Chapter 435 The threat from the man in black robe
After the black-robed man entered the library with a group of people behind him, he immediately launched a search operation.
They carefully checked every corner, not missing any clues.
Because Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen had been here before and had tampered with the floor mechanism of the library.
So when they finished searching the first floor, they easily found the stairs leading to the second floor.
The man in black robe led everyone to the second floor.
As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
When his eyes fell on the pool in the middle of the second floor, he immediately understood everything - the precious lotus had been picked by someone else.
His face turned red with anger, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands trembled with anger.
He gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it! Someone actually got this treasure before us!"
His eyes were full of anger, as if they were about to spit fire.
He was secretly annoyed and blamed himself for coming too late and letting others take the lead.
At this moment, he felt resentment towards the person who took the lotus away, and vowed to find him and take back the lost treasure.
After his anger, the man in black robe gradually regained his composure, but the coldness and oppression still existed, which made people shudder.
His eyes were like two extremely sharp swords, coldly sweeping across Jiang Yimo's face, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Miss Jiang, I know that you and the Evil King have been here before. Did you dig up the lotus in this pond?"
His voice was low and cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Hearing these words, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel a surge of nameless anger in her heart.
She really wanted to retort directly: "I didn't dig them, they flew into my space on their own initiative!"
However, reason told her that now was not the time to act on impulse.
So, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and calmly asked, "You are so eager to find these thousand-year-old lotuses, don't you know the secrets hidden in them?"
After asking, the black-robed man stared at her with his cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Little girl, it seems you know a lot?"
His tone was cold and threatening.
Jiang Yimo rolled her eyes at her and immediately played dumb and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
The black-robed man raised his lips slightly, revealing a teasing smile: "..."
Jiang Yimo felt uneasy when he looked at her. She swallowed her saliva and continued to speak: "I am telling the truth, really!"
The black-robed man's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Little girl, you'd better not play tricks in front of me. I know a lot of your secrets."
Jiang Yimo was shocked, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "Oh? Then tell me, what do you know?"
The black-robed man slowly approached her and said in a low voice, "For example, you have many unknown secrets, and your aura is different from others, and you often use those strange hidden weapons... Do you think I don't know these?"
Jiang Yimo's face turned pale and her heartbeat quickened suddenly.
She didn't expect that this man in black robe knew so many of her secrets and could even notice these details.
Fortunately, the secret of her space was not leaked, otherwise, this person would have skinned her alive to get her space.
But she still pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The man in black robe sneered and said, "You don't have to deny it. Your reaction has already explained it all."
"But don't worry, as long as you obey me, I won't tell your secret to anyone."
Jiang Yimo: “…”
"What secret? Just tell me if you want to. I won't stop you."
Hearing these words, Jiang Yimo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I wondered what this guy was trying to do.
Is he trying to use my secret to blackmail me?
It's a pity that she wasn't afraid at all.
The man in black robe was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: Is this woman normal? Why is she so calm?
He snorted coldly and said, "Do you really trust that I won't tell your secret to others?"
"By then, all the powerful people in the world will hunt you down!"
However, the woman smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about his threat.
"Oh, really? Then tell me, what secrets do I have that are worth your concern?"
The man in black robe was speechless for a moment. Yes, what secrets does she have? He himself doesn't know.
All I know is that the people who were sent to investigate her said that this woman named Jiang was hiding a huge secret.
Moreover, his people often saw her taking out various unheard-of hidden weapons to deal with them.
Those hidden weapons were all strange and bizarre things that he had never seen before, which gave him a headache.
These hidden weapons not only injured his men, but also caused heavy losses to his Hundred Ghosts Sect.
But he asked people to investigate again and again, but they couldn't find out what secret this woman had.
He once sent people to follow Jiang Yimo, but they were all discovered by her and the people sent by the Evil King to protect her, and she would use various methods to get rid of the followers.
He also sent people to sneak into her room, but found no useful clues.
Regardless of anything else, based on the status of Jiang Yimo in the hearts of the old emperor and the evil king, it would be worth it to capture her.
It would be a very good thing to capture her and learn some secrets about the old emperor and the evil king from her, or use her to threaten the old emperor and the evil king.
In this way, he can gain more power and wealth and realize his ambitions.
Thinking of this, the man in black robe stopped looking at her and turned to his subordinates and said, "Let's go up to the third floor and take a look."
After saying that, the man in black robe took the lead and walked towards the stairs above the pool, while his subordinates followed closely behind him.
When he climbed to the third floor, he was stunned.
Because the scene before him was really beyond his expectations.
He originally thought what the third floor would be like, but what appeared before him was a ruin!
This made the man in black robe feel very confused and puzzled.
He originally thought that there should be more secrets or treasures waiting for them to discover, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
"What is going on?" the black-robed man muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
He stood there, observing his surroundings carefully.
The entire third floor looked like it had been destroyed by a huge disaster, with walls collapsed, the ground broken, and dust and debris everywhere.
The man in black robe frowned and thought to himself.
Did a fierce battle ever take place here?
Or is there some other reason why this place became a ruin?
