Chapter 268: #268 - Retreat

Although these throwing knives haven't been refined, they are still connected to my mind through the Sword Control Art.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to control them at will. Super-Sense and the Sword Control Art assist each other.

The existence of Super-Sense makes the Sword Control Art more precise, and its range far exceeds the range of the Sword Control Art itself. At the same time, the Sword Control Art can also enhance the range of Super-Sense.

Currently, Super-Sense can only cover a radius of five hundred meters, but with the assistance of the Sword Control Art, it can be increased to about eight hundred meters.

Within five hundred to eight hundred meters, every ten-meter range of the throwing knives is covered by Super-Sense. I can see clearly, smell the scent, and hear the sound. The cliff is more than a thousand meters high, and the cave is barely seven hundred meters away from them.

Through the throwing knives, he caught a glimpse of the general situation inside the cave. Suddenly, a black light fell and directly annihilated the throwing knives, severing the connection.

This black light made his heart palpitate. He knew that this was the real source of danger. It was this that had been making him feel alert and uneasy.

Chu Zhiyuan's face turned ugly, and he turned to look at Li Hongzhao. Li Hongzhao asked, "How is it?"

"Not good," Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "There are hidden secrets in this cave, so it's not advisable to get close."

"Is there a mechanism or a deadly poison?"

Whenever Worry-Free Sect is mentioned, poison comes to mind.

How could a man who is a disciple of the Worry-Free Sect not know how to use poison? There must be countless deadly poisons in this cave.

"It's empty inside, with only a black tombstone. This tombstone contains strange power," Chu Zhiyuan said slowly with a grave expression, "This power can kill you and me."

Li Hongzhao tried to understand what Chu Zhiyuan was saying.

After thinking for a while, her beautiful face showed a thoughtful expression: "A power that can kill us, is it the power of a Grandmaster?"

"I estimate that it can also kill a Grandmaster," Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"You can go down and try," Chu Zhiyuan said, "I am determined not to go in."

"...Then we just stop here?" Li Hongzhao stared at him, trying to figure out if he was telling the truth. Was he trying to deceive her in order to take the cave for himself?

Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn. Under the intuition of danger, he directly withdrew Super-Sense. Chu Zhiyuan looked at her, sizing her up, his eyes unrestrained.

Li Hongzhao was looked at by him inexplicably, and she touched her smooth and beautiful face: "What's wrong?"

"If you are not afraid of death, feel free to go and see," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, then turned around and said, "Huang Zhongshi."

"Your Highness," Huang Cheng suddenly appeared in front of him, his purple robe emitting wisps of golden light in the sunlight. Golden threads were embroidered in the purple robe, showing luxury to the fullest.

Chu Zhiyuan transmitted his voice secretly: "Be sure not to get close to that cave. No other Grandmasters are allowed to get close either."

He knew that besides Huang Cheng, there were two other Grandmasters following in the dark.

"Yes," Huang Cheng nodded readily, seeing his expression.

He knew about Chu Zhiyuan's amazing intuition. The palace and the Grandmaster's mansion both knew about it.

This is a talent, an unspeakable but real talent, similar to the perception of a Grandmaster. But his perception is stronger than that of a Grandmaster.

This has also been confirmed.

Since he said so, it's better to believe it. A Grandmaster's cave, not getting close is not getting close. Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Huang Cheng disappeared in a flash.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Su Qiuyan, who suddenly appeared and walked over slowly, and smiled: "Mr. Su, you might as well approach the cave and sense it, but you must not enter the mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Su Qiuyan smiled.

She disappeared in a flash, and then reappeared after a while, shaking her head at Li Hongzhao. Li Hongzhao finally gave up.

She glared at Chu Zhiyuan fiercely: "Alas..., let's go, a wasted effort."

At least he knew the specific source of danger, so he felt relieved. Just as the two were about to leave, they heard the sound of clothes breaking through the wind.

Two light green figures floated along the pine forest.

