Chapter 153: The secrets of the treasure light are waiting to be revealed, and the shadow of the ene

Dongfang Liuli took the jade pendant and felt a warm sensation in her hand. A stream of pure spiritual energy flowed through her palm and into her body, invigorating her spirit. She carefully examined the patterns on the jade pendant. They were exquisite and intricate, like the work of a master craftsman, emitting a faint precious light.

"This pattern..." Dongfang Liuli frowned slightly. These patterns looked like decorations, but gave her a sense of déjà vu, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

Lei Yi said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be an ancient rune, recording some powerful spell or secret."

"Ancient runes?" Dongfang Liuli was shocked. The ancient times were too far away from now, and there were very few records about that era. He didn't expect that this small jade pendant contained such an amazing secret.

"Let's leave here first." Lei Yi said, pulling Dongfang Liuli's hand, and the two of them flashed and quickly left the place.

Although the dark domain of the Dark Night Prince was mysterious and unpredictable, its range was limited, and they quickly escaped from the suffocating black fog.

The two found a secluded cave, set up a barrier, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"The runes on this jade pendant are too ancient, and I can't understand them for the time being." Lei Yi looked at the jade pendant in his hand with a frown.

Dongfang Liuli pondered for a moment and suggested, "Perhaps we can ask the Holy Lady Lingxin for advice. She is knowledgeable and may know something."

The Holy Lady Lingxin was a companion they met after entering the ancient city. She was kind-hearted and knowledgeable, especially in the history of ancient times.

Lei Yi nodded and agreed to Dongfang Liuli's proposal.

However, what they didn't know was that Young Master Dark Night had not given up on hunting them.

Behind a sand dune not far from the cave where Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were, Young Master Dark Night was hiding in the shadows, staring viciously in the direction of the cave.

"Damn it! We actually let them escape!" Young Master Dark Night said gritting his teeth, his tone full of unwillingness.

"Sir, calm down," an old man in a gray robe standing behind him said in a hoarse voice, "The jade pendant in that boy's hand is extraordinary. We must get it."

This old man was none other than the master of mechanisms hired by Young Master Dark Night at a huge expense. He was proficient in mechanisms and formations, and his strength was unfathomable.

Young Master Dark Night took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Master, do you have any solution?"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in the Master's eyes. He pointed in the direction of the cave and said, "I've left a tracking mark on them. They can't escape my grasp. Also, I can sense the aura of the jade pendant. It's in that cave."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Dark Night showed a sinister smile on his face: "Alright! Let's go now. I want to see where they can escape to!"

As they spoke, Young Master Dark Night and Master Jiji exchanged a glance, and with a flicker of their bodies, they transformed into two afterimages, darting towards the cave where Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were...

Inside the cave, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were completely unaware of the approaching danger. They were concentrating on studying the jade pendants in their hands, trying to unravel the secrets hidden within. The jade pendants emitted a soft light, illuminating their faces in flickering light.

Outside the cave, night fell, and the mountain wind howled like the roar of a wild beast. Young Master Dark Night, his face livid, stood on a cliff, his eyes fixed sinisterly on the cave below, shrouded in layers of darkness.

"Damn it, who on earth is that kid? How could he evade your tracking mark!" Young Master Dark Night said gritting his teeth, his tone full of unwillingness and anger.

The master of machinery standing beside him, dressed in a gray robe, looked gaunt, but his cloudy, old eyes gleamed with a gleam of brilliance. He shook his head slightly, his voice low, "My tracking marks never fail, unless..."

"Unless what?" Young Master Dark Night asked.

"Unless someone deliberately concealed their whereabouts." The Master of Machinery said solemnly, "Anyone who can do this is definitely not an ordinary person."

Young Master Dark Night's heart trembled. Could it be that there was some powerful force behind this kid? He suppressed his uneasiness and asked in a deep voice, "Have you investigated the situation of the jade pendant?"

The Master of Machinery closed his eyes, as if sensing something. After a moment, he slowly opened them, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "That jade pendant is no ordinary object! I have a faint feeling that it contains an extremely powerful force, even..."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat fearful: "It might even be related to the legendary artifacts of ancient times!"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Dark Night's breathing quickened. A divine artifact! If only we could obtain it... Greed flashed in his eyes, and he asked anxiously, "Then how do we get it?"

The Master of Mechanics pondered for a moment and said, "The runes on the jade pendant are extremely ancient, and I cannot fully comprehend them at this moment. However, I can sense that the jade pendant seems to be hiding some secret. If I can unlock this secret, perhaps I can control it!"

