Chapter 686: Chapter 696: Secret Letter of Witch Ancestor Mountain

In the midst of chaos, it stood orderly and neat, demanding attention.

Bai Junjun pulled Li Wenli towards the brass statue.

At that moment, Li Wenli also noticed the statue, and the two of them gathered around it to carefully examine.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the statue was welded onto the shelf, but the statue’s belly had a nine-square grid, clearly a mechanical device.

The original owner was a puzzle-solving expert, and Bai Junjun quickly fiddled with it for a moment. With a "click", the statue suddenly opened its mouth, and a piece of paper came out from inside.

Bai Junjun hadn’t expected the statue to have a hidden compartment, and she carefully unfolded the paper.

The writing on it was strange, ancient script from a thousand years ago.

Bai Junjun had no choice but to pass the slip of paper to Li Wenli.

Li Wenli took a glance at it and began to read earnestly.

The descendants of the Witch Tribe, please note:

The sacred insect of the Witch Tribe has been dead for many years. It’s unfortunate that there’s been no sacred insect born over a millennia, and now with the Witch Tribe’s bloodline withering and no sacred insect to protect the mountain, our status will surely be replaced by other forces.

I’ve searched far and wide for a secret method and learned that the Western Region has introduced four Treasure Boxes. When brought together, they hold the power of resurrection.

Only by gathering the four Treasure Boxes can the descendants resurrect the sacred insect, allowing the Witch Tribe to stand in this world for thousands of generations.

The locations of the four Treasure Boxes are hereby revealed: one in the Northern Lands, one in the Eastern Land, one in the Ownerless Land, and one here. The descendants of our tribe must brave dangers to retrieve the Treasure Boxes.

Reclaim our tribe’s might and restore the glory of Witch Ancestor Mountain.

The content of the document shocked Bai Junjun.

It was unexpected that the City Lord of Fubo City had acquired not just one Treasure Box, but four.

And Witch Ancestor Mountain was not seeking the Treasure Box to resurrect a person, but an insect.

It was unclear what power this sacred insect had, to make them so persistent.

Thinking that Witch Ancestor Mountain was either seeking the insect or striving to resurrect it, Bai Junjun truly didn’t know what to say.

To go to such lengths for an insect was indeed unprecedented.

Of course, that was the purpose of Witch Ancestor Mountain’s search for the Treasure Boxes.

However, what was the Fifth Prince seeking the Treasure Boxes for?

And Yuwen Jun? If he had a connection with the Itinerant World’s Forces, then what were he and they looking for the Treasure Boxes for?

Bai Junjun felt that the more she knew, the bigger her confusion grew, and now she really was at her wit’s end.

"There will eventually be a chance to figure it out," Li Wenli patted Bai Junjun’s head, thinking that the people outside must be getting anxious. He persuaded the young lady to go out first and to think through their next steps tomorrow.

Bai Junjun could only nod in agreement.

Thus, the two left the space silently, and outside, Lady Lin had just finished her story.

Of course, all she could talk about was her own part and how Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had come to her rescue.

As for how they appeared and why they were running up and down the Thousand Miles Headquarters, she lacked an explanation and simply omitted that part, waiting for Li Wenli and the others to tell it themselves.

Compared to Bai Junjun and Li Wenli’s usual style of hiding as much as they revealed, Lady Lin’s minute detail, even down to how the Caped Old Man wounded Li Wenli, left everyone both satisfied and indignant.

Especially the Seven-Person Team, once they understood the full story, they were itching to storm back to the Thousand Miles Headquarters to avenge their young master.

After all, as precious as the young master was, it was cruel of that old man to have captured him like that.

"No need, I’ve already killed him," Bai Junjun leisurely appeared in the living room right then.

Everyone had been waiting for most of the night, and finally, Bai Junjun came out, prompting everyone to stand up at once.
