Chapter 227 Who Took Them Away
"Hurry, we have to get them before anyone else!" a woman in a purple robe said anxiously.
"Let's go! This artifact must be mine."
"Hahahaha! You guys are wishful thinking. These three divine weapons only belong to our sect."
"Then it all depends on your ability!"
"Tsk! We'll see!"
"Hurry up, come with me and grab them. We must grab them before others."
Just like that, people from all over the secret realm moved their bodies and rushed towards the lake like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
There was a gleam of greed in their eyes, as if the three divine weapons were already in their pockets.
Their goal was very clear, which was to grab the three ancient artifacts, the Green Frost Thunder Cloud Fan, the Akagi Soul Whip, and the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear, before anyone else.
And contract them.
However, they ignored Su Chenyin and his group by the lake, as Su Chenyin and his group had already taken the lead.
"Such a loud noise just now was made. Other people in the secret realm will definitely hear it. This time it will definitely attract a lot of people here." Su Chenyin frowned.
"Cousin, Mu Xin, and Rong, you guys should act quickly, get their approval, and then sign the contract. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when they come later."
After Su Chenyin finished speaking, she gave Jun Yijue a look, and Jun Yijue immediately understood what she meant.
He just snapped his fingers lightly, and the concealment array closed instantly, and everyone's figures appeared beside the lake again.
"The concealment formation has been closed, you better hurry up." Jun Yijue glanced at the distance, where countless figures were approaching rapidly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziche, Mu Xin and Yu Rong looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to step out of the hiding formation.
However, at this moment.
The three sacred weapons on the lake suddenly emitted a strong resonance.
Immediately afterwards, a huge pillar of light shot up from the lake, as if it was about to pierce the sky.
In the beam of light, the three divine weapons slowly merged together to form a three-color light ball.
"What is this?" Yu Rong, Lu Ziche and Mu Xin couldn't help but stop and looked at the scene in surprise.
Suddenly, the three-color light ball quickly split and turned into three streams of light.
Three streams of light crossed the lake surface in an incredible speed in an instant and flew directly to the hidden formation where Su Chenyin and others were.
Three streams of light stopped in front of Su Chenyin and others and circled around them several times, as if they were identifying who was qualified to be their owner.
Everyone held their breath and watched the scene intently, afraid that they would miss something in the blink of an eye.
"Is this... the artifact choosing its master?" Mu Xin muttered to himself in surprise.
"That's right, they are choosing masters that match their personality." Su Chenyin smiled and nodded, his eyes fixed on the three divine weapons surrounding them.
Jun Yijue quickly formed seals with his hands, and the concealment formation was instantly activated. The figures of everyone, including the three magical weapons that were rotating around them, disappeared again by the lake.
Even if those greedy people come here, they will not be able to find their figures or breath.
Suddenly, the Cuishuang Thundercloud Fan trembled slightly, flew towards Rong, and stopped in front of him.
Rong's eyes lit up.
He stretched out his hand carefully, and the Cuishuang Thundercloud Fan fell into his hand. He suddenly felt a cool force of thunder and lightning flowing through his body.
He waved the fan gently, a gust of cold wind blew, and the water on the lake began to ripple, as if affected by the power of ice and thunder on the fan.
Immediately afterwards, the Akagi Soul Whip stopped in front of Mu Xin, swaying gently, as if waving to her.
Mu Xin's throat was dry with excitement. She swallowed hard and gripped the whip handle. In an instant, a powerful yet gentle force surged through her body like a tide.
She shook it lightly, and the Akagi Soul Whip seemed to come to life, dancing happily in her hand, making bursts of crisp sounds.
Finally, the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear stopped steadily in front of Lu Ziche. The fire dragon on the spear seemed to come alive, and the dragon's roar was deafening.
Lu Ziche took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner excitement.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and carefully took the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear. He immediately felt a powerful and burning force surging into his body like a volcanic eruption, and the whole person seemed to become more powerful.
The breath of the fire dragon gathered in his hands, and the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear let out a cheerful dragon roar, as if celebrating that it had found a new master.
"Om-"
The three artifacts emitted a low cry at the same time, as if announcing their choice to the world.
Everyone was shocked, knowing that this meant the artifact had recognized them.
"Haha, I got the recognition of Akagi Soul Whip!"
Mu Xin laughed excitedly, and the Akagi Soul Whip in her hand seemed to sense her joy, trembling happily and making crisp sounds.
"Same with us!" Lu Ziche and Yu Rong laughed in unison.
Lu Ziche waved the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear excitedly. The flame coming out of the tip of the spear was burning as fiercely as the excitement in his heart.
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, suddenly, the sound of footsteps in the distance came closer and closer like a drum, and those greedy practitioners were getting closer and closer.
Everyone's heart tightened and they quickly put away their joy.
"Cousin, please sign the contract quickly. We are here, so you can sign the contract with confidence." Su Chenyin reminded calmly.
"Okay!" Yu Rong, Lu Ziche and Mu Xin responded in unison.
Then, the three of them sat cross-legged, each stretched out a finger, and dripped a drop of blood on their respective artifacts.
Close your eyes and begin to recite the contract spell silently in your mind.
Mu Xin's red wood soul whip was like a living red dragon, dancing happily around her, and the red light emitted from the whip enveloped Mu Xin.
Yu Rong's Cui Shuang Thunder Cloud Fan kept spinning around him, emitting cold lightning energy, and his body was shrouded in emerald green light.
Lu Ziche held the Golden Flame Wind-Breaking Spear in both hands. The flames coming out of the tip of the spear were like starlight, surrounding Lu Ziche. His whole body was shrouded in a red-gold light.
The contract between the three artifacts and three people has officially begun!
Su Chenyin, Jun Yijue and Yu Zhiyan stood guard nervously by the side, staring around vigilantly in case anyone disturbed them at this critical moment.
At this moment, a group of figures appeared by the lake. These people were the greedy disciples led by Lin Feng.
Seeing the empty lake and the artifact disappearing without a trace, everyone looked at each other with disappointment and anger on their faces, as if their souls had been sucked out.
"Where is the artifact? Where did the artifact go?" Zhang Lanhua looked around in panic with greedy eyes, like a hungry wild dog.
"Damn it! Where are the artifacts? Who took them away?"
Lin Feng roared, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and the sound made the air around him tremble.
"Brother, we are late!"
Zhao Feixing waved his fist angrily, and his fist left a series of afterimages in the air, as if tearing the air apart.
"How is this possible? Which bitch stole my artifact? Damn it! Damn it!"
Zhang Lanhua yelled in disbelief, his face twisted like a demon.
