Poyang Lake, the largest lake outside Poyang City, is surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush grass, with picturesque scenery.
However, there are few visitors to the lake, primarily because the Tianlang Gang, a notorious group of martial artists with three members at the Tongmai realm, has established control in the area.
On this particular midday, the sun blazed fiercely in the sky, and the area around Poyang Lake was deserted, with only the flowers and greenery shining in the sunlight.
"Plop..."
Suddenly, a faint splash echoed from beneath the surface of the lake, and two dark heads emerged from the water. They quickly swam to the shore at the fastest possible speed.
These were two young men, both appearing to be around eighteen years old. One was named Hunter Liu, and the other was Liu Huihui. Both wore serious expressions, as if preparing to undertake an important task.
Hunter Liu, clad in white, was already soaked, with a delicate yet sharp face. His eyebrows were like swords, giving him an imposing presence. Liu Huihui, on the other hand, appeared more ordinary, his face marked with worry. Seeing Hunter Liu continuing to move forward at a rapid pace only intensified his concern.
"Brother Hunter, in another two miles, we'll encounter people from the Tianlang Gang. You can't really be heading to their headquarters, can you?" Liu Huihui's expression was a little bitter. Although he had a faint suspicion, he still hoped he was wrong.
Hunter Liu's face was solemn as he quickly climbed ashore, his steps fast and light. Without turning his head, he replied indifferently, "I told you, you don't have to come with me. You insisted on following. If you're really worried, then wait for me here."
Liu Huihui hurried to catch up, walking alongside Hunter Liu and saying, "Brother Hunter, even though the Tianlang Gang set their eyes on the graveyard in our village, didn't they get chased off by the old village chief this morning? Why are you still worried?"
Liu Huihui had asked this question many times, but Hunter Liu always remained silent. However, this time, when Liu Huihui asked, Hunter Liu paused for a moment before continuing forward. He spoke, "The old village chief did indeed chase away the Tianlang Gang's deputy leader, but do you know what level of cultivation their leader has? Let me tell you, if I'm not mistaken, the Tianlang Gang is preparing to head to our village and force their way into the graveyard to seize a certain treasure that might be hidden there."
Liu Huihui furrowed his brow, confused. "How do you know about this? Also, the graveyard in our village only has the remains of the dead. What treasure could there possibly be?"
Hunter Liu shook his head and didn't offer an explanation, but his pace quickened once again. He moved faster than most people could run.
The reason Hunter Liu didn't explain was that he didn't want to worry Liu Huihui too much. After the old village chief had driven off the Tianlang Gang, Hunter Liu had secretly followed one of their members, captured him, and extracted some crucial intelligence.
Indeed, the graveyard in their village concealed an unknown treasure, which had been confirmed by both the Tianlang Gang and the powerful Skull Gang from Poyang City. Both groups were determined to obtain it at all costs.
Eighteen years of peaceful living were shattered by this mysterious treasure. Hunter Liu was filled with anger, but what made him even angrier was the fact that the notorious Skull Gang planned to slaughter all three hundred villagers of Liusong Village after acquiring the treasure, to ensure that the secret didn't leak out.
