Chapter 468 Mysterious Heavenly Treasure

Upon seeing this, Situ E and the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect also fled.

Lin Han wanted to give chase, but suddenly his legs went weak and he knelt down.

The Nine Revolutions Return to One technique was too taxing, and his internal energy was completely depleted.

The flame pattern on his forehead also faded quickly, leaving only a faint red mark.

Granny Yao led the villagers to gather around, their faces filled with awe: "Sect Master's divine might! The revival of the Xuan Tian Sect is in sight!"

Lin Han shook his head and raised his twin swords: "These swords saved us. When they're together, they seem to reveal a map..."

"The Mysterious Heavenly Treasury!" Granny Yao exclaimed excitedly. "Legend has it that there's a secret treasury within the sect, containing the supreme martial arts techniques and divine weapons left behind by the founding patriarch. Who would have thought the secret would be hidden within the sect leader's twin swords!"

Liu Wushuang pondered, "Yu Canghai's eagerness to obtain it is probably not just for the martial arts..."

"We must investigate the hidden treasure." Lin Han forced himself to stand up. "If there's anything there that could harm the martial arts world, we absolutely cannot let it fall into Yu Canghai's hands."

Granny Yao shook her head: "Sect Master's true energy is exhausted; he needs at least three days to recuperate. Moreover, the location of the secret treasure is extremely dangerous; going there without adequate preparation would be fraught with peril."

Lin Han knew she had a point, but he still felt uneasy: "Yu Canghai said the entire martial arts world would hunt me down..."

“He’s bluffing,” Liu Wushuang analyzed. “The Qingcheng Sect has suffered heavy losses this time and is unable to fight again in the short term. We should take this opportunity to recuperate and study the maps on the twin swords.”

Just then, Amu suddenly came rushing in from outside the village, carrying an unconscious Qingcheng Sect disciple: "Sect Leader! We've caught a spy! He was sneaking around outside the village, spying on us, and we've taken him down!"

Just as Lin Han was about to speak, the "unconscious" disciple suddenly opened his eyes and shot a dart from his sleeve, aiming straight for Lin Han's throat!

With quick reflexes, Liu Wushuang swung her slender sword, and the dart fell to the ground with a thud.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the disciple broke free, but instead of fleeing, he knelt on one knee: "Zhao San, a spy for the Xuantian Sect, pays respects to the Sect Master!"

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Han asked warily, "Are you from the Xuantian Sect? Why did you attack me?"

"It wasn't an attack, but a test." Zhao San took out a bronze token from his robes, identical to the sect leader's token Liu Wushuang had given Lin Han, only smaller. "I've infiltrated the Qingcheng Sect for ten years, and today I finally get to see the sect leader's true face."

“You…” Liu Wushuang seemed to recognize him, “You’re the ‘Shadow’ responsible for monitoring Yu Canghai?”

Zhao San nodded: "Indeed. Miss Liu, your father was kind to me when he was alive. To see the daughter of an old friend today, I can die without regret."

He turned to Lin Han, lowering his voice, "Sect Master, Yu Canghai's search for the Xuan Tian Seal is related to the 'Netherworld Sect'!"

"The Netherworld Cult?" Lin Han had never heard of this name before.

Granny Yao gasped, "A cult that was wiped out a hundred years ago by a joint effort of various martial arts sects? Weren't they extinct?"

"It's resurrected," Zhao San said urgently. "Yu Canghai is secretly colluding with the remnants of the Netherworld Sect, attempting to use the power of the Xuan Tian Seal to open the 'Gate of the Nine Netherworlds.' I don't know the specifics of the plan, but this matter involves a wide range of people; they may even have people within Shaolin and Wudang!"

Lin Han and Liu Wushuang exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The matter is far more complicated than imagined; it is no longer just a personal grudge, but a major issue concerning the safety of the entire martial arts world.

"What else do you know?" Lin Han pressed.

Just as Zhao San was about to speak, his body suddenly stiffened, and black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Wushuang rushed to check, but it was too late: "He's been poisoned! It's...it's the Qingcheng Sect's 'Soul-Severing Powder'!"

Zhao San grabbed Lin Han's hand and, with his last breath, said, "Be careful... there's a traitor... the Xuan Tian Seal is..." Before he could finish speaking, he died.

Lin Han gently closed his eyes, his heart heavy.

Another brave warrior sacrificed himself for the Xuantian Sect, without even having the chance to leave his full name.

"Give him a proper burial." Lin Han stood up, his body weak, but his eyes were different. "At the same time, strengthen defenses and treat the wounded. Three days later, we will set off to search for the Xuan Tian Secret Treasure."

"The sect leader is wise!" Granny Yao led everyone in bowing.

Standing beside Lin Han, Liu Wushuang asked softly, "Are you really ready?"

Lin Han looked at the two swords in his hands, the patterns on their blades gleaming slightly in the sunlight: "Whether I'm prepared or not, this is my responsibility."

He turned to Liu Wushuang, his eyes filled with determination, "But I won't force you to come along; this path is too dangerous..."

Liu Wushuang reached out and pressed her hand to his lips, stopping him from continuing: "To live and die together, remember?"

Their eyes met in mid-air, needing no further words.

As the sun set, it cast long shadows of them, intertwining them like two swords finally joined together.

Three days later at dawn, Lin Han and Liu Wushuang quietly left the fishing village.

According to the map displayed by the combined swords, the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure is located on the "Ghost's Sorrow" cliff a hundred miles away, and one must first cross a primeval forest known as the "Soul-Severing Forest".

"Did you bring the 'malaria-avoiding pills' that Granny Yao gave you?" Liu Wushuang checked her luggage. In the morning light, her profile was much softer, no longer as cold and stern as when they first met.

Lin Han patted the leather pouch at his waist: "I brought it. There's also 'Qingling Powder' and 'Hundred Herbs Pill,' enough for us for a month."

He paused, then said, "Are you really determined to come with me? The journey is fraught with danger..."

Liu Wushuang tightened her sword belt, not even raising her head: "You've asked the same question eight times."

She suddenly reached out and pinched Lin Han's cheek, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy. "Ask me one more time, and I'll tie you up and throw you back into the medicine hut."

Lin Han's ears burned, and she quickly changed the subject: "Why hasn't Amu come to see us off yet? He promised to bring us some dry rations."

"They probably overslept." Liu Wushuang looked towards the village entrance. "Let's not wait any longer. While it's still early, we..."

Before the words were finished, Amu came running up, panting, carrying a bundle in his arms: "Sect Master! Miss Liu! I'm so sorry I'm late!"

He handed over the bundle, saying, "This contains freshly baked flatbread and cured meat; enough to last three days."

Lin Han took the bundle, finding it heavy in his hands: "Thank you for your hard work. How's the situation in the village?"

"Everything is fine." Amu wiped the sweat from his brow. "Grandma Yao led everyone to strengthen the defenses and also sent scouts to monitor the Qingcheng Sect's movements."

He lowered his voice, "Sect Master, are you really going to search for the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure?"

Lin Han nodded: "We must find it before Yu Canghai does."

Amu hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Then I'll escort you there; I know the mountain path ahead well."

The three walked along the mountain path, the morning mist flowing through the forest like an invisible river.

Lin Han noticed that Amu was unusually quiet today, looking around frequently as if searching for something.
