Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The mysterious voice sounded again: "Intruders, you have angered the power here. Now your test has become more difficult."

Lu Yuan said: "Senior, we didn't mean to offend the power here, we just want to find the gem and leave here. Please tell us what to do."

The mysterious voice said: "You have no way out. Only by finding the gem can you calm the power here and leave. Otherwise, you will be trapped here forever."

Lu Yuan's heart sank, but he did not give up.

He said to Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er: "We can't give up. There must be a way to find the gem."

They continued to search for gems in the pool, while always being alert to the dangers around them.

As time went by, their strength was gradually exhausted, but they still hadn't found the gem.

Just when Ye Ling'er was about to despair, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered some faint light flickering on the wall of the pool.

He walked closer and found that the lights seemed to be some hidden symbols.

"What are these symbols?" Chu Yao asked curiously.

Lu Yuan observed the symbols carefully and said, "Maybe these symbols are related to the gems. We have been looking in the pool before, but ignored the surrounding walls."

They began to study the symbols on the wall, and after some effort, they finally found some clues.

These symbols were more like a guide, telling them that the gems were at the bottom of the pool, but that a special method was required to find them.

Lu Yuan was delighted and said, "We have hope. As long as we find that special method, we can find the gem."

Lu Yuan said to Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er: "Let's give it a try. This is our last chance."

Chu Yao and Ye Ling'er nodded. They stood by the pool and injected their strength into it.

The light in the pool began to become brighter, and a mysterious formation gradually emerged.

Under the influence of the formation, the water in the pool began to flow slowly, and a glittering object slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.

"It's a gem!" Chu Yao said excitedly.

Lu Yuan quickly reached out and grabbed the gem. The moment he grabbed the gem, the light in the pool disappeared, and those strange creatures also disappeared.

Lu Yuan had just grabbed the gem and had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly a black shadow flashed by and a man in a black robe pounced on him, trying to snatch the gem.

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Yuan shouted and quickly dodged to the side. Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao also reacted immediately, drew their weapons, and stared at the man in black robes vigilantly.

The black-robed man missed the first strike, but he did not give up and swung his palm towards Lu Yuan again. Lu Yuan was prepared, and he turned his wrist and the Xuanyuan Sword was instantly unsheathed, blocking the black-robed man's attack.

"Hmph, hand over the gem, or you'll never leave here alive." The man in black robe said viciously.

Lu Yuan sneered and said, "Do you think we will hand over the gemstone to you so easily? You underestimate us too much."

The black-robed man's eyes widened with anger and he said, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

As he said this, he launched another attack, each move was ruthless, trying to force Lu Yuan to hand over the gem.

However, he seemed to underestimate Lu Yuan and the power of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

A burst of golden light shone so brightly that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

Just when the man in black robe was gradually falling into a passive position, Lu Yuan suddenly used a special move to force the man in black robe back.

"Don't refuse my toast or you'll have to drink the penalty wine~" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Then, he quickly took out a talisman from his arms and muttered something.

Instantly a flash of light passed by, and the man in black robe was frozen in place. "How...how did you get this?" the man in black robe said in horror.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I knew you would come to snatch the gems, so I made preparations in advance. Do you think you can hide it from me?"

Otherwise, why would they stay in the office for so long? Isn't it just to take a break, recharge their energy, and have a good meeting with this guy?

Who knew this guy was so weak.

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. Okay, I admit that I came here for the gems. But I had no choice."

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to steal the gem?"

The man in black robe slowly took off his hat, revealing an old face.

"I am a Taoist priest, and my name is Wuxu. I came here to look for gems, but I couldn't find a way to break the mechanism, so I set a trap for you."

Chu Yao said angrily: "You are going too far! You actually took advantage of us."

Taoist Wuxu said helplessly: "I have no other choice. This gem is very important to me. It is related to the fate of all people in the world."

Lu Yuan asked doubtfully: "The fate of all people in the world? What is the use of this gem?"

Taoist Wuxu explained: "This gem is a divine artifact. It has great power and can seal the power of evil. If it falls into the hands of the bad guys, the consequences will be disastrous. I have been looking for it to prevent it from being used by the bad guys."

Ye Ling'er said: "Then you can't use us. We almost died here."

Taoist Priest Wuxu said guiltily: "I know I was wrong. However, I am also thinking about the overall situation. Now the gem is in your hands. I hope you can give it to me and let me seal the evil power."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "How can we trust you? You just wanted to snatch the gem."

Taoist Wuxu said: "I can swear that I will never steal gems again. I just want to use the power of the gems to seal the evil forces and protect the people of the world. If I break my oath, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Lu Yuan looked at Taoist Wuxu's sincere eyes and felt a little shaken.

He knew that this gem did possess great power, and if it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be disastrous.

But he couldn't easily hand over the gem to a stranger.

Just when Lu Yuan was hesitant, Chu Yao suddenly said: "Lu Yuan, I think we can trust him."

"He doesn't look like a bad guy. And what he said makes sense. If the gems are used by bad people, all people in the world will be in danger."

Ye Ling'er also said: "Brother Lu Yuan, I also think we can consider it. After all, we found the gem just to leave here, not to possess it."

After listening to their words, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, but had other ideas in his mind.

He looked at Taoist Wuxu and said, "Okay, we can give you the gem. But you must promise that you will use it to seal the evil power and protect the people of the world."

Taoist Wuxu said gratefully: "Don't worry, I will keep my oath. I will keep this gem well and will not let it fall into the wrong hands."

Lu Yuan handed the gem to Taoist Wuxu and said, "I hope you can do what you say."

Taoist Wuxu took the gem and placed it carefully in his arms.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Just then, they suddenly heard a roar.

Then the entire tomb began to shake.

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse. Let's leave quickly." Lu Yuan shouted. (End of this chapter)
