Chapter 1138 Plundering the Treasure Trove

The commotion was so loud that all the cultivators in this area were alerted.

On top of that, it attracted many more cultivators from different areas.

But to Lin Xun’s surprise, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan, Wu Lingfei, never showed up.

Moreover, of the Golden Crow experts that had rushed out, only a few were supreme figures while the rest were only at the peak of the Cyclic Derivation stage.

This kind of force was far from being able to pose a threat to him.

“Where did Wu Lingfei go?” Lin Xun scanned the surrounding Golden Crow experts, his eyes like lightning.

“Demon God Lin, you’ve gone too far!” The Golden Crow group looked upset and furious, but none of them dared to step forward because the difference in strength was too great.

Lin Xun was too lazy for the nonsense and simply rushed forward. In just a few breaths of time, he suppressed them onto the ground.

Just as he was about to enter the palace for a search, an icy voice rumbled in the distance –

“Demon God Lin, killing is forbidden within the city. You’re trampling on the rules!”

It was a group of people clad in the disciple uniforms of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, and the one who had spoken was a young man with graying temples.

The onlookers were shaken upon this scene. They hurriedly left the area.

Obviously, Demon God Lin’s violation of the rules had offended the ancient dao clan Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain.

Lin Xun turned around, his lips curling into a cold arc as he said, “I haven’t come to you to settle our score yet, and you guys delivered yourselves to the door! So what’s the deal? You want to stand up for the Golden Crow Clan?”

He hadn’t forgotten how domineering the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain was, charging and clashing their way to Enlightenment City. They had treated him, A’lu, and Toady like road blockers and wanted to trample on them!

“You are wrong. We are only defending the rules. We will give you a chance to repent if you stop now. Otherwise, I’m afraid that all the cultivators in the city won’t allow you to go on like this!” said the young man with gray sideburns coldly. He was Lu Chuan, a supreme heaven pride who had risen to fame a long time ago.

During the conversation, his group had quickly approached the scene with a rolling momentum. There were over ten people, and their auras were all extremely powerful.

“That’s right. Rules are rules, and even an absolute apex giant cannot break them!” a grim voice rang out, accompanied by another group of cultivators who appeared in an imposing manner, looking at Lin Xun with unkind gazes.

“It’s the Mysterious Metropolis Sect!”

The area stirred when they recognized the newly arrived group. Their leader, a tall, slim youth clad in scholar clothes, was Gao Xuan, a supreme figure of the young generation in the Mysterious Metropolis Sect.

“You are from the same sect as that cruel hag Ling Hua?” asked Lin Xun.

The expressions of the other party instantly sank. Fairy Ling Hua was an ancient freak of their sect. Hearing her being insulted like this enraged them.

“Demon God Lin, do you really intend to make an enemy of the entire city?” said Gao Xuan icily.

Lin Xun snorted, “Who gave you the guts to represent the entire city? You think you deserve it? Try standing in my path if you dare!”

With that, he walked toward the palace.

He did not drag his feet, and never once had he shown any trace of fear.

This put an ugly look on the faces of the cultivators of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain and the Mysterious Metropolis Sect. They gritted their teeth in hatred. This Demon God Lin is too arrogant!

The distant crowd smacked their lips. They all knew that Demon God Lin was daring, but they didn’t expect that he could be daring to such an extent!

What did it mean to act like no one else was around?

This was!

He left a sentence and just walked away as if they were air.

“Not good, the heavenly treasures collected for the seventh prince are still inside!” a beaten Golden Crow expert suddenly screamed. He frantically got up and rushed towards the palace.

Hearing this, the other Golden Crow experts on the ground couldn’t keep playing dead. Their faces all changed drastically as they ran into the palace in a hurry.

The audience was dumbfounded. If it weren't for the Golden Crow Clan’s notoriety, they would have rushed in and scavenged the palace.

Even if it meant that they could only get Demon God Lin’s leftovers!

In these past several days, the Golden Crow Clan had collected a large amount of treasures through various means, all of which were top-grade, rare treasures. There was no lack of king-grade herbs, all of which were for the cultivation of Wu Lingfei.

This was enough to make anyone drool!

“Demon God Lin is going to strike gold,” many cultivators quietly commented.

Even the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain and the Mysterious Metropolis Sect cultivators were moved, struggling internally as to whether they should…go in and stop Demon God Lin’s evil deeds.

But in the end, they all held back because going into the palace was no different from violating the Golden Crow Clan’s territory.

Although we can’t enter, we can deal with Demon God Lin afterward!

At this moment, the same thought coincidentally emerged in the minds of Lu Chuan and Gao Xuan.

……

Inside the resplendent palace.

After entering, Lin Xun realized that this base camp of the Golden Crow Clan was actually empty, with only a few attendants and the likes and not even a single expert.

“It seems that Wu Lingfei is really not here,” Lin Xun judged.

