

  But Huoyun Master did not give up hope, he knew that Yixing would take out the treasure, so with the added value of the treasure, it should be enough to atone for his own and others' sins. Of course, his confidence was not very sufficient, after all, he could not confirm the true value of the treasure.

  He was waiting for an opportunity to present the treasure when the messenger was less angry, and he thought it would have a much better effect.

  Of course, he himself did not know the value of that treasure and could not confirm whether he could pass this level.

  That black-robed messenger glanced at the four people lying on the ground, his eyes looking at them as if they were four corpses.

  "Can't even handle such a small matter, what's the use of having you in the organization?"

  His gaze swept over the four people, and the four people under his gaze all felt a chill.

  "Tell me, what value do you have left?" The envoy said in an icy tone.

  Four people looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

  "Hmph! Trash." After a cold snort, the messenger finally withdrew his oppressive aura.

  After feeling the immense pressure push away, the four of Yi Xing were finally able to stand up.

  "Mercy!" The four of them cried out in unison.

  "Hmph, your crimes will naturally be decided by our master. Come with me today." The messenger finished speaking and was about to turn around.

  At this time, Yi Xing could no longer wait and hastily stepped out.

  "Huh?" The messenger frowned at Yi Xing.

  Yi Xing was startled by this gaze and felt a sharp sword piercing his eyes, causing him to involuntarily retreat several steps.

  "Envoy." Yi Hang finally spoke up after taking a deep breath.

  "What's going on?" The messenger said with a bit of impatience.

  "I have something to give to the messenger." After saying that, Yi Xing took out a box from his spatial ring.

  He held the box with both hands and walked quickly forward, handing it over to the messenger.

  The envoy hesitantly accepted the box, and he really didn't think that Yi Hang could bring out anything good.

  But he still opened it and read on.

  "What is this?" The messenger looked at the golden book lying quietly in the box with a puzzled expression, and the more he looked, the more he felt a sense of familiarity.

  "It seems like I've seen it somewhere before." After some thought, he couldn't quite recall where he had seen it, so the messenger couldn't help but lift the box a bit higher and examine it more closely.

  And after the messenger took over the box, Yi Xing retreated back and was now staring at the messenger with tension.

  The other three people looked at him in surprise after Yi Xing retreated, and then they all looked at the messenger, who would ultimately decide whether it was useful or not.

  ......

  In a secluded spot outside the side hall, when Yihang took out the box, Yichi, who was hiding here, had an ominous feeling. After the messenger opened the box, Yichi could confirm that Yihang would not be in trouble this time.

  "Damn, in the end he still managed to slip away. But what if that messenger didn't recognize him? Heh heh." Thinking about the scene where the messenger didn't recognize him and brought Yi Xing back, Yi Chi couldn't help but laugh. However, the possibility of that happening was still very low, not for any other reason than because the messenger's serious expression while looking at the book made Yi Chi certain that he should know something about this book, or had seen it somewhere before, only to forget for the time being."

  "You're lucky!" Yi Chi muttered to himself as he looked at Yi Hang from a fly's perspective.

  The envoy gazed at him for a long time before finally letting out an exclamation of surprise under the expectant eyes of Yi Hang and others.

  "Is... is this the Forbidden Tome?" The messenger's eyes widened in excitement as he stared at the golden book inside the box.

  "The Forbidden Book of Illusions has actually become the Forbidden Book of Illusions. How did it end up in Yi Xing's hands?" The messenger muttered to himself excitedly.

  About the information of this book, he also saw it once when he went to the headquarters. There, it was not a place where people at his level could stay, so he only went there once and saw it once, so he didn't recognize it at first glance.

  He also remembered that at that time, he was following his master to deliver a task. His master went inside to deliver the task, and he waited outside. At that time, he inadvertently saw information about the Phantom Forbidden Book.

  That was a wanted list, standing in the great hall of the headquarters. He looked from the first one and saw information about the Phantom Forbidden Book at the third one.

  It is said that this book was originally an item of a super array master on the mainland, at that time, the mainland was full of strong people, and there were hundreds of Dou Shen-level strong people. The real top masters were those half-gods and pseudo-god existences. However, that array master relied on his array skills to dominate the mainland for over a thousand years. It is said that in the end, he even became a god, but this is just hearsay, with no basis in fact.

  And this book, on the wanted list at the headquarters of the organization, is ranked third. If found and presented to the organization, it can directly obtain the status of elder, as well as countless elixirs, high-level martial arts, magic spells, and various divine techniques. It's truly a overnight success.

  And now, it's just this one book that he's holding in his hands, how can he not be excited?

  "Can I become an elder?" He became even more excited as he imagined the scene of presenting this book to the organization.

  Suddenly.

  "Rongka, do you want to betray me?" A stern voice directly echoed in his mind. Rongka, also known as the messenger, originally had an excited mood, but instantly felt a chill.

  "Oh, how could that be? I'm just a bit excited and have no intention of betraying my master." Loka hurriedly defended himself in his mind.

  "That's good, hurry up and bring me back that book?" The stern voice said again.

  Luo Ka was startled and hastily replied.

  Only after he knew that the stern voice would never appear again did Luoka let out a breath, but his back was already drenched in sweat.

  "Wow, the master is still as terrifying as before!" He muttered to himself, then looked at the golden book again and covered the lid of the box. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his thoughts again, and if that happened, the master might not forgive him this time.

  After the idea returned to reality, Luo Ka became majestic again. He was nothing in front of his master, but in front of these few insignificant existences, he was supreme.

  "Not bad, I'll give this thing to the master, and this time, I won't take you back to receive punishment. However, don't let there be a next time!" After a serious scolding, Luo Ka disappeared into thin air once again. His master must be getting anxious by now? He'd better hurry back, not only to curry favor with his master but also to show his loyalty.

  After the messenger left, the three Yi Xing were still in a state of shock and hadn't recovered from their narrow escape. They had no idea what kind of existence they had just sent away.

  Ignorance can sometimes be a blessing! Look, Yi Xing is now not sad at all for his own loss, he's only happy that he managed to escape unscathed.

  However, the final result is still unknown.

  "Are we really okay now?" Jianbei asked disbelievingly, and Jinnan was also smiling happily with a wide grin.

  "Hehe, it's great to be alive!" Huo Yun Master smiled as he looked at the two excited brothers, also feeling a wave of joy.

  "Yes. It's great to be alive." Although I lost something valuable this time, at least my life is safe, which is already the best result.

  "That thing is useless even if I use it, it's completely useless to me now. If I can exchange it for a life, that would be the best." With this thought, Yi Xing's heart also relaxed.

  The four of them didn't mention how they narrowly escaped, but on the other side, Yi Chi had a gloomy face.

  He was originally doomed to lose this time, but who would have thought that it would turn around in the end? It's really dramatic enough.

  "Everything is hard to predict!" He sighed, but he didn't gain nothing. At least, he knew that the matter of the Qiu family was indeed easy to handle, so his trip wasn't in vain.

  "At least it's a little gain." With this idea in mind, Yi Chi left first, and there was nothing more to see here.

  Was he supposed to watch four madmen dancing there?

  Yi Chi thought it didn't look good at all.

  ......

  In another distant place, an underground palace was echoing with terrifying laughter. The laughter spread throughout the entire underground palace, causing the people living there to be filled with doubt. However, no one dared to ask the person who made the laughter.
