Chapter 2: Historical Sites

Unconsciously, I touched the hidden compartment in my belt, where the sect leader's token of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Gate lay quietly, unmoving.

Do not twitch your lips, shrug your shoulders: "Who was it last year in Amsterdam that sought a woman and had no money to pay, forcing me to come to the rescue? You bought me for one hundred dollars, and that day I paid three thousand eight for you. Even accounting for the inflation over these two years, I have already repaid you the favor."

He took a big gulp of beer, crushed the beer can, and threw it out forcefully

Glancing at the Longyuan Sword tightly held in hand, it truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient famous sword. After being struck by the electric light, the blade showed no signs of damage; instead, amidst the misty water glow, it inexplicably gained a mysterious shade of deep blue, identical in hue to the earlier flash of lightning.

The entire Machu Picchu suddenly trembled as Wu Wang struck forcefully, causing the intricately carved brick to slowly sink into the wall. In a hall on the eastern side of the temple, which had lost its roof, hundreds of exquisite carved floor tiles silently slid open, quickly disappearing into the ground, revealing a tunnel entrance wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

Just last year, they encountered a moving mummy in an underground tomb somewhere in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Wu Qi, along with more than thirty skilled members of the Greedy Wolves group, engaged in a fierce battle, and after much effort, they finally reduced the mummy to fragments.

Do not beg to grasp a sharkskin scabbard beside you, with a brass handle and a golden mouth, the ancient sword in the scabbard is embedded with numerous gemstones of various sizes

Wu Wang furrowed his brow, tightly gripping the gold medal in his hand, and cautiously approached the doorway

Gold 6, Silver 4, with extremely high purity. As long as we cut these two large doors and bring them back, we will have recouped the ticket price!

Do not beg; open your eyes wide and gaze blankly at the incomprehensible objects within.

The clues on the gold medal indeed did not mislead anyone. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that this portal can automatically emit high-voltage electricity for self-defense is enough to attract significant attention. What lies behind this door is even more worthy of everyone's anticipation

The rectangular portal stands twelve meters high and over three meters wide. Under the illumination of the searchlight, the portal radiates a mysterious glow of gold and silver.

As soon as the golden plaque was embedded, the portal suddenly emitted a strong light. Wu Wang leaped back thirty meters, and the heavy portal silently and slowly opened to the sides, revealing a vast space filled with an extraordinary brilliance.

Do not gaze at the main gate; suddenly draw the sword, and a beam of water light bursts forth from the scabbard, accompanied by a piercing sound as it shoots straight towards the gate

Reaching out, he took a palm-sized gold medal from the doorman's hand, shaped like a multi-pointed sun and rich in the cultural charm of the South American Inca civilization. Wu Wang looked at the grand door and smiled, saying, "I am very curious; with such a cost to the door, what could be behind it?"

Looking back at Wu Qi, Wu Wang asked anxiously, "Wu Qi, are you alright?"

This Dragon Abyss Sword is extraordinarily sharp; even modern special alloy forged combat knives cannot withstand its lightest strike. As the only heir of Wu Wang and the current chief disciple of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day sect, Wu Qi naturally has the qualification to wield it

He entrusted all his important belongings to those who were not skilled in surveying ancient relics, while he personally led a group of elite disciples into the fray, and now they are busily engaged in the ruins of Machu Picchu.

No one paid attention to Le Xiaobai's self-pity.

Dozens of blood columns soared, and dozens of heads rolled across the ground

The Tanlang Group, formed by Wu Wang after joining the Shoutianhuanri Sect, is an elite force that has been trained using military methods to nurture orphans from various regions over the past few years. Under the leadership of Wu Qi, the Tanlang Group played a pivotal role in turning the tide during the struggle in which Wu Wang defeated Shangguan Ye and took control of the Shoutianhuanri Sect.

The body is in excruciating pain, as if every cell is being pierced by high-voltage electricity. If it were not for the powerful internal strength supporting him, the electric shock would have already killed him

Le Xiaobai stretched his neck and instinctively muttered to himself: "Maglev? Immortal? Celestial being? It can't be that absurd, can it?"

