He quickly stood up, his muscles tense, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, scanning his surroundings warily, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
In the center of that light, a figure gradually became clear.
The newcomer was none other than the second disciple of the supervisor, dressed in a long black robe that fluttered in the wind.
Embroidered with mysterious runes, they shimmered faintly in the light, exuding an air of mystery.
The second disciple bowed to Wei Changxuan with elegant and composed movements, speaking neither servile nor arrogant:
"Young Master Wei, I have come to deliver a very important message to you on my master's orders."
Wei Changxuan was immediately filled with doubt, but he remained outwardly calm, simply returning the greeting with a slight bow.
He asked in a calm tone, "What are your instructions, Senior Supervisor?"
The second disciple's expression was solemn, a hint of worry in his eyes. He stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying:
"Master calculated that the severed arm sealed in the Pagoda contained a dragon's aura, which, for some reason, attached itself to the Pagoda."
This dragon energy is no ordinary substance; it is one of the nine types of dragon energy, concerning the fate of the world, and is extremely important.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan felt a sudden jolt of unease, and he quickly pressed for an answer:
"What is the purpose of this dragon energy? Why is it attached to the severed arm inside the pagoda?"
The second disciple shook his head helplessly, a wry smile appearing on his face, and said:
"The master did not explain the specific reasons. He only repeatedly told Young Master Wei to be careful."
This dragon energy is of paramount importance. If it falls into the hands of someone with malicious intent, the world will surely descend into chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wei Changxuan nodded, his expression serious, and said solemnly, "I understand. Thank you for informing me, Senior Supervisor and Second Senior Brother."
The second disciple gave a few more detailed instructions, such as to be cautious in his actions and not to trust others easily, before using his magic to transform into a stream of light and disappear.
This sudden news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves in Wei Changxuan's heart.
He keenly realized that the seriousness of the situation far exceeded his imagination, and the most urgent task was to gather everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
Not long after, Mu Nanzhi, Janet, Jiang Fang, Yan Lingji, Jing Ni, and others arrived.
They all came to Wei Changxuan's room.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied; Mu Nanzhi looked concerned, while Janet was full of curiosity.
Jiang Fangze had a solemn expression, Yan Lingji's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, and Jing Ni remained expressionless, but her eyes also held a hint of inquiry.
Wei Changxuan, with a solemn expression, relayed the message from the second disciple of the supervisor to everyone in detail.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and a tense atmosphere instantly filled the room.
Mu Nanzhi frowned slightly. She stood up, clasped her hands in front of her, and spoke first:
"Young master, since this dragon energy is so important, concerning the safety of the world, shouldn't we head to the Floating Pagoda as soon as possible to safeguard it properly, lest things get complicated?"
Her voice was soft yet firm, conveying a sense of mission for the sake of all living beings, and her eyes were full of worry and concern.
Jiang Fang frowned, looking worried. He paced back and forth and slowly said, "However, we know nothing about the situation of the Floating Pagoda."
It might conceal countless dangerous traps and mechanisms; venturing there rashly could mean certain death, plunging into an abyss of no return.
His words were like a bucket of cold water, adding to everyone's worries and making the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive.
Janet blinked her bright, large eyes, then her gaze suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly:
"Why don't we first inquire about the Pagoda around this town, find out what's going on inside, and then make a decision?"
This ensures both safety and a thorough understanding of the enemy and oneself.
Her tone was somewhat naive, yet it was not without reasonable consideration, and her face was beaming with a confident smile.
Yan Lingji waved her fan, smiled alluringly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She stood up gracefully and said:
"No matter what, we cannot let this dragon energy fall into the hands of bad people. If anyone dares to covet it, we will crush them and show them our power!"
Her voice was clear and melodious, yet full of intimidation, radiating an aura of fearlessness.
Jingni nodded slightly, though she didn't say anything, but the firmness and agreement in her eyes were self-evident.
Wei Changxuan pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces. After weighing the pros and cons, he slowly said:
“Janet is right. Let’s inquire about the Pagoda in this town first.”
Everyone should be extra careful these next few days, keep a low profile, and absolutely avoid revealing their whereabouts.
Everyone nodded in agreement. A scheme revolving around dragon energy and the Floating Pagoda had quietly begun.
Chapter 179 Heading to the Pagoda!
Wei Changxuan stood by the window of the room, his brows furrowed, his gaze passing through the mottled window frame as he looked towards the gloomy horizon in the distance.
The news brought by the second disciple of the supervisor was like a heavy hammer blow to his heart, making him clearly realize that a huge crisis was quietly approaching.
His mind was racing, a whirlwind of possibilities and risks, each one pointing to unknown dangers.
