Chapter 82 -69 Strange Treasure Emerges_1

Bagua City.

A luxurious mansion with an internal courtyard, complete with little bridges over flowing water, and pavilions and verandas aplenty.

With a short blade, Ghost Howling, Dong Tianze slit the throat of a female cultivator from the Raging Sun Sect, frowning as he waited for her soul spirit to be sucked in by the Ghost Howling.

But the moment the female cultivator drew her last breath, the stone slabs beneath Bagua City absorbed her soul spirit, and in an instant, it was gone.

“They’re all the same.”

A hint of puzzlement shone through Dong Tianze’s ruthless eyes as he wiped clean the bloodstains on Ghost Howling with the clothes of the female cultivator.

Beside him stood a woman with a cold demeanor, silently watching his actions without disturbing him.

In the elegantly refurbished courtyard, bodies were strewn haphazardly, filling up the ground.

All the corpses belonged to the Raging Sun Sect.

Despite taking refuge here, they were found by Dong Tianze who, leading five cultivators from the Yin Spirit Temple, executed them all.

Leng Yuan, who had been watching for a while, couldn’t help but finally ask, “Dong, why are you so fixated on hunting down people from the Raging Sun Sect?”

At over twenty years old, she was just an ordinary disciple within the Yin Spirit Temple, yet she was the leader of this group.

At least she had been.

Upon meeting Dong Tianze in Bagua City and seeing the Ghost Commanded Token in his hand, Leng Yuan immediately handed over her leadership position to him.

The ruthlessly efficient and personally powerful Dong Tianze quickly won the trust of the others.

Leng Yuan, who had stepped down to become second-in-command, was eager to rush to the city center, but Dong Tianze had other ideas, searching for living targets to hunt down along the way.

Leng Yuan had the feeling that Dong Tianze was looking for someone, which is why he was not in a hurry to travel.

On their journey, the number of teams that had fallen to Dong Tianze, including the one in the courtyard, had reached six.

Dong Tianze remained unhurried, seemingly determined to hunt down every hidden team along the streets to his satisfaction.

“Mind your own business.”

Dong Tianze’s murderous gaze drifted over Leng Yuan’s delicate figure, saying coldly, “Only by following me closely can you possibly survive until the end.”

Chilled by his look, Leng Yuan shivered and dared not ask any more questions.

Suddenly, Dong Tianze became alert and looked into the distance from the courtyard.

Atop a very tall stone hall, there stood a person holding a liuli bottle and dangling a reed pipe from his mouth, as if he had been secretly watching them for a long time.

With a cold snort, Dong Tianze leaped onto the rooftop like a falcon, ready to pursue with the “Nine Curves Ghost Charm” technique.

“Crazy bastard.”

Li Jie, who had been startled by him, turned his head and walked away, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

He enjoyed watching the excitement from afar, but he did not want to get involved in trouble too early and had no intention of tangling with Dong Tianze.

“That five-man squad from that district, along with this lunatic leading the Yin Spirit Temple, I wonder who will survive in the end,” Li Jie muttered to himself.

…

On another broad street, a group of five people moved forward cautiously.

“The soul spirits of those who die in Bagua City vanish into the walls and stone pavements instantly, which is very strange,” Luo Hongyan mused suddenly as they walked.

When Jian Yaoyang and the others died, she had planned to refine the Spirit Evil, so while Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping were idly chatting and drinking at the door, she hadn’t called them in.

At that time, Su Meng, who was afraid of bloodshed, had stayed upstairs, which gave Luo Hongyan a prime opportunity.

Regrettably, before she could act, Jian Yaoyang and his companions’ soul spirits vanished into the ground and disappeared in an instant.

Noticing something off, she observed her surroundings all the way, even cautiously releasing her divine sense to detect, but she couldn’t sense the presence of any soul spirits or ghosts.

In such a brutal battlefield, where cries of killing were everywhere, the lack of numerous emerging soul spirits was indeed abnormal.

“We’re not those guys from the Yin Spirit Temple; we don’t need to collect ghosts of the dead,” remarked Zhou Qingchen carefreely, not bothered by such matters, and commended, “Pang Jian, have you gained some insight into the Ground Flame Spell?”

“Mm,” grunted the taciturn Pang Jian, ignoring their conversation and familiarizing himself with the way the Ground Flame Spell was unleashed.

From time to time, fire force with a hint of sulfur emitted from his fingertips, and it was clear to everyone that he was constantly cultivating.

“Bagua City is forever bright, and without the sun, moon, and stars for reference, it’s hard to tell how much time has passed. But you were able to unleash the fierce flame force with the Ground Flame Spell while we were sorting those items, which shows that you’re well suited to this spirit spell,” Zhou Qingchen said with a smile, affirming him.

Then, the young master of the Zhou Family glanced at Luo Hongyan and commented, “The spirit spell you selected for him is quite good.”

Luo Hongyan replied indifferently, “Less talk, more walking.”

Zhou Qingchen hummed and said no more.

“I have a feeling that this Bagua City, which disappeared for three thousand years, must have been secretly opened several times!” Han Duping observed the buildings on both sides of the street, his small, bean-like eyes filled with contemplation, “Without living people, it would be fine, but inside those stone buildings on both sides, there’s not even a single valuable spiritual material.”

He had searched before, and each stone building lacked anything peculiar left behind, which was a disappointment to him.

