Sword Among Us Chapter 130: Break Down the Door and Enter
It was as silent as death outside the temple. Not a single person could be found in a circular area of three hundred and thirty feet away from the temple.
There were some Jinchuang Ointments, animal pelts and silver notes that some unlucky players among the nearly one thousand dead had dropped on the ground. They were scattered all over the place around the temple, making it look like a real mess.
Ever since Monk Zhi Heng was angered by the people from the dozen sects, the area had remained deserted. Occasionally, someone would brace themselves and come over to pick up the loot, but they would have their organs crushed with a single silent punch and sent flying into the dark forest. No one knew whether they survived or not.
However, once dozens of players died, the temple returned to a state of quiet.
Even though there were still hundreds of players in the area, all of them only waited for the owner of the brocade box, who had caused them all this trouble, to come out from the temple. They also hoped that Monk Zhi Heng would lose his murderous intent at some point.
After all, there were silver notes everywhere on the ground around the small temple. If they were all added up, they would amount to quite a huge sum.
No one would be able to leave so easily when there was money within reach.
Hence, even though some people left, there were even more who lingered around with greed in their eyes. They paid great attention to the items on the ground, intending to snatch the money the moment Monk Zhi Heng's murderous intent faded away.
No one knew whether it was because the group's determination and sincerity had touched the heavens, but after waiting for more than two hours, the murderous Monk Zhi Heng placed his palms together, looked up at the sky, and called out the name of Buddha before he leapt into the forest like a bird. With a few jumps, he vanished into thin air right in front of countless players' gazes.
They were only stunned for a short few seconds.
Whoosh…
The first person reacted to the situation. He shot to the spot on the empty ground before them with the most silver notes like a bolt of lightning.

He was followed immediately after by the second and third person!
"Get them!"
The players who had hidden in the forest because of their wariness went completely mad. They charged forward like a swarm of bees and used their hands and feet to snatch the silver notes and other resources on the ground while pushing and shoving other people.
"Get lost! I saw this one first!"
The hearts of men were evil, and they would always fight for their own ambitions. Where there were benefits, there would be disputes!
Soon, a dozen players fought against each other because they set their eyes on a few gold notes at the same time. Two people did not even say a single word and just drew their weapons.
"Cut your crap!" Some of the Gate Realm players did not cower as well. They shouted at the top of their voices. "Do you think you're good just because your qi realm is high? Bros, come over here!"
Loud clambering sounds could be heard, and a group of people rushed over from everywhere. They stunned the two Blessed Realm players who had felt that they were better than the others earlier.
A few seconds later, the duo laughed viciously at the same time.
"You're thinking about comparing numbers with us?!"
"Yeah, we are, and we have more people than you, so what?!" The Gate Realm players were very smug. While they laughed coldly, one bent his back to pick up the gold notes on the ground.
However, before he could even touch the gold notes, a fierce wind formed by blades sliced through his neck.
Splat!
Blood spilled out on the ground. The Gate Realm player who had been very smug earlier was beheaded. His head rolled on the ground and stopped with its eyes facing the gold notes that had been stained with blood and now looked incredibly eye-catching.
The moment he died, the crowd instantly erupted with rage. They said nothing and went to battle against the Blessed Realm player who had murdered their companion.
But they did not notice that before they could cause any conflict, five players had already quietly snuck up behind them from different directions.
Right after the Blessed Realm player killed the Gate Realm player, the five people raised their weapons and brought them down!

"Careful!"
"There's someone behind— AH!"
Blood flew in the air, and screams rose from everywhere.
The silence outside the small temple was instantly broken.
The same matter happened in a few other spots around the small temple.
For a period of time, the situation was incredibly chaotic.
Quite a number of players laughed madly. They used the opportunity created by the chaotic battle between a few different factions to quietly loot the silver notes and various equipment on the ground, but their fortune did not last long. Soon, they were noticed by some people, who grew envious.
"How dare you snatch my stuff?!"
"Die!"
The players who had wanted to loot the items during the chaos were killed or injured by people who turned around with the intention to slaughter them. Those who were injured were then dragged into the battlefield.
Because of it, everyone was in danger. When they saw people killing others without even differentiating whether their targets were friend or foe, they started attacking as well when they saw someone appear beside them. The situation immediately became even more chaotic.
Of course, not all the people paid attention to the small benefits before them.
The members of Vast Ocean Sword Sect were gathered together. The group, in which everyone was dressed in plain white, had already bypassed the three hundred and thirty feet of empty ground before the temple and arrived outside the door to the temple.
Their goal was the brocade box!
However, when they arrived outside the temple, they stopped warily.
They were still intimidated by the terrifying strength and murderous methods Monk Zhi Heng had used previously. Hence, even though Monk Zhi Heng had left right before their eyes, they were still wary of the mysterious temple. They did not dare to immediately knock on the door.
The next moment, two more groups arrived at the steps of the temple.
They also did not dare to act recklessly. They stared at the temple door as if it was some kind of fearsome beast!
"Together?" someone suggested again.
This time, no one showed much enthusiasm for the idea.
This was because when they last worked together, over a dozen sects were annihilated, and they were among the people who were killed once by the mysterious monk when he used an orthodox Buddhist Lion's Roar.
Before they could be certain of the situation in the temple, they did not dare to rashly open the dilapidated door. Who knew what would be inside to welcome them?
When they turned around to cast a glance at the chaotic and noisy situation behind them, someone finally nodded and agreed to the temporary alliance by the three sects.
Each of them sent a person to open the door at the same time.
Creeeekkkkk…
A dull and piercing sound rang. It sounded like the bell in a temple, and it miraculously affected all the players in the area.
It included the people who were still fighting. They stopped whatever they were doing and retreated to the side. Their gazes were fixed on the temple door that had been opened.
Then, they remembered there was something else even more important!
The brocade box!
The spoils of war that were littered all over the ground were instantly forgotten by many people. The players quickly abandoned the items on the ground and headed to the stairs.
However, once they were sure that there was no one inside, the first to enter the temple were naturally the three groups that had formed a temporary alliance. They brought out their maps and rushed inside to the spot where the red mark was.
People flipped over the walls and entered to rush at the hall.
"The brocade box is in the room to the left!"
The crowd surged into the hall that could not be considered large. The lighting inside was not good, but they could see everything clearly in an instant. The few people in the lead were very careful and smart. They did not immediately rush into the small room to the left.
They waited until they had enough people surrounding the room that not a single fly could escape, then the person at the forefront activated his qi realm, equipped himself in full gear, took two steps forward, and suddenly raised his leg to kick down the small door with a ferocious momentum.
Crack!
Pieces of shattered wood shot into the room like hidden weapons.
But there was not a single movement inside.
At that moment, a blue-robed player walked out from the room to the right and mixed into the group of players without a single sound. He did not attract any attention.
