Chapter 2213: Verification (Part 3)

Tang Kun didn’t say anything, he just opened that box, inside was a black token-like seal.

Chai Qin stepped forward to take the box, but Yang Ruxin stopped her: "I’ll do it myself." Saying that, she reached out and took the box.

"Is this real?" Yu Qingge frowned, "Could he have swapped it out?"

"Keke, do you really not trust me?" Tang Kun smiled bitterly.

"Yes." Yu Qingge nodded, "People like you are not worth trusting."

"Alright then." Tang Kun sighed, "If you don’t trust it, then let’s verify it."

"How do we verify?"

"Treasure Pavilion."

The Treasure Pavilion of the Tang Sect was built at the founding of the sect, storing all valuable items collected over the years, like divine weapons, rare treasures and herbs, as well as some of the sect’s secret techniques.

With a century of accumulation, the amount of treasure inside is considerable.

This Sect Leader’s token is also the key to the Treasure Pavilion’s main door.

Yu Qingge looked towards Tang Wanqian.

Tang Wanqian nodded: "Indeed, it can be verified."

Yang Ruxin glanced at the seal in the box, her eyes flickering, then followed everyone to the back.

It’s called the Treasure Tower, but it’s not a traditional building. It’s built into the cliffside at the back, with the cliff face hollowed out to form layers resembling a building, and the gates are all made of stone.

However, the stone door is about seven or eight meters away from here, with an abyss in between. In front of the stone door on the opposite side, there’s only a two or three-meter square stone platform, which can only accommodate two or three people.

Those with Qinggong can fly over; otherwise, they need to lower an iron plank bridge to walk across.

"I’ll go over." Gu Qingheng glanced at Gu Qingheng; he wouldn’t let Yang Ruxin take the risk.

"You can’t go." Tang Kun shook his head, "That stone platform is covered with poisonous insects, only the ’Mother of Ten Thousand Insects’ can drive them away. So if you go, you’ll only end up being gnawed into bones by those insects..."

Gu Qingheng looked at Tang Wanqian.

Tang Wanqian nodded, indicating it was true.

Elder Ming and several other elders also came over: "Opening the Treasure Pavilion not only verifies the authenticity of the Sect Leader’s token but also verifies the authenticity of the ’Mother of Ten Thousand Insects’. Only then can you gain the recognition of the Tang Sect members."

"Have you never been there?" Yu Qingge frowned at Tang Kun.

Tang Kun shook his head: "Ever since Master left here, I’ve never been; after all, I have no way to neutralize those insect poisons."

"It’s okay, I’ll go." Yang Ruxin took a deep breath, "Since I want to inherit the Tang Sect, some risks must be taken."

"But..."

"No buts." Yang Ruxin took Gu Qingheng’s hand, "I’ll be fine." She had space and advantages, which were her greatest assurance.

Gu Qingheng stared at Yang Ruxin for a long time before nodding: "I’ll accompany you from behind."

"This iron plank bridge can only bear up to one hundred and fifty pounds." Tang Kun smiled smugly, "In other words, it can only hold one person." And not someone too heavy.

Gu Qingheng felt like spitting blood, how absurd is this?

The mechanism activated, and the iron plank bridge slowly lowered.

"Alright then, wait for me here." Yang Ruxin glanced at the crowd, "I have a big life." Then she looked at Gu Qingheng, "Don’t act rashly no matter what you see later, trust me, and remember, I haven’t given you a bun yet."
