Chapter 113: Spoils of War

  The first watch!

  ——

  One sword slash, the void collapses inch by inch, and the two Jinyi Golden Elixir cultivators have nowhere to hide, silently and quietly annihilated and fallen, their corpses gone!

  What a terrifying sword this is?

  What kind of achievement has his swordsmanship reached?

  This scene, though only happening in an instant, had a strong impact on Chen's heart and soul, leaving him shaken and speechless for a long time.

  The Way of the Sword is indeed the unparalleled and supreme Great Way in the universe!

  Huffing and puffing......

  Ling Bai suddenly gasped for breath, and his one-zhang-tall body transformed into a three-inch-tall small person in the blink of an eye. His small face was deathly pale, exhausted to the extreme, but between his eyebrows, there was still a hint of proud and disdainful color. Apparently, this little guy was still very pleased with himself for being able to kill Su Leng.

  "Hurry up! If we don't go now, our way out will disappear!"

  Ling Bai leaped onto Chen Yao's shoulder, and with a wave of his small hand, the weapons and storage magic treasures left behind by Su Leng and Su Ding's six people were all taken away.

  Chen Yao raised his eyes and saw that in the extremely vast great hall, the walls, stone pillars, and floor... all appeared with cracks, violently shaking non-stop, on the verge of shattering and disappearing.

  And at the place where Su Leng died, a twisted transparent passage led straight outwards. Apparently, this was the crack that Ling Bai had just slashed open with his sword.

  Whoosh!

  Chen's hesitation was gone, and he immediately employed his Divine Wind Transformation Escape Technique. Like the wind and lightning, he suddenly burst into the passageway.

  Rumble!

  Just as Chen's figure had just left, the entire main hall suddenly collapsed, and the white bones, flesh mud, corpses... on the ground were all swallowed up by the violent void turbulence, crushed to dust.

  In this way, the Sword Tomb's Silent Realm, which had lasted for tens of thousands of years, completely disappeared. Su Chen, the youngest Two Instrument Golden Elixir Cultivator of the Su family, and six Yellow Court Cultivators all fell, swallowed by the chaotic void without leaving behind even a single thread or trace, disappearing cleanly.

  ……

  In the depths of the vast desert, a hurricane howls, sand and dust rage, in front of a void crack thousands of feet long.

  Whoosh!

  A figure flashed out from within, after a few ups and downs, it stood firmly on the ground.

  "What a close call! If it weren't for Ling Bai's reminder, I would have almost died in there. That chaotic void was too terrifying!" Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief, recalling the scene from earlier, and still felt a lingering fear in his heart. He thought to himself: "I don't even know how those powerful beings managed to create space within the void, this kind of technique is comparable to reversing the heavens themselves."

  "Wow, we're rich, we're rich!" Ling Bai was flying happily in front of Chen Yu, with a string of storage treasures following behind her buttocks, including rings, jade bangles, waistbands... all seven of them shining brightly, surrounded by auspicious aura, swaying behind Ling Bai's body, just like a dazzling tail.

  "Rooooo..." The small lion-like Bai Kui saw the tempting delicacy and hastily chased after Ling Bai, with a drooling expression.

  These six treasure storage methods, one of which is a green jade bangle that was once owned by a Two Instruments Golden Elixir cultivator, how many treasures are stored inside? Just thinking about it gets people excited.

  Chen Yao's face also couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, and with a wave of his hand, these storage treasures all fell into his palm, starting to sort out the spoils of war.

  Ling Bai and Bai Kui stood on one side with wide eyes, their eyes shining brightly, apparently these two little guys also had a crush on the treasure.

  Su Leng's storage jade bangle was a deep, rich green that seemed to be dripping with dew. Inside, it appeared to have a silver river flowing through it, with starlight twinkling and forming various arrays: the Clear Mind Array, the Dust-Avoiding Array, the Water-Fire Mutual Birth Array, and so on. The power of these arrays wasn't particularly great, but they were all extremely practical small arrays.

  Chen Yao didn't even look, directly grasping with his left hand, a mouthful of true yuan sprayed out, directly wiping away the divine soul imprint on it. Su Leng was already dead, and the imprint on him naturally had no room for resistance.

