915: Chapter 904 Underground Anomaly!!

Seeing that Disciple bringing two strangers barging straight into the Forbidden Ground, those two Elders instantly flew into a rage: "Who is this person? How dare they trespass into the heavily guarded treasury of our Chihuang Valley!"

"Elder, he is from beyond the realm... Lord Qin Yan!"

That Disciple hurriedly corrected himself, his voice trembling.

Upon hearing the two words "Qin Yan", the pupils of those two Elders shook violently.

The location they guarded was situated at the deepest part of Chihuang Valley, completely isolated from the outside world, so they had not witnessed the earth-shattering battle just now with their own eyes.

But they knew that the various powerhouses in the valley had long joined forces with Penglai Island to set up an inescapable net, preparing to surround and kill that extraterrestrial fiend who dared to provoke the entire Eastern Region.

"Where are the other Elders in my valley?" One of the Elders forcefully suppressed the unease in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Dead."

Qin Yan said indifferently.

Hearing this, the expressions of those two Elders changed drastically: "How is that possible, you—"

Before they could finish their words, their bodies were crushed by a giant hand intertwined with Yin and Yang, turning into two clusters of crimson blood mist that bloomed silently in front of the treasury door.

The Disciple on the side witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and when he looked at Qin Yan again, the fear in those eyes was so thick it was almost overflowing.

His entire body trembled violently, and even his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Qin Yan did not spare him another glance, only saying indifferently: "Let's keep going."

That Disciple hurriedly fished out the treasury's key from beside the corpses of the two Elders, and with trembling hands, slowly opened the heavy red bronze gates of the treasury.

Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli stepped into it.

The moment they entered the treasury, Qin Yan's eyes involuntarily lit up.

The internal space of the entire treasury was extremely vast, with dozens of fist-sized flame spirit pearls embedded on the dome, illuminating the entire treasury as bright as day.

The Spiritual Qi inside the treasury was so dense it was close to materializing, and stalk after stalk of grade-seven Spirit Medicine of excellent quality was meticulously planted in independent spirit soil pools.

Faint spiritual light circulated on the leaves of every stalk of Spirit Medicine, exuding a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

"Scarlet Flame Drooling Grass, Nine-Petaled Fire Lotus, Earth-Heart Lava Ginseng..."

Qin Yan's gaze swept rapidly over each stalk of Spirit Medicine, involuntarily reciting their names aloud.

In his mind, he had already rapidly calculated what Medicinal Pills these Spirit Medicines should be refined into respectively to maximize their medicinal efficacy.

Besides Spirit Medicine, the treasury was also neatly stocked with various Cultivation resources such as spirit weapons, spirit talismans, Medicinal Pills, and Martial Skill secret manuals.

However, the vast majority of these resources were merely conventional grade-seven items, which were not of particularly great help to the current Qin Yan.

"However, with these spirit weapons, plus the trophy spirit weapons I previously seized from those few battles, moyuan spirit weapon's growth will never lack resources again."

After these few battles, Qin Yan's harvest of other types of resources might have been limited, but the quantity of captured spirit weapons was quite considerable.

From the two Beast Kings of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts to Jinchan of the Vajra Temple, from over a hundred Grandmasters of the Eastern Region allied forces to the two top-tier factions of Chihuang Valley and Penglai Island.

In every battle, a large number of spirit weapons were pocketed by him.

The patterns on the spear shaft of the current moyuan spirit weapon had quietly climbed to over three thousand.

The reason there were only three thousand was, on one hand, that Moyuan's own devouring and refining speed was limited after all, making it impossible to devour all the captured spirit weapons in one go.

On the other hand, the greater the number of patterns on a spirit weapon, the greater the difficulty of subsequent improvements.

Especially that chasm-like threshold from nine thousand patterns to ten thousand patterns, which was even harder than ascending to heaven.

With a wave of Qin Yan's large hand, all the resources in the treasury along with those spirit weapons were completely gathered into the Blood Demon Nest.

Just as he was about to turn and leave the treasury, Huang Jiuli suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Qin Yan, wait."

Qin Yan paused his steps, turning his head to look at Huang Jiuli: "What's wrong?"

"There is an abnormality below this."

At this moment, the Phoenix True Fire around Huang Jiuli's body actually began to rise uncontrollably on its own.

She could clearly sense that deep underground in this treasury, an extremely strong and pure Phoenix aura was dormant.

That aura produced some kind of indescribable resonance with the Bloodline within her body.

Causing a trace of palpitation to ripple through the depths of her Soul.

Seeing Huang Jiuli point towards the ground, the Disciple's pupils shrank abruptly.

And the change in the other party's eyes did not escape Qin Yan's notice.

Qin Yan instantly knew there was something fishy going on here.

"This is somewhat interesting."

Qin Yan chuckled.

With his current massive Mental Energy of five hundred and ninety-nine heh, even under active probing, he had completely failed to detect any abnormality beneath this treasury regarding the changes underground.

To be able to hide one's aura to the extent that even he couldn't perceive it, the secret hidden beneath was definitely not simple.

Qin Yan chuckled lightly, letting his gaze fall upon the Disciple who was already scared ashen-faced.

"Talk. What on earth is in this underground? Think it through before answering—this might be your only chance to survive in this lifetime."

Although Qin Yan's tone clearly carried a smile, it made the Disciple feel an unprecedented threat of death.

The psychological defense line of that Disciple completely collapsed at this moment, dropping to the ground with a thud, and saying with a trembling voice: "I am also unclear about what specifically is in this underground; I only know an ancient rumor. It is said that this place is the starting place where our Chihuang Valley rose to prominence. Countless years ago, the Founding Ancestral Master of our Chihuang Valley obtained some kind of ancient Legacy related to the Phoenix right here underground, and only then created the subsequent Chihuang Valley. But ever since then, this underground place has been listed as the Sect's highest Forbidden Ground, and only successive Valley Masters and Grand Elders are qualified to enter it; no one else is allowed to approach within half a step."

Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of strong interest in each other's eyes.

An ancient Legacy related to the Phoenix, capable of allowing Chihuang Valley to rise from nothing into a top-tier faction of the Eastern Region—the Opportunity hidden beneath this ground was probably far more precious than the entire treasury combined.

Thinking of this, a flash of light appeared in Qin Yan's hand, and the moyuan spirit weapon instantly appeared in his palm.

Seeing Qin Yan suddenly pull out his weapon, the Disciple nearby was so scared he almost pissed himself on the spot.

Could this God of Slaughter be planning to kill the donkey after it's done milling?

However, he was really overthinking it. If Qin Yan truly wanted to kill him, why would he need to use a spirit weapon? A single sentence would suffice.

Only to see Qin Yan gripping the moyuan spirit weapon with both hands, infusing his entire body's Qi and blood power into the spear shaft, and then fiercely thrusting down towards the ground beneath his feet.

"Boom!"

A muffled, loud sound reverberated throughout this treasury.

However, after the light dissipated, that patch of ground was actually completely intact, without even a trace of a crack appearing.

Seeing this scene, instead of showing disappointment, those deep eyes of Qin Yan flashed with an increasingly intense interest.