Fortunately, nothing extraordinary occurred here. After overcoming sixty-four traps and mechanisms, Le Xiaobai and the others successfully arrived at a large metal door at the end of the passageway. This door was evidently forged from gold and silver, adorned with countless mysterious patterns.

On the tourist route leading to Machu Picchu, local police have set up roadblocks, citing that an important archaeological survey is currently taking place at Machu Picchu, and that no unauthorized individuals are allowed to approach.

I detest such actions that insult my intelligence! As Le Xiaobai dismantled the traps on the road, he muttered, "Breaking into someone else's ancestral grave and forcing the door open with violence shows a complete lack of intelligence, a complete lack of intelligence!"

Wu Qi possesses an exceptionally strong talent for martial arts and combat abilities

Before the words had left his mouth, three beams of blue light suddenly shot in from behind the tunnel.

Wu Wang possesses exceptional organizational skills and strong leadership cohesion

More than 200 meters away, in an abandoned temple, Wu Wang straightened his back, coughed heavily, and spat out a thick phlegm. A heavy rain had just fallen, and the temple was filled with dust; the rainwater mixed with the dust to form a filthy mud. Wu Wang was covered all over, resembling a muddy monkey.

Possessing an extraordinary and perverse intelligence, the frail Le Xiaobai, who is even more delicate than Lin Daiyu, has comprehended all the mechanisms and hidden weapons of the "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" technique within just a few short years, and has further innovated and expanded upon them. As long as he leads the way, there is essentially no mechanism that can pose a challenge to Wu Wang and Wu Qi and others.

Dressed in a long robe, looking as neat as a noble young man attending a night banquet, Le Xiaobai struggled hard, shouting loudly: "I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder! Big brother, sect leader, Uncle Wu, I hate digging holes, please don't pull me!"

The Lost Mountain, Machu Picchu

Le Xiaobai's body stiffened, and he stared blankly at the filthy, foul-smelling water dripping down his face, his body convulsing violently.

The mystery of the Inca ruins is no less than that of Egypt, and one should always be prepared to draw the sword at any moment

A few soft sounds echoed, and a blue light swept across the area like a galloping horse. Except for Wu Wang, Mo Qi, and Le Xiaobai, all other disciples of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day sect were dead

However, the one who truly inherited the ancestral culinary skills of the Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun sect is none other than Le Xiaobai

Wu Wang laughed loudly, while Le Xiaobai's mouth twitched for quite a while. Suddenly, he stomped his foot, threw down the folding fan, took off his long gown, and dejectedly led the team forward.

The scenery of the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu is exceptional, with verdant peaks layered upon one another. Morning mist rises, creating long white trails that stretch across the mountainside, resembling a fairyland that invites contemplation.

A dozen or so formidable young members of the "Greedy Wolf Group" from the "Heavenly Exchange" followed closely behind Wu Qi, armed with various weapons

Looking at the astonished Le Xiaobai, Wu Qi mocked, "As the chief of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun Sect, you actually had your wallet taken by those little rascals from the Netherlands. If our ancestors were aware, they would surely haunt you in your sleep and suffocate you!"

At the edge of Machu Picchu, which is over 2,000 meters above sea level, three agile disciples of the "Heavenly Exchange" sect, equipped with compact submachine guns, are vigilantly observing their surroundings

Do not beg for extraordinary talent; after four years of arduous training under Wu Wang, one’s internal strength is nearly comparable to that of the four elders within the sect. The Longyuan Sword is an ancient treasure, its azure blade glistening like rippling water. Under the surge of internal energy, the sword tip emits a beam of light three inches long, slicing through the air and piercing the great door

After only a few steps, Wu Wang, who had just exhausted himself, turned back and pulled the unwilling Le Xiaobai, who was trailing behind.