  She immediately opened this storage jade bangle and Ling Bai hurriedly leaned in to look inside.

  Whoosh!

  As soon as the jade ring opened, a black and white intersecting light burst out of it, transforming into a white jade book and a black jade pen, which struck towards Ling Bai's eyes, startling him and causing him to hastily retreat.

  Book and pen?

  Chen Xiao was taken aback, seeing the two treasures seemingly trying to escape, and hastily reached out to grab them, but unexpectedly the black jade brush suddenly turned around, its sharp tip fiercely slashing towards his palm.

  That sharp and fierce power directly tore out a fragmented air wave in the void, as if a silver river waterfall fell down.

  "What a treasure! Will it attack again?" Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, but his hands didn't slow down, changing from grasping to fists, magical power surging, one punch heavily smashing down.

  Bang!

  The black jade brush was knocked to the ground by this punch, rolling around like a drunkard wanting to fly up, but it had already been grasped firmly by Chen Yu's large hand.

  Almost at the same time, his left hand suddenly reached forward, a powerful net condensed with magic, swooped down on the White Jade Book that had escaped over a hundred feet away, and with one pull, it was already caught in his palm, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape Chen Tai's grasp.

  "With such an astonishing spirituality, I don't know what kind of treasure it is." Chen Tai raised his eyes and looked over.

  At this time, the white jade book and black jade pen revealed their true forms. The white jade book was surrounded by misty clouds, its entire body icy cold, emitting a strange aura that seemed to be as vast as the ocean. On its surface, the three characters "幽冥录" were written in bold and upright strokes, with not a single deviation, evoking a strong sense of fairness, severity, and solemnity.

  The three words "幽冥录" send chills down one's spine, evoking thoughts of dark and terrifying things. However, the white jade book placed in front of Chen Tai is vast and majestic, shining with a bright and upright aura, like the unbridled spirit of the ancient sages, open and honest, dignified and upright.

  That black jade pen was also made of unknown materials, like iron but not iron, like jade but not jade. Its entire body was pitch-black, with no flaws or imperfections, a pure and extreme black color that seemed to be frozen in time. The words "exterminate evil" were written on it, exuding a strong and fierce aura, emitting an inexplicable and terrifying killing intent that struck the face.

  "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!......"

  Chen Yu only felt that the sea of consciousness was filled with countless killing words, countless shouts, clashing golden spears, blood-soaked, and a stern and majestic aura, as if to judge the world and slay all evil spirits.

  "Ah!"

  Chen Xiao hastily averted his gaze, his entire body already drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been soaked in water. "So formidable! The Yu Ming Record is majestic and powerful, the brush that kills evil is sharp and resounding, what kind of treasure is this?"

  "Could it be a rare treasure from the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld? No, it seems that there's also such a treasure in the Ancient Sage's Way...". Beside him, Ling Bai furrowed his brow and pondered, muttering to himself, clearly unable to recognize what this thing was.

  "Open it and take a look first."

  Chen Xiao thought for a moment, stretched out his hand to flip open the Youming Record, but only felt a surge of invisible prohibition suddenly gushing out, causing his fingers to numb with shock.

  "Can't open it?" Chen Tai refused to give up, trying with his true yuan, witchcraft, and even his divine soul's spiritual sense. However, no matter how he tried, he would always be bounced back by that invisible ban, leaving Chen Tai both shocked and depressed.

  "Roar!"

  On the side, Bai Kui had already waited impatiently, as if he saw the most delicious thing in the world, and rushed forward with a loud roar, opening his mouth to swallow Yu Ming Lu, but was caught by Chen Tai, unable to move, a pair of eyes staring at Yu Ming Lu, green and oily, like a starving wolf.

  Even the young Pixiu who eats all the treasures of the world can't help but want to take a bite, it's clear that this book and pen are a pair of precious treasures.

  "I don't even know where Su Leng got this thing from, probably not even he himself understands the subtleties of it." Chen Tai was frustrated and had no choice but to put the You Ming Lu and Zhu Xie Bi into his storage ring first, then looked at the Cui Bi hand ring again.

