381: inner layer of the treasure vault

These halls seemed to have been abandoned for a long time; some had collapsed halfway, almost turning into a field of ruins.

Furthermore, there didn't seem to be any Shadow Demon Remnant Souls in the area where these halls were located. Everywhere was deathly silent, with only the faint sound of devilish winds whistling through.

There was not a sliver of light nearby, making the area feel somewhat eerie.

"Su Yun, there doesn't seem to be anything here!"

"Could that shadow demon clan identity token be pointing in the wrong direction?"

Leng Xirou was somewhat puzzled; her Divine Sense had scanned the vicinity several times without discovering anything special.

Beneath that lake earlier, there had at least been an invisible Restriction that limited Divine Sense exploration, indicating that the place was unusual.

But this area clearly had no Restrictions and was incredibly desolate. Her Divine Sense swept through and didn't see a single Heaven And Earth Treasure, let alone any Shadow Demon Clan Legacy.

Perhaps there was simply no Shadow Demon Clan Legacy in this area at all.

"It should be correct."

"However, there were so many Ancient Restrictions on the periphery of the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins, yet there isn't a single Ancient Restriction deep inside. This is indeed a bit strange!"

"So, I think there are two possibilities!"

"Oh? Which two possibilities?"

"One possibility is that there are simply no Restrictions here; perhaps this was the living quarters of the Shadow Demon Clan, or there were originally Restrictions that were destroyed after a great battle."

"The other possibility is the most dangerous: there are a large number of Restrictions here, but their level is so high that we cannot detect them."

"Or, someone is controlling the Restrictions behind the scenes and has directly turned them off, which is why we haven't noticed them."

Su Yun said in a heavy tone.

Ever since Yan Ling warned him about someone spying on them half an hour ago, he had noticed that a huge change seemed to have occurred within the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins.

The surrounding Devilish Qi had become incredibly violent.

And most importantly, the deeper he went, the fewer Shadow Demon Remnant Souls or Restrictions he encountered.

He was practically strolling along, heading deep inside without encountering the slightest obstacle.

If it were just a coincidence, then so be it.

But if it wasn't a coincidence, then his previous suspicion was correct.

There was a powerful Shadow Demon controlling the Restrictions and Shadow Demon Remnant Souls within the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins, while simultaneously luring him into this area.

How interesting!

To actually set their sights on him?

"Hearing you say that makes my skin crawl."

"Then Su Yun, you must be careful. I will use a Fox Clan Secret Technique at any moment to temporarily boost your strength."

"That way, if we really encounter danger, our chances of winning will be higher!"

Leng Xirou said hurriedly upon hearing this.

If it really was the second possibility, it meant that the depths of these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins were far more dangerous than the periphery.

However, with the support of her Fox Clan Secret Art, Su Yun's strength should be able to increase significantly for a short time, allowing him to better handle a crisis.

"I understand. Let's continue exploring these halls!"

"First, let's go check out the hall where the Shadow Demon Clan Treasury is located!"

Su Yun's heart warmed at Leng Xirou's words, and he spoke softly.

Following that, he followed the guidance of the token and hurried toward a remote hall.

This hall was a full several thousand feet in size and looked dilapidated on the outside.

The hall doors had already collapsed halfway, revealing the situation inside.

Inside the hall, there seemed to have originally been many shelves, but now those shelves were pushed over haphazardly, and rubble was everywhere. One could vaguely see boxes and various Medicinal Pill bottles scattered all over the floor.

"It seems this place has already been looted."

Su Yun released his Divine Sense to investigate the situation inside the hall but found no Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Just as Ye Jingchen's life script had stated, everything in the outer layer of the Shadow Demon Clan Treasury had already been taken.

But this was also quite normal.

These Shadow Demon Clan Ruins had been opened many times.

With so many people coming in to explore, there would certainly be those with enough strength to reach the depths of the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins to investigate.

In that case, it was not surprising that the outer layer of the Shadow Demon Clan Treasury had been picked clean.

"It seems there really is nothing here."

"I thought there would be some hidden Heaven And Earth Treasures!"

"Don't say that just yet; there really is something hidden!"

Su Yun said in a mysterious tone.

Leng Xirou's beautiful eyes lit up. She was somewhat curious and said in a charming tone:

"Really? Where is it?"

Su Yun directly picked up that broken shadow demon clan identity token and walked all the way to the depths of the hall.

Just then, a faint spiritual rune flashed on the shadow demon clan identity token.

Dozens of complex spiritual runes also flashed simultaneously on the wall in the depths of the hall, as if they had sensed something.

Immediately after, a black spiritual light emerged from the middle of the wall, then instantly spread to both sides, transforming into a spatial passage just large enough for one person to enter.

"This... this is? This Shadow Demon Clan Treasury actually has an inner layer?"

Leng Xirou's eyes widened and her red lips parted slightly in shock.

She had thought there was nothing left.

As it turned out, another space was hidden here.

"It's normal; the treasuries of many great powers are designed this way."

"Our White Fox Clan doesn't seem to have one."

"Uh, that's not important. Let's go in now and see what Heaven And Earth Treasures are there!"

Su Yun spoke as he entered that deep black spatial passage.

A faint spatial ripple flashed.

Su Yun directly entered another space. This space was quite a bit smaller than the space inside the hall outside, but several shelves within the space were filled with various precious Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Overwhelming Devilish Qi suddenly erupted from these Heaven And Earth Treasures.

It was obvious that these Heaven And Earth Treasures had all been collected from the Devil Realm.

Generally, only the Demon Race or devil cultivators could refine these Heaven And Earth Treasures.

However, for Su Yun, these Heaven And Earth Treasures from the Devil Realm were the same as ordinary ones and could be directly refined by him.

"The number of Heaven And Earth Treasures stored in this inner layer of the treasury is quite substantial!"

With a wave of his hand, all the Heaven And Earth Treasures in the entire treasury were swept away by Su Yun.

At this moment, the System's notification sound rang out abruptly:

["Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully plundering Ye Jingchen's Opportunity, obtaining 1,000,000 Luck Points. Remaining Luck Points: 6,600,000."]

"Not bad, that's quite a lot of Luck Points."

Su Yun thought with some satisfaction.

"Time to leave this place!"

Su Yun looked around once more to see if anything had been missed. After checking and finding no errors, he stepped directly into the spatial passage behind him and left the inner layer of the treasury.

A faint spatial ripple flashed.

Su Yun directly left the inner layer of the treasury and returned to the hall.

The situation outside the hall now was completely different from before he entered the inner layer of the treasury.

Endless Devilish Qi seemed to be surging toward a certain direction, and a startling aura came from afar. It seemed that some change had occurred not far away.

"What's going on? Could it be that another Shadow Demon Clan Legacy has appeared?"

Leng Xirou said with some confusion.

"We'll know once we go take a look."

After Su Yun finished speaking, he flickered and left the hall.