Setting aside the delicate ultrasonic detector in his hand, Wu stepped back a few paces, then suddenly lunged forward, delivering a heavy palm strike to an inconspicuous carved brick in the corner of the temple. The instrument had already detected the presence of the mysterious within the temple. With the experience and keen eyesight of an elite disciple from the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day sect, he easily identified that this brick was the key to controlling some mechanisms within the temple

Wu Wang tightly gripped the gold medal in his hand, looking at the door and shaking his head, saying: "Damn high-voltage electric fence, if that were the case, the first one to be struck dead would be you"

Taking a deep breath, he cautiously circulated a stream of true energy throughout his body, and then he straightened up without clenching his teeth. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a loss of seventy percent of my internal energy"

This gold medal was inadvertently obtained by a disciple of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun Sect from a private museum in South America several months ago. With the discerning eye of the disciples of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun Sect, this gold medal possesses immense value in terms of both its material and the patterns and inscriptions on it

Wu Wang, accompanied by several disciples of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Sun sect, proceeded along the path, simulating searchlights and ventilation ducts. Wu Qi led the elite members of the Greedy Wolf group, cautiously keeping watch in the surroundings. Within such ancient ruins, there might be all sorts of strange and unusual artifacts.

Standing by the door, Le Xiaobai jumped back more than two meters in fright, exclaiming: "What the hell, those uncivilized ancient Incas, did they invent high-voltage power grids?"

Over the past few years, Le Xiaobai has developed an astonishing ability to appraise through his training in the "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun" door. With just a gentle probe, he was able to discern the material composition of the folding door. It is almost a pure gold-silver alloy, with 60% gold and 40% silver. Given the immense size of this door, even if it were only as thick as an ordinary door, it would still represent an incredible fortune.

Wu Wang gasped: "This time, I've struck it rich!"

After moving his body a bit, Wu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Master, we need to use that gold medal. This big door is likely as strange as that mummy."

A loud bang echoed, and a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the door. A bolt of electricity, as thick as a human arm, shot out from the door and struck the Longyuan Sword with great force

"Do not beg! You ungrateful wretch! Have you forgotten who brought you out of Africa four years ago?" Le Xiaobai's folding fan nearly poked Wu Qi's nose.

According to the rules of the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Sect, the sect leader's token must be carried by the leader at all times and must never leave their side. However, Wu Wang is not a person who adheres strictly to conventions. Currently leading a group of elite disciples to survey the city of Machu Picchu, he is unwilling to bear an additional burden on himself.

Do not beg; the arm was as if struck by thunder, and the right sleeve instantly turned to ashes. His entire body shimmered with fine electric sparks, and he was violently thrown far away, feeling sharp pains in his limbs.

Le Xiaobai approached the door and fiercely jabbed it with a probe

Do not beg to sit on the top of a roof without a ceiling, several dozen meters away, holding a can of beer, smiling and enjoying the nearby scenery

Without asking for silence, he grabbed a piece of mud from the dark, thick layer of muck that was two or three inches deep and casually smeared it on Le Xiaobai's face

Holding the Longyuan Sword, Wu Qi stepped into the tunnel ahead of the others.

This is a sword taken by a certain elder-level master from a tomb beneath the Tiger Hill Sword Pool, dating back three generations before the events of the "Heavenly Swap". The sword blade is engraved with the characters "Dragon Abyss", but it is unknown whether it is the legendary Dragon Abyss Sword forged by Ou Yezi.

Murmuring complaints under their breath, Le Xiaobai led the group down the corridor, gradually delving deeper into the mountain. The corridor was equipped with dozens of deadly traps and hidden weapons, all of which Le Xiaobai effortlessly disarmed.

Cautiously, with utmost care, luck shielded his right palm, and Wu Wang stuffed the gold medal into the center of a smiling sun mask positioned at the entrance.

Thus, the artifacts from the museum successfully arrived at the Door of Deception. After diligent research by several experts in ancient history and ancient scripts within the door, following the clues left on the gold medal, Wu Wang and others arrived here
