266: Chapter 266 Soul Search and Annihilation! The Terrifying Red Eyes of the Seventh Floor!

Pure Yang True Fire followed his fingers, crazily drilling into the Old Celestial Master's skull.

The pain of Soul Search was even more tragic than death by a thousand cuts.

The Old Celestial Master's whole body twitched violently, his facial features completely distorted and deformed.

A dignified Golden Core Stage Great Perfection Cultivator was now like a toad with its tail stepped on, letting out hair-raising wails.

The Soul Search lasted for a full three minutes.

The thousand-year secrets hidden in the Old Celestial Master's mind were displayed within Su Yang's Divine Sense like a movie.

These ox-nosed old Taoists, who claimed to be from prestigious righteous Sects, had committed countless acts of debauchery and villainy behind the scenes.

Plundering, killing for treasure—the foundation accumulated over a thousand years had all been secretly transferred to a folded space in the heart of the Zhongnan Mountain.

"So it's hidden in the Zhongnan Mountain."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Su Yang's mouth as he suddenly applied force with his right hand.

"Bang!"

The Old Celestial Master's head exploded on the spot like a ripe watermelon.

The Pure Yang True Fire instantly devoured the remains completely.

Only a simple and ancient emerald thumb ring remained.

Su Yang beckoned with his hand, and the ring landed steadily in his palm.

Witnessing the tragic death of their alliance leader, the hundreds of Cultivators lining up to cripple their own cultivation were scared out of their wits.

For a moment, the wilderness was filled with the sounds of vomiting blood from self-shattering Dantians and painful wails.

The Cultivators who had become cripples scrambled and supported each other as they fled the camp, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

What remained on the spot was a mountain of spoils.

Qin Xueji, wearing a slim-fit flight attendant uniform and black silk high heels, immediately entered work mode.

Holding a large Storage Pouch, she moved efficiently, gathering all the Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and Spirit Stones on the ground.

"Boss, the cleanup is complete."

Qin Xueji walked up to Su Yang and bowed slightly.

"300,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, 5,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Over 800 various Magical Artifacts, and more than 200 Cultivation Technique Jade Slips."

Su Yang took the Storage Pouch and casually threw it into the System space.

Although this batch of resources wasn't top-tier...

...it was just right for feeding Dahei or as fuel for the Spirit Gathering Formation in the courtyard.

"Let's go. Time to close the net at the Zhongnan Mountain."

Su Yang turned his head to look at the three women beside him.

Bai Li, in a white dress and exuding an immortal aura, nodded with a smile.

Mary flapped her black bat wings, her tight leather outfit outlining her explosive figure, her face full of excitement: "Boss, more fun? These ox-nosed old Taoists must have hidden a lot of treasures!"

Su Yang raised his left hand and flicked the ice dragon jade bangle on his wrist.

"Little White Strip, come out and get to work."

A world-shaking dragon roar echoed through the wilderness.

A hundred-meter-long Frost Giant Dragon burst through the air and circled in the sky.

The massive dragon's pressure caused the surrounding temperature to plummet, and a layer of white frost instantly formed on the ground.

Su Yang pulled Qin Xueji's slender waist into his arms and leaped onto the dragon's back with the three women.

The Frost Giant Dragon flapped its wings vigorously, turning into a dazzling white light as it sped towards the northwest.

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, the astral winds howled.

Mary clung to Su Yang's right arm like an octopus, her full chest constantly pressing and rubbing against him, her blonde hair brushing against Su Yang's face.

"Boss, the Celestial Masters Sect has a Legacy of thousands of years; they must have many delicious Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines. Give me some to try later."

Su Yang pinched her high nose bridge and chuckled: "You'll get yours. But I'm going to empty everything inside, not even leaving a single floor tile for those trash."

Qin Xueji, blushing, nestled obediently on Su Yang's left, her long legs wrapped in black silk slightly crossed, showing the charming contrast of an iceberg CEO.

In less than half an hour, the rolling Zhongnan Mountain appeared ahead.

According to the Old Celestial Master's memories, the Celestial Masters Sect's thousand-year treasury was not located in the Sect's visible grounds but hidden within a very secret natural cliff behind the main peak.

Only the Sect Heads of past generations holding the token could open it.

"Go down," Su Yang commanded.

The Frost Giant Dragon dived down and landed steadily in front of a dense forest behind the main peak.

Ahead was a steep cliff a hundred meters high.

The cliff surface was covered with moss and vines, looking completely normal and blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountains.

But with a sweep of Su Yang's vast Divine Sense, he immediately sensed very strong spatial folding fluctuations behind the stone wall.

"The illusion is set up quite well," Su Yang snorted.

He strode forward and punched the cliff wall directly.

"Boom!"

The ground shook and the mountains trembled!

The hundred-meter-high hard stone wall shattered like a block of tofu.

As the stone wall shattered, a huge spatial vortex shimmering with eerie blue light was exposed to the air.

This was the entrance to the Secret Realm of the Celestial Masters Sect's treasury.

"Go in."

