100: Chapter 100 Narrow the way out!
Inside the alley!
Looking at the several bodies on the ground, Chen An's eyes flickered, then he walked over and started looting the bodies.
"Poor wretches!"
He first searched the five Blood Demon Sect assassins from earlier, but only found less than a thousand yuan crystals and some miscellaneous Low Grade medicinal powders, causing Chen An to curse his bad luck inwardly.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed normal.
After all, these people were just brainwashed cultists at the bottom of the Blood Demon Sect, willing to sacrifice their lives to the Blood Demon Sect at any moment.
Besides, who carries a pile of yuan crystals when going out to kill?!
Finally, he turned his gaze to the body of Incense Master Huang Baichuan, the man who had died with his eyes wide open and claimed to be an Incense Master of the Blood Demon Cult.
And this Incense Master of the Blood Demon Cult did not disappoint him; he was actually carrying a Storage Pouch.
Because Incense Master Huang Baichuan was already dead, Chen An easily wiped away the imprint on the Storage Pouch and opened it.
"Not bad, worthy of being an Incense Master of the Blood Demon Cult; much better than those poor wretches!"
Looking at the collection inside the Storage Pouch, there were over a million yuan crystals, dozens of weapons of Yellow Rank and Profound Rank, a pile of Yellow Rank and Profound Rank Medicinal Pills, as well as over a dozen various Cultivation Techniques of Yellow, Profound, and Earth Ranks, and so on.
"Return to Origin Stage True Cultivation Technique, 《Rending Wind Piercing Air Leg》, 《Raging Waves Angry Sea Saber》, one Low Grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, and two Low Grade Earth Rank Martial Skills!"
"Not bad, when the time comes, I can deduce them and take them out to exchange for some yuan crystals!"
Nodding slightly, Chen An collected all the useful items from the Storage Pouch into his own, and as for the useless ones, he threw them all onto the ground.
After finishing the looting, Chen An stomped his foot heavily on the ground. Suddenly, the previously flat ground cracked open, creating a bottomless fissure that swallowed the bodies and the bloodstains on the ground.
Immediately after, he stomped his foot again, and the entire ground churned and returned to its original state.
If not for the marks left on the walls from the collision, no one would have suspected that a battle had just taken place here.
After doing all this, Chen An's eyes shifted, the Void Realm rippled slightly, and at the same time, the sounds of the outside world flooded back in.
That's right!
To avoid disturbing others, he had just used his Domain to seal off the entire alley.
Otherwise, with the few of them fighting for so long and making such a commotion, someone would have discovered them long ago.
Glancing at the now-normal alley, Chen An walked out. Although night had fallen, the streets were still bustling with people and brightly lit.
"West of the city, the abandoned Dragon King Temple!"
Standing at the alley entrance, Chen An couldn't help but look towards the west of the city.
"Fine, it was you who provoked me first!"
"If you don't weed out the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze!"
Staring at the dark sky in the west of the city, Chen An murmured in a low voice, then lifted his foot and stepped forward.
The next moment, his entire figure dissipated into the Void Realm like foam.
"Eh, where did the person go?!"
Not far away, an old man who happened to see Chen An vanish was slightly stunned and reached out to rub his eyes.
About three miles outside the west of Chengtian Prefecture!
The abandoned Dragon King Temple!
The dilapidated walls in the night looked like a dormant giant beast; weeds were knee-high, and chilling winds blew in gusts.
The temple was empty, save for the mottled Dragon King statue in the center, whose eyes were wide open, emanating an eerie chill.
A seemingly ordinary middle-aged man appeared silently outside the temple gate. With a thought, an invisible ripple spread out, clearly perceiving a vast space dozens of meters underground, surging with thick, sinister Qi and the scent of blood.
"Sure enough, hiding underground."
He did not stop, walking straight to the Dragon King statue and flicking his finger.
"Swish!!"
A sharp burst of force pierced through the air, accurately striking the hidden compartment in the center of the Dragon King statue's forehead.
"Click!"
The sound of a mechanism turning rang out, and the Dragon King statue slowly moved aside, revealing a pitch-black tunnel entrance, from which a foul wind mixed with the smell of blood rushed out.
Chen An glanced at it expressionlessly, then leaped into the tunnel.
The tunnel wound downwards, and every few yards, a Blood Demon Sect cultist holding a curved blade stood guard. These cultists had cultivation levels no higher than the fifth stage of the Acquired Realm; they didn't even have a chance to react in front of Chen An.
His figure swept past like a ghost, and wherever he passed, he left behind corpses with blood holes in their foreheads, without making a single sound.
A moment later, Chen An arrived at the hall of the underground stronghold.
In the center of the hall, a huge blood pool was bubbling, and dozens to hundreds of pale corpses were soaked in the pool water. The thick smell of blood and Devilish Qi intertwined, making one feel nauseous.
On the high platform directly in front of the blood pool, two grim-faced, black-robed men—one fat and one thin—were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, their bodies exuding the powerful aura of the Innate Realm.
"Who?!"
Just as Chen An stepped into the hall, the two men suddenly opened their eyes, and two beams of blood-red light flashed past in their eyes.
Seeing the strange middle-aged man walk in, the two looked at each other, a look of suspicion flashing across their faces.
"The person who is going to take your lives!"
Chen An's expression was indifferent as he stepped out of the shadows and said, "The words from the mouth of the Devilish Cult really cannot be trusted. I didn't expect that there would actually be two Innate Realm experts hidden here!"
"You're courting death!!!"
Hearing Chen An's words, the two men had a fierce glint in their eyes. Without saying anything more, they drew a saber and a sword, leaped into the air, and pounced towards Chen An.
"Pointless struggle!"
Facing the two Innate Realm Martial Artists pouncing towards him, Chen An didn't even look at them; he used his hand as a saber and waved it casually!
The next moment, two blade lights, condensed into substance, pierced through the air and instantly split the two men, along with their weapons, in half.
The two fell from the air, blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground, and the entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
At this point, there was no one left alive in the entire underground area except for Chen An!
"The Blood Demon Sect really deserves to be killed!!!"
Looking at the dozens to hundreds of pale corpses in the blood pool and the eerie patterns carved all around, Chen An couldn't help but frown, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph!!"
He let out a cold snort and stomped on the ground. Immediately, the entire hall shook violently, and a terrifying fissure appeared, swallowing the blood pool.
With another stomp, he buried the crevice back up. Only then did Chen An notice the two men on the ground. He extended his right hand towards them, and two Storage Pouches flew over and landed in his hand.
"Not bad!"
Looking at the over three million yuan crystals in the two Storage Pouches, along with quite a few Profound Rank and even Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Medicinal Pills, and weapons, Chen An nodded slightly, then turned and walked up step by step.
A moment later, Chen An's figure appeared outside the Dragon King Temple.
He looked back at the Dragon King Temple, and with a thought, the entire Dragon King Temple collapsed rapidly, becoming a pile of ruins.
He looked up at the pitch-black night, sighed slightly, and then his figure suddenly disappeared into the night wind in the deserted darkness...
