Chapter 376: Chapter 246

Inside the library’s Secret Realm.

After a lively yet cautious discussion, everyone confirmed the specific details of the cooperation plan after taking their vows.

The mysterious figure smiled, raising both hands, signaling for silence:

"The Golden Benba Bottle is a Buddhist Holy Object passed down through the ages, extraordinarily precious and rarely seen in the world. To obtain it, not only must one have strong capabilities, but also an element of luck beyond our control is indispensable."

"Here, I wish you all continuous good fortune, and of course, may I also succeed swiftly!"

His voice was rich and gentle, imbued with a sense of boldness and carefree spirit.

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

The laughter quickly dispelled the previous tension and heaviness, making the atmosphere a bit more relaxed.

"Now, everyone, head back and prepare. At midnight, we meet outside the manor to proceed according to plan."

The mysterious figure’s eyes swept around sharply, his voice suddenly becoming serious.

"Remember, success or failure hinges on this; do not miss the appointment."

With that, he waved his hands.

Immediately after, a door emitting white light slowly opened before everyone.

The leaders of the thirteen teams, with hearts filled with mixed emotions, some eager, others pondering deeply, filed out one by one.

Each headed in different directions, preparing for the upcoming battle.

..................

In the mist-shrouded forest, everything was still dark and silent.

Fang Cheng opened his eyes, looking at the unchanged scenery, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Black Wolf, Xiao Bei, and three other companions were sitting nearby, watching him with concerned looks.

"How did things go inside? Was there any conflict?"

Seeing Fang Cheng’s awareness return, Black Wolf was the first to break the silence, eagerly asking the question.

Fang Cheng shook his head, softly replying:

"The cooperation has been agreed upon; all teams have consented to act jointly, so we don’t need to keep waiting."

At this moment, Lord Bao, slightly out of breath, also successfully withdrew from the Spiritual Secret Realm.

After taking a moment to compose himself, he recounted the events and specific details of the cooperation plan inside the Secret Realm.

Upon hearing this, everyone had varied reactions.

Xiao Bei and the three companions widened their eyes in curiosity, occasionally interrupting to ask about specific details.

Black Wolf frowned slightly, seemingly contemplating the potential risks hidden behind the cooperation.

After listening carefully to the content of the plan, he solemnly voiced his opinion:

"The information on the manor’s defenses offered by the mysterious figure indeed matches some of the intelligence we gathered earlier; in this regard, there seems to be no issue."

"It’s just that while the oath Spell can bind all teams to cooperate for a certain period, when it comes to the critical moment of seizing the Golden Benba Bottle, the variables may be significant."

"That’s indeed the case, but reaching this level of agreement is already commendable."

Lord Bao chimed in, saying:

"At least we won’t have to wait any longer. When the time comes, everyone will rely on their abilities; whoever can grab the Golden Benba Bottle will own it."

After pausing, he glanced at Fang Cheng and Black Wolf, adding with emphasis:

"With myself, Black Wolf, and White Ghost brothers joining forces, we’re not necessarily afraid of anyone. We’re stronger than most teams, and the chances of obtaining the Treasure aren’t small."

Black Wolf nodded slightly, a flash of sharp determination in his eyes:

"Since we have decided to participate in the joint action, we must do our utmost to succeed."

Subsequently, they discussed carefully before making a decision.

Xiao Bei and Ah San would follow them into the manor to seize the Treasure.

Ah Da and Ah Er would stay outside to provide support. Once they acquired the Treasure, their job was to facilitate their escape from pursuers.

The two were brothers, though not twins, they looked remarkably alike, even their builds were very similar, often being mistaken for one another.

In critical moments, they would be perfect to confuse their pursuers.

Fang Cheng had no objections to these arrangements.

In his view, while planning is crucial, ultimately strength speaks the loudest.

However, the familiar feeling invoked by the mysterious figure lingered in his mind, refusing to go away,

Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered as he looked towards the manor enshrouded in mist in the distance.

A vague thread of speculation formed in his mind, making his expression more solemn.

There was still time before midnight.

Everyone decided to sit down, organize their weapons and equipment, conserve their energy, and await the official commencement of action.

All around soon fell into quiet; the darkness seemed like a heavy curtain, tightly covering everything, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Only occasionally did a few piercing calls from night owls cut through the deathly silence.

Elsewhere in Mist Mountain, in another hidden corner.

Several towering ancient trees, lush with leaves, their colossal canopies interweaving, formed a natural tent.

Under the trees, five figures sat in a circle.

There were both men and women, their expressions and actions varied.

Some had their eyes lightly closed, immersed in Sitting Meditation, their aura seemingly merging with the mist, voyaging beyond the physical world.

Others kept their eyes wide open, guarding their meditating companions, their gaze full of concern and anticipation.

A common trait among these people was their unremarkable appearance, leaving almost no distinct memory impressions.

At this moment, a man whose age was indiscernible twitched his eyelids, then suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were bright, like cold stars glimmering in the dark night.

Soon after, another young woman and a burly man with a bull-like physique seemed to finish their meditation, slowly opening their eyes.

Their movements instantly drew the attention of the others.
