Capítulo 933: Chapter 934: Kyoto Treasure Vault
To the east of the Capital City, there is an unremarkable mountain peak, with lush forests shading ancient buildings with red walls and glazed tiles.
High walls are built at the foot of the entire mountain peak, with only one road for entry and exit, and the iron gates are tightly closed.
At this sole entrance, soldiers equipped with weapons can be seen standing guard.
The entire mountain peak is eerily silent; although the mountain is lush with trees, not a single bird can be seen, and not even a bird’s song can be heard.
A strong and majestic aura pervades the whole mountain peak, causing birds and beasts to avoid it.
This unremarkable mountain is the important site of Kyoto — the Kyoto Treasure Vault.
In the lush mountains, there lies a palace courtyard covering several thousand square meters.
The glazed roof tiles and red palace walls have four gates in the east, west, north, and south, with a spacious courtyard paved with bluestone, and a majestic main hall stands at the center.
On the plaque above the grand entrance to this palace’s main hall, characters boldly inscribed in ink, vigorous and powerful, read: “Kyoto Treasure Vault”.
At this moment, atop the tall and lush trees outside the walls of the Kyoto Treasure Vault palace, stand five old men with hair as white as snow, dressed in simple clothes yet exuding extraordinary auras, akin to celestial beings.
One of these five elders is Wu Boqing.
Indeed, they are all the Martial Saints guarding the Kyoto Treasure Vault.
Besides collecting national treasures, the Kyoto Treasure Vault also houses the nation’s divine artifacts.
The legendary War God Blade is stored in the Kyoto Treasure Vault.
Although the War God Blade is one of the ten treasures of the martial world and a mighty tool, it is under national control and guarded by the Martial Saints; even if the people in the martial world covet it, they dare not target the Kyoto Treasure Vault.
This is also the reason why the mountain peak where the Kyoto Treasure Vault is located is so eerily silent; ordinary people simply do not dare to approach.
However, just a short while ago, three individuals intruded into the mountain peak, a place considered forbidden land by martial artists.
Even though these three did not enter the main hall, they were repelled by the five Martial Saints within the courtyard, yet they still greatly shocked the five Martial Saints.
Wu Boqing stood atop a tree several dozen meters high, watching the three fleeing figures in the distance, appearing as three black dots.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said to the four Martial Saints by his side: “Who would have thought that just as our people found their hideout, they would come for the Kyoto Treasure Vault. If Young Master Lin hadn’t warned me three days ago, and we hadn’t been prepared, we would have almost been caught off guard by these three.”
Indeed, the three who just broke into the courtyard of the Kyoto Treasure Vault were the Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, Ala Martial Saint, and the Silver Bracelet Martial Saint.
However, their attempt to steal the War God Blade from the Kyoto Treasure Vault was thwarted by the prepared Martial Saints, including Wu Boqing.
“Boqing, this Young Master Lin is truly prophetic, to know that Celestial Wolf Martial Saint and his cohort would come for the War God Blade.” At this moment, another Martial Saint, also clad in a training suit with white hair and a piercing gaze, praised Lin Fei.
Over the past few days, the Martial Saints have listened to Wu Boqing recount many stories about Lin Fei’s deep and unfathomable skills, making them all eager to meet Lin Fei and already regard him as a genius master.
Although among them, some are more skilled than Wu Boqing, the fact that Lin Fei, a young man not yet twenty, could best Wu Boqing, a seasoned Martial Saint, demonstrates Lin Fei’s prowess.
Thus, these old warriors, who seldom found someone who could impress them, naturally developed admiration for the unseen Lin Fei.
The three Celestial Wolf Martial Saints fled, and the five Martial Saints did not rush to pursue them.
“After their escape, they’ll surely return to their hideout known to us. I’ve already informed my cousin, and he, along with Young Master Lin, is waiting at their hideout to catch them off guard,” Wu Boqing said with a smile.
——-
Nightfall, halfway up the mountain villa estate.
Under the dim lights, figures clad in dark clothes can be seen patrolling the courtyard, known as “Northwest Desert Masters”.
These “Northwest Desert Masters” are naturally not the subordinates of the Celestial Wolf Martial Saint.
All the Northwest Desert Masters had been swiftly relocated by Lin Fei and Wu Weiweng, assisted by Leng Ying, Qian Songyixue, and Qin Yunyue.
The members of the Deng family, as well as the original owners of this mountainside villa estate, had also been moved to the base.
At this moment, under the cover of night, three figures drifted into the villa courtyard like flying bats.
These three who flew into the courtyard were none other than the Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, Ala Martial Saint, and the Silver Bracelet Martial Saint.
All three were disheveled, with pale faces and blood at the corners of their mouths, appearing as if they had all sustained some injuries, looking quite battered.
“Master, you have returned.” The “Northwest Desert Masters” in dark clothes in the courtyard all lowered their heads and spoke respectfully.
The Celestial Wolf Martial Saint did not carefully inspect these “subordinates” and just coldly acknowledged before heading to the main building of the villa.
“Wait.” Just as the three were about to reach the entrance of the villa’s main building, the Celestial Wolf Martial Saint suddenly alerted them.
The two stopped in their tracks, and Ala Martial Saint looked at Celestial Wolf Martial Saint and asked, “Celestial Wolf, what’s wrong?”
The Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, with sharp eyes, said, “Something’s off! Look at the surrounding walls, window glass, and trees.”
When Ala Martial Saint heard this, he looked around carefully, noticing some walls of the villa cracked and dented, some windows broken, and trees snapped.
All these indicated that a fight had occurred here.
“We withdraw,” Ala Martial Saint frowned and decisively said to Celestial Wolf Martial Saint and Silver Bracelet Martial Saint.
Footsteps echoed as the dark-clad masters in the courtyard surrounded them.
Only then did Celestial Wolf Martial Saint realize these dark-clad masters were not his men.
He had not noticed it earlier because he and Ala Martial Saint, having suffered a setback at the Kyoto Treasure Vault, were in a foul mood and overlooked the authenticity of these people. Furthermore, the dim lights under the night camouflaged them.
“Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, Ala Martial Saint, you have finally returned!” At this moment, Lin Fei’s calm voice emerged from the villa.
Then, Lin Fei and Wu Weiweng walked out of the villa with heads held high.
Seeing Lin Fei, Ala Martial Saint’s eyes flared with anger, and he said through gritted teeth, “It’s you again, boy!”
Lin Fei said, “Ala Martial Saint, as an individual from Yun Meng Kingdom causing chaos and harming innocents in Huaxia, I advise you to surrender. Our Huaxia’s law may show leniency; if you resist, there is only one path—death.”
Upon hearing these words, Ala Martial Saint’s fists clenched in anger, his knuckles cracking. As a Yun Meng Martial Saint, when had Ala Martial Saint ever surrendered?
“Enough bullying, I’d rather die than surrender!” Ala Martial Saint said through gritted teeth.
“Elder brother, let us join forces and kill this boy to avenge you,” Silver Bracelet Martial Saint said with murderous intent in his eyes, speaking fiercely to Ala Martial Saint.