“Ning, according to you, Bagua City should be filled with a dazzling array of treasures. If you haven’t deceived us, then someone else must have come before us and already cleaned out all the precious items,” Han Duping said, sighing with dejection.

Luo Hongyan, too lazy to explain further, simply said, “The legends of Bagua City I’ve heard from others, and this is also my first time coming here.”

“We’ve discovered nothing so far on our way, and if we reach the city center like this, only to return to Wulan Lake through the Mirror Tunnel, wouldn’t it be very unjust?” Han Duping sighed despondently.

Since Jian Yaoyang and the others were poor, they had nothing of value, and even if all their possessions were given to him, it was still far from enough to collect the materials he needed for his Bone Severing Marrow Washing.

Without an unexpected windfall, if he couldn’t amass a huge fortune in Bagua City, he would have to wait for Zhou Qingchen to get settled in Red Mountain and slowly gather Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Materials for him.

“Whoosh!”

A striking, wide divine light, as if to respond to Han Duping’s words, suddenly burst forth from the center of the city.

The street ahead was vast and empty, making the divine light all the more blinding!

It even pierced through the sky of Bagua City, stretching into the unknown and making everyone’s gaze follow in awe.

Within the resplendent divine light, it seemed like some ancient copper boxes, dazzling robes, and glittering weapons were floating.

Numerous divine weapons and strange treasures quietly appeared within the divine light, dazzling the onlookers who longed to be amidst them, reaching out to capture each one.

Han Duping was dumbfounded: “This…”

He paused, then quickly clasped his hands towards the radiant sky and pleaded, “God Spirit above, I really wasn’t questioning you, I was just… just speaking off the cuff, haha!”

Luohong Smoke’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up; she was looking at a white jade porcelain bottle in the divine light, floating up and down, radiating a lustrous glow.

Inside the white jade porcelain bottle was a drop of light blue blood rolliing incessantly within the bottle as it bobbed up and down.

Within the light blue blood, a dimly visible ice-clear lotus flower seemed to bloom in splendid isolation.

“Crystal-clear Snow Lotus!”

She saw the treasure that could help her refine her flesh and blood body. She danced excitedly in that Void Sea of Consciousness,

“It looks like, it looks like many strange treasures have appeared!”

Su Meng clenched her fists, her face excited and flushed, wishing she could rush over and snatch them immediately.

“There really are amazing treasures!”

Zhou Qingchen couldn’t help but exclaim as well.

Pang Jian suddenly turned around, looking back toward the direction of the North Gate from where they had come, and dimly saw that the light there was fading fast.

He pondered for a moment, his expression gradually turning ugly.

He could imagine that the boundless darkness of the Fifth Realm was spreading from the North Gate toward Bagua City, gradually consuming the light.

That sour, putrid Filth Evil Power would surely come flooding in with the darkness, engulfing the entire Bagua City.

“Darkness is invading Bagua City!”

Pang Jian said in a grave voice.

Upon hearing this, the people who were shocked by the pillar of light in the center of the city quickly turned their heads to look behind, and they too saw the light fading behind them.

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

On the streets in front of them, shadows suddenly darted out from both sides, racing toward the center of the city.

Han Duping turned pale with fright.

Only then did he realize that on their journey ahead, there were actually more than a dozen teams like Jian Yaoyang’s!

If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the towering column of light, they wouldn’t have known how many perils and ambuscades they would have faced.

“It seems we are the last to enter. After us, it seems no one else appeared at the North Gate,” Zhou Qingchen said.

“Li Jie was the last one to enter,” Pang Jian interjected calmly.

He immediately recalled the guy who was leisurely watching the scene while sipping Green Fruit Juice from a tower window, “I forgot to tell you, while we were fighting Jian Yaoyang’s party to the death, Li Jie was watching from above.”

“Li Jie, calamity. This disaster in Bagua City, could it be due to him?” Su Meng’s bright eyes lit up with a curious glow.

“How can that be?”

Han Duping shook his head and shouted incredulously.

“Let’s not waste any more time.”

Pang Jian tightened his grip on the Dragon Pattern Spear and walked ahead first, saying, “We are already behind. If darkness invades from outside the city and we don’t reach the center quickly, we’ll be the first to be engulfed by the darkness.”

“Let’s go!”

No one dared to hesitate any longer.

…

At the same time.

The octagonal Bagua City, with eight wide streets leading to the city center, the same thing was happening on each street.

Countless teams of Cultivators from the Third Realm and Second Realm, because of the column of light that had suddenly shot up, and having seen the treasures emerge, they no longer hid their presence.

Nearly a thousand figures shot out from the buildings on both sides of different streets, heading straight for the center of Bagua City.

“Dong, don’t act rashly next! I’ve spotted a few ferocious people from the Second Realm!”

Leng Yuan stood on the street, seeing Dong Tianze’s murderous look and all the figures suddenly appearing ahead, and urgently implored, “You have to believe me, we can’t afford to provoke those few individuals, don’t get us all killed.”

“Afraid of death? Then you shouldn’t have set foot on the path of cultivation!”

Dong Tianze scoffed.

He didn’t care at all about her warning and snorted, “The highest realm among them is just the Marrow Cleansing Realm, nothing to fear. Either I, Dong Tianze, will die here, or they will!”

After a pause, he looked ahead coldly and shouted, “Pang Jian, I truly hope you also made it in!”