  This time, however, nothing else came rushing out.

  However, there was no longer any treasure that made Chen Xuan's heart feel surprised, only 600,000 catties of spiritual liquid, a large pile of spiritual pills and medicines, and some precious spiritual materials, all of which were extraordinary in quality, almost all of which were among the ranks of heavenly treasures and earthly gems, and could also be considered a stunning wealth.

  However, Chen Xiao later discovered a sword manual, which was exactly the method of refining and cultivating the "Five Slaughter Son Mother Sword", extremely evil and poisonous.

  Chen Xiao immediately destroyed the sword manual, he was extremely repulsed by evil and poisonous things in his heart, let alone cultivating this sword manual required slaughtering a full 250,000 lives, although he wasn't a good person in the classical sense, but such a heinous crime, he couldn't do it no matter what.

  He casually tossed a dozen or so pellets of medicine to Bai Kui, and Chen Yao cast his gaze towards the storage treasure of Su Dingyi and the other six.

  "Eighty-four pieces of low-grade Huangjie Fa Bao, twelve pieces of mid-grade Huangjie Fa Bao, six pieces of high-grade Huangjie Fa Bao, one piece of top-grade Huangjie Fa Bao..."

  Half a day later, Chen Yao thoroughly cleaned up all the storage bags and found a large number of magic treasures, as well as many elixirs, materials, and spiritual liquids. The total value was equivalent to that of Su Leng alone.

  "These treasures, either swords or guns or flowing silks, feather dusters... only six of the top-grade flying swords that reached the Yellow Stage are useful to me, the rest can't even be used by myself, what a depressing harvest!"

  Chen Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the Bai Jue who was happily wagging its tail on the ground, eating away at the scattered treasures. The frustration in his heart grew even more, thinking that all his hard work seemed to be just supplementing food for this little guy.

  Crack! Crack!

  A crisp sound rang out beside her ear, Chen Xiao turned her head to look, and saw Ling Bai also hugging a yellow-tiered flying sword, eating it as if chewing sugar beans, with a happy face, those sharp teeth almost made Chen Xiao dare not believe her eyes.

  "I... have I raised two foodies?" Chen suddenly felt a bit uneasy, thinking that if things continued like this, how many treasures would he need to fill the bellies of these two little guys?

  "Ling Bai, how can you also eat this?" Chen Tai pointed at the flying sword in Ling Bai's hand that had been eaten to a broken state.

  "Hmm, I'm cultivating." As he spoke, Ling Bai swallowed the flying sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, another flying sword appeared in his hand, which he bit into.

  Chen Xiao's expression remained calm, but the corner of his mouth twitched violently. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Right, since you can cultivate now, what kind of technique are you cultivating?"

  "It's the 'Jiemi Sword Classic'! You just saw it, I killed a two-instrument golden elixir cultivator!" Ling Bai proudly raised his chin, enunciating each word as if seeking praise.

  "That's the power of Jianzhang Jiemeng, it's what your family master left behind to protect you, but you just took advantage of it." Chen Tai also just realized.

  When leaving the cave, Ji Yu had said that the key to getting out of the Jianzhang Jiemeng realm was to let Ling Bai absorb the power left by its master. Calculating this way, Ling Bai did indeed absorb this terrible power, but instead turned around and used it all to kill Su Leng.

  "It doesn't matter who killed him, anyway." Ling Bai chuckled and didn't care that Chen Yu had exposed him.

  "So you want to improve your cultivation, and that means you need to keep consuming magical treasures?" Chen Xiao asked the question that was on his mind.

  "It's true, just like a Qi Refiner inhales and exhales spiritual energy, a Body Refiner transforms witch power. My body is a treasure, so I naturally need to swallow more treasures to strengthen myself. As my cultivation level increases, the rank of the treasures I need will also increase." With that said, Ling Bai ate another two pieces of treasure, letting out a comfortable burp.

  Having confirmed the two little guys' foodie properties, Chen Xiao could no longer hold back, covering his forehead with his hand and sighing endlessly. In his heart, he recalled a sentence that Duan Mu Ze had once said: "The feeling of tears streaming down one's face, who can understand?"