"Secret?" A sinister glint flashed in Young Master Dark Night's eyes. "Looks like we have to force that brat..."

Inside the cave, it was warm as spring. Lei Yi sat cross-legged, holding the radiant jade pendant in his hand, his brow furrowed as he racked his brains for a way to break the spell.

He had tried every possible way to decipher the ancient runes on the jade pendant, but he was still unable to find the answer. These runes were like heavenly books, obscure and difficult to understand, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated.

Dongfang Liuli sat aside, watching him quietly, her beautiful eyes filled with worry. She knew Lei Yi's character. Once he made a decision, he would stick to it to the end, even if the road ahead was full of danger.

"Is there really no other way?" Lei Yi murmured to himself in a low voice, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

He didn't believe that there were unsolvable mysteries in this world!

He took a deep breath and immersed his mind in the jade pendant again, carefully feeling the energy fluctuations contained in it, trying to find a clue from it.

Suddenly, his finger accidentally touched a fine line on the jade pendant, and a powerful force instantly burst out from the jade pendant, knocking him away!

"puff!"

Lei Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed, and quickly flew over to support him. "How are you?"

Lei Yi shook his head, suppressing the surging blood in his body, staring at the jade pendant in his hand, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

"This jade pendant... is indeed not simple!"

Before he finished speaking, the light on the jade pendant suddenly became brighter, and mysterious runes flew out of the jade pendant as if alive, circling and dancing in the air, and finally turned into a beam of light, enveloping Lei Yi completely!

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli stretched out her hand to pull him, but was bounced back by an invisible force. She could only watch him being swallowed by the beam of light, her heart filled with worry and fear.

"What the hell is going on..." In the cave, a shimmering light shone, illuminating Dongfang Liuli's anxious face. She reached out to touch the beam of light, but was deflected by an invisible force, her worry growing even more intense. Lei Yi was trapped, his fate uncertain, leaving her in a state of turmoil.

"Lei Yi, come out quickly!" Dongfang Liuli couldn't help but shout, with a hint of crying in her voice.

However, Lei Yi, trapped within the beam of light, could not hear her call. At that moment, he was completely immersed in a strange space. Countless ancient runes danced before his eyes, as if telling some ancient secret.

He suppressed the surging blood and qi in his body and tried hard to understand the meaning of these runes. He knew that the jade pendant contained enormous power, and if he could not control it, it would sooner or later become a disaster.

Outside the cave, Young Master Dark Night and others were approaching quietly.

"Young Master, look!" One of his men pointed in the direction of the cave and said in a low voice, "That light... could it be that the boy triggered some mechanism?"

A gleam of greed flashed in Young Master Dark Night's eyes, and he sneered, "It seems that we are lucky. This kid actually opened the door to the treasure by himself!"

The Master of Machinery stood aside, a gleam in his cloudy old eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Young Master, don't be careless. That light is extraordinary. We'd better be careful."

Young Master Dark Night waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? We have so many people, how can we be afraid of a little brat like him?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and rushed into the cave with his men.

In the cave, Dongfang Liuli was pacing back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps and his heart suddenly tightened.

"No, they're coming!"

She quickly drew out her sword and stared vigilantly towards the cave entrance.

A moment later, Young Master Dark Night and others appeared in her sight.

"Dongfang Liuli?" Young Master Dark Night saw her, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Why are you here?"

Dongfang Liuli snorted coldly and said, "I should be the one asking you this! Young Master Dark Night, why are you coming here instead of staying in your Dark Night Villa?"

Young Master Dark Night laughed heartily and said, "Let's be frank. I came here for that treasure! If you know what's good for you, just hand it over and I'll spare your life!"

Dongfang Liuli's eyes flashed with anger, and he sneered, "If you want the treasure, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

After saying that, she swung her sword and attacked.

Young Master Dark Night was well prepared. He dodged her attack with a flash of his body. At the same time, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and a fierce gust of wind went straight to Dongfang Liuli's face.

Dongfang Liuli did not dare to delay and quickly swung his sword to resist.

For a moment, the two men fought in a group.

At this time, Lei Yi was still immersed in that strange space.

After some effort, he finally deciphered the meaning of some runes, which seemed to be related to the origin of the ancient city. At this moment, he felt a dangerous aura approaching...

"No, it's too late!" Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice, "Break it for me!"
