Chapter 60


    After Yang Yue’s confession that night, she never appeared in front of Zi Moyan again. Even if they happened to encounter each other, Yang Yue would hurriedly walk away and hide.


    Actually, he didn’t mind this behavior very much. After all, it is impossible for them to be together, so it is better for her to let go of her feelings.


    “Master.” A ck shadow shed by. ck Eagle appeared in Zi Moyan’s room, interrupting his train of thoughts.


    Zi Moyan exited his pondering state, his face once again bing cold and ruthless. He knew that if ck Eagle was able to appear here now, then the a.s.signed task must be close topletion, or alreadypleted With ck Eagle’s proud personality, he would onlye if it was so.


    “The arranged tasks have all beenpleted?”


    “Yes.” ck Eagle said in a low voice. “I have already found the ce you wanted to find.”


    In his heart, he was secretly d. Although he had found the ce, he had almost lost his life. However, the emperor had employed new people, allowing him to find the ce, thankfully not causing him to let down the expectations of his master!


    “Take me there right now.”


    “Yes!” ck Eagle was very excited, since he didn’t miss the hint of approval that shed through his master’s eyes. To be able to receive his master’s appreciation, even if it was just a nce, was good enough!


    With ck Eagle leading the way, Zi Moyan arrived at the designated ce. Plum blossoms lined the pathway, with petals dancing in the wind. It was like a painting, its beauty unlike the human world. Clearly, it was part of the rest of the terrain, yet it waspletely unaffected by the flood, as if it was isted from the world.


    Zi Moyan looked upon the incredible beauty of nature before him, and even his icy heart couldn’t help but warm up a little, his mood improving by quite a bit. He sighed, it seems like the source of the plum blossoms was this.


    The two people walked to the end, and a cave appeared in their sights. Fog was billowing out of the cave, rolling along the surface of the ground. It looked like a fairnd.


    “Master, is this the ce you wanted to find?”


    “En, correct.” Zi Moyan nodded his head. It seemed like the ce in the painting really did exist. The painting was copied off of Wo Buren’s. When he was in the capital city, he discovered that Wo Buren had been sending people to go find the ce that the painting was modeled after. After he sent his own subordinates to investigate, he found that there was a mystical artifact located in Yanyang City. There were quite a few forces seeking the artifact. It is said that there was an artifact located in the Long Lin Empire too, allowing them to directly im and use it.


    He, as a modern twenty first century man, didn’t believe in ghosts and the supernatural; however, he also won’t let Wo Buren reach his intended goals!


    He had to find the ce first, to learn what exactly Wo Buren was trying to achieve!


    “Go in then.”


    “Yes.”


    The two people neared the cave. In an instant, a white light shed by, and countless arrows were shot at the two from inside the cave.


    ck Eagle was shocked, and hurriedly, moved Zi Moyan behind him: “Master, be careful!”


    ck Eagle pulled out his sword and did his best to block the iing feather arrows. However, since there was just too many arrows, and the speed at which they were being shot was also increasing, he ended up getting hit by one and cked out.


    “ck Eagle!” He lowered his body and performed a check up. It turned out that each of the feathers was coated with a strong anesthetic. It looks like ck Eagle had only fainted, and that there was no danger to his life. After learning about the situation, Zi Moyan let out a sigh of relief.


    He looked coldly at the huge cave. There were numerous entrances, too many to be counted. Each entrance was blocked by locked doors, with small holes peppered throughout. The arrows had been shot through those holes!


    Zi Moyan never thought that there would be such an impressive mechanism in the cave. Looking at it, it seems like the mechanism had beenid out for a long time already. He and ck Eagle had trespa.s.sed these grounds, causing the mechanism to activate.
