The ancestor and the young master have rebelled!

However, such a precious Thunder Liquid was not the most valuable item in the entire Treasure Trove.

Things like Fire Spirit Liquid and Gold Spirit Liquid, which were as famous as Thunder Liquid, each possessed their own unique wonders.

They were existences that countless major forces would fight to the death over.

Surrounded by various precious liquids, an ancient tree exuded vibrant vitality, appearing extraordinary and out of place among the surrounding treasures.

It stood seven feet tall, entirely verdant, with lush branches and leaves, and bark resembling Dragon scales.

Its leaves were like palm-leaf fans, inscribed with mysterious runes, as if corresponding to the myriad celestial phenomena in the sky.

"It's actually a Starry Sky Saint Ancient Tree!"

Feng Buqun's scalp tingled, and he once again gasped in cold air.

"The legendary Starry Sky Saint Ancient Tree corresponds to the mysteries of the starry sky and contains the ultimate principles of the starry sky."

"It blossoms once every thirty thousand years, bears fruit once every thirty thousand years, and ripens once every thirty thousand years."

"Each time, it yields three fruits!"

"If one can swallow a single fruit, they will have the chance to comprehend the power of the Starry Sky Dao, thereby gaining the probability of completely stepping into the Saint-Grade realm."

"If all three fruits are swallowed at once, one can completely Master the power of the Starry Sky Dao, thereby becoming a true Saint-Grade expert."

"The Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan is terrifying; they were even able to collect such a rare treasure."

Zhong Qing looked at Feng Buqun, who was completely losing his composure and shouting excitedly at his side.

"You know a lot!"

Hearing this, Feng Buqun gave an embarrassed smile.

"Master, it's not that I know a lot, but rather that these treasures are too famous; any native of Central Continent, as long as they live long enough, would find it difficult not to know about them."

"If not for Master, I'm afraid I would never have had the chance to see treasures of this caliber in my life."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing no longer paid attention to him.

Instead, he once again surveyed the Treasure Trove.

He had to admit, this Secret Realm truly gave him a considerable surprise.

Here, High-Grade Spirit Stones were just the most basic items.

Those rare Spirit Liquids were also extraordinary.

The Starry Sky Saint Ancient Tree could almost provide him with a Saint-Grade Disciple.

Of course, it wouldn't happen immediately.

It would require his Disciple to grow to a certain height.

And it would also need time to bear fruit.

Aside from these.

Within the Treasure Trove, there were countless King-Grade Spirit Medicine, Emperor-Grade Spirit Medicine, and Venerable-Grade Spirit Medicine.

There were even dozens of Saint-Grade Spirit Medicine.

Correspondingly, divine weapons and Spirit Pills were also piled up like mountains.

Not a single item was below King-Grade.

The sheer quantity, Zhong Qing estimated, was enough to equip over two million of his Disciples with one item each, with a large amount still remaining.

And these basic Spirit Pills and great medicine were what Zhong Qing currently valued most.

Because they could almost instantly be converted into the strength of his Disciples.

"It seems you collected a lot of good things back then!"

Zhong Qing looked at Phoenix Yingtian and said with a smile.

Feng Buqun thought to himself: A Treasure Trove that can arm over two million people—the sheer quantity is astounding to even think about.

This was more than just collecting a lot of good things; at the Peak of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, it was probably enough to have scoured the very ground clean.

Phoenix Yingtian, on the other hand, said, "It is the honor of my Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan that Master can favor it."

At this moment, Phoenix Yingtian had already clearly understood.

Although treasures were good, compared to the future of their clan, they were simply not worth mentioning.

After all, treasures were inanimate, but people were alive.

If they could use this opportunity to curry favor with Zhong Qing, and given time, once Zhong Qing fully accepted them and helped them resolve the curse, then all of this would be worth it.

Meanwhile, the Twelve Demon Generals, without needing any instructions from Zhong Qing, had already transformed into a swarm of locusts.

They collected all the treasures they could see into their pockets.

This scene made Feng Buqun's heart itch.

"Master, can I collect treasures with the Twelve Demon Generals?"

Treasures were everywhere before his eyes.

Both in quantity and quality, they surpassed his Feng Yu Sect's collection by more than a thousand or even ten thousand times.

He could collect everything and hand it over to Zhong Qing.

But he couldn't just not collect them.

He had never experienced this feeling of picking up money everywhere in his life.

"Go ahead!"

Zhong Qing did not stop him.

And so, the Twelve Demon Generals and Feng Buqun immersed themselves in the endless joy of collecting treasures.

There were so many rare treasures in this Treasure Trove.

Even with the combined efforts of the Twelve Demon Generals and Feng Buqun, it took several hours to clear it out.

If not for the Five Elements Pagoda, which contained the treasures, being born from this Five Elements Land and connected to the earth's pulse, even the Five Elements Pagoda would have suffered a tragic fate.

And this, according to Phoenix Yingtian, was only the smallest of the two Secret Realms.

After the group had finished collecting the treasures.

Phoenix Yingtian, without stopping, once again led Zhong Qing and his party to the second Treasure Trove to retrieve treasures.

It was only long after they left that the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds in the clouds slowly came back to their senses.

"Just now, Clan Chief and Young Lord seemed to have brought people to empty our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan's Treasure Trove."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately shouted angrily.

"Impossible!"

"How could Clan Chief and Young Lord do such a treacherous thing?"

"For the sake of our clan, Clan Chief abandoned his dignity, just to infiltrate the enemy and resolve the curse for us."

"If you continue to slander and defame the Clan Chief like this, be careful, I will turn hostile."

Someone reprimanded.

Phoenix Yingtian's persona had been too deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Even though the incident happened right before their eyes, they didn't associate it with his betrayal.

Some even defended his reputation.

The Clan Chief's reputation must not be slandered or shaken.

"Then how do you explain this scene before us?"

These words left the person defending Phoenix Yingtian speechless.

"Perhaps, the Clan Chief was just trying to mislead the enemy."

"He led the enemy on a tour of the Treasure Trove."

"Actually, the real Treasure Trove is still inside."

Even as he said this, he himself felt it was false.

But at this point, only by saying this could he find a little psychological comfort.

"What is the truth? We'll know if we go down and see, won't we?"

At this moment, someone suggested.

And this suggestion received unanimous approval from everyone.

Once they confirmed that Zhong Qing and his party had completely left, they rushed down in a hurry.

They ran into the Five Elements Pagoda.

However, when everyone saw the scene before them, they were completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, inside the Five Elements Pagoda, let alone rare treasures.

Not even a single Spirit Stone remained.

The ground was terrifyingly clean.

So clean that even a mouse would cry and leave if it entered.

Their Treasure Trove, accumulated over countless years, was emptied just like that.

In an instant, the eyes of all the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan members turned red.

At this moment, if they still didn't understand what had happened, then they were truly too foolish.

Someone, with bloodshot eyes, gritted their teeth and said, word by word: "The Clan Chief and Young Lord brought people to empty our Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan's treasures accumulated over countless years; they have betrayed us!"
