Ye Zhao, who was originally furious, calmed down instantly. He knew very well that any words would be of no use at this moment. The only way to get the treasure back was to pack up quickly and chase after the group of people with all his strength!

After all, he couldn't just watch the treasure fall into the hands of others, otherwise all his painstaking planning would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoyi said righteously: "Okay, then I will trust you again for now, but if you fail to keep the treasure and it falls into the hands of evil people, don't blame me for breaking up with you! Even if it ends up in a situation where both sides suffer losses and the net is broken, I will make you suffer the consequences!"

Faced with such aggressive intimidation from Ye Zhao, Qing Ning did not care and did not take it to heart; however, after seeing this scene, the two close friends standing nearby stared at Ye Zhao with hostility and vigilance.

"Okay, without further ado, let's pack our bags and set off immediately." In fact, there are not many things to prepare, just a light and comfortable carriage, clothes and bedding that can withstand the severe cold, dry food to fill the stomach, and water to quench thirst. After all, the journey is long and difficult, so it is better to keep everything simple and travel light, and do not carry too many cumbersome things to avoid unexpected events along the way.

Before long, all the necessary items were ready, and they were ready to embark on their journey. The group boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and slowly moved forward. In order to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble, the driver was not someone else, but Ouyang Jingjing and Fang Yuanyuan! Qing Ning sat in the carriage with the three of them.

The road to the snowy mountains was long and arduous. Even if one rode the fastest horse day and night, it would take about three days to reach the destination. Even the best quality horses carefully selected by the city lord's mansion would still take that long.

Along the way, the carriage was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. Ye Zhao's mind was surging like a tide. He kept thinking about where the treasure might be hidden and what the mysterious treasure really was. Zhuo Yi was worried. If the legendary treasure really appeared, it would surely cause countless people to scramble for it. By then, how many innocent lives would be lost? No one knew.

\"Miss Qingning...\"

Zhuo Yi stared at Qing Ning closely, his eyes full of complicated emotions, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start. His lips trembled slightly, opening and closing several times, but in the end no sound came out.

Qing Ning naturally understood Zhuo Yi's inner thoughts. She gently patted Zhuo Yi's arm, gave him a confident smile, and nodded secretly, indicating that he didn't have to worry. Zhuo Yi felt Qing Ning's confidence and felt a little more relaxed, but the worry in his heart was still as heavy as a mountain.

Zhuo Yi felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment. He knew that he was powerless and could only wait silently. He was eager to end the treasure matter as soon as possible so that he could send his sister to an absolutely safe place to ensure that she would not be harmed again. After that, he would do his best to find an opportunity to seek justice for his parents who died tragically.

The deep hatred of the Zhuo family being wiped out was like an extremely sharp dagger, deeply hurting Zhuo Yi's heart. Every night, when he closed his eyes, the tragic scene would appear before his eyes like a nightmare, making him unable to fall asleep. He was filled with endless resentment and anger towards the villain who brutally killed his parents, and he wished he could kill his enemy immediately and let him also taste the pain of losing the most precious thing!

Qing Ning stared into Zhuo Yi's eyes and caught a glimpse of the strong hatred that flashed across his eyes.

Having been in the same room with him these days, she knew very well that he had always been extremely calm and restrained, and had never had the thought of hurting others, let alone mentioning revenge.

However, how could he not want revenge? After all, his family was destroyed and annihilated in a short time! And the perpetrators were only after the illusory and unattainable treasure.

Not only that, this tragedy had far-reaching implications. In addition to the Zhuo family, two other families that were on good terms with them were not spared and also suffered a devastating disaster.

Maybe it was a good thing to take him to the snowy mountains this time! Then, he would be able to see with his own eyes how that person's obsession burst like a soap bubble, and how that person fell into madness step by step. As the saying goes, those who do evil will eventually perish. His retribution will not be too late.

The carriage sped along the winding mountain road, the wheels rolling forward, raising clouds of dust. As they got closer to the snow-capped mountains, the road became more and more rugged. The bumps along the way made everyone in the carriage feel very uncomfortable, but in order to achieve their goals, they resolutely chose to ignore this discomfort.

"The weather is getting colder, so everyone should change into thick clothes quickly! We still have to look for the treasure later. Although we don't have a detailed map to guide the direction, it doesn't mean that we can't find it." Qing Ning whispered to comfort her companions.

"Okay!" As the voice echoed to the ground, everyone quickly put on their heavy clothes.

In a moment, the group was already in the snowy mountain area. The snow here was thick, the air was freezing, and the surrounding temperature dropped to the extreme.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, but they saw that the mountain was steep and the road was rugged and difficult to travel. The carriage could not go any further. In desperation, they had to abandon their carriages and choose to walk instead of driving, trekking across the snow-capped mountains.

At the foot of the mountain, there were two other gorgeous carriages waiting. Judging from their luxury, they must belong to the city lord's mansion!

"There is no time to lose, let's go up the mountain quickly. Remember to be quiet and follow closely, so that we can definitely get a glimpse of the exact location of the treasure." Someone suggested.

The six people walked arduously on the snow-capped mountain, sinking into the deep snow with every step. The surroundings were all white, and everywhere they could see was thick snow and howling cold wind. They walked forward carefully, but the footprints they left behind were soon covered up by the falling snow.

This brought great difficulties to those who were looking for the City Lord's Mansion. Originally, he led everyone to climb the snow mountain in the hope of finding the legendary treasure before others. However, the current situation has become more and more confusing. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the treasure will fall into the hands of others.

Qing Ning looked at Ouyang Jingjing anxiously, with anxious light flashing in her eyes. She winked at him gently, as if conveying some kind of message. Ouyang Jingjing nodded in understanding, indicating that she understood Qing Ning's intention. The two of them had a tacit understanding, as if they had already discussed the next action plan.

"Hey? Look, isn't there a cave over there?" Ouyang Jingjing suddenly shouted excitedly, and pointed to the inconspicuous cave in the high place. At this time, the snow was flying and the wind was cold, making people feel extremely cold and exhausted.

Everyone looked in the direction Ouyang Jingjing pointed, and indeed saw the vague outline of a cave. After some observation, everyone agreed: "Well, it looks like a place to take a rest from the snow."

Ouyang Jingjing thought to herself, if she guessed correctly, according to the intelligence she had received before, the people from the City Lord's Mansion would probably choose to go to this cave to avoid the wind and snow. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel nervous, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Okay, let's go there and take a rest." Zhuo Yi nodded in understanding, indicating that he agreed with Ouyang Jingjing's proposal. So, the six of them took firm and quick steps and moved forward towards the cave on the high ground.

Along the way, they supported and encouraged each other, and trudged through the biting cold and snow. Although the road was rugged and full of dangers, no one had the slightest intention of retreating.
