Chapter 119: The Five Families Arrive
As expected by Zhao Ji, the battle between Junzi Sword and Tie Qiang Du Lao became more intense as it went on. Both of them used all their skills, but it was still difficult to determine a clear winner.
Although the iron rake's skill is slightly better, and the iron rake technique is quite skilled, it is not a particularly high-level ultimate skill. In terms of level and hierarchy, it is inferior to the Gentleman Sword, so in a critical situation, it is difficult to gain the upper hand.
Finally, Tie Gong's poisonous old man had used up all his hidden weapons skills, but still hadn't injured Junzi Sword Yue Yunfang. At this point, Zhao Ji was basically certain that in the end, the two would likely end with a draw.
Iron Hook's poisonous old man has a big killer move, which is to use poison. However, his poisonous technique is only half a knife, and when he uses it, he can't guarantee that others won't get hurt.
There were many onlookers, numerous second-rate martial artists and no lack of top-notch ones. If poison was used and it affected a few top-notch martial artists, Iron Hook would not be able to bear the consequences.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a rustling sound suddenly came from the foot of the mountain, and that noise was getting louder and louder, spreading up the mountain.
Noticing the commotion, Zhao was somewhat curious and went over to take a look. He was slightly surprised and his expression changed as he whispered: "They've actually arrived too."
"How did so many people come all of a sudden!"
"Not only are there many people, but also many masters, it seems that a major force has been mobilized."
"Mobilizing so many people, it's clear that they want to catch Wu Kuang's treasure all at once. Could it be that the matter of the treasure is really not going to work out?"
"Hmm, I recognize him, the one leading them seems to be the young master of the Sifang Cheng Valley clan. The others also seem extraordinary and are likely not ordinary people, it's highly possible they're from the five major families of Sifang Cheng as well."
"What? The four-square city's five major families have joined forces and are taking action!"
……
The four-square city's five major families are the most prominent families within a hundred miles, with not only formidable strength but also vast influence, and it's no exaggeration to call them local emperors.
Within the jurisdiction of Sifang City, there were no other forces that dared to challenge the five major families, let alone a lone martial artist, unless they had reached the Xiantian realm.
The five big families came together, showing how much they valued the Wu Kuang treasure. This gave everyone present confidence that there must be a Wu Kuang treasure here.
After more than a dozen days of searching, not a single clue had been found, and the fervent emotions of those who thought they could get rich by relying on Wu Kuang's treasure had already subsided somewhat. At this time, they surged up again.
All five big families have people coming, and the people who come are still very familiar to Zhao Ji. As expected, the Gu family is Gu Wantao, the Guan family is Guan Feng, the Lu family is Lu Yu, and the Lü family is Lü Yuan, all four being the Four Great Young Masters of Fang City.
Of course, as heirs of the family, the four people's identities are not ordinary, and they will definitely not come alone. Each of them brought a large group of people.
It was the Luo family, neither Luo Chongshan nor Luo Qiushui came, not even Luo Fu came, only Luo Qingyun represented them, and the people they brought were no match for the other four families, their strength was the weakest among the five families.
The arrival of the five families immediately changed the balance of power here, and many warriors looked at the five families with a mixture of fear and hidden hostility.
Previously, thousands of martial artists were like scattered sand, even if they had accomplices, the team came with at most a dozen or so people, how could it be like the five major families, each with hundreds of people.
A group of scattered warriors, unknowingly drew closer together, forming a gang and quietly opposing the people of the five major families.
The people of the five major families have arrived, Zhao Ji did not go up to greet them. The most familiar Luo Zhongshan and Luo Qiushui are not here. He is not very familiar with Luo Qingyun either. Moreover, the other four families have also come, he dislikes Lu Yu the most, so naturally he will not pay attention to them.
When the five big families arrived, the fierce battle between Junzi Jianyue Qunfang and Tie Cuo Duolao Duan Yanming ended without a result. The gambler also returned all the bets to everyone.
The five big families' people came and occupied the best area on the mountain, driving away the original inhabitants. Then, Gu Wan Dao, Guan Feng, Lu Yu, Lü Yuan and Luo Qing Yun each took out a treasure map and compared them with each other.
They were similar in appearance there, actually, the other four families' treasure maps were basically copies of the Luo family's, except for some special changes, they should be identical.
"It seems that the treasure is about to be revealed."
Seeing the actions of the Four Great Young Masters and Luo Qingyun, Zhao Ji muttered to himself in his heart.
When ri, Wu Kuang Huo's treasure map of a thousand sails, Zhao Ji had taken a look at it before, but the specific location of the treasure should be in the middle of the ocean, only, where exactly, he couldn't remember.
As for Wu Kuang's treasure, Zhao Ji was originally not very interested in it. If he had taken a closer look at the time, he would have found the specific location of the hidden treasure long ago.
As expected, the Four Great Young Masters and Luo Qingyun studied the treasure map again and seemed to have made a discovery. A large group of people got up with a whoosh and arrived at the seaside location on the cliff.
Here is the translation:
This mountain ridge, the highest point of a vast barren land, one step forward, and it's the endless ocean. The salty, fishy air rushes towards me.
"Looking at the treasure map, the treasure should be in a place close to the sea. However, it's unlikely to be at the bottom of the sea, so I think it should be at the edge of the seaside."
Looking at the waves rising and falling on the sea surface, Gu Wan Dao's eyebrows slightly furrowed, his face with a thoughtful expression, analyzing in detail: "Wu Kuang Huo Qian Fan's strength is astonishing, he doesn't act according to common logic, the treasure he hid, the location should also be somewhat unusual, I'm afraid it won't be directly dug and buried."
"This isn't it, that isn't it either, so tell me, where is the treasure hidden?"
Everyone listened carefully to Kuang Wudao's analysis, except for Lu Yu, who had an expressionless face and a hint of impatience, urging him to continue.
"What's your hurry? Listen to Brother Gu slowly, if you're not capable then don't interrupt."
He cast a sideways glance at Lu Yu and said irritably.
"I'm not capable, are you? If you're so capable, then tell me where the treasure is hidden. I'll admire you if you can say it out loud. If you don't know, then just shut up."
Lu Yu gave Guan Feng a fierce stare and said in a deep voice.
"You..."
Guan Feng was about to retort when Lü Yu interrupted him, saying in a deep voice, "Can you two stop arguing? If there's any grudge between you, settle it later. Our top priority now is finding the treasure. Please keep quiet and don't disturb Gu Wan Dao's analysis."
"Hmm."
"Hmm."
Knowing that Lü Yuan was right, Guan Feng and Lu Yu stopped arguing, glared at each other for a moment, snorted coldly, and then fell silent.
Guan Feng and Lu Yu were arguing, while Gu Wan Dao watched from the sidelines. It wasn't until Lü Yuan spoke up that they quieted down, and he continued, "I think the treasure is hidden on the mountain wall."