In this rapidly changing situation, he knew that his own strength was far from enough; he needed to gather the wisdom of many.
To jointly face the impending challenge, he decided to gather his companions and discuss countermeasures.
Not long after, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room.
Mu Nanzhi walked in first, her steps light yet somewhat hurried, her eyes full of concern for Wei Changxuan.
Janet followed in, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement, seemingly full of anticipation for the upcoming discussion.
Jiang Fang walked into the room with a solemn expression. He habitually frowned, and every step he took was steady and cautious, as if he was thinking about something important.
Yan Lingji, fanning herself, gracefully entered the room. A resolute look crossed her alluring face, and her every move exuded an aura of fearlessness.
Finally, Jing Ni walked in expressionlessly. Although her expression was calm, the determination in her eyes was undeniable.
After everyone was seated, Wei Changxuan slowly turned around and solemnly told everyone the news that the second disciple of the supervisor had sent.
As he spoke, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy, and a layer of worry hung over everyone's face.
Mu Nanzhi frowned slightly. She stood up, her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her, her voice soft yet firm:
“Young master, since this dragon energy is so important and concerns the safety of all living beings, shouldn’t we go to the Pagoda of Buddha as soon as possible and keep it safe?”
To avoid any unforeseen complications and the possibility of someone with malicious intent getting there first.
Her eyes were filled with a sense of mission for the sake of all living beings, as if she could already see the tragic scene of the world descending into chaos after the dragon's energy fell into the hands of evil people.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fang frowned even more deeply. He stood up and paced back and forth, saying as he walked:
"However, we know nothing about the Pagoda. It may contain countless dangerous traps and hidden powerful forces."
"If we go rashly, we might not only fail to obtain the dragon's energy, but also fall into an abyss of no return."
Asking for flowers
His words were filled with worry, each one a reminder of the danger of the mission.
Janet blinked her bright, large eyes, her pupils darting around, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"How about we inquire about the Pagoda around this town first?"
Talk to some local residents; you might be able to get a clearer picture of the situation from them.
It's not too late to make plans later.
This way, we can ensure our safety and also achieve victory in every battle by knowing ourselves and our enemy.
A confident smile radiated from her face, and she was full of confidence in her proposal.
Yan Lingji waved her fan, smiled alluringly, a resolute glint in her eyes. She stood up, her figure graceful, and said firmly:
"No matter what, we cannot let this dragon energy fall into the hands of bad people."
If anyone dares to covet it, we'll crush them and show them our power!
Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority, as if she were ready to fight any enemy.
Jing Ni nodded slightly. Though she didn't speak, the firmness and agreement in her eyes were self-evident. Her hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of her sword, as if she were ready to draw it at any moment...
Chapter 180 The Women's Determination!
Wei Changxuan pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces as he weighed each person's suggestion.
He knew that Mu Nanzhi's urgency stemmed from a sense of responsibility to the world, and that Jiang Fang's concerns were not entirely unfounded.
Janet's caution and Yan Lingji's decisiveness both have their merits.
After careful consideration, he slowly said, "Janet is right. Let's inquire about the Pagoda in this town first."
Those working for the "610 Office" should be extra careful these days, keep a low profile, and never reveal their whereabouts.
If we attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, our plan may fall apart. Everyone nodded in agreement.
After several days of intense preparation and careful planning in the nameless town, Wei Changxuan and his companions finally decided to head to Leizhou immediately to explore the secrets of the Floating Pagoda.
Before their departure, Wei Changxuan gathered everyone together and said with a solemn expression, "This journey to Leizhou is long and fraught with danger."
The matter of the pagoda is of great importance; it not only concerns the safety of the dragon's energy but may also affect the fate of the world.
We must not let our guard down and must be careful and cautious at every step.
Everyone must look out for each other and work together; only in this way can we be confident of completing this arduous task.
With unwavering determination in their eyes, everyone nodded in response, and a thrilling adventure was about to begin.
Mu Nanzhi nodded slightly, her eyes shining with unwavering determination, like the brilliance of stars.
Her voice was clear and powerful: "Young master, rest assured, I will do my utmost, and we will all work together."
Protect that dragon's aura. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, nothing can shake our resolve.
She clenched her fists, her tone filled with unwavering determination, radiating a resolute resolve to protect the dragon's aura.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fang tightened his grip on the sword at his waist, and the sword moved with him.
It produced a crisp metallic clanging sound.
His expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, or how powerful the enemy may be, I will do my best to deal with them."
As a martial artist, it is my responsibility to protect the safety of everyone and the dragon's energy.
As he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were already prepared to face any challenge, exuding an aura of unwavering determination.