It was a man and a woman, walking side by side, as light as willow catkins, graceful and moving.

Chu Zhiyuan had already seen the two of them, hiding in the pine forest two hundred meters away, spying on the movement here. They should have arrived a step earlier.

Obviously, they found this place a step earlier.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the two of them showed themselves.

The young man was outstandingly handsome, with delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a gentle temperament. The young woman was beautiful and moving, with an elegant and calm temperament, and a calmness between her brows. The two floated down in front of Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao.

Li Hongzhao looked at the two of them suspiciously, then turned her eyes to the woman, cupped her fists and said, "You two are...?"

The beautiful woman bowed slightly and said softly: "Worry-Free Sect, Song Yichun, greets Ninth Princess and Fourth Prince."

The young man cupped his fists: "Worry-Free Sect, Li Yilong, greets Ninth Princess and Fourth Prince."

"Worry-Free Sect?" Li Hongzhao looked at Song Yichun in surprise: "I didn't expect to actually meet a master of the Worry-Free Sect. What are you two here for...?"

A smile hung on her face, making her even more beautiful and moving, but her heart was full of vigilance, and she dared not be careless.

The poison of the Worry-Free Sect is hard to guard against.

She saw that the two of them were standing downwind, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When standing with Worry-Free Sect disciples, the most important thing is to stand upwind.

Never stand downwind, otherwise you won't know when you were poisoned, being poisoned invisibly. Although there is a poison-repelling pearl, you still have to be careful.

Song Yichun smiled and said: "We are ordered to come and open the cave of our sect's predecessor."

"Which predecessor?"

"The cave of our sect's predecessor, Luo Qingbo."

"So her name is Luo Qingbo, the woman of Lu Yaofeng, the Grandmaster of my Great Meng?"

"...Yes."

"Could it be that your sect knew about this cave beforehand?"

"Yes."

"Impossible, right?" Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "If you really knew, wouldn't you have opened it long ago? Your sect's ability should not be difficult to find, right?"

"...We looked for it before, but couldn't find it, so we stopped looking, thinking that the time was not right. Now the time has finally come."

"This time is us, right?" Li Hongzhao snorted.

"Your Highness wants to take Lu Yaofeng's things, including his inheritance, while what our sect wants to find is everything that Senior Luo has, and there is no conflict."

"Did Luo Qingbo take away some treasure from your Worry-Free Sect?"

"This…"

"Hmm, I understand. She did take away a treasure from your Worry-Free Sect," Li Hongzhao nodded with a smile. This was a trick she learned from Chu Zhiyuan.

Directly ask a very abrupt question, and then judge the answer to the question through the other party's unprepared reaction. She felt that the effect was good, and there was indeed a treasure of the Worry-Free Sect.

"What treasure is it?" She asked curiously.

"Your Highness, please forgive us for not being able to say," Song Yichun shook her head with a smile.

"The cave is below, you can go and take it yourselves, we will never interfere."

"Your Highness, you are not going?"

"We suddenly feel that it is too dangerous inside, there must be strange poisons and mechanisms, so we will not go to our deaths. But you are different, you are Worry-Free Sect disciples, these deadly poisons will not be difficult for you."

Let them go in and explore the way to see what dangers there are. It's okay if Worry-Free Sect disciples die, as long as our own people don't die. Song Yichun and Li Yilong exchanged glances.

Song Yichun smiled and said: "Your Highness thinks that the dangers inside are mechanisms and poison?"

Li Hongzhao smiled and said: "Besides that, what other dangers are there?"

Song Yichun shook her head and smiled softly: "We only know about Senior Luo, we don't know about Senior Lu, so we can't say for sure. If it's just poison, then it's not difficult. As for mechanisms, we can throw some stones or get some rabbits and roe deer to go in and explore."

Li Hongzhao smiled and said: "If you two want to go in, then please do so. We will take our leave first." She glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, seeing that Chu Zhiyuan was calm and unwavering, her intention to retreat became even stronger.