Su Yang ignored the repulsive force of the spatial vortex and strode inside.

The four women followed closely behind and disappeared into the depths of the blue light.

Passing through the spatial vortex, the view suddenly opened up.

This was a massive underground karst cave about the size of several football fields.

Hundreds of fist-sized night-luminescent pearls were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day.

In the center of the cave stood a massive thirty-meter-tall bronze pagoda.

The pagoda had seven floors, its entire body emitting an ancient and weathered bronze luster.

Bronze wind chimes hung from the eaves of each floor, swaying on their own without any wind and making crisp, ethereal sounds.

The door to the first floor of the pagoda was tightly shut, carved with complex and profound thunder runes.

Purple electric arcs flickered faintly in the air around it, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

"Boss, there's a very strong defensive Formation on the door."

Qin Xueji, being exceptionally clever, whispered a reminder.

Mary volunteered and flapped her wings to fly forward.

"This Young Miss will tear it apart! Thinking a few scrap talismans can block the way!"

Mary extended her hands, and ten-centimeter-long blood-colored claws instantly sprouted from her fingers.

She turned into a bolt of black lightning and clawed fiercely at the bronze door.

"Bang!"

The moment her claws touched the door, the thunder runes on it blazed with light!

A violent purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket, carrying the power to destroy everything, struck Mary directly.

"Ouch!"

Mary let out a cry and was sent flying backward by the lightning, crashing heavily onto the white jade floor.

Although a Vampire's Physical Body is powerful and has amazing recovery abilities, and she wasn't seriously injured...

...her beautiful golden wavy hair was standing on end from the electricity, her tight leather outfit was emitting puffs of black smoke, and a scorch mark appeared on her fair face, making her look quite disheveled.

"Damn it! What kind of crappy door discharges electricity! It nearly electrocuted this Young Miss!"

Mary scrambled up in a rage, clutching her numbed arm and looking at Su Yang pitifully.

Su Yang shook his head, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"The Celestial Masters Sect is best at thunder techniques. This door has the 'Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Formation' laid upon it. Forcing your way in will only result in a lightning backlash. Step back."

Su Yang walked to the bronze door.

He took out the emerald thumb ring he had searched from the Old Celestial Master and pressed it directly into the circular groove in the center of the door.

"Click."

It fit perfectly.

Immediately after, the thunder runes on the door gradually dimmed and went out.

The heavy bronze door made a grinding sound as it slowly swung open to both sides.

A gust of stale air, mixed with a rich medicinal fragrance, Spiritual Qi, and the auras of various Magic Treasures, wafted out from inside the pagoda.

Su Yang stepped over the threshold.

The space on the first floor of the pagoda was enormous.

Dozens of huge display shelves made of red sandalwood were placed against the walls.

The shelves were densely packed with various rare medicinal herbs:

Century-old ginseng, thousand-year-old lingzhi, bundles of top-grade fleeceflower root...

Taking any single one of them to the secular world would trigger a bloody storm.

In the central area, boxes of gold, silver, antiques, and paintings were piled up.

Secular wealth was treated completely like trash here, discarded at will.

"These hypocrites of the Celestial Masters Sect, just how much of the people's hard-earned wealth have they plundered over thousands of years?"

Qin Xueji couldn't help but sigh as she looked at this staggering wealth.

"Take it all. Don't leave a single item."

Su Yang spoke indifferently.

Qin Xueji immediately stepped forward and began a frantic sweep with the Storage Pouch.

Su Yang did not linger on the first floor.

He walked straight towards the bluestone stairs leading to the second floor.

They swept through five floors in a row.

The second floor was full of weapons and armor.

The third floor was filled with Cultivation Technique Jade Slips.

The fourth floor was piled high with various Medicinal Pills, and the fifth floor contained a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

The thousand-year foundation of the Celestial Masters Sect...

...all changed its surname to Su at this moment.

When Su Yang stepped onto the stairs leading to the sixth floor...

...the surrounding air suddenly turned cold.

A gloomy, bone-chilling cold spread down from above.

The space on the sixth floor wasn't large, but the temperature was eerily cold.

Thick frost covered the surrounding stone walls, and in the center sat only a massive coffin made of ten-thousand-year-old gloomy wood.

The coffin's surface was covered with dense evil-warding yellow talismans, painted with eerie runes in cinnabar, and the exterior was tightly bound with thick iron chains.

"Something's alive?"

Bai Li's brows furrowed slightly, her purple eyes staring intently at the gloomy wood coffin.

She could clearly sense a faint, intermittent heartbeat coming from inside the coffin.

Suddenly.

From the direction of the top floor of the pagoda, the seventh floor, came a very muffled sound of iron chains clashing.

"Clatter, clatter..."

Along with the sound of the chains.

A terrifying Death Qi, far exceeding the Golden Core Stage Great Perfection and infinitely close to the Soul Transformation Stage, surged down from the top of the tower like a bursting flood!

The entire bronze pagoda shook violently.

A pair of massive scarlet eyes...

...suddenly snapped open in the endless darkness of the seventh floor!
