Chapter 347: Chapter 347

Zhang Xiaohao opened his eyes and, with a tap of his foot, took down the Luminous Pearl from the ceiling and stored it inside the Shennong Ring.

After washing up, he paced back and forth inside the room at One Red Nightclub.

All the food and drinks in the One Red Nightclub had been stored by Zhang Xiaohao inside the Shennong Ring.

He then headed to the main hall.

Guan Qingxue and the others had already prepared breakfast.

"Brother Zhang is here, come sit down and eat!" Guan Binfei called out eagerly.

"Just because there is no fate for you here does not mean others won’t have it for you!" Zhang Xiaohao reminded.

After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Guan Binfei said.

The four of them calmly ate breakfast.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao put down his chopsticks and said, "Let’s go!"

"Okay." Guan Qingxue and the other two nodded and followed behind Zhang Xiaohao, heading towards the moat outside of Beijing.

Members of the Guan Family, from the Refining God Sect, the master from the Dragon and Tiger List Ye Wuming, people from Dragon Soul, and various Loose Cultivators were present.

And of course, those who fish in troubled waters were not absent.

"Damn it! That brat isn’t trying to escape with the treasure, is he?" Guan Feiyang muttered, his face dark with anger.

"Let’s wait and see! It’s still ten minutes to eight o’clock," Ye Wuming said.

"Hmph! If that brat dares to play us, I will make his life a living hell!" Guan Feiyang said viciously.

Those present, upon hearing his words, snorted contemptuously.

If it wasn’t for your darling daughter latching onto a big fish, with your mere capabilities, you probably wouldn’t even qualify to be here.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and it was eight o’clock.

"Bastard! That brat really dares to make fools of us. I’ll tear him to pieces!" Guan Feiyang roared furiously.

Ye Wuming and others frowned, but no one spoke up.

From the distant woods, four small black dots appeared.

"They’re coming! They’re here!" someone shouted excitedly from the crowd.

"Hmph!" Guan Feiyang snorted coldly, no longer daring to make bold threats.

Soon, Zhang Xiaohao and his group had arrived at the moat.

"Brother Zhang, I thought you might not come!" Ye Wuming said with a smile.

"How could I not come when I’ve promised something to Brother Ye!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.

"Now that Brother Zhang is here, please bring out the ninth mysterious iron piece!" Ye Wuming said.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t bother with needless talk and took out the ninth piece of the mysterious iron from his chest.

"Old man, where are your eight pieces?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Hmph!" Guan Feiyang snorted coldly.

He took out the eight pieces of mysterious iron from his chest.

Zhang Xiaohao wasted no time in combining his piece with the eight pieces in Guan Feiyang’s hands.

A flash of blue light and the nine pieces of mysterious iron fused perfectly together.

Looking at it from the outside, it was flawless, without a single imperfection.

A perfect map appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The map clearly marked routes, mountain ranges, and other details.

"This location on the map looks somewhat familiar," Ye Wuming said, frowning.

"Hmm! It seems to be the Taihang Mountain Range," someone from Dragon Soul muttered after pondering for a moment.

"There’s no time to delay; let’s hurry over there!" Ye Wuming said.

"Good!" Everyone responded.

Thereupon, Guan Feiyang was about to put the map away.

"Get lost!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

With a swift kick, he sent Guan Feiyang tumbling to the ground, reached out with his palm, and seized the map.

"Bastard! What do you think you’re doing?" Fei Antong said with a murderous aura.

"Don’t yell at me like that. If you’re not happy, let’s settle it here and now!" Zhang Xiaohao said aggressively.

"Brother Zhang, since everyone is here for the ancient relics, and we’ve roughly pinpointed the location, we should hurry there without delay. We don’t want to risk any unforeseen incidents by waiting too long!" Ye Wuming said.

"Humph! Give me back my map!" Guan Feiyang snorted coldly.

"You are too weak. I don’t trust you with the map," Zhang Xiaohao said with a shrug.

"Enough, Guan Family Master. It doesn’t matter whose hands the map is in, it can’t run away! By the time we open the ancient ruins, the map will be just a piece of scrap iron. Of what use would it be then?" Ye Wuming said.

"Humph!" Guan Feiyang sneered once more, casting a venomous glance at Zhang Xiaohao.

In his heart, he swore fiercely, "Just you wait, you little beast! Once we’re inside the ruins, I’ll make sure you have no grave to be buried in!"

"Alright, let’s go!" Ye Wuming said.

Immediately, the group, with an impressive momentum, followed the location marked on the map toward the Taihang Mountain Range.

The group finally reached the Taihang Mountain Range.

Although they encountered some demon beasts along the way, each member of Zhang Xiaohao’s team was a powerful individual.

They hadn’t even gotten close to the group before they were slain by several Loose Cultivators who rushed to the attack.

"According to the map, the entrance to the ancient ruins should be behind this waterfall," Zhang Xiaohao said, pointing at the huge waterfall in front of them.

"Yes, Brother Zhang is right! According to the map, the entrance to the ancient ruins is indeed behind this waterfall," Ye Wuming confirmed.

"In that case! Who will go and scout it out?" Dragon Soul said indifferently.

"Fat pig! Your group has the most people here. You’ve brought your whole family. Go on, send someone to scout it out!" Zhang Xiaohao barked.

"What did you just call me, you brat? Say it one more time if you dare!" Fei Antong said with a dark face.

"Antong!" Guan Lingshan gently patted his back.

"Humph!" Fei Antong snorted coldly and immediately backed down.

"Li Si, go scout it out! Upon success, I’ll reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill," Guan Lingshan instructed.

"As you command, my lady!" Li Si, an elite disciple of the Refining God Sect, responded respectfully.

Clutching a black spear, he approached the waterfall with full alertness.

He stopped at the riverbank.

"Light Body and Swift Movement Technique!" Li Si snorted coldly.

With a light step, he used the turbulent river surface to agilely make his way toward the waterfall.

As he drew nearer to the waterfall, he took a leap toward the inside.

Suddenly, a miserable cry sounded from behind the waterfall.

Immediately after, a black spear fell into the river.

"Which coward dare harm a disciple of the Refining God Sect? You’re courting death!" Fei Antong roared in anger.

He leaped forth, displaying the Heavenly Frost Fist.

The domineering icy blue fist energy blasted towards the space behind the waterfall.

The waterfall was briefly sealed in ice by the icy blue fist energy, and then it exploded the very next moment.

A massive water jet shot out from behind the waterfall, slashing towards Fei Antong.

"Shatter for me!" Fei Antong snorted coldly.

With a casual swipe of his fist, he shattered the incoming water jet.

However, he was forced to retreat three steps from the impact of the immense force.

Scrape, scrape, scrape...

Deep footprints were left on the ground.
