Chapter 10: The Two Surprised People, Products from the Modern Era

He Sandao glanced at the conveyor belt, though he didn't seem particularly surprised.

"According to my men's reports, this object would operate on its own a few days ago, which was quite miraculous. It seems to have stopped running now."

After saying this, He Sandao headed into the abandoned mine.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly followed. Only the two of them entered the abandoned mine, while the rest of the bandits waited outside.

Upon entering the abandoned mine, they saw the conveyor belt from outside connecting to the interior, extending deep into the mine until it reached a stone door.

He Sandao said, "This must be where that Chen Feng resides."

The two then arrived in front of the stone door, which was reinforced with an iron lock. They had never seen a lock of this kind before.

"This lock..." Jiang Xiao was surprised once again.

He Sandao didn't speak; instead, he drew his long saber, channeled his *gangqi*, and slashed at the lock on the stone door.

Sparks flew the moment the blade made contact with the lock, and the iron lock snapped in two.

"It’s just a lock made of Flame Sun Stone, though the forging technique is somewhat peculiar."

He Sandao sheathed his saber, pushed open the stone door, and entered the secret chamber.

The moment they stepped inside, both men were stunned.

Most of the things in the chamber were things they had never seen in their lives.

Modern sofas, beds, tables, chairs, and all sorts of electrical appliances.

"What... what are these things?" A look of shock appeared on Jiang Xiao's face.

He Sandao walked over to a table, on which sat a tablet computer.

This was something Chen Feng usually used to watch movies and read novels when he had nothing to do.

As soon as He Sandao touched the tablet with his hand, the screen instantly lit up.

He was so startled that he retreated a few steps, holding his long saber in front of his chest.

After a moment, seeing that the tablet remained still, he lowered his saber.

Just now, He Sandao had thought this was a magical artifact of an immortal. After all, something that could emit light was very similar to the legendary artifacts of immortals.

Rumor had it that some immortal artifacts could attack on their own, which was why he had been extra cautious.

Seeing that the tablet was only glowing and posed no danger, Jiang Xiao also stepped forward. He picked up the tablet and examined it closely.

On the screen were rows of text—the very novel Chen Feng hadn't finished reading last time.

"There is writing on this, though I don't know what language it is."

Jiang Xiao's face was filled with excitement.

Although he didn't know what this was, there was no doubt that it was an object of an immortal.

It was highly likely that the methods of the immortals were recorded on it.

He Sandao spoke up, "Brother Jiang, let's leave this here for now. We can discuss how to divide it later."

He Sandao offered a reminder.

Jiang Xiao smiled and put the tablet down; he knew He Sandao was warning him.

To be honest, if it weren't for He Sandao's formidable strength, he would have already been tempted to kill him and seize the treasure. Every item here looked like something only an immortal could possess.

The two quickly looked around the secret chamber, but they didn't recognize most of the items.

"Brother He, that Chen Feng must have discovered some immortal's cave dwelling, and these things were all obtained from there."

Jiang Xiao voiced his speculation; it was the only thing he could think of.

"Hmm, that is indeed possible."

He Sandao replied, then walked over to Chen Feng's bed to search it.

There was a pack of cigarettes at the head of the bed, but nothing else.

He opened the cigarette packaging and sniffed it, but He Sandao looked puzzled; he couldn't tell what it was.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao spoke up: "Brother He, I will only take this glowing tablet, and everything else will be yours. How about that?"

Jiang Xiao had his eyes set on the tablet.

Not only could it glow, but it also contained text; its value was immeasurable.

He Sandao sneered, "Brother Jiang, you are quite the schemer. This is likely the most valuable item here; the other things are strange, but they don't hold much value."

Naturally, He Sandao would not let Jiang Xiao have the tablet.

"Then what does Brother He propose?" Jiang Xiao's expression darkened.

He Sandao immediately said, "That Chen Feng is still alive. It is too early to talk about division. Let's deal with Chen Feng first, and leave the things here for now."

Hearing He Sandao's proposal, Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded.

They did indeed need to find Chen Feng first.

The two then exited the abandoned mine.

He Sandao ordered his men to guard the entrance of the abandoned mine, then walked over to a group of Xingfeng Sect martial artists.

At this moment, the Xingfeng Sect martial artists were all tied up and kneeling on the ground.

Every one of them had a look of terror on their face.

Their bodies were covered in bruises and wounds, clearly the result of a brutal beating.

He Sandao asked one of the bandits

"Have you interrogated anything out of them?"

The bandit immediately reported respectfully

"Chief, these people don't know where Chen Feng went."

Hearing this, He Sandao's expression remained unchanged

"Kill five of them first, hang their heads at the gate of the Xingfeng Sect, and spread the news."

He Sandao's plan was simple: kill a few Xingfeng Sect members every day and spread the word.

As long as Chen Feng cared, he would surely show up.

The bandit lackey nodded immediately, then drew his blade and headed toward several of the Xingfeng Sect martial artists.

The Xingfeng Sect martial artists immediately cried out for mercy, but it was to no avail.

Soon, five heads were severed.

As soon as the blood appeared, it was all absorbed by He Sandao's Blood Demon Saber.

Seeing the tragic death of their companions, one Xingfeng Sect martial artist cried out in terror

"I know how to find Chen Feng! I know how to find him! Chief, spare my life! Spare my life!"

Hearing this, He Sandao looked at the martial artist.

Several lackeys immediately hauled the man up.

Jiang Xiao was the first to walk up to the martial artist and ask: "How do we find him?"

At this moment, he was even more desperate than He Sandao to find Chen Feng and ask him about the items in the secret chamber.

The Xingfeng Sect martial artist said with a trembling voice

"Although I don't know where Chen Feng is, the person he trusts most is Wang Hu. He is Chen Feng's confidant; he definitely knows where Chen Feng is..."

The Xingfeng Sect martial artist quickly told them everything about Wang Hu.

He had been on good terms with Wang Hu in the Xingfeng Sect, and Wang Hu had taken good care of him.

But now that his own life was at stake, he had no choice but to betray Wang Hu.

"Where is he?" Jiang Xiao asked.

The Xingfeng Sect martial artist immediately replied: "He went home. I know where he lives, I'll take you there!"

He Sandao said to several of his bandits who were at the seventh level of the Houtian realm

"You lot, take some men and go grab that Wang Hu."

The Black Wind Stronghold had seven or eight martial artists at the seventh level of the Houtian realm or higher; taking down a Wang Hu would be no problem.

After receiving their orders, the bandits took a group of men and left.

Inside the secret chamber, a ripple like water slowly emerged, and Chen Feng's figure materialized.

He was carrying a large bag in his hand.

After finishing the trade with Jack, Chen Feng had found a remote place and used the scroll to return to the scroll world.

He intended to send the equipment to the scroll world first, then return to the modern world to head back to his country.

Chen Feng still didn't feel at ease leaving the scroll in his own factory, and he had no way to bring the scroll with him to the scroll world.
