*Another name for this chapter: The Plan of the Treasure
????It smells like Bai Tza, thought Hsi Wu. It belonged to her.
????Jade's eyes fixed on the pearl and could not turn aside, "Wow, so beautiful. Jackie, are you here for this Black Pearl?"
????"No, Jade." Worried about the curse recorded by the script, Jackie set Jade and Hsi Wu behind him, "I just planned to study the script."
????"Will we take it back?" Jade rolled up her sleeves, wanting to take off the pearl with her hands.
????"No! Jade." Jackie hurriedly pulled Jade back and phoned Uncle, "This pearl is cursed and dangerous. Let Uncle deal with it."
????"Swish!" Came the sound of flying darts.
????Hsi Wu's eyes flashed. He spread his wings and blocked all the darts aiming at him and Jade. Jackie reacted a little slower and hardly avoided the darts after some backflips. But his cell phone was not as lucky, which was pierced through by a dart.
????"Bad day!"
????"It's the Shadowkhan!"
????From the shadows of the temple emerged countless ninjas of Shadowkhan. One of them appeared beside the stone pillar which stored the pearl and snatched it.
????"The Black Pearl!"
????When the pearl was in the ninja's hands, the temple shook once more. Fissures rent the ground and Hsi Wu hurriedly took Jade and flew out of the temple while the ground was devouring Jackie, the ninjas, the Black Pearl, and the temple.
????"Bad day! Bad day! Bad day!"
????"Jackie!"
????In the blink of an eye, the temple could not be seen, only an abyss left.
????"Hsi Wu, hurry, we go to save Jackie!"
????"Jade, Jackie may…"
????"No, Jackie can manage it. He will be okay. We go down!"
????Saying no more, Hsi Wu took Jade and flew down the abyss. He would have also come down for he wanted the Black Pearl, which was also down in the abyss.
????Under the ground of the island was a huge cave, in the middle of which was an underground lake, by which lay the ruin of the temple.
????"Jackie!" Jade's voice echoed back and back in the cave and spread far along the tunnel.
????Hsi Wu did not care about Jackie Chan. He was distinguishing from where the Demon Chi of Bai Tza came.
????I smell it. The pearl is near.
????"Hu!" Coming to the surface of the lake, Jackie made his way to the bank, and then panted, lying on the shore. There was luckily an underground lake or he would have died this time.
????"Jackie! So glad to see you're fine."
????Jade ran to Jackie in haste and Hsi Wu followed her leisurely. A wisp of Demon Chi soundlessly came from his head and sank into the lake.
????The pearl was not with Jackie Chan.
????Jackie looked up at the ruined temple and said regretfully: "Oh, Jade, I destroyed the temple, and lost the Black Pearl."
????The ninjas could still be seen when he just fell but they all disappeared now. They must have taken it away. Alas! Do what you can when it comes. Even if Daolon Wong has the pearl, there will be a way to deal with him.
????What matters is…
????"You are alright after all." Jackie gave Jade and Hsi Wu a big hug, "Now we should return to the ground and consult with Uncle about the plan."
????At the bottom of the lake, a ninja picked up the pearl. He was going into the Realm of Shadows when he was pierced by a sharp claw through his breast and scattered into shadows.
????Hsi Wu took the pearl and smiled contently. He turned into black smoke and left with the pearl.
????It's mine now.
