He Sandao glanced at the conveyor belt, but wasn't particularly surprised.
"According to my people, this thing was operating automatically a few days ago, quite amazing. Now it seems to have stopped."
He Sandao said this and headed into the abandoned mine.
Jiang Xiao hurriedly followed. Only the two of them entered the abandoned mine, while the other bandits waited outside.
Inside the abandoned mine, the conveyor belt outside connected to the inside, extending all the way to a stone gate deep inside the mine.
He Sandao said, "This should be Chen Feng's residence."
The two then arrived in front of the stone gate, which was reinforced with an iron lock, a lock they had never seen before.
"This lock..." Jiang Xiao was surprised again.
He Sandao said nothing, but drew his long sword, channeling his inner energy and slashing at the lock on the stone gate.
Sparks flew as the long sword and lock made contact, and then the iron lock broke with a sound.
"It's just a lock made of Sunstone, but the forging method is a bit strange."
He Sandao sheathed his sword and pushed open the stone door, entering the secret room.
The two were stunned upon entering.
Most of the things inside were new to them.
Modern sofas, beds, tables and chairs, and a variety of electrical appliances.
"What are these?" Jiang Xiao's face was filled with shock.
He Sandao walked over to the table, where a tablet lay.
This was what Chen Feng used to watch movies and read novels when he had nothing else to do.
As soon as He Sandao touched the tablet, the screen lit up.
Startled, he took a few steps back, shielding his chest with his sword.
After a moment, seeing that the tablet was silent, he lowered his sword.
He Sandao had thought it was a magical weapon from an immortal. After all, this luminous object was very similar to the legendary immortal weapons.
It was rumored that some immortal weapons could attack on their own, which was why he had been so cautious.
Seeing that the tablet was merely glowing and posed no danger, Jiang Xiao approached, picking it up and examining it carefully.
On it lay rows of text, the very novel Chen Feng hadn't finished reading.
"There's writing on it, but I don't know what language it's in."
Jiang Xiao's face lit up with excitement.
Although he didn't know what it was, there was no doubt it was an immortal artifact.
It was most likely an immortal technique.
He Sandao spoke, "Brother Jiang, let's leave this here for now. We'll discuss its distribution later," He Sandao warned.
Jiang Xiao smiled and put the tablet down, knowing He Sandao was warning him.
Honestly, if He Sandao weren't so skilled, he'd have been tempted to kill someone and steal the treasure. Everything here looked like something only an immortal could possess.
The two of them quickly scanned the secret room, but they didn't recognize most of the items.
"Brother He, Chen Feng must have discovered some immortal cave, and these things were taken from there," Jiang Xiao offered his only guess.
"Yes, that's a possibility,"
He Sandao replied, then he went to Chen Feng's bed and began to search.
There was a pack of cigarettes on the bedside table, but nothing else.
He Sandao opened the cigarette package and sniffed it, puzzled, unable to discern what it was.
Then, Jiang Xiao said, "Brother He, I'll only take this glowing tablet. The rest is yours. What do you think?"
Jiang Xiao took a fancy to the tablet. Not only did it glow, but it also had text on it, making its value inestimable.
He Sandao sneered, "Brother Jiang, you're really calculating. This is probably the most valuable item here. The other items, while unique, aren't worth much."
He Sandao naturally wouldn't give the tablet to Jiang Xiao.
"So, what are your plans, Brother He?" Jiang Xiao's face darkened.
He Sandao immediately said, "Chen Feng is still alive. It's too early to talk about distribution now. Let's deal with Chen Feng first. Leave the items here for now."
Hearing He Sandao's suggestion, Jiang Xiao thought for a moment before nodding.
Finding Chen Feng was indeed the first thing they needed to do.
The two then exited the abandoned mine.
He Sandao instructed his men to guard the entrance and approached a group of Xingfeng Sect warriors.
They were all bound and kneeling on the ground. Fear was evident on every face.
Their bodies were covered in wounds, clearly having been severely beaten.
He Sandao asked a bandit,"Have you interrogated anything?"
The bandit immediately reported respectfully, "Master, these people don't know where Chen Feng has gone."
Upon hearing this, He Sandao's expression remained unchanged.
"Kill five first, hang their heads at the gate of the Xingfeng Sect, and spread the word."
He Sandao's idea was simple: kill a few Xingfeng Sect members every day, then spread the word.
If Chen Feng cared, he would definitely show up.
The bandit henchman nodded immediately, then drew his knife and charged at several Xingfeng Sect warriors.
The Xingfeng Sect warriors immediately cried out for mercy, but it was no use. Soon, the five heads were severed.
As soon as the blood appeared, it was completely absorbed by He Sandao's Blood Demon Blade.
Seeing his companion's tragic death, a Xingfeng Sect warrior cried out in horror, "I know how to find Chen Feng! I know how to find him. Master, spare my life! Spare my life!"
Hearing this, He Sandao looked at the warrior. Several minions immediately tackled the warrior.
Jiang Xiao was the first to approach him and ask, "How do we find him?"
He was even more eager than He Sandao to find Chen Feng and question him about the contents of the secret room. The Xingfeng Sect warrior trembled,
"I don't know where Chen Feng is, but Wang Hu is the person Chen Feng trusts most. He's a close confidant of Chen Feng's, and he definitely knows where Chen Feng is..."
The Xingfeng Sect warrior quickly recounted Wang Hu's story.
He had a good relationship with Wang Hu within the Xingfeng Sect, and Wang Hu had taken good care of him.
But now, with his own life at stake, he had no choice but to sell Wang Hu out.
"Where is he?" Jiang Xiao demanded.
The warriors of Xingfeng Sect immediately said: "He has returned home. I know where his home is. I will take you there!"
He Sandao said to several bandits who were at the seventh level of the acquired realm: "You take your men over there and capture Wang Hu."
There are still seven or eight warriors above the seventh level of the acquired realm in Heifeng Village. It is not a problem to capture Wang Hu.
After receiving the order, several bandits left with a group of people.
In the secret room, a ripple like water waves slowly emerged, and Chen Feng's figure condensed. He was holding a large bag in his hand.
After the transaction with Jack, Chen Feng found a remote place and returned to the scroll world through the scroll.
He planned to send the equipment to the scroll world first, and then return to the modern world to return home.
Chen Feng was still worried if the scroll was not kept in his own factory. There was no way for others to bring the scroll to the scroll world.
