Chapter 35: False is True
"Sure enough, you guessed it right, Boss. There really is more than one treasure map!"

Xiao Yuer admired Lu Ping and gave him a thumbs up.

When Lu Ping proposed this conjecture before, he thought it was very likely, and now they have finally confirmed this conjecture.

"Nonsense, otherwise how can I be your boss?"

Lu Ping boasted and gave him orders, "Hurry up and search the corpse. After that we will rush to the next place!"

"I have a feeling that there must be treasure at the end of the other road at the fork in the road!"

Lu Ping and his companions did find some good things from these martial arts masters.

However, they were all poison antidotes, hidden weapons, small change, but not a single martial arts secret book was found. Seeing this, everyone was inevitably disappointed.

Lu Ping had expected this, he laughed and comforted everyone, "Don't be discouraged, it's normal to have no gains. Who would go out with the martial arts secret book they practiced for no reason?"

However, nothing was found on the dead body, but there were good things in this stone chamber.

In addition to a large box of gold, silver and treasures, there were also dozens of martial arts secrets.

"Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife, Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Meteor Kick, Praying Mantis Fist, Phantom Yin Finger, Horizontal Vajra, Seven Wounds Fist of Chongtong, Positive and Negative Yin-Yang Knife Technique of Kunlun, Shaolin's Robe Subduing Demon Kung Fu..."

The strength of these martial arts secrets has a wide range. Some are third-rate stuff that are often used as stepping stones to become stronger, while others are profound secrets that are not passed on to other famous and upright sects.

All the cheats, big and small, added together, amount to a considerable amount of resources.

"It seems that these treasures and martial arts secrets are the reason why these martial arts masters are fighting each other. There are still so many here. I don't know if anyone has taken them out before."

Seeing this, Tie Xinlan felt a little bit unbelievable: "The gold and silver treasures are there, and the martial arts secrets are there, so the treasure map is actually real?"

After going through so much, she thought the news was fake.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuer cried out "Ouch!", clapped his hands and jumped up, shouting, "No, no!"

"what happened?"

Xiao Yuer said quickly: "If there is nothing here, it would be fine, but since both the treasure and the secret book have appeared here, even if they are not left by Yan Nantian, then even if the legendary treasure is fake, it can only be real now!"

Several people around blinked and asked, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

The others didn't know, but Lu Ping figured it out. He sighed, turned around and explained to the others, "If there's nothing here, and we tell outsiders that the treasure map is fake, they will probably believe it."

"But if you go out and tell outsiders that there are gold and silver treasures, and martial arts secrets from various major sects, but not Yan Nantian's "Divine Sword Art", how many people do you think will believe it?"

Everyone was silent for a long time, and then replied: "This... I'm afraid no one will believe it."

"now it's right!"

Lu Ping nodded: "At that time, everyone who has been here will become a suspect of possessing the 'Excalibur'. They will be hunted down by everyone who wants to seize the 'Excalibur', and after that, everyone who has come into contact with them will face the same fate!"

"It can be predicted that in the next world, a hunting game about 'Excalibur' will begin, and all those who have come into direct or indirect contact with the treasure map will passively participate in this game. They are both hunters and prey. There is basically no other way to escape except death."

The girls turned pale: "This... Doesn't this mean..."

"Yes, we will also be part of it." Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Lin Pingzhi thought of what had happened to his family, and his lips began to tremble, and his hands and feet began to shake.

"Maybe the situation isn't that bad after all!"

At this moment, Xiao Yuer suddenly said, "Look, there are no other living people here except us. As long as we keep it a secret after we get out and don't tell anyone about the situation here, isn't that enough?"

Zhang Jing echoed: "Yes, yes, yes... At worst, we can just not take anything and pretend we were never here!"

"How can it be that easy?"

Lu Ping sneered and said, "A secret is no longer a secret if more than three people know it. It will be leaked one day!"

"Besides, how do you know that our actions tonight are not being watched by the conspirators behind the scenes?"

"Perhaps we have been targeted since the moment we came into contact with the treasure map. No matter whether we leave Emei Peak or Shuzhong County with the treasure, we will become the target of others' hunting."

"You said there's nothing here? They won't believe it!"

"You said there are a lot of jewels and martial arts secrets here, but you only took a copy of "Mohist Sword Technique" and "Mohist Heart Technique". They won't believe you!"

"They will only think that we have obtained the 'Divine Sword Technique' and have hidden the sword technique, or memorized it in our minds, and are planning to find a place to secretly practice and become a peerless master before going out into the martial arts world."

This analysis made everyone's scalp tingle.

They were all teenagers, the oldest of whom was 19-year-old Lin Pingzhi. However, these people's minds might not be as mature as Lu Ping's. How could they accept such alarmist conclusions?
"Then...then what should we do now?"

"What should I do? Since we're taking risks anyway, I'll just take more." Lu Ping laughed, walked forward, picked up a few pieces of jewelry that were easy to carry and looked valuable, and put them in his arms.

At this time, he hated the fact that the system package could not accommodate foreign objects.

"You..." Everyone was stunned upon seeing this and pointed at Lu Ping, speechless.

They couldn't help but wonder: Is the person who is stuffing jewelry into their arms and the person who just analyzed the situation so incisively really the same person?

"You're right. I'll take a few too."

Xiao Yuer couldn't think of a solution to the difficult problem that Lu Ping mentioned, but he felt that if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity now, he would be a bastard among bastards.

Seeing this, several people hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took some jewelry, considering it the gratification of their trip.

However, they did not dare to take more. First, they were afraid of being discovered later, which would increase the possibility of being exposed. Second, carrying these gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies would be inconvenient in fighting if they encountered the enemy.

As for the martial arts secrets, Xiaoyuer chose the Phantom Yin Finger, Tie Xinlan took the Seven Injury Fist and Horizontal Training Vajra, and Zhang Jing picked a book on the cassock to subdue demons.

Murong Jiu didn't get the Mohist secret skills this time because he had obtained them before. Lin Pingzhi also gave up because he was studying the Earth Scroll.

Lu Ping looked around but couldn't find anything stronger than the 'Six Styles of Heaven' and 'Weapon and Armor Martial Arts' that he practiced, so he sneered and threw the secret books back to their original places.