And then, he walked straight towards the depths of the great hall.

Along the way, there were occasional retainers of the Golden Crow Clan obstructing the way, but they were all suppressed by Lin Xun with the lift of his hand.

Eventually, he arrived at a treasure vault.

The door of the treasure vault was sealed with forbidden power. If it was destroyed with force, then the treasures inside would probably be destroyed as well.

“Stop!”

“Demon God Lin, do you really want to cross our clan?!”

The Golden Crow expert group had caught up with Lin Xun, quickly running over in shock and fury.

And then, there was a round of heavy sounds as Lin Xun beat them to the ground again, leaving them paralyzed and moaning in pain.

Lin Xun pointed at a gray-robed youth and ordered, “Open it.”

“The treasures inside are specially prepared for the seventh prince. Whoever touches them will be killed!” said the gray-robed youth in a trembling voice.

The Golden Crow group wanted to cry, feeling like they were in a nightmare. They were the hallowed Golden Crow Clan, and no one had dared to mess with them in Burning Immortal Ancient City.

But today, not only had they been brutally beaten at their door, but the other party also wanted to plunder them!

Who would dare to believe this?

“If you cooperate, you will all live. If not, I’ll destroy this treasure trove and execute all of you,” said Lin Xun casually.

He stood tall, his expression calm, but his dark eyes were surging with a cold killing intent. An invisible demonic might emanated from him and filled the air, oppressing everyone to the point it felt hard to breathe.

“I…” The gray robed youth seemed to be suffocated and couldn’t get a breath. His eyes rolled over, and he fainted.

Pretending to faint?

Lin Xun was stunned. What a weirdo!

However, this didn’t pose any difficulty to him. He lifted the gray-robed youth up and started slapping until the latter woke up.

With a swollen face, the youth wailed and bawled his eyes out before finally accepting his fate.

Boom!

The treasure trove opened, and a rich, intoxicating herbal scent poured out.

There were all sorts of aeth materials and treasures inside. Although the amount couldn’t be considered extremely numerous, they were all treasures that could not be found in the outside world.

After all, they were specially prepared for Wu Lingfei, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan. Their quality definitely couldn’t be bad.

With a glance, Lin Xun found five king-grade herbs, all exuding thick fragrances and a divine splendor that illuminated the entire treasure trove.

In addition, there was also a sealed, copper-red, jade box, which opened to reveal a milky-white jade bottle sealed by a golden talisman, appearing extremely mysterious.

“Nooo! You can’t move it!” a Golden Crow expert screamed and charged at Lin Xun like mad. Obviously, the treasure in this jade bottle was very important to Wu Lingfei.

Lin Xun kicked the expert away and put the bottle back inside the box before putting the box into his storage ring. The treasure inside must be amazing since it was sealed in such layers.

Next, Lin Xun swept through all the items in the trove, looting it cleanly. Finally, he turned to the Golden Crow group who were on the verge of collapse.

They had labored to collect the treasures, only to be robbed!

Meanwhile, Lin Xun couldn’t help but marvel in his heart. Plundering was indeed the fastest means of collecting wealth, simple and brutal. What was the point of seeking opportunistic fortunes when one could just plunder his enemies?

“You must not take them away! If the seventh prince finds out about it, he will go on a killing spree! No one will be able to withstand such fury!”

The Golden Crow experts were anxious.

“Speaking of Wu Lingfei, can any of you tell me where he is now?” asked Lin Xun.

Hearing this, the Golden Crow experts looked at each other in disbelief. This devil did such a heinous thing and still dares to go after the seventh prince? He’ll die an ugly death!

Just at this moment, a thunderous bellow rumbled outside the palace–

“Demon God Lin, how dare you barge into my clan’s territory and commit murder? You simply have a death wish!”

Along with the roar, four golden figures stormed in.

The beaten Golden Crow members were so excited that they shed tears of utter joy.

The four who had just returned were their clan’s supreme figures who held incomparable battle prowess, enough to suppress absolute apex giants!

……

Outside the palace.

The bystanders clamored when they saw the four top-class experts of the Golden Crow Clang return, each more powerful and terrifying than the last.

“Four top supreme figures of the Golden Crow Clan together, Demon God Lin is going to suffer!”

The cultivators of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain and Mysterious Metropolis Sect were secretly relieved.

But at the same time, they felt a sense of loss. They had planned to loot Lin Xun after he finished looting the Golden Crow Clan. It seemed that this plan wouldn’t work now.

The concerned onlookers were also paying attention, wanting to see if Demon God Lin had finally run into a dead-end this time.

“Argh, he’s too bent on having his way. He shouldn’t have entered the territory of the Golden Crow Clan and caused a scene. And now his escape is blocked…” Wang Dong inwardly sighed in worry for Lin Xun.

He personally found Lin Xun likable and couldn’t bear to see him suffer.

Just a few moments later, however, a scene made his jaw drop.
