78 The Demon That Was Sealed Within (1/2)
In a dark place, an unknown location that was quite hidden from the Tyy Empire.
Inside a dark and ominous cave, where the darkness lurked, like it was its home. With its stone walls that has carved something in it was extremely ancient, the defeaning silence that constantly ringing one's ears that made them uncomfortable.
There were two person, consisting of an old man probably in his 70's and a warrior with an iron-plate armor behind him. This old man was holding a book with incomplete pages. He was turning the pages back and forth as if he was finding something.
One of the warriors said, ”Master, are you.. serious of taking the treasure here?”
The master answered while still flipping the pages, ”Of course. That treasure should belong to my sect. That's why we are here to find it.”
”But..” The warrior hesitated for a moment, ”The records of our sect was never touch this cave or treasure. In fact, I thought the progenitors of various sects from the ancient time had sealed this cave. But.. how come we managed to enter?”
The master looked at him, ”Although it really said not to touch anything, there was still no valid proof it. Come on, it happened way back in ancient time where the progenitors had just started their own sects. Estimating a hundred thousand to million years had passed. Whether the demon whatever it is, I don't believe it was still alive. What I want is the treasure left here.”
”But.. no one dared to enter here..” The warrior said in a nervous tone. He was really getting an ominous feeling this time. This made his heart skipped a beat several times.
”Then be happy because we are the first one.” The master chuckled, ”Don't worry, as long as we get the treasure, I won't mind giving you 30% of it. How about it?”
The warrior's eyes suddenly lit up and said, ”Then.. I will leave it to Master.”
After several minutes of walking, they already almost reached the end of this cave.
”Did not expect that this cave was so long.” The master caught his breath first. He was already old, that even walking was giving him a toll already.
”Master, are you alright?” The warrior asked in a worried expression.
”Yes yes.” The master waved it off, ”Don't worry about it. Continue walking.”
As they reached the end, a big circular place has met them. The ceiling could not be seen as it was already extremely tall that like it was aiming for the heights of heaven. However, that was not what caught the attention of the duo. It was the dark-glowing item in the middle, floating. This was a crystal, with a dark color and it was giving off a very ominous vibe. Below it were tons of diamond bars and artifacts like it was a sea of treasures.
”Treasures!” Seeing the half of this big circular place covered by the treasures, the master could not help but salivate in greed. He did not mind the ominous crystal above since all his attention was focused to the treasures. If he could manage to get this treasures. won't their sect soar immediately? They might already had the chance to defeat the Blue Haven Sect!
He was about to step forward when a deep voice suddenly rang their ears, ”Uh-oh-uh. Wanting my treasure without my permission?”
”Huh?” The master was startled and so his warrior.
Did they hear it right or they were just hallucinating?
”Is somebody there?” The master asked.
”Of course, there is.” the deep voice talked again, ”Tsk tsk tsk. You wanted my treasures without my permission. Isn't it too disrespectful?”
The voice came from the dark crystal.
Beads of sweat began rolling down the duo's face, the master apologized, ”We apologize for the intrusion. We thought that there is no one here.”
”Oh?” The deep voice was amused, ”Well, you really thought about it. But you know that there is something sealed here except the treasures, am I right?”
This made the duo reveal a paled expression.
The deep voice chuckled and said, ”It seems that it was already hundred of thousands of years ago, huh? And those bastards who sealed me were probably lying in their tombs already. Hahaha!”
