Is the information accurate?
"No problem, the Nine Yin Manual is in this Sutra Repository."
"But this library is so big, how are we going to find it?"
"We'll have to rely on luck. Let's split up and search."
"Hehe, that's fine. Let's make it clear first, whoever finds it gets to keep it."
"It's a deal."
Although these people also came for the Nine Yin Manual, their information was clearly less detailed than that of the group that had just entered. They only knew that the Nine Yin Manual was hidden in this scripture pavilion, but they did not know its exact location.
"Go in from the second floor, then split up to search."
Crackling sounds!
That's the sound of wood chips flying everywhere.
The open screen window on the fifth floor is on the south side of the tower, and it's hard to spot without walking around the library.
These five or six people leaped directly to the second floor of the library. They randomly found a screen window, violently broke down the door, as if they were certain no one would interfere.
"Boss, there's some noise coming from the Scripture Pavilion."
"Oh no, someone's trying to get there first. We need to get there quickly."
The last group to speak were the last to arrive at the Sutra Repository. When they arrived, they only saw a large hole in the gauze window on the second floor of the Sutra Repository tower. The first and second groups had already gone inside.
"Damn it, we're too late. Let's go in and check."
The leader's face darkened when he saw the broken screen window outside the tower. Three or four men immediately jumped up to the second floor and crawled through the hole.
The Sutra Repository has five floors.
After the first group of people entered, the leader was clearly very familiar with the layout of the Sutra Repository. He entered the Sutra Repository but did not touch the ancient books on the shelves.
After passing three bookshelves, I walked behind the three statues of the Three Pure Ones and pressed a button below the statue of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
Click.
With this press, a hidden compartment on the wooden floor in front of the Three Pure Ones statue suddenly opened, revealing a book wrapped in silk.
The leader picked up the item from the hidden compartment, unwrapped the silk, and found an ancient book inside with the four characters "Nine Yin Manual" prominently displayed on the page.
The leader nodded and said softly, "We've got it. Let's make a scene, then we'll retreat."
It's strange that after obtaining the Nine Yin Manual, this group of people didn't think about leaving secretly as soon as possible, but instead wanted to make a fuss.
The group walked very lightly and without making a sound, preparing to walk to the open screen window.
"Who is it?"
"Who are you?"
"Leave the Nine Yin Manual to me."
Just then, a man in black suddenly jumped up the stairs from the fourth floor and was momentarily stunned when he saw the seven or eight similarly dressed black people on the fifth floor.
Then, with a quick glance, he noticed that among the seven or eight people, one of them was holding an ancient book, with the words "True Scripture" faintly visible.
The man in black who had just arrived became excited as soon as he saw the words "true scripture". He lunged forward, his arm trembled, and he threw a punch straight at the man holding the scripture.
"careful."
The man holding the Nine Yin Manual turned around, twisted his waist, raised his arm, and used his elbow to stabilize the fist.
Bang!
The fist and elbow collided with a crisp sound.
The moment the black-clad man holding the scripture made contact with the other's fist with his elbow, his eyes blinked several times, and a hint of pain appeared on his face. There were seven different forces in the other's fist, which rushed into his body the instant they made contact.
"Seven Injury Fist, you're from the Kongtong Sect."
“Talking nonsense, leaving behind scriptures.”
The man who unleashed the Seven Injury Fist ignored everyone else, staring intently at the scripture in the other man's hand, and threw several punches in succession.
"Help me stop him and protect me so I can get through first."
The person holding the scripture clearly did not want to get entangled. After taking a punch from the other party, he turned around as if to get rid of him.
The sounds of fierce fighting echoed across the fifth floor of the Sutra Repository.
"There's some noise upstairs."
The earlobes of the men searching on the second and third floors twitched suddenly. The next moment, they simultaneously chose to abandon their search on this floor and, no longer able to conceal their footsteps, rushed directly towards the stairwell leading to the fifth floor.
The group of people arrived at the fifth floor almost simultaneously.
The man who used the Seven Injury Fist was being dragged away by six or seven men dressed in black, while the scripture holder was already preparing to leave.
"The one who stopped the book, the Nine Yin Manual is in his hands."
Seeing three or four people suddenly appear downstairs, the man who was using the Seven Injury Fist became very excited and immediately shouted.
"The Nine Yin Manual has been found?"
