Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The Sage Level Warrior Contest was drawing to its end after a few days of hustle and bustle. At long last, the momentous event everyone had prepared for was about to happen—the Hundred-sage Treasure Race had begun as scheduled. The excitement could be felt in the atmosphere as animated participants and audience discussed and bantered with each other.

The day before the race was to commence, the Dignity College had announced that the treasure they were going to fight for was a famous Holy Level treasure in ancient times, the Lightning Wheel.

According to legends, anyone who wielded the Lightning Wheel would be able to move as fast as the speed of light. Plus, it could also double as a highly destructive Holy-level weapon. Therefore, as soon as it was revealed that this was victor's reward, the participants got excited and were more determined to get it.

At the moment, the Dignity College was brimming with countless individuals. Nearly a hundred Sage Level warriors from the Dignity College and other clans and sects had gathered in the Hundred-Sage Valley. These prominent warriors were the elites of the Canopy Kingdom, and they were highly esteemed in their respective forces. To garner their attention surely meant one thing—the upcoming battle for the treasure would surely be intense and exciting.

e helpers we can gather, the more we can delay their plan and have more time for our reinforcements to come. Therefore, whether we can stop this conspiracy or not depends on you." Zachary locked his gaze upon the both of them with such intensity.

"What about you?" Sharon asked immediately.

"Someone must be there to distract them so that you can accomplish your task," Zachary gravely replied.

"Wait... Are you going to deal with them on your own?" Sharon inquired, a little surprised at this plan.

"That's too dangerous, Hodge! You could get killed!" Fabian protested as he furrowed his brows.

"Just focus on your tasks, okay? I have my own ways, trust me. Remember, this is not a game. It's practically impossible for us to have zero casualties. It's expected that some people would die in the process, but as long as we can stop the plan of the Moon Shadow, any sacrifice is worth it. Do you understand?" Zachary slapped some truth bombs in them. They couldn't afford to be hesitant at this point. Their minds should be clear and decisive to make this plan work.

Both Sharon and Fabian saw the resolve in Zachary's eyes. He had already made his mind up that he would stop the Moon Shadow's plan at any cost, so they both nodded. After all, the Canopy Kingdom would terribly suffer if they didn't do it.
